We love supporting neighborhood businesses and getting to know the awesome people behind them! This week, we’re sharing six local treasures from around our Nest Realty locations:
BLISSFUL BISTRO
In the heart of Inman Park in Atlanta, Georgia, sits the dreamiest European-inspired café & bistro, Bread & Butterfly. We can’t get enough of the glossy green tiles, golden ceiling tins, and classic wicker bistro chairs. Whether you’re in the mood for a croque madame or a French 75, the morning-to-night menu is full of decadent dishes that will keep you coming back for more.
RIGHTEOUSLY ROLLED
If you haven’t tried rolled ice cream, you’re seriously missing out! This stylish ice cream, crepe, and coffee shop in Blacksburg, Virginia, is all the rage! FOAMO is co-owned by a Virginia Tech student and his brother, and stays open until midnight for those late-night cravings. It’s hard to choose—but the Cinnamon Toast Crunch rolled ice cream is one of our favorites!
BUENO BREAKFAST
Local Nesters eat here almost every-single-morning…the food at Taco Billy is THAT good! Based on the recipes he gathered while living in Southern Mexico for four years, owner Hunter Berry opened Taco Billy in Asheville, North Carolina. Grab a seat on the sun-drenched back patio, or find a spot inside to enjoy your breakfast taco, and see if you can spot the tiny orange billy goat that appears in each of the 20+ oil paintings along the hallway.
ZAAAAAAAA
What began as a food truck traveling around Memphis has landed in Jackson, Tennessee, as the delicious Rock’n Dough Pizza & Brewery. Homemade dough and sauce topped with freshly shredded cheese, veggies, and in-house smoked meats create the drool-inducing pizzas that Jackson locals have come to love. Pair it with a pint of craft beer brewed right in the on-site microbrewery. Gluten-sensitive options available, along with grinders, salads, and calzones.
SQWEEEEE
For the favorite little people in your life, head to Tiny—filled with all things adorable, from sweet clothing, shoes, and accessories to fuzzy stuffed animals. You’ll catch yourself swooning at each turn. Marvelous mobiles and silly pillows sit beside colorful toys, art supplies, and a perfectly curated collection of books. Now in a new location in Durham, North Carolina, this tiny shop is sure to take up a big space in your heart.
FUNNY FARM
Family owned and operated since 1937, Breahead Farm is the last remaining farm in Historic Fredericksburg, Virginia. You’ll find a farm market, pick-your-own produce fields, and family playgrounds. Admission to the produce fields is free, and $5 to play at the family playgrounds. Enjoy the play barn, corn pit, swings, and slides, then visit the chickens, cows, pigs, goats, alpacas, horses, rabbits, and sheep!
