    Exotic fries
    Marissa N.

    Everything was super good! The slaw was generously dressed and perfect with the mango habenero sauce on the ABC, just like the friendly, patient and helpful employee said. She knew just what to say. The Jolly Rancher was our favorite over all. We also ordered the exotic fries, they came out hot, perfectly crisp and seasoned perfectly. Drinks stood out too as a must order, the iced Chai tea latte was good for sure, the iced ginger honey was even better and the best was the iced strawberry matcha laatte.

    So I can get my list for a while. You come and it's more sandwich spot than coffee spot but that's okay. It's not big at all but at the same time there are some spaces to be able to sit and eat (a couple indoor and a few outdoor). The service was good ... My first time going the person at the register was very patient and explained the items to me. It's not like there are that many but still lol. Abc chicken sandwich (combo) - So the combo comes with fries and a drink. The drink is not a fountain drink, but the drink is a bottled drink in the cooler. The fries are heavily seasoned to near perfection. They are crispy and seasoned and you don't even really need ketchup on them if you don't want. It comes with a sauce, I really wasn't sure what it was so I really can't give you the exact description of it but it wasn't bad but I rather prefer ketchup if I was going to probably take up the fries but the fries were good on their own! Now this chicken sandwich is going to have you looking at it sideways! It was perfectly crispy, sauce was on there. Spread very intensefully, the bun was soft and not overly hard or anything like that. The sandwich was spicy and had a hell of a lot of flavor to it! It was a really good sandwich! It was basically too much for the bun. The cutlet that they use was falling out of the bun and that made it even better! It came with pickles on the bottom of it where the sauce was as far as the positioning of that and the bun. So just keep that in mind. But this sandwich was absolutely awesome. I want to note that the sandwich comes as fried or grilled so I've had both. The fried one is actually good because of the savory mixed with the crunch. But if you want to not navigate the fried chicken because of oil or cholesterol, the grilled chicken is also really good as well. You throw the coleslaw on top of that, and you are golden! Diggity Dan bing - This is a crepe with eggs, cheese and bacon... Because you wouldn't know by the name LOL. So it's basically the crepes that are cut in half and served in a little box as the picture shows. They are thin as they should be, but I added bacon to mine which is only $2 more. But that made it extra savory. It was really good, I wouldn't say that you should get it as a main dish because you'll definitely be hungry, but it definitely had a good taste to it. Overall I see no flaw in this spot. It was super dope and I would and will go back again. The chicken sandwich was worth it! I got mine spicy so I had a little kick to it, they are definitely going to make me want to go back. Now. Just make sure you go back. Trying to go at a time where hopefully it won't be full as far as seating goes, but either way, the sandwich is worth it. It lives up to a lot of the hype!

    Dirty chai latte w/ almond milk (hot)

    This sandwich was good as hell!!! For yearsss the chicken caesar sandwich at Zaddy's has been my favorite sandwich in ATL and finally it has a rival! I ordered the Jolly Rancher sandwich (spicy) and a Dirty Chai Latte (hot). I ordered everything to go and it came out pretty quick. When I got home and finally bit into the sandwich I was in love at 1st bite. The chicken was perfectly crispy and well seasoned, the bacon perfect thickness & crisp, the slightly runny egg & avocado made the perfect sauce, and everything is encased in soft sesame buns. The whole thing is just dead on. And pretty filling. Great 1st visit!!

    ABC sandwich (add bacon) and Loaded Fries

    I enjoyed Java Saga. I had the ABC sandwich and the loaded fries, both of which were huge orders. The chicken sandwich was so big I decided to go the knife and fork route. A tasty spot and I'm sure I'll be back.

    ABC Sandwich, Fries, Mountain Dew
    Stephen M.

    Saw this place on TikTok and to my surprise it was right down the street from where I was! Java Saga is a pretty small cafe & restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. This place is clearly very popular as every seat was taken, although there aren't many to begin with. I got the ABC sandwich combo that came with fries and a drink. I believe it was around $17. The sound was incredible. The chicken was large and well seasoned and came with some fresh slaw on the sandwich. The sandwich came apart probably due to the moistness of the sauce and slaw but I didn't care at that point. The fries are crinkle cut--pretty good and it comes with A LOT of fries! I'll definitely be back.

    I didn't really get the hype of this place. Quite honestly it's rather expensive. I think I spent over $20 for a sandwich and a drink. To their benefit, I made the sandwich look bigger than it was, but realistically it's about half the size of the chicken sandwiches at the advertise on their social media. So it's kinda manipulating a customer to think they're gonna get something more than they are. As far as the sandwich, it was OK. The chicken was hot and crispy, but kind of fell flat on the seasoning. The fries definitely needed a couple more minutes in the fryer. They were pretty soggy and lacked any salt. They had like some kind of ranch powder seasoning on them, but definitely no salt. Not sure I would really go back here again as it was just OK but certainly not worth the money or the drive

    Chicken wings!

    Inside Java Saga it's casual, with limited seating inside although there are also a few table outside. The food is great! I really enjoyed the flavor of the chicken and the seasoning on the fries, and when they say that some of their seasonings are spicy they mean it, which is also something I appreciate. The staff were super friendly and helpful in guiding us to the right selections.

