    Left: Flourless Chocolate Bite topped with our signature buttercream and organic cocoa nibs -- 2 Carbs, Cinnamon Rolls -- 1.5 Carbs
    Candice T.

    I'm just getting around to posting my review from my visit around the holidays. To start, I'll just say that Zambawango has plenty of great options for those who may have particular dietary limitations/needs, and I applaud them for that. Definitely recommend! I arrived shortly after they'd opened for the day, and two women were busy in the back making a fresh batch of bagels and some other items. They immediately let me know they'd be right with me. It was quiet and I had time to look in the case without feeling rushed. I ordered a few different items to try, including coffee with the caramel sugar free syrup. While I honestly didn't love the coffee, the desserts were great! My favorites were the flourless chocolate cake, german chocolate cheesecake, and the cinnamon brown sugar cake. Absolutely delicious! The caramel walnut brownie was good as well. I had a choice of a cinnamon roll with or without icing. I went without it, and I wasn't really a fan. It had a pretty strong aftertaste in my opinion, and I think I would have enjoyed it more with the icing. I also ordered one of the cheddar jalapeño bagels. It was decent. The texture took some getting used to, which is to be expected with some keto breads. Also, they'd just been made so they weren't in the case when the young woman told me they were available. I ordered one on a whim, and I think the cheese and jalapeño sitting right on top kind of threw me off as well. I think I'll try a different flavor next time! Overall, I'll be back for sure. Different desserts are available at different times, so I'm looking forward to trying some of the other desserts that are available whenever I go.

    R and I came to Zambawango to get keto-friendly, sugar-free and low carb desserts. I had seen Zambawango a few times while driving by it on Abernathy Rd in Sandy Springs. Zambawango is in a mixed-use complex, and shares a parking garage (with free parking) with its business neighbors. The parking garage is located behind the small businesses. There were maybe 4 tables for customers to sit at in the small store. Zambawango is a small bakery and dessert shop that also serves coffees and carbonated drinks. The employee handling the order counter called out a greeting to us as we entered the store, which had that "just baked" comforting and inviting smell. We looked at all of the baked goods in the clear display cases, and I ordered a slice of coconut blackberry cake and R ordered lemon cheesecake. R also ordered a coffee (compliments of a Yelp check in offer), but was told that they didn't have any, but was offered an Americano, instead, at no charge, which R accepted. We sat at one of the tables near the display cases and It took a couple of minutes before we were handed our desserts at the order counter, with the Americano taking about 5 more minutes before R got it. Although the coconut blackberry cake was on the dry side, I thought it was delicious. The barely sweet sweetness was perfect for someone (like me) who doesn't care for things that are very sweet. R thought the lemon cheesecake was good. I thought the presentation was great, as it looked like a miniature cake. For those who count their carbs (and we don't), Zambawango lets customers know how many grams of net carbs are in each item. For the record, in net carbs (in grams) my slice of coconut blackberry cake had 4.5 net carbs, and the lemon cheesecake had 3.5 net carbs. There are lots of colorful pieces of wall art, which included pics of baked goods and cartoons.

    Yeah....the Chocolate mousse was all that. The Americano, from local coffee company Cloudland coffee, was strong and delicious. All of the in-house made cookies and treats looked great. The atmosphere on a Thursday afternoon, was quiet and relaxing. What else do I need to say? We'll be back....

    I have been meaning to try this bakery for a while now and glad I finally had a chance to! They are low carb, Keto friendly, sugar free, and gluten free bakery. Amazing, right? With so many yummy options to choose from, it took me a while to decide. I landed on four different treats: carrot cake, cinnamon roll, caramel brownie and a cookie. All of them were delicious, but I see why the carrot cake is a favorite! You wouldn't be able to tell it's low carb, keto friendly, etc. I also tried a strawberry lemonade which was refreshing. The service excellent. The staff was happy to answer my questions and explain some of the items. They also made great recommendations. Will stop by again when I'm in the area!

