    This was a stop after dinner where we were looking for a sweet treat. I love the concept. I did just a scoop of the bourbon brown butter. So good!!! They have an option for all you can eat cereal which I think is so cute. The place is very cute with board games you can play as you sit. I don't go to this side of town much but I definitely plan to stop by here again when I am over their way.

    **The Cereal lab: A Deliciously Whirlwind Adventure with ice cream and cereal If you're looking for a place that takes your childhood breakfast dreams and your favorite dessert and turn them into a mouthwatering reality, then look no further than The Cereal Lab! I FINALLY had the chance to go to this magical cereal & creamery haven and ordered their banana pudding ice cream with Cinnamon Toast Crunch--Let. Me. Tell. You. Something....,WINNER Now, I tried to play it cool and keep my dignity intact by sticking to just one scoop. I thought I'd elegantly savor each bite. Ha! Who was I kidding? That first scoop vanished faster than a fresh press'n curl on a hot humid sunny day! So, in a moment of sheer snack rebellion, I went back for seconds Trust me, whether you're reliving nostalgia or just swinging by for a sweet treat, The Cereal Lab is a must-visit! Go ahead and bring your appetite--just don't act too cute like I did! You'll be doing the cereal lab cha-cha slide, right back for more in no time. ‍ #thecereallab #DeliciousTreats

    The best way to end a day of shopping is with some amazing dessert. The shop was fairly empty when we arrived, but the two employees were both busy preparing orders and still acknowledged us. We asked about parking and were assured as long as we parked in the deck behind the building we would be okay as it was for customers. There are some tables for seating and a few board games on a side table. A bar is also up against the wall for seating. I used the restroom and it was super clean. The entire space was really clean. The decor was too cute 3D pieces of cereal on the wall for a photo opp. One employee explained what we needed to choose from for our order and the other actually made the orders. They worked fast and we were both happy with what we chose. I had Cookie Crisp, coco pebbles, Oreo pieces and caramel drizzle in a waffle bowl. We will be back. My order was right at $10.

    Extremely delicious shake. Should have gotten a larger size but I was on the way to dinner. Highly recommend for events and birthday parties but also if you're just stopping in. Cashier was friendly and service was great.

    Amazing service. We were so welcomed when we arrived. I didn't catch her name, but one of the employees took the time to explain everything and made some recommendations. There are so so many options. Thank god they have a few premade combinations on the menu to help. I chose the Downtown Decatur with the Bourbon ice cream. My bf chose the Captain Pebbles with strawberry ice cream shake. Absolutely delicious, but small serving size for my ice cream bowl. I will say it's quite pricey. That makes this a once in a while treat vs. regular visitor for me. It's a fun space though, and great for families, dates, or friends. Parking was slightly confusing. They don't actually validate, though signs in the attached garage say they do. I think you just get 1 hour free, but that should be plenty of time.

    Can we here for a late night ice cream run and it did not disappoint. Service was good. I will say, making our order took some time. I couldn't imagine going on a busy day. I ordered the captain pebbles shake and MAN, was it so good! 10/10. My son went with a double scoop of banging banana, which he loved too. We didn't stay around and enjoy things there, but you can, as they have games and all. You can also make your drink a boozy edition, which could definitely add to your evening plans. The one thing I will say is that is a bit on the pricey side. My small shake was 8.50 and my son's double scoop ice cream was 10.50. Worth the price, but maybe not a weekly thing.

    To be honest, the place was amazing in my opinion! We went on a Sunday and the was really long, the line was all the way outside! But it was worth the wait!

    Ok hear me out, ice cream in the winter is a vibe! The service here was top tier and I loved seeing the different options they had. Superman is my all time favorite ice cream flavor and they actually had it so shout out to cereal lab! The decorations inside are so cute and match the aesthetic perfectly. I think it's definitely worth checking out if you're a cereal or ice cream lover like myself.

