Was in the area for brunch and heard that their bagels are really good - safe to say I can agree with them!!! I got their zataar bagel with the roasted garlic and chive schmear, and it was an amazing savory combo. There's only a handful of tables and a few bar seating, so I wouldn't say it's a studying cafe- more of like a grab and go or sip your coffee with bagel type place. Cashier was super friendly when I asked her recommendations. I tried their homemade lavender syrup in a latte. At first, I didn't think it was sweet at all and just tasted like coffee. But you definitely need to mix it with a straw. The lavender taste was lovely, sweet, and not synthetic at all. Next time, I want to try the orange creamsicle which is their seasonal syrup and comes with marshmallow foam. read more

Had an amazing cappuccino with a new twist on my fav GYRO Sandwich. It's called the "Anti-Gyro. What a joyful experience to savor a soft fallefel, not fried hard, but melt in your mouth; smooth and creamy delicious. There was a healthy amount of fresh green lettuce, with red onions , topped off with a not to spicy lite sauce. All of which was served in a Pita Bread This business is handicapped friendly and accessible. There is table in the front that accommodated my walker, but I believe would not work for a wheeler. I was also able to maneuver to the Rest Room with no problems. The establishment is meticulously maintained. No staff person is standing around, and all the stations are monitored. The staff is professional and communicates well. I actually had a good time window watching; also there are tables outside. Right next to Decatur Marta Station you can't miss it. Highly RECOMMEND! read more

I absolutely love B-side. I have never left disappointed by anything I've ordered. Friendly little coffee shop that serves up big flavors and fresh bagels, bread, and pastries. If you are looking for a quiet coffee shop atmosphere in downtown Decatur, this is the spot. read more

Solid breakfast and coffee spot near Atlanta, I do think their baked goods are the highlight, but the bagels are pretty good too. Personally, I found the sandwiches a little underwhelming, but the ambiance is very much of a cozy neighborhood spot. There's not a ton of seating and it fills up fast, there was a line for the majority of the time we were there, but the service was still reasonable. I definitely recommend planning on picking this up and taking it to go or eating outside. Food: 3.5/5 Coffee: 4/5 Service: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 3.5/5 Overall: 3.75/5 read more

Cute local bagel and sandwich spot. They do have wifi but the music isn't super conducive to working (it was hard rock). Service was great, the cashier really helped me with my choices since it was my first time. I had the Breakfast Club sandwich on a Za'atar bagel. The sandwich was very tasty. I'm glad I tried something new with the bagel, it was herby and went great with the sandwich. If the music was softer (and different) and it was a bit warmer inside (they had the fans going despite it being November), I would have hung out longer to read. Parking: paid street parking and paid lots nearby. read more

Chef Terry doesn't miss so it's kind of obvious that these would be the best bagels I've had in GA- came early on a Saturday & got a onion and jalapeño bagel with cream cheese and bacon.... 10/10 had a taste of the Boston cream pie donut & was blown away. Service was fast and friendly. The vibes are immaculate. I love the decor. It makes this little part of town feel like you're at a hip bagel shop in Brooklyn. I'd also like to mention that the prices were great.... Not sure if anyone else leaving a review has ever been out of the state or even town but I was shocked at how reasonably priced everything was! My only regret is not coming here sooner. Thank you for the amazing experience! read more

I like to try small pastry/bagel/tea/coffee shops. Decatur is such a chill spot and they have such quaint shops. Immediately the cardamom bun grabbed my attention. Scones, breads and fried pastries were in the case. The menu is not limited. I was only expecting coffee options. But they have teas, agua frescas and even alcoholic beverages. I had the tumeric ginger tea which was good to the last drop. Seating is limited inside. But don't let that stop you because there is seating outside in the courtyard. read more