    My wife and I were really excited to try this place after reading other reviews as we prefer a low carb diet for the most part. I was able to get over to their location at the Serrano building on Abernathy Rd a few minutes before they closed at 4pm today. I wanted to try the red velvet cake but they were out. I decided to get several different items for us to try and settled on these items as a good test overall of what they have to offer: A plain bagel A piece of carrot cake 1 chocolate brownie 2 chocolate chip cookies Did I expect the items to be almost as good as the regular thing??? Well frankly from some of the reviews on this place--yes--- however in the back of mind I set my real expectations lower about was hoping that they would be 60-70% as good with the trade off being much lower carbs and sugar so it would be worth it. When I got home the first thing we tried was the bagel - at first I was concerned as it looked fairly small and somewhat flattish for a bagel-- anyway we gave it a try I tried it and their are 2 words to describe this bagel ---Absolutely Horrible. Imagine eating a bagel that has the texture of cornbread and that is what this bagel is. Frankly I would be embarrassed to put this out as a low carb substitute for a real bagel - if you can't even make it come say 50% as good to the real thing then why bother. This is a 0 compared to a real bagel in my opinion. Now onto the other items: The chocolate chip cookies - 1st bite impression was that it is about maybe 40% as good as a regular cookie but still had a strange texture and after taste. I only had 1 more bite after and decided it wasn't worth whatever calories it did have to finish it. The final result is I would much rather eat 1/2 (or less) of a real cookie than eat an entire one of these. Just frankly not that good for the price and calories it does have The chocolate brownie - 1st bite --about the same impression as the cookie- taste maybe 40% as good as a real brownie. My next thought is---I'd rather just have 1/2 (or less) of a regular brownie than 1 of these--even if they were the same price-- but there aren't -- these brownies cost twice to almost 3x what a regular brownie is. Even just eating a 1/4 of a regular brownie to save on sugar and carbs and calories would be better than eating one of these Next the Carrot Cake - the carrot cake looked good but when slicing it in half to share with my wife I noticed it was pretty crumbly. 1st bite impression was that it was fairly dry/crumbly. The icing was decent and had a nice texture but combined with the dry/crumble cake --the overall effect was not good. I tried 1 more bite from a different part of the cake slice but still same result --not very pleasing or satisfying. I stopped after the 2 bites and decided that it was not worth finishing Unfortunately about 10 minutes after trying all 4 items my wife and I both got sick to our stomach and had to go to the bathroom I really wanted to like this place. I was hoping to at least find a couple of items that were good Lo carb substitute for the real thing. Unfortunately it was a waste of $19.99

    Excellent Caramel Latte Cake - 4.5 Carbs, KETO & Gluten Free that didn't make it home ha!

    I have been on a health journey for about 5 years now keeping off around 50lbs. I am looking to take off more! This place is a heaven sent! There aren't many options for ppl who practice a ketogenic lifestyle. Baking with almond flour is extremely difficult let me tell you! Now that I am no longer eating sugar on the consistent basis many desserts are very sweet and very difficult to eat. I still crave a sweet option from time to time. The service was amazing the store was immaculate! The desserts came freshly made. The service was excellent. The receipt even included the net carbs for each item!!! The price point is bar none. Amanda was pleasantly welcoming and very knowledgeable. Amanda even explained the meaning behind the restaurant's name which is "Anything is possible" which is certainly true now that this establishment has blessed our community!

    Assortment of cookies and Oreos

    I stopped by Zambawango today to pick up a snack for the team. The shop is local and owned by women so I wanted to support! Also, the food is largely low carb/gluten free! I ordered an assortment of huge cookies, a spinach and feta bagel(delicious), and homemade Oreos. Each ran $2-3. The team loved them! No one knew they were low carb until I mentioned it. They went fast. Also picked up a yummy latte. The bakery/cafe is located on the plaza level of an apartment complex. I turned right on Abernathy, into the complex, then followed the sign for free retail parking and walked right inside.

    This place is known for keto friendly, carb free, healthier dessert options. As a sweets connoisseur I had to come check it out. I ordered a bday cake swirl, chocolate cake bite, kitchen sink cookie, and carrot cake. They all were good, but like in an okay way. The chocolate cake was by far my fave because it had a rich, dense flavor. The other treats were decent. I wouldn't say the items I had were like "oh my gosh" good, but it definitely works as a healthier dessert option.

    The baked goods case. Bagels, cakes, etc.
    Kiki K.

    This was a long awaited visit. We tried to visit 3 years ago but never made it. So glad they have weathered the pandemic. Tons of low carb, keto baked goods options. Tiny human picked out a brownie pop. I got a St. Patrick's Day cookie. Cute store. And they ship! Excited to try the rest of the bagels, cinnamon rolls and coffee cake we bought. Fun bit - they list the carb count of each item on the receipt.

    Stopped by here on a crispy Saturday morning to get coffee and try some healthy desserts. We ordered the carrot cake, raspberry zebra brownie, jalapeño cheddar bagel, and brewed coffee. The carrot cake is super crumbly but the flavor is pretty spot on. The icing is sweet and creamy. The brownie texture is looser than a normal brownie but for one that's low carb and gluten free, it's pretty good. The last item is arguably the best one we had- the jalapeño cheddar bagel. To call us a bagel is a bit of a stretch but since it's also a slightly crumbly texture that's held together by the cheddar cheese. Flavor is good and worth trying tho!! Coffee is somewhat unmemorable but when I asked for milk, they offered steamed milk in lil cups which was very nice. The service is very kind and friendly, we were met with cheery attitude that was appreciated. Overall, worth the visit if you're looking for some low carb and gluten free dessert substitutes!

