Auntie Em's Kitchen is as home grown as you can get. Yet there is a little bit of Oz in every bite you take. First of all, they are located on Eagle Rock Blvd. in an area that most foodies wouldn't be attracted to. However, word-of-mouth has made it one of the most popular breakfast/lunch eateries around! The line is literally out the door every time I go but the wait is well worthwhile. The breakfasts are hearty and original. As noted in many of the eatery's reviews, the cupcakes are to die for! My favorite is still the chocolate. But try to wait until you have had your meal before you indulge. Pancake lovers will enjoy the fluffy buttermilk pancakes with bananas, strawberries and coconut and the honey orange French toast can't be beat. I also love their open face egg sandwiches served on grilled ciabatta bread. Breakfast lovers will also be thrilled to know that Aunty Em's Kitchen has expanded their weekend breakfast hours until 3 p.m. Yay!
Pros: Great food, cozy atmosphere
Cons: parking is scarce, waiting on line
