Henny Penny Art Space & Cafe — Restaurant in Savannah

It's always really nice to find kid friendly establishments that allow for kids to enjoy themselves.

This was one of the last breakfasts we had during our stay in Savannah. I tried their breakfast sandwich and my friend tried the pesto panini. Both were phenomenal & really delicious. My daughter got the grilled cheese & she loved it. Drink wise, everything was delicious.

My favorite part was the art area for the kids. There are a few tables you can sit in & let your little one enjoy art while you sip your drink. Prices ranged from $5 - $8 dollars & the amount of things you can do was really nice. Kids can paint, glue, sticker, etc as much as they want. The girl in the back will help dry it & provide support if needed.

The walls had books for reading & there is a bathroom next to the art area that has lots of paint brushes drying. Its well loved & used.

My recommendation is if you have a large party, send only 1-2 people inside & have the others wait outside in the seating area or there's also seating inside if you can snag a spot.

Lastly, the location of the shop is prime. It is simply gorgeous! Highly recommend you just sit in one of the outdoor seating or windows to just people watch & listen to the bell. There is a square next to you as well that you can sit to eat if they run out of seating.

Overall, visit the location. Maybe get the food to go for prime time & enjoy the beauty...

My son and I have a ritual of coming here every Saturday morning before the farmers market at Forsyth. The drinks (especially the coffee) are top notch, as are the baked goods (and they even have some salads) and especially if you have kids, it's the perfect place to bring them. They can stay busy doing great art projects while you chat it up with a friend or just do some art alongside your kids! They also have a great collection of storybooks, a play kitchen for toddlers, free crayons and colored pencils to use, and a special painting/craft project you can set your kids up with, so there's always something to keep the little ones busy. For all you parents who hate taking your kids to restaurants/coffee shops? This is the answer to all your problems. I also notice that even people without kids seem to enjoy hanging out there. But because of the kid-oriented stuff, you don't have to feel self-conscious about bringing the little ones here. The staff is also super friendly, and half of them have even learned my name! My understanding is that the owners are locals who do a lot to support the health of the community and that neighborhood in particular. Henny Penny is owned by the same folks who own/operate Foxy Loxy and Coffee Fox -- and all three three places feature the same...

i spent 2 years of my life as a barista, and the nature of espresso is this: you can make the same drink the same way 500 times, and for reasons beyond human comprehension, 1 out of those 500 will be bad. today, I was unfortunate enough to get the bad drink. no hard feelings, it just happens.

but I informed the worker at the counter that the drink tasted bad, and the man making the coffee, an older white guy, immediately began to give me hostility. he asked me what I ordered, I replied that I got a café con Leche with skim & a little bit of extra simple syrup. he replied, "oh, you wanted it extra sweet?" to which I said "yes, a little bit." he remade the drink and handed it to me without saying anything and left immediately. I see why! the second drink was unbearably sweet, presumably out of spite? way beyond what anyone would assume is desired when asked for "a little bit of extra simple syrup." honestly upsetting to be treated like that when I just wanted the cup of coffee that I've had there many times before.

I leave 2 stars instead of 1 because I have found everyone else who works there to be lovely, and my other experiences at this café have been very nice. as much as my partner enjoys the food here, we're likely going to pivot back to Foxy Loxy to avoid malicious...
