“Breakfast with Friends”

Watch Natalie paint this art, and all 50 oil paintings in this collection (menu below)

“Savannah is known for its love of sweet tea, but coffee drinkers will rejoice over the many cafes that cater to coffee, coffee, coffee. There are also excellent sources for brewing coffee at home, and many options for fresh breakfast foods. My husband and I ate breakfast at Savannah Coffee Roasters, sharing a plate of delicious roasted potatoes. I was surprised at the level of energy and activity on Saturday morning. It was buzzing!

Established in 1909, the historic cafe and bistro is popular with tourists and locals. I’ve used this same phrase often throughout this book ‘tourists and locals’, because it’s true. In my experience, there aren’t any ‘tourist traps’ in Savannah. Nearly anything that tourists enjoy is a regular activity for the people who reside here.

The local coffee shops offer bags of coffee to buy and brew at home, so the warm fuzzy feelings need not end. Some shops blend events, catering, and art, becoming more than a tea, coffee, and snack place, but a community hub as well. I am usually home for coffee, but I still have breakfast with friends as I work on the computer and chat with people.”
