Conveniently right at onramp to 85, I happened on this delightful coffee shop by chance and was blown away by this gem of a cafe that coffee lovers will not be disappointed. First, YES, they actually have Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans as well as served to order!!! It is rare to find cafes that serve this -even Starbucks rarely Carrie’s JBM coffee. (If you’ve never had it, try a cup of the world’s best and very limited coffee). This cafe is adorable and inviting from the moment you pull up. Like the best of modern European and Asian cafes, blended together. The decor was thoughtfully put together, the cafe was spacious, exceedingly clean, bright without being glaring or stark, and just very inviting atmosphere. There were several tables with people working on laptops, and the tables were spaced apart so you could have privacy when crowded. It was very white (in color theme decor). The restroom was super clean. The service was great - both staff worked together to help me with my choices, being my first visit. They were kind, friendly, sweet and polite. This was refreshing to experience such service. The FRESH bakery selection including what I call Asian cakes ( like at Korean or Japanese bakeries, the beautiful and delicious works of art cake creations), was fantastic- they even had a great selection of macarons, including pink 💗heart-shaped strawberry macaroons💗!! I ordered a lavender latte with almond milk and it was perfect!! A slightly-warmed chocolate croissant to go, and I thoroughly enjoyed both. There are so many gorgeous desserts, it was hard to choose. I look forward to going again and again soon! Will try the pistachio croissant, almond croissant, the choco cakes, macaroons, muffins. It all looked great and the coffee drink selection was excellent! Oh, and I was asked if I wanted a reward card (this was impressive because so many businesses miss the boat on repeat business by not mentioning to each customer about their reward programs. ) Try this cafe - worth the drive, and great stop if you’re on 85 in Suwanee, GA....
Read moreThis spot is … interesting. With complete honesty, I will never trust a coffee shop that asks me if I want a 12 or 16oz cappuccino. I think if you offered an Italian a 16 oz cappuccino, they’d immediately drop kick you. Because ….. is that a cappuccino at this point? Or just a latte with extra foam? Either way, I made a comment about the cappuccino being offered at 16oz, which I think pissed off the barista and caused them to put 0 effort into my drink. It was a comment, but by no means was I being rude. And I did tip them. My drink was weird, it was yummy (?), but weird. I didn’t touch the espresso until I was about 75% done drinking the massive amount of foam on the top. I genuinely could not tell if they even put espresso in the drink initially. (See photo)
Overall, I will not come back here. I stopped here for coffee and with the hopes of sitting to get some work done, but the vibe of this coffee shop is a bit inauthentic, fluorescent, with overall vibes giving stepford wives. That being said, I left after finishing my coffee as the elevator jazz music was driving me insane. With all that being said, if you are a Caucasian republican mother, you’d probably love this establishment.
Note: their bathrooms were absolutely disgusting, reeked of diapers at 9am, and the cleaning sheet was not filled out. Who knows when the last time it was filled out or throughly cleaned for...
Read moreSome parking available by the coffee shop. Employees all wore masks. The inside is really spacious and welcoming - soft Korean music playing in the background. Great place to study or work! There is free wifi available, and even bag hangers you can borrow so you don’t need to buy your purse on the floor or take up an extra chair.
They have a variety of drinks and desserts available. However, no more macaroons.
Matcha Latte: it was more sweet than what I typically like. My mom ordered a lavender latte said it was a bit too sweet too. Also felt like their cup sizes seem smaller, lol or maybe I just wanted more to drink.
Sweet potato cup cake: loved the packaging, it’s really cute and comes with a little spork. Not too sweet and very light tasting. They have other flavors as well!
Raspberry white chocolate cheesecake: not sweet and has a hint of sourness to it from the raspberry. I would’ve preferred for it to be a little harder instead of it being super soft. The bottom part is looks like a biscuit/cookie is also soft. (Sorry I cut into the cake before I remembered I didn’t take a picture yet 😭) Would suggest maybe looking into smaller boxes for to go orders. My cheesecake was having a joy ride on the way home 😆

I did have everything to go this time. The order did take a while but gave me the time to...
