Atlanta Brunch: Morningside Farmer's Market and La Calavera Bakery

We were driving to brunch one morning when we spotted the Morningside Farmer's Market. I'm a sucker for farmer's markets because of the local mom and pop stores that have booths there and of course the fresh veggies and fruits. While perusing through the market, I spotted La Calavera bakery.

I would highly recommend checking them out! The amazing smells from the fresh breads at the booth makes the cold trip worthwhile. I bought a few different types of bread, and loved all of them. My personal favorite was the one pictured below. It's some type of sweet cornbread, but i've already forgotten the name.

There use of organic sprouted breads makes them unique. All that really means is that they use the grains/lentils when they after they sprouted but before it becomes a full-fledged plant. This gives the advantage of less available starch and more available proteins, minerals and nutrients. Plus for people who have trouble digesting starchy foods, this leads to improved tolerance. Conventionally bread makers use ungerminated lentils/grains. (In case your wondering this benefit hasn't been proven through research, but is more of a trend catching on these days)

Atlanta Brunch : Rosebud

Lately I've been really into Brunch, and Atlanta has some great places to offer. So, I spent the past few months brunching! Also fair warning, I don't eat red meat so those items are not going to be featured in the posts.

What to order:

Food: We usually order 1 sweet and 1 savory dish. A must eat sweet item is their whole wheat pancakes made with organic flour with ginger thyme blueberry butter and vermont maple syrup. The taste of the melting butter is the perfect amount of sweet that you don't even need syrup. When it comes to the savory dishes, I really love the mushroom omelet with shaved fennel, leeks and vermont goat cheese and the chicken omelet with caramelized onions, cream cheese, and pickled jalapenos. Personally I would recommend the first. There's something about the combination of creamy goat cheese and fluffy eggs that I think tastes heavenly. The savory dishes come with a side of potatoes, which sadly are the only part of the experience that leaves me unsatisfied. The potatoes are too crispy and don't have enough flavoring.

Drink: I love fresh juices! I had 2 glasses of the freshly squeezed OJ, but next time I go back I really want to try the byne farms blueberry cider.

Atmosphere:

Located in Morningside, just outside the Virginia-Highlands, Rosebud is a cute intimate restaurant.
Parking: There is limited parking across from restaurant, however, I've never had trouble finding a spot on a Sat or Sun.
Service: Solid!
