    Butterscotch cake
    Aparajita S.

    My absolute favorite place to order cake! I've always loved eggless cakes from Indian bakeries growing up since the icing and the actual cake melts in your mouth. Even though the price is more expensive than your standard cakes at Kroger and Publix, it is worth it! My go to flavor is the butterscotch cake and have ordered it two times in the past four months for birthdays. The cake overall isn't overly sweet and I would say the smallest size serves 8-10 people. Overall, if you haven't given Indian eggless cakes a try and want to, order a slice!

    The spicy dosa with a trio of sauces:. Tomato, coconut and traditional Indian spice.

    A COZY LITTLE FAMILY SPOT! My neighbor just loves this place and now that it is under new management, she is still a loyal customer. We visited this past weekend and our visit was unique because my friend, (vegan Indian), was really a great hostess who pretended like she worked in the restaurant. We walked in and sat down while she took our orders, brought us additional plates, napkins, water and utensils. So sorry, but you commoners will need to walk to the counter, place your order, pay for your own meal, get your own water and utensils from the self serve area and then seat yourself. Once your meal is ready, it will be delivered to your table. We ordered several dishes to enjoy family style but I tend not to fully engage in the sharing process because the dishes are usually too spicy for me. The samosa chaat was good and it wasn't too spicy. It is a hearty vegan dish that will definitely satisfy. Personally, I ordered the chicken noodle dish and it was delicious! The last time I visited I had the vegetable noodle dish but I prefer fresh green vegetables with my noodles instead of the standard sweet peas. Anyway, this one had a much better flavor profile although light on the veggies. Indian food tends to be very heavy on the carbs so be aware of this if you are not accustomed to eating it. Their plain dosa actually came filled with a red chili paste which was too hot for my young neighbor to eat. Yes, she is Indian but as her father explains it, she was born in the US. The restaurant is very casual and it tends to run cool so you will want to bring a jacket or sweater just in case. There is also a bakery inside if you want to grab a treat or order a cake for a special occasion. The menu is front and back so don't forget to flip it over and don't forget to ask about the weekend specials which are posted behind the counter. ***Good food, good company, winning!

    Nankhatai - super good! Bhel puri - soggy! Paneer tikka roll - stale wrap, cabbage, fresh non tikka paneer!

    Had heard so much about this place. Ordered- paneer tikka roll. It was stale pre made wrap with stale lettuce but fresh non tikka paneer. Dish 2 - bhel puri - so soggy! Was spicy though! Dish 3 - nankhatai. Delicious. Dish 4 - pastries - good. Service - so bad we are still waiting on things after 25 minutes! Didn't at all live up to the word!! Hard to go wrong with indian snacks but this place, not sure how they are running it!

    Awesome Indian cafe. I am glad this opened up. It's really breads. Great cakes.chat

    Great place. Must eat chicken tikka wrap,Bombay sandwiches. My fav chocolate mousse.....yum. Pani poori could be better..if they give tamarind chutney with it, it will be perfect. The place is clean ...

    Rendezvous Cafe is such a gem in Cumming. Their pastries are baked in-house daily (and you can…read moreabsolutely taste the difference), and all of their sandwiches and café offerings are made fresh to order. Everything feels thoughtful and high quality, not rushed or mass-produced. On top of that, their customer service is phenomenal -- friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help you decide or make recommendations. Their seasonal drinks are always on point, especially the Valentine's raspberry truffle latte, which was chef's kiss. Cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and the kind of place you want to keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

