    I was very excited about trying the sandwiches here. I had seen several people on TikTok talk about how good they were. So I went with my mom. I will say the customer service was lacking. We walked inside and looked at the menu and the girl at the register. Just kind of stared at us. Didn't speak didn't offer any suggestions. We were looking at the menu for a little bit, so just try to figure out what we want. A big note that I saw is that you cannot do any substitutions. But you can do add-ons at an additional fee. I kinda hate that because there's certain things I just don't eat and would've liked to put on my sandwich instead of the thing I took off. So let's get down to the sandwiches. We got the mortadella which had the multi level meat, cheese, and pesto on it and the Firenze which had salami, cheese and Dijon mustard. Both sandwiches cost $15.45 each. I just knew the sandwich was gonna have so much meat on it because it's a $15 sandwich. I was very disappointed when we got our sandwiches to see how thin they were. Hardly any meat on it. It lacked maybe having some olive oil on the bread for moisture. Very dry I will say. The only thing that say, the mortadella sandwich for me is the pesto. The pesto was really good, but I did not like the Dijon mustard on the other sandwich. It just didn't seem to go well together. I definitely don't think I would come back. Wasn't worth the money for me and my overall experience just wasn't wonderful. Cute shopping side, but not enough to make me come back.

    The Mortadella. Delicious!

    12/10 recommend! Best paninis in Atlanta, hands down. We tried Pala Bakery for the first time today and can't wait to go back! I ordered the Mortadella panini, soft yet crisp bread filled with mortadella (a delicious Italian bologna), pesto, and the creamiest ricotta I've ever had. My husband had the Italian Ham, layered with mustard ham, mozzarella, and tomato. Both were outstanding! Don't miss the cannoli, we had ours with chocolate chips, and it was the perfect choice. If you don't see them in the dessert case, ask -- they'll make them fresh to order. The bakery is in a shopping plaza with plenty of free parking. Inside, seating is limited, so we ordered to-go. The wait was about 10 minutes, which isn't bad at all. I loved being able to watch the prep area behind the counter, it felt like watching the magic happen. Service was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was also clean.

    I ran to Pala Bakery after a recent video on social media regarding their Italian sandwiches blew up! They are an Italian bakery specializing in desserts as well as sandwiches and pizzas! The outside looks very unsuspecting and it is rather small inside (a few tables here and there along with outside seating), but trust me this is a good eatery! The service was quick and friendly as well. I got the Prosciutto Panini but asked for the tomato and arugula on the side (I do not like vegetables that much, haha). The 18 month old aged prosciutto was savory and the mozzarella was fresh! I love getting bread service at Italian restaurants so being able to eat the prosciutto and mozzarella in sandwich form is amazing. The focaccia bread is so crispy and really makes the sandwich in my opinion. I think the panini would have tasted amazing if I added pesto to it, but I still really enjoyed it. I definitely would come back to try their other sandwiches and pizzas! I love the flavors of the Prosciutto Panini so I am certain that the other dishes would taste just as delicious too. I will say the panini was a bit expensive but it is large enough to serve two people.

    The Calabrian Pizza With Mozzarella, soppressata, tomato sauce, topped with Calabrian chilis and drizzled with honey. Was the absolute best pizza flavor combination that I've ever tried my whole group loved it. The Muffaletta Sandwich Packed An Incredible punch & The Mortadella Panini Was Perfect. Looking forward to dining there again. Friendly service in a cute & clean establishment.

    OH MY WORD! The Mortadella Panini is one of the best sandwiches I may have ever had. The bread... fluffy and light with a crunchy crisp crust. The flavor was amazing (Eyes close and roll back in head). I can't wait to go back! Saw a feature on Instagram with the whole video thing. Thought, what the heck, I'll try it. Welp, the video did not lie.

    My daughter wanted to try this place for lunch on Saturday. Small spot but has seating inside and outside. The food is expensive so we just got 1 sandwich and a bag of chips to share at almost 30 dollars smh. Our Panini had fresh mozzarella with 18 month aged prosciutto on it. We didn't like it. Barely no meat on it just all that bland tasting cheese. The star of the show is that bread though. Try it for yourself.

    The prosciutto and mozzarella almost never make it to the house. I love the sandwiches! It's always a special little treat when we drop in. If I have to pick between a sandwich and the pizza I'm going to go for the sandwich, but the pizzas are just as good! Such a cute little place, love the vibe. It's always super busy and it definitely has its regulars. I don't live in the area so unfortunately I can't drop in weekly like I want to, but you can tell that staff have a great relationship with people who come in all the time and they're super friendly and patient despite the chaos. 10 out of 10 definitely recommend.

    The food was really good. There was a good amount of options on the menu. I only had a sandwich, but I would definitely go back to try the pastries. Inside was a bit smaller, but it's set up like a normal café so it's definitely a place you can sit inside at. They also have a gelato bar, which I thought was really cool! Overall, the service was good.

    Mortadella Panini !!
    Mike P.

    This was a walk by, and I went in looking for Italian deli. They had panini. I ordered Mortadella and it had ricotta and basil pesto. It's the first time I've actually tasted Italy here in GA. Nothing and I mean nothing I've tried brings me back to Italy like this sandwich. It blew my mind. Immediately it made my top 10 list for all of this state. HIGHLY recommended based on this sandwich. They also offer prosciutto sandwiches which don't make sense to me, as it's a stringy meat and does not bite off clean. You'll pull the whole lump out with your bite. I can't wait to try the other food here... !!

