After getting burnt out on the Atlanta brunch scene for a little while, Folk Art was incredibly refreshing reintroduction. I seem to always find my way there around noon on a Sundays, and the wait time is usually between 20 and 30 minutes, with the option to have a cup of coffee while you waited. There is complementary Valet and street parking available.
Now onto the best part, THE FOOD!!!!
Brunch with friends! Smoked Salmon Bani and Cinnamon Pecan Sticky Bun French Toast
The Smoked Salmon Benedict and Omelet: I went out on a limb to try the Smoked Salmon Benedict first, since I am traditionally not a fan of smoked salmon, but I am happy to report that my life has been changed by this experience. The salmon tastes fresh from a smoker, nothing like the stuff in the packet in the deli section of the grocery store (thank goodness), hot, with great texture and a thin crust from the seasoning, and was accompanied by wilted tomato and spinach, topped with poached eggs and hollandaise. I request my eggs be poached medium, and they come out PERFECTLY! I have ordered a side of grits with my entree and have found a new favorite place for grits! I’m not a super huge fan of them, but these were very creamy, and had fresh pieces of corn mixed in. Perfect topped with a little cheese! I’ve also had the smoked salmon in an omelet, with spinach and tomatoes, and it was an equally amazing experience.
The french toast: I’ve tried every version of their French Toast and they’re all amazing. A slight buttery crunch on the edges, and delightfully chewy with cinnamon toward the center. I tasted the pork patty sausage as well, great crust and flavor.
Cinnamon Pecan Sticky Bun French Toast
We also had mimosas with our meal, and I tried their variation of the classic with orange juice and champagne with apple bitters, which added a slight bite to it, which I enjoyed, but be aware that it does add ‘bitterness’ and almost a tangy-ness to the drink. I’ve also had a chance to try a few of their lattes and caps and they’ve managed to make the best almond milk espresso drink I’ve ever had, with a nice thick foam!

I am happy to call myself a regular!
