GALLERY ESPRESSO
I will date myself in saying this place reminds me of the show Friends. Gallery Espresso is a usual stop for us when downtown. With SCAD students strewn about on the comfy sofas and chairs, funky decorated restrooms and a beatnik style, it should be on everyone's must see when in Savannah. Not only do they offer some of the best coffee in SAV, but it is also located on one of our favorite squares - Chippewa Square (known more commonly by tourists as the Forrest Gump Square. Y

Try an egg sandwich or something a little sweet like the sweet potato pound cake. Enjoy! #Breakfa