    Best thing I ate in a long long time! Reviews on TikTok are absolutely true!!!! Fresh baked bread, for sandwiches and the pizza and the croissant ! Omg so delicious I can't wait to be hungry again to eat my leftovers...yes the entrees are HUGE! Will be bringing my parents here who love fresh ingredients too! There's a crunch with every bite! Did I mention delicious???

    Single scoops of Mango Sorbet
    Faydria G.

    I have been meaning to visit this cute little shop. Decided to stop in today. Seeing that I can't have milk. I take my sorbets very seriously. Pala has a one taste policy. As they stated "make that one taste last" (¬_¬ ). The sorbet choices where lemon, mango, mixed berries and I believe it was one more, but I can't recall what flavor it was. But my all time favorite is lemon then mango. So, I tried lemon first and I was a bit unhappy with the lack of lemon flavor. So, I went for mango. Once again I wasn't pleased with the flavor. The sorbet was really sweet with very little flavor of the fruit. Now, I have had some very good sorbets. Heck, I've even had some store bought sorbets that was extremely good. Pala sorbet missed the mark for me. The lemon didn't have any lemon zest or just a little lemon twang. The mango didn't have any not even a bit of mango fruity flavor but really sweet. That's all I tasted was sugar (sweetness). Now, they also have pizza and other Italian choices. Maybe I'll try the food menu. But I can say I won't be back for the sorbet.

    The bread on my Sandwhich was chewy soft crunchy all at the same time the meats cured meats chefs kiss I prefer the more spicy then the one that had arugula I added so olive oil it was kinda dry didn't try pastries or the gelato way to full The service friendly the ambiance it's very small reminds of the bakeries from home in our historic Italian neighborhoods When I'm feeling nostalgic this will be one of the places I would come to just to get a feel of home

    The Muffalatta

    We went today. It was worth the hype! The sandwiches are huge . We split the muffuletta and we got some desserts to go.

    We spent around $65 for a panini, a pinsa, 1 drink, 2 pastries, and a joey bag + tip so it is on the pricier side.

You could also order a whole variety of espresso drinks and lattes, etc. It even had a really cute seating area directly outside, but if you could fit yourself inside, there was some bar seating as well. The place is not large however, the cases are definitely filled with a lot of goodies. On this particular day, it did take us a little while to make a decision as there are quite a few choices. However, the two staff members who were here that day were very patient with us. We did walk away with macaroons a lemon meringue tart as well as a Canele. You know what it's in the pictures. I do not have a picture of that because it was eaten before I got a chance to take a picture of it. But everything was so tasty absolute perfection.

We got our boba teas, a tiramisu, strawberry cream cakes to satisfy the sweet tooth(s), but I was so excited to see a chicken korean BBQ sandwich that I had to get one! OH-EM-GEE!! I will be back to the sandwich alone!! It didn't take too long for the hot sandwich despite it being nearly closing time on a Saturday. The staff was helpful, friendly, and very accommodating. The diner itself isn't fancy, and the tables could use some consistent cleaning and clearing. You get plastic tableware and napkins on your own. But it was warm in a cold evening and had plenty of places to sit in the evening. I can imagine it gets pretty packed for lunch. Not sure.

Housesitting brought me to the neighborhood, and now I might have to make the trek regularly. I bought three sourdough bagels and a brown butter coconut cookie. My blood sugar was low and I absolutely could not resist eating the cookie on my way home. Wow.. It was so chewy and delicious. Both flavors come through really nicely. On to the bagels... These are, by far, the best bagels I've had in Atlanta. Honestly, they put the chain bagel spots to shame. The interior is really open and has that beautiful sourdough tang. They're perfectly crusted on the outside and provide a nice base for a spread/schmear. I'm so so impressed. Thank you Evergreen. I'll be back.

I like the savory pistachios and the creamy and crumbly coconut cream. - Chocolate Chip Cookie: This was such a delicious cookie! Perfectly made in between soft and firm and textures. The sea salt on top was chef's kiss. The lines move pretty fast. There's nowhere to sit and lounge, so you would need to take these pastries elsewhere to enjoy. The staff is also really nice and patient when my friend and I were trying to decide on pastries. Overall, I think these pastries would do good in an air fryer/oven. I would come back, but bring the pastries home to warm and crisp them up a bit. I also really want to try their burger which is only sold on the weekend at certain times!

It comes down to appearance, taste, texture (love a good bite; should not be mealy), chew, and substance. I'm pleased to report that Saint Germain satisfied my sweet (French) tooth. After the sampler, I was done desserting. Yep, sampler. Why settle for one flavor when you can try them all? Well, six. Six. I tried six. And each one was excellent. The staffer was patient and helpful in leading me to a mix that would satisfy my desire to be a bit broad in my tastes but never traveling too far from sweet. Savory is not the move when it comes to these treats. My journey to France by way of Atlanta started with chocolate then went to raspberry violette (what???) then I went to the circus with cotton candy. I got a bit traditional with salted caramel, stayed there with nutella and finished up with creme brulee. When I tell you each macaron was better than the first... wow. You definitely get what you pay for -- so this wouldn't be an everyday splurge but... when you get a hankering pay for the real deal. Your tastebuds will thank you. If you're gonna go, go all in.

It had a decent peach flavor to it and the top part of the peach had an ice cream texture to it. Would recommend ordering one of their pastries! Service was decent. We received our orders quickly. There is plenty of seating near the cafe and throughout the hall. There is also parking in a big lot connected to the hall.
