The new location has terrible parking! The new "look" is amazing! The pictures and the designs on the tables were pretty dope too! But to be totally honest, my food was not as good as it was my past few visits. It was literally just ok and the prices have been raised! They did not used to sell half sandwiches and why would I pay $14 for that!?? So I ordered a full with a side of mac n cheese (which I could've skipped because it wasn't great at all). This was an HOUR drive and unfortunately this time it wasn't worth it. Even the tomato soup didn't taste the same, it wasn't nasty but it wasn't delicious like it used to be. The four stars were for the look of the restaurant and the customer service, the food was an easy 3 star. read more

OPEN IN MIDTOWN- Just where you need it by the Fox Theater, Emory Hospital and visiting friends that live in Windsor. What you would not expect from grilled cheese. Think of a meal rolled into a sandwich. Ingredients are fresh and several made in house items with the complimentary tomato soup with your sandwich and the juices. Chef Alexander and his staff are very nice and friendly. Place is clean and a good vibe for indoor or outdoor seating. read more

My gawd!! This sandwhich was everything you could imagine soul food to be... on a grilled cheese! The flavor was so unmatched. I had crumbs everywhere on my clothes and didn't care! lol I'm on vacation but can't wait to get another one when I return. This is now going to be a staple for me anytime I'm in the mall. read more

& Cheese ATL - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Located inside Lenox Mall by Bloomingdales. Black-owned business. Specialty: different variations of grilled cheese sandwiches. Friendly service. The food: the bread is perfectly toasted and soooo buttery. Don't be weirded out about the addition to collard greens in the sandwich. It marries well with the ingredients. Also, first glance the serving size for the soup is super small and the taste honestly isn't that great by itself. It's oddly spicy. HOWVEVER: dip the grilled cheese sandwich in it and it's perfect. It's the perfect amount for the sandwich serving and it's the perfect spice combination for the sandwich. We tried 2 different kinds of sandwiches and it paired nicely with both! read more

I ordered the ATL; it was pretty good, though I personally wasn't a huge fan of the sweetness component from the cornbread and would have preferred a more savory sandwich. The sandwiches also come with a small cup of tomato soup that's got a kick to it. Prices are a bit high for grilled cheese. Staff is friendly and vibes are good! read more

I am only disappointed that my stomach wouldn't permit me to continue... My husband was bummed that he couldn't stay until there was an opening for more cheese in his stomach. We had the Vinings. We will be back! read more

This was my 3rd visit and while I love the concept I don't think I can further support this business. The service was subpar. While we waited 25 minutes for our sandwich, the woman at the other table stated she had waited 40 minutes. The cook in the back came out and yelled at the server/cashier, "clear the tables and don't take anymore orders until we catch up!" We shared a midtown and while it was tasty, the minimal corned beef could have been warmer and the bread a little less brown. It was almost burnt!. The soup while hot was spicy and thick. I didn't like it. It was different than last time as I recall. The beverage options were limited. All items on the menu board were not available. read more

So I asked for the food to stay and it was given to me in a to go platter bc they didn't have any clean wooden trays they serve the sandwich on if you stay in to eat. There isn't a lot of space and their were only 3 employees one in which came in and jumped right on the register as another employee went into the back to assist. I asked what was recommended and was told the Atl so I went with that and requested no Swiss I was told it's a blend but don't worry I won't taste it so I trusted them. It took about 10-15min for my order and the sandwich comes with a sample size tomato soup that was pleasant. The sandwich had cornbread included in which I thought would be crumbles but was a whole slice in the middle which ultimately took over the sandwich. I only ate half of the sandwich as I ordered the Mac and cheese which was pre cooked and just heated up and served in a coffee cup with top. Not to mention here we are a few hours later and my stomach is in shambles and this is the only thing I've had all day. Let's just say for the $24 spent I'm very much disappointed. read more

& Cheese is a very cool concept. I love a good grilled cheese, but would've never thought of the different combinations that & Cheese Atl provides. We ordered the Ormewood (vegan), ATL, and the Beltline. The sandwiches were really good! They each come with a bowl of tomato soup (a little on the spicy side). The restaurant gives a nice cafe feel, and service is pretty fast. read more

