Cultivate Food & Coffee - Review - The Battery - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"Cultivate is a reliably good brunch cafe suited for The Battery’s big crowds and those who like ample choices. Food comes out quickly, so even the booths filled with large parties turn over as fast as the bar counter seats. And you can come in with a big family knowing the busy menu has a bit of everything to interest just about everyone. Think: Southern classics (we see you juicy chicken biscuit), tasty hash scrambles, build-you-ownr skillets, and decent waffles—along with plenty of halal, vegan-friendly, and gluten-free breakfast options. Food Rundown Build Your Own With half of the menu dedicated to building your preferred hash skillet, platter, or breakfast sandwich, these choices should embolden the picky person in your brunch crew to let loose. Start with base options, like seasoned roasted potatoes (our preference) or a flaky biscuit, before assembling your proteins (eight options including fish and vegan eggs), cheeses, vegetables, and sauces. We won’t try to persuade your picky friend too hard, but get a side of vinegary housemade hot sauce to smoother over your scrambled eggs. photo credit: Nina Reeder Vegan & Gluten-Free Beignets Even with assistance from strawberry and chocolate dipping sauces, these beignets are dry and mealy. Skip them. photo credit: Nina Reeder" - Nina Reeder
