50 Best Cafes near Brookhaven

“Coffee and service were great!
I recommend adding some gluten-free options for food, cold press juices, or organic options. I had a panini and it was very good. But my husband didn't have any options to eat *he's on a keto diet.“

“I try to visit this place every time I am in Atlanta. We love the atmosphere, service, and food. Their apple butter for their biscuits is delicious. Try it! You won't be disappointed.

Parking: No problem finding a spot.

Kid-friendliness: Kids would enjoy too although we did not have any that day.

Wheelchair accessibility: Noticed the sidewalks were marked and establishment is on street level.“

“Had a wonderful experience with my husband at Bread & Butterfly this morning/afternoon for brunch! Food was amazing, atmosphere was inviting and service was impeccable!!! Highly recommend this restaurant and even got to talk directly with the owner/head chef Bill! If you are in the area or even if not make the drive, it will be well worth it!!! Neighborhood where it is located, Inman Park, is very nice as well with lots of walk-ability and less than 2 miles from downtown Atlanta, so make it a day or weekend trip.“

“Really nice place, good food, nice staff. No complaints!“

“The food is fresh and flavorful! Had a nice lunch and dessert! Highly recommend the chicken.“

“Love the food and the staff and Martin and the lavender latte. Sad the fabulous French toast didn’t come with REAL MAPLE SYRUP! Perhaps charge extra for customers who don’t want corn syrup/ fake maple syrup!“

“The service was amazing and the food was perfect.“

“1st time Really Good. Next time will try the sandwiches.“

“Absolutely so cute! Very tasty treats. Perfect lunch spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Also, easy for a walk to when in Grant Park or the zoo.“

“"I visited Augie’s for the first time on Wednesday, but it definitely won’t be my last. I had the ‘You’re the One I Want,’ and let me tell you—I’ve never had catfish seasoned so perfectly. Every bite was hot, fresh, and full of flavor, right down to the honey butter biscuit. Our server was attentive and personable, giving the best recommendation. This spot is truly a hidden gem in the West End, and I can’t wait to go back!"“

“I’ve been here a few times and the selections, vibes, and flavors are excellent. I did however want to complain that I was just there on a Saturday afternoon when it was actually not bust at all. The barista was taking to the side with what I thought was a customer. I put in my order easily at the kiosk and went to go walk around. I did a lap or so and realized the customer barista was taking to were friends of his. He definitely greeted me and saw me enter my order and just continued chatting with his friends. I felt weird to confront him and just waited. I walked over when I finally saw him start to make drinks as his friends left to get food next door. Only to find that he had just been making drinks for his friends. He apologized for the wait, but honestly it was a terribly service experience and felt really ignored. Next time I’m in the area I’m just going to go to Banjo Coffee instead.“

“Great place to get a delicious cup of coffee. They mix up their drip brews so it’s always different, but always awesome.“

“Love the service and quality of the food“

“Discovered this cafe after looking online for restaurants near the hotel a friend and I were staying at. Went for breakfast and the food was delicious. Best grits I have ever had, and I’ve had a lot! In fact, we went back the next two days for breakfast as it was so good. My friend said the hot coffee was wonderful — fresh, smooth, and tasty and not bitter. Definitely recommend Rosie’s based on our 3 trips there!“

“Accidentally made it up here on Friday of Dragon Con. The ladies at the top of the escalator very kindly texted the owner, who was in another building, to let him know he had customers, and he came right over, made our drinks to order, including adjusting mine to a comfortable temp for my sore tooth. Service deserves 10 stars, and it was a very tasty latte, too.“

“Beautiful food and friendly service.“

“On a mission to have breakfast today, without waiting in a long line, I stumbled on a jewel in the former location of soul food restaurants, Deacon Burton’s/Son’s Place in Inman Park. The Breakfast Burrito, Salmon on Toast, champagne, etc., were delicious and Complimentary!! Unbeknown to us, restaurant was having a “private intro” to the community and a staff training event. Melanie (Owner/Host) welcomed us in like we were family. Her husband Micheal was so excited to hear about my many visits to Deacon Burton’s. Can’t wait to go back. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“The best place for a chill meet up, great outdoor atmosphere and the best management and staff! Got a quick bite and delicious drinks. The Espresso Martini 🍸 from Devyn was amazing! Looking for a great day or night spot…Parkgrounds is it!!“

“Chill work environment w/lots of great goodies to partake!“

“A wonderful find. The food is delicious and the staff is wonderful. Unique and a great location. Enjoy!“

“This place is a hidden gem loacted in an office building. The owner is a cute couple and you can tell it's a family operated business. They were patient with me while I was going through the menu. Their smile just made my day.

