They have a lot of pastry, sandwich, gelato, and coffee options and this time around I opted for the pistachio croissant and a mocha. It was a bit expensive but I think both items tasted great!

The space is beautiful and the patio is large, and all the food looks incredible. However when we went inside it was cramped, loud and chaotic, The woman behind the counter did not speak a word to us, only seemed intent on getting us through the line. The interaction with staff will make or break a place like this. We quickly picked two filled doughnuts and rushed to the register. I about fell over when she asked for $14.40! Have we all lost our minds?! So a dozen doughnuts is $84?? No thanks. Enough is enough with average experiences being ridiculously overpriced. At home, the product lacked flavor and freshness. We were disappointed and considered these a waste of money.

Super cute and cozy! Great place to get work done and the staff is very sweet…read more I was excited that they had a vegan empanada! Hoping they expand their vegan options.

U & Me Bakery is an amazing place for coffee and a tasteful bite. I first came across this on a…read moredrive to downtown Norcross taking Medlock Bridge. I'm always looking for a new coffee spot and even better when the coffee spot offers food options. The eatery options here are pretty endless, and let's give a moment alone for their amazing empanadas. The interior is set up with tables, chairs, high tops, couches, and TV's with lofi backgrounds to set the scene even more. Parking is shared with the patrons from the gas station, as well as the other tenants in the shopping center. The location can get busy at times, but the service is great regardless. The price for items is well worth it in my opinion given the portion size and the flavor.

Great cafe in the medlock crossings plaza next to the Regal theaters. Plenty of seating inside,…read moreeven though it can get packed pretty quickly, but there's also outdoor seating too for whenever the weather is nice. Lots of coffee options as well as tea and fruit drinks for non coffee drinkers. Their croffles are delicious! I got the honey one and I really liked it! The baristas were also really nice and quick with the orders, even when there were a lot of drinks and food to make. I was impressed! Definitely coming back especially if I need a change in environment when I work as it seems like a great place to sit and get some work done.

From the outside, it looks pretty tame and unassuming for a coffee shop, but the moment you step inside, it's like walking into a completely different universe. The interior is absolutely gorgeous. I kid you not, it makes you feel like you're sitting inside a real-life geode! The walls are lined with the cutest shelves and unique little trinkets. Their counters were stacked with all kinds of delicious-looking treats, and I honestly had a hard time deciding what to get. I finally settled on a chai tea and a caramel croffle. What really blew me away was how different this place feels from a standard chain coffee shop. The staff genuinely made me feel welcome and cared for. Within just a few minutes my order was ready. The chai tea tasted so authentic, not like it came out of a mass-produced bottle. And the croffle? Perfect. It had that beautiful subtle essence of a flaky croissant. And the caramel wasn't overly sugary at all so you could actually enjoy the rich flavors. I had the most pleasant afternoon here. If you're ever in the area and looking for a cozy spot to unwind, you absolutely have to check this place out! #ashsaidit #fyp #coffeeshopvibes #aestheticcafe #coffeelover #croffle #hiddengems #supportlocal #johnscreekeats #johnscreekcoffee

The matcha was perfectly strong and green how I like it and the banana pudding was so sweet and complimented it so well I also loved how the Nilla wafers on top were still crunchy--at some places they keep them refrigerated & they get soggy. The baristas were so cute and sweet and my drink came out quick. I was pleasantly surprised because I just came in for a drink without pottery, and it was still good. It looked so clean and cute in there. I would definitely come back for another drink and to try the crafts!

The employees are always so helpful whenever I have questions about a drink or want recommendations. This time, I tried the Mango Coco. I believe it's made with mango slush, coconut milk, salted cheese foam, and sago. It was good! I definitely should have reduced the sugar level though, because it was too sweet for my taste. One thing I really appreciate about Artistea is that the drinks don't taste artificial. During my last visit, I got the Banana Pudding Matcha, and although all I could taste was banana, it tasted like real banana rather than artificial flavoring. Today, the mango tasted real as well, which I really appreciate. As for the activities offered, I think they're such a cute idea and I would love to participate. However, I would personally love to see more practical painting options, like mugs or plates. I just can't quite justify spending $20+ on a small figurine. One thing I would like to mention for possible improvement in future is upkeep. While the activities are cute and fun, it can get messy. We noticed a lot of paint and glute on the tables and chairs. Overall, I enjoy stopping by for the drinks whenever I'm in the area, and the service is always great. I would definitely recommend checking this place out!

I don't understand the model - shouldn't they keep restocking fresh? Recommend getting here sometime mid day when they're probably remaking fresh items.

Once we walked inside we were greeted by the owners of the shop and were very surprised by the chill atmosphere!

I ordered an ube puff with vanilla cream filling and my boyfriend got dulce de leche with vanilla filling. The boba tea I got was Thai tea and it was delicious!

The location offers both interior and exterior seating. The interior offers an adorable coffee shop vibe, with a merch section for those looking to buy items with the companies logo. Parking is shared with all of downtown Duluth's parking area meaning that over the weekend it can get quite busy. Service was quick even while the shop itself seemed a bit busy. My husband and I each ordered a drink. A flavored latte for him and a matcha with cold foam for me. The prices are decent and they also offer rewards.

Elevated dining (think linen tablecloths and chandeliers), I saw a lovely outdoor courtyard eating space but we ate lunch in their dining room. My friend and I split a number of their petite plates so we could try a lot of things! We got the croissant loaf with whipped fig butter (literally causing me to salivate thinking about it now), seafood dumplings , salt and pepper sea bass and crabcakes We decided to indulge with a couple delightful cocktails- I got the lychee G&T and my friend enjoyed the cucumber basil matinee. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend Pêche Modern Coastal!

Pour that on with the butter, now that's a good thought. They need something to make it stand out. I tried the shrimp and grits. First thing first, don't get this dish if you're really hungry. They bring it out in a really big bowl and it's just a little bit.. the chicken sausage is cut up whole like chopped hotdogs. It really looks lazy and unappealing. The flavor wasn't bad, not great, but not nasty. Nothing special at all. Now for the restaurant itself (decor), I liked it. I think it's a great setting for lunch indoors or outdoors. I'd try them again for dinner to see if it's better, but going back for brunch, not likely.

Cutest little cafe. Nestled in between a barber shop & dog groomer…read more Cafe itself was clean, stunning & spacious. I always get nervous when out with the littles - in hopes anywhere we visit, they'd have food the toddler could enjoy. He sure did enjoy the pizza. And for $5, even better! I wish they had a little corner nook designated for kids. Toddler wanted to touch everything & we aren't trying to break & buy broken things here. lol. The Thai tea w/ crystal boba. 50% sweetness - perfect. Not sure if it's just me - I love my Thai teas but they stain your teeth and lips, orange. Not flattering.

They have a variety of bubble tea and coffee options. It seems they probably specialize more in coffee than bubble tea, but we ordered 2 bubble teas and 1 coffee. I liked that they offered really unique flavors or mixtures for their bubble teas. Definitely not drinks we would've found at other places. The 2 bubble tea drinks were tasty and we were happy with them, but I didn't find anything particularly special about them and probably wouldn't seek out this cafe for bubble tea. But I would definitely order from here if I were in the area and looking for something to fill my sweet tooth. My husband's coffee, however, was really good especially with lychee jelly added to it! Also, the staff here was really friendly. She helped answer questions about drinks before we ordered and even helped recommend some. The cafe is very large with plenty of space to walk around for my toddler and plenty of seating if you just want to hang out. They also have a bar you can sit at while youre waiting for your drinks. You can also buy some ramen bowls here! And they have some desserts available for purchase too.
