But my grandson has found a new love for Gelato here. The creamery is a nicely, quaint decorated space, clean and plenty of outside space on those gorgeous sunny days. We received amazing customer service, we was allowed to try some flavors before buying. Message!!!!! (keep your sample spoons for your actual gelato purchase) heck...we are trying to save the planet people. Anywho! My choses was to die for. The lemon was lemony which I truly loved. That lemon tart had that one eye twirking (LOL). That's when you know you got a good lemon flavor. The strawberry was the giving every bit of spring. My grandson almost finished his Carmel coffee/strawberry cup before we got to the car. I thought that was a disgusting combination but he said he LOVED LOVED it. So, the next time I have to pick him up I guess this will be one of our Decatur spots to come to. Take my advice go try them out. They have several flavors to choose from.

Since it was a nice day outside, we decided to dine al fresco. Once we were seated, we encountered another wait, but this time it was because they hadn't assigned a server to our table. We had to get someone's attention because we noticed other people seated after us were being waited on. We ended up with Sienna as our server. She started us off with complimentary bread. We decided to order our cocktails, appetizers, and entrees since we had been waiting. I had the sangria, and my husband had the limoncello. We enjoyed both cocktails. For appetizers, we had calamari and cheese sticks, and the cheese sticks were definitely our favorite--they had a unique twist. For entrees, we ordered the lamb ragu and the chef's special, which was seafood ravioli. To end the night, we had the brownie sundae with salted caramel gelato. We thoroughly enjoyed our food and drinks. Although the service was a bit slow at first, Sienna was attentive. We look forward to visiting Paolino again in the future.

This is probably one of my favorite bubble tea shops in the area. It's super small but very clean,…read moreand I haven't had a tea here that I didn't like. The staff is always friendly, and they have a great loyalty program, so I'd definitely recommend entering your phone number when you visit. My go-to order is the mango sago drink along with the taiyaki with custard. Their custard is a little different from what you'll find elsewhere. It's light and fluffy, almost like whipped cream has been folded into it, with just enough saltiness to balance the sweet taiyaki batter, which has a subtle hint of almond flavor. Since it's right by Emory, it can get pretty busy, especially on weekends and later in the evening. Overall, it's a spot I keep coming back to.

This is a smaller space compared to their Buford Hwy location…read more Customer service was very patient and accommodating as I couldn't make up my mind of which of the many menu items to choose from.

I think the price point doesn't match the tiny cupcakes like other cupcake locations I frequent. $5.50 for one cupcake is a bit much. I would rather buy a slice of cake for the same price or less. The shop is clean and cutesy, but I doubt if I return.

The decor is simplistic, but very beautiful. A lot of the options were sold out by the time I arrived. I decided on a strawberry cupcake and a Biscoff flavored cupcake. The owner and her brother were very welcoming. The cupcakes are fairly small and pricey at $5.50 a pop, but they were absolutely delicious. They weren't too sweet and I could taste the distinct flavors in each bite.

The space felt clean, comfortable, and well-kept. The vibe was relaxing, thoughtful, and easy to settle into, which made it a great spot for a solo visit or getting some writing done. It had character and felt inviting, which I always appreciate in a coffee shop. Customer service was friendly and welcoming, which always makes a difference. My drink was enjoyable and met my expectations. I did not try any food during this visit because I'm currently fasting, but I saw countless people ordering food, and everything I saw looked amazing. I definitely plan to try something from the food menu one day in the future. My only cons are that I wish the space was just a bit bigger since it can get crowded pretty quickly. I also wish they had a larger bar area with plugs for laptops, along with a little more walking space around that section. For someone like me who enjoys writing or working from coffee shops, those small details would make the experience even better. None of this is a deal breaker, though. As far as value, the cost felt fair and pretty standard for a coffee shop. For me, a good coffee shop is not just about the drink -- it's about the atmosphere, comfort, cleanliness, service, and whether I actually feel inspired enough to sit and stay awhile. The Reading Room gave me that. I will definitely return in the future, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, peaceful, and welcoming coffee shop with a great atmosphere.

Rebel Tea House and the shops on the block got it right with the free two-hour parking deck, which honestly was the first thing that drew me in. The space itself is boutique, quaint, clean, and smells amazing, with beautiful Chinese-inspired decor. I'm no stranger to bubble tea or fruit teas, but it was my first time here and I wanted to try something different. The woman at the register was incredibly helpful. After I mentioned that I don't like drinks that are overly sweet, she explained the sweetness levels and recommended a tea that ended up being perfect. I stayed for a couple of hours working on my computer and watched the place gradually fill up during the lunch rush. I loved the mix of people coming through -- parents with babies and strollers, people working quietly on laptops, friends playing Uno and Connect Four, and locals just stopping in for their usual tea. It felt welcoming. Also worth mentioning, the bathroom was spotless and fully stocked, which always says a lot to me about a business. Overall, it was just a really pleasant experience from start to finish, and I'll definitely be back.

The flavors aren't so intense as to feel like you're drinking pure [insert ingredient] concentrate, but strong enough to taste everything. The interior is really nice, with lanterns, fairy lights, flowers painted on the wall, a mural on the counter, artificial flowers hanging beautifully in the seating area and in the bathroom (bathroom not pictured). The seating is comfortable and there is good lighting. There are board games you can play and merchandise you can buy, as well. The employees are helpful and friendly. They were able to help me with nutrition information, telling me how much of each sugary ingredient so I could figure out how much insulin I needed. The owner also donates some of their profits and stuffed animals to the charity my sibling receives support from. I had a great experience from ordering to leaving, and I will be back
