Learn the secret to their house-made buttermilk biscuits and tomato jam, irresistible muffins and scones, delicious soups and sandwiches, and their decadent, eye-catching desserts.

"You'd think they were giving away crack inside this storefront café. At first glance, the menu looks like your run-of-the-mill American brunch fare, with some Southern additions. . . . The food is anything but ordinary, though: A bite of the moist, light buttermilk biscuits explains the clamor to get inside. They're best when slathered with tomato jam and sandwiching scrambled eggs, melted cheddar and bacon. But it's the pancakes that fuel Clinton's fierce loyalties. Perhaps the fluffiest discs in existence, they're so airy you half expect them to levitate right off the plate."
