45 Best Cafes near Forest Park

“Ms Bertha is always so kind and welcoming from the time you arrive to the time you leave!
The energy teas are so good & give you a good clean energy boost throughout the day without feeling glittery or crashing! The protein donuts are also delicious & keep you full! Love this place!“

“Home cooked food. You can definitely tell the difference between chain restaurants. They have an awesome selection and it is delicious and filling. Don't judge by the outside. Your best spots in Atlanta are going to be these mom and pop spots.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Don’t let the modest exterior fool you—this place serves some of the best Thai food in Georgia!

My brother and I both ordered the Massaman curry, one with chicken and the other with beef, and both were outstanding. The curry was packed with flavor without being overly sweet, with a wonderfully balanced blend of spices and perfectly cooked carrots, onions, and potatoes. The beef and chicken were both tender and generous.

And an extra point for the cashews sprinkled on top. Many Thai restaurants use peanuts, but the cashews add a delicious richness and crunch.

This place is the real deal—authentic, flavorful, generous portions, and clearly a kitchen that knows what it’s doing. Come hungry… and wear your stretchy pants!“

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

Having been a regular diner for over eight years, I can attest that it consistently delivers outstanding cuisine without wavering.As a Representative in the Georgia House of Representatives from Savannah, Ga. this has been my food haven away from home.“

“My favorite place ever. The vibes are wonderful always! During the day you can study, work or enjoy the weather outside and during the evening you can relax with a beer. Gigi and Connor are the best baristas and definitely hope Butler is cooking your breakfast. Would recommend!!!“

“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!“

“Okay, so I've been using fitnutrition4u for a few years now, and I have some thoughts. I really love their wide selection of supplements; there's something for everyone, honestly. I always get the lift offs on my energy teas. Plus, the prices are pretty competitive, which is always a bonus when you're trying to stay healthy. It's got great location off I-75 N/S if you're on your way to work. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking them out!“

“👍🏾The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is friendly!“

“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. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“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…🤓“

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

“always a delight to enjoy 😉“

“We had just flown in from Austin to Atlanta and it was late so we wanted something to eat, we decided on Kenny’s. I was awestruck when we walked in, I could tell they were going for a “run-down” aesthetic and it totally worked. Most of the restaurant was a dance floor, that’s the only reason half the rooms would be empty, and random things like a ladder and a paint can were around the area for us to find. The 70s movie about heroin really added to the vibe. We were completely alone which must mean that everyone else ate it so fast that they were already gone. I ordered chicken tenders and fries. I could tell this was a high end hole in the wall because of the empty cafeteria style serving area and the exclusive use of to-go foam trays. The two men behind the counter had thick Mexican accents one wore a nirvana shirt, how fancy! When I went to go get my drink I was amazed to see that they had three flavors of kool-aid! I’ve never seen a restaurant like that! We sat down at one of the 5 tables in the 4 large rooms. After a short time our food came, when I tried it I understood how it was a tribute to mid food everywhere, it was profoundly meh 🫤 I was enchanted. Then we left.“

“This restaurant offers absolutely unique raw vegan food. It takes time to prepare but the wait is so worth it! The owner Judy (I hope I spelled her name correctly) is very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place if you are into raw foods or just curious about it. We tried: stuffed avocado, nori rolls, vitality soup, seaweed soup, spinach salad, kale salad, lasagna, nachos, brownies and sea moss drink. Everything was absolutely delicious! My favourite so far is the nachos and brownies.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Loved it!! Great food experience!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“They pushing 5 star. Great service, clean place, good menu for a market grocery connection.
Grouper sandwich top tier. I’d reorder. Crispy, fresh, filling, fair price.
Oreo cake slappin. 10/10. I thought it was white cake inside (I prefer) but it’s chocolate. I typically don’t like chocolate cake but this one hit. Slice could’ve been a bit thicker for price.
Didn’t like the look/taste of the chicken sandwich. Super comminuted. Not what I expected. The chibata bread was hard to chew, cheese thick.
Line forms at the door. I’d recommend this place. Good quick bites.“

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

“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 !!!!!!!“

“Food was fresh and tasteful! Healthy eating done right. The young lady at the register displayed great customer service, patience and even made me laugh without evening knowing. She worked the room great and greeted us all. When she stopped to check an employee that was disrespectful she did it so professionally and without missing a beat with us customers lol, and switched right back into giving great customer service!!. She reminded me of myself with that, I smiled proudly ☺“

“We stopped by STEREO to get coffee to enjoy with the delicious treats we had just picked up from a gluten-free bakery, and it was such a great decision! ☕🥰
The coffee was surprisingly affordable, and honestly, it may have been some of the best coffee I have ever had! I ordered a white chocolate mocha, and I can truly say it was the best mocha I have ever tried. It was absolutely delicious! The white chocolate flavor was perfect and not overwhelmed by the coffee—it had just the right balance, exactly how I like it.
My husband ordered a cinnamon honey coffee, and his was also amazing! 🍯☕
Great coffee, wonderful flavors, and very reasonable prices. We were so happy we stopped by and would definitely come back! Highly recommend! 🤍✨“

“Market Cafe is a convenient little spot for a quick breakfast or casual lunch. The menu is simple with sandwiches, coffee, and light bites that are fresh and satisfying. I liked the relaxed, no-frills atmosphere—it’s perfect if you just want something quick without a long wait. Service was friendly and efficient. A solid stop when you need an easy meal in the area.“

“Love this place!! The food was fresh and delicious. They have a lot of variety that you can choose. They also have cake and smoothie too 🥰😍😋“

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

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

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

“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.“

“One of the best burgers I’ve ever had, really, and the price is On Point for the quality of food! This juicy burger was a special today, beef with brisket and hand cut fries, very delicious! The chefs really do a great job here. I really love trying their daily specials because they knock it out the park.“

“Everything about this place was awesome! I got avocado toast, and my husband got the barbecoa bowl. We both loved our food. The environment was super nice, our server was kind and attentive. The watermelon wake-up juice was easily my favorite part if the experience. If you are looking for healthy, and filling food that is 10/10 and reasonably priced, this is your spot!“
