When you think of a farm-to-table restaurant, what comes to mind? For me, I think of fresh, healthy foods. And for some reason, I always think of chickens running around in the back! Farm-to-table restaurants make me happy because I know I’m getting a meal filled with nutritious ingredients and I know I’ll be able to taste difference, as well as feel the difference after eating the meal.
I had the pleasure of visiting the Sweet Potato Cafe in Stone Mountain, Georgia for both lunch and Sunday brunch. Both times were delicious! Although they don’t have chickens roaming their backyard, this cafe is truly a farm-to-table restaurant. They grow their vegetables on the property – right next to the cafe. They also have a lot in the community garden where they source some of their food. For the meat, they get theirs from a Georgia meat person. How cool is that? Everything they use is sourced from Georgia growers!
The first time I visited this establishment, I went for lunch. Upon entering the building, we were greeted and seated at a table. The waiter informed us the cafe was known for their fried green tomatoes, so of course we placed an order for our table. Truly recommend getting this dish when you visit! These fried green tomatoes come with a scrumptious bean relish on top, and seriously, you will eat every bite – at least we did!

Brunch was simply amazing as well. Come hungry as Sunday brunch is all you can eat! Sweet potato pancakes, quiche, roasted potatoes, eggs, sweet potato biscuits, cabbage, creamed spinach, bacon, and my favorite – the meatloaf! My goodness. That meatloaf was life changing! They also had a jerk chicken, but I didn’t have any as I don’t like spicy food. But my mom said it was delicious!
Obviously, I had a great time at Sweet Potato Cafe and I know I will definitely be back soon! I highly recommend stopping by the Sweet Potao Cafe the next time you’re in the Stone Mountain area. Not only are the people and the environment welcoming, the food is delicious and fresh. You won’t be disappointed with the atmosphere or the food. I’d love to hear about your experience when you go, and don’t forget to let them know Larissa sent you!
What a neat place to check out. Sounds like they have a lot of great things on their menu. I love that this is a farm-to-table kind of place. I’ve never been to one, and that’s so cool you got to eat there.
I highly recommend finding a farm-to-table restaurant in your area! You can taste the difference – it’s incredible. Sweet Potato Cafe does have so many options on their menu, and I hope to try them all!
I love farm-to-table restaurants, especially if they have their own vegetable garden like this place you’re reviewing. The fried green tomatoes with bean relish looks really good. Wish I lived closer!
Right?! This was actually the first farm-to-table restaurant I’ve been to that had its own garden right there! And if you ever visit Stone Mountain, you know where to go for lunch 🙂
That looks absolutely incredible. Wish I was passing through Georgia soon!
When you do pass by, you’ll know exactly where to go!
How cool they grow their own veggies and get their meats in GA, too!!
Right?! That was super neat to learn! They are definitely passionate and dedicated to sourcing local – and I love that!
mmm this place looks so good!! Next time I’m that way in Georgia I’ll have to go!!
Yes, you should! I obviously recommend it 🙂
