illy Caffé

★★★★☆ 3.8 (34)

"Cute little cafe spot with good coffee and sweets! They have illy crema which is hands down the best thing ever. Service was quick from what I saw."

Caffe Antico

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (89)

"Caffe Antico is the gelateria (gelato shop) and pasticceria (pastry shop) located in Westside Atlanta's Little Italia. Caffe Antico isn't to be confused with Caffe Gio, also located in Little Italia. I don't know if Caffe Gio actually still exists in any official capacity. I happened to be the first to review it on Yelp 10 years ago (2013): https://www.yelp.com/biz/caffé-gio-atlanta-2?hrid=0Y5uUatRgBEm1t1iH50Bzg&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct).Concepts and brands have popped up (e.g., Gio's Sicilian: https://www.yelp.com/biz/gios-sicilian-pizza-shop-atlanta) and come and gone in this mini Italian empire. It was started by Antico Pizza owner Giovanni Di Palma and his older brother Giuseppe. It goes without saying that Antico is the heart of Little Italia, followed by Gio's Chicken Amalfitano. Antico opened in 2009: https://www.yelp.com/biz/antico-pizza-atlanta. Gio's Chicken opened in 2012: https://www.yelp.com/biz/gios-chicken-amalfitano-atlanta. Having lived in this area since 2000, it's been interesting for me to see how Little Italia has steadily expanded into multiple spaces and buildings near Hemphill and Ethel in Home Park, close to Georgia Tech and Atlantic Station.The way I see it is that Caffe Antico is the successor to Caffe Gio. Unlike Caffe Gio, which was located on the backside of Gio's Chicken, Caffe Antico is located across Ethel Street in an old home that's been renovated to house not only Caffe Antico, but Bar Amalfi: https://www.yelp.com/biz/bar-amalfi-atlanta. Bar Amalfi is open in the evenings seasonally. Caffe Antico is open year-round. One thing I like about Caffe Antico, Bar Amalfi, and Little Italia in general is the "authentic" Italian atmosphere that the Di Palmas have been able to create. It feels a little like Italy. Also, it doesn't scream gentrification like, say, The Interlock and Star Metals a couple blocks away. The growth/expansion has been organic and they've been able to integrate nicely into the neighborhood. When the weather is nice, the patio at Caffe Antico and Bar Amalfi is pleasant and enjoyable to sit on and hang out at. You can even bring your Antico Pizza and Gio Chicken's here to eat if you want (good pro tip if the dine-in spaces there are busy/full).I've tried most of Caffe Antico's gelato flavors and they're all delicious to me. During our last visit, they had about a dozen or so different flavors of gelato and sorbet including chocolate, cookies and cream, strawberry, espresso, chocolate chip, mint chocolate chip, hazelnut, salted caramel, pistachio, and vanilla. They also had an assortment of Italian pies, cakes, and desserts, plus various cannoli ($3.50 each) and refrigerated grab-and-go refreshments. The gelato ranged in price from $5-7 before tax and tip for a scoop, half and half, or a special three-flavor combo. All gelato is served with a wafer/cookie. Service has always been good.Free parking is available on Ethel Street plus in various paved and gravel lots around the three buildings of Little Italia."

Leo's Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (212)

"Overall a great experience. Nobody's meal was messed up. 1/2 hot Chocolate 1/2 coffee was good. NextTime we are in ATL we know this place is good for breakfast"

TwoHa's Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (167) • $$

"TwoHa's Café is a great spot for any occasion. My family and I often enjoy it for an after dinner dessert spot, but will often see people studying or hanging out with friends. I highly recommend their croffles with strawberry and Nutella as well as their yogurt drinks. Everything is good to share, reasonably priced and delicious!!"

Corner Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.7 (35)

"Oldie but goodie wing spot on the south side! Corner Cafe has been around as long as I can remember. It's located in Union City, GA and dates back to my Shannon Mall days... Let me say that if you're looking for an upscale sports bar, this "ain't" it. But if you're looking for some more than solid wings and all around good food, this "is" it! Be sure to come with patience because the service can sometimes be spotty. Just order some food and sit down...lol. Whenever I'm in the area this is my go to spot for food. Wish they had more locations."

Proscenium Cafe and Market

★★★★☆ 4.2 (14) • $

"Friendly owner / manager / employees, quick service, great convenient menu options - delicious breakfast!I have only been here for breakfast, but the service is quick and the owner/manager is very welcoming. I order their Western omelette with bacon. And it is hearty, delicious, comes out in a few minutes, and inexpensive!The cafe also has some convenient food and snacks, and looks like they have a varied lunch menu."