    The ice cream & cereal are amazing. They rotate ice cream flavors so be prepare for change. They didn't have butter pecan today but CoKo helped me choose another flavor. Now let's talk about the customer service. CoKo was AMAZINGBALLS!!!!! She had us laughing, making our children laugh (and they are teenagers so you know how hard that is), her smile was so warm and inviting. She went above and beyond but I'm sure this is not new for her. Again so personable and insightful. Ambiance is colorful & it makes you want to try all the flavors, cereal & toppings. A must try. This is my 2nd time here and it's now a family favorite.

    I first visited The Cereal Lab during a Yelp invite about a year ago and circled back over the weekend. When we walked in we were greeted and welcomed in. We took our time to order but the ice cream attendant was so patient and kind. She allowed us to ask questions and willing to provide suggestions. We needed up CYO and throughly enjoyed it. The shop is nicely decorated and it really opens your eyes to various types of cereal. There is free parking located not to far from the entrance of the shop, and street parking if you can find any. Cool spot, definitely give this place a try if you're looking for a sweet treat. Oooohhhhhh, they have liquor. So if you want a boozy treat, check them out!!!!

    A bowl or a cone, u can't go wrong!

    Didn't know what to expect. Ice cream PLUS all your favorite cereals . . . common cereal AND limited edition cereals. Make it your way. In a bowl. On a cone. With a brownie. We tried them all. Delicious!

    My friends and I came here after finishing our dinner nearby. There were 8 flavors of ice cream to pick from and plenty of toppings to include. Between the bourbon caramel and cappuccino flavors, I liked the flavor and texture of the bourbon one more as I found the cappuccino to be a bit gritty and not very prominent in taste. We saw they have huge uno cards (peep the pic) so we made ourselves comfortable and had a fun time. Staff were patient and kind serving our large group of 10 and seemed to have no issue with us rearranging (but returning) the layout of their space for a bit. I would come again to try more of their flavors and experiment with their toppings!

    Super cute ice cream shop! We tried ice cream and milkshakes both were so yummy. The young lady who helped us was so pleasant and kind and was very patient because we had 4 orders. She was great. The shop is so beautiful decorated. It's super clean. The parking is right next to shop for a small fee. I definitely recommend this shop of you are in the area. I will definitely be back soon.

The food at the tasting was delicious, and we knew our guests would love it. We chose to go with two tapas stations with shrimp and grits, haricots verts, caesar salad, panzanella salad, wild mushroom ravioli, bourbon + pecan grilled chicken, mac n cheese, and coca cola glazed ham. They were able to accommodate a few guests who are vegan (and one with a soy allergy) with a rigatoni lentil bolognese and vegan panzanella salad. It meant a lot to us that they were able to make these modifications. We also had the fried chicken endive cups, carolina pulled pork on corn muffins, and fried green tomatoes (*drool*) as our hors d'oeuvres. For dessert, we had a special 24" wide cake from Cake by Anna and mini red velvet and mini smores cupcakes. (Thanks to Esther and team for cutting that cake!) Everything went absolutely flawlessly and multiple times our guests told us how much they enjoyed the food and the wedding. Thanks again to the SIMB team for all their hard work. We'll be recommending them to all our friends and family and dining at the restaurant again soon.

Richard went above and beyond anything we could have asked for our wedding and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a full service caterer and staffing for your wedding and/or event. We initially reached out to Richard looking for a vendor to make appetizers for our wedding (we had different vendors for the other courses). He had a wide selection of foods choices, where we selected four appetizers, our personal favorite (and the one with rave reviews from our guests) was the Mediterranean Grilled Lamb Chops with Cilantro Mint Aioli. In addition to the food, Richard offered very competitive pricing on other services as well - servers, bartenders, linen rentals, silver wear, full bar package, and so on. He was very conscious of our budget and offered multiple alternatives for each decision, which was greatly appreciated. Since our reception was at a venue where we could bring our own food and alcohol, it also required us to take care of everything else. Having Richard to take care of so many items was such a huge blessing.

