It was definitely time for a review update because since my last review they have changed to a much bigger location and converted into a full restaurant. I love any family owned business and it has been so cool to see this establishment grow from not even having inside seating, to now having a full restaurant and lounge area inside as well as an outside porch area. The ambiance inside is old school and looks pretty cool! The service is friendly and exhibits the southern charm that Marietta is known for. We've had various visits but on this visit it was just me. I got the ham and cheese croissant and a dirty chai. Both were pretty good and the prices were completely reasonable. I will definitely return to this spot again with my family and I highly recommend that you give it a try, especially if your in the area! read more

Nice outdoor seating area with a play area for the kids, and inside it gives off a distinct, old world coffeehouse vibe. The cappuccino was great, food was overall decent, with the pastries standing out but the savory dishes were average. Service also could have been better; I think they just need more staff during busy periods. read more

I knew I would love Sessions Stand when I found it online looking for a cute coffee stop on my drive from Atlanta airport to Chattanooga, it did not disappoint even a little. I walked here from Church St. and it was a beautiful walk past some gorgeous old well-maintained homes. Very charming neighborhood area. This location is prime. It backs up to some trees and vines in the back, has a large park on the side for children, the patio overlooks the part and green space, and it has a large, old building with exposed wood beams, loads of charm, and lots of open space to hang out! If I lived here, I'm sure I'd be here all the time. The food menu was light, but the vibes were strong. Staff were exceptionally friendly and answered my questions and I found the QR table ordering fast and efficient. You can always walk up to the window if you prefer. I had already had lunch so I went light and had a lemon bundt and the French B**** coffee. Both were out quickly and were delicious! The decor inside is gorgeous. Even the bathrooms are fancy and on theme. I stopped next door at the adorable shop and found the entire area to be a joy. 100000% recommend you stop in here, often, and have some goodies for me! read more

This was my first time here catching up with friends. This place included indoor and outdoor seating but we soaked up the beautiful day outside. I ordered biscuit, egg, cheese, and bacon sandwich which I throughly enjoyed. I also had an iced banana pudding latte that I'm still thinking of today. You order outside out of a window and the staff was nice. If you're in the Marietta, GA area, check them out. Parking can be full but there's another lot not too far. read more

Very nice place to hangout and chill, they have plenty of outdoor seating and indoor seating. I really liked the vintage vibes in the indoor seating area. Drinks-wise, I thought they were just okay. The banana pudding latte was pretty good, but didn't taste much banana in it but the coffee itself was decent. The strawberry fields chai was super watery for me, maybe it was me getting oat milk instead of whole milk, and the strawberry and chai flavor was very weak in my opinion. Would love to come back and enjoy the interior a little more and try out some of their pastries. read more

This is a nice space to gather and parle, or chill. Outside has a nice play area for children to play. The servers are attentive and friendly, providing insight into their menus, which was helpful. It has an ever space feel, and is cared for well. The mushroom toast was flavorful but too hard. The strawberry toast was a great blend of sweet and savory. read more

The cutest! AND quite popular ! Decided to switch up my work location and wanted to try Sessions. This spot is BOOKED and busy! Lots of moms with kiddos and strollers taking advantage of the green space and play area. LOTS of folks working remotely. And even more friends/family/colleagues meeting up for chatter, coffee and food! I love the concept! Located off the busy streets and downtown area, there is ample parking. You can order from the walk-up window OR grab a seat inside, scan and order right from your table. The servers were BUSY shuttling orders back and forth, as well as turning tables. The floral walls and bathroom decor are GORGEOUS. I only had coffee - also delicious - but everything that came out the kitchen looked good. If you're looking for a playdate location, swanky remote work spot OR a great venue to catch up with a friend, I HIGHLY recommend this location. An added bonus is secure WiFi. Check it out. You won't be disappointed. read more

This place is great for family brunch, with an adjacent playground and outdoor seating. The occasional train passing by adds to the ambience. Food is delicious and plated and served fashionably. Service is fast and friendly, with each table having a specific QR code. This gives an almost like a European vibe, like you're sipping on your latte while snacking on some fresh eats. read more

My husband had heard nothing but good things about this little place so he drove me out to take a look. It was a very sunny and beautiful day so we decided to take a trip and get a coffee. Parking can be a hassle as the parking lot fills up quick. I got a matcha latte with coconut milk and vanilla. It took some time for my order to get out and once I got it was a beautiful green color. The portions of the matcha weren't the best for the size I got so it was very watered down. I was a bit disappointed so next time I think I'll get a smaller size. The overall ambiance and aesthetic of the place was super cute and family friendly. Next time, we will stay for a full brunch. read more

