Atlanta’s Upper Westside is about to get a serious breakfast upgrade. James Beard Award–winning chef Anne Quatrano, the force behind Bacchanalia and Star Provisions, is opening Summerland, a breakfast-and-lunch restaurant and bakery, inside the new Upper West Market. The project will zero in on pastries, coffee and all-day breakfast plates, all aiming for a Michelin-level standard, with a public opening set for Thursday, August 27, 2026.

According to the Atlanta Business Chronicle, Summerland will serve breakfast, lunch, pastries and coffee as part of the market’s vendor lineup. The Chronicle’s July 10 report lists the August 27 opening date and credits Quatrano as the driving force behind the concept.

Where Summerland Will Live

Summerland is slated to fill roughly 3,800 to 4,000 square feet inside Upper West Market at 1385 Collier Road NW in the Underwood Hills area, according to Upper West Market. The indoor market is positioning itself as a year-round hub for local purveyors, with a Hop City wine bar, vendor stalls and event space alongside full-service restaurant tenants. In other words, this is not your average food court.

Menu And Format

Quatrano has framed Summerland as an upscale daytime spot that still keeps things approachable, with a pastry counter and coffee bar ready for quick to-go orders. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported potential menu items such as grain bowls, a seedy-rye toast with labneh and smoked Georgia trout, chicken schnitzel with boiled peanuts, and a savory Dutch baby paired with roasted New York strip. The operation is expected to blend table service and counter service, a hybrid setup meant to handle both grab-and-go breakfasts and linger-over-lunch crowds.

Quatrano's Track Record

Quatrano arrives with serious local clout. Her fine-dining flagship Bacchanalia has been recognized by the Michelin Guide, and she also runs market-focused Star Provisions, according to Eater Atlanta. Those reports also highlight her longstanding connection to Summerland Farm in Cartersville, which supplies many of her menus and helps explain her push for high-caliber daytime cooking. For Upper West Market, that is a pretty strong calling card.

What It Means For The Neighborhood

Summerland’s arrival at Upper West Market is part of a broader wave of openings tied to the market’s debut and other nearby projects this summer. Local outlets tracking Atlanta restaurant news have flagged Summerland as one of the season’s anticipated launches, including Rough Draft Atlanta and a Hoodline report on how Hop City turns old boiler room into Upper West bar. The combination of a high-profile chef and an all-season, locally focused market could help turn this corner of Underwood Hills into more of a citywide destination, not just a neighborhood stop.

License Review Board agendas from March list Victual, Inc. d/b/a Summerland as the applicant for a restaurant license at 1385 Collier Road NW Suite 105, signaling that city approvals are in motion ahead of the late-August opening. Expect more details on menus, hours and reservations as Quatrano’s team gets closer to that August 27 debut.
