    Such a cute coffeeshop to chat with friends or do some work! They have a shelf full of pastries from giant muffins to scones to cupcakes and they also make different custard buns, toasts and croissant sandwiches. For drinks, their coffee is on point (and I drink my coffee black). They also have espresso drinks and bubble tea. I got the Thai tea custard and ham and cheese buns. Loved the Thai tea custard bun! It was only about $1 (now $4 but still super cheap) and was a Hawaiian roll filled with Thai tea flavored custard. The ham and cheese was savory but I was not excited about that. They have about stables that seat two and near outlets. Plus free WiFi!

    Yakitori chicken fried rice

    I stopped by for lunch the service was good and friendly by a nice oriental lady. I had yakitori chicken fried rice with mango green tea as a chaser. Fulton county sales tax was a little high but i bit the bullet for this meal.Ambiance was quiet with lounge music. The food was bland but ok. Maybe next time i will try another place. This is more a bagel and breakfast place that serves a variety of healthy drinks and bubble teas if thats your thing.

    An awesome local boba shop! It's perfect for coming to study and get work done, or to grab an inexpensive snack, or even to catch up with friends over dessert! There are tons of menu items and lots of unique choices with a range of prices, from boba to toast to savory foods as well. Many boba cafes don't serve food/meals, let alone dessert, so it's great that this has it all. I've made a few visits and their boba, toast selections, and dessert are all pretty good at reasonable prices. It seems like some of the food is homemade but some of it isn't. Wait time was a little long, but I didn't mind too much since I was dining in. This is a great small business to support and I believe it's family-owned.

    I really wish I had discovered this cafe earlier everything is so so nice. Staff is so chill, very considerate but not annoyingly nice or nosy :) Interior is quiet and comfortable (love that the music is low, some cafes have super loud music, and for what??). The food is beyond amazing!! The boba to be honest (pearls a kind of, soggy?) is not the best, but the pork belly bao and the fish fillet bao. So good! The pork is tender and flavorful, and the fish pairs really nicely with the sauce in the bun. The chicken does not have much flavor but it doesn't really matter since the sauce is quite tasty. The pandan toast was so so good, fresh and flavorful with a nice texture - my only complaint is that it's far too sweet. The pork floss toast has the same issue - flavorful but too salty. Overall i cannot recommend this spot enough. Food is so good, not to mention the amazing prices. Spent around $35 on 2 toasts, 2 baos, 1 boba, and chicken, definitely a deal. 10/10, I want to try everything on their menu!

    This is one of my favorite Coffee Shops! I love to get the Pumpkin Spice Iced Latte which you can get all year round! I also love to get the Thai Tea Blended Ice, The Pink Milk, and the Caramel Frappe. They also have delicious lunch offerings such as The Pork floss Bread, The Egg Cheese Lava Toast, and several of the Bao Buns as well. The Employees are so nice and friendly too:)

    This place is heavenly. It's hard to find a cafe that has super comfortable seating, pleasant jazz music, and amazing food. I ordered a chicken bao bun, and the steamed dumplings (chicken filling). On top of that I got an ice green tea. Everything tasted great and was affordable. Definitely will be trying their $4.99 bacon egg and cheese bagel next time. Cheers!

    I dropped my rating down due to inconsistencies in pricing. I've been here probably 10 times since my first visit this summer because of the phenomenal price of my go-to drink ~ its cheap cost is the main pull that brings me back again & again. However, my usual barista hasn't been here and there's been inconsistency with the price every time I order ~ probably because of how the staff is trained. But my order price has changed 3 times. I think my loyalty lies with my usual barista and not Lavena Cafe.

    Small chai tea latte

    Cute little cafe and there were several patrons hanging out, studying, and socializing. It was nice to see the cafe is so lively in the middle of a weekday . The menu is extensive with thick loaves of bread and varied toppings offered. I'm on a low-carb diet so I went with a small chai tea latte. The latte was very good! Great blending of flavors and very smooth. Lavena also offer an array of Asian fusion foods for dine-in or takeout. However, the pastries and muffins definitely looked store bought vs. fresh made. I would return only for the drinks.

    Was in the mood for sugary treats, so I stopped by one weekend afternoon. Parking is plentiful. This adorable cafe is small, but has ample seating indoor. The space is open and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. They offer coffee, tea, bubble teas, pastries, and Artisan toasts with unique topping combos. I ordered the following: Condensed Milk Toast $1.99 Large Honeydew Milk Tea with boba $4.19 The toast was incredible! Satisfied my huge sweet tooth. The milk soaked into the bread, but did not get soggy. The honeydew milk tea was refreshing, but was lacking a bit in flavor. I believe they used powder, which I'm not a big fan of. The boba however, had good consistency and flavor. I will be back for more toast and to try other items on the menu!

    Lavena Cafe is a nice little spot to enjoy some tea/coffee and snacks. Cozy ambiance and great relaxing atmosphere. Can see why it became so popular. Good place to chill in general. The offer some of your standard bubble tea options. They also offer some actual food too. They have huge selection of different toast options which is one of their signature items. Definitely take more than one visit to try. Besides the toast they offer sandwiches and pasta as well as other items. I ended up getting the green tea milk tea with redbean along with pork bao and pepperoni toast. Tasted pretty good overall. The food and drinks here are pretty simple in general but that's really how it should be when it comes to these types of cafe, it doesn't have to be overly complicated to be good.

    Very nice and peaceful coffee shop.

    I like this small and cosy Lavena Cafe very much. Excellent espresso, and home-baked sweet treats which you can enjoy just relaxing and listening to peaceful ambiental music. There's Wi-Fi so all good if you want to browse Internet or work on line. In fact, after all the busy and noisy franchise chain venues, it is a pleasure to just forget the world for a while in these pearls of coffee shops that still exist.

    What a charming and cozy coffee in Johns Creek! I'm so happy to have found this place to check out…read morewith friends. We got here on a chilly Friday afternoon but instantly felt warm once we stepped in. After going through the choices and checking the display shelf, I went with the Zaffron Latte and Baklava to share with a friend. The latte was absolutely amazing and loved the subtle sweetness and fragrance of the saffron. In fact, I think it's my favorite latte I have ever had in the area! The Baklava was also delicious and filled with pistachios but not overly sweet. The staff/owners are also super welcoming and very nice! Seating is limited, but there is a huge parking lot in the front. I can't wait to come back for another latte and to try more of their baked goodies!

    My husband and I stumbled across ArtAro Cafe on our way home to the post office one day. We looked…read moreit up as we didn't have time to stop on our way home, and knew we needed to try it out soon - as it seemed to have a very Mom-and-Pop vibe which is very much our style. Upon our visit, the interior was quaint and very much looked like a coffee shop straight out of a movie setting. Food items (apart from bakery) are made to order which is always nice. Parking is plenty, however it is shared with the neighboring businesses. The barista was extremely nice and was beyond willing to give her opinion on items. My husband and I each ordered a drink (mine was the super yummy Honey Milk Safron) and shared a small selection of banana nut muffin bites. The drinks were great and we'd love to come back to try their food items as well!
