So Proof is a bakery- but also a coffee shop / cafe. This place has if not the best then in the top 3 best backed goods in Atlanta. Their Pan de Campagne and sour dough breads are great. Chocolate chip cookies are delish and so many other things to try. At last visit they were using delicious counter culture beans for coffee and organic (locally sourced) milk.

Just around the corner from nearby Little 5 points, Fox Brother's BBQ, in our mind is home to the best BBQ brisket in the ATL. Consistently good, it can sometimes be a bit tricky to get parking - you may want to Uber and afterwards take a stroll to check out the Little 5 Points nightlife. Also, if you're not into the brisket, give the Burger a try or maybe a frito pie.

Ria's is an Atlanta icon. Called 'the world's best pancakes' by the New York times, but you be the judge. We know they're our favorites in the ATL. The Brisket breakfast is also a favorite. On the weekends, go early (go late - around 2pm) or be prepared to wait 30 minutes to an hour to get a seat inside. Alternatively, beat the line by calling ahead and ask for your order to go.

Our favorite Thai restaurant in the ATL. Surin may not be the fanciest but we've been coming here for almost 20 years and it is consistently good. It is the gold standard by which we judge all other Coconut soup.
