    Chicken Chorizo Breakfast Burrito
    Anna M.

    This was my first time coming to Banjo. There is parking available upfront, free of charge. There are 3 big benches & 6 round tables outside for seating. There is a good amount of seating inside as well, including 8 bar seats looking outside the windows (not pictured). There are a few outlets available inside. The breakfast burrito was excellent--great texture and flavor. Our lattes were great. The espresso flavor is so good you don't even need any flavors added. I just got some simple syrup and that was enough:) would definitely come again for the coffee and the good vibes of the shaded outdoor patio. Would recommend!

    OK, so this is clearly the most popular neighborhood spots. They may as well have a revolving front door! My daughter is doing day camp in Decatur, so I decided to spend the morning at a coffee shop. I chose banjo because it seemed to have good seating plus a dedicated parking lot. However, I did not account for how busy the place would be. If you're looking for a place to either meet up with a friend or get a little work done while you also get your caffeine fixed, this is a great option. If you need quiet in order to work, maybe not so much. We were here from about 9:30 AM to 11 AM, and the traffic slowed a little, but never once stopped. As you can see from my pictures, the biscuits are huge and fluffy. They are also delicious! The coffee drinks were beautifully made and also delicious. Highly recommend this place!

    Got so happy seeing they offer decaf coffee. This is my lane. I will be back for some lattes.

    My new favorite coffee shop. Great, friendly service. Easy checkout. Nice quaint layout with a nice patio. Love the artwork on the walls. Especially the banjos. Really nice touch. I'm currently hooked on the vegetable sausage egg & cheese biscuit. This was my 2nd time this week enjoying this sandwich. Then discovered they offer decaf coffee. Looking forward to trying some of their lattes.

    Very cool inside and delicious coffee that I've never seen on a menu before. Avondale heights always surprises me and Banjo was no different. Went on A Friday morning and I haven't been in a coffee shop line that long in a minute. They were crowded, not slow to be clear. Muffin was tasty and the pastries looked good overall.

    I've been here twice and ordered an iced coffee with vanilla each time. And each time it had a bitter taste. The service is good and fast. But I don't recommend their iced coffee. Parking is tight. The inside is clean and quiet.

    Things you should know: I. PARKING There's a free private parking lot in front of the business; however, parking is very limited. If you cannot find a space out front, try parking on the street (Locust St), left of the building. II. SERVICE Timely III. QUALITY The coffee was perfect. I had an Americano and it was pleasantly acidic and dense. Their cappuccino was also ratioed well. Atmosphere-wise? The interior is great. Except.. Everywhere I go I have to inevitably use the bathroom.. I wish I didn't have to use theirs. The floor was wet. The only accessible toilet paper was thrown on the back of the toilet seat and not in the holder bin. It looked as if they were in the process of renovating it but it was still incomplete with blue tape everywhere. It just didn't feel clean. Hope it improves. IV. CAPACITY The place was filled on a weekday morning up until noon, then the crowd started dying down.

    Nice location at Avondale, the place is a real coffee bar, it has interior and exterior ambience, great for family and friends, fast and friendly service, the coffee was roasted

    I love their iced lavender honey latte and breakfast burrito ;with bacon). The burrito comes within an amazing salsa verde on the side the customer service is wonderful.

    3.8/5 Food: Found this place on Yelp and just had to try! I had the chicken chorizo burrito and the cinnamon roll w/ the vanilla bourbon latte w/ oat milk. My partner had the breakfast biscuit with bacon and the butterfly lavender latte. The vanilla bourbon latte was pretty good, I would definitely get it again and add a lil more flavoring. The burrito was just okay, very oily (ruined my top and pants) and I wasn't a fan of how minced the meat was. My partner thoroughly enjoyed his biscuit but wished they gave jam with it, but he did not like his drink. I had to go in and ask for some simple syrup on the side to go into it. So heads up, order sweetener or flavoring for the latte. Service: Since it was busy, all the workers were working hard but did pay attention to requests when asked. The cashier was very helpful when ordering, and even sold me the last cinnamon roll in the display case when I asked for one (which was really good warmed). Ambiance/Parking: It's a really cute, small cafe with minimal sitting inside and out. The parking lot has limited spaces but there is street parking on the side of the building. Overall: I would come back and try the breakfast biscuit and the lavender honey latte next.