Been coming here for years and this adorable coffee shop has never disappointed me. They keep their drink menu fresh with seasonal drinks year round, they keep expanding the food menu so you can even have a full sit down meal at breakfast or lunch here, and the staff members are always so friendly and helpful. They are kid and dog friendly which is a perk too! They are always adding new fun things like flea markets, movies in the garden, game nights, crafting, and you can now order pizza from across the street and enjoy drinks in the evenings! read more

I was out here for an event and decided to try a drink and some food. The chicken salad sandwich was so good. I also tried a lavender tea. If I were out in this area again, I would definitely come back for something else. The employee at the window was so helpful and suggested my order to me. She had great suggestions because I enjoyed everything I purchased. The restaurant is at the end of the shopping plaza and has a huge grassy area next to it. The space is perfect for outdoor events and the outdoor seating area was perfect for a nice outing with family or friends. read more

Cafe with limited menu but excellent dishes, breads and proteins are tasty, unique offerings on the menu. Hi See mmm back ambience, wide open dining area with shared tables/chairs, patio, and kids playground read more

For a rustic, living at home environment, with sofas, real chairs, tables and chairs. You order via q r code and they bring you your orders. The food is tasty and my mocha cappuccino was nice. Sometimes the cap is not sweet enough at other shops, but here it was nice. The chocolate tasted like dark chocolate which was different. The do have outside seating and a private parking lot. Be careful using gps as the last turn may have you going left instead of bearing right. Only snag was I needed a little more meat in my ham croissant. There was a small cube log of ham in there that was cute but I needed more. Still I recommend this place read more

I had an espresso and a macchiato with almond milk. Both were pretty good. The espresso was pretty good. They get their beans from Rev Coffee roasters which is one of my go-tos so I recognized the quality. It had a very slight burnt taste but not too bad. The almond milk for the macchiato helped to balance the espresso. read more

So where do I begin to tell the story of Sessions......located in a residential area behind Kennestone Hospital in Marietta. The weather was nice enough to choose outside seating. We asked for a printed menu, and that's when things became very irritating. We were told to use our phones to scan the QR code placed on our table #11. The print on the phone was very small, and it was hard to see what ingredients were in the diffetent items. At this point we were contemplating going somewhere else. But hey, we are not quitters. While playing with our phones we asked for help because we were very frustrated. Nice server came and guided us through the entire ordering process which took quite long time. But this young lady worked very hard to make us happy. Some popular items were sold out before 10:30 am. I understand that this can happen However, if some menu items are so popular, why was the kitchen not prepared for that. After ordering I asked to be sure that the nice server would get her tip. She informed me that all the servers share the tips. I know that some restaurants do that, but as an old restaurant manager, I do not like that. So at the end I insisted giving her a cash tip. She earned it. While waiting for our food we enjoyed watching families with their dogs and playing children on the huge backyard playground. So this restaurant offers a cozy family friendly atmosphere for their quests. But not necessarily a quiet one. Finally we got our meals. Mine was chicken salad croissant with some chips and greens with coffee. My friend ordered a latte with a salad. She was very happy with her latte and she liked her salad. My chicken salad was too thick to my taste and was missing some flavor. Our server was attentive and checked on us several times. So the customer service is good here and seems that the team works well together. Overall, this entire concept is great, nice surroundings, modern interior, inside and outside seating, and chance to order at the front entrance or at the table. There is also a room for a private party at the back of the restaurant. But I found only one unisex restroom with a babychanching table. Not a problem to me, but I think there should be more restrooms. This place was great, and I understand why it's popular but I will not return anytime soon. Next time I will choose an establishment where I don't have to scan QR codes and I will have a menu in my hand. I'm all for progress, but I want to enjoy my meals without this kind of hassle. read more

Very aesthetically pleasing. You can place an order at the outdoor window or from the QR code inside at the different seating locations. I ordered the ham and cheese croissant and iced chai latte. Small parking lot on site. The food and beverage wasn't my favorite but a cute place to come work for the day. read more

I'm gonna be honest, this was probably the worst matcha I've ever gotten from a cafe. It wasn't sweet, had no flavor and was just so so bad overall. And idk why I got a large. It was very pricey too! Loved the ambiance and space. Might come back to try something else, but I would definitely skip the matcha next time. read more

