"Sun In My Belly is a modest indoor/outdoor cafe in Kirkwood that works in any situation. It's a come-as-you-are place, so you can roll in after a Beltline walk, after church service, or with unchecked morning breath (no judgement here unless you're a close talker). Find a seat on the awning-covered patio and order a Tip Top cocktail while you look over the menu and the growing pedestrian scene. Make sure to get some of their big housemade lavender biscuits to share and the PBLT, which comes loaded with pimento cheese and crispy honey bacon, if you’re especially hungry." - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams, jacinta howard
"Located in a restored 1943 brick hardware store, Sun in My Belly is a quintessential European neighborhood cafe catering to southern clientele. They’re known for their brunch, but their dinners are equally impressive. The Supper Club special is a great deal, and it usually features the best of what they have that day. Each dish is freshly prepared to order, so this is not the place to go if you’re in a hurry. Come to enjoy the food, the decor, the occasional live music and the eclectic locals of Kirkwood." - Allen Gaoiran
"What started as a catering operation, Sun in My Belly in Kirkwood has become one of Atlanta’s favorite breakfast spots. The pimento cheese omelet filled with honey-glazed bacon and served with hashed potatoes is a top order, as are the quiche of the day and scrambled egg brioche panini stuffed with cheddar cheese and honey-glazed bacon." - Lia Picard
"The Kirkwood brunch institution has a dog-friendly patio (they may even bring your pup a bowl of water!). It’s a great spot to chow down on one of their classics like the bananas foster French toast alongside your best furry friend." - Eater Staff, Lia Picard
"A favorite for breakfast and brunch in Kirkwood, Sun in My Belly isn’t afraid to show off its love for pimento cheese on the menu, including in an omelette and topped on fried green tomatoes. But the star of the pimento cheese show at this restaurant is the PBLT — a take on the BLT comprising pimento cheese, honey-glazed bacon, lettuce, fried green tomatoes, and scallion aioli served on toasted brioche bread." - Beth McKibben
