I don't mind paying a bit more when an establishment actually delivers on value. Haven is a bodega where stellar customer service and tasty food are plentiful. It has limited seating. I mainly order sandwiches but have also tried lattes and baked goods from local bakers. I appreciate that Haven offers quality assorted fruits as a side option when you order a combo. If you ever have an issue, however small, the staff will work to make sure you're satisfied. read more

I absolutely love this spot in downtown Lilburn!! It is so cute inside and a very nice vibe ambiance. I have come here to just chill on the couch, get work done, or take a look at the food and drinks! I decided to try this sandwich and it was made very fresh! I'm not the biggest fan of all the cheese (just not for me), but I was a big fan of the sourdough bread!! I would go back for their cookies/brownies or to just chill inside and enjoy the vibes! The service is also super patient and welcoming also! I will be back again and again!! read more

Haven Bodega - Delis Near Me - Lilburn, Georgia

Food: Good Service: Good Ambiance: Nice and clean Pricey but good. I came here on a Sunday afternoon and was greeted by kind service. I was happy to find free parking in front, and it was peaceful on the inside. I ordered a caramel apple latte with coconut milk and the garam masala chicken salad sandwich. The latter was ok. The coconut milk has a bit of an aftertaste as if it was canned and that overpowered the caramel apple flavor. The sandwich was lovely. It was perfect and delicious. It had a healthy portion of juicy, chopped piece of chicken - not sliced processed deli meat chicken. The ciabatta bread was perfectly crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, not think and hard at all. It was $18 but very satisfactory - to be expected when using fresh ingredients. For $1.50 more to can make it a combo with an additional drink and cookie or chips. I upgraded to the combo and got a bottle of water with a white chocolate cinnamon cookie. It was firm but a little chewy with a good taste. read more

Absolutely positively, a breath of fresh air finding a sweet little hole in the whole gem like here. Food is exceptional, drinks are great but the ambience and cozy, warm welcome is undefeated. Visiting for the second time today and it literally feels like you're grabbing a bite from an old friends spot. Also... important to mention... KILLER playlist ! ‍ Come support ! Also try the house jam. It's fire on the side of your sandwich. They sell it in jars too. read more

Haven Bodega - Roast beef panini. - Delis Near Me - Lilburn, Georgia

Second time back and just as impressed! Stopped in again while I was in the area, and it confirmed what I felt the first time -- this place is something special. The staff is absolutely top-notch -- welcoming, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. I had the chance to meet the owner this time, and hearing his vision firsthand was inspiring. He's built this spot with intention: quality food, a team that genuinely cares, and a vibe that's all heart. The food? Still outstanding. Creative, high-quality options you don't see just anywhere -- everything feels thoughtfully curated. Add in the great atmosphere, and it's a place you just want to keep coming back to. Highly recommend! read more

Cute, cozy spot with a friendly staff that greets you when you walk in. It's family friendly and does have some seating. It was busy when we walked in with nowhere to sit but by the time our sandwiches were ready, a table cleared up. I got the chai with oat milk which the staff gave me some background about and I like that you can have them sweeten it to your liking since they brew it in-house rather than using a premade concentrate. We got the Cajun turkey with pimento on ciabatta and garam masala chicken salad melt on ciabatta. Both were delicious. They also sell wine, beer, snacks, locally made jams and spices, art, and other locally sourced artisan goods. Loved this place and will definitely be back. read more

Wow! It's places like these that make me realize the importance of my role as a Yelp Eliter/ Allstar. This place is a local GEM. Plain and simple. And it's OUR jobs to shed light on these fabulous small businesses! What I miss most about my college/ grad school towns, is the quaint, small-town, community-supported vibes you get and the connection you are able to form with your community by not only shopping locally but by building a relationship with the people and places you live. Not only is Haven a delicious, well-serviced food spot, it is a community gathering home of unparalleled service, inviting you to connect. I drove across town 30-minutes at rush hour just to make it here for a dinner sandwich, before closing. It was SO worth it. I bought a delicious Cinnamon Danish Pastry and their Signature Turkey Pesto Sandwich-- a popular one! The Owner, Umberto let me taste their homemade Hibicious Lemonade Mix, which was delightful. I can't wait to point friends, family, and fans here to say Haven is SO "WORTH THE DRIVE," and it's going to keep you coming back for more! Congrats on surviving and THRIVING in your first year, Haven. Cheers to many more to come!! Looking forward to joining you guys on one of your last-Fridays of the month events: music, dancing, charcuterie, and wine-- one of these days! EVERYONE Come check them out read more

Came here for the first time yesterday to meet a friend and really liked it. I ordered a gingerbread cappuccino and a sandwich (I can't remember the name, but it was really good!) The place is small but cozy, with a lot to look at. There was another group in there playing Uno. I'd definitely come back to grab coffee and chill again. read more

Great food! Interesting menu items and great coffees! Cute decor and very personable staff. Will definitely go back when in the area.