Today was not a good experience. We ordered a good bit because when you come parking is so hard. We ordered two lunch sandwiches (based on their IG post) and I feel we did not get what was advertised. The bread was toasted really hard and hardly any meat. When I asked for the bread not to be hard they wanted to charge me for a whole other sandwich. They won't even fix it had I had the option for it not to be this toasted I would have said no toasting. Then To try and say "it's always this toasted" as if I have never had a sandwich from here. I really miss the old window when it was smaller. It's just too much of a trip to keep coming back for this type of quality and treatment. I'm done. read more

Cute little breakfast/coffee spot! The parking lot is limited, especially on weekends when it's busy. Ordering food was fairly simple and easy. The food came out fairly quickly and everything was good. Toddler/family friendly. I also like that they have a play area right outside for little ones. read more

The cutest coffee shop I've ever seen in an unexpected place. Location and Parking Located on a quiet residential street in Marietta, Sessions Stand has a small lot with free parking. Venue and Atmosphere Sessions has a large beautiful patio, overlooking a grassy lawn. The inside is very beautiful, with plush seating, as well of plenty of table if you want to sit and study. Service Service was prompt, courteous, and efficient. The ordering system isn't clear upfront, but a kind employee explained it to me. Food and Beverages The salmon toast was amazing, as was the jalapeno/bacon pastry and the desserts. The club sandwich was good but I don't need to order it again. The special latte of the month was fragrant and beautifully presented. Verdict I'll be back! read more

This place is sooo cute but parking is so stressful! Like I didn't come from midtown atl to Marietta to get stressed out by parking?? There are only like 15-20 spots for Sessions and the neighboring businesses to share and it was BUSY on a Saturday around noon. I ended up parking at a public park a couple blocks away and walking over. Once inside, the vibe is so cozy. I love the mismatched vintage furniture that is actually comfortable! Lots of armchairs and plush couches. There are a few smaller tables, a bar area, and a long communal table as well. You order via QR code on the tables off your phone and they will bring you the items. I got the Turkish eggs and the iced French B latte and it was perfect. The prices were reasonable and it was around $20 for my order. My friend got the tiramisu latte and really enjoyed it. It's the perfect place to catch up with a friend! I recommend coming on a weekday when it is less busy. read more

Wonderful Brasserie with delicious breakfast and lunch options and coffee drinks. Be sure to check out the daily baked goods.

One of the best coffee shops in Marietta. Come, relax or work and stay. You won't regret it. The only difficulty is finding a parking spot--it's always busy. read more

Very trendy space with good drinks. I'm almost not sure how a cafe affords a place like this; it's got a huge indoor area with fancy chairs, tables, and decor, and also a big outdoor area with a patio and a large yard. Anyways, I was impressed. I got the French B* and it was a really good latte. I loved that they gave the option to make it half-caf, I'd never seen that modification on an online order placement before. I tried my husband's raspberry hibiscus tea and it was also very pleasant. read more

Great coffee and excellent service every visit. The space is super open and comfortable, which makes it easy to hang out for a while without feeling crowded. The staff is always friendly, the drinks come out quickly, and everything feels warm and welcoming. You can tell they care about the customer experience. Definitely one of my go-to coffee spots. read more

Their new location is amazing! It is so beautiful and a cozy atmosphere. It's a great place to grab breakfast or lunch, as well as drinks later in the day! It's also a great place to work remotely. Their food and drinks are so yummy. Definitely go if you haven't yet! read more

Such a cute family friendly spot So far I've gotten work done there, met up with a few girlfriends and had a playdate with 5 kids. Each time was great. Wish they had more vegan options. Please consider getting the vegan pastries from flour + time since they went back to whole sale again. read more

I wish I could love this place like everyone else, but both times I've gone, I would say it's just okay coffee wise. Aesthetically though, the place is super cute and welcoming. Very busy on the weekend, so be prepared. I have yet to try the food, but my friend ordered a quiche and enjoyed it. I wouldn't mind coming back, but I wouldn't say I would go out of my way to. read more

Came here for coffee and pastries over the holidays - such a cute place! They had corn hole outside and were decorated so nicely for the holidays. My chai latte was super tasty and the brownie we got was really delicious (and gluten free). We definitely plan to come here again. The service was nice and friendly, seems you can order from inside or outside. There looked to be a bar but it wasn't open when we went in the middle of the day. We will definitely come again. Good for hanging out for a little bit or meeting a friend. read more

The place is roomy and beautiful and the drinks/Coffees are great but skip the lunch it's overpriced and bland especially the soups.

