Dessence Cafe

Food was absolutely phenomenal. We were greeted kindly at the door and even got to meet the owner Shy! They are amazing people who run the establishment. I got the catfish plate and the catfish was seasoned to perfection! I was brought here by TikTok but I'll definitely be returning for the food and amazing service

Read reviews and figure it would give a try. Menu said meal was $9.95, but rang up at 10.95. Then charged me $2 for cheese on eggs and grits. I only got one sausage link, grits were bland and eggs salty. Food was ok, if they threw another link in it would be worth it. I might try something else if decide to give it another try in the future. Service was fast and friendly

My wife's flight got delayed while we were already on the way to the airport so we decided to grab some breakfast together before she flies out. Found this spot randomly on Google maps & I am so glad we did. We walked in to some very interesting but feel-good vibes. We were acknowledged right away. Maybe it's because I walked in with no expectations but the service was quite good & the food was amazing!I took one look at the menu & immediately knew I was getting the corn beef hash - something that was regularly in my breakfast routine in NY & KC that Atlanta (or at least its suburbs) doesn't really seem to have.Was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience (service + food) & will probably not be dining anywhere else if I find myself hungry again near the airport.

I found this place on yelp and when I pulled up I almost drove off because the location is in a sketchy area and I'm not thrown off by sketchy locations easily. The only reason I didn't pull off is because a parking spot opened up and I went back on yelp to read the reviews and someone said don't judge by the outside so I took a chance. Boy am I glad I did this has gotta to be one of the best kept secrets in Atlanta, the food and the service was phenomenal. There was a steady stream of customers coming in and out while I was there. I would definitely come back here again if I'm in the area.

I finally tried them out , and I must say I am now a loyal customer . Every food item was good even the Grits was flavorful along with the eggs.. maybe next I will try the salmon breakfast until next time

I'm glad to have discovered this gem on the southside. From the outside I didn't expect much and was about to leave but luckily my wife saw a lit chandelier and figured to go ahead and go inside...the inside was dimly lit for a late Saturday morning but I enjoyed the random expressions of the owner... think fish tanks, sports memorbilia and the club. People coming thru knew what was up and greeted us as they passed by saying it is "the best kept secret". The value I found was their waitstaff (1) single waitress that handles the whole restaurant with ease and a big personality. The food was delicious and could have easily fit in North of I-20... if you want great breakfast food with impeccable service- wait to judge and try here! Thank me later

Cozy breakfast spot in East Point. Don't let the location fool you either! This is a small family-owned business with an amazing young girl always serving the front. I started ordering from here during the pandemic when I was working from home and continue to eat here (mostly Doordash). The service is always warm and the food is hot and fresh. I recommend this business for breakfast and lunch. I usually order the salmon croquettes or porkchops. Cant miss with either.

Absolutely amazing food, everything was seasoned to perfection. We were a family of 4 that stopped to have breakfast based on my daughter ordering from Door Dash and sharing the picture. She said mom" this food will remind you of Detroit Cooking "They did not disappoint. I have been in Atlanta for 2.5 years and let me tell you. ... compared to all the other places that I have tried and been referred to...this is by far the ABSOLUTE BEST.... I'm no food critic.. but I have traveled all around world eating different cuisine and this place was amazing. The host was very friendly and attentive... I told her to kiss the cook. Will I be back, absolutely!Do I recommend, absolutely!Was it worth it, absolutely!

The restaurant is honestly such a smooth and relaxing vibe. I was provided with excellent service and a happy staff as well. The fried chicken was delicious as long with the grits and toast. I will be visiting every time I come to Atlanta. 10/10 most definitely will try again.

Yo this food is busting okay the chef is fantastic the food you don't need no seasoning with it. Everything's pre-marinated the prices are reasonable. Okay the lemonades are great! All right I would recommend this place to anyone who wants it and they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner all day so you can get whatever you want. All right y'all try it out for real for real four stars me
