Sun in My Belly

★★★★☆ 3.9 (1487) • $$

"Went for brunch. Sat inside and the space is big.The Bloody Mary is tasty. Chicken salad sandwich - needs more flavor. Sizable portion. Beet couscous with goat cheese- sounds amazing but the taste was rather flavorless"

Heirloom Market BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.4 (1990) • $$

"It has been 12 years since I last came to this place but the food is still good. The parking lot is still shared with a corner store. They have a patio now and do not let customers inside. They want you to use a QR code to place your order and pay. The patio does not have chairs.I ordered the pork rinds, brisket, korean pork BBQ, and mac and cheese. They gave me a lot of pork rinds for $4. The pork rinds are very crispy but lack flavor. The brisket is extremely good. The Korean pork BBQ is my favorite because it has the most flavor. Mac and cheese is very tasty."

Dominique's

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (25)

"We had an opportunity to visit Dominique's at Stonecrest this evening. We've been patiently awaiting the opening and once we seen the "open" signs from the freeway, we made our dinner choice right there.The restaurant is definitely a welcomed addition to the community, so I'd like to thank the ownership for investing in the area . Now on to the review, the staff was amazing, the ambience has won me over compared to the choices within a few exits on the interstate. She had the ribeye and creamy spinach and mashed potatoes, which was delicious. I had the Rasta pasta with grilled chicken which was equally amazing. We will definitely be back again to enjoy other dinner options. Great job Cache and Dominique's see you soon!"

Southern Custard

★★★★★ 4.7 (219) • $$

"This place is tucked in a ritzy shopping center and apartment complex with gratuitously sparse parking; several spots were designated specifically for short-term frozen custard parking. They offer vanilla and chocolate and one rotating flavor, which when I dropped in was a splendid salted caramel that delivered just the right hint of salt. They had the options for toppings and sundaes, but it was a bit strange that they didn't have a banana split or a greater flavor variety. Not much for those avoiding dairy or egg either. But it was tasty and a good price."

Momo Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (227) • $

"So good we ate here TWICE in one weekend. You could said we wanted mo mo ;) Okay... I'm done.A cute lil two-story cafe with both sweet & savory treats! I'm a big fan of Japanese-inspired anything including matcha drinks & desserts so this place was such a hit for me. Of course I got a matcha latte and my best friend tried out their Black Sesame latte. Both were great to warm us up on a chilly day. I can't remember exactly what bites we got but we definitely ordered off the brunch menu and also got a lil sweet treat to round out our bites here. All the food was so good but, of course, my phone had to eat first!"

Sweet Love Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (34)

"This is a super-popular bakery amongst Koreans in Duluth...probably since it's more Korean than American/European in style. Also, like most Mozart bakeries, this bakery is run by Korean ladies. During my visit, I noticed that there wasn't a single non-Korean in the bakery (and it was fairly full!).The bakery selection is the typical of many Korean/Asian bakeries...a HUGE selection of French-inspired pastry items. However, the decor is much more exotic...somewhat retro? Though somewhat aesthetically appealing on one hand, I didn't like how the place was hard to maneuver around...lotsa tight quarters. Also, I thought the place needed some music. I just remember hearing lotsa people speaking Korean (though in hushed tones)!I ended up trying 2 teeny-tiny mini pastries, with this Black Taro Milk Tea with Boba. As expected, everything was DEE-Lish!Did I mention that I'm addicted to Duluth for their heavenly Asian bakeries, just as much as the Asian restaurants??"

Sweet-Stack Creamery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (398) • $$

"NICE CREAM! A black owned ice cream shop right down the road from GSU. The whole street is what we like to call "resturant row" there is so many options all walking distance from one another. I promised my partner I would buy him ice cream and we decided on this business as it was fairly close to our hotel. Once we came inside we were told about their donut ice cream sandwich. Though that sounded delicious it also sounded like a LOT of food. We each got a scoop. My partner got praline and I got the Cuban coffee ice cream. We each got a different topping on top too. Don't get me wrong it was a good spot with flavorful cream. However, there was no seating inside. This is a need especially since a lot of tourists come around this area for food. I wasn't super impressed by this ice cream experience."

