What’s better than a doughnut?  How about a peanut butter filled doughnut.  What’s better than a peanut butter filled doughnut?  How about a peanut butter filled doughnut topped with peanut butter and chocolate icing and a Reese’s peanut butter cup wedge.  Every doughnut in this place is worth the trip up to Alpharetta.

Highland Bakery Peanut Butter French Toast

We’ve written about it before, but we have to include it in this list once again.  The classic breakfast dish gets that little extra oomph with the peanut butter crusted on the outside and in between each layer of delicious challah bread.  But then, of course, they top it off with bananas and a caramel syrup they fry up for each dish.  One of ATL’s best!
