J'mz, also known as Gems or just JMZ, is my favorite restaurant discovery of 2025. I expected a run of the mill smoothie shop but JMZ has become our new go-to spot for acai bowls, smoothies, boba, unique refreshers and more.
The fresh, organic fruit and unique selection of acai and other bowl bases makes for a delectable creation that is not only hard to find in Georgia, but honestly across the whole of the US. There's a reason they advertise having the most types of bases for any bowls. We absolutely love acai bowls and anything like them and have yet to find another spot with the freshness or creativity of JMZ. The texture of the base is perfect, like a spoonable and rich sorbet, and the owners take immense pride in the testing and care that went into each one. The ability to layer two bases means you can get things like a cacao passion fruit base or a strawberry matcha base, or my personal recent discovery, cacao and ube. You simply can't find these flavor profiles at any other acai bowl spot. The toppings are ode-worthy, too. The granola is all gluten free and made in house. In addition to an array of ultra-fresh fruits and your bowl stalwarts like Nutella, you also have unique ingredients like bee pollen, homemade chia pudding and almond butter. The bowls are very generous and once you get into adding a layer territory, it's very satisfying to split. Especially if you throw an elderberry and dragonfruit lemonade into the mix.
The coffee is sustainably sourced and the chai is a family recipe with a direct hit of spice. Personal fave there is iced with a caramel syrup. The custard conctions are flavorsome and unique, from the ordinary cookies and creme to the unique chai or rose petal flavors.
The boba is also excellent. The popping boba is the best I've had anywhere, with that perfect textural pop and an intriguing array of flavors. The tapioca pearls are excellent, definitely among the best in the state.
What can't be understated is the warmth, generosity of spirit and kindness of the family that created and runs JMZ. They will immediately learn your name and order, talk with great passion about their product, and getting to know them is just part of the joy of eating here and seeing how much they care about each customer as they walk in. It's a legitimately special spot and a place that always leaves me elated to visit.
I've attached a variety of pics from different visits. If I could give 6 stars, I would, and if I could eat it every day, I'd...
Read moreFrom the time I entered the door to the time I left the experience was a 10 out of 10. Customer service these days are subpar. The owner and operator was the same person and he was very nice.He was informative and inquired if this was my first time. He was very personable and told us about each product they served. He made me feel comfortable and even the other customers screamed their praises. They had 100 grade which is unheard of. They sell custard, they sell smoothies, cold pressed drinks, acai bowls, coffee, and waffle and crossing sandwiches and even Boba. I will drive up here from Henry County to visit again. I was in the area for an appointment and stumbled across it as my entire family likes different things so this was a match made in heaven. Please visit and support. The Boba was great and they have mango and strawberry and taro. He adds brown sugar to your desired taste. He was considerate and explained...
Read moreWe finally got to check this place out today and we’re kicking ourselves for waiting so long to try it since they opened. The employee was so lovely and she took the time to explain their menu to us. We were surprised at how many things they had that ranged from coffees to custards to smoothies and sandwiches. I ordered an açaí bowl and there was so much that I had to take the rest home to finish later! My husband tried their chocolate custard and they have a range of toppings you can add in which was great as well. They roast their own coffee beans that are available for purchase as well.
The owner was so nice and chatted with us about their business. I hope more people find out about this place and that they’ll be around for a...