Cute little artsy cafe near the train. The girls in there were kind and so happy, it was a feel good atmosphere. LOVEEEEED this breakfast sandwich. got an onion jalapeno & cheddar bagel with chicken sausage, medium fried egg and a b side hash brown with veggie cream cheese!!! OMGGGG! it was delicious, their chicken sausage was truly one of a kind, the bagel was crisp but soft and buttery. Everything flowed together wonderfully! I spent 17 dollars on this sandwich which is absolutely crazy but so worth it if you wanna build your own and experience new flavors. read more

Prefacing this with saying I got these from the farmers market. There was a long line so I was influenced to check it out. I got a cinnamon roll, lemon donut, the cinnamon pretzel, and a bagel. I was dissapointed. The cinnamon pretzel was very heavy and kind of lacking. The cinnamon roll had a very odd taste to it. The jelly donut was pretty good, I'm just not the biggest fan of lemon. The bagel was the best part, it was great, perfectly flavored. read more

Food was great and fresh. It's a small coffee shop so make sure you are ok with being next to people. Service was great not warm and fuzzy but not rude.

Located in the heart of Decatur square! Parking here was definitely a bit of a tricky situation and on the pricier side. There wasn't a super long line when we got there. We opted to build our own bagels. I got the sea salt bagel with egg, bacon and cheese. And we got another with the plain bagel. I also ordered a matcha latte. The matcha latte was definitely not the best. It was super clumpy! It was also not super sweet and tasted more like milk than matcha. The bagels were on the smaller side as well. The eggs were wayyyy too salty even on a plain bagel. The bacon was pretty good though, very thick and had a good charred flavor. Overall, I thought the food was okay, and parking was lacking. There also weren't too many tables to sit at and the ones outside were very dirty. read more

The Za'atar bagel was very good and it was my first time ever having this type of bagel before. Paired with a garlic and chive schmear, it tasted fantastic! The barista was very nice and they had a good menu. They make their bagels from scratch every day and it tasted very fresh. The coffee was pretty good, but they didn't have straws, which is the only negative to the whole experience. We parked just down the street as we did not see a lot for parking nearby. It is pay to park on the street though. There are only about five tables inside, so it's not really much of a sit down place. They had a few outside patio tables. Very cute spot! read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to B-Side Coffee! The food, service, and ambiance of the shop were all incredibly pleasing. One of my favorite things was the ability to customize your own bagel and of course, I took full advantage of that! We ordered an onion, jalapeño cheddar bagel with roasted garlic and chive schmear, and added their B-Side smoked salmon. It was more than enough for my boyfriend and I to share. We rated it a 7.5 only because we've had better elsewhere, but the flavor of the schmear was delicious and the portion was just right for the both of us. For drinks, I went with an iced matcha latte made with almond milk and their house-made vanilla syrup. My boyfriend ordered an iced coffee with almond milk and their house-made caramel and cinnamon syrup. We both agreed that our drinks were a solid 10/10. The house-made syrups were hands down our favorite part as the flavors really stood out to us. We would definitely add this coffee shop to our list of favorites! read more

Food was good and they had a lot of variety. It was on the pricier side but they have high quality ingredients. Inside was small but it seemed like people don't stay for that long so we were able to find a table. It was busy on Saturday morning -- the line was out of the door. Staff was nice and inside was decorated cool. It is loud inside -- there is a lot of chatter and music pretty loud, but the music they were playing was cool There is no parking lot, so you have to pay for street parking. read more

We decided to give this place a try and had high hopes since it seems to always have a steady flow of people coming and going. No free parking, you have to park on the street or in one of the nearby lots and pay. The inside is beautifully decorated, but very small and only a few seats. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and a croissant, and my husband ordered an iced vanilla chai. The lady taking our order was trying to do that and talk to a coworker at the same time. She repeated the order back to us wrong and had to start all over. After I paid, she said she'd go ahead and get my croissant and the drinks would be ready in a few min. Instead, she finished the conversation with a coworker, went to the back and the. took another order. When she was finished, I asked about the croissant. She apologized for forgetting and got it. The wait for our drinks was about 10 min. My husband had to go back to the counter and then they made them. The croissant was ok but drinks were bad. My vanilla latte was barely sweet at all, and my husband said his drink seemed watered down. read more

