“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.“

“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!“

“Food was delicious. Cook came out to greet us. She was very nice. I highly recommend this place. Priced good. Food even better.“

“I love this place. Living in Inman park, you’ve gotta go back into the surrounding neighborhoods to find anything eclectic and vibey. Awesome, women-led staff who know how to brew some dang good coffee and cook up dang good food. Dog-friendly, which I absolutely love. They’ve made a regular outta me.“

“I came to Hot Cafe twice in one week—that’s how good it was.

First visit: I ordered the chicken pho and wow… the broth alone was amazing, almost giving ramen vibes. I also tried the fried chicken wings and the flavor was on point.

Second visit: My cousin got the red coconut curry tofu and it was absolutely amazing. I had the pineapple chicken fried rice, and once again—the flavor did not disappoint.

The Thai tea was great, though I do wish there were a dairy-free option since it’s made with half-and-half. That said, I don’t even like bananas, but their banana egg roll dessert was scrumptious.

The atmosphere is no-frills, but the customer service is a solid 10/10. Friendly, welcoming, and consistent food quality.

Highly recommend—clearly a new favorite. 🍜🔥“

“First time here and got the salted caramel shake. It was delicious.“

“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. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Beautiful food and friendly service.“

“My first time coming in. First, let me say when you first walk in, the energy is beautiful. Miss Joana welcomes you in with her beautiful smile and amazing personality. She introduced me to the smoothies and teas and helped me with which one would fit best for my needs for the day. My smoothie taste wonderful. I got the strawberry cheesecake smoothie. I’m definitely a regular customer. Much love….Tokyo.“

“Amazing experience! Don’t know just where to begin. I love the pork chops, black eyed peas over rice, the fish and grits, the meatloaf; just so many great tasting items! Plus Diane, Tony and the children all are rock stars, in the kitchen and running the show. Such a pleasure to enjoy…🤓“

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

“Great food, large amounts, excellent prices, and exceptional customer service. I saw a large crowd come in 15 minutes before closing, and they treated them and made their food fresh, just as though the restaurant had just opened. Finding a restaurant like that is hard to come by nowadays. I will definitely continue to recommend this diner to any and everyone.“

“Absolutely great customer service and excellent food and coffee! Came after the Taylor Swift Concert and the place was hoppin’! The staff were all awesome and friendly even with how busy they were. The coffee was excellent, Lavender Haze on the Taylor’s menu was chefs kiss! They were even kind enough to make my 8 year old a Taylor’s version hot chocolate with a little lavender in it! Food was delicious! We will absolutely be back on our next Atlanta visit!“

“I ordered a devil's food cake for my husband's birthday last week and Yamesia absolutlely delivered. I had a hard time finding a baker who knew what a devil's food cake was. Not the case with Yamesia. The cake was delicious, moist with true deep chocolate flavor. The icing was light and not overly sweet. We had a sheet cake and usually there is cake left over at most of the parties I have attended in the last few years. This is my forever cake artist, decorator and baker. Kudos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

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

“Love the patio for coffee in the morning, drinks in the evening are very nice.“

“I love this part of town and it’s not too far from the King Memorial MARTA station. I finally stopped in last week for breakfast and think it’s a great value meal for the area. My skillet was delicious and I’ve had coffee here in the past. I’ll definitely be back!“

“always a delight to enjoy 😉“

“Great Homemade Saturday Morning Breakfast! Good people too! I always want to support Black Owned and Local! #BenHillBeenReal❤️💙“

“The gentleman behind the counter was pleasant and helpful. But the food!!! I got the Grilled Caesar Wrap and The Incredible and everything was amazing, it was seasoned perfectly and all tasted so fresh. I will definitely return when I come to visit Atlanta again.“

“Ashley(?) the cashier Barista :) was so kind & helpful to my husband while he ordered. Our food was delicious: creamy grits -a Southern staple! breakfast bowl was plentiful! My husbae the pancake lover said they were so good - fluffy with a little crisp edges and flavorful. I marveled at the quality and the reasonable prices!“

“Gabriel was our tech who arrived and installed our new Eversys machine and he was amazing ! I always love when individuals in the service industry remember your name and use your name in conversation. Gabriel was great with providing information to me on how to care for our new espresso machine while also being super chill and understanding with all the questions that I asked him. Overall, just felt very reassured and supported during our installation appointment and I hope he continues to be our tech in the future ! Bronnies big ups to him !!!!!!!“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“I would like too be apart of the team“

“There is a wider selection at this Sam's. The wait times are getting better, depending on the time you shop. However, why are pets allowed in a place where food is being served, now? I'm not talking about service dogs. These are pets riding in the carts. WHY!?! UNSANITARY. I will shop elsewhere if that is a thing now.“

“Got the brisket Quesadilla with Brussel sprouts. The sprouts stole the show! The quesadilla had a very strong bacon flavor which, they cannot remove the bacon even if you ask as it is pre-prepared. Bottles of water are $4. No water cup option. Good place if you’re at the mart and in a pinch!“

“Aaliyah was so great! We had a great time!“

“If you’re looking for a breakfast spot that feels like home with food that tastes like heaven, Yummies Cafe in Riverdale, GA, is it! My family and I recently visited for breakfast, and we were blown away by the quality and care that went into every bite. The pancakes were the perfect mix of fluffy and crispy, with golden edges that added the ideal crunch. The eggs were cooked to perfection, and the bacon? It was everything bacon should be… crispy, smoky, and satisfying. The fried chicken was a standout, perfectly seasoned and fried to a golden, juicy crisp. But the real star of the meal? The cinnamon honey biscuits!!! These were hands down the best biscuits we’ve ever had… soft, buttery, and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth heavenly! The atmosphere was cozy, and the service was warm and welcoming, making the experience even better. Yummies Cafe is a hidden gem that truly lives up to its name. If you’re in Riverdale, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won’t be disappointed!“

“I returned for Grad School (CAU), needed to rent a book, and saw the newly renovated cafe - now Woodie's.

In partnership with Bon Appétit, the menu offers breakfast sandwiches, house-made pastries, chef-inspired soups, and signature sandwiches. The presence of Starbucks (a few Vegan items is impressive. This is a wonderful and quick option for the AUC's academia and residential customers. Extremely easy for anyone's budget.

Woodi Café is located on the main level to your left upon entry. Be intentional with the library's food and beverage policy on where consumption is allowed. They offer a dedicated dining area with charging outlets.

The employees are serving up great service. Hours of operation: Mondays-Thursday 8A-8P and Fridays 8A-3P.“

“Loved it!! Great food experience!“
