"Krankies has transformed from a coffee roaster in a former fallout shelter into one of Winston-Salem’s go-to breakfast and brunch spots, blending hipster charm with an artsy edge. While coffee is still roasted on-site, the real draw is the Southern-baked biscuits stacked high with fried chicken, Texas Pete hot sauce, or vegan-friendly options. The restaurant prides itself on inclusivity — not just in its menu but in its culture, closing on the first Monday of each month to give staff a dedicated mental health day." - Nikki Miller-Ka
