Despite some mixed feedback, I'm giving this spot a 4-star rating, though I debated a 3. The main reason? We came late in the day, and the selection was understandably limited. Still, even if at full stock, the self-serve bakery section appeared smaller than expected. They do have a full café setup with paninis and other made-to-order items, which helps explain the "cafe" in the name--but I had hoped for more from the "bakery" side. With slim pickings, we grabbed a few macarons. They weren't bad, but they had a slightly floury texture that made them feel less fresh, and the flavors (dark cherry, blood orange, and mango) were subtle to the point of almost disappearing. Creative choices, just not as bold as I hoped. I have a feeling my opinion would improve with an earlier visit--so stay tuned for a follow-up review when I make it back during peak hours. read more

White Windmill bakery is a cute little coffee shop in Duluth. My husband and I originally came here for our weekend coffee, and ultimately decided that the lunch options were what piqued our interest here. The interior offers a decent amount of seating, and there is also exterior seating. The gal who assisted me at the front was quick to give her opinion on drinks she thought would pair well with my lunch sandwich. The offering of Milk Teas was a huge plus for me! My husband ordered a breakfast croissant while I ordered a turkey pesto sandwich. My order came with a side of pickles and chips. For drinks, my husband got a latte and I got a milk tea. The food was quite tasty and we will be back! read more

We LIke! This place is adorable, great coffee and pastries, also the service was really great, quick! You may want to go early to get items that are fresh, sometimes the bread/ pastries are sitting out uncovered. Good Tea! Yes, check them out. read more

#vegetarian . I stopped by The White Windmill Bakery & Cafe for lunch and was impressed by the space--but the food fell a little short. I ordered the Avocado Open Face Sandwich, which looks fancy, but be aware--it's very bland. It came as a toasted slice of multigrain bread topped with cold, chunky avocado, cold sliced boiled egg, and a sprinkle of arugula. Despite the beautiful presentation, there was no seasoning and no cream cheese, as some descriptions suggest. Just plain and simple. On the bright side, the fruit cup that came with it--fresh strawberries, blueberries, and green grapes--was delicious and refreshing. One heads-up: while Yelp lists the sandwich at $10.99, the in-store price was $13.99 ($14.80 with tax). That's a noticeable difference. The café itself is beautiful--lots of natural light, plenty of seating, and a clean, peaceful environment inside and out. The restrooms were clean, and there's also a nice outdoor area to enjoy. WiFi was the biggest downside--it wasn't working at all, which cut my visit short since I needed internet access. All in all, a gorgeous place to relax, but if you're coming for flavor, you may want to try a different menu item. #WhiteWindmillCafe #AtlantaEats #AvocadoToastReview #CafeVibes #BeautifulButBland #HonestFoodReview read more

This bakery is a not so hidden gem and super popular among locals. Been coming here for years and the selection is always excellent. Everything we've tried has been delightful and light and not too sweet. They have great espresso which they roast on site as well. Good place for a casual catch up or getting some work done. Parking in the front is somewhat limited and could get busy sometimes. read more

It's a very nice restaurant and the staff was very friendly and polite. I grabbed three items to try. The first was a small item that appeared to be covered in chocolate. The interior was just a whitish cake. It was kind of like a bland version of one of the chocolate-coated mini donuts you buy in a bag from Hostess or Little Debbie, except it wasn't as good. Next up was sausage bread. It looked like it would be similar to a jalapeno cheese kolache, but it missed the mark too. The addition of corn and onions just didn't work for me. I would not get this again. The final entry was an almond croissant. This item was good, and well made. Meatloaf says 2 out of 3 ain't bad, but this was only 1 out of 3. read more

What an amazing spot here in Duluth! So happy to have found this bakery. It's now become our go-to place for the BEST espresso beverages (go-to for Americano & lattes). Their pastries are so fresh and gourmet. Wide variety of options! Everything we've tried has been excellent. Quality + taste is definitely valued here. Cute and comfortable ambience--perfect for coffee dates & studying/working. Friendly staff & quick service for drinks. read more