The cutest gem in all of Marietta! The new sessions is located across the street from the old walk up sessions. Parking can get tricky on the weekend, but you can park further down the street and easily walk over! We sat at the bar and ordered brunch and cocktails - we had the SWEETEST waitress/Bartender! She gave great recommendations. We had a Buscuit and the Waffle - you could tell that all of the bread was made in house. Cannot wait for it to warm up outside so that we can bring our doggies! read more

It's a nice shop to get coffee and other assorted drinks. It is quiet with peaceful music in the background. Sessions have both indoor and outdoor seating as well as take-out. There is a playground in front to let your kids burn some energy while you relax. There is table service as well when you order through the link. Stop by the Sessions Stand the next time you want to get out of the house. read more

I've frequented Sessions Stand for about a year and a half now, and I visit nearly every week. I was a customer when they were at the fork in the road in their quaint walk-up counter stand. I enjoyed the charming nature of the counter bakery and the versatility in their menu. Since they've expanded into the larger space (directly across the street from the old location). The charm is still there but it's different. I miss the seasonal toasts and Wednesday Sandwiches. Unfortunately, they've not been able to keep this consistent in the new bakery. However, the new bakery has rolled out many amazing new menu items that weren't available at the smaller space so there's give and take. The new space is absolutely gorgeous! It's very lovely with inspiration from French designs. The ordering is contactless via the QR Code on the table. The space is partially a shared workspace table or individual cafe tables, social setting at the couches, bar seating, and al fresco style along the front and side of the building. If you want full access to the menu you'll have to dine-in. I love how family-oriented the cafe is, you will often see children's playdates and mommy meetups at the green space. That said, the sooner you can arrive the better to beat the crowd of tots, lack of parking, and so they're not sold out which happens around lunchtime. It's been a pleasure eating here, they're pretty consistent and the staff that I previously knew at the old stand are very gracious and welcoming! I've not had to pleasure to officially meet the owner. She seems too focused to speak and float around the room to check on customers. Ownership is less personable than the customer facing staff, although they're normally onsite. Nonetheless, they're going in the right direction with the business. Hopefully, they'll add cold foam to the menu because my iced lattes aren't the same without it. I look forward to my morning visits which are practically every morning. Sessions Stand easily tops in a list of best bakeries ITP and OTP. Add them to your bucket list! read more

Tiny footprint neighborhood coffee shop in a residential area. This review is based on my first visit for epi. ++. Ambiance is cutesy, tiny unexpected coffee shop in a quiet residential neighborhood. It's literally a tiny triangle in the intersection of 3 streets. Several outdoor 2-3 person cafe tables. No inside seating. =. Food seems to be limited pastries and coffees. I drove up for their sourdough epi. Apparently they bake it every day. While epi looked nice, it was dense, not light nor fragrant and low on sourdough taste. So this was a miss. =. Price was average ~$4.51 for about an 18" epi. Since the bread was a miss, no value. Credit Cards accepted. +. Service was prompt and easy - Parking is free but very limited...2 cars. No street parking available. There's a park with some parking about 5-10 minute walk. Overall, Sessions Stand is a charming little coffee shop for this Marietta neighborhood / if you are in a walking distance. But their sourdough epi miss and extreme lack of parking won't be beckoning me back anytime soon. MY RATINGS - - - Inhumane - - Disgusted - Don't bother = Missed the Mark + Good ++ Better +++EDIBLE...WHERE have you been all my LiFe! read more

This is my new FAVORITE coffee spot! Found this gem of a place hidden in a neighborhood near the Marietta Square on a whim. So glad to stumble upon it!! There is a cute take out window for orders on the go. Walk inside the double glass doors to be whisked away to a fancy, but quaint cafe. Nice mix of chairs/tables and then a sitting area with couches and armchairs. More bistro tables and chairs outside. Lots of coffee and tea offerings. I branched out and ordered a brown butter rosemary Au lait. I was pleasantly surprised of the subtle but comforting flavor. The menu had pastries and other savory offerings. Inside was a chic bar as well as a water station. They had some merch for sale, fresh breads and even lovely flowers bouquets in mason jars! Tons of kids running around playing in the green play area outside, as well as a cool adult hang out. I will definitely be back soon!! read more
