I finished a workout and needed to refuel so I fired up my Yelp app and found Art's nearby. I actually walked by the store a few days earlier when visiting https://www.scadstory.com/ as it's just across the street. So the big interesting thing is that there's a full sized SCAD bus inside the store! The kitchen is inside the bus and you can go upstairs for seating (as well as what they have on the perimeter). There were just a few patrons in the store so I didn't have to wait to make my order. I ordered an açaí bowl with a scoop of protein powder. It took about 5 minutes or so for it to come out and it was picture perfect! Lots of strawberry and banana on top of the açaí. I'm not a huge fan of shredded coconut but when I mixed it all up, the flavors were great. It had the right amount of sweetness and since it was pretty warm outside, it really hit the spot. This is definitely a place to go! read more

Such a cute spot. I'd be here all the time if I was a student. I was craving an açaí bowl and this hit the spot. They were out of the dragon fruit one and the ham and cheese croissant. So, we got the soufflé instead and it was amazing. My pumpkin latte was solid. Regular psl syrup, nothing fancy. read more

Arts on Bull Street seriously impressed me. Primarily catering to the SCAD crowd, this spot offers fresh, high-quality meals at a price that doesn't break the bank. I was on a walk, craving a salad that wouldn't cost me $15+, and their Southwest Salad hit the mark. The ingredients were fresh, the flavors balanced, and the dressing tied everything together in a way that made the meal both satisfying and healthful. It left me wanting to try more from their menu. If you're in the area looking for a solid, reasonably priced lunch option, this place is well worth a visit. read more

Ordered a smoothie and it was truly awful. It tasted very sour, which I'm assuming had to do with the quality of the ingredients. Giving some grace because it is run by students. I should have just requested a refund, but I just threw my smoothie away after a couple of disappointing sips. read more

This place is so cute and unique! From the outside it looks like a normal shop with a few nice white bistro tables outside so you can enjoy the beautiful weather we have here in Savannah. It has two decorative pots by the entrance. When you walk in you see that the whole "kitchen" employee area is a bus. A huge double decker bus! Crazy. What a great idea. I love the chai tea. The employees are nice. There is a scad discount if you are a student or employee. read more

We got stuck in a major downpour, while out exploring the city and happen to be nearby Arts and jumped in side to take cover from the rain and wind. We ordered a coffee as well as a chai tea latte to ride out the storm. They do have offerings of other things, such as smoothie bowls and sandwiches. The cool thing about Arts is that it is directly connected with the Savannah school of art and design and many people working are actual students in the College. My husband really enjoyed his coffee and the chai latte was absolutely delicious. Definitely borders more of the vanilla side of the chai which I love. Has a cool vibe And a giant double Dekker bus inside which you could also go up to the top and sit in as well. Great location to hang out and just take a breather. read more

I was so excited to come here and try a smoothie! When I walked in, I absolutely love how it looked inside. The counter and prepping area is a bus! You have to see it to believe it! The employees working greeted me when I walked in and they were both kind as I ordered my smoothie. My smoothie was made quickly and I sat down to enjoy it! I really just love the vibe in here and I will definitely be coming back to try other things on the menu! read more

Because I love Acai bowls, I just had to try out Art's. I have to say it was THE best Acai bowl I've ever had, and I've had quite a few in both Savannah and St. Pete, FL. I'm only sorry I didn't take a pic of it before I dove in. It looked and tasted amazing! The SCAD students at the counter were so nice and personable and did an outstanding job making the bowl. If you're into Acai bowls, trust me, this is the place. I highly recommend. read more

I got the yogurt bowl with bananas, coconut and fruit, and it was amazing! Paired with a nice cup of coffee I got from another spot and I was in heaven. Would go back for sure! read more

The artsy vibe was nice, and I appreciated them making the Italian sandwich vegetarian. The coffee was just okay, though. I was disappointed to find out that only SCAD students and faculty get free Wi-Fi, with no exceptions for alumni like myself. The service could have been better; the person who brought my sandwich coughed into their hand after handing it to me, and staff didn't acknowledge me as I was leaving. Overall, it was an underwhelming experience considering the high prices. read more

Cute little coffee shop supporting SCAD right across from SCAD Story. My husband and I had a few minutes to waste before meeting up with our son so we stopped in for a coffee. Love the double decker bus inside, paying homage to SCAD. The coffee was subpar though. My husband had an Americano and I had the honey caramel latte with oat milk. Both of us agreed the flavor was pretty weak and watery. It's a cute place and great location but the coffee needs some help. read more