I always try to stop by White Windmill Bakery and Cafe whenever I'm in Atlanta. If you can, go in the morning--the selection is way better. Their croissants are so good, with really rich fillings and a cool shape that's not the usual round one. Coffee is good too, and prices are pretty affordable. Just a great little spot I keep coming back to :) read more

The ambiance, warm and inviting. With comfortable seating inside and out. Natural lighting streams in from the window. A subtle scents , blends of freshly baked breads, sweet pastries, and rich roasted coffee. It's a scent that makes your stomach rumble lol. Services is not bad, but slow. The only downfall is they do not cover up the pastries.. sorry I don't have any pictures. Maybe next time. read more

I'm a customer who has been to this location multiple times, buying coffees and pastries for me and other people. I decided to come up there today to get some reading and work done in the outside dining area and after a little time was told I have to leave since I'm not buying anything. This is such a poor business practice as you've now permanently lost my business due to greed. The worker who told me was also incredibly hostile about it. I was in a corner outside behind the building away from everyone's view being quiet and respectful. I personally wouldn't support a business that treats their customers like a wallet only. This location also claims to be a "bakery" but does not bake their own items but gets them delivered which I guess is because it's maybe they're franchised as you can't even find this location on the main white windmill website. But hey the pastries are good, the drinks are below average and overpriced, so if you like supporting an owner who doesn't care about their customers go ahead and stop by and get a yummy pastry! read more

This review applies to the Atlanta Midtown location. The customer service comes across as pretentious, staff will see you waiting for assistance and walk right past you without offering help - totally ignoring you. The sandwiches are overpriced for what you get, and on multiple occasions they've been missing the meat entirely, leaving just bread, cheese, and dressing. You're better off heading to 14th Street, where you can get a much better meal for less. read more

GREAT FIND! I love asian cafes and I love to visit different ones in Georgia. I will usually sit down for about an hour or two to study and I happened to see that there was a White Windmill in Duluth near me! It was very easy to find and the parking was convenient. The interior is very pretty and they have variety of pastry options as well as more savory sandwich options. We ordered Peach Tea and Java Chip Ice Blended along with a sandwich. Very tasty and I can tell they use fresh vegetables for their sandwiches. The drinks were also very good. The service was also very friendly. The cashier working was super sweet and the manager working was checking all the pastries and such while I was there. Seems very well maintenanced. Bathroom was very clean and well lit as well. I will be back again to study or to socialize with some friends after dinner over desset read more

My favorite Korean bakery! Happy there's a Duluth location. They have a great variety of pastries that include the typical Korean pastries like red bean bread, peanut crumb bread, castella, etc. They also have other unique pastries and snacks. You can also order breakfast and lunch sandwiches they'll make on the spot. My favorite is the fish (boonguhbbang)! One order has 10 pieces and you can order with red bean, cream, or both. Their cakes are also delicious too! Service is pretty fast, but it can get crowded very fast. Not a lot of seating, at least inside, so prepare yourself if you're wanting to eat inside. read more

Fast service and good food. Also reasonable prices. The restaurant is clean and has a nice ambiance.

Such a cute cafe. They have outdoor seating but we stayed in. The atmosphere was very friendly. They have a variety of drinks and sweet/savory baked goods. I ordered the classic milk tea and a buttercream bread. I didn't use the wifi here but you can work here if you choose. The music is quite loud and there was alot of customers for a Wednesday evening. read more

Such a lovely addition right by my house for a late night cafe spot. They have classic pastries like croissants, Korean breads, and delicious cake slices and whole cakes. They also have a full drink menu (coffee, tea, bubble tea) and a breakfast/lunch menu. I almost want to hide this part so it doesn't get overcrowded, but the cafe has a wonderful ambience to get work done or catch-up on some reading. Their pastries are fresh and tasty, albeit slightly expensive. However, the menu is great, the hours are expansive, and the staff is so friendly. I'm so happy to have this spot in the neighborhood! read more

