    a sandwich on a plate
    Loan D.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    My half-eaten Pelua Arepa :-). Soooo good!

    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...

    Guayoyo is a hidden gem located off of lawrenceville Suwanee rd. I am in love with the empanadas!!! My favorite one is the chicken so I highly recommend chicken empanadas.

    Eng: This is such a cozy place! I stopped by with my father to get a quick bite and coffee and the atmosphere was welcoming and smells great! I loved my food and definitely will be back to try more dishes! Esp: Este es un lugar tan acogedor! Pasé con mi padre para tomar un bocado rápido y un café y el ambiente era acogedor y olía muy bien. Me encantó mi comida y definitivamente regresaré para probar más platos!

    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.

    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

    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.

    Chicken and cheese empanadas. Seriously delicious

    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.

    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.

And they are so so much better. Soon's Bakery is one of those bakeries - with fun and viral options like the sweet potato bread (mochi-like texture), sweet corn bread and cream donuts, that you wouldn't find at the classic Korean bakeries. I'm also a big fan of their cookies - with my personal favorite, the earl grey. I'm unsure if they still have their brunch menu, but I also really loved their soufflé pancakes. I'm also impressed with their coffee options - much better than the average Korean bakery. Recently tried the matcha cream latte which was pretty much perfect. Creamy iced latte topped with unsweetened matcha cream - perfect pick-me-up. Overall a pretty quiet spot to grab a sweet treat and a coffee in a newly renovated cafe. Definitely recommend if you're in Suwanee!

We had a small group and were able to find a table quickly,l. The dessert selection is AMAZING.. so many tempting options that it was honestly hard to choose. I went with the Oreo cake and it was absolutely delicious. I also ordered the strawberry matcha. I'm not usually a huge matcha fan, but I figured if I was going to give it another shot, this was the place and I'm glad I did. It was actually really good and perfectly balanced. This is definitely a place I'll be coming back to. It also feels like a great spot to sit, relax, and even get some work done. Already looking forward to my next visit to try more of their desserts.

Also got some basil, mango/pineapple pastry that i must had not read the whole item description and ended up hating it. It had some sorta basil, salty & oily mix fill in and i did not like that combination, yuk. The iced caramel macchiatos we ordered were BUSSINGGGGGGG. We had salted whip on top and omg, amazing mix!!!! 10/10 Really cute inside and good vibes. Gotta bring my mom, she'd definitely enjoy it too. A soil 7/10 on my first try.

    I forgot to take a photo of the full order. Shame on me, because it looked like a pastry runway…read moreshow. I've also had PB bookmarked for quite sometime...so I blame my eagerness for the failed group runway photos. Lol I placed my order at 5 AM for an 8:15/8:30 AM pickup, and they still managed to pack everything like they were preparing it for royalty. Let mama break it down for you! Berry Tart: This tart walked in looking like it pays rent. Gorgeous, glossy, and so pretty I almost apologized before cutting into it. Clients loved it. My kids loved it. Strawberry Soft Cream Cake Slice: My 2‑year‑old (CEO of Strawberry Obsessed Galore) approved immediately. Every layer had actual thick strawberry pieces, not those sad little bits that makes you wonder if there were even strawberries in here or just mushed up pieces... Sweet, creamy, NOT overly weak and a total show‑off. We devoured it. Fruit Pastry & Raspberry Fruit Bite: Flaky pastry + custard + fruit = the holy trinity. These two didn't miss. They understood the assignment and executed flawlessly. Curry & Crab Croquette: I'm team CRAB croquette. It was loaded, crispy, and basically winked at me. My colleague, however, acted like the curry croquette was a spiritual experience. Pretty sure his eyes rolled to the back of his head..HAH. Both are winners! Pepperoni Pizzetta: My 4‑year‑old took one bite and immediately rejected Papa John's. That's the entire review. Case closed. Iced Sweet Green Tea: This one... was not it. It tasted like coffee that borrowed someone else's filter. We'll just leave it at that. Now, let's talk service: They open at 7 AM, and somehow had my entire order made, warmed, packed, organized, and ready in just over an hour..while other customers were inside, AND they helped me load everything into my car. My short notice didn't even make them blink.

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!
