50 Best Cafes near Forest Park

“The new renovation is incredible! I absolutely love the friendly staff—they're fluent in both English and Spanish. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the food is downright delicious. Everything is super healthy, and it tastes fantastic. The energizing and refreshing teas offer numerous benefits, from fat burning to boosting collagen and energy! I indulged in the berry beauty tea, and I couldn't resist going back today to try the donuts—they were absolutely amazing! This place is definitely a top choice for guilt-free dining!“

Parking: Parking can be challenging depending on the time and day...“

“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!“

“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!“

“This is a great little coffee spot, I stopped in with my 7 year old for a cream cheese bagel and coffee for breakfast and we'll definitely stop in again if we are in the area! The location is on the 2nd floor (which I might have missed when looking for a coffee shop locally to me on Google maps) so dont walk around the building looking for it lol!“

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

“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. It’s feels like what a homey coffee shop should feel like. It doesn’t try too hard to be cool. It just simply is. It’s my fav place to grab a drink, pastry and chat with my friends. They also have trivia night, and idk what the schedule is but they’ve also had local musicians play. It’s easily becoming my favorite coffee shop.“

“Everytime I come into Rosie’s , it’s always a warm welcome and great service . I always recommend Nyah as your server !“

“Although I have been passing this gem for years, literally, I had lunch here at the invitation of a colleague. Loved the service. One of their specialties, chicken and waffles was divine. It came out hot. Well seasoned, crispy skin. Belgium waffles with a crisp on the edges and a moist center. Topped with fresh strawberries and pecans. Assorted syrups were available. I will return.“

“The atmosphere, the delicious breakfast and the excellent service. Faith was our server. So friendly and nice. The background music was good and not too loud 👍 Great experience“

“I ordered the Basil Fried Rice with shrimp and it was soooooo damn good! Seasoned well, loads of veggies and big shrimp! The portion that was given was HUGE...I couldn't make a dent in it! Next time I'm in town...Hot Cafe will be my FIRST stop!“

“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. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“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.“

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

“The Food and Customer Service is Excellent! If you haven't been you're missing out! A great Community restaurant. Hidden Gem! Try the Jerk Chicken!! Or whitening! Or Ox-tails! Just go try everything!!!“

“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!“

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

“always a delight to enjoy 😉“

“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 !!!!!!!“

“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!“

“I would like too be apart of the team“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“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!“

“Thank you Sports and Social for hosting us before the Braves game. This place is always packed for games so get there early! (like 3 hours) I like sitting at the bar and too avoid the wait, that's where we headed. The main bar under the TV's was agreat spot to watch sports. It works and is NOT like the front row of a movie theater. Our Bartender was Taylor, a pretty young lady. She made our drinks and asked if we wanted food. The drinks were tasty and made quickly. I tried the 'Baos' my friend ordered and they were delicious as well. We were there until game time, then it was a quick walk (about 50ft) across the door into the stadium. Taylor took care of us the whole time and checked on us consistently. Previously, I've had bad service there, so I don't come very often. Due to this experience I will return sooner. Please give Taylor some kudos! Great job“

“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!“

“We had a quick layover and walked by Sojourners. We loved the 90s hip hop music they were playing and decided to get some drinks. So happy we did! Our server, bartender, and entertainer, MARGO, was awesome! She was a total vibe in the whole Atlanta Airport!“

“Juliea was the girl who helped me when I stopped by Brioche Dorée in the ATL airport. She assisted me when I needed something specific to eat. She was very eager to help and did so with a wonderful attitude. I’m so grateful I stopped by simply because she helped start my day of travel off on a positive note. Thank You!!“

“The cinnamon roll French toast was devine! My iced hazelnut coffee was the cherry on top!“

“Saw this place on TikTok and had to come during the cocktail hours. On TikTok it seemed speakeasy vibes and moody which is what I wanted but with coming in, the music was a bit louder than I’d like, to the point I couldn’t hear my friends but when overlooking at the volume level this place is actually pretty nice. Love that the drinks were Asian esque. You cannot beat the price of drinks at all. Also if you’re here after 9pm, next door has pizza for $3! Also to note, you can’t sit on the couches unless you’re a big party, we were there for an hour and no one was sitting on it. Although the couch only seems to fit three people, it’d be nice to be able to sit on it.“

“Loved it!! Great food experience!“

“I had the jerk chicken and vegetable rice food was good but the price is too much“

“One of the best pho in town!! Friendly services and their ice coffee is STRONG!!“

“Delicious French Classics abs an amazing wine selection. ❤️❤️❤️“

“Nice atmosphere and better than expected“

“Amazing customer service. A variety of items on the menu. I had the catfish and grits. Fish seasoned well and fried hard like I like it. Grits were very creamy and thick and seasoned to perfection. Definitely will return. Also tried the sweet potato pancake and it was delicious.“