Crema Espresso Gourmet

★★★★☆ 4.3 (377) • $$

"The tarts (fruit and apple) are good here. I enjoyed the chia pudding. I do not recommend the chai latte. The chai flavors are barely there and it was somehow way too sweet. Honey latte was much better."

Cafe Momo

★★★★☆ 3.8 (97)

"Buffet styled and only at $9 per lbs!*** Breakfast time is the BEST time!!! *** Easy picks from American to Asian NOT BAD ALL.Only thing I will stay away from will be rolls (not tasteful at all)"

The Nest Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (68) • $$

"I love their original location in downtown Alpharetta right near Main Street, and this location in Crabapple is just as great. Stopped in the other morning post-pilates class and it was a wonderful addition to my weekend!I went for my usual grilled chicken caesar wrap with a side of their waffle fries (sometimes I go for the tater tots because those are also crispy & delicious). I also ordered a latte (picture attached), which hit just right and warmed me right up. The Nest Cafe is designed so you order at the register and then you are given a number to bring to a table of your choosing. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, and it can fill up pretty quickly indoors (especially these winter months), but from my own experience, the tables seem to flip quickly and people are respectful not to linger too long if there are others waiting for a table. They have a pretty expansive menu for a cafe, and they even offer gelato for dessert. Their tree of life smoothie is absolutely delicious and another personal favorite, and I still plan to try their matcha and chai latte."

Café Vendôme

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (70)

"Transported back to Paris via Sandy Springs!I love nothing more than a hot cappuccino, a comfy place to set up my "work from wherever" station, and some pretty decor to enjoy the ambiance, and that's exactly what I always enjoy here at Cafe Vendome. I'm so easily distracted, it's so vital to find public workspaces that allow me to focus and be at peace without numerous distractions and love that I now have a spot to enjoy that. I was introduced to this super cute cafe by my wonderful coworker and each visit reminds me of why it's a fave of hers, and now mine! With an extensive menu that includes all sorts of caffeine imaginable and the most delicious looking pastries - everrrr. Omg, eclairs covered in rich chocolate, macarons in the colors of an Easter rainbow, and omg, the breads! I know that the super sweet cashier is so sick of hearing me ask about the pastries, see me practically drooling over the POS system but never buying any. LOL! I'm not usually a sweets girl and have usually eaten lunch by then but I SWEAR I'm going to get one next time! (To the wonderful team member who usually rings me up, I promise, sis!!)Speaking of the team, the customer service is so wonderful here and orders are quick yet fresh. You order your coffee and minutes later, they're bringing over your hot cafecito to your table with a smile! Also, whoever is controlling the music is a friend of mine. Sade, Michael Buble, and Toni Braxton? Cafe Vendome, you are a gem."

Inman Perk

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (383)

"Stopped by for a coffee fix and was pretty disappointed. First of all, it was super stuffy inside, uncomfortably so. I ordered an iced latte with almond milk. To get non-dairy milk was, I believe, a dollar more... it might have been more. I was quite appalled by that. I'm not doing it for the lifestyle, I do it because I'm lactose intolerant, I shouldn't have to pay $1 more. Extremely overpriced and the size of the latte wasn't large at all.Sadly, the iced latte wasn't even that good. Wouldn't recommend."

Confections Bakery & Cafe

★★★★☆ 4 (46)

"Parking can be a difficult because it's a pretty busy plaza in general even with a bunch of spaces but it's probably much better on weekdays during more "off hours". The space is bigger than I thought it would be, gives off a European feel with the type of tables and chairs they have set up. I've only been on weekends and it's always been super busy with people. I think most Korean/asian type bakeries have increased prices for their goods now. Also, not sure when the best time to go is because it's a hit or miss for what they have out and available. I'm assuming first thing in the morning is best? I've been in during earlier afternoons and have been disappointed that not everything was there. What really drew me here was that they have salt bread! Had it in Korea and fell in love. Such a simple thing, but there's something about it that makes me want to keep eating it. Also tried their Oreo croissant, the filling was DELICIOUS. The croissant was a big soggy but still good. Would recommend both!"

