"Some things in Atlanta are pretty predictable. For example, the self-checkout at your neighborhood Kroger will malfunction when you’re in a hurry and weekend brunch wait times will be at least 45 minutes. That’s why we’re thankful for Le Bon Nosh’s counter service brunch. Since plates are out of the kitchen relatively fast, tables flip quickly. The Buckhead spot is perfect for an impromptu breakfast gathering since a small crew can walk in and easily find a seat inside the French-inspired cafe or covered patio (they also have open seating upstairs when things get crowded). Order a lavender latte and the cardamom cake from the pastry counter until all your friends arrive, then go for heartier items like omelets and shakshouka when you’re ready." - nina reeder, juli horsford
