    Chilaquiles  Orange juice  Cappuccino  Chilaquiles rellenos
    Addie S.

    Wait time was a bit long but understandable because that place gets PACKED during breakfast/brunch time and the slow service didn't help much. I am obsessed with their orange juice! Tasted so fresh! Their red chilaquiles were so savory and spicy! I love it. My boyfriend ordered the green chilaquiles rellenos and liked them a lot. Beautiful aesthetics.

    The atmosphere of this place and nice, very cozy with good music playing in the background. The food we ordered was delicious, I ordered the enchiladas verdes and my wife ordered the swissa version. You can't go wrong with enchilada verdes from here! 10/10! The desert was really good too, food and drinks in general here seem to be a bit pricey so keep that in mind. We were seated pretty fast too, it wasn't as busy since we went around 5pm. Definitely worth going back.

    Can't complain about anything here! The asada mollete is super bomb! I've had the chorizo before and it's also very good! same with Enchiladas! The Horchata latte was good! Although I wouldn't pair it with the mollete. I ended up ordering a mango agua fresca and it was refreshingggg! This place for sure gives authenticity!! I love coming here when I'm craving a Mexican breakfast! The service is good, all of the employees are super attentive (: They make good use of their space, they decorated really nicely, and do a good job of keeping things clean! It is a small location so I do prefer coming during the week bc the weekend can get super crowded!

    Al Pan Caliente is so good after I tried it the first time I had to take my mother in law to try it too and she gave it the Mexican mother stamp of authenticity! Everything here tastes fresh as if it was made in your own mother's kitchen and they certainly make sure you walk away full because these serving sizes are fit for a king. The servers here are really friendly but be warned, the space can be a little cramped. Each time I've gone there's been a wait and it can ranged from 15 minutes to an hour because they're just that popular. There's no reservation system (that I know of) so if they are full, wait with your party by the register to be seated. I literally think about these enchiladas every day and I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!

    Delicious baked goods and very good drinks. We ordered the aqua mango, aqua horchata, and the cinnamon roll. All three were delicious and fresh. We would definitely recommend this lovely authentic Mexican bakery.

    Nutella Frappe

    The sights and smells in this place are INTOXICATING. I stopped to get some coffee while I wait on my kiddo at the college and I went ahead and got a NY roll too. The Nutella Frappe and roll are delicious. But OH MY WORD, the food people are eating around me!!! I will be coming back HUNGRY. It all looks and smells so good and there is a smile on everyone's face in here so it must be delicious. I'll be back. No doubt. I may not eat the day before just so I'm SUPER hungry. Staff speaks Spanish & English and are very nice. The place is small but cute.

    Pretty good food here and the place is quite cute. The menu on the wall didn't show the prices but they had a QR code on the counter with the menu and prices. They speak Spanish there but one of the girls spoke English. My husband got Chilaquiles con carne and it was flavorful and a bit spicy. We enjoyed it. I got a marquesita but that didn't impress me. The waffle seemed overcooked and it was dry and hard and the filling was very little, not worth it. They have some huge conchas there if you're into it. Overall the food was good, dessert wasn't worth it but I would try something else next time, maybe the crepes.

    Mole Enchiladas

    I hope one day they can move into a bigger building space. But that's really my only bad thing about them. ** they are the closest food to home(San Diego Mexican ) that we have been able to find since we've moved here. It's the best taste of home We had so many wonderful foods and can't wait to try more. We even ordered one of their large sweet breads and it was soft, not dry and delicious for days afterwards. ( it's about $20, by it's self) but they have lots of smaller sweet breads and treats. The staff even during a busy time was nice, friendly and very helpful. I loooooved the mole enchiladas too

    I've been here twice and have had great experiences! The food is delicious and the service is good. The drinks are also great, i really enjoy the ice white chocolate mocha and the café de olla. I recommend to anyone willing to try :) Ps. There is limited seating. I usually order to go and enjoy in my car or if any tables open by the time my food arrives.

    La Tampiqueña and cafe de olla!

    Food was delicious, service was great, place was super peaceful even though it's small it's very welcoming! Definitely recommend trying their Tampiqueña and chilaquiles! Pastries delicious as well!!! Their famous giant concha's are a mis

    The iced coffee/frappes here are SO good.

    If you love coffee I recommend coming here, service is amazing too. I love coming here for breakfast!

    I first heard of this spot on TikTok! I was intrigued by the giant concha's that were being advertised. It's a cute little spot in Lawrenceville, it's a bit small I believe there were about 3 booths and a small bar like area with 4 chairs. I went on a Sunday morning and it was way too busy, the line was out the door. So we tried again on a Thursday morning! The wait wasn't too long. My family and I all tried los chilaquiles verdes, they were so so good! The place is clean and organized, we didn't grab dessert but it all looks soooo so delicious! Next time we'll grab some as well. I bumped a star off for service, the workers were a little rude and one even made a woman cry because of her bad attitude. Maybe it was because of the rush, but it's very unacceptable. Otherwise, I 100% recommend this spot!

    This place is always packed!…read more I can't even remember the first time I visited cafe blue but I remember I purchased an iced americano. The cafe is located in a shopping center with shared parking. I love the name and the aesthetic of this place. The staff is always really kind and patient. You definitely don't always get that kind of treatment at local coffee shops. I have tried their Einspanner and can confirm it's my favorite! The tuna smash (not pictured) was so tasty! I love the sourdough a the flavor profile of the tuna. I ate the entire thing so fast. I definitely recommend. The menu consist of a few items and they have a lot of sweet treat options available. I have my eye on the basque cheesecake! Final Verdict: if you haven't visited, you must try! I feel like the prices are worth it considering the quality that goes into their products. I would recommend looking at the menu ahead of time, because they do get busy.