    Eggcited Croissant with Bacon!!!!!! So much more delicious than you would assume just hearing egg salad on bread!!!!!
    Marian D.

    Loved - Loved - Loved - Loved The egg Salad was wonderful. Unexpectedly delicious especially with the bacon. I was so happy to have six a yummy breakfast. Tigers blood latte is like a brown sugar latte very good Disliked / Disliked / Disliked / Disliked / Disliked / That I wasn't hungry enough to order and try out more things! I'll be back!

    ABC Sandwich Ginger Honey Tea
    Chandrika R.

    Finally made it to Java Saga to try the famous chicken sandwich. The sandwich with the apple slaw and mango habanero sauce was definitely tasty. The crust on the chicken had a lot of umami seasoning on it. Eating this was messy and my hands were covered in sauce by the end. The staff offered me wipes to clean up bc despite wiping everything off, my hands were super sticky. Is this the best chicken sandwich ever? I'm not sure. I may actually be super boring and prefer the traditional. It was tasty thought and for me, a specific craving. I got an iced honey ginger tea as well which was clearly fresh and was really good. They have a few tables right by the counter, and a few more outside. They have heaters and plastic tarps to keep the outside warm.

    Eggcited Crossaint with bacon
    John L.

    My third review of this place and let me just say - everyone absolutely needs to go there right now. When I first ate at Java Saga years ago, my sentiment was they were good tasting and unique but they were life changing. I now can proudly say that they are. If you're having a good day with beautiful weather, Java Saga can make it even better. If you're having a terrible day, Java Saga can make it seem not so bad. Let's talk food - all their menu items are tasty but here are the standouts to me. 1) The ABC - it's their chicken sandwich with their slaw. The sharp, sweet taste of the slaw contasts with the crispy, tangy chicken for a satisfying bite in every bite. 2) The Loaded Fries - I eat a lot of loaded fries and I think these might be the best in their presentation and taste. The fries are crinkle cut, perfectly crispy and do not get soggy. There is bae sauce and mango habenero sauce on them along with melted cheese and chopped bacon. The ratios of each are all pretty much perfect. Everytime I come, I upgrade my Exotic fries to these. I honestly can't not get them if I am here on location. 3) Eggcited Crossaint - I had this item today. It was the last item I had for menu completion and honestly I think this their best sandwich in a fantastic lineup. I got it with the bacon. The flaky, buttery, soft crossaint contrasted wonderfully with the cold egg salad and the hot thick bacon. It likely is going to my go-to when I stop in. Go. Go now. And then go again

    Chick bits
    Amanda C.

    4 for me and 5 for my husband so I'll round it up to 5! Ordered the ABC sandwich, chick bits (popcorn chicken), danbing (egg crepe), and lu rou fan (braised pork rice). I ordered online before they opened for 11:15am pick up. When I got there at 11:16 there was already a decent line for lunch but luckily my food was ready. The sandwich was very good - refreshing slaw and crispy yet juicy chicken. Huge piece of chicken too! Would definitely get this again. Popcorn chicken was exactly how we like it - with fried basil which some places don't add. The danbing was fried which is not what we are used to in Taiwan. It was good but just not as expected, but I guess this place is more fusion than traditional. Which leads to the lu rou fan. The fatty pork belly and flavor was just how my husband likes it. The quail eggs were different but glad there were a couple there. I didn't like the pickles - usually there are yellow radish pickles but these were American style pickles. My husband didn't mind though! Overall a great to-go spot (not much seating), reasonable prices, and will definitely return.

    Basic Chick Sandwich and Exotic Fries
    Ashlynn K.

    Love this place and will always come back! Chicken is HUGE, crunchy, sooo flavorful. For $12, the combo is a steal. We ordered the Basic Chick with mango habanero sauce and their Exotic fries with an apple soda. Service was quick and food came out quickly!

    Xing C.

    I noticed Java Saga's new Jolly Rancher burger and decided to give it a try, especially with the spend $20 and get free Taiwanese popcorn chicken promotion. The price is on the higher side, but the promo made it worth trying. The burger portion was generous -- a large piece of grilled spicy chicken, crispy bacon, a fried egg, and avocado. Everything came together better than expected. One bite in, it was juicy and flavorful, and the combination was surprisingly good. I ordered the combo with fries, and they included a white sauce that paired nicely with them. The free popcorn chicken was fried golden and still juicy inside. Overall, other than being a bit pricey, I don't really have any complaints. Solid food and a pleasant surprise.

