You can balance out the spice level by ordering one of the refreshing aguas frescas to wash it all down or, on the contrary, spice it up even more by trading out the traditional mimosa with a fiery michelada or a tequila-infused Bloody Maria. 12 of 14 Callie's Hot Little Biscuit Callie's Hot Little Biscuit View Map Address 1004 Virginia Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30306, USA Get directions Phone +1 404-330-8285 Web Visit website You can pick up one of Callie's famous biscuits seven days a week at their restaurant on the busy corner of Virginia and Highland avenues.