    Cute little coffee shop right across from the farmers market. Prices were a little high but my salted caramel was coffee was really good and not too sweet. They have a really good espresso machine in there and they have some seating but it's a bit of a tight fit.

    I stopped by PERC specifically to try their popular Crunchwrap, and it did not disappoint! The…read moreCrunchwrap was $9, and the combination of egg, hash brown, cheese, and their special sauce wrapped inside a toasted tortilla was delicious. Everything worked really well together, and I can definitely understand why it gets so much attention. I also tried one of their seasonal iced coffees for $6.50 that was inspired by a root beer float. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but it was so good! It actually reminded me of a root beer float while still tasting like coffee, which made for a fun combination. Customer service was great. The cashier was friendly, welcoming, and answered all of my questions while I was deciding what to order. The coffee shop itself has a casual, comfortable atmosphere with plenty of seating. I could easily see myself coming here with my laptop and getting some work done. My only little complaint was that it was VERY cold inside, so I'd probably bring a sweater next time! Parking was also a plus. There's street parking available as well as plenty of parking in the shared lot, so finding a spot wasn't an issue during my visit. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at PERC. The Crunchwrap lived up to the hype, my seasonal coffee was delicious, and the service was friendly. My only hesitation is the pricing. At $9 for the Crunchwrap and $6.50 for the coffee, I thought both were a little pricey for what they were. I enjoyed everything enough that I'd still come back, but the value keeps this from being a five-star experience for me.

    I've never done a review in real time before, but since I'm sitting here at Perc for the second day…read morein a row, what better time than the present? Let's get into it! Location and Parking Perc has a few locations, I have been to the location in Tucker, I am currently writing this review while at the East Lake location, which is located at the intersection of Hosea Williams Drive and Second Ave. There are a few spaces to park on the street but there is also a parking lot with plenty of free spaces. Venue and Atmosphere From the first time I stepped in to Perc, they had me. From the bright colors of the coffee bags, to the airiness of the space and the great playlist (think Snoh Aalegra, Thee Sacred Souls, and Cleo Sol). At the East Lake location there is plenty of seating inside, and also outside seating, which I opted for both times that I came, gotta enjoy this good weather right? Food and drinks I had the same thing both days, the Good Times Latte with a little extra syrup and the Crunch Wrap. I am not being dramatic when I say that the Crunch Wrap is hands down one of the BEST breakfast items I've had at any coffee shop I've been to. That probably sounds like hyperbole, but at one point I was going to a new coffee shop every week, so I promise it's not. It's eggs, cheese, hash browns, your choice of sausage or bacon (can't go wrong with either), and their special Perc sauce wrapped into a tortilla and griddled to perfection, and from the first bite to the last perfection it is. The latte is made with their in house vanilla lavender syrup and it is just the perfect amount of sweetness that I like. Service Service is fast and friendly, and they will complement your outfit, so wear something cool. Verdict If coming back twice in a row isn't an indicator that I plan to be a regular here then I'm not sure what is lol. Come here for the coffee and food, stay for the vibes. I know I will! Until next time!

    Was in the area for brunch and heard that their bagels are really good - safe to say I can agree…read morewith them!!! I got their zataar bagel with the roasted garlic and chive schmear, and it was an amazing savory combo. There's only a handful of tables and a few bar seating, so I wouldn't say it's a studying cafe- more of like a grab and go or sip your coffee with bagel type place. Cashier was super friendly when I asked her recommendations. I tried their homemade lavender syrup in a latte. At first, I didn't think it was sweet at all and just tasted like coffee. But you definitely need to mix it with a straw. The lavender taste was lovely, sweet, and not synthetic at all. Next time, I want to try the orange creamsicle which is their seasonal syrup and comes with marshmallow foam.

There was a healthy amount of fresh green lettuce, with red onions , topped off with a not to spicy lite sauce. All of which was served in a Pita Bread This business is handicapped friendly and accessible. There is table in the front that accommodated my walker, but I believe would not work for a wheeler. I was also able to maneuver to the Rest Room with no problems. The establishment is meticulously maintained. No staff person is standing around, and all the stations are monitored. The staff is professional and communicates well. I actually had a good time window watching; also there are tables outside. Right next to Decatur Marta Station you can't miss it. Highly RECOMMEND!
