We were in Ybor for a few hours before a concert and stopped at the outdoor bar to enjoy the sunshine and a few beers. We chose "reef beer" on tap and absolutely loved it. The server recommended the bread with beer cheese and was so happy as did! Sooo good! We will definitely hang out for lunch or dinner next time, excellent service! (We did go inside to use the restrooms and noticed a horrible sewer smell inside the restaurant. Was not sure if it was an issue just that day or usual, but we would have definitely not stayed if we had to sit inside.)
We love tbb 122! We've gone for Easter brunch, Mother's Day brunch, dinner multiple times, we've grabbed coffee and pastries from the bar and just had brunch again today. Every time the food is phenomenal- it's fresh, well sourced, paired perfectly and always looks and tastes amazing. The service is good as well- it feels genuine and thoughtful, and something that's been improved upon as we've continually eaten here. The decor and staging is beautiful inside and it's a treat for the eyes every time. We do wish the water was filtered- that would make everything perfect! We've always been impressed and tbb lives up to our expectations every time! It's definitely worth the visit.
Came here for breakfast, and luckily we got here before 10 AM on a Sunday! It filled up pretty fast, and parking is limited so keep that in mind. We got seated quickly, but service was a little iffy. It was a bit slow here and there, and kind of all over the place. I ordered the TBB Breakfast, which was delicious -- loved the potatoes. The pastries my friends got looked amazing, and tasted wonderful as well! However, be aware that if you order an iced coffee, it is an iced AMERICANO. We were not aware of this until it came out and the waitress told us, so keep that in mind if you expected a drip coffee or something of the like. Overall, a decent experience. Love the aesthetic and the ambiance of the place, as well as the scrumptious food (and amazing pastries), but could do better on service.
I went for brunch on a Sunday and the wait was about 15min for 4 people. The staff was really nice and attentive. I fit the steak and eggs and the steak was so small. The menu didn't specify an ounce. I also asked for medium well but it was definitely well done but I didn't complain since I was already hungry. I wish the potatoes were softer. The pressed pork sandwich was a good portion and worth the price. Very savory. If I come bank I'd come for their bakery. The cupcake was dark chocolate, moist, and rich. The frosting I liked, it wasn't too sweet. The basque chocolate cheesecake was also really good, not too sweet.
I've only been to this place for brunch until tonight and the dinner was phenomenal! The soup of the day had so much flavor and may have been my favorite! The mains were also wonderful - the wild boar and the short rib were both sooo tender and delicious. The potato's and carrots with the short rib were such a nice pairing, and the polenta with the boar was unique and delicious as well. Don't miss out on this place for dinner, because they do it just as well as they do their brunch! The vibes were great here and the staff, especially Paul, were very friendly! Bonus points for using no seed oils anywhere on the menu. Spectacular!
Highly recommend this beautiful cafe. Came for a breakfast, best avocado toast I've had in a long time - generous avocado topping , had it on their rye bread made in house. Service was a little slower for how empty it was but I believe the staff was new and that was 100% ok. They were so friendly and were constantly smiling I will be back to try more of those beautiful pastries. We were told their syrup was made in house, being a pumpkin spice lover - they got the two thumbs up from me
We visited TBB second time. Their food has so much flavor going on and it's extremely good. This place is always packed. We tried their tuna sandwich, Georgia mixed mushroom toast and cream creamy tomato soup. We also tried their freshly squeezed, orange juice, their drip coffee, and their seasonal maple cappuccino. We loved everything and the flavors are top-notch. You can tell that everything is so fresh even their hot sauce is made in house. I would recommend this place to everyone if you love good flavors and good ambience then you should definitely try this place. Our total bill was $68 which is worth it because all the ingredients they use in their food are so fresh.
Visited TBB 122 back in December. I was in the mood for coffee and sweet treats and TBB 122 popped up on Yelp. Like most Yelpers have said, the restaurant is aesthetically pleasing; both the exterior and interior. The space is warm and inviting. I'm not a fan of the layout. Not super familiar with the area, we entered through the main entrance, which is the entrance for the restaurant. You have to walk through the dining room in order to get to the coffee and pastry counter for to-go orders. Once we got to the counter, I then saw the separate entrance for the to-go counter. The restaurant was packed at the time of our visit so having to walk through a very busy dining room was not ideal. Once we got to the counter, everything was fine. We were greeted right away and the barista behind the counter was pleasant and happily answered all of my questions. I ordered my go-to, an oat milk latte with honey and cinnamon powder, one of their giant meringues (caramel, I believe), and a matcha pastry. The latte was solid and the pastries were delicious. I am a sucker for meringues so I was super excited to see giant ones on display. I would love to dine in next time I'm in town!