Sweet Charlie's

★★★★☆ 4.3 (124) • $$

"I've been here twice over the summer, with my most recent visit being last night, and must say that I was super pleased with not only the ice cream but also with the service I received. The staff are friendly and I like that they have no issues engaging with the customers and make it a point to answer any questions. There are a lot of options to choose from and you're able to customize your sweet treat with so many mix-ins ranging from fruit to candy to nuts. I loved watching them make the roll ice cream and the first time I went, one of the staff members explained how the process worked.While I thought I wanted to try a blaster (basically a milkshake) but I stuck with a regular cup of the vanilla ice cream and added Oreos and sprinkles because I just wanted a pop of color (plus sprinkles just make life so much better). The ice cream was sooo creamy and yummy and there was the perfect blend of Oreos. I was soooo happy and wished their was one closer to me because it's just that good! If you're lookin for some good ice cream, try Sweet Charlie's. You won't be disappointed!"

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!!"

Sugar Shane’s

★★★★★ 4.7 (102)

"A spoonful full of sugar makes the medicine go down. The medicine go down-wown .The medicine go down. In a most delightful way. These were my exact thoughts as I took the first bite of this Sugar Shane's chocolate chip cookie. My whole life's existence started to play out right before my eyes as to why I hadn't tried Sugar Shane's before now. These cookies were soooooo good, but at $4-$6 a cookie..come on now. Highway robbery, but how can you say no to your greedy gremlin?!!? I had to bite the bullet on this one. It's so much better than insomnia or Crumbl cookies, in my opinion. The ladies at the counter were so welcoming and pleasant. Even the customers that made a purchase before me were raving that Sugar Shane's were the truth. I'm definitely returning to try more cookies in their display."

Matcha Cafe Maiko

★★★★☆ 4.2 (180) • $$

"Hot summer days mean cooling down with some good soft-serve ice cream! If you're into matcha, this is it!AMBIANCE/SEATINGsmall and cozy shop with minimalistic wood seating areas. A seating area at the front with two tables requires patrons to take their shoes off. I love that this idea was incorporated into the shop. STAFFThere were about 3-4 staff members when I visited on a Sunday evening. They were friendly and quick.My review is solely for their soft-serve ice cream.* Ube* Mango* Vanilla * MatchaThe soft-serve ice creams are delicious. Especially the matcha (green tea) and Ube. These two have the most flavors. The mango tasted more like a sorbet to me, but it was still tasty. The vanilla is subtle but creamy. Matcha Cafe Maiko is a great ice cream shop to get something to cool down on these hot and humid summer days."

Kupcakerie Grant Park

★★★★★ 4.8 (27)

"Gotta love Kupcakerie!I've been planning on visiting the new Kupcakerie location for months and I was so happy when I finally got the chance a few weeks ago. I'm so used to the East Point location, I was excited to visit the new Grant Park location, especially when I saw all of the new parking spaces. So much room! First impressions were great as when you first drive up you see the super cute, pink Kupcakerie cupcake and name on the exterior. There was some seating outside on one visit (when it wasn't so rainy in ATL) and the string lights were an added bonus for the vibes. This space is also offered for events and I could definitely imagine a super cute soiree happening in this cute area. Upon entry, I loved seeing the super cute pink couch in the corner, perfect seating for those who decide to check out one of the books from the bakery bookshelf. (Buy a book!) There's also a nice little office space that would be great for meetings or study groups while you enjoy the Kupcakerie treats. It's super quiet and the cashiers have all been friendly, fast and willing to share their personal recommendations. Kupcakerie offers about a dozen different cupcake flavors daily and I feel like every flavor is worth a try, lol. I don't truly love sweets, but I have cravings for a little sugar like anyone else, and their cupcakes are always worth it. (And pair well with wine!) If you're not on the hunt for cupcakes, you should check out the breakfast sandwiches, coffees, sandwiches/salads, etc. that they also offer.The strawberry Scarlet Letter and Yes, Pecan! are my faves. Yum!"

