& Cheese ATL

& Cheese is an Atlanta-based eatery specializing in sourdough gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. It is located in the top level of Lenox Mall closest to Bloomingdale's. & Cheese is clean, bright, and comfort-chic. I love the tabletops with maps showcasing popular metro-Atlanta neighborhoods. Customer service was solid. Food and beverage always comes out in a reasonable timeframe.I ordered The Vinings (Smoked gouda and munster, lobster mac & cheese), The Little 5 Points (Seasoned sourdough, pepperoni jack, aged white cheddar, swiss cheese, gruyere, spicy pickles, honey), tomato soup, and banana pudding cheesecake, and pineapple ginger lemonade. During a prior visit, I have also enjoyed the Ormewood (Seasoned sourdough, vegan sausage, collard greens, vegan cheese blend, balsamic glaze, caramelized onions, portobello mushrooms). & Cheese truly elevates the humble grilled cheese sandwich. Every sandwich is pressed and dressed in front of you and they do not skimp on the cheese! I don't think you could go wrong with any of the sandwiches - it's more a preference of which sandwich excites your taste buds more. My favorite sandwich so far is the Little 5 Points. It is advertised as a play on sweet and spicy, but I think it's more of a take on sweet and tangy. The hint of spice in the pepperoni jack and pickles really balances the honey finishing drizzle.& Cheese is known for its gourmet sandwiches. However, I actually visit for the soup, which I personally think is one of the best in Atlanta, and their desserts. The soup is not chunky and is flavorful. I would recommend buying the large; the small is rather small and I love having soup to take to work for lunch. I also love the notion of dessert in a jar, and their cheesecakes (strawberry crack, banana pudding, and peach cobbler) are really good.My general rule of thumb is that you should order juices in label-less containers. The pineapple ginger lemonade has a good sweetness level and just enough ginger not to overwhelm the pineapple.

Hey Family ! It's Bailey again ! Today I wanted to try something that's been on my list for a couple years now. I should have BEEN came here. The best tomato basil soup AND grilled cheese sandwiches I ever had IN MY LIFE. The lobster one was seasoned to perfection and the midtown with corn beef was by far my favorite of the two and if you get that add caramelized onions like I did ! Great service and a peaceful and clean environment to get yourself a unique craft of a grilled cheese sandwich. 10/10 experience for myself !

& Cheese is a very cool concept. I love a good grilled cheese, but would've never thought of the different combinations that & Cheese Atl provides. We ordered the Ormewood (vegan), ATL, and the Beltline. The sandwiches were really good! They each come with a bowl of tomato soup (a little on the spicy side). The restaurant gives a nice cafe feel, and service is pretty fast.

This is a simple and nice concept. The menu is board enough to have variety yet small enough to not feel overwhelmed. I loved the tables with all the different parts of Atlanta. Super cute. I had the ATL. It has Aged White Cheddar , Gruyère, Swiss Cheese , Gouda , Mac & Cheese , Collard Greens , Cornbread, Cup of Tomato Basil Soup. And it works! The cup of soup is the perfect compliment. I really wanted to try the pineapple ginger lemonade but it was freshly made and hot at the time. I was disappointed that they did not carry ice. Just felt a little strange for a restaurant. I missed out on trying a dessert but my sister with me says they are great. It was a tad hot in the spot but they did have fans so that helped. All in all, I will go back. Especially to try the lemonade and dessert.

I ordered the ATL which consisted of collard greens, mac and cheese and cornbread. It was really good and very filling. The soup was DELICIOUS! My only complaint is the cup was too small, it should at least be double that size. Overall, the hour drive was well worth it and I will definitely return.

The food was good. The ambience was really nice especially since it's located in a mall. Only down side was the wait time and how unorganized they were. They lacked communication with each other( only my observation). If they called out orders, and listened to one another i think it would've been a smoother experience.outside of it being very warm(probably due to the panini irons going nonstop) the food was delicious and the naming of Atlanta areas used for the sandwiches was cool. I won't go out of my way to visit again but if in the area i will definitely go back again to see if there's any change and to enjoy another grilled cheese.

Have always wanted to try this spot but haven't til now! Came here with my partner and we split 1 full sandwich - the Grant Park! It was pretty good, didn't take too long to come out, and I appreciate that each sandwich is made fresh to order. Probably won't be back but really glad we went!

The place is located in Lenox Mall and has a cute setup. It's very spacious to be in the mall. A friend and I were walking past it and decided to drop in. I didn't care for the sandwich I got because of the Mac and Cheese on it. The soup was yummy! However, it felt like I spent a lot on a little bit of food. I would try something different the next time I visit because the staff is friendly and they do have a good menu.

This is my second time coming to this place, and something is up with the soup! lol I'm just wondering, how hard can it be to upkeep soup? I personally really enjoy dipping classic grilled cheese with tomato soup.. I'd assume the sandwiches they put together would be great for dipping. The first time they said they were out of soup, I didn't waste time trying. Despite there being no soup I wanted to try them out this time. They were out of other things as well.. . The design is very clean and chic, I also enjoy the aroma. If you get a full sandwich beware, it can be heavy lol I should've gotten a half. Great for someone who can handle a full, for good value.I got the Atlanta.. I think that's what it was called. It included greens, cheese, Mac & cheese, and cornbread. The cornbread was sweet! The Mac was a bit much, but I should've expected that. The service is eh. The cashier who is young lady doesn't seem to be enthused to be there. There's a gentleman with dreads, hair all out, hat titled... Management needs to do better. This place seems to have a lot of potential! I'd like to give this place another try. Hopefully I can catch them when they have soup :)

Oof. Service here was horrible. The servers could not keep the orders straight and when I complained, they questioned if I actually ordered anything.
