I stopped by Hansel & Gretel Bakery Cafe while attending a work conference in Atlanta and was…read morereally impressed. They have a huge selection of baked goods, pastries, and desserts, with plenty of unique options to choose from. Be sure to go earlier in the day if you can, as many of the most popular items sell out quickly. The café has a trendy, modern atmosphere that makes it a great place to relax with a coffee or specialty drink. The coffee and beverages were excellent and paired perfectly with the pastries. Overall, it's a great spot to visit if you're in Atlanta and looking for high-quality baked goods and a good cup of coffee.

This Hansel and Gretel creates quite a conundrum for me. On one hand, they do bakery items really…read morewell, especially if you like sweets that aren't mind-numbingly sweet. But on the other, it's notably more expensive and the drinks are very lackluster in quality compared to the consistency I've experienced at another location of theirs OTP (Duluth). Traveling to North Atlanta to get a good sweet (I highly recommend no-frills Family Baking in Chamblee) can be a hassle and these prices at this cafe are super reflective of the touristy crowd to which they largely cater. They have an advantage of low competition in the downtown market and again the prices reflect that. If you are a person that follows dessert "trends", prepare to pay more... sorry folks, that's basic economics! But there are still options if you're on the more fundamental side of sweet-seeking. Now, it's still $1-$3 more expensive per item than most other Asian bakeries I've been to and that certainly adds up if you're grabbing multiple items. My last visit I dropped about $28 with tip for two bakery items, a tiny cream puff and a matcha latte whereas I've gotten a big bag full of items at Family Baking for $25. And one thing I can definitively say is that this place does not do well with drinks, and that's largely dependent on who the barista is when you walk in. If you are looking for ceremonial grade matcha, you will not find it here. Expect pre-mixed powders and sweeteners in most things, which in my opinion is just lazy. Selecting "no sugar" will still produce a sweet drink. I usually steer clear of the teas but coffee should be okay. It works in a pinch to fix a craving sometimes, and H&G Downtown will continue to be that for me. Extra points for occasionally being open late.

My friend and I stopped by late Saturday afternoon to grab a solid meal before heading to the World…read moreCup match. The space is a comfortable small-to-medium setup with decent indoor seating and a few tables outside if you want to people-watch. I ordered the Jambalaya - NOLA-style mixed rice loaded with chicken, sausage, and shrimp. As a Nigerian, my standards for seasoned rice are naturally sky-high, but this was flawless. Everything was delicious, absolutely no notes. But the real cheat code here is Angie's Bread Pudding. I never leave this place without grabbing some to go. It's the undisputed star of the show and honestly one of the best desserts you'll find in Atlanta. Hands down a must-visit downtown spot.

The only reason I can't give them the full 5 stars is because they were out of bacon when I went. I ended up getting the egg, ham, and cheese croissant with potatoes, and it was SO good. The croissant had a slight sweetness to it that tasted like there may have been a little syrup added, and I loved it. The sweet and savory combination with the ham, egg, and cheese worked really well. The potatoes were good too, and between those and the croissant, the meal was surprisingly filling. I ate breakfast and stayed full for basically the rest of the day, which almost never happens for me. I would absolutely come back, especially if I can get my hands on the bacon next time!

You place your order at the register and when your food is ready they call your name out. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad sandwich, the bread pudding and my friend ordered the tuna melt . The food came out fresh and did not take a long time to be prepared. I enjoyed every bite of my sandwich. It was flavorful and the portion size was great. Essentially you can eat 1/2 of the sandwich and save the other half for a second meal. Now the bread pudding was a disappointment. It was dry and lacked flavor, I would not recommend. My friend enjoyed her tuna melt, the only feedback she had was that the press did not allow for the inside of the sandwich to be warm. She thought the entire sandwich would be warm. I will be back for the chicken Caesar salad sandwich for sure !!

I had the Apollo 13 8" (pinners) sandwich and it was delicious, the juice from the dressing was running down my hand and yet, the sandwich still wasn't soggy or wet and the bread was perfectly toasted.

It was not huge in a bad way, but just enough to be satisfying and filling. the staff was friendly and as I was waiting for my sandwiches I realized that this place is very cannabis friendly, from the Thanks for Pot Smoking sign to the 420-day promotion they are running.

My BBQ came with kimchi & a noodle salad in the side, and it was amazing! The chicken wasn't what I expected--which I thought was more like bulgogi--but the grilled chicken is so good! And the spicy sauce wasn't terribly spicy but definitely tasty! Kimchi was crispy & full of nice flavor! Satisfying for sure! My daughter wanted a crispy spicy tuna roll, and they customized a plain roll upon request! I thought that was cool. And my son loved his beef ramen--slurping up a pile of well-made noodles & broth. It is an order-and-collect your food at the counter type of deli, but the cashier was nice and accommodating. We didn't have to wait very long at all.