I'm a very patient person. My wife really liked this place when she went with another group last year. She has been trying to get me to go with her for some time. She has a gluten allergy and they have some great options from what I can tell. I'll never know. When we arrived, the front door area was crowded. A good sign as the place seemed popular. The host up front, he resembled Ed Kemper, asked if we had a reservation. We did not. No big deal, we were told to wait to the side which we did. A group of five came in after us with a reservation, they were sat. Makes sense. The host tried to offer us the bar to which we declined as my wife wanted a table. He dismissed her when she said this to which I repeated it and received a blank stare. He disappeared from the front for a moment. We peered around the corner and he was just sitting on a bench chatting it up with a person on a laptop. I assume a manager but could be a guest. Hard to tell but another server had done the same thing just earlier. Not a lot of urgency with the staff. Fast forward a few minutes. Two women and a baby came in after us and were standing behind us. The host asked another staff member to seat the two women. The other employee clarified if he meant them or us to which he confirmed the two women. I asked him if they had a reservation to which he had responded saying they did. These women had not even said a word to him when they arrived nor had he acknowledged. At this point, after the dismissive reactions and blatantly skipping us in the queue, we decided to leave. I had full intention to send this feedback. Then I checked the existing feedback on google. It's no wonder they're sitting at a 4/5 when 5+ reviews in the last month alone citing rude, unresponsive or terrible service from the staff here. On top of that, not one single acknowledgment from anyone associated with the business on any feedback. Sorry for the cliche but when you start exhibiting symptoms of being sick, the first response should be remedy the symptoms. One complaining guest (myself included), sure it's a one off. When MANY people are saying the same thing, maybe there is something there. This restaurant seems to prefer hiding poor service behind their almost cult like all tan uniforms, cute pastries, and pretentious attitudes. If there was any care to improve, maybe talk to your patrons. The lack of accountability, ownership, and no desire to be better is abysmal.
Service was really good, our server was polite and very knowledgeable. Food was great, I got the vegetarian quiche of the day and seasonal fall iced drink, which I forgot what it is called. So many options to choose from that I have to go back to enjoy more of this place. I didn't have space to try the pastries and other baked goods since it was so fulfilling.
I've been at TBB around dozen times. The best part of this place is that they don't use seed oils and other additives, plus food is farm to table. Taste wise is 8/10. Prices definitely on the higher side and the adds on some of them are ridiculous high. But you'll never be disappointed in their pastry selection and taste. Always solid choice. Drinks are on and off on taste. Service though usually friendly BUT always slow, always! Food takes a while to arrive so come here when you're not in rush. We had 6 people over brunch once and food was beyond slow and we got really upset. I would say it's a good spot to grab coffee and pastries. Ambiance very pleasant, California vibes. Parking can be challenging.
Just a casual cafe / brunch / lunch type vibes. Very aesthetically pleasing atmosphere. Service is a bit slow but it's fine they were nice. I got the avocado toast and added an egg. My friend got the granola bowl which visually looks sad because the fruits are only apples but she said it was really good still. The side of fruits was also mainly apples too.. Overall everything was good especially the matcha latte!
I saw a basket of mixed reviews on this place and wanted to give it a try, attracted by the aesthetic food pictures. I must admit, the place is beautiful. However, I was forgotten at the front desk for a good ten minutes before someone remembered me. I was then seated at a corner of the bar and had try so hard to get a server's attention. The food came quickly. Nothing special, not too much taste. No utensils were provided until I asked two separate workers. If you want to try this place out, definitely make an appointment beforehand and be prepared to be patient! read more

