The guy barista explained the differences between espresso, latte, and americano. I ordered the popular brown butter hot latte, which I really enjoyed. It's a quiet place to grab a table and a coffee and study, read, work, or just sit and enjoy your coffee.

I was in Kennesaw song a little shopping and figure I would check out a new coffee shop. I don't…read moreparticularly care for the location of the shop. It's in a small plaza. I can see parking being an issue on days that all of the businesses are open. However, I arrived close to closing time and had no problem parking directly in front of the shop. When I entered I immediately appreciated the decor. It gives tropical rainforest vibes! When I appreciated the counter I was greeted. There were two staff present. The gentleman appears to be a more seasoned employee and the female appeared to be in training. After looking at the menu I opted for a pistachio latte with oat milk and empanadas. I was told that they would be closing shortly. I believe I had about 30 min prior to closing time. This was more than enjoy time for me to drink a drink and eat my food. As such, I opted to dine in. The empanadas came out first. They were not my style. The pastry part was more like a corn bread consistency. I am accustomed to to emphasis being more of a dough like consistency. Additionally they tasted like something you just pull out the freezer and warm up. I would not order them again. When the drink arrived I had to confirm it was pistachio because I saw chocolate everywhere. The staff immediately recalled that I did not want whole milk and told me he had to re- make my drink. When it arrived for the second time the presentation was the same- it looked like a chocolate drink and not pistachio. When I took a sip I was shocked to find chunks of pistachios in the drink. I had to drink and eat the drink- interesting concept. I will say that the coffee taste on its own may be okay- however, collectively I was not a fan of this drink. Overall I do not have the best experience with the food or drink from this spot. I do give kudos for the ambiance and the service!

I found this cute little place on Google and decided to give it a try. I spent six months deployed…read morein the Middle East and absolutely loved the coffee and pastries there, so I was really excited to see what this place had to offer. Best decision ever! I got the Korean-style coffee and a Dubai chocolate croissant, and both were delicious. The croissant was HUGE and I couldn't even finish it, so the value is definitely there. I'm already excited to go back and try the strawberries and cream croissant and the Biscoff latte. The guy at the register was so nice! They also offer curbside pickup, which is super convenient, although I chose to go inside because I wanted to check the place out. It's spacious, nicely decorated, and has a great atmosphere. I could definitely see myself meeting up with friends here. I live in Chicago but visit the area often to see family, so this will absolutely be a staple whenever I'm in town!

I stopped by Baladi Coffee near KSU and tried the Ube Matcha along with a pistachio croissant. The…read morestaff was friendly and guided me in the right direction when I was trying to decide between the mango and ube matcha. The nutty aroma from the ube hit my senses before I even took a sip, and the first taste was everything. I've had a lot of different matchas and love them all for different reasons, but this one is easily in my top favorites. The pistachio croissant was super flaky and filled with pistachio, which made it the perfect pairing with the drink. Really nice spot to relax, grab a drink, and enjoy a pastry.

If you're looking for the softest, fluffiest, tastiest biscuits in Georgia (and honestly the best…read moreI've ever had!), this is the place. Family-owned and operated for generations, they haven't changed a single recipe--and it shows. A true hidden gem in North Georgia! The biscuit sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese is nothing short of a masterpiece. And don't skip the giant cinnamon roll--it's warm, soft, sweet, and has just the right touch of orange undertones. Absolutely mouthwatering. The breakfast bowls are also fantastic; the one I had was loaded with eggs, grits, sausage, and cheese--hearty, flavorful, and comforting. The inside is funky and cute with outdoor and indoor casual seating. I didn't see anyone really eating inside, just waiting for their food to go. We ordered at the counter and the staff was so nice! We had kids with us so waiting outside and the staff brought the bag out to us, very kind and helpful! Pro tip: Get there early! This spot is popular and only open for a limited time each day, but it is absolutely worth the trip.

The restaurant is really small. Not a place I would sit in to dine especially on the weekends as it was packed. There was a long line but it did not deter me from ordering. They moved fast. After ordering I stepped outside until the inside cleared a bit. It never did lol and it was somewhat chilly so I stepped back in. The wait was maybe 10 minutes not too long. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit and a smoked sausage biscuit. They were really good. Soft, buttery biscuit. Also the meats were cooked well. The egg was scrambled nicely. I would definitely go back.

This is the BEST restaurant. It's the kind of Indian food you would have to drive to Atlanta proper…read moreto find except it's right here in the suburbs. Very authentic, flavorful, spiced well, and presented really nicely. The staff is friendly and very attentive making sure that you have everything you need but also let you relax and enjoy your time. They have pretty hanging flowers and cozy booths. Nothing else exists like this in the northern suburbs. It's truly more of a city vibe with really good flavors- not the watered down type of Indian food we can sometimes see out here. Totally recommend the masala dosas and paneer dishes. They also have gluten free items which is very important to me but then definitely have tons to eat for those who aren't gluten free. Really excellent food and experience! So glad that this restaurant is here! Highly recommended!