    We were really impressed with our wedding tasting at Affairs to Remember. Before our tasting was…read moreeven finished, I knew I wanted to go with them. Afterwards, my fiancee and our wedding planner agreed. We will be booking Affairs to Remember to cater our wedding. Our wedding is going to be at the Atlanta History Center in Buckhead. Affairs to Remember is one of the History Center's approved caterers. After a lackluster experience with Proof of the Pudding at a holiday party, our planner recommended Affairs to Remember and Bold Catering & Design. Our choice came down to those two. After having experienced the food and service from both Affairs to Remember and Bold Catering & Design at various company parties over the years, I initially leaned towards Bold to cater our wedding. This was before we did any tastings. After our tastings, there was no question in any of our minds that we should go with Affairs to Remember. Based on my past experiences, I was under the impression that Bold served more modern food while Affairs served more traditional food. I was wrong. Affairs wowed us with a seasonal, contemporary menu. The service at both the Affairs to Remember and Bold tastings was great. The staff at both companies is wonderful. However, the food at the Bold tasting was "just" good as opposed to the food at the Affairs tasting which was great. I walked out of the Bold tasting not feeling 100% confident about our wedding food. I walked out of the Affairs tasting feeling excited and assured. That was the difference. Both tastings were private multi-course tastings led by a catering consultant and attended by our wedding planner(s). Affairs to Remember has a really nice space. It's decorated really well. There's a showroom to show you what various arrangements, table settings, etc. will look like. There are several private consultation rooms. There were five in our group: Affairs catering consultant Saffold Barksdale, our wedding planners (two), my fiancee, and myself. Affairs set us up in one of their bigger (biggest?) rooms that can seat eight (IIRC). The room was neatly arranged with table settings and our first course ready to go. Like our tasting at Bold, there was a personal server and chef appearances. Here was our tasting menu at Affairs: Starters: * Mixture of hydro lettuce and arugula from Crystal Organic Farm, oven-roasted sweet peppers, baby fennel and beets, toasted pepitas, and roasted garlic vinaigrette * House-smoked chorizo pork belly brochette * Mushroom chicken salad on goji berry coconut crisp * Watermelon gazpacho * Ketchup-battered lobster fritter, jalapeno tartar Entrees and sides: * Southern-fried Spring Mountain Farms chicken served over braised lady peas from South Georgia, finished with a buttermilk remoulade * Medley of braised collard, mustard, and turnip greens * Campanelle pasta with caramelized fennel, onion, and corn, fresh radicchio and a touch of cream Dessert and coffee: * Honeysuckle Gelato with macerated strawberries and basil on a frozen marble slab * Beanealogy dark roast Selva Negra coffee My fiancee loves local, seasonal, and sustainable food. Affairs really delivered on that front. Crystal Organic Farm (Newborn, Georgia), Springer Mountain Farms (Mount Airy/Baldwin, Georgia), Honeysuckle Gelato (Atlanta), and Beanealogy (Atlanta) are all local brands. Our dessert was actually supposed to be made out of ice cream from High Road Craft (Marietta), but there was a supply issue, so they subbed in Honeysuckle instead (fine with me; both brands are excellent). In general, the food tasted fresh, high quality, and absolutely delicious. The chefs did a terrific job. Just about every item was packed with flavor and/or cooked to perfection (such as the chicken). This was a "getting to know you" tasting. We tasted the items together. Saffold would explain each item as we ate it. Along the way, she learned our likes and dislikes when it came to food. I really appreciated this. In contrast, with Bold, we were sent menus before our tasting and were asked to choose items we'd like to taste. It was difficult for us to decide on a wedding tasting menu with no guidance. Bold's menus were somewhat disorganized and confusing. We much preferred the route Affairs took by choosing an initial tasting menu for us. That way, we could familiarize ourselves with Affairs first. There are over a mind-boggling 3,500 items to choose from at Affairs, so we're putting our full faith and trust into Saffold to come up with a proposal that is within our budget. For what we want, Affairs is a bit pricier than Bold, but still reasonable. Affairs executive chef Ahmad Nourzad prepared the pasta and dessert courses in-person for us. This was to show us examples of action stations. Saffold, chef Ahmad, and our server were fantastic. We really enjoyed the tasting and had a lot of fun. In addition to food, we can (and probably will) get our linens from Affairs too. It saves us time and money.
