Review: Rise 'n Dine, Druid Hills, GA

Rise 'n Dine is a great new breakfast-all-day place that recently opened in the space occupied by an old Mediterranean place in the Village. The decor is noticably different: stuco walls, adorable tables with embedded welcome mats underneath a clear plastic top, and a lot of adorable wall decorations everywhere.

The food is also awesome. The menu, divided into omelette's, eggs, and "breads" features sweet potato pancakes dusted with cinnamon sugar. Mine were light and fluffy. The regular stack was only $5 but I couldn't even finish because they were so rich. The coffee, a Honduras something-or-other, was equally delightful, with notes of lavender and chocolate, and a smooth, balanced finish. I was surprised to see that there wasn't a bigger breakfast crowd, but I'm sure it'll fill up more as word gets around.

Next time, I will probably try one of the omelettes. The Cucumber, Dill, and Goat cheese one caught my attention, and seems like a great flavor combination.