Haven Bodega is more than a place, it's an experience. One of the most welcoming spots I've ever visited, with a beautiful artistic atmosphere and genuinely friendly staff. I drink coffee daily and have tried coffee around the world, and without a doubt, Haven Bodega has the best cold brew I've ever, had perfectly balanced, smooth, and with no acidic aftertaste. I also love their seasonal specials. The fall apple cider was outstanding, just the right sweetness and the perfect blend of spices. Plus, I found unique handcrafted items like preserves and artisan accessories. Hands down, my favorite spot in Lilburn! read more

Haven Bodega is exactly what you'd expect from a hip, trendy spot in the heart of Historic Downtown Lilburn, a charming little shop that screams, " I sell artisanal everything!" True to its name, it's a haven for high-end snacks, cheeses, meats, and more. Plus, it's got a deli in the back and a cafe upfront. Let's talk about the main attraction: the deli. Their sandwiches are legit. High-quality ingredients, fresh flavors, and a solid deal (you get a sandwich, a drink, and your choice of chips or a cookie). Oh, and if you're willing to part with just $1 more, you can upgrade to a cafe drink as your "free drink." Instead of getting a boring bottle of water, you can order a latte to enjoy your sandwich for a $1 more. I tried their Roast Beef with Goat Cheese and Dill Spread. It was a flavor bomb. Served on fluffy focaccia bread, it features roast beef, dill spread, arugula, tomato, and balsamic. It's fresh and well made. I think the focaccia was a nice touch. It really brings it together for me. The Italian sandwich was another winner. Packed with salami, capicola, prosciutto, provolone, arugula, tomato, and banana peppers, all on a soft sub roll. The meats were fresh and flavorful. For sides, you can grab chips like Zapp's, Route 11, or the humble Baked Lays. But let's not forget the freshly baked cookies, which are a solid alternative if you want something sweet instead of salty for your sandwich. If you're more of a breakfast fan, you're in luck. Haven Bodega's got an all-day breakfast menu featuring croissant and bagel sandwiches. If you prefer eating croissants instead of sub rolls, this is a good choice. Now, onto the cafe. I tried their latte and matcha latte. They got milk options for the lactose-intolerant crew (Almond and Oat Milk), which I really appreciate. The matcha latte was great, it leaned savory instead of sweet. At first, I wasn't sure what to think, but it wasn't bitter and ended up being surprisingly satisfying. Who knew non-sweet matcha could be this good? The latte was good too. It was just a good, solid latte. The staff here are incredibly kind and welcoming. It's got that small-town, suburban charm with a hipster twist. Haven Bodega is definitely a spot I'd visit again when I'm in the area. Whether you're after a great sandwich, a solid latte, or just some bougie snacks to impress your friends, this place has you covered. read more

Welcoming cafe with a small specialty foods shop. Very good sandwich, worth getting an upgrade for a drink and a bakery cookie. I will come back to try a breakfast sandwich and coffee. Great location on Main Street of Lilburn. read more

This is my first "bodega" experience and it's cute. Super friendly staff/owners who seem to enjoy the craftiness this place delivers and enjoy spending time chatting with their customers. The menu of sandwiches are basic sounding and I was worried I wouldn't my sandwich was not going to hit the mark. Normally I would never order a turkey and Swiss but it seemed like the best option. It was delicious. Everything blended so well together, the pesto packed a punch of flavor! I also wasn't aware they were going to toast it which was perfect. They also have breakfast sandwiches, good coffee of all kinds, unique dry pantry goods. It's more of a pick up and go place so it is small in there but they do have a nice small seating area at the front. read more

I swung by this adorable little deli cafe market in Old Town Lilburn for lunch today. They have a lot of local goods like Honey, jams, breads, chocolates, and spices. It's a comfy place with a couple board games on the counter for patrons to play. The folks there were super kind and Humberto, the owner, is highly invested in the people and town, working with so many local vendors and neighbours. I ordered and Italian sub and it was fantastic. Looking forward to swinging by for some of their events like charcuterie classes and wine tastings ! read more

The perfect local hangout with a lot of personality!The staff at Haven Bodega were so welcoming and accommodating. We tried three specialty sandwiches and loved them all! The roast beef with goat cheese on focaccia was delightful. The bread was soft and bouncy fresh with the perfect mixture of flavors. The Cajun turkey with pimento cheese on ciabatta was my favorite. A flavor explosion that melts in your mouth. Our third sandwich was the turkey on sourdough. Fresh and satisfying. Haven Bodega has a wide variety of chips, cookies, muffins, and drinks. Grab your favorites for a picnic at the park. They also have a whimsy selection of gifts, spices, jellies, etc. They are a welcome addition to Downtown Lilburn. read more

