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

Sessions Stand - 6/22 sourdough epi - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

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

Love love Sessions Stand! Amazing, relaxing ambiance. Tasty food and coffee. Great spot to meet at to catch up with your friends!

It's been a while since I visited Sessions stand and they moved across the street to a larger building. You can still wait in line at the window for grab and go, or you can sit inside on velvet couches and chairs, tables, or on the patio. They even have a dog park and "sparkly lights," as my wife calls them! I had a cheese toast on some incredible thick cut sourdough and an amazing flat white. read more

Sessions Stand leveled up from quaint neighborhood coffee shop to show stopping neighborhood bistro! Charm has always exuded from this small business....and when I say small, I mean small. They used to occupy a teeny tiny building across from their new current location. You'd walk up to the window, place your order and sit in one of the handful of bistro tables on their small deck. Now, you can still order from the window and sit on the deck (which overlooks a green space where kids were running free, playing and enjoying the outdoors), OR you can go inside through the most beautiful pink doors and into a breathtaking space that transports you to a European cafe. The space is stunning and HUGE - event worthy that's for sure! It oozes charm and character with the original wood floors and exposed wood ceiling. You are greeted with a variety of seating options - lush emerald green sofas perfectly placed to encourage conversation, large tables to share with a large group or just sit with your laptop, and cute bistro tables cozy for two. The menu has certainly expanded a bit in their new larger space too. They have more breakfast options served until 11am, as well as a lunch menu consisting mostly of sandwiches. They offer an array of coffee and tea blends perfect for any mood. If you order your coffee from the window it comes in an adorable to-go cup which matches the wallpaper inside...oh the details...inside you're served on china with gold utensils...again, unique details that set them apart! Ordering inside is easy....choose your seat, scan the QR code, browse the menu and place your order...they find you based on your table number. You can choose to close your order or leave your tab open if you plan to sit a while. Being able to offer an interior space isn't the only thing that expanded with this move - now they have an entire parking lot too which is great news since it certainly posed a challenge at their previous location. I have already been twice since their grand opening and can't wait until my next visit! Ordered a lavender honey latte to go the first time around (the interior space wasn't open yet) and a cappuccino with avocado toast during my most recent visit. My cappuccino tasted a little burnt but plan on ordering a regular latte next time. Stop in, sit a while and enjoy! read more

Presentation of the food and beverages is whimsical and very pleasing to the eye. The interior gives you a French patisserie vibe with plenty of tables to dine in and use your laptop to surf the net. Cashless payments only. Great atmosphere! The kids can swing outside. read more

Super cute coffee shop! We ordered iced drinks on a warm afternoon and they were super tasty. We also ordered the cheese toast. It's sourdough bread covered in pimento cheese and bacon jam. It's warmed in the oven so the cheese is super melty. Topped with a few greens and it's a great tasting snack. The service was polite, helpful and patient as we navigated the menu as first timers. We will return! read more

My work bestie and I came here for a spontaneous lunch, and I'm so glad that we did! We made it tapas style, and each ordered a few things to share: -Chicken salad was delicious, and I can imagine the version with the croissant is even better! -Asparagus frittata was tasty and warm! -Avocado toast was good, the feta added a slight tang which was good. It could have used a little more seasoning, but it was pretty good. -Maple pecan latte- AMAZING!! I finished it super quickly. I should have gotten a large, but now I know for next time. -Power balls were ok-a little pricey for just 3 balls. We sat outside on the patio/porch and it was so gorgeous. The street was so serene and scenic, and it was wonderful to sit outside. The service is super friendly, and the prices are very affordable. I'll be back! read more

This place is not first timer friendly. It's very confusing. I didn't know where to go so I walked up to the counter and asked if I could order there. They said yes, took my order, then I went and found a table outside to eat at. Found out after waiting for 20 mins that ordering at the counter means to-go and ordering via QR code at a table means eating in. The drink and food were nice, I was just frustrated I didn't know what was going on and had to ask for a plate. This place could just use some signage or servers reassuring you're in the right spot. read more

