The staff is always so kind and welcoming, which makes every visit even better. I also love their food and can't wait for their full menu to return. The egg toast and breakfast sandwich are both amazing--fresh, delicious, and the perfect pairing with a matcha.

Me and my wife stopped by Sidecar Coffee on my birthday not too long ago. We were exploring DT…read moreChamblee and realized there was a coffee shop inside Chamblee Tap & Market. They had some seasonal drinks for February. I got a strawberry matcha drink and my wife got an iced coffee. My matcha was really good! I don't normally like matcha, but when combined with strawberry, I LOVE it. The drinks are averagely priced, and they have a good selection of different drinks. The staff were really friendly and answered the few questions we had about some of the drinks. There is plenty of seating inside, but we ended up sitting outside because the weather was really nice! Sidecar is located inside's Chamblee Tap & Market. There are a few parking spots next to the market, which is where I parked. We look forward to stopping by again in the near future!

Block & Drum is an incredible space with lots of events throughout the week. They have a classy…read moreinside part which usually has chairs and seating, then they have a giant outdoor space with a huge screen, green turf space, and more seating. They set up multiple bars for bigger events so you don't have to wait on line for long, and they typically already include tax and gratuity automatically. They've switched to valet parking only, or at least for the event I went to. It was $15 but they say you can park for free at the Walmart down the road.

I opted to park at the Wal-Mart and wasn't as familiar with the trail so I took the street route. Well-light and populated for safe crossing. The venue is very open and was relatively empty since we arrived shortly after it opened. I love the indoor seating concept with plenty of couches, movable chairs, tables near the open-area space and smaller sections for 2-4 people tucked away along the wall. The DJ was already doing his thing and the bartenders remained busy. As someone who wasn't interested in the drinks, I appreciate that there was a self-serve water cooler in the center of the room. The Jenga and jumbo Uno cards were a hit!!!! It was so nice to have these options available. And as others mentioned, the large screen was playing a classic movie - which we could still see from inside. I didn't stay long and this was a Sunday night but the parking lot was much busier when I left. I imagine the outdoor space gets crowded later in the evening as well. The DJ was just okay - not my cup of tea - but folks seemed to be enjoying themselves. I can definitely see why this place is popular. Although parking is less than desirable, it is not unreasonable. The venue is well-lit and easy to move around. The crowd was diverse, with various ages and backgrounds represented. And depending on the DJ, this would be a great place for meeting with friends, date night or just zoning out to some wonderful music ... especially on a beautiful night. If you're in the mood for something different AND don't mind the trek to Chamblee, check it out.

Located in the plaza in Dunwoody, I stopped into Lucky Goat Coffee for a treat and went with a…read morecinnamon roll paired with a cold brew flavored with Hawaiian hazelnut. The cinnamon roll was perfectly balanced--not overly sweet--and paired really well with the bold, flavorful cold brew. The coffee itself was strong, smooth, and had a nice depth from the flavoring without being overpowering. Service was just as memorable as the drink. The team member who helped me was kind, attentive, and very helpful, which made the experience feel welcoming from start to finish. The ambiance is calm and cozy, with a nice mix of seating options--bar-style seating, comfortable chairs in the entryway, seating in the back, and a few patio chairs for those who want to sit outside. The menu also looks extensive, especially the summer drink options, which I'm already looking forward to coming back to try.

Parking space can be limited.

I tried a large Matcha Latte ($5), which was delivered in less than 5 minutes of ordering. The drink tasted smooth and had the perfect amount of matcha. I liked the fact that the latte was not very sweet.

I actually bought a Magic Tree House book because it was bilingual and they had Traditional Chinese characters with bopomofo (alphabet) alongside the characters. I have never seen a bilingual book like this before! They have some cute stickers and cards here too. I also saw a small selection of snacks and condiments like chili crisp. The cashier (who was probably the owner) was very nice! She spoke English and Mandarin.

The staff were beyond friendly, able to tell me about the new products I was interested in, and discuss the tea knowledgeably. The boutique was so cute we took our time checking every corner of the shop, and walked away with some lovely new pens for journaling. I'll be sure to come back any time I'm near here! And the surrounding complex had a surprising array of food, a lovely indoor/outdoor eating area, and stores full of international goods of many kinds. Maybe next time calls for a visit to Dim Sum next door followed by some tea from their shop!

It even has managed to impress friends who don't adventure too far outside of their own American culinary tastes. The sweets here are the perfect amount of sweet. The savory items also contain a perfect hint of sweetness that somehow ties it all together. I've even had a matcha (less sugar) made here and my God it was unexpectedly delicious. I usually spend about $20-ish and share my bag full of goodies with my folks. I love that you can get a lot with a little -- the dollar still stretches here! Sometimes their open hours are a bit off, as if been before during regular hours and they've been closed. I'll also add that the entrance can be confusing as Family Baking shares space or simply is owned by Rolls Village. None of this stops me from stopping by. The cherry on top is that the service is truly phenomenal. I love being greeted where I spend money, and the guy who frequently mans the cash register has such great energy. He's efficient as hell too! When I visited, he skipped through the tipping portion of the POS both times... so I'm not sure if they accept tips but I won't complain too much about that LOL. Go!!!

Everything is pre-made - sandwiches, wraps, salads and there's a variety of baked goods available as well. Order at the counter and you can stay to eat or drink your beverage. There's a few tables but not a bunch so it feels cozy. The decor is calm, soft green colors and art on the walls. The shop is adjacent to the lobby and front entry so you get a view of the traffic outside. When in the area, try them out as a break from the larger coffee chains. They have a solid menu and are really chill.
