The Collins Quarter
Savannah, Ga.
Australian cafe culture in the Deep South.
Forget four-martini lunches; coffee is the fuel of business deals today—and the Collins Quarter, a homey incarnation of Australia’s café culture, is the place to enjoy it in Savannah. There are six kinds of espresso, a Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk, French press, Brooklyn drip, an affogato, a matcha latte—and more. Opened by Anthony Debreceny, an Aussie, the Collins Quarter also offers a menu of Southern comfort via his home country, from “swine time beni”—brioche French toast topped with pulled pork, tomato, poached egg, Hollandaise and bacon—to “biscuits gone wild”—house-made buttermilk biscuits with apple-raisin-chicken sausage, smoked bacon gravy, fennel-apple slaw and poached egg. And when locals just need a jolt of caffeine to get through the day, they visit the Collins Quarter’s coffee window for a fix.
