Emory Village — Attraction in Decatur

Unable to rate the entire shopping area when I've only been to a couple of shops. The Rise and Dine is my favorite breakfast shop. There's street parking but it's very limited. There's parking in back of the stores... but this is not obvious. There's a shop here to make your own ceramics and fused glass items. The ceramics are pre cleaned (not greenware...seams removed and first firing done... ready for first glazing). There are other shops and several restaurants within the walking distance of the Emory campus and Emory Hospital. This is a rather busy traffic area.

Their outdoor seating is delightful and mostly covered and there are always a few little finches I give a couple noodle pieces. The food they have is great though they give a basic menu they offer lots of substitutions! So you always get what you want. Come and try it, I think...