The Town House Cafe

★★★★★ 4.6 (59) • $

"Adorable place set back in time. I had this place on my list for a while and I decided to go there for lunch. I found out that they close at 4pm and it was almost 3pm. Luckily I still had time to get a bite. They even took someone in for a sit down meal around 3:45pm. I noticed they do alot of take out orders as well. I had a bacon Cheeseburger deluxe and a sweet tea and all was delicious. The restaurant is offset from the town center but still in it so the views are limited. This allows for exploring the town center before or after eating. I think the place is family run and the service is great, I plan to go back and try more dishes."

Carolyn's Gourmet Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (63)

"I cannot say enough good things about Carolyn's food or customer service and I have ordered from them at least 20 times to feed a group of 20+.We have run the gamut on their menu having everything from burgers and chicken, pasta and salad (the vegetarian lasagna is FULL of veggies), sandwich wraps (the ones on the appetizer menu are awesome!), BBQ, wings, quesadillas, potato bar, and even breakfast. Add to that the largest selection of sides that I can put my hands on: chicken salad (that is awesome as a side or a meal), potato salad, and dips galore - I even did a dip day for the masses and they loved it. I've never had anything that wasn't above average other than the mac and cheese didn't go over so well.Their customers service puts it over the top as well. The catering manager, Mark, is a gem to work with; so pleasant and accommodating to start with, much less my questions/ needs for vegetarians and gluten-free options. The people who deliver have a smile on their face from entry through set up.I order from them weekly and never have a singly worry that it will be hot, on time, and wonderful. If they can do that with catering and the time food is sitting before it gets to us, from the kitchen to your table is a breeze...give it a shot!"

Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee House

★★★★☆ 4.2 (473) • $

"Super cute place! They have a couch and plenty of tables. There's a wheelchair accessible entrance in the back, but you have to maneuver around a lot of corners to make it in. The staff was very kind. I got an iced coffee with white mocha syrup and cream and it was delicious. Very warm and welcoming place. I will definitely be back!"

"My friend and I purchased breakfast here before I visited the Atlanta Zoo on my own. There was one customer ahead of us. The interior is small but cozy. I ordered a gluten-free cheddar biscuit and a coconut brownie as well as a hot espresso beverage called the Bee Sting. Everything tasted super fresh and delicious! I would definitely recommend this location. It's literally across the street from the zoo entrance. They have outdoor seating. The customer service is excellent."

Foxtail Coffee - Atlanta

★★★★★ 4.7 (48)

"This has got to be the best coffee shop in Buckhead. I'm so thankful they were open on the 4th of July. My son and I were staying in the area and had run the Peachtree road race when we decided we'd swing into Foxtail before heading back to our hotel. I love everything about this spot. I had an iced oat butterscotch latte and a slice of banana bread. My son had a double chocolate chip muffin and a cookie. Service was superb. Highly recommend if you're looking for an outstanding coffee option with yummy pastries. If I lived here, this would be my everyday coffee shop. If you live here, it should be yours!"

The Coffee House

★★★★☆ 4.3 (4)

"There's nothing you can't find here, it's a cafe, convenience store, and even a little fashion boutique all in one space. Their coffee beverages are excellent - definitely on par with Starbucks, in fact I do believe the majority of their brews are Starbucks,The staff is always on it and their knowledge/memory of regular orders astounds me! The Coffee House is a great place to get your coffee fix. It's located on the lobby level of the 2002 building in the Perimeter Summit office park and it's open to the public!"

Never Enough Thyme

★★★★☆ 3.9 (93) • $$

"My sister & her husband took my husband and I here while we were visiting Alpharetta and I fell in love with this spot!!There are soooo many awesome options on their menu! I truly could have had anything on their menu and would have been satisfied. From the salads and bowls to the sandwiches and full entrees - I'll definitely have to come back to try more!This time around, I got the Gourmet Grilled Chicken on focaccia - and YUM. The presentation was great and the sandwich was so flavorful - and that focaccia was on another level!Can't wait to come back here next time I'm in town!"

I need more of that agnolotti (I don't even really like pasta, personal preference) but it was so creamy and the stuffed noodle was so balanced in flavor and texture. the sweet potatoes are second to none. what a simple side dish but the cheese and the way they fried the sweet potato was absolutely perfection. I also don't ever order pork chops because I've found that most restaurants don't do it justice. I'm a rib eye girl- I like fatty, chewy, soft cuts of meat (basically I'm lazy and don't want to chew my food haha). not only was the pork chop not dry or tough, the glaze wasn't too thick and goopy. the pork flavor shined beautifully through the spices. I'm thoroughly impressed with the quality and flavor of food. S E R V I C E ariella was fantastic. at one point, we had requested to move tables due to another guest to the next table over, was very loud and her voice was high pitched (I loved that she was so excited but due to my medical, I can't tolerate it). ariella asked the host then was quick and discreet to move us; no questions asked.

