    Been coming here for years and this adorable coffee shop has never disappointed me. They keep their drink menu fresh with seasonal drinks year round, they keep expanding the food menu so you can even have a full sit down meal at breakfast or lunch here, and the staff members are always so friendly and helpful. They are kid and dog friendly which is a perk too! They are always adding new fun things like flea markets, movies in the garden, game nights, crafting, and you can now order pizza from across the street and enjoy drinks in the evenings!

    I was out here for an event and decided to try a drink and some food. The chicken salad sandwich was so good. I also tried a lavender tea. If I were out in this area again, I would definitely come back for something else. The employee at the window was so helpful and suggested my order to me. She had great suggestions because I enjoyed everything I purchased. The restaurant is at the end of the shopping plaza and has a huge grassy area next to it. The space is perfect for outdoor events and the outdoor seating area was perfect for a nice outing with family or friends.

    Espresso, almond milk macchiato

    I had an espresso and a macchiato with almond milk. Both were pretty good. The espresso was pretty good. They get their beans from Rev Coffee roasters which is one of my go-tos so I recognized the quality. It had a very slight burnt taste but not too bad. The almond milk for the macchiato helped to balance the espresso.

    So where do I begin to tell the story of Sessions......located in a residential area behind Kennestone Hospital in Marietta. The weather was nice enough to choose outside seating. We asked for a printed menu, and that's when things became very irritating. We were told to use our phones to scan the QR code placed on our table #11. The print on the phone was very small, and it was hard to see what ingredients were in the diffetent items. At this point we were contemplating going somewhere else. But hey, we are not quitters. While playing with our phones we asked for help because we were very frustrated. Nice server came and guided us through the entire ordering process which took quite long time. But this young lady worked very hard to make us happy. Some popular items were sold out before 10:30 am. I understand that this can happen However, if some menu items are so popular, why was the kitchen not prepared for that. After ordering I asked to be sure that the nice server would get her tip. She informed me that all the servers share the tips. I know that some restaurants do that, but as an old restaurant manager, I do not like that. So at the end I insisted giving her a cash tip. She earned it. While waiting for our food we enjoyed watching families with their dogs and playing children on the huge backyard playground. So this restaurant offers a cozy family friendly atmosphere for their quests. But not necessarily a quiet one. Finally we got our meals. Mine was chicken salad croissant with some chips and greens with coffee. My friend ordered a latte with a salad. She was very happy with her latte and she liked her salad. My chicken salad was too thick to my taste and was missing some flavor. Our server was attentive and checked on us several times. So the customer service is good here and seems that the team works well together. Overall, this entire concept is great, nice surroundings, modern interior, inside and outside seating, and chance to order at the front entrance or at the table. There is also a room for a private party at the back of the restaurant. But I found only one unisex restroom with a babychanching table. Not a problem to me, but I think there should be more restrooms. This place was great, and I understand why it's popular but I will not return anytime soon. Next time I will choose an establishment where I don't have to scan QR codes and I will have a menu in my hand. I'm all for progress, but I want to enjoy my meals without this kind of hassle.

    Very aesthetically pleasing. You can place an order at the outdoor window or from the QR code inside at the different seating locations. I ordered the ham and cheese croissant and iced chai latte. Small parking lot on site. The food and beverage wasn't my favorite but a cute place to come work for the day.

    I'm gonna be honest, this was probably the worst matcha I've ever gotten from a cafe. It wasn't sweet, had no flavor and was just so so bad overall. And idk why I got a large. It was very pricey too! Loved the ambiance and space. Might come back to try something else, but I would definitely skip the matcha next time.

    Stumbled upon this place and was surprised I haven't heard of it before. Beautiful on the inside and fun on the outside, with plenty of seating and a playground for kids to play. Food and drinks are reasonably priced and tasted good as well

    The sandwich advertised! Look at the meat stack and apple slices.
    Meagan D.

    Today was not a good experience. We ordered a good bit because when you come parking is so hard. We ordered two lunch sandwiches (based on their IG post) and I feel we did not get what was advertised. The bread was toasted really hard and hardly any meat. When I asked for the bread not to be hard they wanted to charge me for a whole other sandwich. They won't even fix it had I had the option for it not to be this toasted I would have said no toasting. Then To try and say "it's always this toasted" as if I have never had a sandwich from here. I really miss the old window when it was smaller. It's just too much of a trip to keep coming back for this type of quality and treatment. I'm done.

    One of the best coffee shops in Marietta. Come, relax or work and stay. You won't regret it. The only difficulty is finding a parking spot--it's always busy.

    The cutest coffee shop I've ever seen in an unexpected place. Location and Parking Located on a quiet residential street in Marietta, Sessions Stand has a small lot with free parking. Venue and Atmosphere Sessions has a large beautiful patio, overlooking a grassy lawn. The inside is very beautiful, with plush seating, as well of plenty of table if you want to sit and study. Service Service was prompt, courteous, and efficient. The ordering system isn't clear upfront, but a kind employee explained it to me. Food and Beverages The salmon toast was amazing, as was the jalapeno/bacon pastry and the desserts. The club sandwich was good but I don't need to order it again. The special latte of the month was fragrant and beautifully presented. Verdict I'll be back!

