    white chocolate mocha and nitro cold brew

    I was lucky to snag a Cafe Rothem bakery surprise bag for the first time, and the price was actually a bit lower than most other bakery bags. It was also my first time stepping into the café--turns out it's the kind of place where you can read books and listen to music, with a cozy, intellectual atmosphere. As for the bag itself, I really liked everything inside: a garlic cream bread (I personally love that savory, crispy flavor), a potato bread, and finally a jam-filled bun. Overall, it was a fantastic surprise bag and such a pleasant experience.

    Sometimes you come to a place to make a connection to the past, to enjoy nostalgia vibes even it's from a different culture, Rothem is such a place. I placed a mystery bag order online, the owner kindly warmed up a croissant and a blooming garlic bread, made them fresh and crispy. I hope they put some old Chinese books along with Korean books.

    Blooming Garlic Bread

    idc what anyone says, the garlic bread here is THE BEST. The lady boss is always super nice and quiet ambiance is on pointttt Great place if you like not-too-sugary sweets and music!

    The atmosphere was amazing and it was very calm. Price was very reasonable. The whole staff was nice and we really felt unrushed. smoothie was amazing!!!!

    Very chill jazz/classical cafe with lots of seats and tables and great drinks. I had the boba affogato which had an amazing presentation. The coffee was bitter but complimented by the sweet ice cream. The boba wasn't hard and tasted house made on the spot. The blooming garlic bites were so cheesy and delicious that I didn't notice they were gone from the plate. It had cream cheese, cheese, and plenty of garlic.

    The most amazing atmosphere and service. The owners carry themselves and the place with such CARE and love. Been coming here for years. Such an amazing business & the coolest record collection! P.s. ask him for recommendations... he's always right. But that CHICKEN SALAD MAN!!! Man oh man ‍

    Immaculate vibes with the interior design and choice of music. Got the Mitsugaru and Sweet Potato latte with the Watteok, was all great! Definitely recommend for those looking for a chill spot to commune, read, study, and even enjoy live music while sipping on some good drinks!

    Phenomenal service and ambiance. The mugwort latte tasted great & was decently priced. The jazz music played in the background combined with the antique aesthetic of the place created an amazing vibe -- one especially conducive for studying and getting stuff done. If I didn't live so far I would come here at least once a week!

    we wanted tofu onigiri and they didn't have any at the time so she made some just for us!! It was really good and flavorful I love the how spacious it is and it's a great place to study

    First of all I would be remiss by not thanking Deonne D, my collaborator and aesthetician who gave me a phenomenal chocolate facial (story for another day!) for suggesting one of her favorite spots for our meeting yesterday. Cafe Rothem is not a neighborhood gem as I often say for some of my faves, it is a diamond!!! Nestled in a shopping plaza in Duluth, the outside does not do justice for the interior. I will say that I love the ample parking available, but from the moment I entered and was greeted right away to taking in all the aesthetics including a wall of albums with books on top row, artwork throughout, meeting room space, a grand piano, and ample seating space around large tables had me blown away. The coffee and tea selections gave me enough options to want to come back and try more. There were also pastries I had never heard of before and sandwiches available to accompany. I selected the caramel macchiato and pumpkin bread, as many that follow me know that I love all things pumpkin! My companion had the ginger tea and one of the many ramen noodle bowl flavors available. I was thoroughly pleased with the pumpkin bread which was heated perfectly and had cream cheese and pumpkin seeds. The coffee was delightful and not too sweet as requested. I did add a little honey to suit my sweetness preference. The noodles were enough to share, but opted not to due to the high sodium content I read on the label. I do love to eat, but wellness is very important to me and I try to be as balanced as possible. My companion did enjoy her selections, and I loved the tray it was served on. As we discussed business topics, after a mini photo shoot, what seemed like a tour bus unloaded into the café. Majority of the individuals from the "tour" were of Asian decent a varying ages. We observed the interactions and same genuineness from owners I felt when I arrived. My companion actually had a frequent shopper card that was punched with the purchases, and shared how much she enjoyed coming to this establishment. Will let the pictures speak for what I have not mentioned. And I will definitely be returning to try the syphone coffee and more pumpkin bread!

    Fairly sized cafe, housing Sunday church gatherings and rentable meeting rooms. I tried both the coffee and a pastry and I'd rate them as mediocre; which, to clarify, isn't a bad rating but also not an outstanding one either. Things you should know: I. PARKING Cafe Rothem is within the Howell Center Plaza and shares a public parking lot with the adjacent surrounding businesses. Parking is easy and free. It fills up mid-day ~ so you'll have to park a little further out and walk (which isn't too bad). II. SERVICE Very slow. I ordered a pre-made Pain au Chocolat and Americano and it took 20+ minutes for them to have it ready. The shop had various tables still available, so they weren't at capacity. I wouldn't expect quick service here, BUT they are very friendly. III. QUALITY The coffee was standard 그렇지만 the pastry was very dry. It wasn't that buttery and moist flakey texture you'd want a croissant to be ~ barely any chocolate filling. IV. CAPACITY Plenty of available seating for a weekend afternoon. Very family friendly.

