I called Dolce Spoon and the arrangements were so super easy that I would do it again in a minute! I ordered a half dozen assorted cinnamon buns because my friend is often talking about how she loves cinnamon buns, and my friend was treated to a delicious assortment of super fresh buns early in the morning just after they were baked. Thank you, THANK YOU Dolce Spoon! You made my friend's birthday extra EXTRA special.

I've been seeing Rose Valley Sweets pop up at various local events for quite some time, but I had…read moreabsolutely no clue they had a physical storefront until today! My girls and I decided to drop in on a whim. We had a phenomenal time. If you're looking for the perfect spot for your next girls' day out, this is it. It's a quaint, quiet little shop that invites you to sit, linger, and enjoy the atmosphere. When I walked in, I was immediately excited to see they carried Dubai Strawberries (my absolute favorite!). While I didn't grab them this time, I'll definitely be back for them. I opted for the Pistachio Cream Croissant, which was calling my name the second I walked through the door. It took a little bit of time to arrive, but it was absolutely worth the wait. I suspect they might have even baked it to order! It was the perfect sweet treat without being overly sugary, which is a massive plus in my book. The pistachio flavor was spot on. It was incredibly rich, nuanced, and tasted completely authentic. I paired it with the Hibiscus Tea, which was, quite literally, something made of dreams. Again, it had that perfect balance. It has just enough sweetness to elevate the drink without overpowering it. You can really taste the true, floral notes of the hibiscus. Beyond the stellar food, the vibe is just right. We saw several other groups come in and settle into the space to enjoy their treats, making it a great place to catch up with friends. I'm already planning my next trip back, and mark my words. I will be getting that delicious-looking saffron cake next time! If you're a fan of high-quality desserts that prioritize flavor over excessive sugar, you need to add Rose Valley Sweets to your list. #RoseValleySweets #AtlantaEats #DessertLover #PistachioCroissant #HiddenGem #GirlsDayOut #FoodieFinds #AshSaidIt #SweetTreats #AtlantaFoodScene #ashsaidit #johnscreek #ashsaiditshow

We had an assortment of falafels, spring rolls, baklava, potato salad, and a really nice rose tea served with rock candy. I also ordered an avocado and egg sandwich on the side, but just keep in mind that anything ordered outside of the high tea is an additional cost on top of the set price. The high tea also requires a deposit of half of the total amount in advance. Overall it is definitely worth the experience, and the menu rotates regularly so it is something fun to come back and try again. The owners were also really kind and accommodating, which made the visit even better. My only suggestion would be to add more caffeine free tea options. I was told by one of the staff that all of the teas contain a small amount of caffeine, including the rose tea.

Can be difficult to enter during the coffee rush or during peak church times. --Ambience-- Minimal, wood, natural. timeless design and also free wi-fi. --Service/Staff-- Great staff that gave me recommendations and even showed me some discount pastries. --Products-- Mouth watering pastries to choose from. I wish the products had more meat or filling on the inside, but still a great selection of baked goods. --Capacity-- Capacity to hold only a small number for its size, because of the limited number of available tables. --Overall-- Recommended if you are looking for asian pastries and are coming from the west side. Great place to work or study.

A beautifully adored coffee shop/cafe located in a busy car dealership district but international shopping center/strip. Everything we sampled was delicious! Excellent customer service. Drinks with the freshest ingredients. And such an amazing experience so see so many families, couples, groups of friends and - maybe - business partners patronizing this place. This is definitely one of THE best experiences I've had a cafe in a longggg time! 10/10 Even the restrooms are a 10!

Walking in to this pot and hearing the accent and a warm friendly hello - I knew my craving was to be satisfied. A coffee and toast under 4 dollars respectively is hard to come by these days.

Their regular coffee is good (out of an extensive drink menu including seasonal specials) and they have a decent breakfast menu. I like the variety of seating in this coffeehouse. There's the main room with lots of tables, high-tops, and couch. I definitely appreciate that there's signage on some tables to mind your time of 2 hours if you're working there. There's also a separate sunny porch area that is much quieter than the main room. When the noise level inside got a little loud with music and typical coffeehouse chatter, I moved outside. You'll find plenty of outdoor seating. I just wish there was a little more shade. I came here to meet with friends on a Fri morning. Thankfully parking wasn't too much of an issue but I can see the small private lot being a challenge for large groups. I'm definitely a fan of the pretzel roll I ordered - contrary to its name, it looks like a nothing like a roll but more like a savory flattened croissant which had some slight amount of protein (can't remember if it was chicken or ham) inside. The coffee was good - I try not to be swayed by the beautiful trendy drinks most coffeehouses are serving. I'd certainly come back to this cafe if I were in the area.