I made a reservation for Saturday morning to meet up with a friend from out of town who was here for a wedding! This restaurant got high praise from someone I know so I was so excited to try it and show her yummy Georgian breakfast places! Though I made a reservation, it was a packed house so we were told we still have to wait! It wasn't that long! So we were seated and greeted by our kind server. She took our drink orders and then we waited. We ordered our food and we still didn't have our drinks. I got tea but my bf when he finally got his hot coffee he couldn't drink it bc it was served to him in a water glass and he almost burnt his hand. The food took about another 45 ish minutes which at that point we were starving. I ordered the mushroom toast with egg and my egg was super cold and rubbery by the time it got to me. Juxtapose to my friend and my partners meal, their side of potatoes were burnt to a crisp. I will say the bread was good that my mushroom toast consisted of. Maybe it was an off day but I was so sad we had to go eat somewhere else soon after too and this was pretty pricey to be such small quantity etc read more

This place is adorable. I had no idea it was as big as it was! I thought it was just a coffee shop but they also have a huge dining area and large back patio where they serve full meals and full bar for amazing cocktails too. The service for our visit was great, we were only here for a quick drink. read more

The location and decor are great. The matcha cake is good. However, the staff is unfriendly, the food is expensive, and the quality is poor. The steak and eggs used to be pretty good, but they changed the cuts of meat or something because it is inedible now. Tough, dry, and burned. They don't really season anything and staff is inattentive when you try to request salt/pepper. Parking is a gravel lot behind the building and it's often challenging to find a spot because it's full of people going to Pure Tacos next door. I had them re-make my steak when it was burned the first time. They brought a new one out that was slightly less burned but still burned, tasting of char. I couldn't eat it. They still charged me. Fine. But I won't be back because when I pay for a meal I prefer it to be edible. read more

Updating the review in 2024. Having come for both breakfast and lunch a few times, we've found that the food is consistently good but the speed of service lags, and the entryway is a mass of confusion. Unfortunately, someone thought that putting the host stand and the checkout for pastries in the same small square footage was a good idea. In our experience, people mill about in a roughly 8x8 space and confusion reigns. Host/hostess isn't sure who's just come in or next to be seated and trying to get to where you can view the baked goods to make a purchase is very difficult. Today we popped in to buy some pastries. Fought our way to the pastry counter and stood for 10 minutes. In those 10 minutes, not a single associate spoke to us. No greeting. No "Be right with you". No "sorry for the wait" Disappointing. read more

We love TBB122 so much. Ms. Kathy & Bobby are truly remarkable! From the stunning decor, family like customer service, and delicious food, pastries and drinks, this is our favorite place to visit in Alpharetta! Our favs would be the Soft Scramble Bowl, buckwheat blueberry banana bread; the infamous blueberry oat muffin ( my son's favorite ) hamachi Crudo, melon & beets salad. The list goes on and on! We love y'all! read more

Coming in with the high notes first, the oatmeal/chocolate chip cookies available are fantastic and really hit the spot. I have no doubt that as a cafe (think coffee & pastries solely) this place checks the necessary boxes. From the brunch/breakfast standpoint, I feel that there's a bit of room for improvement. While the interior is a nice place to be, and the fresh pressed "simple green" juice was alright, the breakfast itself left me longing for a bit more seasoning. It's super fresh! But if coming in, stomach first, for something super flavorful, this won't hit the spot for you. Also, even though far from peak capacity, service was slow. read more