    Wow! Cafe Rothem is a little slice of magic. I feel lucky to have stumbled upon it with my partner the other day and we decided to come in today and wow it is great! Perfect sandwiches, and expertly crafted coffee and espresso based drinks. I had a cortado that was just delicious and my husband had a mocha that was exactly what you want from a mocha! Not too sweet and excellent espresso flavor! The atmosphere and ambiance is like going back in time to a cherished book/music store with an instant feeling of warmth and welcome. And the service is wonderful. The gentleman behind the counter was so kind and helpful in picking out our drinks and such a warm person in general. Needless to say, I highly recommend you check this place out!

    A hidden gem in Johns Creek…read more Some of the best made-to-order Indian food you can get. I've been here a few times, and love the freshness of the food, the meticulously-crafted recipes, and attention to detail. At a time when a million and a half Indian "street food" restaurants keep cropping up at every street corner, Campus Cafe delivers authentic restaurant-level Indian dishes with high quality ingredients, freshness and great friendly service... all in a fast casual setting. Campus Cafe is tucked away in a small strip mall at the corner of 141 and State Bridge Rd in Johns Creek. It's a clean establishment with room to dine in, but I've always ordered my food to go. So far, I've tried the following: Vegetarian biriyani (5 stars) Chicken kadai (5 stars) Paneer tikka masala (4 stars) Goat curry (5 stars) Chicken biriyani (4 stars)

    Location is small, few seats. Nothing special with the location. Seems like the place is meant to…read morebe a grill sandwich shop, but they also serve Indian food. For this trip, I'm exploring Cheesesteaks in the area since I just moved in. Compared to Weeyums, Philly D, and uncle Phil's I would say this is nowhere near as good as those. It scratches an itch, but the bread is wrong. It was too small and barely held together. It was good, but if you're looking for a spectacular Philly, I wasn't getting it. Might be worth trying the Desi Cheese steak since it's different. Seems like that might be my next try. Just need better bread. Onion rings were also just prepackaged. Nothing to write home about. Service was fast and friendly. The owner at the counter always calls out to his guests saying thanks. I'll be back to try the Indian food next. I think that will be great.

    TAIWAN NUMBER ONE | I'm all about supporting Taiwanese owned small businesses and Bread Connection…read moreis no exception. I usually pop in pretty late in the evening before they close since the bakery is a little further from my home. Most of the goodies have dwindled down by the end of the night. The owner is a sweet Taiwanese lady who boasts their products don't contain any preservatives. Everything is freshly made - half the time, the bread baggies are seen open and cooling. My favorites are the buns - the custard, black sesame, hot dog and Chanel polo meat floss buns. Their sandos remind me of Family Mart sandwiches in Taiwan. And the bento boxes are massive - definitely recommend the fried pork chop bento box! The combo comes with a drink, as well. It's been a minute since my last visit so I'll definitely need to stop by on my next trip to Duluth/Johns Creek!

    As the name might suggest, the bread is good lol…read more All the pieces are huge. They're a bit pricier than sweet hut with buns averaging $3.75/4 ish Main focus is bread and even items with filling are not very full like the egg salad sandwich has 4 slices of bread to a thin layer of egg salad between each. I'm still on the hunt for an egg salad sandwich rivaling Lawson's or 7-11 but the one here has good bread! I tried an orange cream sandwich too and the cream left a film on my tongue so not my favorite but it's a nice, light dessert They have a ton of different options though so something for everyone. Next time, I'll have to come earlier to get a loaf of just plain white bread. They only had flavored breads $8/ loaf when I came and I got the sesame but I haven't tried it yet. It looks gorgeous though with a great swirl and fluffy texture The staff were friendly & quick. It has plenty of parking in the shared lot of the strip.

They took it straight out of the fridge, put warm meat on it and served it. Weirdest sandwich shop experience I've ever had. Normally warm meat means toasted bread. Not here!

I got a blt but added pickles and I honestly really liked it. It was simple but very tasty and the bacon was put in the toaster oven thing to get it hot and crispy after I ordered. The bread is also delicious and really nice and soft. All the sandwiches are made to order so they are somewhat customizable which is great. They also offer edible cookie dough here which is a really fun dessert option. I loved the blue sugar cookie that I tried but I do think that they should be refrigerated instead of sitting covered next to the cashier because it was a little stickier than I feel like it should be. Customer service was also pretty good. I definitely suggest checking it out if you're in the area and in the mood for a hoagie.
