I recently had the delight of enjoying Highland Bakery for Brunch. This was my first time visiting Highland Bakery, but its reputation precedes itself!
This hot-spot can be easily overlooked; its a bit disconnected from the rest of the Inman park strip. This is a "pro" for parking; as there is plenty of free street parking to offset the 6 car parking lot of the actual bakery. But s potential "con" for the added view and fun of neighboring shops.
Highland Bakery is actually a bakery; the entire entry is a shop filled with fresh baked goodies and additional edible treats. The bakery serves a dual purpose as it's also the lobby for seated meals.
Saturday was busy but having a small party allotted for a short, 15-20 minute wait. My friend suggested French toast as an appetizer which was such a fatty move, but it was totally worth it! The French toast was of the fluffiest bread I've ever had and was truly toasted to a tasty crunch which held the sweet cream drizzle and syrup; it was accompanied by fresh berry medley.
For my entree I order a breakfast burrito! It was delicious! My eggs and bacon were cooked to perfection (I hate runny scrambled eggs); salsa was on point and on the side so I controlled the temp and sogginess. I was stuffed to capacity!
The atmosphere was quick paced which resulted in fast service and entrees being served; however with a bigger group it could possibly be hard to catch up in convo over the hustle and bustle.
Lastly, to my surprise, Highland Bakery is DRY. That's right- no mimosas and surely nothing stronger like a Bloody Mary or Screwdriver. Although the this isn't a requirement for all brunch-ers, if it is for you this isn't your brunch stop.
I would surely eat there again! They have lots of other great options ranging from southern traditional grits to egg Benedict with a vegan flair. Parking is free and manageable. And I can drink afterwards or maybe sit outside and tilt my flask ;)
