The restaurant is good but they have lower the standards, the steps were bigger and the quality much better. The price increase does not reflect the quality of the food. read more

The staff is very kind, patient and helpful. She answered any question I had and it made just the overall experience great. Though slightly pricey completely worth it. I Ordered the Pelua Arepa Which is an Arepa with Shredded beef, Gouda cheese it's offered extra fried or baked and I went with fried . I also ordered a frozen Mango Juice The shredded beef for the Arepa was so flavorful and tasty. The right amount of cheese and a warm and fresh tasting Arepa . I wish they offered the seasoned sauce that they the beef is made in to go or I should have asked ask if they can add more of the sauce to soak the meet just a little bit more because the beef was a bit dry to my liking at the start but still very very yummy & flavorful . Next time I will prob order a green sauce or something . The mango juice was perfect is not too sweet and very good . Can't wait to return for breakfast or lunch & dine in the atmosphere is very clean and relaxing . Large with plenty of parking . read more

Guayoyo Coffee & Bakery - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

I'm originally from Miami and I've been married to my husband, who's Venezuelan,for almost 30 years so I know what good Venezuelan food should taste like. If you're looking for authentic Venezuelan food Guayoyo definitely has it! You can't go wrong with any of their items But I love the classics: tequenos, cachapa tradicional, cachito, empanadas de queso or pabellón and the desayuno criollo. The owner and staff are very friendly and really go out of their way to make their customers happy read more

I was recommended this place and it did not disappoint! I ordered the Llanera Arepa - it was filled with perfectly seasoned beef chunks, with a slice of cheese and pico, all of that in a piping hot piece of bread. It was delish!!! I also ordered an empanada and thought it was ok. But the star was the Arepa for sure. The service was friendly and we got our food within 20 min. It's a nice casual place, they also have desserts and coffee that i am interested in trying next time. I highly recommend trying out this hidden gem! read more

Guayoyo Coffee & Bakery - a sandwich on a plate - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

Excellent espresso. The Venezuelan diced ham and cheese stuffed in a roll is delicious, you can really tell the bread is fresh early in the morning. The feel is a bit trendy, although I think they keep the club music reasonably low in the morning -- not sure what it's like later in the day. Two diner-like tables and several smaller tables, not sure if that accommodates everyone at the lunch rush, but it's comfortable here! They offer wifi so I got a bit of work done while having a coffee, it was excellent and I'll think about making this a regular stop for me. read more

This is a cute little Venezuelan bakery in Suwannee! It's cute and you can definitely have some Instagram moments with your food here! I tried their frozen Guayoyo coffee, but it tasted just like a mocha shake. The cheese empanadas were pretty good, just very salty. I was full from just eating one empanada! The empanadas come with some type of minty mayo dipping which brings the flavors out even more! There just aren't a lot of options for vegetarians or vegans. The prices are pretty decent for the portions. The food is cooked fresh and very flavorful. It does have indoor seating open! read more

Sister dateEverything here was an amazing experience. From the service to the food. The cashier was very friendly. The food....ummm...WOW!!! Ah-Mazzzzing!! The amount of food you get it huge! Looking back, I should have shared with my sister. But I brought home leftovers to my husband and he really liked the sandwich. I ordered the Suwannee sandwich. I highly recommend it! I would make the drive to come back out here again! read more

I stopped by this restaurant on a whim this afternoon. I was not particularly peckish but the name looked intriguing. I did not know what a "guayoyo" was but soon learned it is a coffee filtration technique using a cone-shaped cloth and commonly used in Venezuela. I have tried about a dozen arepa restaurants through the years - not an "expert" but enough to say that Guayoyo's arepas are THE BEST. The Pelua Arepa (shredded beef with gouda cheese) was my choice this afternoon. Bread is crispy and not heavy - great texture! Shredded beef is wonderfully tasty and nicely balanced - not too wet and texture was amazing. Guayoyo coffee and tres leches cake topped it all off. Nice brew with a not-too-rich yet sinful cake. I would order this combination again and again and again... read more

