TLC is super cute! ChatGPT came all the way through when I asked for recommendations in the Conyers…read morearea. I don't live far, but I've had a hard time finding spots to post up for a bit outside of Privi at Stonecrest. From my first visit, I felt so welcomed. The staff was friendly and the menu had plenty of options. I've been a couple of times now, and I have to admit--I haven't quite nailed my coffee order yet. That's completely on me though. The first time, I tried "Falling in Love with Biscoff." It looked amazing, and so did the pastries, so I added a slice of banana bread. That was the mistake--because it was so good that everything after just couldn't compete. The drink was way too sweet for me, especially after that banana bread. On my next visit, I decided to keep it simple with a matcha, but someone suggested adding blueberry syrup. Knowing I don't usually do flavors in my matcha, I went for it anyway. Again... on me! Even with my off-ordering luck, I love the vibe here. Tammy was in when I arrived, and she is such a light--it was a pleasure meeting her. I'll definitely be back. TLC is the perfect go-to when I don't feel like driving too far into the city.

First time here was during the anniversary and it was such a vibe! Everyone here is so kind and…read morehelpful. I had the banana bread and it was soooo goood. I gotta stop by again to try more! 10/10 experience

I stopped by Lily & Sparrow while driving through Covington for a quick coffee and something to…read moreeat. At first, I wasn't even sure they were open. The windows are tinted and the open sign wasn't on, but as I got closer, I could see people inside, so I went for it. You order at the counter, and they call your name when it's ready. They also have some merch for sale, which adds to the vibe. I ordered a vanilla latte with oat milk and the egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a croissant. Both hit the spot. Simple, fresh, and exactly what I wanted. The place itself is really cute, and the bathrooms are unisex and very clean (which I always notice). Staff was friendly and everything felt easy. It's also only about a 3-5-minute walk to the main square, but just far enough away that it feels a little calmer and not packed with tourists like some of the other coffee spots. Definitely a great place to stop if you want something a little more low-key.

I was very happy to find this coffee shop just one block from Covington Square. It was open in the…read moremorning after Thanksgiving Brighton early. I got a latte and two Americano for my man who was waiting at home. The coffee was fantastic and piping hot. The people at the counter seemed genuinely happy to be there, not just like they were putting it on for Customer Service or they were pleasant people. They also had a really beautiful outdoor area behind the shop with hammocks. Unfortunately, it was too cold to utilize it that day, but nice to know it's there! They had posted the following day that they were having an artisan market with live music and I was planning to go but we had to abandon our AirBnB unexpectedly due to a sewage pipe emergency under the street in front of the house. I would absolutely return to this coffee shop!

I'm a big fan of French cuisine and will take any chance I get to enjoy it. This time I ordered the chicken salad sandwich with chips and shared a mushroom tartine. Everything was fresh and delicious. The place has a cool, laid back but slightly upscale vibe, with good service and a lively atmosphere. It's definitely the kind of spot where people like to dress up a bit and be seen while enjoying coffee, pastries, or a relaxed meal. They also have outdoor seating, which is perfect on a nice day. If you're there around lunch, the French onion soup is very good and worth ordering. They validate parking as well, which makes visiting even easier. .

It's a beautiful, airy space with plenty of seating, perfect for a relaxed weekday brunch. The quiche rotates seasonally with fresh, in-season ingredients, which I appreciated. However, my lavender latte wasn't great, and it was my first coffee of the day. While I liked that the syrup was house-made, it didn't quite justify the price, especially when I can't count on a solid caffeine fix because it had such a bitter and sour taste to it. The latte art was worth the photo but not the price. Overall, I'd give it a 3 out of 5 just for the delicious quiche. Also loved their market area for fresh homemade picnic-style items & bevs. It's a lovely spot for journaling or catching up with a friend, but not somewhere I'd splurge on regularly.

The restaurant is in the same plaza as Bo Bo Garden, next to ICE NY. There are plenty of parking…read morespots in the plaza. I booked a tea party lunch session on the weekend with my friend, and we both had a wonderful experience. They also accommodate a vegan menu for tea party bookings. Our names were printed on the menu, which was a very nice touch. There is a large collection of teas to choose from, along with a detailed menu. They let you smell the teas from a tea tray, which helps a lot when choosing the one you like. The staff explained each tea and recommended flavors based on our personal tastes. They also introduced and explained the sweet and savory items on the menu. We had panda tea and hibiscus tea. The sweet and savory tea party lunch set was delicious and represented Indonesian desserts well. We enjoyed the savory items more than the sweet ones, but we loved the great variety of desserts. We especially loved the presentation. Everything came together to create a lovely experience and a wonderful girls' hangout time. The place is quaint and cute. The staff is super friendly and attentive. Her posture while pouring tea was very elegant. It happened that the weekend we chose was right before Valentine's weekend, so the restaurant was not too crowded, which was a plus for us. However, their lunch party sessions are normally fully booked and busy, especially on weekends. You should definitely call and book ahead if you want to experience this lunch tea party. 12/10 highly recommend this experience, especially for girls' dates. I will come back to try other à la carte items from the menu.

Gula ('sugar' in Indonesian) is a wonderful addition to Buford Highway's rich Asian sweet treat…read morescene. I've never had Indonesian desserts before, so was very excited about this. We tried the: - Es Cendol (coconut milk, palm sugar, pandan rice flour jelly): The more I drank this, the more it grew on me- a little reminiscent of brown sugar boba. We added jackfruit, but I don't think that's needed. - Bubur Campur (black sticky rice, pandan custard, sweet potato & taro ball, tapioca jelly, side coconut milk): I liked all the toppings, but the texture of the rice wasn't really my vibe. Glad I tried this, but probably wouldn't get again. - Kaya Toast: This was my surprise favorite, loved the kaya ('coconut') jam, which was on the sweeter side with notes of caramel. The bread was perfectly toasted, and the slabs of butter were complementary. Persimmon is also my favorite fruit, so points given for that haha. I may or may not have gone to my local Asian grocery store to purchase kaya jam the next day. Service was friendly and fast. The only thing I'll mention is that some of the larger tables had tea sets but nothing indicating that sitting there wasn't allowed (later we learned they have afternoon high tea most days). The shop is relatively small and was packed when we went on a Saturday night so not having 3 large tables available was a bit inconvenient. I'd maybe suggest setting up before/after hours, rather than when other paying customers could be using the space. Regardless, this was a unique experience, 8.5/10 would recommend!