101 Steak

★★★★☆ 4.3 (304) • $$$

"We had dinner reservation for 2 at 7:00 pm on Saturday, 12/2/23. The service was great! Valet parking. Unassuming from the outside. Very nice on the inside! Tall leather booths. Five stars for the steak. Four stars for the sides.We got way too much food, but we had leftovers! Here's what we got:- Tuna Tartare ($18): Good!- French Onion Soup ($12): Tasty!- Burrata & Prosciutto ($16): The burrata was great. Wish the prosciutto was saltier and had more taste.- 12 oz Filet Mignon ($72): Very, very good. - 16 oz 101 Steak Delmonico ($72) with Bearnaise ($3): Super good! The sauce was good too, but not necessary.- Creamy Spinach ($13): This was actually gross. It was a tiny bit better the next day, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it.- Cheddar Mac-N-Cheese ($12): Fine, better as leftovers.- Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Ginger Soy ($14): Super delicious.- Chocolate Layer Cake ($12): OMG. So good. The salt was all on the edge, which I'm sure looks great for decoration, but it made a few bites way too salty. The salt needed to be spread out more.We would definitely go back, just wouldn't get the creamed spinach."

La Petite Maison

★★★★☆ 4.1 (191) • $$$

"Lovely dinner with the family. We came here on a Monday night and so the restaurant was not quite as busy as the weekend, when we were turned away. The service is excellent. We had a bottle of red from Cot Du Rhône which was excellent. I had to start with escargo for the appetizer which were wonderful, then had the seafood linguine, and finished with crème brûlée which was divine. The owner came by to speak to us a few times and made us feel welcome. Can't wait to come again."

Casa Balam

★★★★☆ 3.9 (57)

"Dear Casa Balam- Whomever is running your instagram & social media presence deserves a raise. We were one of the first to find your restaurant the second week ya'll opened. I'm rating the overall experience 3/5, don't take it too personally, it was only your second week opened. The menu was overwhelming with the amount of options. We all love options, but it was giving Cheesecake Factory encyclopedia vibes. I'll pass on the ceviche next time around, to be honest it was bland, but the presentation was cute. For our mains, my husband and I had the tacos- one of nearly each- and we have 0 complaints. They were delicious! The service was great, the hostess were warm & welcoming. Cocktails were wonderful, we enjoyed sipping on our margaritas while taking in the interior design. It was tastefully decorated. It's giving Tulum vibes. (however, I'd swap out the harsh bright white lights in the accent wall with warmer lighting to amplify the vibes & attract more selfies to show it off) We look forward to returning at the end of the summer!"

Bloom Coffee

★★★★★ 4.8 (80) • $$

"I visited Bloom a couple weekends ago to get some work done. It's a cute café with plenty of seating options. However, it can get a bit noisy, so it's not ideal if you're looking for a quiet spot. Service here is quick, and the pastries are excellent; on the sweeter side, but very tasty! I appreciate the variety of drink options, although none really stand out as exceptional to me. Most recently, I tried the Lavender Matcha ($5), which was mildly sweet with a subtle lavender flavor. My partner had the iced Pomegranate Green Tea ($3). While it looked appealing, it tasted more like water with just a hint of pomegranate. Overall, Bloom is a great spot for a casual visit, especially if you're looking for sweet treats."

Cake Culture

★★★★☆ 4.1 (14)

"Visiting Ponce market place and found this gem for crepe cakes and they were delicious! The person taking the order took his time and gave us sample because we could make up our minds ... and after that I felt like I wanted to take a piece of each flavor crepe cake ! Haha ! I ended up getting the classic and the red velvet, and I was give the option to get them frozen which it worked great because I was going to travel back to south Florida with them . Needless to say they arrive in perfect and so good to share with family and friends ."

