This Is My SouthDecember 26, 2012To-die-for meals in this Westside cafe. All day brunch and boozy milkshakes make it a local favorite and one of our picks for Favorite Atlanta Meals! Read more
Spoon UniversityJuly 26, 2016No one makes a Coca Cola cake better than West Egg Café. Geniusly incorporating soda into the cake and frosting adds an extra layer of unique sweetness and makes it incredibly light and airy. Read more
Know WaitingFebruary 20, 2014The food here is AMAZING. Order the Peachtree Plate and enjoy the best pimento cheese grits in your life. Don't forget to grab the super delish red velvet donuts before leaving either. Sooo Good!
Sean HamiltonJuly 21, 2013Westside Pileup - amazing! Had 2 groups of 2 next to me ask me what it was and said "it looks fantastic!" I told them it was "fantasticAL!" Seriously though, it's a huge portion. Good for leftovers!
Tatiana HanFebruary 9, 2015It's breakfast. It's southern. It's delicious. A fav when eating w/ friends, but just as lovely to sit on the patio just to read & sip some coffee! The only thing this place needs is more parking!
SuprachibbySeptember 30, 2014Never had a bad meal here. Very busy for brunch. Worth the wait. Love anything with pimento cheese (omelet, grits). The best bacon! Charming atmosphere, great service and affordable.- Djaniella D.November 12, 2016many delicious options to choose from, but the pimento cheese grits is definitely the must try.
Laura SchneiderJuly 15, 2016Definitely try the southern favorites. Biscuits are always fresh, fluffy and delicious. I love the pimento and bacon omelette or spicy black bean and egg breakfast.
Kerrie DotyFebruary 21, 2017I don't think I've had anything bad here. It's hard to go wrong. The desserts are amazing! Coffee is better at Octane down the road, but the food and atmosphere is great.
My fav on the menu is the PB&J Burger: a double patty burger topped w/ pimento cheese, brown sugar bacon, & tomato jam. It's delicious. Get the side salad for bonus points.- Know WaitingFebruary 20, 2014Skip the long wait with Know Waiting.

Yera HaJanuary 13, 2015Grab the Peachtree Plate to try all the different flavors of ATL-- the pimiento cheese grits and brown sugar bacon were my faves. Say hey to Quinn at the bar!
The salmon Benedict are great , vanilla latte beautiful ... Great breakfast experience !!! If you are alone the bar is the fast way to have breakfast on Sundays .... It get full quickly.
LaurenDecember 31, 2015Coffee and pastries while you wait, you're welcome to walk to shops, service is fast, and pimento cheese grits are amazing.
Kammy kamOctober 22, 2011Hands down the BEST breakfast spot in ATL!!..you can not go wrong with any item from the menu!..my fav?????....pimento cheese grits---yummy!!..additionally please try the red velvet cupcake!!
Meredith BlechmanApril 28, 2015Favorite brunch place in Atlanta. Get there early - no reservations and weekend waits to be expected. Walk around west side shops while you wait!
Vicky RAugust 18, 2013The righteous pie is amazing -- it's some type of brown sugar buttermilk custard with an oatmeal crust. I'd also recommend the pig and grits, especially because of the grits.
Josh WeissJuly 8, 2018Urbane and trendy spot for creative types, and the food is authentic and served without attitude. Highly recommend for West Side spot.
BRUNCH! The wait can be pretty long but trust me, the food is worth it! Pancakes with spiced honey butter are delicious! Georgia Eggs Benedict is amazing! Yum :)
DanSeptember 1, 2017Egg-cellent place for brunch. Got the fried green tomatoes and cheese grits and candied bacon. It was perfect.
Aisha WhittedMarch 23, 2014The banana pancakes (with praline pecans) are some of the best I've ever had!!! Also the salted caramel latte is delish!!!
Go early because there's almost always a line out the door, especially for weekend brunch. If you only want coffee or a piece of cake, go straight to the counter instead of waiting in line.
The PBJ Burger for dinner is one of my favorite burgers in Atlanta. I also love the Short Rib Hash for brunch.
Laura MJanuary 2, 2013Loved this place. Calm atmosphere and great food. There is something to be said for a resturant that has a wait at 3 o clock on a Sunday. Sooo good!
Genna GayonFebruary 20, 2014Try the fried green tomatoes. The Bacon is awesome and grits were so creamy I could eat it all day.
Andrew CMarch 29, 2016Great hearty breakfast spot in midtown. Coffee shop at one end for delicious bean juice while you wait.
Madelaine LoweryMarch 15, 2014Salted caramel latte is great and not too sweet! I also second the fried egg sandwich recommendation. The tomato jam is incredible
Some of the best pancakes in the city. Really good grits as well.
Sabena ViraniJanuary 26, 2013If you like carrot cake, you HAVE to get the carrot oatwich. It's your childhood favorite oatmeal sandwich cookie with an adult twist. Absolutely delicious!!
Black bean cakes and eggs, hold the sour cream, salad instead of grits = the most delicious gluten-free, dairy-free meal ever.
Lairalaine WhiteOctober 7, 2013The build your own omelette was wonderful. Also, you can substitute the biscuit with another bread if you are counting carbs. I had the English muffin.
Atlanta Food Critic .comMarch 26, 2011These omelets were cooked to perfection, the ingredients were fresh and the presentation was very good. Melanie said the grits reminded her of the Creamy Dreamy Grits from Flying Biscuit Café. READ FU Read more
MikeFebruary 23, 2015Good brunch and pretty inexpensive. The fried tomato BLT was bomb. Try their cinnamon rolls if you're extra hungry.
Rafael CaponeJanuary 1, 2015Everything is great on the menu here!!! And I love this refreshing drink!
Michael MooreMarch 28, 2013One of the very few places in ATL where you can get an authentic, artisan cappuccino. They use B&B Bohemian Blend. Yum.
J BJune 15, 2019Huge menu. The build your own biscuit was great. My friends has the rib hash and loved.
Black bean cakes and eggs is my favorite. Salmon cakes Benedict are a close second. They have the best burger in Atlanta in my opinion. Enjoy!!
Amanda NouhanAugust 21, 2017Amazing! Great food and excellent staff. Get there early on weekends because the wait can get wild.
Megan SchmittSeptember 1, 2014Fried egg sandwich, waffle and Eggs Benedict. Long waits, but the food makes it with it. This place is on point.
Yvonne SmithMay 12, 2013Candy Bacon, and Banana Bread French Toast are definitely overboard, but worth the adventure. You won't finish it in one meal.
Krista RobertsonAugust 1, 2013The biscuits and gravy and pimento Mac & cheese are to die for!! It's even better with server Ben. He's an expert in the beers and food
If you like Coffee and like to get tipsy. The Irish Coffee is the way to go.
Jon B.April 8, 2023Fun breakfast join near Tech with great eats and solid coffee. Get there early before the rush.
Don't leave without trying the hot caramel cider and a big helping of pimento cheese grits! Mmmm
The fried green tomato blt is amazing! I don't even like pimiento cheese, but I like what they put on this sandwich.
Jackson ReevesSeptember 12, 2011Go for the eggs bene. They may taste a tad bland, but they're so healthy (and the new space is so posh) that you should overlook the minimalist use of spices.

"Atlantic station is overall great place to shop and dine, the best place for lunch is Chick-a-biddy - great organic chicken and healthy salads and sandwiches, other than that not much to choose from"