The everything bagel still isn't that everything-y, but the egg and cheese sandwich was still tasty. We tried two pastries - a scone and a brioche. They tasted good, but I wish they were warm. Maybe we were supposed to ask for them to be warmed? Not sure. You wait in line to order and they call your name when it's ready. Limited seating. Decent option for a quick breakfast in Decatur. read more

I'm usually a bagel purist and shun spots that showcase a more creative take rather than the classics. However, I can't deny that b-side is one of the city's best after a recent weekend morning visit. We stopped in for a quick bite and were so impressed by this spot's wide and slightly left-of-center menu that goes far beyond the basic bagel and schmear. While her egg on a kaiser roll was delicious, my zaatar bagel with olive and caper cream cheese was one of the best I've ever had, and made for a fun, Mediterranean twist. We finished our meal off with a monster cinnamon roll that was worth the trip alone. Besides our orders, the delicacies in the to-go fridge and their mouthwatering bakery case will have us definitely coming back for more. read more

Nice place to grab coffee in city of Decatur. It's located just outside the marta station entrance so very convenient. I had a large coffee and hazelnut pastry. That costs $13 which seems high but maybe that's just me, nowadays. The coffee didn't seem hot enough. People were nice. Pastry was good but I was surprised that it had chocolate in it. read more

3.9/5 First Visit: My first visit I got the strawberry matcha w/ almond milk and a cinnamon roll. They must've ran out of paper because I don't think my order was received. It took me 15-20 mins to receive my drink and it wasn't as packed when I originally ordered. The matcha was just okay, it lacked sweetness and a strong matcha taste for me personally. I had to add in some simple syrup from the coffee station they have in the back. The cinnamon roll was pretty good, especially after I warmed it in the microwave. But I would be okay if I didn't have it again. Second Visit: I only had the toasted hazelnut and brown sugar latte w/ almond milk. I asked for it to be extra sweet and they definitely delivered. It was so tasty! Would definitely get again, also this time I received my drink in 5-7 mins which was a lot better than the first time. read more

B-side is a one stop shop for remote workers. The cafe offers coffee, breakfast and, lunch which allows you to try multiple items if you're camped here working for a few hours. Just note that you'll need to do a little manually work ( get on knees) in order to plug on a device due to the plugs being the bench. Otherwise, I enjoyed my breakfast fast and Lavender Latte. read more

A cute little coffee shop in downtown Decatur. It's right as you come out of the marts station going toward the library. Staff was friendly and helpful. Waited patiently, and I didn't know what I wanted. I opted for a coffee special of the day with brown sugar (sorry can't remember the name of it) and a bagel, the person at the register recommended the strawberry cream cheese that's their specialty. It was a good call, very good and light. My coffee was good and flavorful, but next time, I will opt for a stronger choice. I came at the right time because as I was sitting, it got really crowded at the register. Most people were ordering and picking up to go. When I left, I noticed people outside on the patio area dining and a few with pets. I would definitely return. Great ambiance, coffee, and service is a winning combination every time. You can't go wrong. read more

Cute and lively coffee/brunch spot. Breakfast sandwich on a roll was tasty but the roll was a bit tough - not the freshest. Also tried a matcha.

Wonderful place for breakfast sandwiches! Staff very attentive to your needs! Wonderful selection of pastries so I opted for the huge cinnamon roll!