Sandy Springs Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.5 (11)

"I was working on the 8th floor of the same building and it was great that I could eat lunch here without having to leave the premises. Wed special was bibimbop and the nice Korean lady recommended it. She spoke Korean too me and even gave me a discount and a free fountain drink. She was a doll. All the food here seem very fresh. The bibimbop wasn't super authentic (even the Korean lady told me that it's bit fusionized), but it was still very tasty. There was generous portion of toppings, including chicken. Anytime I am working in this building. I'll be sure to stop here for lunch and practice my Korean."

Lov'n It Live

★★★★☆ 4 (162) • $$

"I've only had the "quesadilla" but man... it's so good! The service is pleasant but honestly, you'll spend years of your life waiting for them to finish "cooking" your food.My online order was supposed to be ready at 2:30. I got there at 2:45ish based on past experience and didn't get it til about 3.Mind you, no one else was in the restaurant.If they respected the concept of time, they'd absolutely be a 5, but the lackadaisical approach tops out at a 4ish for me."

Café Vendôme

★★★★☆ 3.9 (290) • $$

"Basically we go to this Cafe 2-3 times a month. Normally on weekends.Main point. Their Pastry Chef is French. Should I say more...? She is Outstanding, and the reason we go so often.To many great pastries to name.The bread reminds me of what we ate when we lived in Europe.The food is just as good. Authentic, fresh, and delicious.The facility, the service, and the food is five stars all day.Highly recommend"

Sweet Cheats

★★★★☆ 4.2 (265) • $

"One of my best girls gave me a couple of cake pops from Sweet Cheats when she came into town from Atlanta. They were yummy!Can't comment on service or atmosphere, but friend tells me this is her favorite bakery in the neighborhood.The cake pops were beautifully decorated, with swirls of chocolate and spatters of color. The inside cake was moist and very chocolate-y. The chocolate coating wasn't waxy or any of the usual problems you encounter with that kinda stuff, either, so that was great!I look forward to stopping by when I go to visit in the future! I love single serving desserts and these were really solid. :)"

Urban Grind

★★★★☆ 4 (231) • $

"Such a great spot to work!I ventured out of my apartment recently on the hunt for a nice spot to work at for a few hours and stumbled upon Urban Grind on Yelp. Black-owned and operated, this cozy spot is definitely a new favorite of mine. Upon arrival, I was so lucky to grab a parking spot right outside of the cafe for an hourly fee. When I entered, there were already a number of patrons inside but it was cozy and quiet, perfect for a morning of tasks. I grabbed a hightop seat in the corner that offered an outlet right under the table, really allowing me to get plugged in and settled. When I went to the counter, the barista was such a sweetheart. We chatted a bit and she made her recommendations, leading me to order 3 coffees that morning! All were delicious and made just right. When ordering, there was another woman behind the counter and she just *looked* like she knew what she was doing lol. I asked her if she was one of the owners and she was. It's always great to see owners and managers working hard alongside their team! She gave me some breakfast recommendations and all of them sounded delicious but I ended up going with a croissant breakfast sandwich. Stellar choice. The sandwich was hot, cheesey, the croissant was so flaky and soft - wow. I tore that thing UP. I ended up sitting and working for about 5 hours in the shop with no disruptions. I didn't feel rushed out and the barista checked on me every so often to see if I needed anything. Overall, a fantastic experience and I can't wait to return for another day of coffee and work!"

Peachy Corners Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (63) • $

"I came here after a morning errand. Trying to find a spot that is open at 7 AM, I came across this nice little spot. And to be even more surprised was that this place serves boba at 7 AM. That's pretty unusual, but super welcome when there's no boba spots open anywhere. Of course I didn't get that though. I got a simple iced latte.The latte was alright. Nothing crazy. And it was exactly what you think it was, especially at that hour. There was one person that was working. There was something I did see that caught my eye, but it could have only been limited on my visit. There were fruit flies flying around in container where they stored the muffins, but luckily I didn't order any muffins. The person cleaned it out, but I think stored the muffins back in there? So I was a bit iffy about that.I don't think I would come here to get boba, as there are so many other places to get it. I just don't find that this place really specialized in boba, rather they specialized in coffees/cafe. I could see it could be pretty good, but I just didn't get those vibes. The vibe I got from this place was leaning more on the coffee side, but maybe I'm wrong. Peachy Corners Cafe isn't bad. I would definitely stick to just the drinks, and stay away from the food options. They do have like ramen, but other than that, it's pretty normal as far as what you would find in any other type of cafe."

