ATLANTA, GA — A new culinary attraction is coming soon to the Grant Park neighborhood just in time for spring.

Howdy ATL Biscuit Cafe will soon open across the street from Zoo Atlanta, offering handmade biscuits, sweet treats like empanadas, scones, or brownies, “plant-slant” lunch items and coffee.

The location at 753A Cherokee Avenue has been opened before as a breakfast spot and bakery location, so the clientele is already in place to serve.