The place is located in Lenox Mall and has a cute setup. It's very spacious to be in the mall. A friend and I were walking past it and decided to drop in. I didn't care for the sandwich I got because of the Mac and Cheese on it. The soup was yummy! However, it felt like I spent a lot on a little bit of food. I would try something different the next time I visit because the staff is friendly and they do have a good menu. read more

& Cheese ATL - Vinings (Lobster) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

& Cheese is an Atlanta-based eatery specializing in sourdough gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. It is located in the top level of Lenox Mall closest to Bloomingdale's. & Cheese is clean, bright, and comfort-chic. I love the tabletops with maps showcasing popular metro-Atlanta neighborhoods. Customer service was solid. Food and beverage always comes out in a reasonable timeframe. I ordered The Vinings (Smoked gouda and munster, lobster mac & cheese), The Little 5 Points (Seasoned sourdough, pepperoni jack, aged white cheddar, swiss cheese, gruyere, spicy pickles, honey), tomato soup, and banana pudding cheesecake, and pineapple ginger lemonade. During a prior visit, I have also enjoyed the Ormewood (Seasoned sourdough, vegan sausage, collard greens, vegan cheese blend, balsamic glaze, caramelized onions, portobello mushrooms). & Cheese truly elevates the humble grilled cheese sandwich. Every sandwich is pressed and dressed in front of you and they do not skimp on the cheese! I don't think you could go wrong with any of the sandwiches - it's more a preference of which sandwich excites your taste buds more. My favorite sandwich so far is the Little 5 Points. It is advertised as a play on sweet and spicy, but I think it's more of a take on sweet and tangy. The hint of spice in the pepperoni jack and pickles really balances the honey finishing drizzle. & Cheese is known for its gourmet sandwiches. However, I actually visit for the soup, which I personally think is one of the best in Atlanta, and their desserts. The soup is not chunky and is flavorful. I would recommend buying the large; the small is rather small and I love having soup to take to work for lunch. I also love the notion of dessert in a jar, and their cheesecakes (strawberry crack, banana pudding, and peach cobbler) are really good. My general rule of thumb is that you should order juices in label-less containers. The pineapple ginger lemonade has a good sweetness level and just enough ginger not to overwhelm the pineapple. read more

This was great experience for a quick casual dining spot. Located inside the Lennox square mall. On this trip I was with a friend visiting from out of town and I wanted her to have a lunch experience that she can't have at home. We ordered the beltline and split it and they provided us with a extra serving of the soup. It was the perfect combo, portion correct and flavored perfectly. The ambiance in the restaurant is nice with background music playing. Not too loud and the staff was amazing. Food was served piping hot and plated in a way I wasn't expecting. On my previous visit, I ordered to go so I wasn't aware of how nicely it would look when delivered to our table. read more

This is a simple and nice concept. The menu is board enough to have variety yet small enough to not feel overwhelmed. I loved the tables with all the different parts of Atlanta. Super cute. I had the ATL. It has Aged White Cheddar , Gruyère, Swiss Cheese , Gouda , Mac & Cheese , Collard Greens , Cornbread, Cup of Tomato Basil Soup. And it works! The cup of soup is the perfect compliment. I really wanted to try the pineapple ginger lemonade but it was freshly made and hot at the time. I was disappointed that they did not carry ice. Just felt a little strange for a restaurant. I missed out on trying a dessert but my sister with me says they are great. It was a tad hot in the spot but they did have fans so that helped. All in all, I will go back. Especially to try the lemonade and dessert. read more

Went to this location in early September 2023 - It smells really good when you are walking in the mall - nothing like a grilled cheese and tomato soup on a chill afternoon or evening. This is the thing, it comes across as a pop up shop. No real gas connections or fans pushing out the exhaust of smoke from the grilling - the set up is simple but it doesn't seem very, it just seems to me like the experience is more powerful when you have cooks wearing all white, covered faces and grins behind the masks. But you can't wish for everything... would I visit again, probably. The grilled cheese was tasty and light weight, perfect for the mall arena. Give them a try if you are a cheesehead/ Lots of cheese combinations that could cause your mouth to water read more