EAV Cafe

★★★★★ 5 (9)

"The menu is small but mighty. Exquisite attention to the coffee -- the source, the roast, the prep. I had the grilled 4-cheese with egg -- yum! Perfectly browned Texas toast (I think?), well-cooked egg, and generous cheese. The DH had a bacon egg cheese sandwich, the bacon was cooked crispy and hanging out the edges with great temptation. They don't even have a sign yet, but go! They are just getting started, look for great things to happen as they get it going."

"Phase 1 seems cool, but phase 2 was a vibe! Drinks and service were top notch. It was dark and chill, you can dress casual! Honestly, what I liked the most was the tv screens matching the dj.

Tasty Bakery Cafe

★★★★★ 4.7 (80)

"We tried Tasty Bakery Cafe tonight for dinner. There were several unique options. We split a corn and cheese rissole - it was very good! I got the cheeseburger with fries. My husband got the chicken pastel. We both enjoyed our food. While the burger was not the best I've ever had, it had a good flavor. The fries were delicious. The pastel had a lot of extra pastry to it. We did splurge and try a piece of the peanut butter cake - definitely worth it!Overall, we had an enjoyable experience at a very reasonable price. The atmosphere was relaxed and we had fun sitting and chatting with our friends."

Yummies Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (92)

"I was passing by Atlanta and visit a friend that wants to go for lunch. I look for near restaurants and choose Yummies, i have to say that it didn't dissapoint!! The place is very simple in terms of decoration but if you are looking for good food ,this is the place for you. Everybody was super nice and the food was super tasty and perfect! The chicken was fully cooked and crunchy, just the way it should be. We where.all very happy for our decision to try a new place.Estaba pasando por Atlanta y visité a un amigo que queria ir a almorzar. Busque restaurantes cercanos y elijo Yummies, ¡tengo que decir que no me decepcionó! El lugar es muy sencillo en cuanto a decoración pero si buscas buena comida, este es el lugar para ti. ¡Todos fueron súper amables y la comida súper sabrosa y perfecta! El pollo estaba completamente cocido y crujiente, tal como debería estar. Estábamos todos muy contentos por nuestra decisión de probar un nuevo lugar."

"Came here on their 3rd day open. The opening of this coffee shop has been much anticipated by the neighborhood, and it did not disappoint.The staff and owners are so nice, Wi-Fi is high-speed which, along with its ample seating options across about 10 tables, 2 counters with chairs, and a large sofa, make Peoples Town Coffee a great spot for remote work.The espresso drinks are equally as impressive. Highly recommend:-Cortado-Maple Latte (not overly sweet like at some places!)"

Avondale Pizza Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.6 (183)

"Met up with my friend here for drinks and a quick meal as I'm passing through Atlanta. I wouldn't call it "New York pizza" but it's still good. And the service? Fabulous, friendly and attentive.After two hours of fighting Atlanta's world-class traffic to get here, I seriously couldn't think clearly enough to even place a drink order. I asked for a cocktail, something sweet and a few minutes later, that's what I had. Something that could have been a Sea Breeze with sweet and sour that perfectly hit the spot.With a cold drink in hand, I was able to order a slice of pizza. The barbecue is loaded - almost overloaded - with chicken and sauteed onions and cheese and barbecue sauce. I'm glad I only got the one slice because this was a full meal all by itself.A neat little local watering hole and yes, they have more than just pizza.[Review 20140 overall - 656 in Georgia - 1116 of 2023.]"

First Watch

★★★★☆ 3.5 (154) • $$

"You can never go wrong with First Watch for breakfast! I visited prior to attending a summit on an early Monday morning. They open bight and early at 7 am. The restaurant offers both inside and outside dining options. The lemon ricotta pancakes were fluffy and zesty tasting. The million dollar potatoes were a winner! I could just eat an entire plate of them. The purple haze is such a refreshing beverage to chase down your meal. Parking options include free street parking, dedicated parking lot directly behind the restaurant, and parking garage across the street. Sarah was super sweet."
