    The works.

    On the recommendation of a running bud, I came here to try their Apple Fritters, and also ordered a BLT sandwich. Not much to speak of from the interior, but the service by two Vietnamese mom and pops was splendid. The apple fritter was definitely caked in glazing and a fried on the darker side of the burn spectrum. Also got some cinnamon donuts and they were also good. The BLT on wheat hit the spot. Good experience!

    Came a little later in the day and so many flavors were sold out already. That's when you know it's goood! The service was so friendly and nice. I got the blueberry filled, twist and the chocolate frosted. These donuts were so good and fresh! The twist was the perfect bite! It was so soft and not super dense. The blueberry frosted was definitely my favorite! The blueberry frosting was so fresh and has lots of blueberries inside and it was not too sweet. There was so much filling too. The chocolate frosted was really good as well. Definitely will be back to try the other flavors. A must visit to this mom and pop shop! Will want to try the subs as well.

    With the additional three dollars for some munchkins that were mostly air the total bill here was $20

    I'm sorry, I will not be returning. The donuts are old and are dried out. I was really looking forward to the cinnamon twist for my wife cause that was her favorite but When I looked at it, it was half the size of what it used to be. I am looking for the owners. They are not there. I'm asking. Do these people even have a business license and a health license that is current because the the aftertaste of old grease in the blueberry donut and the others as well should not be there it tastes rancid. I finally got out of the lady behind the counter that the owners sold the business five months ago to her and the other young lady and it looks like they did not speak much of any English, besides the fact that this is not an even exchange of money for food.

    Mom and pop donuts and famous apple fritters. The food lived up to its recommendation. We were happy to try a new place a little out of the way. We will stop here again. The sub sandwiches are pretty good too.

    I was in the area and wanted to try something that I could not try on my side of town. After a little research I opted for something that I would not ordinarily go for. What I mean by that is that it was clear that this place is no frills. I walked in and there was only one patron in the shop on a Friday afternoon. Given the great reviews I really anticipated a larger crowd. As I noted above, this place is no frills. It honestly appears that the owners may occasionally live out of the place. It's filled with what I would call house plants. I even saw what I imagine is their mode of transportation to work every day- bikes! I wanted to try a sub and donuts. I figured it would not be a place I would be back to anytime soon given it's proximity to my side of town. I ordered a sub and two donuts. The sun was decent. Nothing to write home about. The donuts- I did not care for. They honestly tasted stale and just not good. If I were in the area and need a basic meal I guess I would come in for a sub. I do feel like I am being generous with my average rating.

    I just saw a post from someone from 3 hours ago that gave this gem a negative review. They mentioned the donuts being dry and not fresh! I am so confused because I purchased a dozen of the best donuts an hour ago. This place has always been consistently amazing and fresh. The donuts don't stick around long enough to be stale. I thank the ladies who are working so hard to deliver an amazing treat. Great way to start my Saturday!

    The 5 stars are for the donuts. The subs are fine. Go early so you have a lot of donuts to pick from! They don't take American Express. My favorite donuts: Butter Milk, Blueberry Cake, Apple Cinnamon (with apple pie-like filling), Sour Cream, Honey Dip, Solid Chocolate. As far as their subs, they don't have very many toppings. They have: lettuce, tomato, and onion. They have mayonnaise, mustard, and Italian dressing. They have a variety of meat. I only had turkey, but it was really good. A 7-inch turkey sub is $5.19. Not bad! I'll definitely keep going back for the donuts!

    I went here around 12:39 and got the turkey sandwich. I wanted to get a donut, but unfortunately there weren't many lady. I don't know if they're just that good and sold by that time or if that was all that was made. *the turkey sandwich had all the great stuff in in (lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard) but it was very dry. They do add little mustard and mayo and I asked for more but they don't do packets.. maybe I should have asked for it in a container, but I didn't think that far ahead, so when it was eating it, I didn't enjoy it because of how dry it was. But the produce itself was really good! I dont know if I'd go back. COVID friendly for those who are still wearing masks.

    Separate counters for donuts and subs ($7 and change for a combo). They prefer cash, $0.50 upcharge for cards.

