Let me tell you first that I really, REALLY wanted to like this place. Enough that for a place that…read moreis 30-40 minutes drive away and otherwise never set foot, I've been following their social media handles even before the new management opened up shop last summer. However, the last few visits have been frustrating, each with its won nuances, and based on these failed attempts, I most definitely will not go back. It honestly has less to do with the quality of the items offered, but really how this place is operated - so if you don't care about none of that stuff, feel free to pass on this review. My first visit I couldn't even get inside because it was closed - I was by during the early afternoon hours that it was advertised to be open and it was a good few weeks past their soft opening. The second time, I call ahead but there's no one answering the phone. So I cross my fingers and was estatic for a split second when I could open the front door... until I find that only the door was open, but the cafe really wasn't since they apparently were closed for a private event. I later found out they post closings on their Facebook page. So third times the charm right? Nope - even after I check their page to see no early closings, I arrive about quarter til 1pm on a Friday afternoon to find I made it "just in time" before closing at the hour. Okay, maybe my timing is really unlucky - so I suck it up (for the time being). I attempt to order a cookies & cream frappe that was featured on their site. Not available. I ask, what other frappes? None, say staff. I ask for decaf latte. Yep - actually just kidding, nope, decaf grounds take time to prepare (aka not worth their time I guess). So, really I am left with ice or hot coffee. Okay, at this point as much I want to storm out the cafe - I am reminded that one of the owners from the second visit offered a free drink coupon (at this point my Yelp brain is saying, okay this Is at least is a 3 star review). I think, let me just get a drink and get outta here. Bless her heart, the barista I've been going back and forth tells me she happened to brew decaf coffee earlier and could make iced coffee with it. I am thinking - what saving grace, that stuff I would actually order - great, let's do that. Here comes the finale - I had told the staff that I was going to redeem this drink coupon as I said yes to the decaf iced coffee. Clearly, that did not reach her. She tells me that she doesn't know how to undo the transaction and clearly, she is anxious as I am in a slightly different sense - I had insight from the earlier TMI when she told me she is almost late for her game at 1. Okay, as the slightly more adult person here I tell her alright, I will pay but I want the management to follow-up and issue me refund. Thank goodness I proposed this cause guess what, amongst all the tension everything was a-OK since I didn't pay. I guess she thought I did and was trying to tell me she couldn't process refunds. I tried to tie a bow on this as best as I could - I tipped the poor girl 20% and wished her luck on her game. I hope I made it clear that my built up frustration wasn't aimed at her, as I tried to explain in between our unnecessarily long interactions. Oh, did I tell you the staff are not masked in January when vaccines were still limited to healthcare staff? Not the staff nor her companion. Goodness - at least I was wearing one. TMI 2 - no wonder another staff contracted COVID-19. All I can say is - good luck at your own risk, future patrons.

I stopped by Senoia Coffee while I was in town for a couple of days and wanted to try a local spot,…read moreand I'm really glad I did. It's such a cute place. You order at the counter, grab a seat, and they call your name when your coffee is ready. The girls behind the counter were super sweet and made everything feel really welcoming. I got a vanilla latte with oat milk and a veggie bowl. The coffee was good, but the veggie bowl was honestly delicious--eggs, avocado, feta, tomatoes, and a few other things mixed in. Simple, fresh, and really satisfying. They bring the food out to wherever you're sitting, which was a nice touch and made it easy to just relax and enjoy breakfast. Overall, it was just a really pleasant place to start the day. If I'm ever back in the area, I'll definitely be coming back here.

A Disappointing Decline: Disgusting! Sick, Overpriced, and Unacceptable!…read more After visiting the Blackbird Cafe over the last 10 years with fond memories, my visit today was the worst dining experience I can recall. The restaurant seems to have lost its way completely, offering poor hygiene, terrible service, and food that made me physically lose what little I did eat on the drive home. Service & Atmosphere: The venue was eerily empty with water on the floor. The staff was sparse and the one that was present was sitting at a table on their phone when we entered. It appeared much like they were disinterested; we were seated by someone who took our drink order she never returned, Another server brought our drink order. The shift to a "Mexican" menu felt rushed and unpolished. The Food Quality: NONE - ZERO STARS!!!! * Burrito Supreme: Lacked any authentic flavor. The meat tasted like burnt, canned Hormel chili. The tortilla was chewy, and the guacamole tasted like cheap mayonnaise. The flavor profile was so poor I became nauseous and had to stop eating. * Quesadillas: These were essentially folded flour tortillas with dry, chewy chicken chunks and bland cheese. There was zero seasoning. The portions were laughably small (approx. 1/4 cup of chicken per quesadilla), and the cheese didn't even hold the filling together. Value for Money: POOR! We WASTED $52 for a burrito/2 half quesadillas (without sides), two sodas, and a negative health experience. The food quality was worse than low end fast food Mexican Food Chains. Outcome: POOR!!!!!! The meal was so bad that I ended up throwing up on the way home. Recommendation: If you value your money, your taste buds, and your stomach, DO NOT GO HERE. I cannot recommend this restaurant in any capacity.

Starbucks got rid of the additional charge for switching milks, I wish everywhere else did also. As far as the drink, it was a subtle taste of lavender, but delicious! I love their coffee. FOOD (4/5): $4.50 HONEY CHEESE MOCHI PANCAKE: this is a BEST SELLER for a reason! If you love the chewy taste of mochi, you will LOVE this! It's warm, chewy, slightly sweet from the honey, and has a ton of cream cheese in the center. 10/10!!! $4.25 SAUSAGE ONION PASTRY: in the hot case. Savory hot dog wrapped in cheese and onions on top a flaky pastry with slightly sweet ketchup or bbq sauce on top. Perfect light breakfast bite. $3.50 CURRY CROQUETTE: Crispy on the outside & soft on the inside (I recommend reheating in the oven @ 425 for 10 min). I wish there was more curry inside, but still tasty! Light & savory. $3.75 STRAWBERRY SOFT BREAD: SUPER SOFT & FLUFFY! Filled with a light strawberry cream, not too overpowering. It's simple, but addicting! I keep coming back for it. SERVICE (3/5): It's odd they charge for tip at the register when it's a self-serve business, although I did see them refilling the pastry cases & they do make the coffee. On the weekends it gets busy, tons of turnover, but the tables were DIRTY! They need to be better about wiping them down more often. OVERALL (4/5): Love this place! You can get a coffee and pastry for $10! What a steal. Lots of pastry options for everyone, both sweet and savory. Perfect for a special occasion if you want a single slice of cake or a whole one or small treat! Fancy feel, but very affordable.