I know I'm not likely saying anything new here, but I LOVE SESSIONS STAND! Such a cute little neighborhood corner spot a few yards from a public park. It's perfect for families headed to/from the park to grab an iced coffee or a nice tea. Between their yummy baked goods crafted onsite and foods shared from their sister restaurant, the Butcher the Baker, their insta-worthy patio and mural, and excellent coffee, where could you go wrong? If I had to critique this place, I wish they had a public restroom, because prior to COVID, I'd stake out and work on my computer from their picturesque patio. And it was a minor inconvenience to have to pack up completely when I had to pee. I will say there's a public restroom within Lewis Park, so it isn't terrible. I mean, y'all, I'm really TRYING to find a negative. And if I'm having to bring up their lack of a restroom, then you have to realize how legit this (not so) hidden gem is. My two favorite menu item mainstays are their cheese toast and the power bites. My two year old looove the power bites and we'll stash an order in our fridge for a day or two to keep as snacks on hand. The cheese toast has this delightful bacon jam that is truly to die for. I might have had their avocado toast on an off day, but it wasn't my favorite. Pack an appetite, gear up your insta filter, and get your coffee fix at Sessions! read more

Many will be surprised at this fun fact. I tried coffee for the VERY 1st Time in my entire life on 2/24/24. Enjoyed the experience of going to a local shop and eating a warm muffin while sipping a caramel latte. Writing my review for the awesome barista Savannah that answered all my questions and showed her genuine excitement for my first experience. Thank you for making it a great first time! read more

We absolutely love Sessions Stand! It is SO cute and well decorated, with lots of comfy seating as well as large tables for groups. It does get crowded on the weekend! The patio will be perfect when the weather is warmer. Their specialty coffees are SO good and all of their breakfast pastries and brunch foods are so good too! We can't wait to come back for happy hour drinks! read more

Super cute spot! Went here for the first time on Sunday. We came at a good time because it was not busy at all so we were able to get one out of the two parking spots were available! I can see how coming at a busy time, however, might be a little bit tricky due to the limited parking and seating. We were able to find a table in the shade. There are about three tables total on the balcony. Customers go up to the stand to order.. The employees were friendly and helpful in explaining what comes on the avocado toast! I ended up ordering the avocado toast, and it was so tasty and the bread was so light and perfect. It came with avocado, arugula, and feta cheese, which added a ton of flavor! We also ordered a cinnamon roll, which was so tasty and delicious! Even though it was dowsed in icing, it was not overly sweet. I can tell that this place uses high-quality ingredients and I really appreciated the details even on the decor. The table chairs were all blue and white and I noticed that the napkins that were tied around the fork had a string that was also blue and white. It was really cute. I really appreciate these kinds of details! It was a really great experience and I would be back! read more

This place has everything you'd want in a cafe. Lots of parking. Variety of seating with sofas, tables, and outdoor seating. The signature latte was rose+strawberry+chai and I got it half sweet with oat milk and it was perfect. The mushroom toast was delicious with the house made Boursin. The staff is super friendly. I value the convenience of the take out window as well as the QR ordering at the tables. read more

Great coffee and awesome customer service! This was my first time visiting Sessions Stand and it exceeded expectations. I ordered the maple cinnamon latte off the seasonal menu and it tasted AMAZING The only negative thing I can say is the latte needed to be a lot hotter. But other than that, I would recommend everyone check this place out if you're in the downtown Marietta area. Note: There's no indoor seating which typically is a no-go for me as I'm usually looking for a place to knock out some work for a few hours. However, there are a few tables outside on a quaint little patio that looks out to a cute local neighborhood. read more

Absolutely love this place! We were looking for a place to stop and have a quick coffee (that wasn't Starbucks). We had a cappuccino + macchiato and decided to also try the pull apart sourdough baguette. Oh my gosh, best decision ever! It was so delicious that we decided to also buy one to take home. Going back tomorrow because I need more of that bread. We ate there on the patio area. Very cute set up. Definitely recommend stopping by. They have a small menu, but it does not disappoint. read more

I love this place so much. The building exterior has designer quality and is lovely. I came in the morning and they were serving Rev Coffee and had pastries available. I had a large dark roast "Silver Comet" and a chocolate croissant that was larger than my hand. Music was playing outside which made for a great experience. I only wish there was more seating and the location was easier to get to. read more

location is cute but wow the costumer service is terrible and this has the worst matcha latte I ever had in my 23 years on this earth. They weren't bothered to mix the matcha at all and my drink was 95% melted ice. Don't wast your money. read more

