Customers flock to the Peachtree Café because this family-owned restaurant takes pride in every dish it serves. Opening the café was a longtime dream of Lidia and Victor Erazo Sr., and it has become not only a reality, but a resounding success. If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, then the Peachtree Café is the place to start yours. From the basic eye-opening No. 1 on the menu (two eggs any style, potatoes, toast, juice and coffee or tea) to a gourmet omelette menu featuring dishes that include a feta and spinach omelette and other inspired ingredient combinations, the Peachtree Café will point your compass in the right direction for the day. The café also offers delicious crepes, pancakes, French toast and Belgian waffles. Lunch is just as important to the Erazo family, and they offer a choice of sandwiches that will please one and all. From the basic grilled American cheese sandwich to burgers, the café’s popular Reuben and a panini menu featuring a Chicken Cordon Bleu panini, the Peachtree Café will help you stay your course for the rest of the day. Fresh salads, desserts and a kids menu are also among the café’s offerings. The Peachtree Café is a destination worth seeking out.
