    This is one of THE BEST spots for grits I've had in the greater Atlanta area Now the wait for food was longer than expected esp since it wasn't a packed restaurant. But once I had those cheese grits it made up for the wait lol. I will be back for the catfish and cheese grits for sure. The breakfast platter was good and I liked the size of the pancakes but Cracker Barrel still had the best and these came in Top 3 . Definitely loved supporting a black owned establishment and will be returning plus letting others know of this gem.

    OMG! I love it when a last minute decision becomes a great choice!! we will be back and probably sooner rather than later. Everything was excellent. Service was fabulous- Tam could not have been better. Black excellence in service and food quality. Best oatmeal hands down and the spinach quiche has a great texture and flavor. Don't sleep on this. Hubby said the beef sausage is good- new experience for him--"Excellent" he said.

    WOW! What a great breakfast place. From the moment you walk in the team is supper friendly and helpful. Overall it is a cool place, the ambiance is a vibe. They have seating options both inside and outside. I ordered the Hash-brown casserole with the breakfast bowl and the honey chicken biscuit. Both were great! The hash-brown casserole is a must! The flavor was wonderful and the addition of the fried egg, bacon and cheese only elevated it. The biscuit was flakey and the chicken had great flavor...add the egg and cheese and it just took it over the top. I also got a latte, which was nice to have during the wait for the food. It is not fast food, it definitely took a bit to get my food, not a complaint because it was absolutely with the wait, just a heads up if you are in a rush. It may have just been the morning I was there, but they had plenty of staff, so I think they care so it takes some time.

    Easy to find, great parking, there was a rug at the door that the host watched us trip over and didn't apologize or move it. Took a while for the waitress to address us even though there were only 3 other parties in the establishment. When she did come over she was friendly and explained the menu very well. She didn't bring our drinks over, she completely forgot. We only ordered two waters and a coffee. Then I ordered the vegan dish which included vegan sausage which I ordered. My plate came out with vegan bacon instead. I requested my sausage and heard the cook say we don't have it. I've had much better vegan dishes. I took it from two stars to 3 because the other person I was with said her breakfast casserole was delicious! This was a great find but I won't be back.

    We came here after not being seated at another popular brunch spot! We were so glad we came!!! Most of us are from out of town. They welcomed us in, took our orders and served us with a smile and SUPERB customer service. Everything was good and the only good left was from folks who were full! Note, the chicken salad has craisins in it. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Try everything! Salmon Croquettes, shrimp n grits, omelets! All delicious. We have nothing but great things to say about this spot. Great work and many blessings for success!

    Cute little bistro with a nice outdoor area. I had a catfish po' boy, and not only was it beautiful to look at, but it was delicious! The servers were very nice and welcoming. I definitely recommend and will be back when I am in the area. I really want to come back and try the breakfast.

    This was excellent "Cenacle Honey Chicken Biscuit Breakfast" 10/10

    In the 5 years we have lived in the area we have been here only twice. Once in year Ike and it was a terrible experience. Took almost 4 hours for brunch for two people. Food was incorrect. We were the only ones when we arrived and people who arrived after us were served and left before we ever even got our food. We decided it was terrible and never planned to come back. Skip to this past weekend we are in the middle of packing up our home and moving and really wanted a breakfast sandwich for a brunch break but didn't want fast food like Dunkin. So we decided to give it a try. We arrived post church hours so it was busy but we were seated outside immediately. Staff was far more friendly this time. Still not very quick but much faster by far (we were there about 2 hours which is reasonable) our services whose name I did not catch could not have been nicer. We ordered a hash bowl (4/10-it was kind of mushy and the plated they served it in kind of made it look like dog food unfortunately) and French toast which was fine. Nothing special (5/10) but the star was the chicken honey biscuit. That was excellent (10/10) I may go back for another this week for much. My husband had major order envy. I do restored asking for it to come with a larger plate Becca's service it on a Saucer and it is messy. I will want to mention that while we were there the tarp that covered the patio tore and that sent what I assume was collected old dirty rain water shooting down. We *all* got lucky and it didn't hit anyone or any tables but it was very close to us. They offered to let us move tables but it was over by the time they noticed and did so so we stayed where we were assuming it would not happen again. Had that hit us it would have ruined our time as it was dirty water...you may want to consider adding a real roof or removing tarp and letting it just be an uncovered pergola to avoid future issues - had it actually hit us I would ahve expected our meal to be comped so we could leave to go shower immediately...thankfully this is not a conversation or experience we had to have but please consider making needed changes in the future.

    Such a cute coffee shop with a cozy vibe! I had the turkey bacon breakfast bowl so flavorful and filling. I also tried the iced white chocolate coffee, which was a great recommendation from the cook and did not disappoint. There's parking available, which is always a plus, although I did have a little trouble finding the location at first. Definitely worth checking out once you find it!

    Loaded Omelette with Toast Breakfast

    The workers are super friendly. They all greeted me and were full of smiles. My server took my order and even after he placed my order another employee came to check on me to make sure I was being served. That was sweet. My server was very nice too. I went around 1230pm so it was more on the empty side but had a very relaxing environment. This was the best omelette I had in a very long time!! The eggs had such a pretty color. I wondered if it was vegan eggs with how pretty it was. But my oh my. I need to bring more people to eat here. I will be recommending this restaurant to everyone I know. I will definitely be back again. They all told me goodbye when I left too. All around I was very impressed with my experience here. Keep the employees as happy as you do owner.

    My fiancé, cousin, and I wanted to grab a quick breakfast before going to six flags so we decided to check this place out. It was a cute cafe style restaurant and we were able to get seated right away. Our server was great. I got the honey chicken egg sandwich and my cousin got the bacon egg and cheese sandwich and both of our biscuits were tasty but extremely buttery. My fiancé got the breakfast burrito and he liked it but said it was a bit too oily. Overall we did enjoy the meals and if we were in town again, we would go back.

    Breakfast Burrito

    Nice little breakfast place for a quick bite. Parking is easy and service was quick. The biscuits for the sandwich was a bit too buttery and the breakfast burrito was pretty oily. The flavor was still great though. Would go again given the chance.

    Where do I begin…read more..... Convenience-I love the fact that you can access this restaurant without having to enter the mall. It's definitely also a plus that you have a full mall parking lot to take advantage of without any need to pay for parking. Ambiance-The aesthetics are truly beautiful within this establishment! The pops of color, the light fixtures, the rose wall, the mirrored hallway...all very lovely and pleasing to the eye! Customer Service-From the hostess stand to the bar, waiter, and management, I give it a 10/10! Everyone was friendly, respectful and accommodating without question. My waiter was Will, and he showed the utmost level of outstanding customer service the entire visit! He gave wonderful recommendations regarding the menu, and he checked on us with just the right amount of consistency. He was friendly, personable, and kind! He genuinely wanted to make sure that the experience was memorable and it showed brightly & authentically! Food-I had the Fried Salmon Bites, Traditional Waffles & Fried Lobster, and Peach Cobbler. It was all cooked to perfection with such flavor! I had a lovely Wild berry drink that was very delicious. There was no wait, no crazy lines, and no pretentiousness. K+K is doing things right, and I thank you!

    I had a very disappointing experience at Kitchen and Kocktails. The customer service was extremely…read morepoor from the moment I arrived. I came in on a Saturday for a 6:15 PM reservation for a party of four. I arrived first on time and my first guest arrived at 6:20 PM. I was told I had to wait till the rest of my party arrived. I set at the bar while waiting for the rest of our party. My friend approached the hostess stand to ask if we could be seated as a party of two . Also, advised the Mexican girl that it will be only 3 but, we don't have to wait for her cause she's not gonna be eating since we're on a time schedule and was attending an event. The hostess was very rude and dismissive, stating "that's not how it works" in an unprofessional tone. Later, another hostess came over and said our reservation had "run over" at 6:35 PM, even though we were already in the restaurant before our reservation time window had passed and there were clearly open tables available. The restaurant wasn't packed at all. When we asked again about a table for two, we were told we could either sit at the bar or wait. The interaction felt very unwelcoming and unprofessional. We told the hostess we wanted a table for two to sit down and eat . The black hostess said , so you want to stay at the bar or you want a table . I said a table. She said , the bar ‍I said no a table. She then said that they could refuse service if we had an attitude, which was not the case . I simply answered her question by saying no . Told her I didn't know that saying no is me having an attitude. At that point, we chose to leave and not spend our money there due to the poor customer service and the rudeness of the hostess. Overall, the staff we interacted with on June 20th at 6:15 PM were rude and unprofessional and clearly need better customer service training. Based on this experience, I understand why there are so many negative reviews.

The vibe is cozy but still upscale -- like a mountain lodge right in the middle of the city. Perfect if you're coming from shopping around Perimeter or just want a laid-back spot with really good food. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful, but what really stood out was how welcoming the atmosphere is. It's one of those rare places where you can bring friends, kids, or even go for a casual date and it still feels like a great experience. Service was friendly, attentive, and made the whole meal even better. You can tell the staff actually cares about making sure guests enjoy themselves because I have two 1yr olds with me and still got to enjoy adult life. If you're in the Perimeter area Eli the waiter and Colby hooked a mom up and looking for a place that has great food, good energy, and a menu with tons of options, this spot is definitely worth trying.

Everything was really good. I did the All American Burger with fries and a soda. Service was fast and responsive. She offered to get me a to go cup for my drink without being asked.

When the bill came it was $17.95. Maybe I saw sandwich only or just mis read it. Ad a drink, tax, and a tip and my lunch was nearly $28. I can't do that every day. But it was nice as a treat.
