Sassafras is the kind of Highlands spot that earns regulars fast. Tucked on 32nd Avenue, it serves elevated American comfort food with a brunch program that consistently draws lines for good reason. Think fluffy biscuits, creative egg dishes, and a menu that actually has something for everyone without feeling scattered. The space feels warm and lived-in, not trying too hard. Service tends to be personal. It works equally well for a slow Sunday morning with coffee or a casual weeknight dinner when you want something satisfying but not heavy. The price point is honest for what you get. Neighbors love it. Out-of-towners discover it and put it on the return list. If you live in or near Highlands, this one becomes part of your rotation.