    I was looking for someplace to eat in this neighborhood. Actually was looking for a waffle house…read more But thought I would try something new and interesting. I was confused about how many cars were in the parking lot 10 AM and the place was actually packed. Must be a good sign. Wanted something for breakfast and a cup of coffee tried to figure out the kiosk to order a cup of coffee, but couldn't find it so I asked person behind the counter. This was the strange thing that a coffee shop does not have coffee. So I ordered a corn latte that was different. It was really really good. For food I ordered a bagel and lox plate. It came out really colorful and decorative. The stuff on top of the bagel was really good but since I'm from New York City, I give the bagel zero stars. If they changed where they sourced the bagels from it would be 10 of 10. Price was steep for what it was but it's the economy. Everything's expensive now.

    One of my favorite cafes in Duluth! They have a big tea latte selection, which is so helpful…read more(because sometimes a girl just wants a tea and not a coffee, you know?) I've tried a variety of their drinks, and my go-to is the Strawberry Earl Grey latte. It's SO GOOD. Nothing is overly sweet, and the tea flavor really shines. My brother likes the mango matcha and my cousin always goes for the vanilla earl grey latte (coffee) or the pistachio latte. We also enjoy their sandwiches too. Would definitely recommend this place! They have a little punch card, where your 10th drink is free, and the owner is so nice! There's waves of people coming and going, but it's not constantly super packed like other places. It's not the biggest place, but you can find seating, and it's a nice place to get stuff done. I wish I could gatekeep this place, but I also want them to be successful. Go try them out!

    Summary: Great coffee, calm study cafe, just a bitter experience due to the owner…read more Black Sesame Ice Cream Latte: Yummy!! Would order again in a heartbeat. It's a couple scoops of ice cream with espresso. Pumpkin Spiced Latte: Was good but nothing outstanding. Peanut Butter Cream Einspanner (Iced): Peanut butter cream was good, but once you mix the drink together the peanut flavor is lost. If you like the darker bolder coffee taste, this is a good one to try. Vibe: Music is always upbeat and peaceful, mostly a calm study cafe but some people grab and go. Service: On my first visit I was offered a stamp card. 10 stamps, and your next item is free. The owner is always there and is very welcoming and polite, but it's only for the sake of business. It's not genuine friendliness or care for customers. When I picked up my PSL, I immediately noticed the cup was too light. I ordered a large and there was at least 1.5 inches of space between the fill line and the rim of the cup. Why pay extra for a large if I'm getting served a small? Given that the drink was prepared by the cafe owner herself, I would have been embarrassed to serve a customer such a drink. My other complaint is that I'd visited 3 times in the past two weeks, sat in the cafe for at 3+ hours each time, and was in a rush to attend a important zoom meeting, and planned to order after my meeting was over. 30 mins in, I was actively speaking on the video call when the cafe owner interrupted me to say that I couldn't sit without ordering a drink. So many parts of me want to justify her behavior, maybe she's anxious about the cafe not making enough money - but given that she has seen me before and I was actively speaking - that rubbed me the wrong way. I was beginning to feel comfortable at the cafe but that moment made me hesitant to return. If this hadn't happened, I would have considered this a 5/5 star establishment and found a go-to study spot.

    VIRAL GA PEACH MILK MATCHA…read more I continue to get messages from local folks saying that they are disappointed in the local Asian food scene... Are they disappointed in the food scene or are they just disappointed that there are no good food accounts to show them the way? Most people have trouble researching local food, I get that. I understand. I have many thoughts on this, especially when your feed is now clogged with foodies that are only money grabbing local businesses and not truly supporting the community and it's innovation. If a businesses doesn't have a "social media marketing budget," that doesn't mean that they don't have life changing food and drinks. You just haven't found them yet, because the business is not willing to pay a model to promote them. A delicious moment is when you realize that OTP Atlanta is a food travel destination. Especially, Gwinnett county. Nothing brings back a specific memory like the flavor of a beloved drink at the coziest bubble tea shop. It is my secret, hidden gem hangout spot. These moments make me question my own origins, where I live, and just like many of you --- how I take Georgia for granted. 1 Peach Milk Matcha Latte - Creamy, delicious and not too sweet. I'm surprised how well the peach flavor pairs with matcha. 2 Yuzu Citrus Drink - Super refreshing and mild citron style drink. This drink is best at 50% sweetness and with crystal boba.

Parking can be a bit confusing as there are some in the front and I believe having some In The back as well! The cute logo stands outside the door and the sign and once you go inside you are greeted by nice staff and a very spacious environment with an inviting ambiance. There was many things to do and keep yourself entertained such as board games, arcade games, claw games and tons of comfy seating. This place is perfect to hang out with friends. I ordered a Thai tea latte with oat milk and got tapioca pearls. They do charge you $1 for milk substitute and the tapioca will be 0.90 so be aware. The barista took his time allowing me to figure out what to order but also creating my drinks from scratch. He helped me out and gave me a bag to hold my drinks together. The drink itself was okay. It tasted a bit off as far as flavor wise but the tapioca was fresh. Thai tea was a bit too milky and almost as if powder hasn't fully dissolved. I think I will try a different drink next time as I wasn't too much of a fan. The service and environment is what sold me so I will be back!

I think the price point is pretty high for these items but this is also in Lawrenceville and not Duluth where it's more competitive with cafes, bubble tea places, banh mi, etc so it's understandable While I don't think this place will replace my Duluth cravings, I'd say this was a good enough runner up in Lawrenceville