Urban Wings

★★★★☆ 4.3 (6)

"Black owned franchised location.Hands down exceptional customer service. Tay was so patient, informative and entertaining.He helped us decide which options matched our tastes, explained each item in detail and explained how the vegan items are cooked separately from the non-vegan items.The food is prepared to order, so everything came out fresh and piping hot! Vegetarians there are a number of fried vegetable options including whole mushrooms, green tomatoes, pickles, green beans, asparagus, potatoes and more. Additionally, raw carrots and celery.I ordered the vegan wings in two flavors. Hot lemon was a winner. Nashville hot was a meh. I tried my friend's ghost pepper and it was fire, literally. But still very flavorful.The fried mushrooms and green tomatoes were delicious. No sauce needed.I will definitely return."

LOL Burger Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (37) • $$

"I am always on the hunt for an amazing turkey burger. After doing a little research I stumbled upon this spot. I opted to place an online order prior to heading over. This restaurant is located in a small plaza. There is a small parking lot. There was no issue with parking during my visit. However, there was only one other customer in the building when I arrived. When I walked in the only staff working greeted me and asked if I ordered a turkey burger and sweet potato fries. I was like I did- how did you know that? He said it was the only to go order he had and just assumed I was picking up. He went to the back and finished making my fries . I think I waited about 3-5 minutes The turkey burger had an amazing taste. If I have to offer a critique it would be that it was slightly salty. However. I don't eat a ton of salt so my taste buds may be a little off. I also enjoyed the fries. I will for certain be back. A little info on the business: First the name. It is indeed paying homage to the emoji. However, it is also an acronym for live out loud. The owner wanted her employees to constantly remember to live out loud! To continue the theme, the items on the menu have emoji names. They're all acronyms derived from the trend and popularity of social media. Overall this is a small but mighty spot. If you want good service and good food- check it out!"

Smashing Eats ATL

★★★★☆ 3.6 (15)

"I'm in love. I've been coming here several times for meeting and been wanting to find my hole in the wall kind of spot. THIS HIT the SPOT in every which way. You know it's good when the food got you moaning like it's sexing it up. Is this what dirty south means?! OMG I can't stop thinking about that oxtail dish I had with the rice and collards.Maybe all the regulars are use to eating this on a daily and thinking nothing of it. But from someone from the East coast North that knows nothing about it got me educated. This is definitely a one stop must for me if you down at ATL. OXTAIL is highly recommended. The fried chicken hit the spot and that banana budding put me to BED. Just writing this review got me needing to shower."

Bar Premio

★★★★☆ 4 (3)

"Amazing ambiance, incredible service, beautiful food. I got a recommendation of a vegetarian sandwich option that was to die for! Great restaurant concept that I will be frequenting going forward!"

Oreatha's at The Point

★★★★★ 4.6 (101)

"Went here based on recommendation from my cousin. Small space located in Cascade area. Very limited parking. There's a Wells Fargo plaza across the street that I used for parking. Not sure if that's part of an official parking lot for the business or not. This spot offered good energy and a cute quaint setup. I ordered oxtail lasagna and was not impressed at all. It was more of like a Deconstructed lasagna and it was very salty. When I mentioned its saltiness, the server did take it back and have it corrected. That was a plus. I saw them bring out some fries that looked fresh and home cut so I tried those. Listen. They did not disappoint. Try them! Last but not least.... The sangria! OMG!!! The bartender was behind the bar slanging them things and they were nothing less than amazing. Try the red one. You will thank me later."

