Locally roasted coffee from Drew’s Brews gushes into mugs at Sky Blue Cafe, where the menu’s stuffed-french-toast pancakes tout an award for Best Stand-Alone Brunch Item from Nashville Scene. Doused in syrup and peppered with powdered sugar, a fluffy pancake encircles a french-toast nucleus stuffed with banana and Nutella or hearty servings of eggs, cheese, and bacon ($6–$8). Honey oozes over homemade granola served with yogurt and fresh fruit ($7), pairing with a sextet of three-egg omelets ($7–$9) that help to unfurl heavy eyelids without sprinkling them in smelling salts. Prepared in-house, Sky Blue Cafe’s soups sail across counters in cups ($4) or bowls ($5), beckoning the hummus-smothered Beastwich sandwich ($9) to plunge a panoply of bacon, spinach, and colby jack cheese into its hot, bubbling depths. Live music and clicks from the servers' sonar occasionally echo across Sky Blue Cafe’s intimate dining room, where patrons can sip on robust red and white wines plucked from wineries in California, Washington, and Italy.