Food: AMAZING. Everything we had was delicious and fresh. The pasties and homemade bread were outstanding as well. We had the TBB Breakfast with Sourdough and the Soft Scramble Bowl, 2 coffees and the Green Juice Bloody Mary. To take home, we got a loaf of the lemon rosemary sourdough (which they sliced for me) a morning bun and a sunrise muffin. Had the bun this afternoon and some of the sourdough at home for dinner and it's probably the best sourdough I've ever had. Service: it was SLAMMED, so they fit us in at the bar top. We had amazing service, very attentive and our food came out very quick. Ambiance: very bubbly, busy, it's definitely a hot spot. I would say, if you want a slower, chill breakfast, you should go during the week as the weekends are packed. Also- they allow for reservations- so if you want to try it out I would def book a reservation. Parking: not a lot of parking. We parked on the street and walked a bit but it was fine. Value: priced amazingly well for the amount of food and quality. I can wait to go back for another meal, as well as grab more bread and pastries. read more

This place is definitely a gem. If you're in the Alpharetta area, do not miss this spot! If I could give half stars, I would say 4.5/5. Employees- so sweet and friendly to walk you through their menu and recommendations. Our server was a trainee, but I hope they hired her because she was well-versed in the culture and notion that TBB 122 was selling. Ambiance- if you can't tell from the pictures, this place is the epitome of a homey, but aesthetic living room brunch experience. I wouldn't be mad if this is what my house looked like! Food- this is the one thing that made me hesitate on 5 stars. Good food. That's about all I have to say. Nothing was bad, but nothing was mind blowing. They are all for the farm to table vibes, which I completely understand, but it's unfortunate I paid $20 for some eggs and veggies! Their coffee and sweet treats would definitely bring me back though! read more

Absolutely adorable cozy place for lunch! We began on patio but were swiftly set up inside due to a rainstorm.. the ambiance perfect & great service by Aaron. We had drinks: lager beer, rose' wine & the most smoothest crafted boulevardier I've ever had. I had the mezze plate and it was amazing: fresh olives, hummus, perfect sourdough bread, crunchy broccoli.. my friend had a very fresh tasting pulled pork sandwich which she really enjoyed, but had to take the other half home. And my other friend devoured hers so fast leaving the plate clean, obvi she enjoyed whatever sandwich it was! lol we meandered to the pastry area: lavender shortbread cookie, a tiny lucious fennel cake.. sooo delicious plus they serve Valor Coffee which is a fresh local brew! I'll def be here again soon! read more

We came here Saturday morning with a 9:30 reservation and had a wonderful experience with the beautiful ambience, selection of gourmet pastries, cocktails, and savory brunch menu. Things you should know: I. PARKING There's a free private parking lot behind the restaurant. We had no issues finding a space, considering how early we arrived; however, as the morning progressed we saw all the spaces were filled as we were leaving. II. SERVICE Our waitress was a sweetheart. She was attentive and timely. She even asked the kitchen to make a cocktail that wasn't on the menu for me..! Hopefully TBB122 will add an espresso martini to their menu because it was phenomenal! III. QUALITY Although a lot of people will comment that the food here is "pricey," it's worth it. You're paying for the esthetic and cozy environment to make memories with loved ones. Highly recommend the Georgia Mushroom Toast, btw. Perfect balance of flavor and TEXTURE. IV. CAPACITY Slow morning at 9:30, with various options of seating available for our reservation. However, it soon started to fill up here. I say, make a reservation and the sooner the better. read more

