    Donuts made by JOY Donuts
    Cindy C.

    They make the cutest donuts and their customer service is fabulous. We did place this order early to ensure it would be available and ready for teacher appreciation week. My son and husband have gone on Saturdays and enjoyed eating there sharing donuts and said it was a nice experience.

    Very fresh donuts with very friendly staff. The character donuts are the best. My kids love them very much. Will come back.

    My favorite donut place!! I love supporting this place. We come here a couple times a week. Their donuts are always so fresh. The couple that own it are always so friendly and eager to help. My favorite donut is the apple fritter. They have a large one and a small one. I'm not going to lie, I get the large one! That's how delicious they are! They're hours are slightly different due to the current situation, but it's posted on their door.

    Got a secret folks... this morning while getting my car serviced I took a walk and discovered a wonderful donut shop. Joy Donuts! Wonderful fresh donuts with good coffee are served by friendly people eager to please. Seriously I am not from Dacula but I will make the drive to come back to get these fresh tasty gems. The photos while showing the creativity do not do justice to the quality and taste. By the way they also have some sausages which are wrapped in pastry and similar items. Not cheap (like grocery store donuts) but worth the price. Free parking at the door but limited inside seating. I appreciate that they wore masks and encouraged patrons to social distance.

    I am normally a Rays Donuts fan but wanted to try this new location for donuts b/c it's closer to home. While their donut selection features a colorful array of character themed, frosting heavy creations, I didn't feel like the donuts were necessarily special. I did try the cronut style donut with chocolate glaze and powdered sugar which what probably what I liked the most. The cronut donut had a chewier texture than a yeast donut and was not a super sweet mess to eat.

    VIRAL GA PEACH MILK MATCHA…read more I continue to get messages from local folks saying that they are disappointed in the local Asian food scene... Are they disappointed in the food scene or are they just disappointed that there are no good food accounts to show them the way? Most people have trouble researching local food, I get that. I understand. I have many thoughts on this, especially when your feed is now clogged with foodies that are only money grabbing local businesses and not truly supporting the community and it's innovation. If a businesses doesn't have a "social media marketing budget," that doesn't mean that they don't have life changing food and drinks. You just haven't found them yet, because the business is not willing to pay a model to promote them. A delicious moment is when you realize that OTP Atlanta is a food travel destination. Especially, Gwinnett county. Nothing brings back a specific memory like the flavor of a beloved drink at the coziest bubble tea shop. It is my secret, hidden gem hangout spot. These moments make me question my own origins, where I live, and just like many of you --- how I take Georgia for granted. 1 Peach Milk Matcha Latte - Creamy, delicious and not too sweet. I'm surprised how well the peach flavor pairs with matcha. 2 Yuzu Citrus Drink - Super refreshing and mild citron style drink. This drink is best at 50% sweetness and with crystal boba.

    I have always driven past this cafe but never had the time to stop by. Well today was the day I was…read moregoing to check it out. Parking can be a bit confusing as there are some in the front and I believe having some In The back as well! The cute logo stands outside the door and the sign and once you go inside you are greeted by nice staff and a very spacious environment with an inviting ambiance. There was many things to do and keep yourself entertained such as board games, arcade games, claw games and tons of comfy seating. This place is perfect to hang out with friends. I ordered a Thai tea latte with oat milk and got tapioca pearls. They do charge you $1 for milk substitute and the tapioca will be 0.90 so be aware. The barista took his time allowing me to figure out what to order but also creating my drinks from scratch. He helped me out and gave me a bag to hold my drinks together. The drink itself was okay. It tasted a bit off as far as flavor wise but the tapioca was fresh. Thai tea was a bit too milky and almost as if powder hasn't fully dissolved. I think I will try a different drink next time as I wasn't too much of a fan. The service and environment is what sold me so I will be back!

    Green Tea has been recently renamed to ATL Sushi Pho and I think the quality has improved…read moresignificantly since the first time I visited before the changes. We ordered combination pho and it was as good as our favorite place about an hour away. We paid a few dollars less than we normally pay, and got slightly less protein, but my bowl still had a good variety of cuts, tripe, and fat. I was happy with the savings and the flavor. We also ordered Massaman Curry, and the curry was delicious, but we removed the chicken because it had a strange texture. I'll stick to vegetables next time.