They could offer to cut it in half to heat but didn't! read more

If you get here after 10:30 AM on a Sunday, there will probably be a line out the door. Even at 9:30 AM, there was already a steady stream of people going in and out. The outside tables were already filled by then. The coffee was actually hot and stayed as such for quite awhile. Bside "lox": This was just okay. The bagel was over toasted and actually on the overcooked side. Looking at my picture, the seeds on the everything bagel def has a char so I'm not imagining it. There wasn't much about this that made it super unique. Sure the cream cheese was aplenty. The smoked salmon wasn't really distinguishable since it was squished between a badly burned bagel. I love lox. I mean love it. But this was just a 2 star experience. The b-cast of burden: Delicious! The beef tongue was really tender. The sauerkraut and horseradish sauce gave the sandwich nice flavors. The bread actually wasn't burned on this sandwich. It was also a sizable sandwich so that was a plus. Def the most unique item on the menu and a must try. Would I come here again?! That's a big maybe. Sure the staff were busy, but isn't it your job to cook, or rather toast bagels pretty much all day? And to butcher it pretty badly now come to think about it. No thank you. read more

Decent bagel a bit on small side but the charge for a small portion of "banana" cream cheese would make me pass on returning or at least ordering a bagels on a return. I paid $5.50 for cream cheese smear amounting to barely a spoonful which was twice as much as bagel itself and it was relatively plain tasting at that. Just know next visit to stick to other backed goods perhaps. read more

Lox bagel (4/10): maybe the worst lox bagel I've gotten in Atlanta? The fish was not the vibrant pink cured salmon you receive in your average lox bagel; it was dark in color, a bit fishy in smell. Nonetheless, I ate the bagel. There were none of the trademarks of a lox bagel that brought out the flavors: hardly any pickled radish, a few capers, a measly spread of cream cheese. Not worth for $10 dollars. The baristas were kind and helpful. Informed me that there was no free parking around and the closest lot was around the corner, which was $16/hour, a steep price to pay to sit in a small, seemingly indie coffee shop. It was a bit cramped but had a small-town vibe to it, making it a quaint place near a prestigious university like Emory. If I lived around the area, walking is most likely preferable if you don't want to pay $32+ for a bagel and coffee. read more

We stopped by for coffee and a pastry before the holidays. The queue was long so be prepared to wait but it was definitely worth the wait. You order at the counter and they call out your name. The inside is small and cozy. Probably not the best idea to show up with a large group especially if you'd like to drink and eat together. There are small tables outside too. Coffee was very good and didn't require any sugar because it's not bitter. read more

A huge fan of Deer & The Dove, I had to check out b-side eventually. After a failed attempt to get brunch at further into the city, we found b-side still open and I needed food and coffee stat. I ordered a cappuccino which kept me warm while waiting outside for our bagels. It was close to closing so all they had left were everything bagels... which are honestly my go-to bagels anyway! The bacon on the BEC was thick and delicious. I'm always down for smoked salmon on everything... and I saw the roasted garlic + chive schmear... I was sold. It was a little salty for me but still tasty. Next time, I've gotta stop in a little earlier to get the full b-side experience! read more

Cute spot to pop into for coffee and sandwiches. The staff was friendly and my caramel latte was yummy.

B-Side hands down has the BEST breakfast sandwiches and bagels I have had to date! The chicken sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel is a 100/10. The quality and freshness of their eggs and bagel were unparalleled. Absolutely will be back! Love this place! I highly recommend! read more

***LOCATION*** I didn't really notice much parking right out front. There may have been some on the street, otherwise there is a parking lot right next to them but it is 15$ for 2 hours. You can pay on the machine or by text. ***ATMOSPHERE*** Came here for co-working, it was super loud inside and crowded. The staff were nice and there were a decent amount of seats for a small place, all along the wall. So a good set up for working it was just super loud even on a weekday afternoon, so I maybe wouldn't recommend it for working. ***FOOD*** I got a breakfast sandwich with egg and cheese on a roll. I think it was their main sandwich but I can't remember the exact name. It was very good though! I also got an iced vanilla latte and it was good! It was a standard latte with oat milk. ***PRICE*** I paid 15$ total including tip, which isn't too bad for breakfast in Atlanta including a latter with a milk sub. ***CONCLUSION*** I'd definitely come back but probably not to work since it was so crowded and loud. But just to eat I definitely would recommend :)) read more

