Breakfast has long been considered “the most important meal of the day,” and in the South, it’s especially true. From fluffy biscuits to cast-iron casseroles, Southerners know how to do breakfast the right way. And in our minds, a proper breakfast wouldn’t be complete without a large cup of Community coffee.
Family owned for four generations, Community coffee is truly a Southern breakfast staple. Whether it’s alongside a quick weekday bite or an elaborate Sunday spread, Community coffee is always in our cups.
We reached out to our readers to ask them about their favorite breakfast traditions. Here is some of what they shared:
