    What went well? EVERYTHING. The cutest tea spot on the upper westside with so much to see and taste. Your senses will be delighted and taste buds satisfied as you try new savory treats and Chai. Excellent service from a friendly staff patiently ready to guide you to a treat you'll appreciate - it took many questions about "spice level" for me to decide on the Samosa but the staff answered and tried to ease my nerves.. In the end I decided on a Rose and Pista cake and iced Jaipur tea . Both I highly recommend- the cake is SWEET- grab a box to go also. The parking is a bit tight as it's shared with other businesses but the cafe is worth a few turns around the lot.

    Iced Masala Chai. $6. Summer Special: Lychee + Coconut Vellam (Water). $7. Iced coconut water topped with lychee malai.

    Update on 7/19/2026: This weekend, I tried a Cardamom Bun ($7.00) and Saag Paneer Danish (warmed, $7.00). They were delicious. Saag paneer is one of my favorite Indian dishes and it's neat to see it in Danish form - not something you see every day. They really pulled it off. Note it's a bit spicy. Original review posted 7/12/2026: We swung by The Chai Box Cafe yesterday and had their Iced Masala Chai ($6) and one of their summer specials, the Lychee + Coconut Vellam ($7, iced coconut water topped with lychee malai). Both drinks were excellent (five stars). I've never had chai as good as this and the Lychee + Coconut Vellam reminded me of a cold, refreshing ras malai (Indian dessert) in drink form. It was unique and yummy. My only gripe is the Lychee + Coconut Vellam was too small. We came here because one of my wife's good Indian-American friends has been following this business on Instagram for a while (@thechaibox) and he showed her that they had just opened a brick-and-mortar storefront. When we were in the store yesterday, the staff told us they're still in soft opening mode. They opened on June 13, 2026. My wife is already a big fan. The staff and family running the place were welcoming, and the space itself is small but beautifully designed and decorated. Parking is awkward and not ideal, but I think there are enough spaces. I'm not a fan of making left turns onto this stretch of Howell Mill, including out of the Chick-fil-A across the street.

    Things you should know: I. PARKING There's a parking lot to the left and in front of the building. Easy. II. SERVICE & QUALITY They sell chai tea bags, chai tea concentrate, candles and other merch. The pastries are phenomenal and pair well and their drinks, which also taste great! I recommend everything. I've seen the owner offer tea samples to customers if you're iffy with what to choose. III. CAPACITY Seating indoors and outdoors is very slim.

    One sip of this masala chai, paired with those beautiful pastries, and I was instantly transported back to my Mumbai Irani café days. Definitely one of my favorite spots for the most comforting and flavorful chai. Thank you, Monica, for serving nostalgia in a cup. I also loved their summer specials--especially the refreshing Lychee Coconut Vellam. The All Chai'd Up (Masala Chai) and Hill Station (Rose & Cardamom) were perfectly balanced, fragrant, and never overpowering. And don't leave without trying the Saag Paneer Pastry--the buttery, flaky pastry paired with the rich, spiced filling is simply outstanding. Enjoyed alongside a cup of masala chai, it's an easy 10/10. If you're a true chai connoisseur, this is one Atlanta spot you absolutely cannot miss.

    Chai box is a new cafe in west midtown. Chai box has selling chai products for a while and the owner finally opened up the cafe! The cafe smells amazing inside. They get very busy over weekend. Suggest to get there early. The seating is limited, good place to get to go. They do have some parking by the cafe. The pastries were subpar but the drinks were really good. Fast service but wish they had more space inside.

    I've been craving a good chai and The Chai Box checked all my boxes. Delicious fresh hot chai , Parle-G for dunking , delicious pastries (I got the risk which is like an Indian biscotti) . They also have amazing twists on chai, matcha, and coffee classics. I'm definitely coming back to try the Gulab Jamun Chai Affogato summer special before it's gone

    I also got the samosa croissant which was just the right amount of savory paired with the chai.

    What a gorgeoussss coffe shop!! I have seen Daydreamer all over social media and after reading the…read morereviews on Yelp, I thought it would be a great place to spend a morning working. I circled the block before I found street parking about a block away from the coffee shop. Because it was a weekday morning, I wasn't surprised that the streets were busy and parking didn't end up costing too much. After a brief walk, I approached the building and first impressions were fantastic. Daydreamer is connected to an apartment building and the aesthetics are on point. Like, this place is gorgeous! There was way more seating than I expected, inside of the cafe, outside on the terrace, and inside of the attached leasing office. There were a number of tables, booths and even comfy couches to lounge on. Electrical outlets weren't plentiful, but I eventually snagged a booth that had a plug. Yay! There seemed to only be one menu at the front and it said 'please don't take', lol. So I stayed very close to the register as I read the menu, but I'm hoping they just ran out or my 4-eyed self missed the larger menu on display. I decided to go with the sugar graham hot latte w/ oatmilk and one of their pastries. The employee behind the counter was really patient and so kind to every customer, he was running that counter like the navy. 5-stars for him! I see why this place is such a hit among other Yelpers. I'll be back to enjoy the great coffee and good vibes!

She was so friendly and also gave great suggestions from their menu. She was the only person working because we came in the middle of the day. There were a decent amount of customers but the service was quick and efficient. I have to give her her flowers, she was the icing on top of a great experience. This has got to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing coffee shops I have ever seen. In addition to the gorgeous midcentury modern decor, there is a ton of seating available. I believe the coffee shop is attached to the apartment building, so the theme runs between both large seating areas. It was so cool! My matcha was delicious! I ended up going with the Morning Matcha (Lavender and White Chocolate, I added oat milk) and it did not disappoint! The prices were on par with other coffeehouses in the midtown ATL area. I did not have a chance to try the pastries but hopefully next time! Overall, this was a great experience! I look forward to visiting soon. Parking can be difficult in midtown so be mindful of that when visiting. Definitely a great place to study and get some work done if needed. Happy Eating!!

A little bit of spice and sweetness. Do yourself a favor and get it on sourdough. The pimento cheese can make it a little messy but I love that. It was so good I came back a few days later and brought the husband for a second try... he confirmed that it was, indeed, delicious. Our hibiscus tea and cold brew didn't wow us but it certainly did the job. The interior is eclectic, clean and organized. There is a water station that comes in handy. You're encouraged to bus your own table but staff will come around if needed. Staff interactions were very pleasant. The Daily sets a nice standard for coffee/brunch spots.

The Daily has three branches in Atlanta, one near West Midtown, about 15min walk from Atlantic station, one in Inman Park, and the third in Buckhead. Their menu features a wide variety of food: toasts, breakfast bowls, yogurt bowls, wraps, pitas, tea and smoothie, etc. I have tried the Loaded Avocado Bowl, the Breakfast Burrito, Soft Scrambled Toast, as well as different kinds of teas and juice. One thing I like it very much is that the foods are generally very lightly seasoned. For example, I was told that the eggs in burrito "did not have salt" -- it did not taste bland though, because the tortilla and cheese are both salty. I also enjoy their sourdough very very much. Chewy, moist, slightly sour -- so good that I always ask for some extra. Besides food, the dining area was colorful and bright and spacious, with both small tables and communal tables for working/eating. What disappointed me a bit was my third visit. My soft scrambled egg was overcooked and I got my side of sourdough toasted with butter the first time. Despite this, I would love to come back and try more dishes!

I'm a big fan of French cuisine and will take any chance I get to enjoy it. This time I ordered the chicken salad sandwich with chips and shared a mushroom tartine. Everything was fresh and delicious. The place has a cool, laid back but slightly upscale vibe, with good service and a lively atmosphere. It's definitely the kind of spot where people like to dress up a bit and be seen while enjoying coffee, pastries, or a relaxed meal. They also have outdoor seating, which is perfect on a nice day. If you're there around lunch, the French onion soup is very good and worth ordering. They validate parking as well, which makes visiting even easier. .

It's a beautiful, airy space with plenty of seating, perfect for a relaxed weekday brunch. The quiche rotates seasonally with fresh, in-season ingredients, which I appreciated. However, my lavender latte wasn't great, and it was my first coffee of the day. While I liked that the syrup was house-made, it didn't quite justify the price, especially when I can't count on a solid caffeine fix because it had such a bitter and sour taste to it. The latte art was worth the photo but not the price. Overall, I'd give it a 3 out of 5 just for the delicious quiche. Also loved their market area for fresh homemade picnic-style items & bevs. It's a lovely spot for journaling or catching up with a friend, but not somewhere I'd splurge on regularly.