    I haven't come back for the subs, but will. So, in the name of science, I ate three donuts in my first sitting at this little shop, out of the half dozen (and a very regular coffee) I bought. Bavarian Cream - a good example, fairly standard, maybe the bread-y part was a bit sweeter than usual. Kind of King's Hawaiian level. The cream was rich, not overpowering. Solid. A few notches above what you'd get at Dunkin, but not terribly memorable. Sour Cream - I actually like when a sour cream donut is a bit more dense than this one, which crumbled a bit, and didn't hold together. It was uncomplicated, good, not great. Cream Cheese - now *this* changed my opinion entirely, at least in terms of my assessment of the place as a whole from a nice local spot to somewhere worthy of a drive. The bread/cake portion had great consistency and the filling had a wonderful consistency and a rich filling that had perfect mouth feel and a complex, but appropriately sweet, taste. The cream cheese donut alone justifies a decent drive to check this place out. Other people ordered Honey Dip donuts, which seem to be glazed - I have one in the half dozen box, but my daughter will probably eat it when I get home. Apple Fritters, etc. I'm sure are all good, but if there are more things on the level of the cream cheese donut, this is a real hidden gem. As noted, I'll come back for the subs, another time. I saw a steady, but not overwhelming, stream of customers on this overcast/drizzly Saturday. [update:] I came again to buy another half dozen for someone who I forgot was gluten intolerant - so I got to eat most of these yet again. In this case, I showed up late-ish, for donuts, 11 AM, and most of the options were gone. As a result, I tried 3 new kinds. I had the chocolate covered sour cream, which actually turned out to be an excellent version of a sour cream donut, so I think the one from the prior day was the exception rather than the rule. There was the solid chocolate, which had a nice sugar crusted outer layer and a tasty inside, but I will say it wasn't as chocolatey as I expected. More like a red velvet cake. I had the plain donut, as well. This can be the real test of a bakery, because there's nothing beyond the baking itself, and this was probably the best I've had - though I don't often go for them, to be honest. Also, and I'm not sure of the name, there's another pastry that was in there, which was very good. Hard to go wrong here. Still haven't had the subs. My daughter didn't save me a bite of the honey glazed even though I asked her to. [second update:] I have had the honey dip at this point, and it was good. Not hot glazed Krispy Kreme level, but very good for a non-hot glazed. I also managed to try a Philly cheesesteak sub, which was decent but not special. I'm not changing my rating, because the donuts are that good, but that's the attraction, here.

Plenty of free parking in and around the restaurant. The Mad Italian first opened in Atlanta way back in 1973 and they have been going strong in Chamblee, GA ever since 1981. Their original location in Chamblee closed within the past ten years or so and they have a pretty much brand new spot literally about two doors down on Savoy Drive. Fantastic, modern restaurant facility. Unbeatable location. Top notch service. Friendly ambience that feels like home. Excellent service. And the best food you can get for the price.

This place gets busy and the parking lot does not accommodate that reality at all. It's at a very busy intersection with oddly placed entrances. But patrons make it work, and the quality keeps people coming regardless of how crazy the parking gets. I learned recently that Henri's is quite an Atlanta institution, and has been around for a loooong time. But I understand why. The service is great, regardless of location. The baristas actually like to talk to you even during the morning hustle. They are well-staffed and you can tell their employees like working there. Sharon is awesome, and the guy who mans the sandwich station is REALLY good at his job. The inside is kept clean, and it's a really calming environment for a coffee shop. Whoever designed their cafes did a great job, as the theme is consistent in their sister locations. I really have no complaints about the food. The meat is fresh. The bread is fresh. They make many of their bakery items at an HQ and locally distribute them to their sister locations. The pastry section is well-appointed and the display makes them very tempting. The Reuben with pastrami is *CHEF'S KISS*. Just make sure you get it on a more durable bread, because the sauce can get a little messy and make the sandwich soggy. I'm sad to report that they do not serve matcha here yet. But the chai latte and standard latte was delicious with a nice, thick layer of foam on top. They even have sugar-free syrup options for people looking to curb the sugar. They do have high-chairs for the babies. Love this place. They just do it right.

While the bagel was tasty, the inside of the sandwich was not. Limp, soggy bacon. Cheap, McDonald's style egg patty. This sandwich should be $6 at most.

But next time I'd just get the bagel by itself and skip paying more for what felt like not-so-great ingredients. I also got a chai latte with oat milk. Well made, but surely nothing spectacular. Holy cow... $6+ for that, too. Oat milk is an extra $.70. I don't know whether to be disgruntled with the owner or the local/federal taxes that has places charging like this LOL. It honestly just feels excessive, especially for the area it's in (love you Chamblee but I love you especially because you're affordable and not built around pretentiousness).