Cafe Intermezzo

★★★★☆ 3.6 (1205) • $$

"A friend and I visited a month back on a weekday evening - and boy, it was busy even then. We did get seats fortunately. The place is a vibe with the dim lights and interiors. I found it pretty. We didn't want to have food - we just got beverages and desserts. I got a Mexican hot chocolate and my friend got a Cappuccino. The Mexican hot chocolate was interesting with the cinnamon and chocolate flavors. You must appreciate both to appreciate this. Also, this is a dessert in itself so be mindful while ordering. For desserts, I had ordered a Mississippi Mud pie (I believe that's what it is called - it's essentially a dense and rich chocolate cake) and my friend got the Tiramisu. My dessert ended up getting packed as is because the hot chocolate was a lot. The next day, it tasted alright. Not as decadent as I imagined it to be. The tiramisu is a guaranteed hit. The space is cozy. The price point is okay ish. There's plenty of parking in the area. I just wish they did better with their coffee and beverages. For a cafe, I expect the beverage options to be top-notch. It doesn't impress there."

Ali's Cookies

★★★★☆ 4.1 (179) • $$

"The cookies are great, but don't sleep on the cupcakes! I normally don't go for lemon flavored desserts but saw the cupcake and decided to give it a go... Wow. It was excellent! Perfectly moist with just the right amount of lemon flavor and frosting sweetness. To be honest, I liked it a lot more than their cookies. I regret not getting twelve.I've tried several different cookie flavors; Mexican hot chocolate, chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, and more. My favorite is the s'mores. The prices are reasonable especially for the size of the cookies. They also have heavily discounted day old cookies by the register. I've gotten a few of those and they taste just as good as the fresh ones IMO. Maybe a slight difference in consistency but not enough to ruin the taste.So, get a few cookies but don't forget the cupcakes!"

Matcha Cafe Maiko

★★★★☆ 4.4 (348) • $$

"Best matcha soft serve in Atlanta! Not too sweet and not too bitter. Perfect! I also enjoy the Hojicha latte with oat milk here too! The place also gives you japanese vibes. Cute!"

Morelli's Gourmet Ice Cream And Desserts

★★★★☆ 4.3 (32)

"We came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was not very crowded at all. My kids were glad to hear they were doing samples. All the flavors are visible in the glass display case and they did not have any mint chocolate chip. They did, however, have a peppermint, which was just as satisfying. I also had some of the Mocha almond fudge, which was really good as well.I love that you can get any size scoop inside of a waffle cone or bowl, which is great if you don't want that much ice cream, but still enjoy the crunchy waffle. Also, if you get a small, you can get two different flavors as it is two scoops and a good value. There is a small parking lot out front and some indoor tables, but we walked up and took ours to-go. The staff here is super friendly."

Fluffy Fluffy Dessert Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (167)

"OMG...I died and went to fluffy heaven! I've been dying to try this popular international chain's Japanese Souffle Pancakes for months now...but the place was just too popular, with too much of a wait. However, I got lucky this time. I went on off-hours, on a yucky, rainy day...and there was no line!The place was cute...very bright, sunny decor, and the place was warm and welcoming.I finally ordered their deluxe Matcha Tiramisu flavor...and it was possibly the best tasting and fluffiest Souffle Pancake I've ever had?!? It was so beyond delish! First of all, the portions were huge...enough for 2. As the name implies, their pancakes are truly fluffy...so soft, plump, and just very well made. Also, loved how they jazzed it up with plenty of strawberries, some chocolate, and Matcha powder toppings, as well as a side of Matcha cream syrup, Ice Cream, and Whipped Cream. Just WOW-OH-WOW. Cafe 104 in Duluth also presents amazing Souffle Pancakes...every bit as pretty! However, I think these pancakes taste a tad better...and again, a bit softer and fluffier.If you've never tried Japanese Souffle Pancake, this is a great place to try it, and get addicted. Despite the fact it's a 3 hours' drive away from my hometown, I'm so glad Duluth now has a few places that offer these elusive pancakes!"