Grilled cheese sandwich themed shop, with cool, cozy décor and a small (7 sandwiches), but interesting menu. During our visit, we had a long wait (20 min.) from order to food being served, and it wasn't very busy. Allure was working up front and was friendly and helpful with menu selections. FOOD: We tried the ATL Classic ($15), their signature grilled cheese on seasoned sourdough, with aged white cheddar, gruyere, swiss cheese, gouda, mac-n-cheese, collard greens, and cornbread. We also tried the Little Five Points ($15), served on seasoned sourdough, with pepper jack, aged white cheddar, swiss cheese, gruyere, spicy pickles, and honey. Both sandwiches were accompanied by a small bowl of Tomato Basil Soup. The sandwiches and the soup were delicious. Bottled sodas were $3.50/ea. I would definitely recommend this place for a tasty lunch treat. read more

This is my second time coming to this place, and something is up with the soup! lol I'm just wondering, how hard can it be to upkeep soup? I personally really enjoy dipping classic grilled cheese with tomato soup.. I'd assume the sandwiches they put together would be great for dipping. The first time they said they were out of soup, I didn't waste time trying. Despite there being no soup I wanted to try them out this time. They were out of other things as well.. . The design is very clean and chic, I also enjoy the aroma. If you get a full sandwich beware, it can be heavy lol I should've gotten a half. Great for someone who can handle a full, for good value. I got the Atlanta.. I think that's what it was called. It included greens, cheese, Mac & cheese, and cornbread. The cornbread was sweet! The Mac was a bit much, but I should've expected that. The service is eh. The cashier who is young lady doesn't seem to be enthused to be there. There's a gentleman with dreads, hair all out, hat titled... Management needs to do better. This place seems to have a lot of potential! I'd like to give this place another try. Hopefully I can catch them when they have soup :) read more

& Cheese ATL - The ATL (Our Signature) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Overpriced and not worth it. We waited over 30 mins for a half sandwich and lobster Mac and cheese that had no lobster. I paid over $40 and it was a disappointment to say the least. The Mac and cheese was extra greasy and tasted precooked without a proper balance of flavors. The sandwich was mediocre and. It worth the $15 I paid. For a start up, there's room for improvement after witnessing the operations of this business. . read more

Yooooooooooooooooo, took me back to my broke childhood with the grilled cheese but hit me with the expensive taste. Real talk thought, it was worth every penny. Came with my daughter and wife. We ordered the vinings x2 and the ahhhhh forgot (look at the pic). They were grilled to perfection, tasty and paired well with their tomato dipping sauce. It was $21 for a grilled cheese sandwich but eggs are $10 a carton so ‍. To top off out lunch we opted in for dessert. I had the peach cobbler and the wifey n child had the turtle. We had a great lunch break while shopping. We will be back read more

I was shopping in Lenox a few weeks ago and was super hungry. I remembered I've been wanting to try this place, so this was my opportunity to do so. I walked in maybe 20 mins before closing and there was one other person in there. They were cleaning up, but the lady stopped to take my order. I originally wanted the Beltline, but didn't want the collard greens on the sandwich and wanted them on the side. To do this, it would have been an upcharge, which I didn't think was worth it. I opted for the college park and thoroughly enjoyed it, along with the tomato soup. It was all of the remnants of my childhood. I'll definitely be back to try some other options in the future. I loved the concept. If you're in Lenox, check this place out. read more

Today is Father's Day--a day in which fun and smiles have been replaced by sadness for me ever since my father passed away 6 years ago.

