    Delicious Pancakes and breakfast, excellent service. Awesome , eclectic atmosphere. It's located in Historic Norcross in a walkable area, a lot of cute shops close by .

    Bacon quiche, iced chai latte

    I came here for the breakfast burrito, and was disappointed to find out they only have them Fri-Sun. Luckily, the iced chai latte and bacon quiche were both delicious! I've been on a hunt for good chai lattes since having to give up coffee. They're hard to find! But this one is great.

    Delicious Iced Americano at an extremely reasonable price... $3. Ambiance is great, spacious interior with a variety of seating. Couches, tables, barlike seating, and outdoors. Very cordial staff. Can't ask for much more!

    Tucked away in downtown Norcross, 45 South Cafe offers the perfect getaway for a sip of coffee. I had the house latte and it wad the perfect drink to have on a chilly fall sunny day. The house latte had a hint of vanilla and cinnamon that just warms up your body and soul. I had mines with oat milk which gave it the perfect nutty flavour on top of it. They have lots of tables and sockets so it's great for working and studying as well. The windows in the cafe are quite large so you'll get a lot of warm sunlight too which always is great! Definitely would recommend checking out this place.

    Cutest little coffee shop in Historic Norcross. The place has descent sitting with very welcoming and warm decor. The attendant in the front was the funniest and made the time there better. Seems like they also have regulars that talk to each other like family and that was pretty cool to see. There options are not very extensive but the things they did have were very good, I especially enjoyed the quiche.

    I loved it!! Love at first sight the shop was cozy, clean and had just the right amount of light. It's big for a coffee shop, which is great. I walked in and fell in love with the smells that greet you as you walk through the door! There are so many options to choose from! They do wayyyy more than coffee or pastries. They offer lunch and dinner. This is consider a neighborhood mom and pop shop, it's very personable. Makes you feel right at home.

    This cafe is located in Historic Norcross and serves breakfast all day. They have a few tables in the front, inside and an outside patio. There's tons of art on the walls for sale and its very spacious inside. The server was very helpful and honest in his recommendations for coffee and breakfast. I decided to go with the breakfast burrito and made it into a bowl with potatoes and a side of gouda grits.... yum, right! The breakfast burrito bowl had eggs, pico de gallo, black beans, cheddar cheese and potatoes. I decided to mix in my side of gouda grits and it was delicious, each bite was so scrumptious; the potatoes were extra crispy, just how I like it. Gouda grits were creamy and perfect and complimented the breakfast bowl. The bowl, side grits and coffee came to $17.12. In addition to the food the, service was fantastic. Everyone had beautiful smiles, checked in on the table periodically and kept the coffee flowing.

    Love this quaint place. The coffee is good but I especially like their pumpkin and banana breads. Sometimes ill stop by just for that! This is a great spot for meeting up with someone for business or pleasure. Plenty of room to sit and meet or talk.

    I came in with some friends for a late breakfast. Our server was friendly and promptly took our orders. I had a breakfast bowl. This had yummy cheese grits on the bottom with eggs and bacon on top. It was $6 and very filling. I appreciated that when I asked the server about the bowl and a higher priced breakfast, he didn't try to push the more expensive option. My friends all enjoyed their choices also. This was a fun place to come into with friends. We sat in the back and loved that we were kind of by ourselves back there so we didn't bother anyone. I look forward to coming back another time and do recommend this place.

    Omelette with smoked Gouda grits.
    Cathy P.

    Local breakfast places are hard to come by. Menu here is very limited but they have the basics. This is a great place to meet a friend for brunch. Located in the historic area of Norcross this is a great way to support local. I had the omelette with chicken sausage, cheese and mushrooms. It was served with my choice of grits with smoked Gouda cheese and a biscuit. I cleaned my plate if it tells you anything. Ha ha! They also have an assortment of muffins and baked goods if you are looking for something smaller. Service was ok. Nice guy but I had to keep asking for coffee refills. No problem though since I wasn't in a hurry. After eating you can walk around and enjoy some of the other stores in the area. I'll keep this place in mind for a special, relaxing meet up with a friend.

It is located in Historic Downtown Norcross - which is a lovely area in and of itself. They primarily offer interior seating, but do have a couple of bistro tables sitting outside for those that want the view/feel of the downtown area. The interior decor makes the place feel beyond upscale. The location can get busy, so it's advised to make reservations (especially on busy nights). The price you will pay for the amount of food you receive is outstanding. Dominick's offers different prices for salads and entrees on their menu. Upon my first visit here, I made the mistake of thinking these were lunch and dinner prices, when instead they are half size and full size prices. Their half size options serve 1 to 2 people - which is great for couples, while their full size options serve 3 to 4 people - making this more family friendly. My husband and I usually order an appetizer, half size salad, and a half size entree to share each and every time we are here. It's more than enough food for us both, and we've never had a meal here that we did not love.

Elevated dining (think linen tablecloths and chandeliers), I saw a lovely outdoor courtyard eating space but we ate lunch in their dining room. My friend and I split a number of their petite plates so we could try a lot of things! We got the croissant loaf with whipped fig butter (literally causing me to salivate thinking about it now), seafood dumplings , salt and pepper sea bass and crabcakes We decided to indulge with a couple delightful cocktails- I got the lychee G&T and my friend enjoyed the cucumber basil matinee. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend Pêche Modern Coastal!

Pour that on with the butter, now that's a good thought. They need something to make it stand out. I tried the shrimp and grits. First thing first, don't get this dish if you're really hungry. They bring it out in a really big bowl and it's just a little bit.. the chicken sausage is cut up whole like chopped hotdogs. It really looks lazy and unappealing. The flavor wasn't bad, not great, but not nasty. Nothing special at all. Now for the restaurant itself (decor), I liked it. I think it's a great setting for lunch indoors or outdoors. I'd try them again for dinner to see if it's better, but going back for brunch, not likely.

From the outside, it looks pretty tame and unassuming for a coffee shop, but the moment you step inside, it's like walking into a completely different universe. The interior is absolutely gorgeous. I kid you not, it makes you feel like you're sitting inside a real-life geode! The walls are lined with the cutest shelves and unique little trinkets. Their counters were stacked with all kinds of delicious-looking treats, and I honestly had a hard time deciding what to get. I finally settled on a chai tea and a caramel croffle. What really blew me away was how different this place feels from a standard chain coffee shop. The staff genuinely made me feel welcome and cared for. Within just a few minutes my order was ready. The chai tea tasted so authentic, not like it came out of a mass-produced bottle. And the croffle? Perfect. It had that beautiful subtle essence of a flaky croissant. And the caramel wasn't overly sugary at all so you could actually enjoy the rich flavors. I had the most pleasant afternoon here. If you're ever in the area and looking for a cozy spot to unwind, you absolutely have to check this place out! #ashsaidit #fyp #coffeeshopvibes #aestheticcafe #coffeelover #croffle #hiddengems #supportlocal #johnscreekeats #johnscreekcoffee
