At Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit on Upper King, the day begins with flour on the counter and butter in the air. Dough is cut by hand, layered for tenderness, then brushed so it bakes up bronzed and flaky. You watch it all happen right behind the counter.
The space is small, lively, and full of chatter that matches the clatter of trays. Order moves quickly, but no one rushes you. Grab a box, a coffee, and a napkin or three, because the best bites are always a little messy and very worth it.