Not really what we expected. Our paninis were alright, nothing crazy. The thing that really boosted my review was how kind the cashier was. Very nice guy! Cool vibes inside and felt very clean. Probably wouldn't go back, but I'm sure the acai/smoothies are better. read more

Cozy cafe with cute car themed kitchen + upstairs dining and affiliated with the nearby SCAD college. The drinks were not too great, but the food was good enough. Good spot for a casual cafe setting to meet up with friends, grab a quick bite, or get some work done. However if you are a true coffee or tea snob, I'd think you are probably better served at a different Savannah establishment. Cold brew - 3/5. Found it disappointingly bitter, and a step below what you would find in other chain places like Starbucks Gryphon GOAT salad - 4.5/5. Actually really enjoyed this, the ingredients played well together and the goat cheese was a great add. Obviously not going to be any fine dining, but well put together in my opinion Açaí bowl - 4/5. Not much to say here, in my opinion there is not much to go amazing or poorly with a standard cafe acai bowl. Enjoyed it just as much as I always do, no more no less :D read more

Only stopped in for a latte while doing the Savannah Trolley tour. Super cute interior with a refurbished bus enclosing service area. Staff was nice and helpful. Honey Cinnamon Latte with almond milk was delicious. Didn't have time to grab food, maybe next time. Restroom was super clean and appreciated! Very chill and relaxed spot with open space concept. SCAD is everywhere throughout Savannah. I like that college has found creative ways to use historic buildings for their students and visitors. read more

So cute! So friendly! So good! What a lovely respite from a hot summer's day. I had the hibiscus lime iced tea that was advertised on the sign outside and wholeheartedly recommend it. Service was incredibly warm and welcoming. The space is delightful, and the double-decker bus inside will please kids and the young-at-heart, all of whom might enjoy sitting on the upper level. There is a nice assortment of SCAD trinkets and paraphernalia for sale, too, if you're so inclined. read more

Employees were not able to process the order or use the register-told me I didn't pay after she already charged me. I then pulled up my charge documented on my phone and still wanted me to pay again. Had to call other associates over to figure out for over 10 minutes while other customers waited. Only to verify she has already charged me. read more

The food was good, although they forgot the pears on the salad I ordered and they also forgot to butter and press the panini sandwiches that 2 people in our party ordered as well so attention to detail in the kitchen is suggested but otherwise the place is charming with a double decker bus in the building read more

A hollowed out, old timey, Bristol double decker bus serving as the order counter and additional dining space? Yes! Leave it to SCAD, Savannah College of Art and Design, to imagine and create such a novel, creative restaurant for their students, locals and tourist. Clean and sleek white walls, with huge windows, are a perfect backdrop for the antique, bright red double decker! Perfect restaurant name, too - Art's! I ordered the Roasted Portobello Panini with generous portobello, caramelized onion, tomato, spinach, and pimento goat cheese. Panini was warm, wonderful crispy baguette with melty pimento goat cheese, but quite runny from the heaping portion of portobello and bland. Paninis are served with a piece of fruit or bag of Miss Vicki's chips. Limited menu of Panninis (4) $9.5, salad bowls (3) $9.5, smoothie bowls (3) $6-$9.5. Beverages include fresh fruit smoothies, specialty drinks (5) and some classic coffee choices to include espresso and Cafe au Lait. read more

Very cute coffee shop with small but good food options. Social distancing and mask wearing is enforced. Biggest down fall is WiFi is only available to SCAD students so I couldn't stay here to work during the day as I had originally planned. I did try there chicken panini with peppers and onions and it was delicious. Sandwiches come with a bag of chips and the panini itself was pretty large. Definitely recommend. read more

The açaí bowl is okay, but not the best we've had. This is the first place I've seen serve granola with raisins, which we didn't like but just picked out and put to the side. The actual açaí base lacks in flavor. The place though is very cute and clean and a nice, spacious area to stop by and visit! read more

House brewed chai tea latte 16 ounce $4: We were doing our own self guided walking tour around Savannah, and stopped by to pick up a drink on the go. It was yummy, refreshing, and hit the spot on that hot afternoon. ***** My Star Ratings: 1 Star - Terrible. Just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars - Meh. Unlikely for me to return. 3 Stars - OK. Open to coming back, but wouldn't go out of my way to. 4 Stars - Yummy! Will definitely return if I haven't already. 5 Stars - AMAZING!!!

Got a chicken bowl. It was premade. The Acia bowl that was filling and made to order. Cool place.