If your in the mood to a delicious coffee and amazing backed goods look no further. My wife and I came to this cute location for a mid day pick me up and we are hooked. Here are my take aways: Coffee: Sessions uses Rev coffee one of my favorites in Georgia. I order the cold brew with caramel done very well. Baked goods: The Ham and cheese croissant was a delicious mix between bagel and croissant. The most unique item is the sourdough bouquet. The dough dough is beautifully basked into a flower that would be any instagramers dream. Location: Sessions is nestled in a small coffee stand right off session street. Parking is a limited but there is street parking and a yoga studio that allows parking there as well. read more

Really cute place. I don't have a ton to add that others haven't already said. We stopped in for snacks on a Saturday afternoon around 2. It wasn't very busy, so we got both parking spots in front of the restaurant. Directly across the street is a yoga studio with open parking when they aren't open. Otherwise, you'll have to park on the street. I didn't have any baked goods, but my friend got the ham and cheese croissant. It was really big and looked delicious. It was very warm and sunny, so appreciated the umbrellas on the deck. Also, they had a special menu of flavored iced teas. I had a raspberry hibiscus iced tea. I appreciated that it wasn't sweet tea. They can make it sweet for you, if you prefer. The menu isn't huge, but it's a nice to place to grab a snack when in the area. Definitely check it out. read more

The sweetest of staff, always a genuine smile. Every drink is a dream, the flavors on point and never overpowering. The cheese toast...incredible. I will always take the long way to work to make sure I can stop at Sessions. They are the best! read more

What an adorable place! Came here on Saturday morning to pick up coffee and a pastry to go. I love how it's hidden in the middle of a neighborhood and it really feels like a neighborhood coffee shop that you're supposed to walk to. Yelp informed me that there are only really 2 parking spots but I went at 7:25 am and there was an empty one. I also loved that they were open already even though they officially open at 730am. Nicest person taking my order and such cute touches of decor everywhere. I had a mocha and ordered a hazelnut latte for my friend and we had the Apple pastry (so good) and the chocolate croissant. I would come again! (Not sure how to deal with parking in the future though if I'm not picking up) read more

Great coffee, kind service, and atmosphere. This is a small place in a quiet neighborhood. They even had affogatos when I was there.

Session's Stand has to be one of my favorite hidden gems in Marietta. If you drive too fast you may miss them. I always go in early morning for a cup a coffee and sometimes a pastry. OMG, I love their pastry and I'm not a huge pastry fan, but the Strawberry, Blueberry Danish was so amazing. One of the best I ever had. The service is always great. I love the cute porch, and I love the fresh flowers that they have as well. #dishwithchris read more

I'm a sucker for an independent, cute, precious coffee shops. I found this place on Yelp while I was visiting Marietta, escaping the hurricane Michael during October 2018. I searched "coffee" via Google map, and it didn't show anything fun. Good thing I tried Yelp! (But the essential information such as hours was missing, and I had to go to their Instagram account.) Atmosphere: So freaking cute! It has a charm of a "locals only"/ neighborhood kind of place+ a bit of city chic (artisanal bakery with croissants and sourdough bread) + southern charm (white walls, cute things gallore, golden tables, flowers). It is a small container house that's slightly below ground with a pretty patio with 5-6 tables. Coffee: They use Rev coffee. I tried a cappuccino and an iced Americano. Their espresso beans are on slightly tart side. This was not a problem in the cappuccino- it had the sour note but not too much, and it provided a subtle complexity. But it was too overwhelmingly tart in the iced Americano, eslscog after the ice all melted. Chocolate croissant: Really good! So buttery and crunchy. Salt flake on top was an excellent touch. Maybe a bit too buttery, if I may say so. The bottom of the croissant was very oily, and it felt like it was almost fried, not baked. I have seen this happening before elsewhere - very yeasty dough, and very crunchy exterior..that is very messy to eat but so scrumptious! This had all of those qualities and very nice chocolate inside, but just a bit too oily at the bottom corner. Service: Good. I also got a cup of iced water at no charge (someone earlier complained they only had bottled water). Only one person taking order and making coffee, though. Price point: Fine. Chocolate croissant + cappuccino was a bit over $7. Americano was $2.90 Overall it's an amazingly cute and well run shop with great baked items. I'd definitely visit again to try their scones and lunch plates. Tips: - parking limited and street parking not possible on the sessions street. I had to park at the nearby public park parking lot. - hours can be found on their Instagram "sessionsstand" - they also sell flowers! read more
