Lily & Sparrow - Chocolate muffins

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!

What a cute French cafe! We went there for breakfast after we landed in Atlanta. It was open early…read moreand easy to find. Plus the restaurant validates parking which is really nice! The space is very big and there is a more formal seating area and a casual cafe space depending on your mood that day :) Service was fast and the food was delicious. The quiche of the day was spectacular ( not eggy, just very flavorful). My husband got the shakshuka which was great as well! The portions are well balanced and not too large. The pastries looked amazing at the counter but we resisted them this time ( although I'm still regretting this decision) . This was a great start to our Atlanta weekend!

I was about 15 minutes late trying to figure out where to park, and even though they were busy, they were kind enough to still seat me. I had the pesto chicken sandwich and mimosas. The sandwich was good, but I've definitely had better. I couldn't quite put my finger on what was missing--maybe the temperature or just something in the ingredients--but I'd probably order something different next time. I did want a Bellini, but apparently that was a tall order lol. With all the pages of wine options, somehow a simple Bellini was out of reach! Overall, a solid 4/5. Nice atmosphere, good service, and I'd give it another try with a different dish.

The…read moreLazy Llama is a local small business that has two locations one in McDonough and one in Atlantic Station. I typically go to the one in McDonough, so my review will be mostly on that location. The setting is a cute cozy little café with some tables chairs, couches, ect. Walking in you get that amazing scent of fresh-brewed coffee and fresh-baked goods and smiling faces. The menu features a wide variety of flavored beverages like hot and iced coffee, lattes, teas, lemonades, smoothies, and frappes. They specialize in sweet and savory crepes but also offer bagel sandwiches that are made fresh on the spot. So, if you're looking for a cute cozy coffee house vibe with great drinks and a chill atmosphere, this is the place!

I think something might have burned but it was okay. When I went to order, I asked the baristas what to get and they gave me their recommendations. The baristas were really sweet and attentive. When my drink came, i I did not like it. I knew from the second I took it, it was not right because of the color. I tried it and did not taste any flavor. It was just not good but because of the experience I had, I did not mind.

In a spur of the moment NYE trip to the ever bustling Lake Oconee area, my partner in crime…read morerecommended this little spot tucked away in a business development. Expecting expensive food with small portions due to the crowd of wine moms and preppy high schoolers seated inside and out, I was greeted with the aromas of fresh coffee, a clean and well organized restaurant and a menu with numerous meals that sounded not only delicious, but affordable too! Still a little skeptical, I ordered the prime rib sandwich with homemade potato chips and my companion had the chicken avocado bacon club or something like that, paired with a nice Samoa coffee. The register worker was patient and nice despite us being there just before close (special NYE hours we thought they'd be open later our bad) and in what felt like mere seconds our sandwiches arrived! For under $10, I'm not sure you could find a fresher, faster, and more delicious meal this side of the Miss'ippi. I'll start with the sandwiches, and furthermore, the bread; not just crispy, but with that great sourdough chew as well! Really an incredible balance between crunchy and chewy. Just the right thickness, and absorbent for my prime rib's Anjou. The meat was well prepared, flavorful, fresh, and tender as could be, and that aforementioned Anjou even tasted like it wasn't made with a mix or packet (though if it was nbd). I can't emphasize enough how fresh it all tasted, truly a delightful meal. The old lady's chicken avocado bacon club (maybe) performed equally well or even better. The bacon was perfectly cooked in my humble opinion, and the chicken was far from dry or tasteless. Even the avocado, not typically a favorite of mine on a sandwich, I thought was a great addition for the bite or two that I stole. Moving on to the sides, which were maybe not as filling as a scoop of mac and cheese or a bowl of chili (which I think we could have ordered had we coughed up a couple more bucks), but were not forgettable either. The salad, like EVERYTHING else, was as fresh as possible, and the vinaigrette was sweet and tangy. My homemade (cool right?) potato chips had a lovely funk almost like an aged cheese along with a great crack and nutty flavor. Not one bite of our lunches made it past 2024, as we spared not one leaf of lettuce or a single chip. Even the coffee (Samoa with some kind of syrup and milk) was delicious, just a tad sweet for my liking but tasting quite legit, not like one you'd get from a gas station cappuccino machine. I would be remiss if I did not mention the people. For 2pm, this place was HOPPING. And every worker there had a smile on their face! Not only this, but they happily brought our food to us outside. I was lucky enough to briefly chat with the owner, Lane, as he casually checked on the tables outside. He came across as authentic, cheerful, and involved, and explained he planned to keep the prices low and the food fresh and fast just as it was in our experience. Genuinely can't recommend this place enough, I will 100% be back if I don't die in a freak accident. Made our day trip to the area worth it. Cafe 44 was the perfect place to have lunch on the beautiful day we were blessed with to finish off the year! Thanks Cafe 44! p.s. I seriously can't emphasize enough how fresh this food was, like they made every portion size one at a time for each meal (though I am fairly certain this is not the case it was that good, think artisan farmers market ingredients). Thinking about eating at Subway now that I've eaten here just about makes me sick!

I really liked the tomato basil soup and the blackened chicken wrap. The avocado was perfect. My bf…read moresad his california club wasn't great because the chicken was a little cold and he didn't like the "canned chicken" texture. Otherwise though very pleasant. Very busy on Saturdays.

I'm so glad I got a chance to come to this place! The ladies were so lovely that served us and…read moreoverall I really enjoyed the experience. I ordered a pot of their Gayo Ginger tea and it was delicious and just what I needed and wanted. It had a nice little bite to it. My favorite savory bite was the Lemper Ayam, made with sticky rice and shredded chicken which was so yummy. My favorite sweet bite was the Dadar Gulung. It definitely was something I've never had anything close to before and I really enjoyed it. That grated coconut in there gave the treat so much heartiness and flavor inside that rolled pandan pancake. Our seating area was in the general area, but still great and because the place is pretty small anyway there's not a ton of people inside which makes it very intimate and personable. I especially want to thank the restaurant for the menus with our names on them. That was really a wonderful gesture. Such a lovely experience. I definitely would recommend for all tea lovers out there. It really would be a cute date idea too for a tea loving couple. And the strip mall that it's in has plenty of parking. Now at the time that we went it was a little bit limited because I think a lot of people happen to be over that way eating Sunday brunch or dinner so it was a little bit packed, but I was able to find something immediately.