Always enjoy the pastries from White Windmill, even if they are a bit on the pricier side. Lots of great bags of goodies that can be taken to go as well. I hadn't realized that they have a full lunch menu as well, in addition to coffee and sweets. Servers were very nice and patient while we made our selections. The only disappointment (perhaps it was the time of day) was that the dining area was too quiet -- full of folks working on their computers. We felt like having a conversation over our pastries was disturbing them! This is not an issue with WW, of course, but worth noting for those looking for a lively spot. Otherwise, lovely experience. read more

Cute & cozy environment with a clean, light wood design & scattered with a pop of fresh green plants. I could camp out here forever and knock out some work. Things you should know: I. LOCATION Within the Sugarloaf Walk Apartment complex, on the corner of the first floor. Parking is convenient and free in their private lot out front. II. SERVICE friendly III. QUALITY Great, like the main branch. Their selection isn't as large as the original but that's totally okay. The vibe here makes up for it. IV. CAPACITY For a Saturday morning, the flow of people in and out is pretty heavy but there were always available seats. So don't worry, you won't be left stranded without a table. read more

White Windmill is in a cute new shopping center next to the Suagrloaf Walk apartments. I love the aesthetic on the inside. They have a decent outdoor patio in front of the establishment, as well. On my first visit, I had the chicken pomodoro panini, which was actually delicious. Today, I had the chicken Caesar salad and a vanilla latte. Both were pretty bland... For the salad, I received the wrong dressing and it didn't have any Parmesan cheese. I mean Caesar doesn't have many ingredients, so it is the Caesar dressing and Parmesan cheese that actually make the salad and gives it the flavor! Sidenote: I went in for a sausage egg and cheese croissant, but they were out of croissants. The cashier let me know I could get it on a bagel or toast instead. So I ask for it on toast. Apparently they were out of that too. So I opted for a Turkey pesto panini instead. It turns out that they actually couldn't do any hot sandwiches. Sooo, that's how I ended up with the not-so Caesar salad. The latte really didn't have any flavor. Maybe they use sugar-free vanilla. I added honey when i got back to the office so it was fine. The coconut milk tea is pretty good. They also have dairy alternatives, such as oatmilk. Overall: It's ok.... worth a try. read more

I decided to come back hoping their Wi-Fi would work and get something as their food/drinks has always been great. Their wifi still doesn't work. I left a review here almost a year ago about the Wi-Fi and multiple friends of mine have told me the same thing. It seems that their bandwidth is limited as only a few people can hop on before it doesn't work. As a frequent cafe go-er, have experience in network administration, and business, White windmill should invest into better wireless providers or go up the tier as it bring much more business to this cafe. None of my friends come here anymore due to this reason and although the food is great and everything else is great, WW is missing out on some opportunities. read more

There are a few white windmills in the area and this is one of my favorites. I really enjoy the coffee latte or ice house coffee. The drinks here are consistent and have a strong coffee flavor. It is not bitter or burnt or fragrant. As for the bread breads, the peanut soboro bread is one of my favorites, but be warned that the peanut powder can get a little messy. The drinks come out quick and the staff is polite. They don't mind helping you out when selecting a drink or cake. They were kind enough to hold a cake slice for me to take home in the fridge until I left so it wouldn't be sitting out. This is the kind of cafe I go to to get work done but it is always a very good place to meet up to catch up with friends. The warm lighting is pleasant to work in. With the weather getting nice I will definitely be coming back to enjoy the patio area to work as well! Come check them out! read more

My new favorite wfh spot!! This cafe is an absolute gem and I was so impressed with the food and customer service. The entrance is fully loaded with fresh pastries and the walls are lined with packaged goods. I would try to get in early if you're looking to get the fresh bakery items because they run out quick! The drinks are great and the barista remade my drink when it wasn't as sweet as I expected. Super clean bathrooms, lots of places to sit, and is really quiet for a coffeeshop so great for getting work done! read more

Very nice little bakery with good coffee, delicious very high quality pastries, and nice sitting areas.