The food was delicious. I had a chicken salad wrap and a salad. Ingredients were so fresh!

I was surprised at the price and the quality of the food.

I stopped by after googling this place. From now on count me in as a regular. I'll definitely be back!“

“Best mocha!!!!! Had a very stressful day, and decided to treat myself with a fancy coffee. The lovely people behind the counter were so nice, especially the lady who recommended the best mocha, cookie butter, I think she said, and it was absolute perfection! ?? Chef's kiss!!! Thank you so much for your good energy and making my day so much better! ❤️ I visited Saturday, October 5th, 2024 around 4pm.“

“The atmosphere was great, food was delicious, great vibe, positive vibe.“

“We recently moved to Atlanta and were extremely disappointed in the coffee options near us. That disappointment faded recently when Sidecar opened. Their coffee is AMAZING and well worth the minor detour on my way to work. It’s also a great option if you’re looking for a place to hang out for a bit and get some work done.“

“We ordered the lamb meatballs, duck confit, and beef Bolognese. All were outstanding, but the duck and its pairings were perfection. We didn’t mention that it was my birthday until we were getting our check. Our waiter went above and beyond and gave us three glasses of champagne and two free desserts! The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. The wine list is to die for! I highly recommend.

Dietary restrictions: They asked about food allergies and were able to accommodate our nut allergy. I assume they would be able to accommodate almost anything based on their knowledge of food.“

“The environment and everything else are pretty good!“

“The service was stellar! The gentleman preparing the food was extraordinarily patient, going above and beyond to ensure that all of my questions were answered and that I was comfortable with my food choices. He seemed to truly care.

Food was great! I appreciated the many organic ingredients and the plethora of clean menu options. Would have loved more fruit in my acai bowl but the granola made up for it. Egg sandwich was good but would have been better hot.

I could see myself becoming a regular here!“

“Coffee is good and service very friendly (altho a bit expensive). The problem is the parking though. I entered the validation code but got a letter a week later demanding I pay $87 as a fine for not paying parking. First the validation didn’t work. Second I will not return to any of that retail if that’s what the parking lot tries to extort from you for if someone does make a legit mistake and not pay. Places like the Battery, Avalon and Atlantic Station don’t do that. Even the city of Atlanta parking ticket is less. It’s sad as I like a lot of the restaurants there. But enforcing that kind of parking ran me off. Silly.“

“If you are seeing this people, then there are 2 Bismillah cafes beside each other and people seem to be confusing them both up. I am writing the review for the smaller 1 storied bismillah cafe.

It looks deceiving as it is small and shabby and has a store on the other side of the wall. This small cafe is run by a Bangladeshi man and the guy is good. The food is even better.

I ordered 2 lamb shanks and 2 chicken samosas and it came out to 37 dollars with tax. The lamb shank was mind blowing, it was just too good. I told him to make it extra spicy and the Indian in me just loved it.

I am going back again once I have enough money and have worked out enough so that it would be like a reward for me.“

“We came in right at closing and we were still welcomed in and served even thought both employees were tired and closing up the shop. I hope you recognize them“

“visit Sparseland Studios one of the oldest running creatives space in westend!“

“I needed a last-minute cake, something special, and most bakeries close early. So I headed over to the Queen of Sheba, which google maps promised would have cakes until 8. But they didn't have the flavor requested! Disaster. A customer said tiramisu was a house specialty, and the young lady behind the counter agreed that it was her favorite. Even though tiramisu is a gamble with a new crowd, I went for it. It was one of the most delicious, perfect cakes I've ever had. That any of us had ever had. It's what all other tiramisu wishes it could be. Good price, too. I 100% will get my next cake there.“

