    Whoa, Petit Chou on a Sunday morning is busy and full of energy, which honestly adds to the charm. We were lucky enough to grab a seat at the bar, and it turned out to be the perfect spot to enjoy the experience without waiting too long. The bar seat was great to see all of the rushing but feel out of the way while people were coming and going. The Cabbagetown Bowl was incredible. The combination of flavors worked so well together, and the salad was a standout on its own thanks to the amazing dressing. The egg on top brought everything together perfectly and made the dish feel complete and a nice breakfast staple. Service was friendly and attentive even with the crowd, and the atmosphere had that cozy neighborhood feel that makes you want to linger a little longer, but you shouldn't because people need to eat, too. If you're looking for a great brunch spot with fresh, flavorful food, Petit Chou should be on your list. I'll definitely be back.

    Croque madame, it was amazing!!!

    This dish was delicious!!! Definitely will come back for it. The server was super nice and helped me decide on it. We were in the patio and it was perfect

    We had brunch around 11am on a Sunday morning. The inside was fully packed, but there were a couple outdoor seating options. We sat on the side with the picnic tables. They were super cool with having our dog on the patio with us. They even brought her a bowl of ice water which was sweet. I ordered the avocado toast and my husband had the basic breakfast. I was underwhelmed with the avocado test but my husband enjoyed his. It's a great neighborhood spot, but I'm not in rush to go back.

    Petit Chou - Cabbagetown's Charming Little Curveball Tucked along the historic edges of Cabbagetown where bungalow homes meet Memorial Drive traffic sits Petit Chou, a quirky, refreshingly unpretentious brunch spot with an old-school spirit and a new-school flavor game. Ambiance: Vintage Vibes with a Dash of Atlanta Grit You walk up to what looks like a coastal cottage someone plucked off Tybee Island and set along Memorial Drive. The exterior still carries traces of its past life as Cole's, the old neighborhood store and grill that served burgers and Cokes to moviegoers from across the street. You can feel that history woven into the walls with a playful, updated twist. Inside has rustic bar seating, a strong lineup of hot sauces ready for action, and the cozy, slightly organized chaos of a real neighborhood spot. Their philosophy of "nothing random" holds true. The space encourages conversations at the bar, coffee-fueled people watching by the window, and maybe overhearing someone's brunch-date drama. Service: Laid Back but Dialed In Staff floated between friendly and efficient with no corporate energy, just genuine service that feels easy. They aren't forcing smiles or rushing anyone out the door. Drinks came quick, refills were easy, and they actually remember faces, no loyalty app required. Food and Drinks: Fresh, Intentional, and That Bloody Mary? A Plot Twist The Bloody Mary shows up dressed better than half the brunch crowd with a lime, lemon, and bold attitude. Spicy, tangy, and garden-fresh, it has a tomato kick that doesn't drown your taste buds in salt. Bonus points for the straw wrapped so tight you'd think Houdini himself sealed it. The menu keeps it simple but quality-focused. Avocado toast with boursin and arugula hits the spot. The Cabbagetown Breakfast Bowl piles on the protein with Tillamook cheddar and roasted veggies so you feel fueled but not stuffed. No microwave, no deep fryer, no walk-in freezer. Everything is freshly prepped and it shows. Funny Moment Worth Sharing The Bloody Mary almost had me fighting the lime garnish. My lips were already tingling from a Caesar salad allergy scare earlier so between the citrus and the spice, the drink kept me humble. Take small sips, laugh it off, and power through. Final Thoughts We stopped in for breakfast but we'll be back to see how they flip the vibe for dinner. Petit Chou delivers that locals-only energy while keeping it welcoming. Fresh food, laid-back service, neighborhood charm, and enough character to make you want to stay a little longer. A hidden gem with history, good flavors, and plenty of charm to spare.

    The French toast was good. The waiter not so much. Service was horrible for our waiter. I ordered biscuits and gravy and by the time my boyfriend was done with his food about 10 minutes after I got my food. He offered to give me a pastry which I took but didn't finish it and he charged me for a sausage Pattie I didn't want. The waiter isn't detail oriented at all. And he still charged me for my food. Didn't even offer to comp my food. My coffee was even messed up. The area is crowded but cute. The food wasn't bad at all.

    Vegetarian French onion soup
    Sara P.

    What a quaint little place. Great wood bar indoor and outdoor seating. Who would have thought a vegetarian French onion soup would be so flavorful?!? Biscuits and gravy were on point! Our server was such a delight and very kind!!!

    The iced coffee was too bitter for me

    We had a delicious meal at petit Chou for brunch! There was a little wait when we got there, but we expected it. We were sat in the outdoors area which was nice. I ended up sitting on the side with my friend, because the sun was beaming on the other side. We got a water jug with no cups initially. We asked for cups a few times, which was a little torturous because it was pretty hot and we were just looking at the water jug lol. They finally brought out cups after we received our food. The food was amazing. I got the breakfast bowl. It was really good! I'm used to those bowls being pretty heavy on the potatoes and cheese, but this one was nicely balanced with the greens, tomatoes, and eggs. It was SO good! My friend got the French toast which was insane. Literally finger licking. I ate half of her plate (lol). The server was very nice and the food and service after the water ordeal made up for the experience. I would recommend this place if you're looking for some great food!

    Golden Latte
    Elsie W.

