Our Top Pick
Aretha's Dream
Breakfast plates with soul-food heft, built for real appetites.
Notable Picks
8.1
A neighborhood soul-food counter that actually starts the day early, with breakfast plates that lean practical—eggs, meats, grits, and toast—then transitions into heavier comfort dinners. For brunch, it’s a “get fed” stop: big plates, familiar flavors, and a no-frills ordering flow.
Must-Try Dishes:
Aretha's Special, 3 Egg Omelet, Grits
What Makes it Special: Breakfast plates with soul-food heft, built for real appetites.
Worthy Picks
7.9
A bakery-cafe that functions like a community kitchen—dessert case up front, savory plates behind it, and a casual room meant for quick check-ins. Brunch here is best framed as “something sweet plus something filling,” with slices and café-style picks that work for takeout or a short sit-down.
Must-Try Dishes:
Caramel cake, Sweet potato pie, Lemonade
What Makes it Special: Bakery-first brunch where dessert quality is the anchor.