While my review itself is a bit late, I do think about this place often because of how good the food was. I haven't had pepitos before, but this made an amazing introduction for me! From the outside, it looked like the rest of the plaza and didn't stand out much. Stepping in, it was surprisingly pretty cool and a bit modern with the lighting and walls. It was clean too. I would recommend getting a pepitos over the burger, though both are great. It's just easier to put away the rest for later because of how filling eating just half is. The fries were crispy and good for trying out all the sauces. And the sauces? Love the variety. The bacon sauce truly tastes like bacon and has bits of it in it. Corn is probably made with sweet corn, and it was creamy. Love the garlic. The honey mustard was good too. Cheese confuses me. It wasn't a cheese flavor I am more familiar with, and it wasn't like the cheese used in the meal. I didn't dislike it, but I also did mix sauces together, and I liked it better once mixed with something else. Garlic still is just great overall though. We ended with churros, which were pretty good. They drizzle lots of chocolate, caramel, and condensed milk over them, and while I felt guilty after eating so much food, I loved every moment. They give quite a bit, and we couldn't finish them all. Great dessert for sharing, and another draw to this place if you don't want a full meal, though I highly recommend getting food as well.

Good food reminds me that God is real because WHEW I felt blessed eating here LOL. The best in price, the best in quality, and the best in quantity... there are 10s across the board. It was a little cramped in the dining area around 4PM on a Saturday, so I got some sandwiches to go. I'd say there are about 15 tables (4-seats) max in this space, so it can fill up fast. They do have a few chairs to sit near the front door while waiting for your to-go order. The service was really great, and the women working the floor were all smiles. It took around 10 minutes from ordering to get our goods. Now to the food. Words cannot express the bliss I experienced biting into these sandwiches. We did the buy 5 get 1 free deal, which is a certified steal given the quality of the food. It came out to 25.75 after taxes and card fee -- C'MON NOW! The Capricorn in me loves a good deal. Half were the #6, the other three were the #7. The bread banged, the meats' quality and quantity were absolutely outstanding, and it was stuffed full of all the amazing veggie fixings and condiments. The seasonings are YUM with a nice hint of spice to round out the flavor. The sandwich literally had the perfect ratio of everything. And no re-heating necessary! These sandwiches were eaten over the course of two days and they didn't become hard or soggy, a testament to the quality. I have nothing else to say and I promise you the banh mi speaks for itself. I didn't try the pho this time but I'm adding it to my list!

This place gets busy and the parking lot does not accommodate that reality at all. It's at a very busy intersection with oddly placed entrances. But patrons make it work, and the quality keeps people coming regardless of how crazy the parking gets. I learned recently that Henri's is quite an Atlanta institution, and has been around for a loooong time. But I understand why. The service is great, regardless of location. The baristas actually like to talk to you even during the morning hustle. They are well-staffed and you can tell their employees like working there. Sharon is awesome, and the guy who mans the sandwich station is REALLY good at his job. The inside is kept clean, and it's a really calming environment for a coffee shop. Whoever designed their cafes did a great job, as the theme is consistent in their sister locations. I really have no complaints about the food. The meat is fresh. The bread is fresh. They make many of their bakery items at an HQ and locally distribute them to their sister locations. The pastry section is well-appointed and the display makes them very tempting. The Reuben with pastrami is *CHEF'S KISS*. Just make sure you get it on a more durable bread, because the sauce can get a little messy and make the sandwich soggy. I'm sad to report that they do not serve matcha here yet. But the chai latte and standard latte was delicious with a nice, thick layer of foam on top. They even have sugar-free syrup options for people looking to curb the sugar. They do have high-chairs for the babies. Love this place. They just do it right.

    I know this review might get removed because Yelp seems pretty arbitrary when it comes to food…read moretrucks. I see some entries for food trucks with over a thousand reviews, but I once had a review removed because Yelp said they don't allow food truck reviews. I checked and didn't see any people reviewing them at their traditional 'stops,' so I figured it wouldn't be appropriate to post my review under Schoolhouse Brewing / Schoolhouse Brewery, even though that's where we visited them. I don't want to waste a lot of time writing a review that might disappear, so let me just say - my sandwich was delicious and the customer service was warm and friendly. They can be found at - Schoolhouse Brewery, 840 Franklin Ct, Marietta, GA 30067 Truck & Tap Brewery, 8640 E Main St, Woodstock, GA 30188 Truck & Tap Brewery, 3137 Main St, Duluth, GA 30096 Stillfire Brewery 343 US-23, Suwanee, GA 30024 Their website lists their locations. Kudus to them for posting real-time, frequent updates and making it easy for fans to find / follow them. As I mentioned above, we visited them at the Schoolhouse Brewing, Marietta location. It's been FOREVER since I drove down Franklin Rd and I was amazed at all the changes. I would never have realized this little brewery was tucked back there in a office park / business park. We visited fairly early and there was plenty of parking. We wanted to try a little bit of everything, so we had The Original (breaded pork loin with mustard and pickle) The Original (breaded pork loin - modified - mayo instead of mustard - no pickle) The Shredded Pig (pulled pork w/BBQ or Hot sauce & pickles) The Chicken Tenders (chicken Tenders, dipping sauce & a side of potato chips) Single order of french fries Everything was pretty tasty, but 'The Original' stole the show. Their menu describes it as a pork chop sandwich, but they're doing themselves a bit of a disservice describing it this way. This is more like a huge piece of pork schnitzel. It's been pounded thin, so it's nice and tender (almost like veal) and hand breaded. The meat is so much larger than the bun that it makes the bun look comical. Lol. Thoroughly enjoyed.
