Don't sell coffee if you don't know how to make it. Agree with other 1-3 stars reviews.

Update 10/23/25: Came to this cafe again. Got Honey Ginger Tea for $6. Undrinkable. Extremely sweet. Disappointed again. Please avoid this place.

Wonderful staff, delicious looking pastry! :) The store would benefit from working on the flavor profile of the pastry. :(

we bought a cake from here and took it home for my brother’s birthday. we take it out the box and it has a foul smell and taste. few days later we come back and the manager David was a really helpful and nice guy and was able to get us our refund. great guy deserves a raise

Wow, this place is like heaven on Earth. Incredible selection of pastries, breads, croissants, fresh sandwiches, drinks, and more. Everything I've tried so far is delicious. The sandwiches are expertly crafted. All at a reasonable price. I will definitely return when I'm in the area.

Attempted to visit this location on 2 separate occasions around 5-6pm. Nothing left but a few bakery items. Not understanding how this works. Open until 11pm on the weekend but as per your employees stop restocking between 1-2pm? How does this make sense to the management/owners? It’s okay though. Sweet Hut and Paris Baguette understands the assignment and is a short distance away.

Was craving some pastries and my wife knows how much I enjoy Korean pastries. This place isn’t too far from where we live so we decided to give it a try.
If you have never been to a place like this before it can be a bit confusing on what to do because there are no instruction or anyone helping you know what to do.
Overall, everything we got was excellence and will be back for sure. The prices are reasonable and we our time there.

I saw this cafe on Tiktok and I knew I had to give it a try when I visit Atlanta. I have been to this cafe 3x and had 3 different experiences. The first time I dined in and ordered the bacon egg sandwich. The first time I got the sandwich and a cookie came with it. I enjoyed my meal and decided that I would stop here every time I visit. The 2nd time I ordered to go. I ordered the same thing but this time I was given a bag of chips, a cookie and a sauce. The sauce made my sandwich 10x better. So I came today and ordered my regular to go. I looked in my box no cookie, sauce, or chips. I asked about the sauce and the worker gave me sauce. Then I asked about the cookie and I was told it was only for dine in (she was nice and gave me a cookie anyway). I didn’t even bother to ask about the chips. I just ask for consistency

I visited White Windmill Bakery and Cafe in Doraville for the first time today, and I found the atmosphere to be cozy and inviting. There were multiple options to choose from, which made for a delightful selection.

I went on the recommendation of my sister-in-law, planning to surprise her with a cake for her birthday. I took my 2-year-old son along with his two cousins, which added a bit of chaos to the outing. Unfortunately, my experience was marred by the service at the register. The staff member seemed quite impatient, rushing me as I tried to manage the kids and make my selections. Despite spending nearly $100 and tipping 15%, I felt his attitude was unwelcoming, which was disappointing.

While the cake and pastries were delicious, the service left much to be desired. I might consider visiting other locations in the future, but I won’t be returning to this one due to the treatment I received.

This is my favorite coffeeshop/bakery in ATL to meet with friends or work at. I'm the biggest klutz and left my laptop there once, only to realize it late at night. The staff very kindly kept it for me and I got my laptop back the next morning. I cannot imagine what I'd do without my laptop as a student. Kudos to everyone working there! Phew!

I personally don’t like to leave reviews but here we go. Perks - open late. I saw another review stating that everything was basically sold out & ignored because there wet so many good reviews - after a 45 mins drive after work I arrive there & everything that was so appealing online was nowhere in sight upon arrival - staff seemed uninterested to be there (I should’ve taken pics) all the cute pastries I saw online / social media was gone yet the store replied on someone else’s comment that they replenish frequently 🙄 - to not let my drive go to waste (I had 4 kids with me that picked out what pastries they wanted before arrival) we settled for boba & Oreo shake I didn’t get anything so I can’t vouch for the flavors or freshness - myself & the kids were disappointed- I loved this place better on TikTok

Great spot for milk tea, desserts, fresh sandwiches. Quality is consistently good and so is the atmosphere.
We got the avocado egg sandwich, back and egg sandwich, honeydew milk tea with popping boba, and the most amazing strawberry custard croissant. Would I recommend this to anyone keen on having a good casual meal
