Down the Street Eats: Thomas Square

Thomas Square is an area known for its beautiful Victorian homes, diverse population of residents, and delicious epicurean fare. The Bull St. Library anchors this neighborhood where SCAD students and local families mingle between the galleries of Starland and DeSoto Row all the way north to the green fields of Forsyth Park. One of the best characteristics about this area is the variety of cafes, coffee shops, and bakeries peppered along Bull Street.

Back in the Day Bakery, Paula Deen’s favorite, is the go to spot for fresh and homemade baked goods.  From artisan bread sandwiches to cookies, bread pudding to cupcakes, everything that Cheryl and Griffith Day cook up is pure comfort and joy!  Their cookbook which just came out this month, is selling like hotcakes.

Butterhead Greens
diligently serves SCAD students between classes, and is a lovely, quiet lunch spot for nearby residents when class is in session.  The chefs pack upscale concepts into healthy, casual, and affordable food.  An ever changing menu provides relief from the ho-hum, been there done that, “what do I eat for lunch” blues.
Foxy Loxy CafĂ© is everyone’s new favorite spot to meet and eat.  Their menu is minimal making it ideal for a light snack.  They have an extensive offering of beverages including coffee, wine, and craft brews.  Sit back and take in the sights of their rotating gallery while you catch up with your friends over some delish Tex-Mex treats.

Local 11 Ten
is properly placed at the end of Forsyth Park in what used to be a 1950’s bank.  If you’re looking for smart design, local ingredients, and impeccable service this is your oasis.  Just above the restaurant is the rooftop bar, Perch, nestled nicely beneath the limbs of Savannah oak trees.