    Yummy dessert options

    Lmao, so I spent $65 here, and you're probably thinking what did you buy or that's expensive?!? As a first timer, I wanted to try it ALL because some of the reviews had me on the fence. thank god I didn't listen to the negative Nancy's. CLEARLY, the less than 5 star reviews have to be from grouches and people with eh tastebuds. BECAUSE YALL. I tried a bite of it all, and it is WORTH EVERY PENNY. The cakes are moist. The cookies, yummy. If you don't try all of it, atleast try the TIRAMISU or CHEESECAKE. I really can't believe it. They are heaven. The texture is so good. The brownie crust. I mean. COME ON. And the low carbs/ no sugar/ no cow milk. Literally Dreamville. SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD. Support this business!!!!!!!

    Joshua B.

    It was so bad. Very disappointing. Better luck making your own gluten free foods at home and using monk fruit sweetener to sweeten. This store would turn me off completely from gluten free and sugar free if I did not know there was better tasting healthy foods available.

    pecan pie, coffee cake, cinnamon rolls, feta and spinach bagel, strawberry cupcakes

However, all of the men commented on the creativity that I chose to give them things that they wouldn't normally get at a men's retreat. PS. I did spend a nice portion of the budget because these ingredients are all carefully selected and all of the food is made with love care and concern.

But cakes from this shop are crowd-favorites! Everyone at my wedding raved about the cake, even months later people still brought it up. I highly recommend this business.

    We had a great time tasting cakes with our wedding planner, Jordan Flowers of Wedding Belles, and…read moreKathryn ("Kat") Steed, sole owner and cake maker at Lush Cakery in Marietta. Jordan recommended Lush Cakery to my fiancee and me (our planner does not accept kickbacks, but instead passes on any discounts she may get on to us) and that is enough praise for me. My fiancee, through her own research, noticed that Lush Cakery has had a hand in a lot of nice weddings in Atlanta. She absolutely loves the look of Lush's cakes (she describes them as beautiful, fun, and creative). I asked Kat how many weddings she did last year and she told me, if I recall correctly, 185 (all by herself!). She doesn't plan on doing that many per year going forward, but she definitely has the experience and is well known in the Atlanta wedding community. Kat moved into a cute space just off Marietta Square a couple years ago. There's a retail space, open four days a week, and a tasting room, available by appointment only. The shop can also be booked for small events like bridal and baby showers. Kat was waiting for us promptly at our appointment time. My fiancee and I were accompanied by our planner for the tasting. The tasting room was quaint and charming. It reminded my fiancee of an attractive sitting room, like something you would see on HGTV. We got to know Kat and she got to know us. She let us swipe through cake designs on her iPad while talking to us about our wedding, our tastes/visions for our cake, and how our cake would align with our wedding overall. For example, we talked about the season of our wedding, whether it's going to be indoor or outdoor, etc. These kinds of things can affect the ingredients and flavors of our wedding cake. There was a menu at the table with Lush's most popular wedding cake flavors. We tasted the following six flavors: * Salted caramel * Amaretto white chocolate red raspberry * Triple chocolate hazelnut * Grand Marnier strawberries and cream * Cinnamon * Cream cheese pound with lemon curd Kat had the first five flavors in the list above ready to go on a plate for each of us. The last one was requested by my fiancee who was interested in trying the lemon curd after seeing it on the menu. My eyes lit up as I bit into these cakes. What impressed me most about them was actually not their flavor, but their consistency. Every single slice was perfectly fluffy and moist. They were tender and delicate with good crumb. Flavor-wise, they were sweet, but not too sweet. My favorite flavors were the salted caramel and the strawberries and cream. My fiancee's favorite flavors were the amaretto white chocolate red raspberry and the triple chocolate hazelnut. My fiancee thought both the strawberry and cinnamon tasted delicious, but were a little too simple for her tastes. The cream cheese pound cake with lemon curd was outstanding, but we agreed that we liked the lighter, less dense textures of the other cakes for our wedding cake. Everything we tried tasted great, so what it really came down to here was personal preference. We want a classic, elegant looking cake so Kat suggested a traditional three-tier round cake. We'll have it decorated with flowers from our florist, Julie Coffin of Unique Floral Expressions, who is one of the rock stars of the Atlanta wedding industry and whom Kat has worked many weddings with. We chose our cake and icing flavors, along with a fun design extra, and were quoted under $700 for our cake (tax and delivery included). The cake will serve 100. We'll have more than 100 guests, but there will be other dessert options too. Kat's quote is about $200 higher than another quote we recently received, so Lush is on the higher side. However, the other quote did not include an extra design element and the Lush quote also includes a "complimentary" anniversary tier a year after our wedding. A $150 non-refundable deposit is required to secure a date. We received Kat's proposal via email quickly after our meeting. My fiancee had a question and it didn't take long for Kat to respond. All in all, this was a wonderful experience. Now we just have to make a decision! Throughout our wedding planning process so far, this has turned out to be the most difficult decision yet.