The service was kind and friendly. The ambiance is casual and clean. The grilled cheese is delicious. My mom and I shared the "Buckhead" (Seasoned Marble Rye, Aged White Cheddar, Gruyère, Smoked Gouda, Portobello Mushrooms, Caramelized onions , Basalmic Glaze , Truffle oil , Cup of Tomato Basil soup). It was so buttery and flavorful. We enjoyed dipping it in the tomato soup. I can't wait to come back and try more. Thank you for serving us today. read more

Has to be easily the most "Stay away" restaurants in and around Atlanta to me for its service. Never have I been fed up with a service like this and wouldn't recommend going here if you value your time and have some respect for yourself! (You can read the Background to understand more else you can move on to the food, service & ambience part). We ordered ATL and CollegePark. Both of them had no meat and we confirmed it as well while ordering. They came with a small cup of Tomato Basil soup. ATL Sandwich - A grilled sandwich with a sourdough bread in the center with Mac&Cheese and some cooked Collard greens. It tasted a bit sweet and wouldn't exactly say it was great. Was just okay. Wouldn't recommend it. CollegePark Sandwich - A grilled sandwich with different cheeses. It was to me really really great. If you have been to a brewery, you might find this under Kids Menu at times. But never the less this was really good. Tomato Basil soup - Came in a very tiny container and tasted like Marinara sauce in a liquid consistency. It was okay. The ambience was decent but a some amount of food was spilled all over the floor. The service was too slow since there was only one guy doing everything. Even if the food isn't good I'm someone who expects good service and hospitality. We didn't ask for a ToGo yet he gave us stating it's almost closing time and he needs to wrap up. That was totally unfriendly and unacceptable. OVERALL: A very average restaurant with sub standard level of service. The sandwiches aren't that great. Not planning to visit again. =============== ============== ======= ========== Background: A friend of mine recommended this restaurant few months back and today got a chance to try this. We reached around 7:15PM and they had considerable amount of people in the restaurant. We had a look at the menu and then the cashier/ cook/ waiter came and took our orders. Never did he mention that he can offer only ToGo nor did he even give us a choice. He happily took the order and started preparing some one else ToGo order. To my surprise he was the only person working and doing all the things by himself. He made the sandwiches for someone else (ToGo), packed them, took the trash out, cleaned the grill and then started to make our order by 7:40 I believe. In 5 minutes he completed and without even consulting us, he started to put them in the ToGo box. I noticed and I mentioned I didn't ask for a ToGo, I wanted 'For here'. At around 7:45 he's saying he's getting ready to close the restaurant and he said he can't allow us to do Dine in. I asked him "isn't 8PM the closing time?" to which he repeated the same thing that he needs to close. He didn't even care to mention that while taking the order. I was super hungry and equally pissed off at this kind of service and response. I don't even understand why did I even tip him. A Big Noooooo to this place especially for its service. If you got something to do other than running a restaurant, do that and politely let us know when we entered or while taking the order at first place. read more

Wow so glad I finally stopped in at & Cheese. The ATL sandwich was my favorite thing I have eaten in a long time. How they managed to get cornbread, greens, Mac and cheese and more into that sandwich without overloading the bread is beyond me. Unlike many grilled cheese/tomato soup combos I've had, the soup actually lifted the sandwich instead of making it heavier. It was light and refreshing - a tomato lovers tomato soup.

Get your 5 star, fancy grilled cheese sandwich here! Such a beloved sandwich, prepared a variety of ways, and served up with a side of homemade tomato soup. It was fabulous! You'll find a creative mix of ingredients on their grill cheese sandwiches which are named after areas/neighborhoods in Atlanta. I enjoyed the "College Park" which is considered their "classic." It was generously layered with aged white cheddar, Swiss cheese, mozzarella and Muenster, and then toasted to gooey, melty deliciousness on sour dough bread! Their homemade tomato soup is the perfect accompaniment! Oh my, so good! I look forward to returning when shopping at Lenox Mall! read more

Gotta love Instagram. I had no idea this place existed until I saw an IG post in it. Then again, I try my hardest to avoid shopping at Lenox Square. It's a rainy day and I have plenty of time to roam around the city. Came here a little after 10am for an early lunch. I was the only customer inside the store. Got the Buckhead grilled cheese because it has no meat and a few veggies in it. All sandwiches come with a small cup of tomato soup. Paying nearly 20 bucks for some grilled cheese is a little off-putting(after taxes/tip), but it was pretty good and tasty. Great customer service too. read more