    This restaurant has been here for over a decade, and was recently bought out. It used to be…read morefantastic, and i can say now after biting the bullet and trying it my self through doordash, it's garbage. Poorly made and overpriced. the coconut soup was sickeningly sweet, it tasted like there was as much sugar in it as would be in a dessert. for a savory dish, it was gag-worthy. The sushi roll was at least edible, but the tempura outside was soggy and it was half the size for the same price. Mind you, I had ordered from them many times through doordash before the change in management, so it isnt a matter of delivery or in-person. I have never had that problem before. New owner kept all the menu items and names but can't be bothered to use the original recipes, instead opting for shoddier, cheaper, and PRICIER versions. There are many other perfectly good asian restaurants around, don't waste your money on this place. Also note that google reviews for this restaurant are disabled. I wonder why?

    very cute cozy restaurant. you order at the front and if it includes food they will bring it to…read moreyour table. the workers aren't super friendly but i wouldn't call them rude. all of the drinks i've tried here are really good!!!! i love their yogurt drinks especially. very fresh unfortunately tho the food is ehh... the pho is expensive for what you receive which i guess i understand bc it's in downtown lawrenceville. but it really is just /okay/. something to satisfy your pho cravings temporarily if you don't want to drive into duluth traffic. they use the thicker flat noodles here instead of the thin ones you usually find at viet restaurants in the area which threw me off a bit (nothing incorrect about it, just not the norm here since most viets are southern). and the meat isn't soft/taste fresh. the banh mi is hit or miss. the first time i tried it it was decent (the thit nuong was a bit odd, saucy. def not standard thit nuong) but the second time i ordered it i took it to-go and bruhhh it tastes so bad!! banh mi isn't something that should only be enjoyed fresh, i waited barely a couple of hours and it was p inedible i legit couldn't finish half of it. i still give them 4 stars bc i rly do enjoy their drinks and the atmosphere. the pho is good enough to keep me satisfied and i haven't tried any other food items beyond the pho and banh mi to give it any less stars. i love to see viet places closer to lawrenceville so i will continue to stop here for drinks at least!

The workers are nice and it's a cute little sit-down place, even with takeout containers. Food was great! Pho tasted good, fries were seasoned, and banh mi bread wasn't stale. I don't usually like banh mi but they're making me change my mind a bit. For the price- I mean, it's Downtown. I'm not coming here expecting to save my pennies. It really isn't bad. Go support your local Asian-owned businesses!

    Overall- the food was delicious and we'll definitely be back for it…read more Something to keep in mind if you're visiting in the next few weeks: they're still new and the staff do seem to still be working out the kinks and getting the hang of things. There is a QR code on the side of the napkin holder that you're supposed to use to order, but we weren't told this so we sat for several minutes before a staff member came by and told us. Then, when I was almost done putting our order in through the QR code process, another staff member came by and asked to take our order. That was a little confusing. Judging by other reviews, it's clear we're not the only ones who hit this snag. However, the confusion could easily be avoided by having the host explain the QR ordering process upon seating guests - and this may be one of those kinks they're working on. There were a few small things like having to ask a few times for the same thing or waiting a bit to get drink refills, but they did seem a little short handed and busy when we were there. Everyone was friendly and the service waits didn't seem to be due to rudeness or laziness - people can only do so many things at one time. The restaurant itself is very cute - there is a boba tea bar where you can see your drinks being made and the menu is easy to understand with plenty of pictures for those who are still new to boba. All in all - the staff could have poured hot soup in my lap and not apologized and I'd still be back for the food. We eat a LOT of Asian food - and not the Americanized kind either. My husband often jokes that he's convinced there's a little old Asian woman trapped inside of me. Their soup dumplings are exponentially better than the ones from the new place that just opened inside the Mall of GA (those are hot garbage. Skip it); the bao was absolutely perfect, meat seasoned masterfully, I could have drank the dumpling sauce straight out of the dish. The soup dumplings (going back to those because I can't praise them enough) were just the right size to eat in one bite without choking (I don't know why this seems so difficult for other places, but it's filled with soup. If you have to bite or cut it in half, it loses the essence of it). I can't wait to go back because I want to try each variation they have! We also got the crispy chicken, pork dumplings with chili sauce, and shrimp sui mai - each one just absolutely delicious. Savory, spicy without being overwhelming, and such depth of flavor. The boba teas were very tasty as well.

    Saw this place open up around Mall of GA from afar…read more I knew it was a mistake when pulling up the front door. Looking in, I couldn't tell if it was open or closed at 7PM, but fortunately/unfortunately, it was open for business, so we went in and risked it for the biscuit. Pretty sure the soup dumpling were store-bought and re-heated + the pork had a flavor of old meat. Somehow, the pork/crab soup dumpling didn't even have crab and yet tasted more pork-intense than the regular pork one in a bad way. The Pork/Chives pan fried dumpling was better since it was actually hand-made, but still had the old-meat tastes Also, $80 for 2 people in a cafeteria setting + a server who threw plates on the table and walked away immediately is a strange experience. 1/10 for the food, 0/10 for the service. Maybe I'm jaded.
