    Crepe with Nutella, whip cream, Oreo, strawberries and blueberries (inside crepe)

    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.

    Excelente lugar ! Comida y ambiente ! El café delicioso El precio es accesible El pan delicioso

    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!

The Second Level / Upper Floor is reserved for if you are going to be ordering/dining in for the pastas and/or savory foods. I only tried their coffee today on the first level. I did go upstairs to check it out and did see a bunch of people upstairs just sitting and chilling on their laptops with their coffees/drinks; so they may not really enforce their "reserved for pasta dining only" rule. Not sure. Ambiance (First Level / First Floor) - clean, nice, laid-back, chill, cool environment. Casual setting. Cool architecture, design, layout, and decor. Can get loud inside as ceilings are high and can get echo-y, especially if there are alot of people. Also, there is music constantly playing in background. Service (First Level / First Floor) - customer service was quick and straightforward. They were nice and polite. A+. No complaints here. Coffee (First Level / First Floor) - tried their "Korean Iced Coffee" for $7.25. It was one size only and one price at $7.25. It was delicious. Almost similar tasting to a Vietnamese coffee in my opinion (both are delicious). That strong, brewed coffee flavor with this delicious milky, sweetened condensed milk taste. I am not exactly sure if they used sweetened condensed milk in the Korean iced coffee, but it sure does taste similar to it. It's quite good. Also had a "Large Hazelnut Hot Coffee" with creamer for $5.95. It was okay. Total with tax for the two drinks was $13.99. Keep in mind that the WiFi is on your receipt as a QR Code at the bottom. So if you want to use the WiFi, ask for the receipt and/or keep the receipt so that you can scan the QR Code in order to use the WiFi. There was no password on the receipt, only a QR Code that you need to scan. Overall - Yes I would recommend this place for a nice little coffee stop. Check it out for yourself. Enjoy!

I decided on the Crème Brûlée Croffle it was delicious and will definitely return and order that flavor again. I can understand why the Crème Brûlée is the best seller. There's plenty of spacious seating inside, this is an overall place to come study or meet up and talk for a girls afternoon out over matcha or coffee. I also ordered mango matcha and I did not like it very much as it was not sweet at all. The young lady said she could adjust the sweetness. It didn't work for me this time so I'll try it again my next visit and stress that I'd like it sweetened a lot little more than the usual sweetness. UPDATE: Earlier I said I didn't like my Mango Matcha, now I have to change that once I put the straw in my cut and stirred the matcha it was delicious. I didn't realize I shouldn't drink it from the cup without stirring first. I feel so silly now. I changed my four stars to five stars and a newbie like me now will know to stir the matcha first. I received an awards card after ten stamps I believe I get a free item. Sounds fun. Parking is not a problem there's plenty. I can't wait to visit here again.

    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!