I am not sure why this place is always busy. Maybe there is a special insider club that gets preferential seating and service. On all four of my visits. I waited over 20 minutes to be seated when tables were visibly open and no others were waiting in line. Once seated service was slow and I underwhelming. Water cups are not filled regularly, drinks that are ordered are slow to arrive and refilled. My average wait time for food once ordered was 35 minutes ( my second trip the wait was over 45 minutes for two breakfast items!). I know Atlanta area restaurants are known for its atlantude from staff when dining out ,but everyone was pleasant, everything here was very slow moving. This may be an understaffing issue. Food was average tasting and nothing stood out. I would recommend avoiding this spot for the cost paid for the meal and the slow speed.

As you walk in, there's a case of bakery-type items along the wall and butter-creme frosted cakes displayed under the order counter. I asked the man behind the counter if they have cooked food. They don't, but he offered me the alternative to what I had described, a torta. If you're as "American apple pie" as I am, looking around the shop, its easy to confuse a "torta" with a "tarte" or pastry. The "torta" here is a pressed sandwich, filled with meat that he called 'turkey ham' (he assured me that it was not pork), onions, tomato, cheese, avocado and jalapeños if you can handle 'em. While I waited for the young lady to make my torta, the gentleman offered me a choice of complimentary baked treat to try. Who here doesn't love a free sample!? Ok! He rattled off some of the names, but had me at cheesecake! I took them both to-go, mainly because, although there was a cooler full of cold drinks and soda, I couldn't find a hint/whiff of coffee in the place. I would've asked but I'd reach my personal 'question quota' with the sandwich. DELICIOUS, by the way! I like that the press left the bread crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and all the sandwich fixins were still crispy & cool-not soggy or melty. The cheesecake looks kinda like a lemon square, has a cookie-cake texture bottom crust and a 'cheese danish' type filling that's nicely browned on the top. The serving is big enough to split for now & later-which I had every intention of doing. But, I mean, who was I kidding?! It was YUMMY. This place is fairly new, so I hope it'll add hot drinks (if it doesn't already have them...) and a to-go menu with descriptions, so I can decide what I want to try, ahead of my next visit.

But cakes from this shop are crowd-favorites! Everyone at my wedding raved about the cake, even months later people still brought it up. I highly recommend this business.

    We had a great time tasting cakes with our wedding planner, Jordan Flowers of Wedding Belles, and…read moreKathryn ("Kat") Steed, sole owner and cake maker at Lush Cakery in Marietta. Jordan recommended Lush Cakery to my fiancee and me (our planner does not accept kickbacks, but instead passes on any discounts she may get on to us) and that is enough praise for me. My fiancee, through her own research, noticed that Lush Cakery has had a hand in a lot of nice weddings in Atlanta. She absolutely loves the look of Lush's cakes (she describes them as beautiful, fun, and creative). I asked Kat how many weddings she did last year and she told me, if I recall correctly, 185 (all by herself!). She doesn't plan on doing that many per year going forward, but she definitely has the experience and is well known in the Atlanta wedding community. Kat moved into a cute space just off Marietta Square a couple years ago. There's a retail space, open four days a week, and a tasting room, available by appointment only. The shop can also be booked for small events like bridal and baby showers. Kat was waiting for us promptly at our appointment time. My fiancee and I were accompanied by our planner for the tasting. The tasting room was quaint and charming. It reminded my fiancee of an attractive sitting room, like something you would see on HGTV. We got to know Kat and she got to know us. She let us swipe through cake designs on her iPad while talking to us about our wedding, our tastes/visions for our cake, and how our cake would align with our wedding overall. For example, we talked about the season of our wedding, whether it's going to be indoor or outdoor, etc. These kinds of things can affect the ingredients and flavors of our wedding cake. There was a menu at the table with Lush's most popular wedding cake flavors. We tasted the following six flavors: * Salted caramel * Amaretto white chocolate red raspberry * Triple chocolate hazelnut * Grand Marnier strawberries and cream * Cinnamon * Cream cheese pound with lemon curd Kat had the first five flavors in the list above ready to go on a plate for each of us. The last one was requested by my fiancee who was interested in trying the lemon curd after seeing it on the menu. My eyes lit up as I bit into these cakes. What impressed me most about them was actually not their flavor, but their consistency. Every single slice was perfectly fluffy and moist. They were tender and delicate with good crumb. Flavor-wise, they were sweet, but not too sweet. My favorite flavors were the salted caramel and the strawberries and cream. My fiancee's favorite flavors were the amaretto white chocolate red raspberry and the triple chocolate hazelnut. My fiancee thought both the strawberry and cinnamon tasted delicious, but were a little too simple for her tastes. The cream cheese pound cake with lemon curd was outstanding, but we agreed that we liked the lighter, less dense textures of the other cakes for our wedding cake. Everything we tried tasted great, so what it really came down to here was personal preference. We want a classic, elegant looking cake so Kat suggested a traditional three-tier round cake. We'll have it decorated with flowers from our florist, Julie Coffin of Unique Floral Expressions, who is one of the rock stars of the Atlanta wedding industry and whom Kat has worked many weddings with. We chose our cake and icing flavors, along with a fun design extra, and were quoted under $700 for our cake (tax and delivery included). The cake will serve 100. We'll have more than 100 guests, but there will be other dessert options too. Kat's quote is about $200 higher than another quote we recently received, so Lush is on the higher side. However, the other quote did not include an extra design element and the Lush quote also includes a "complimentary" anniversary tier a year after our wedding. A $150 non-refundable deposit is required to secure a date. We received Kat's proposal via email quickly after our meeting. My fiancee had a question and it didn't take long for Kat to respond. All in all, this was a wonderful experience. Now we just have to make a decision! Throughout our wedding planning process so far, this has turned out to be the most difficult decision yet.