Went here to work the other day and didn't want to say anything because I wanted to keep the peace and quiet. However, I believe in recognizing good food and experiences so here ya go. It's Latin and the empanadas were what drew me in initially. I wish I had tried the shredded beef one because the ham and shredded chicken was mainly ham, very little chicken and the cheese didn't melt inside. It was a disappointing, but I will try another one because it was still a nice sized empanada. I couldn't tell for sure, but it seems like they might buy them from someone else rather than make them on the premises because a woman came in with a large pan of something. In any case, the tres Leche cake was soaked goodness. I saved it for later and it was a perfect treat after a horrendous call. I also have been enjoying the light and fluffy coconut smothered vanilla cookie with caramel inside days later. Very unique and flavorful. The inside is inviting and very cute. My only suggestion would be to mix up the music a little because I heard the same music 3 x. Granted I was there over 5 hours, but still. It was very quiet, very few customers and you were able to sit, chat, and enjoy the space very nicely. read more

Recientemente fui a Guayoyos y estoy sorprendida. Yo amaba este acogedor restaurante pero creo que an bajado de calidad. Las empanadas son pequeñas y caras. No creo que la calidad y el precio de la comida sea razonables. read more

Amazing Venezuela bakery shop. We elected for the beef empanada, ham and cheese empanada and the ham, cheese and plantain pastry plus 2 mocha lattes. Everything was made fresh and was delicious. Next time, we will need to try their cake and puddings. The inside area was also super cute . The only complaint is location if you are going away from 85 as there's no easy way to turn left. If you're on your way to Lawrenceville or 85, this place is very convenient as it will allow you to turn right and directly to highway read more

The empanadas here are amazing. The wait for takeout was a bit long. 25ish minutes. However the empanadas were so full of flavor and fresh that I think I'll be back to try different ones. I ordered beef but they accidentally gave me chicken, which was not bad. I'd come back for the beef though. The place was cutely decorated for the Christmas holidays. read more

Having had a disappointing meal at a restaurant next door, I was scouring for something that would leave a better taste in my mouth. I stumbled upon this place thinking I would get a coffee or pastry, but I was blown away at how vast their menu was. I was so surprised to see Latinx offerings like arepas and empanadas. Seeing the indecision on my face, a woman behind the counter asked me what I wanted and helped me narrow my order down to chicken and cheese empanadas. As you can see from the picture below, these empanadas were glowing. Freshly made and accompanied with a creamy mayonnaise dip, these empanadas packed a delicious crisp bite with their fillings bursting with flavor. The cheese was imported from Venezuela, I was told. The incredible kindness of the people there at Guayoyo is also another reason to visit again. read more

Guayoyo Coffee & Bakery - Chicken and cheese empanadas. Seriously delicious - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

A business associate bought me an empanada for lunch and it was very tasty. Little did I know the restaurant was very close to my home so the next day I went down and order another Pabellon Empanada, yes it was that good, it contains black bean, plantains, cheese, with shredded beef baked in pastry. They also provide a green mint mayo based sauce that enhances the flavors. They can get a little busy so call ahead for to-go orders if you don't want to wait. read more

Ordered 1 Arepa, 1 Sandwich, Tequeños, Two drinks. Spent $40 I was very excited to find a Latin Restaurant in the area advertising authentic food with 4.5 star reviews. How disappointed I was? The food was mediocre at best (this does not include the Tequeños but who can mess up a cheese stick?) The order taker/cashier wasn't very friendly. She also immediately began speaking to me in Spanish, however I am Chinese. The Rice Chicha, which was suggested to me by the cashier, I asked the cashier if it has cinnamon and she advised that it could be left out, it tasted like a cinnamon overloaded horchata pudding. I don't like cinnamon so I went to the register and purchased a $2 can of coke. I tried to pay with a $5 bill but they didn't have change and requested I pay with a card. My sandwich came with fries, they are not like the ones pictured on their website (the ones that are battered and then fried) so I asked for ketchup and was given two packets of ketchup. The sandwich was okay but that was my bad for not reading the description property. I really enjoy the sauce that comes with the tequeños so I requested more and was told there is a 50¢ charge for sauce. This time they had change... ... My whole impression was that they were more interested in making money then making sure their customers have a worthwhile experience at their establishment. read more

Great portions great service and great prices! My boss introduced me to this place and now I'm always craving it! Seriously authentic!!

