I know this was Atlanta Ga., but I haven't found a lot of price difference between there and here especially in the "chain" restaurants. For me this is too pricey for breakfast.

And yes, certainly $22 each plus tip is out of range for many. We first found ABE on a trip to Charleston many years ago. Friends absolutely made us promise we WOULD go. We "almost" didn't, but it was right down in old part of time by the big markets, etc. so we went for brunch/lunch. Absolutely (to use) over the moon awesome, never had anything close except on trips to NOLA. NOT your average breakfast cafe. We had FRESH crab meat omelets, nearly a whole fresh avocado on top, authentic New Orleans beignets, exceptional coffee (not left on a warmer to get bitter), and so on. Cheap meal, no way, worth it, OH SO MUCH. Now that it has become a chain restaurant, I have noticed it is nothing like we experienced in Charleston. We eat there about every couple months (winter park village) when we make our Whole foods, Costco, Trader Joe's runs all in the same day. Food is still above average, but... definitely NOT the same as it once was. Will "hope" (lol, probably foolish "hope") the villages location will have outstanding food very worth the price, but .... kind of thinking, probably not !