Sharks Chicken & Fish

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (37) • $

"This place is located in the sam plaza as a gas station. The food here is good and they have parking. They are connected to a liquor store. This place is small, but the food was good. We ordered our food and we waited about 10-15 min for it to be made. They had a variety of fried items to pick from. Such as chicken gizzards, chicken wings, and other fried items. They had a variety of meals. I picked the chicken wing dinner it came with 3 wings and some fries. They have other sides to chose from as well. This place was good"

Tea Leaf & Creamery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (106)

"Tea leaf consistently has good boba and the tea itself.This specific location is close to all the food places on buford hwy. Plenty of parking in the complex. A lot of seating inside and great ambiance. They do have a self order kiosk (which wasnt the easiest boba kiosk i used). Lot of varieties of drink options. We tried the mango and super fruit tea. The drinks are refreshing and boba was good. Tad bit pricey compared to other boba places. But reflects in the quality IMO."

Sugar Baby Creamery

★★★★☆ 3.8 (77)

"My oh my.. it was a late night and someone wanted a milk shake.. so of course most of the usual spots close after 10 but not this one! Glancing over the menu.. wow this is pretty pricey!! $17 for a milkshake.. Must be over the top and high quality ingredients with amazing service? Wrong, it was so much BETTER!! Super extra sky high toppings, even the whipped cream was divine! I ordered the Banana pudding shake.. wow, real bananas and real vanilla wafers.. super sticky and rich caramel. Service was very nice as well. Two young ladies working was doing the best they could, fast as possible. Inside, think PINK!!! so cute inside with such a vibe.. cute wall decor for pictures and videos. They really went out on the decor!Overall, I really enjoyed my visit and will be back soon..."

Munster Cravings

★★★★★ 4.7 (91)

Arepa Mia

★★★★☆ 4.2 (450) • $$

"This spot is in a cramped area; there are a few parking spaces in the back, but based on my experience they are likely to fill quickly. The menu variety was considerable, and with the entire menu being gluten-free and a good number of vegetarian and occasional vegan options as well. If you like corn, you'll be happy.A got a tropical fruit juice, which always adds to the vibe. I ordered their version of a domino arepa, typically this is a bean and cheese combo but theirs had plantains and some sauteed vegetables as well. However, I was a bit surprised as I thought I might be getting a couple but there was only one. For what I spent, I wasn't that full. But it was tasty, and this is a cuisine I wish I could find more easily."

The Yard Milkshake Bar Atlanta - Downtown

★★★★☆ 4.2 (311)

"I wasn't aware that The Yard was a franchise, and there are several locations across the U.S.We stopped by after a meeting, and we shared the Sea Turtle - this came with butter pecan and praline ice cream in a chocolate-iced mason jar that's also rolled in crushed waffle cone; this is also topped with whipped cream, caramel and chocolate drizzles, and 2 Turtles.This was definitely a decadent dessert, and very easily shared between 2-3 people.The menu also offers shakes, sundaes, floats, edible cookie dough, and even GF and vegan options.You go through the line and get up to 2 samples of the ice cream; you place your order and pay, and your number will be called out when it's ready.Note that there's a password to use the restroom on the receipt.Plenty of seating inside. There's also a rinse station to clean out your souvenir mason jar, which I thought was pretty convenient.I do wish they properly stock napkins and paper towels, though, as they were non-existent.+shareable ice cream creations+friendly service+rinse station available for souvenir mason jars+lack of napkins"

Paige’s Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.2 (78) • $$

"They have their location in Austell and a ghost kitchen in Decatur. I went to their original location in Austell, it is take out only so if you live far be prepared to eat in or on your car. I got the peaches and cream waffle with the hot honey chicken tenders. Everything tasted really good and it was full of flavor. It was a lot of food so I ended up sharing it."

Aurora Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.1 (195)

"Since we walked in the coffee shop I loved homie feeling and the crowd was there. That shows the place is popular. Service was excellent and I liked how the barista makes my coffee drink"