Amazing Venezuelan food! Is literally the taste of Venezuela! Amazing service and pretty good prices and desserts. The vibe was amazing 10/10 read more

This place is incredible! I was taken here by a Venezuelan who would not shut up about how authentic and tasty the food here is, and I have to admit he was right. Their pabellon empanadas are some of the best things I've ever eaten, and thats including the one I ate cold the next day for breakfast. read more

If you want to try new kinds of food, this is your spot. Venezuelan food here is top notch, if you wanna try the best "cheese sticks" around ask for the Tequeños (Te-ke-nhos). Or just grab an "arepa" (pocketed corn-flour "sandwich") with whatever fancies you. They have an assortment of freshly made daily desserts. They sell excellent "cafe con leche" (coffee with foamed milk) also, the best pick-me-up ever! You can thank me later. read more

Omg what a place!!!!! I have to stop myself from going everyday while on vacation. But isn't that what vacation is for? To not think about what you eat? Lol. At least that's what I trick myself into thinking so I can enjoy places like this one. It's a Venezuelan restaurant with amazing tequeños and empanadas. They also have tequeyoyo which is a cheese bread with ham and sweet plantain inside, yes!!! Amazing!!!!! Their natural juices are also great because they have the perfect balance from sweet and sour. It is located in a plaza with plenty of parking, and they do accommodate inside seating, however we ordered to go all three times because of Covid and food was fresh and hot. Definitely recommend it!!!! Go try it!!!! read more

Super nice folks here! Great food and very clean dining area. Will definitely go back. Arepas were beefy and cheesy!

After living here for four years, Guayoyo has become our family's favorite spot in Suwanee. I would highly recommend that anyone who lives here or is just passing through give it a try. These are our favorites, and we keep coming back for these regularly: Pabellón empanadas, stuffed with shredded beef, sweet plaintains, blacks beans and cheese. The flavor is incredible, and the portion is really generous for the price. Llanera arepas, stuffed with grilled steak, a slab of white cheese, and sort of a pico/guac mixture. I recommend ordering these fried rather than grilled, but they're great either way. We've also really enjoyed the Reina Pepiada arepa (avocado & shredded chicken), Pabellón bowl, Milhoja (layered puff pastry with cream), Tres Leches cake, and all of the various coffee drinks we've tried. One day I'm going to order the Guayoyo Burger, but it's hard to deviate from our favorites, the Pabellón empanadas and Llanera arepas. read more

The food is truly delicious. The beverages are wonderful, well made, great variety. The service is attentive and friendly. A family owned and operated business 2 years old. Certainly the freshness indicates every dish is made to order, from Quality ingrediants. Fantastic flavors abound in every dish we ordered. Prices are very fair. Give Guayoyo a try you will enjoy! read more

If you are looking for authentic Venezuelan cuisine, then look no further. I originally started going for the coffee during my lunch break - I normally bring my lunch but one day I didn't and decided to try one of the Arepa's. It was so delicious and filling! The staff is super nice and the dining room is very clean and spacious. read more

This place is a hidden treasure. The chicken and avocado in the arepa were delicious.

Finally I was able to visit this Venezuelan Bakery that I have heard many good reviews but because is too far from home I had not done the adventure to navigate until here. You need to order their coffees and desserts. Most of the things I bought were to take home because of the distance it is almost impossible to come back. I ordered a cinnamon bread called golfeados, cheese sticks called Tequeños, pastelitos that are like patties, ham bread called cachitos, chocolate dessert called Marquesa, another type of patties called Empanadas. I also ordered a bowl of shredded beef, black beans, rice, plantains and cheese, and a lasagna called pastichio. Of course coffee because I am a coffee lover and they have a great coffee machine. They have Arepas but I am not an Arepa lover. Excellent bakery if you want Venezuelan food or if you want coffee and a sandwich. read more

A very welcome addition to Suwanee!! For sure the best Venezuelan in the area. Had the Pabellón empanada which was probably my favorite. Big enough to be a meal on its own. Also had the beef arepa also very filling. The shredded beef in both of them was very well seasoned. The Reina Pepiada arepa is like a chicken salad with avocado. Tasty as well! Any of these can be eaten on their own with a side item and most would be satisfied. But getting some sweet plantains on the side with cheese is a good idea! It's obvious they know how to cook and pay attention to flavor. Coming back for the morning pastries and coffee as well. The space inside is clean and well decorated. The staff were very welcoming and great at answering any questions. Go get your taste of Venezuelan flavors!! read more
