Ah, Savannah! A city where the Spanish moss drapes as elegantly as a Southern belle's shawl and the cobblestone streets tell tales older than your grandma's secret biscuit recipe. But let's spill the beans—or should I say, grind them—because today we're talking about the magic elixir of life: coffee. And not just any coffee, but the brews that beckon from the quaint corners of Savannah, just a stone's throw from your luxurious Starland Stay.
Imagine this: you wake up in a plush bed as sunlight dances through shutters. You're in one of our Starland Stays vacation homes, and what's the first thing on your mind? If you're anything like me, it's caffeine. But not to fret, my java-loving friends, because Savannah is brimming with coffee shops that'll make your heart beat faster than a squirrel after a double espresso.
Now that you've seen where you can get your fix let's dive into what makes these spots special. And trust me, they're more unique than Aunt Mabel's hat collection.
Every sip in Savannah comes with a side of history. Take the corner café that was once a 19th-century apothecary—now serving lattes instead of lotions. Or how about that riverside roastery where ships once docked during the cotton boom? These beans aren't just roasted; they're steeped in stories.
If you're keen on savoring both joe and tales of yore, you'll want to bookmark these spots for your next stroll through history.
You can't talk about coffee without its faithful companion—food. In Savannah, we take our pairing seriously. Think flaky pastries fresh out of ovens that could qualify for Social Security benefits or avocado toasts so pretty they deserve their own Instagram accounts. Here, every cup comes with a potential new favorite treat.
All-purpose flour
Baking powder
Salt
Unsalted butter, cold
Shortening, cold
ButtermilkFor best results, use cold ingredients to help achieve flaky layers. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using.
Sure, we might not have invented coffee (though I'm still waiting for proof), but we sure know how to serve it up with style—and biscuits.
