Homegrown in Atlanta

Sunday, January 31, 2016

One of my favorite places to grab a bite of breakfast in Atlanta hands down is Homegrown. The unassuming building off of Memorial Dr., just a stone’s throw from Oakland Cemetery, houses a not so secret gem in the Atlanta restaurant scene.

Be prepared to wait, especially on Saturdays and Sundays, as the line can be out the door for a table. But once you order be prepared for your taste buds to be overwhelmed with deliciousness!

968 Memorial Dr. in Atlanta is the home of some of the most delicious breakfast one can find in the city. If you haven't been to Home grown yet put it on the list.
