The cakes are visually stunning and make a great gift, but the box is too big, risking the cakes flipping over during transport. I really liked the Black Forest cake and suggest eating it within a day for the best taste, as it starts to decline after that. The strawberry and flower-shaped cakes look pretty, but the jelly filling hardens, and the cover tastes like cheesecake or white mousse, though it’s still edible. I think smaller cakes in individual boxes would be a better option, especially at $8.50 each.
The server was fantastic—helpful, sweet, warm, and attentive. The restaurant’s view is breathtaking. However, parking at the library is about $7-8 per hour, and you’ll need to walk to the store.

Nice vibes but the coffee is always scalding and tastes burnt. The pastries have very little flavor across the board and the total $ is always jaw dropping for such mediocre coffee.

Average place, small inside, order & get out of the way kind of place.

Great coffee, and incredibly friendly staff and management. Thanks for making my day better! :)

I wish I could rate it 5 stars but their coffee is just awful. I ordered Americano and it really smelled like mold I couldn’t drink it. My friend got double espresso and it wasn’t good. I don’t know if it’s the coffee beans itself or the water they use. But that was disappointing for a coffee shop. The desserts are great though.

Matcha drink was nice but the chai could use more flavor. The dark chocolate & pistachio cake was good but the raspberry cake was too sweet. Loved the outdoor seating, and the baristas were very nice and helpful. Definitely coming back for that matcha

VIBES ON 10!!! Love the staff that works here!!❤️❤️❤️
Excellent atmosphere and friendly staff I heavily recommend this location for a casual stop. The energy on a Saturday evening was an excellent addition to our weekend. They carry an assortment of croissants, gourmet chocolates and macarons, offering assorted espresso and wine beverages as pairings.

I’ve been a loyal customer at St. Germain in Buckhead Village for years. It used to be a place where I felt comfortable bringing my dog and connecting with the community. Unfortunately, my experience with the owner has made the space feel increasingly unwelcoming.
My dog, who is well-behaved and has not caused issues in months, was singled out after one incident where he barked and interacted with another dog. Other dogs bark in this dog-friendly café without consequence, yet I was told—through a supervisor, not directly—that my dog needed to be “better trained.” The owner has avoided speaking to me directly but has repeatedly sent messages and talked negatively about me through employees, which feels dismissive and targeted.
On top of that, I was told I could no longer even request a simple cup of hot water unless I purchased something else. The tone in which this was brought up felt accusatory, as though I had done something wrong, when I’ve always supported the business and paid for my drinks.
What concerns me most is the pattern: a lack of direct communication, different standards applied to me and my dog compared to others, and past comments that point toward bias. As a Black woman with a pit bull, I cannot ignore how much of this feels rooted in prejudice.
I’ve invested a lot of time and money here, but I no longer feel safe or welcome in a place that treats me this way.

Pretentious snobby walk up counter service. Way too expensive for average food. Stay away

Nestled in the charming heart of Buckhead Village, St. Germain is a slice of Parisian magic in Atlanta! Every visit feels like a delightful escape, thanks to the consistently amazing service and the warm, welcoming staff.
Their French pastries are a dream, with the pistachio and almond croissants filled with cream being absolute standouts! The canelés are perfect with a cup of tea or coffee, and they’re just as delightful to enjoy at home as they are at the shop. And trust me I take many home each visit, lol. Speaking of tea, their selection is divine, especially with a touch of honey!
Don’t miss the Riviera sandwich and the quiches—my favorites are the chicken and mushroom, and the goat cheese and broccoli. Whether you’re there to catch up with loved ones, dive into a good book, or just enjoy a lavender latte, St. Germain is simply the best coffee shop in Atlanta! ♥️🥐
I love getting the chocolates here.
