Layered with black beans, Highland Bakery's cilantro corn pancakes come topped with two over medium eggs, sour cream, salsa, cilantro, and a very generous portion of shredded Vermont white cheddar cheese."
"Multiple locations fuel Atlanta’s pastry loving taste buds with unbelievable baked goods. But the cinnamon rolls and dreamy Peanut Butter French Toast are where it’s at. The rolls are drenched in a gooey frosting-like glaze and have warm soft center, while the mile high French toast is satisfyingly hearty while bursting with nutty flavor."

"Sweet Hut offers such a wide variety of baked goods that it can be difficult to choose what you want. If you’re looking for a truly unique experience, make sure to get their hokkaido cupcake.

"If a dive bar, a dance hall, and a strip club had a baby, it would be the Clermont Lounge. This local landmark opened more than 50 years ago and it’s one of the first places anyone will mention when you ask what you have to do or see while you’re in Atlanta. The music is loud, the floor is dirty, and the beer is cold, and while some of the dancers are tattooed from head to toe, others are old enough to be your grandma and will show you some creative ways to crush a beer can."
"This beautifully restored vintage hotel in the Ponce De Leon neighborhood of Atlanta is bright, colorful and obsessed with the details of making sure you create memories. A lot of effort has gone into making this a unique and modern stay where you can tuck yourselves away in the corner of its brasserie and appreciate some great food or cocktails, or unwind on the rooftop bar taking in the Atlanta skyline. This is a place to escape to in style."
"There may be no finer view of the city skyline than from atop the Hotel Clermont on Ponce. The astro-turfed lawn decked out with loungers and an outdoor bar serving frozen drinks and street food beneath the iconic neon sign is hard to beat. Guests of the hotel and neighborhood residents have preferred access to the rooftop."

Not your typical gourmet bakery, Cinnaholic makes their specialty cinnamon rolls fresh daily with a variety of frostings and toppings and more than 20 one-of-a-kind flavors. They serve brownies, baked cookies, edible cookie doughs, and handmade cinnamon rolls 100% vegan and free of dairy, eggs, lactose, and cholesterol."
"The fact that this spot is vegan is the last thing on our mind with rolls as delicious as they are!. Cinnaholic’s over-the-top cinnamon rolls are a plant-based cheat meal we’re always craving. 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!"
"This small market and butcher shop features grocery essentials like bread, milk, eggs, and cheese in the cold cases. Prepared meals and other foods are also available.

"On this tour, learn about the city’s history and architecture with a stop at the beautiful 1928 Swan House and a visit to either the Margaret Mitchell House, the governor’s mansion, or the Rhodes Hall. Details of the tour depend on the day of the week and other details, but with three historic homes and two famous neighborhoods, you will learn more about Atlanta than on any other city tour."
"If you’re looking for something a little more vintage, Atlanta’s still got you covered. The Swan House was designed by Phillip T. Shutze for an elite married couple. Once they died, the mansion and its grounds were acquired by the Atlanta Historical Society."
"BuckheadA reservations-only speakeasy with impressive cocktailsHimitsu is impossibly sexy from its secret entrance to its sleek, mid-century modern design. The cocktails are Japanese-inspired and the bites are supplied by adjacent Umi. The reservations-only policy means that it’s never overcrowded and you won’t have to fight for your date’s attention (unless a celeb enters the room, which is a common occurrence)."
"Himitsu — which literally means "secret" in Japanese — is the ultimate speakeasy: a reservations only Japanese craft cocktail lounge from the same team as upscale sister sushi spot Umi. Expect sake, wine, champagne and Asian-inspired cocktails from world-renowned bartender Shingo Gokan, all served in luxurious glassware in a plush and intimate setting."
"Simply put, this tasty nook predominantly serves up amazing cakes at several Atlanta locations— if you’re really hooked, you can order online!. To each their own, but the Orange Layer Cake is off the hook and flavored with orange juice to mimic a creamsicle-sherbet taste. Peach Pound Cake screams Georgia making it another top pick, and the Cookies n’ Cream flavor melts in your mouth."
"I asked my fantastic food blogging buddies at the Atlanta Food Bloggers’ Society (www.atlantafoodbloggersociety.com ) about their favorite place to get a birthday cake and the overwhelming favorite is Piece Of Cake. Choose from Hummingbird Cake (contains no actual hummingbirds), Red Velvet, Strawberry and so much more. www.pieceofcakeinc.com"
"Piece of Cake bakery has been baking gourmet cakes from scratch since 1985. Get a personalized decorated cake for a birthday or special event or stop in to satisfy your sweet tooth. Customer favorites are the caramel frosted cake and sour cream coffee cake."
"Their menu is made from local, organic, and fresh ingredients which separates them from most bakeries in the Atlanta area. From lemon cake to wedding cakes, Dulce never disappoints. If you plan to cater for a wedding or just have a sweet tooth, Dulce can satisfy your needs!"
"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."