If you in the vicinity of Forsythe Park, this is a must. It's run by student employees who are so nice and happy. Bright, clean space with a revolving film on SCAD. It's so easy to sit, relax and enjoy the space. We all had different variations of iced tea and coffee. It was just what we needed. Make a point to stop in, you'll leave happy! read more

We popped into Art's for a quick treat during a recent tour of Savannah. The shop was so cute with a full size double decker bus (kitchen downstairs, dining tables upstairs), a small selection of SCAD gifts, and a display of all kinds of work from SCAD students. We purchased two iced teas and a cowboy cookie. The teas were delicious - hibiscus lime - and refreshing after a long day walking around in the heat. The cowboy cookie (chocolate chips, Heath, and corn flakes were inside!) was very tasty, albeit HARD. I don't know if the cookies are that crunchy once they cool, or if the cookie was a few days old, but I'm not sure I'd order it again. If you're one who likes to dip your cookie into your coffee though, I would totally recommend this cookie for that purpose! Truly, Art's is a fun stop! Totally worth dropping by while touring around! read more

Coming from out of town.. We were looking for a cup of good espresso coffee. We checked online and found this little place and decided to walk to it.. It is only about 3 blocks from the Inn we were staying at. As we walked in, I immediately noticed a about 3 employees behind the window, one in particular caught my eye, a young lady picking on the outer right side of her nose. Imagine, if you will, picking a scab on your face, it's what it appeared. We walked up to the counter, my husband ordered two cappuccinos and a blueberry muffin from the lady at the register. Meanwhile, the other young lady made eye contact with me while STILL PICKING THE SIDE OF HER NOSE. She had red acrylic nails, going in.. Whatever she was picking at was giving resistance! The order taker proceeded to tell her to grab our muffin. THIS YOUNG LADY... Grabs the mask she had moved down to her chin to pick her face, pulls it up above her nose, opens the Muffin Container...AND WITHOUT A GLOVE OR WASHING HER HANDS... GOES TO GRAB OUR MUFFIN WIITTTHHH THE HAND SHE WAS PICKING THE SIDE OF HER NOSE WITH! My husband and I watched this, I swear in my mind it was in slow motion. We told the cashier to cancel our order and walked out. We ended up going right next door and enjoyed our coffee and tea sandwiches there. Absolutely incredible. We didn't say anything at the store because there were about 10 people there, and we didn't want to embarrass this young lady, at the end of the day, she is our children's age. But she should be a little bit more aware of her actions while working with food in the hospitality business. read more

Back in April and overly excited for our first visit to SCAD, we arrive way to early for our scheduled time so we popped over across the street to Art's. So glad we were eager beavers! Great decor - modern, clean and had a great vibe! Had a great cappuccino - loved the fact that they have simple syrup!- and my daughter ordered "something in a bowl". Right before we had to leave she asked if I wanted to taste it and oh my it was so good! Flash forward to today: we ventured back to Art's and she reminded me of that Bowl. After talking to the staff - "was it purple or pink" we reordered the Acai Bowl. Made with acai berries, granola, honey, yogurt, bananas... just fresh and good ingredients! It was refreshing and light but filling - just perfect! Looking forward to the next 4 years and will definitely make Art's one of my go to places! read more

Owned by SCAD and staffed by student employees, this place is pretty cute and handy when you want to grab a quick cuppa coffee or a snack. The make smoothies w lots of add-ins (Almond butter, granola, banana, etc.) Thats probably what they're best known for. By the checkout are a few packaged cookies and bars, bags of chips and nuts. And a case of cold beverages - teas, yerba mate, Powerade, etc. Ooh they even have Orangina! I ordered the special latte, a honey cinnamon latte. It was delicious. Seating is very limited here. A few booths downstairs and then on the bus's second floor there are cute seats and tables. Perfect for a study break? read more

Food of questionable freshness; undoubtably rotten service. We had a disastrous visit to Art's today. We selected two pre-made salads from the refrigerator, and noted that the date on the bottom indicated that they had been made three days previously. We asked the gentleman behind the counter (who appeared to be the manager/supervisor) if it was possible to get a fresh salad made. He was incredibly dismissive of our request and told us the salads in the case were the only ones available (and that they keep the salads in the case for up to four days before throwing them out). As we were in a rush and didn't have time to go anywhere else, we grabbed the three-day old salads despite our misgivings about their freshness. While I was waiting for the rest of our order to be made I noticed that he had put additional salads in the refrigerator case - they were fresher versions of the exact salads we had ordered. I did not appreciate being told that it was not possible to get a fresher salad when that turned out to be blatantly untrue. The salads themselves showed their vintage - the cheese was dried up and the vegetables were wilted. The only saving grace was rest of the staff was very friendly and professional. read more
