My friend Lisa Graham who is the leasing agent for the shopping center that houses Riley Salon, Taqueria Los Hermanos, Dunwoody Tavern, Under the Pecan Tree etc., invited me to lunch today at the new Breadwinner Cafe.
I was pleased to get to meet Geoff Melkonian who owns Breadwinner Cafe with his wife, Katie. He said business has been steady but wanted me to remind everyone that they are not just open for lunch but as of yesterday, also for dinner. Special note: they serve beer and wine. I may have to go back tonight!
The restaurant looks great. I love the new decor and the place is clean….not just clean…SPOTLESS. The old Wright’s Gourmet porch has been totally transformed and is now air conditioned! They have positioned their tables well for social distancing. All the employees are wearing masks and there is plenty of hand sanitizer around for use by all. I particularly enjoyed that you sorta can feel like you are stepping back into Wright’s Gourmet. The ordering counter is in the same spot and so is the drink station. But the space has been completely renovated and is beautiful.
I always order the “lunch trio” at the Sandy Springs location so I can sample three delicious foods for $12.99. Attached is their most recent menu that I picked up today and scanned for you! A creature of habit…I ordered the lunch trio today with Gazpacho, Greek Quinoa, & Healthy Slaw. All my items were of course gluten free. Lisa ordered the Tomato basil bisque, Broccoli salad & Greek salad. We both devoured our delicious lunches!
Perhaps you think it is weird that I took photos of the bathrooms. Foodie Patty ALWAYS wanted to be sure to get a picture of bathrooms whenever she wrote AHA articles. Plus, Lisa and I LOVE the bathroom wallpaper!
We also love the new mural on the porch. Don’t you?
