    Thank you, store!

    The second Cafe Blue in the Gwinnett area (with the first one being in Duluth), this is a cute and quaint coffee store located in a quiet strip mall by the Mall of Georgia. The store has a small amount of tables (5 or so) to quietly work on or meet up with someone and very kind, efficient staff. Food and drinks are prepared quickly. Their calling card is hand sorted Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee which purports to be grown in the highlands of Jamaica (3000-5000 feet elevation) for unique flavour. The bean and coffee itself has a nice taste to it though their signature drinks (blue latte) while nice kind of drown out the taste. The regular espresso drinks are above average in overall construction. Prices are a little high but overall a great coffee experience if you are in the area!

    I came here to work remotely and it was a great place for it. The coffee was great, the service was good and very efficient. They made my drink to oder and they shop is very cozy and quaint. They use Jamaican Blue Coffee and it is very delicious and not very sour. if you are in that part of town, you should support your local coffee shop.

    I've been to the Duluth location plenty of times but this is my first time visiting the Buford location! It is located in a private lot with plenty of parking. It's a pretty small cafe with about 5 or 6 tables. The staff was very kind and the cafe was well lit and decorated. I ordered the strawberry matcha and also a matcha latte. I really enjoy the matcha they use, it was smooth and not too sweet. The strawberry matcha wasn't my favorite. The matcha part was good but the strawberry foam had a really artificial taste. It wasn't bad, but it was just not for me. Other than that, I love Cafe Blue and I will continue to visit both locations!

    This cafe has the best problem aka I wanted to try a bunch of drinks! Even though I don't live close I'm willing to drive back to try them. Also has free parking and plenty of inside seating. Plus, the barista was super nice and offered her drink recommendations!

    I stopped in after getting my daughter's haircut, just figured I had never been here before. I ordered a caramel latte and a cherry danish at 4:42. It is now 5:12 and I'm just getting in my car. Apparently they lost my ticket, which is true I'm sure, but I'm 6'4" and stick out like a sore thumb while I waited standing up the whole time. When she finally realized their mistake, it had already been 15-20 minutes lol. They should probably update their ordering system and hire more baristas to help the ladies more. The ladies behind the bar were kind, and I don't really put this issue completely on them, more on the ownership and management. The latte was good, expensive being that it's Blue Mountain coffee supposedly, but good. Overall I won't be back soon.

    Was looking for a warm coffee before my interview and saw this cafe a couple days ago! I made sure to stop by and was pleasantly surprised by how conveniently close everything is! Upon walking in a chime goes off for the baristas to know you are entering and they were ready and patient for me to check the menu on what I wanted. They had some delicious looking pastries like macarons, Madeline's, cakes, danishes and much more! I picked out a rose latte and a cherry danish and they were so quick to have it ready! The coffee they use is Jamaica Blue Mountain. It tasted like a. Ice mixture with the rose syrup they had handy. Overall, the service was great, the selection was simple and not too complex and the vibe was super chill! I will for sure be back and ready to try the Blue Latte!

    Quaint & cozy cafe in the midst of bustling busy Mall of Georgia area. It is located across from TJ Maxx shopping strip. I like that the place has unique menu offering that other coffee shops do not offer. This time we tried Einspanner (my first time trying this drink) and Vietnamese Shakerato. Not too sure if I like Einspanner...it tastes too "watery" for me and not very "latte" or milk like...but it is not the cafe's fault though. I just do not prefer coffee drink that is not creamy. The Vietnamese Shakerato is good though. A tad too sweet but it hits the right spots. I am going to visit again to try other unique drinks.

    Comfortable, welcoming environment and friendly, efficient customer service. More notably, is the delicious offerings including the Blue Latte and the pistachio cream cold brew. Check them out!

    Cold brew set up.

    Stopped in here for a cup of coffee and was thrilled by the knowledgeable and friendly baristas. I'm a professed coffee snob so I don't stop at just any coffee place. The coffee is nothing short of amazing!! I will try the cold brew next time. Their cold brew method is just like one I saw in Okinawa Japan. Only been to Cafe Blue once but this place could very well be my #1 go to coffee place.

