Rosetta Bakery — Restaurant in Atlanta

Went to Rosetta Bakery in Buckhead which recently opened (about 2 months ago). The environment is sleek, modern, clean, but not much seating inside. The food selection is on one side and beverage on the other. We were greeted as soon as we went in and a gentleman helped us and explained the dessert options within 5 minutes. We selected 3 desserts (Nutella croissant, a small cake, and a pistachio chocolate tart) and matcha lattes. I felt the price was a bit high for the dessert portion compared to other places I go to in Atlanta but the beverage prices were about the same as other places. This is in Buckhead so I wasn't surprised by the portion to price ratio. The Nutella croissant was as expected: flaky and the filling tasted exactly like Nutella. The cake was a bit dry and not rich in chocolate flavor as hoped. Honestly wouldn't get it again. The best of the three was the pistachio chocolate tart. It was the perfect combination of sweet and nutty. The shell was crispy as hoped and the filling was smooth in texture. Truly amazing dessert. The item that was a pleasant surprise was the hot matcha lattes! The latte was creamy, frothy, and sweet! I'm not a huge matcha fan but this latte made me one! A must try! The store didn't have many places to sit for more than 2-3 people. We didn't have a hard time finding seats but I would imagine it would be during a busy weekend or evening time. A heads up, a lot of the menu items online aren't onsite in the bakery so call ahead if you are expecting to try something based on their online menu. Don't want to be disappointed or angry if it isn't in-house. I was informed by the gentleman that helped serve us that since they recently opened, they plan on rotating desserts and food options as they can't have all options available so also be prepared for options to change. He did say that you could call ahead and ask or order whole cakes in advance if desired. They do not have cake slices on site mostly deli-like sandwiches, pizza, croissants, tarts, mini cakes, and beverages. The bakery also doesn't use real plates and forks. They use wooden recyclables (environment friendly). You do have the option to have your coffee beverage in a to-go cup or if eating in-house...

We went to Rosetta on a sudden whim, and it looks more beautiful in-person than photos could ever capture. This Miami-based, social media-adored venue captured our hearts as well. Nestled in the same star-studded Buckhead Plaza occupied by some of Atlanta’s Crown Jewels (Delbar, The Garden Room, Atlas, etc.), Rosetta faces a lush courtyard vibrant with flowers, people (perhaps doing yoga on Saturday mornings), and sunshine.

The bakery is really quite expensive, and unfortunately, neither the taste nor size of the baked goods justifies the tall prices. But it is worth giving this experience at least one try, as seen by how many people are always populating this venue - and rightfully so. The unparalleled ambiance of this crowded bakery comes from it being gilded in shiny decor, shrouded in warm lighting, filled with sleek - yet comfortable - furniture, and surrounded by glass-paned goodie displays and views into the bakery itself.

After trying the Fruit Tart, Filled Croissant, and Millefoglie, they seem to use the same delicious, not-too-sweet, egg-based creme, so some variety in the fillings would have been more intriguing. Nonetheless, this creme itself was spectacular in the (decently priced) croissant! The Margherita was also delicious and hearty. Next time, we plan to try alternative items (maybe lemon- or chocolate-based) to test out other flavor profiles among their bakery selection. Would recommend paying this place a quick visit if...

I work across the street from this restaurant and was so excited to see that they had opened their doors.

As far as service, the staff are kind and offer quick service. However, I have tried to go at 7:45 on my way into the office (the posted hours state they open at 7:30) and was turned away. When I reached out to the restaurant for hours clarification, they did not reply.

As far as the food/drink, I have tried many items on the menu when I have visited since they’ve opened. The lunch sandwiches are mediocre apart from the bread, which is made in-house. I’ve tried their sweet pastries, and they are definitely the tastiest option on the menu, but I’m not sure they’re worth with the price that’s being charged. I have had a cappuccino, and matcha latte from here, and both were terrible. The coffee tasted burnt, and the matcha was pre-sweetened and tasted like it was made with some kind of powdered milk mix. With tax and tip, the matcha latte came out to about $9 to give you an idea of the pricing. Overall, I give this place 3 stars because while some of the food options are good, most items I’ve had are mediocre or poor, especially when you take into account the price of the items. I would recommend trying Henri’s down the road for a much tastier...
