KD’s favorite coffee & breakfast sandwich, hands down…
“Part coffee bar, part breakfast sandwich shop, part sundries and butcher counter—this tiny Va-Hi shop has it all! Prior to opening Kinship, one of its partners worked for Atlanta’s revered Holeman & Finch Public House and Restaurant Eugene and trained in the kitchens of restaurants like Eleven Madison Park, Atera, and Aska in New York City. The other worked as a food writer and recipe editor for online travel and culture site New Worlder, before working as a sommelier. In addition to the classics, coffee drinks exceed the ordinary (and sometimes the imagination), and the huge, loaded sandwiches are no less than extraordinary.”