    One of my favorite coffee shops in Buford! The coffee is good and consistent. The service is always good when I come and has a nice homey feel when I walk in. A great place to get work done at weekday Weekends are usually packed here. Try the lavender London fog! It's delicious!

    Cafe Blue is a beautiful coffee and tea cafe tucked away in Buford across from Target/ Hobby Lobby next to Wicked Sushi. Upon entering we were immediately greeted with a hello and our order taken repeated and made in minutes. I had the iced Blue Latte and my husband the iced caramel macchiato. We both loved our drinks! We had the pastries too of Almond Croissant, cherry danish and cinnamon cheese cake coffee cake! Everything was so good. The vibe is chill with ton of spots around the cafe for Instagram! We will be back again very very soon... I will be dreaming of that Blue Latte

    Cafe SeeSaw is one of the many Korean cafes in Duluth. They sell drinks such as coffee and…read morenon-coffee and baked goods, both savory and sweet. There is ample space inside to chill or study. The cashier was really friendly and the food came out quick. I probably should have gotten a drink, but I got the Everything Bagel with Basil Tomato. I wanted a savory snack, but I got a somewhat sweet meal. The basil tomato cream tasted like there was sugar in it so that threw me off plus the everything bagel did not really taste like an everything bagel. I just have to remember that Korean cafes tend to be on the sweeter side. If that is your vibe, then you should come here! Minimalistic and cute space and vibes.

    --Location/Parking-- Located in a shopping center with…read moreplenty of parking. They are next to the Ramyun Gallery and near an H-Mart shopping center. --Ambience-- White, minimal, relaxing space for a coffee shop. The rear of the shop has a projection showing an anime/tv show when I was there. Wood and white, minimal decor. Great place to work and hang out. --Service/Staff-- Early Saturday morning was managed by two women who were very attentive and quick with the drinks. I didn't even get a chance to explore the menu, so I went with my go-to drink. I thought about changing or trying another drink/latte, but she quickly rang me up. Not a bad thing, especially on a busy day. No complaints on the service. --Products/Service-- Cortado, what can I say. You can't go wrong, and it was good, nothing special. I kinda wished I tried some of their other unique drinks/latte. --Capacity-- Plenty of open spaces and tables. I would say the cafe can hold 20 people in capacity. I saw a lot of people taking their orders to-go. --Overall-- I will definitely be back to try some of their other drinks. I like the vibe in the cafe. My personal take, I wish there was more greenery in the cafe, but I kinda dig the cinder block holding up the fridge and table at the side. Beautiful cafe.

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!

My Korean coffee would be rated at 0/10, overly sweet. I had high expectations because I love Vietnamese coffee and thought it would be strong like theirs too. But overly a good experience

Well, hate to be frank, but our Souffle Pancake was just very disappointing. While the pancake was nice and fluffy, the toppings and presentation wasn't even close to being as good as they used to be. I felt this was new management, with a whole, new style of doing desserts maybe? In any case, we did think the pancake tasted good...but it was just lacking in the creamy topping, as only the top layer had this creamy base. The lower 2 pancakes had no cream on it...and tasted quite bland. Even the strawberry sauce was minimal...so minimal, I went up to ask for more. Also, the decorative toppings, including the strawberry, were just BLAHHH. If you come here expecting the Strawberry Souffle Pancake of the past, you'll be disappointed. So nope...just not pretty enough for Instagramming. Made me wonder if the rest of the desserts have gone down as well?? For drinks, my husband had Cappuccino, and I had this Oohlong Tea. Not pictured, but the presentation was just passable...and the taste was just OK. If I recall, their drinks used to be presented beautifully as well as their desserts...but from the look of things, that may no longer be true. Guess I may give this place at least another try. Who knows? Maybe it was just an off night?? Hopefully I can upgrade the review on my next v visit...should the dessert and the drink look and taste better. Fingers crossed??