    This place I thought would be amazing with the reviews but I'm genuinely concerned. The system in…read morethe cafe is weird everyone is scrunched up I didn't feel comfortable talking because we were so close to the other table. Ambiance is way too crapped if you're claustrophobic you're probably not going to be able to stay here. System is whack because the drinks aren't on the menu you have to GET UP and go up and figure out what drink you want. Then they can only make it one way you can't asked for something cold/hot. Not to mention the floors were nasty, tables not wiped, and in general I hated the experience. The food looked like something you heat up in the microwave. Specially the croissant because it looks like jimmy deans croissants from Walmarts freezer section. Then to top it all off there was a 12-14 INCH HAIR PIECE In our food. I was disgusted. The chai latte tasted like straight up cold milk with some cinnamon on top. I've had tons of chai in my life but by far that one was the worst. I wouldn't come back and I pray that they get everything back in order. I see the business owner replied to my review. I will like to say as a customer if I share a review then I truly believe that things should be fixed, not excuses or "seen footage". If I had Gotten all the way up and went to the counter and said "I just found a 12-14 hair piece in my food" things still would not have changed due to us already being done with our experience and wanting to leave . Now with the cleaning situation there was tons of food under the tables and the tables weren't wiped. No one came to clean at all so the comments on the cleaning was way off for me, everyone was working BEHIND The counter. I also believe with the drinks I am not talking just about the Tiramisu Latte. I originally was not planning on getting the Tiramisu but when I asked for something else hot they said only iced. And no it is not a personal preference of a Chai latte a Chai latte should not taste like cold milk with cinnamon dust. Thank you for taking time to reply to my review. We also did NOT finish our food and the "seen footage" accusations is a bit harsh. As a Yelp Elite member it is important to be 100% REAL with my reviews. I take passion and respect for every business out there but I genuinely am concerned, especially with how defensive the owner is to my review. The rude server at the front also made us not feel comfortable coming up and doing something. Now seeing how the owner is acting I am even more worried.. A chai is suppose to be BROWN not PURE WHITE. If you truly looked at the footage you would've seen me pull that long hair piece out.

Within a strip mall, there's parking readily available. It's fast casual, meaning you'll order at the counter and then take a number where your food is quickly delivered to your table. They have breakfast until 10:30 AM, then there's a 30 min transition to lunch which starts at 11. I arrived at noon- the place is busy, they have so many options for meals that it was difficult to choose. I went with an Italian sub and a Diet Coke, I figured how can you go wrong with their number one item on the menu? Delicious, and with the banana peppers it made for a great sandwich! Service is so wonderful. And they have a bakery and bar in house....dangerous all around! Family friendly and for me, having a casual lunch meeting was no problem! Support small owned businesses!

I was greeted LIKE I was wanted! So thank you to the wonderful young lady behind the register taking orders. I was scanning the menu as it was my first time visiting. After learning this information she quickly ran me through some of her favorite options, and answered all questions(knowledgeably I might add) I had myself about the menu. I chose the Marshal as well as a slice of the Heat of the Week. Because....why not. And by the way, the Marshall is not shown. My belly would not allow me to reach for my camera after first visualization. The pizza was heaven at first bite. Perfect undercarriage while fresh ingredients cooked to perfection on top. Then......the Marshal. Ooooohhhhhh the Marshal. Their version of a hot Italian beef. And what a phenomenal version at that. Wonderful spice and the right about of heat. Tender juicy beef. No regrets. I was introduced to Miss Marie and talk about a blessing on Earth. Talked to me like an old friend of the family. Even checked on me herself after receiving my food to go. Can not wait to go back!! 10 outta 10!

It's in a nice, newly developed area with other restaurants and small shops close by. There's a small parking lot right outside, some street parking, and even more a short walk away. The space itself has a ton of bright light thanks to the giant windows all around. The white interior just amplifies that. There's a lot of seating ranging from small tables to communal tables and even a swanky back library-like room with couches. I had no issues with the internet while I was there and that included me being on video calls, which sometimes suck up a lot of energy. There were also plenty of outlets nearby to keep my laptop charged up. When it comes to what I ordered, I went with an egg and cheese sandwich and an iced oat milk latte. As for my latte, they had some fun seasonal offerings and I went with one that had pear in it. That was a total first for me and I had no idea what to expect. That said it was down right delicious and I would order it again. My sandwich was pretty mediocre if I'm being honest, but I was starving and there weren't many other options.