Excellent! Popped over here after my haircut and it was fantastic. My latte was great and the lox bagel is amazing. read more

Just what downtown Lilburn needed, and Haven Bodega has been there long enough now to have proven itself. Just off Main Street and the park walking trail, the Bodega is a great place to have a quick brunch on Sunday (we favor lattes and the ham and cheddar melt on a croissant), coffee on your way to work, or a selection of gourmet sandwiches for a quick pick-up lunch or dinner. There are cooking classes, quick artisan gifts, a curated wine bottle selection and often fresh sourdough bread to take home. This is a true community/neighborhood spot. read more

Amazing food, cool decor and friendly staff. I'd recommend getting the lox and some of the snacks near the register! They have a bunch of cool wines and locally made art as well. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a nice place to catch up with friends. read more

Haven't visited in a bit, BUT worry not, I'm coming soon. Very soon! Been a busy summer y'all. Anyways, Haven Bodega is one cool spot that makes me and my nieces love coming back. The food is next level delish and the coffee is awesome tasting and gets me going as it's supposed to. Then there's the staff. They're all great - James, Sam, Humberto. I think I may have forgotten 2 or 3 others? Love talking to them. Great place to just hang out. Their shelves also have other really good cakes, condiments and snacks etc. Even handbags/purses and other goods. Got 3 for my nieces for this summer and they love them. I don't work here and wasn't asked to write this. I just love being there. See y'all soon. read more

Great new addition to downtown Lilburn with a great little vibe. After several visits we have only had great food. Highlights have been the Foldy's, Roast beef Sandwich, Smoked Salmon Lox Bagel and Hot Chocolate. Staff has always offered very friendly service, and finally, we love that they have high quality grocery items to grab. read more

My friend and I met here for lunch and had a delightful experience from the moment we walked in the door! Ava, the server behind the corner, was warm and welcoming and helpful with the menu. Humberto, one of the owners, was seated at a table next to us, and was also very welcoming and helpful in describing the sandwiches and the locally sourced food, like the amazing sourdough bread in which the sandwiches are made. I had the Garam Masala Chicken sandwich, which was incredibly delicious and a generous portion. My friend had the roast beef and goat cheese sandwich and said it was outstanding. Humberto told us about different events at Haven, such as wine tasting with live music. He even showed us a video of the previous month's wine tasting complete with live music and dancing. My friend and I are definitely returning for that plus some more very good sandwiches. Haven Bodega is a welcoming and unique experience. read more

Vegan options in the form of alternative milks and their deli offers vegan meet and cheese. No vegan pastries, unfortunately. I've been here twice and the employees are always friendly and helpful. I recommend their chai, which is house made masala using a blend from a local down the street. Delicious and nothing like the hyper sweet syrup chai you find in chain coffee places; this stuff is gooooood. read more

Only good coffee and sandwich shop for miles! Quick, easy, and exactly what lilburn needed.

Lovely little sandwich shop, coffee café, and exotic beers parlor. The sandwiches cannot be matched anywhere else in this area. I will try soup of the day next time, maybe a bagel or croissant. Unique and delicious. read more

Old Town Lilburn needed a warm, welcoming and delicious spot like Haven Bodega to grab a quick sandwich, snack, coffee or ingredient! We tried a salami/proscuitto sandwich and a roast beef with goat cheese sandwich - both were huge with fresh, soft focaccia bread and it came with high quality chips and soda (glass bottles and Jarritos options). We enjoyed browsing the shelves while waiting for our meal and can't wait to see what items they stock up on! The owners - Nelson, James, and Humberto are friendly and helpful as they bring the Bodega concept to Lilburn. Haven also serves coffee and source their beans from local roasters. We love the unique offerings in our small historic downtown and can't wait to try more of their artisan deli offerings and coffee flavors! read more

What a wonderful addition to our charming town! I stopped by today and had the pleasure of meeting Nelson, who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. His warm demeanor made the visit even more enjoyable. Although I only had coffee this time, I'm already looking forward to returning soon to try one of their delicious-sounding deli sandwiches. It's exciting to have such a cozy spot right in the heart of our community--I can tell it's going to be a local favorite! read more

Haven Bodega - Delis Near Me - Lilburn, Georgia

Love this cute little spot in the heart of Lilburn. They make an amazing Flat white with Oatmilk. They do have alternative milks. The hot cocoa they use does have dairy in it, so you can't sub plant based milk. They have unique food items from local businesses. There is a deli and they now have some vegan alternatives there for sandwiches with plant based meat and cheese. Have not tried it yet, so I'm unsure of the condiments they have for sandwiches being vegan. I have not seen any vegan baked goods. Sure hope they will get some soon. Since there is a large vegan community in Gwinnett. read more

Food was very good and reasonably priced. Inside and outdoor seating options. Friendly owner who is happy to receive feedback from his patrons. Wine tastings and live music on some weekends. read more