“I’m so happy that i found this place near my house, I’ve never seen a Café like this before! Very nice people even though I’m not from their country but everyone were so nice the owner himself came and welcomed us the food was delicious this is just the perfect place.. may Allah SWT bless you with more success 🌸🌸“

“Award winning coffee made by award winning people. Support small business, and tell a friend. Thank you everyone for your continued support of our Veterans.“

“Didn’t buy food, just a vanilla latte! It was my first time and the blonde lady at the counter was so lovely explaining how to choose what works for you since I don’t know coffee. I observed her appeasing someone who was not happy and wouldn’t even make eye contact - so rude! She bought him a pastry with her own money to make his day better and the guy didn’t say thank you at all just left in a huff. I can tell their baristas try to care for their guests.“

“We have some of the whole bean coffee and find it so smooth! Looking at buying more!!“

“Great restaurants in Decatur and this one is at the top. The food is fantastic as is the service. We took a couple from New Orleans to have lunch there and they raved about it.“

“Nice little place inside the Grant Park Market. The market has a loyalty program and after so many dollars in purchases, you can redeem your points for a percentage off your groceries or for items on the Gather menu. You order a the counter and they bring the food out to you. I got the steak & cheese bagel with my points and also coffee, waffle and chicken sausage. All the food was delicious and the service was wonderful. I’ll be heading back to try some of the lunch items.“

“Stumbled upon this restaurant after looking for something nearby that was open late so I could eat and get some work done. It definitely was not a regular restaurant, I think it gave more of a lounge vibe, I got my work done anyway. The food was great. The Braised whole fish was enough for 2 and I ate it all lol. The rice I had was jollof she said, I've had jollof many times and I'm also a Chef, trust me when I say this rice was top tier, not sure if they have it everyday because I saw something else in the other picture reviews. The music definitely made me stay longer than I generally would have at the bar. Congratulations to the restaurant owners on their new journey, you have gained a new customer. Although I'm from the Caribbean, I'm extremely happy to see some more diverse options in this area! God Bless.“

“The best! Most delicious! Try a Rachel Panda bear!!!“

“Ok stop!!? this was great!! Love love the atmosphere! Great service..but that’s not all. The food was amazing..from the meatballs to the pasta!! THE PASTA felt like it was homemade! I would recommend this place if you are in the area! There is a paid parking lot steps away..“

“Very pleasant atmosphere very friendly staff“

“Great atmosphere and even better musicians!!!! My Monday nights will now consist of Ten ATL!!“

“very different yet great tasting teas.high quality.“

“I love this place. Plenty plant based/ vegan options, and they also have things prepared so you don’t wait at all. The flavor in the hummus wrap is incredible. So many vegetables that perfectly pair. Just wow. I’ll be back!“

“The SWEETEST lady works the front counter (owner). She is from Busan so her accent is cute and she is so friendly. The Bingsoo is refreshing and not overly sweet. Good portions and fair price.
They have mini boonguhbbang (taiyaki ). Love this little spot!“

“Cafe Intermezzo is rightfully advertising its European flair. It helps me remember quality time in Italy or Austria, and it is a great mix of the old (notice the ceiling fans in the dining room and ceiling tiles in the restroom) and the new (shiny glass cake displays).

I've visited Atlanta twice and had the pleasure of dining here, but on this third visit, we hopped on MARTA during a 6-hour layover at the airport to get here. It is a perfect spot to commemorate the end of our vacation. My spouse ordered the Tomato Basil Pasta and said that when he craves pasta, that is the flavor he imagines.

I had Spicy Tri Cheese Tortellini, and even though I asked for no red pepper flakes, I was glad to have the dish as intended. That bit of heat added a essential balance to the flavor.

We were also impressed with Baked Brie and Mexican Hot Chocolate, and the cakes sure deserve to be in a shiny display case. The Black Magic Chocolate cake is everything I imagined when I noticed it (without the overwhelming sweet taste so typical of American desserts).“

“I think they changed chiefs, food isn't as good this time around. Also told us they ran out of bread, which was very strange to me. The restaurant on a weekend was dead. My drink also was not the best. Bar is beautiful though, lots of space for bigger parties.“

“always a delight to enjoy 😉“