    It's Labor Day, I wanted a late brunch and wasn't sure I would have luck with a short or no wait. I did a quick search and based on my likes and tastes I chose Petit Chou. I was not disappointed at all. I was quickly seated and was able to choose the table I wanted. They have indoor and outdoor (covered and not) seating. Plus a bar with comfy barstools. They have brunch daily til 3pm!! I ordered the Golden Latte with oatmilk, Breakfast Bowl with grits, eggs, greens, tomatoes and veggie sausage. I had a single waffle with fruit and sweet maple syrup, and a side of potatoes (yes, I was hungry lol). I am now obsessed with this place and it will be my go-to breakfast spot. The service was spot on, attentive and easy. The food was so tasty and great options. Oh and the Latte - perfection! A must try if you are near or in the area!

    Next up on my search for the best breakfast in Atlanta is Petit Chou, and it sure did make a great impression. I'm not the biggest fan of French Cuisine, and now in hindsight I which I would've ordered something French, but I will next time. I ordered the biscuits and gravy, it was very hearty and filling just like I like them to be, the gravy was perfect although I wish it had a little kick to it. The scrambled egg were solid and the espresso was very bright and refreshing. I will without a doubt be back for breakfast here. You're welcome!

    Croque Madame

    Friendly staff, fresh food, charming interior with a continued commitment to diversity, with specificity to Black lives mattering, even when it's no longer trendy. No notes. As a new neighbor, I'm eagerly looking forward to my next visit.

    Visit Date: Nov. 4, 2024 For my penultimate stay in Cabbagetown, I decided to give Petit Chou a try. I wanted to try a omething a little more from the left field. And I figured French cuisine would be just that! I don't often find myself going out of the way for French food as they're typically pricey. But the offerings from Petit Chou seemed reasonable. The restaurant seemed cute, warm, and friendly. Offering places to seat at some tables, the bar, or even the patio. Wait staff seemed friendly as well. Although, the only gripe I had, and the reason for 4/5 stars, was the excessive wait time to get my food. It took 35 minutes from placing the order and receiving it. Granted, this could be due to only having 1 cook in the kitchen, this is my assumption as I went for a late lunch, about 1.5 hours they closed for the day. Now onto the food! If we're going for French, it only makes sense to order some classic French dishes. I got myself the French onion soup and a Croque Madame. I was delighted by my choices and I quickly forgot about the wait once I had a bite of each! The soup was hot, rich of flavor, and had the right amount of sweetness from the caramelized onions. It was everything you expect out of a French onion soup. However, I do wish there were more than 2 pieces of bread within it. A small detail. As for the croque Madame, I was pleasantly surprised. This breakfast sandwich is a go-to of mine from my local cafe back home. But this example takes it to another level. The use of their gain toast with Dijon, Boursin, and a hearty amount of Gruyère, all blended into a very savory and mouth watering bite. The ham was also flavorful, not plain, not dull, unlike some other ham sandwiches I've had in the past. Overall, my experience at Petit Chou was a great one. You just have to be a little patient! I would definitely recommend a friend to go give this place a try! - John C.

    French toast creme brûlée combier
    Christie K.

    So delicious!! We stopped in for brunch after many months of planning to eventually try this place... and so glad we finally did! The French toast was decadent but not overly sweet. The layers of bread are light and moist. I'm not usually a sweet breakfast entree person, but this was a win. I was only able to get through a third of it though. The hubs had the croque madame on gluten free bread; also super tasty and a good portion size with a side salad. The coffee/cappuccino offerings are standard, and good - priced a bit on the high side. It's a small space with about 10 tables and bar seating, so I think the wait can get long. We were there on the earlier side and only had to wait about 20 min (15 for the bar seats). Parking is also a bit tight. Service was friendly and efficient. Overall a nice brunch spot. Looking forward to revisiting for dinner as well!

    Yes there is a parking lot however it is quite narrow and not many parking spots. Parking is available on-street in the surrounding neighborhood too.

I went on a Friday morning, and the restaurant was moderately busy there were spaces open, however, it was still active, and there were a few full tables and people having conversations. They had anime and various other things playing on the televisions throughout. I went in for simply a pastry and specifically to try out the apple pie Matcha. I will say it did not disappoint. One thing I always love when I'm getting a Matcha is stellar presentation and it met that. With the piping of the cinnamon cold cold foam, to the apple crisp and caramel on top, it looked beautiful, and I was happy to enjoy it! This had a great balance between the whole milk, and the amount of Matcha you can see it is a nice dark green color It also wasn't too sweet, and I felt I was getting apple pie from the drink through the hint of spices in there, along with the garnish. I was able to secure a table against the wall for two by myself to take a quick snapshot of my tray and try out my drink before leaving. I also got a caramelized onion croissant with Gruyère cheese. These were both strong flavors, that worked well together. I do wish I could've gotten heated, but maybe that's something you have to do upon request. Overall, I can't wait to go back and try some of the other items, and dine at the restaurant in the future, looking forward to the next seasonal drink! ** be sure to park in the lot next-door, to have it validated inside!**

Food- I ordered a Belgium waffle with coconut mango, which was basically a waffle with powdered sugar, mango jam, and coconut flakes. The waffle was hot, crispy, delicious. The jam was sweet but tasted a bit generic and could have easily been mistaken for peach jam. The mango flavor just wasn't very apparent. It was good but not memorable and overall it was very one note and too sweet. I think the usage of fresh mango and a coconut cream, or a crunchy coconut flake, and an herb such as basil mint or thyme would have really elevated this. I also tried their spicy tortellini. This was good, the portion is nice, the temperature was piping hot, the tortellini had a good bite and texture. Where it lacked was in flavor and dimension. Again, it tasted like very one note and the cream and cheese and pasta just all kind of blend into one experience in a very bland way. There wasn't no variety in texture or flavor, no pops of color, no sense of fresh herbs or citrus, no differentiating textures. Overall, with what limited portion of the menu I tried, I wouldn't return for these items. They were just okay and they didn't perform to the level I expected for such a well known cafe in Atlanta.