Long story short: Food is super unseasoned and dry - no sauces come with the dish for my fellow sauce girlies but i did ask for salsa verde on the side. Pretty place but uncomfortable seating. Staff is very unfriendly and not accessible. Long story long - Staff: My friend and I decided to come in on a Saturday morning, not knowing we needed a reservation. After asking the hostess how long it would take to get a table at the bar she said around 55 mins to an hour. No problem honestly, since my friend hadn't arrived yet. However after she arrive, we continued waiting well past an hour. The hostest (same one that wrote my name down) came up us and asked "hi guys so what exactly are we waiting around for, is it a table or the bar or??" I let her know we've been waiting for a seat at the bar to open up for us. Another 20 mins go by and we finally get a seat at the bar. Overall, during our meal the waitress was only present in the beginning to take the orders and then I never saw her again until she just slid the combined receipt down, silently letting us know to get up - even though we had only be there for maybe 40-45 mins at this point. She didn't ever come to ask how our food was, if we needed anything, if we wanted another drink, etc. Service was very disappointing. Food: Not a huge selection when it comes to wanting a savory brunch dish, honestly. My friend and i both went with the tbb122 breakfast plate and i asked for a side of some kind of sauce since i figured things weren't seasoned and thank goodness i asked ahead of time. If it weren't for the salsa verde on the side, it would truly be so bland. Very underwhelming when it comes to seasoning, plus didn't look like they had any hot sauce (which my friend wanted to ask for, but no one was around for us to ask). Bakery: I was excited to take home some pastries because above anything else, I had high hopes for them because they looked and smelled delicious. From the picture that I posted, i decided to get the cake that was labeled near seasonal galette and that's exactly what I asked for. Honestly, half my fault because i don't know what a galette is :) and when i got home and opened my box, it was obviously not the cake that i had mentioned beforehand. Some of the things weren't clearly labeled or labeled at all so be careful when ordering. Otherwise, I also purchased the morning bun and warmed it up when I got home. That was the only thing that was super delicious and would purchase again but i'm sure i can find it at another bakery closer to me. In the end, the seats are uncomfortable, food is mediocre, and the staff is just not that friendly/accessible. The interior is super beautiful and so aesthetic, but it doesn't justify the above so most likely will not be back. I think the place would do better as just a cafe with better staff. read more

The atmosphere is amazing, but wow is this food overpriced for what it is! This avocado toast entree (see picture) was $14 and this French toast entree was $12 (it's only 1 piece of bread). Don't come to this place hungry. How can you even call that an entree. Weak food but pretty place. No where to park though. They absolutely will not do any substitutions , if you are allergic to a side on an entrée, That's bad customer service if you ask me. read more

It's a beautiful restaurant. The staff is super friendly. The menu looks incredible...and that is where it gets off track. The food looks incredible and lacked one consistent ingredient for every item ordered...salt. Things we ordered: Cannellini beans and sausage with toast French toast Mushroom toast Crispy potatoes Quiche Shakshuka Banana bread Smoothie bowl The shakshuka came out last and the egg was cooked through dry. We sent it back. Never got the quiche...had to go back in after we left to have it removed. Crispy potatoes - unseasoned Mushroom toast - unseasoned Beans and sausage - unseasoned The French toast was good. The smoothie bowl was thin and funky...not in a good way. Banana bread tasted like health food. It was fine. The experience was quite a letdown. It could have been an off morning (Saturday brunch) but when you are $150 deep on a boutique brunch...probably not getting a second shot. Expectations were high and quickly sent back to earth. Hope others experiences are better than mine. read more

TBB is still one of the most modern breakfast spots in downtown Alpharetta. We walked in on a Sunday morning and had to wait around 20 minutes for a seat at the bar. It was so busy that the tables were res only- so it's definitely become popular. The menu is very Californian/farm to table/Mediterranean- which I love- and the front bakery and valor coffee counter is a special differentiator. After trying their food a few times now, I would recommend TBB for their pastries, breads, and drinks- but their food is just decent. The blue smoothie base was a watery banana puree and the mezze platter was only half edible. The whipped feta and labneh were fine, but the baba ganoush was completely inedible- and I'm an eggplant lover. I also would have appreciated more variety in their crudites. Lastly, just a pet peeve- I asked for a side of butter which I was charged for. Really, a pat of butter? I will end this review on a positive note....which is their buttered, grilled sourdough. Divine! read more

Is this cafe study/work friendly, or is it more of just a dine-in experience? :)
Hi Jane, It's a restaurant, not a coffee house, so I doubt they would appreciate the work space…
