"The Highland Bakery all started when it’s owner Stacy started thinking about coffee. After seeing success from several coffee carts around the city and teaching Atlantans about what genuinely good coffee is all about, Stacy started thinking about muffins, breads, and eventually what Southern comfort was all about. From there, the Highland Bakery was born."

"Those with a smaller appetite will be happy to know that you can order half orders of some of the dishes. Whatever you are craving you can find it on the menu. I have my eye on their sweet potato pancakes and cilantro corn pancakes."

"Address: 1994 Hosea L Williams Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30317 Site: http://www.dulcevegan.com Phone: 1 404-624-7417 $. Plant-based bakery and café, Dulce Vegan is a cozy space worth checking out in the east end of Atlanta. Though baked vegan treats might be hard to come by in the city, there is no shortage of them here."

"We made the mistake of not trying any of Dulce Vegan Cafe & Bakery’s baked goods, mostly because we started with donuts and were ending with dessert. Instead, we opted to try their breakfast sandwiches. The bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on an English muffin turned out to be fantastic."

"Vegan and allergan-free baked treats are on display at Dulce, where you’ll often find fancy rainbow cakes and wildly colored cupcakes. But the ooey, gooey cinnamon rolls are a multi-napkin experience not to miss. The cakes, pies and tortes are great here."

Order one up plain, or add decadent toppings like chocolate frosting, cookie dough, chocolate chips, and more for your own cinnamon roll creation."

"It’s rare that dessert is our favorite meal of the day, especially when there are buffalo wings involved. We’ve been meaning to stop into a Cinnaholic for awhile, but just never got around to it. They are a chain restaurant and are located all over the country, which is dangerous because they’re so good!"
