Best Breakfast in Atlanta

Because Atlanta is not short on restaurants, it can be daunting to find the right place. We’ve got you covered!

Here are the top ten (in no particular order) breakfast spots in ATL for biscuits, french toast, eggs, and most importantly, coffee:

Rias Bluebird

If you are looking for a local dive and a place to start your day off right, consider stopping in at Rias Bluebird in Grant Park. Enjoy a steaming cup of fresh coffee with rum-soaked french toast or piping hot biscuits straight out of the oven.

Home grown

When searching for comfort foods, Home grown is an ATL favorite! It’s indisputably known for its biscuits and pimento cheese and will not disappoint. Besides, celebs such as Bill Clinton and Jerry Seinfeld have dined here, making it easily one of the top ten breakfast spots in Atlanta!

Muchacho

For the best breakfast tacos in Atlanta, make sure you plan to visit Muchacho for a unique experience that will leave your taste buds tingling. My favorite, the Migas taco, is filled with egg, chips, cheese, and black beans. But all of their tacos are fresh and mouthwatering!

You’ll also want to be sure to try their lemony ricotta toast and homemade jam on sourdough toast. And make sure you try one of their signature drinks, like the blue matcha.