I often come to White Windmill for their milk bread which I love. The other day I also picked up a chocolate croissant and a hazelnut latte. The chocolate croissant was really good and chocolatey. If you wanna over dose on chocolate definitely get it. The hazelnut latte was nothing special but it was really smooth. read more

I think they may have the best Korean Bakery Croissants. In addition I've tried their larger Rum Cake Pastry (I think that was what it was called) and it was delicious. This space is in a newer Mixed Use Property off Hwy 120 and the space is spacious inside and outside on their patio. I've always loved the location on Buford Highway and consider their White Mocha as one of the best. I look forward to coming here more often. read more

Located just a few doors from Jinya, this cafe offers sweets and savory, beverages and desserts. A place to come with friends or alone to work. You can come with your family. All ages. The staff is chill. I like the very free and inviting atmosphere. The drink I had was okay. They ran out of boba after my order. I had asked them what was in my drink that wasn't boba, and they told me, oh it just gets chopped up. I later realized it was jelly. My friend after me ordered and they were out of boba. He got jelly and I realized they put 1/2 and 1/2 probably to compensate for not having as much boba. I would go back because of the inviting environment! Love that! read more

Food looked great but wasnt hungry. Not that smell of the place smells the freshest food as it just smells like a bunch of heated up pastries that came out of a plastic bag... i got a triple espresso with some almond milk. Coffee tasted burnt and nasty. Added a bunch of brown sugar to try and mask it but no saving. Service was great and the place looked fantastic. Just hoped better coffee at least better than star bucks and i got dunkin donuts. read more

Very decent espresso drinks. Definitely of the quality of an independent coffee shop that knows how to do espresso properly. Definitely worth getting an espresso drink here over a Starbucks. I'm not much into cakes, but they look good. Scones here are not my favorite, but at least they are not loaded with sugar, so they are decent but not great. Prices are high, though, compared to other coffee shops in the area. They bill themselves as a premium coffee shop / bakery, with the prices supposedly reflecting their superior quality. I wouldn't make this my daily watering hole because of high prices, but I do get espresso based drinks here occasionally, as this is probably the best espresso coffee shop in the radius of 3-4 miles. Full disclosure - I don't do Starbucks and consider Starbucks fast food of espresso with mediocre espresso quality and terrible taste. This shop is definitely much superior to a Starbucks. read more

Stopped by today to get some work done after being holed up in the apartment for months. We took the chance to do a quick study date, a desperately needed change from studying at home since this pandemic hit. They've done a nice job of implementing social distancing rules. Every other table is marked off, a sign is posted up at the front asking patrons to wear masks prior to entering the bakery, and large hand sanitizer placed outside for your convenience. A worker comes around and sanitizes all the tables. Inside is a beautifully decorated and brightly lit bakery. A huge HUGE plus for me is that near a majority of the tables there is an outlet plug within reach. This is a major plus for me since I tend to do a lot of my work on my computer and the battery drains so quickly. I honestly really appreciate how this bakery offers actual food items other than just the baked goods. Granted it's only from 7:30am-3pm, it's definitely nice to know I can fill up on something other than just buns or cakes. Fairly spacious with two large community tables placed in the middle (with social distancing implemented) I can see this place bustling with patrons had these circumstances not affected us. They even offer a nice patio area that offers a good number of tables for those who would like to enjoy the outside air/want to go the extra length to social distance from the other patrons. Drinks and food wise, I enjoyed my W Berry Lemonade. A little more on the sour side it was refreshing and something I think the kids will enjoy. The Milk Tea drink is pretty good though they make it from a powder base. Since we arrived a little late, we didn't get to enjoy the kitchen items though we would've liked to. The food I did have was the Honey Comb Bread which had a crunchy exterior and fluffy interior that wasn't too overly sweet. I liked this option of a honey toast bread since it's a lot simpler. In all, this seems like a very nice spot for a date night, study date, or even just friends meeting up. Had this been different circumstances I would've loved to bring friends here. read more
