Cafe I AM

Can't believe I've not heard of this place. It's a pretty cool South African cafe. Amazing vibes, indoor and outdoor seating, friendly staff and amazing food, bakery items and coffees.We were in the neighborhood and wanted to grab some coffee. This location showed up in Yelp and we decided to try it. Parking was easy and the staff greeted us right away. There was a cricket match going on so we decided to join a few others to watch the match till the end. We got their speciality coffee - which was the bomb! Can't remember all the ingredients but definitely a must have!We also got the breakfast panini, caprese panini and a cappuccino plus a lemon bar on the way out.What a fantastic cafe, off the beaten path, and a must try for anyone in the area!!

I was really excited to try this place out and wanted to enjoy it. However, a few aspects of the experience were off-putting.I'll start with the positives: This is among the more interesting venues in the context of sitting in a residential neighborhood (in what seems to be a repurposed home) but also not too far from the main drag of Sandy Springs. I even enjoyed the piano and the South Africa theme that was prevalent through the posters and notices. Decor was eclectic and partially wacky.The people working there are clearly busy...juggling many responsibilities relating to host, server, billing, cooking, etc. It almost seems like they are understaffed, but they were really friendly nonetheless.I ordered a keto breakfast plate. Took a little while to come, but when it did, it was pretty decent. They forgot some other aspects of my order, but it wasn't a big deal, and I didn't really care.What bothered me was that, at the end, when paying the bill, you can see the kitchen and the worker making the food. That worker then served the food to customers outside and touched the doorknob and the door itself. Any common sense sanitation protocol suggests that after you turn a doorknob, you should wash your hands before handling more food. But he didn't do that instead went on touching more food with his bare hands upon returning to the kitchen. Needless to say, I was turned off by the lack of hygiene.

Moncie made me the best latte I have ever had. Smooth and even, it was like being in Italy. Great atmosphere here and super friendly service.

For a first timer it is a bit confusing as it is appears to be a repurposed house, but otherwise the ambience is very welcoming. I was visiting for a quick cup of coffee. Settled on tea. Some amazing cbd infused varieties. I don't remember the ones I had, but the tea was very refreshing and served in a kettle. Actually one tea can be sufficient for 2 people. Tried their hummus, was good. Very prompt and efficient service. Solid 4, will revisit and try more stuff and possibly update the rating

We had a party of 3 for brunch at 11:15 am on Monday, 4/24/23. We made a reservation on Seated, an app where you earn money back on meals at certain restaurants (use my code erin2109 and we both get $10!), so we got a percentage back! Our waiter was super friendly and sweet. The restaurant is airy and bright. They have a lovely outdoor area with a lot of tables. The waiter explained that the restaurant is part of a wellness compound.Here's what we got: Chai Latte ($5.95), Double Latte ($5.50), Breakfast Plate ($16.95), Breakfast Panini ($17.95), and Salmon Toast ($20.95). Everything was good, but the prices are outrageous, especially since the Breakfast Panini and Salmon Toast didn't even come with a side. Because of the Seated app, we got 19% off our meal, which was much more reasonable.Without the percentage off, it's not worth it. I would only go if you use Seated!

I can't remember what coffee I ordered before the menu change. This is my personal flaw from being more of the type to look for visual cues to remember or order items. However I give full credit to this pla e for putting Italian coffee on my list of favorites. I'm a huge fan of a strong coffee/espresso type. Small parking area, very residential vibes. So, yes to all things coffee! Small food menu if you get hungry while you down your second cup of joe.

This was a very cute spot to get some work done and have a nice bite to eat. I got the turkey and cheese Panini on a croissant and a café Americano. Both were delicious and I will definitely be back to try out their espresso martinis! The service was good and you can tell that they paid close attention to detail.

I went to Cafe I AM with a friend to work and grab some lunch. We both got the caprese panini meal, which we were disappointed by the size of considering it was a little higher in price. Otherwise, it was a good and it was nice working there!

So much fun! This is a hidden gem nestled in a residential community. The service is spectacular and the food is delicious. Great British commonwealth international cuisine.Comfy patio and stylish interior. We were here a huge bash for the international rugby championship, and we can't wait to return. Easy parking

I took my co worker to lunch after a client visit. I absolutely love this cafe. I have a lot of food sensitivity's and that fit the bill! They have GF healthy choices that make me feel good when I'm finished eating. Service is always great and the parking is behind the restaurant. The only issue is if you didn't use a routing map, you'd have a difficult time finding this neighborhood gem! It has the word Vandy on the building! Not sure why but the marketing needs updated.
