I bought the plantain espresso with a salmon patty. Both were delicious 😋. I will definitely go back.
Service was amazing!!

Food was kind of pricey.

I got a beef patty with the chicken flavor. It was pretty dry and salty, and for $8.64, I was really hoping for better, but the service was amazing!!
Absolutely excellent and hidden gem coffee shop. I live in Buckhead but was in the area. As many have already mentioned, plantain latte is tea chefs kiss. I normally don't get sugar in my coffee so I got half sweet and it was perfect. Jamaican beef patty exceeded expectations...never knew they could taste that good. Staff and owner were a highlight...super friendly and helpful. They also have good swag, owner is a designer which makes this business even more special! Definitely...read full review