I love having the opportunity to enjoy a new coffee shop :) Add me to the long list of b-side fans, I'm so glad I made it here for the afternoon. When looking for a coffee shop with wifi (and pastries) for a coworking session with my fabulous sister-CM, I'm so happy that we stumbled upon b-side on Yelp. Located in Decatur Square, b-side is a part of the Deer and Dove family and a busy coffee shop and so much more. Working here was great on my end for most of the period but the wifi was kicking my butt lol. It's also a bit loud so come prepped with headphones. But it's a chill spot that I enjoyed and can't wait to work at again, without meetings lol. When I arrived, I grabbed a seat and took in the restaurant for a moment. Such a beautiful place, the wooden accents made me feel like I had stepped back into time for just a bit. I snapped out of my thoughts for a bit and joined the growing line so that I could claim my own caffeine gold and something delicious to pair it with. I had my eyes on this gorgeous danish that was just calling my name! I turned my head for a second and boom - the lady in front of me had it being bagged up. Omg. [if you ever seen that episode of Seinfeld with the marble rye...] I opted for a strawberry hand pie, a breakfast sandwich and a coffee as I mourned the danish. Let me say - that was one of the most delicious breakfast sandwiches I've enjoyed. The bread was fluffy, the eggs runny, the bacon not too crispy - I want it every day. I didn't truly dig into my strawberry hand pie until lunch time but wowww. It was soo good, like a luxurious pop tart x5. And the team that was on staff was so kind! I'll absolutely be back (and I'm getting that danish next time). read more

Still five stars! I'd been here a couple of times since my last review, but this time around I tried something a little different than my usual caramel or lavender latte. The last few times I stopped in, I noticed the cinnamon latte but I just wasn't in the mood for that flavor profile. Let me tell you something... I don't know if I'm just incredibly ready for fall or what, but I went for it this time and it was the best latte I've EVER had! I went once a little over a week ago and have been back for it on two more occasions since then. I also ordered their seasonal veggie quiche on one of my trips, which was made with tomato, onion and feta. The eggs were fluffy and light while the crust was flaky and the perfect consistency. I just wish it had more tomatoes, but the onion and feta flavor came through really well. Overall, the food and pastry options are divine. The staff is friendly and doesn't mind answering questions. It's not a huge space so the noise level really just depends on when you go. I've been there early in the mornings and it was moderate with people already seated and chatting, and I've been on rainy Sunday afternoons when it's pretty quiet and calm. Note: Just be careful with their coffee cups if you order a hot one. I've had a couple of instances where it has popped off and some of my coffee has spilled! read more

I want to like this place as it's nearby, but the service can be grim, indifferent and erratic. I aways get a sense that customers are viewed as an inconvenience. In our recent visit, my husband and I waited behind a few people until it was our turn. We started to give our order to the woman behind the counter but, without comment, she suddenly diverted her attention to the three people behind us. This delayed our order -- which was just a bagel, scone and regular coffee -- as the trio had a lot of questions about the menu offerings and each paid individually. (Same person taking orders at the counter also manned cash register.) When the counterperson finally resumed taking our order, she never offered any acknowledgement or rationale for her odd behavior. read more

Came to b-side post workout for a nice bagel. There was plentiful parking close by but definitely expect to pay a few bucks sadly. For a Saturday morning there was a little line, but moved very quickly. There was seating both inside and outside and we opted for the outdoors seating. We both ordered a lox bagel and split a macadamia white chip cookie. The cookie was by far one of my most favorite white chocolate macadamia nut cookies ever. The lox bagel to me felt small and didn't have enough lox in it to constitute it's $15 price point. The bagel itself was great and had a nice flavor and baked well. I would so come back for any of their bagels but settle for just cream cheese next time. read more
