    Croissant
    Tanni D.

    When I heard a year ago that White Windmill was opening in Buckhead, I was thrilled. Other than Dunkin', there really aren't any bakeries near me that offer fresh pastries. I've always loved their Doraville and Duluth locations, and I was excited to have a location so conveniently close. The interior here is sleek and posh, with a spacious layout and plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. It feels modern and is a nice spot to relax with a coffee and a pastry. Staff is friendly, too. That said, this location has far fewer pastry options than the other stores. I've tried a few items, and the chocolate croissants stood out as a highlight to be. They're flaky, buttery, and delicious! Unfortunately, the drinks here haven't impressed me. I've tried four different beverages, and none have been great. The Lavender Latte ($6.50) tasted artificial, while the Mango Bubble Tea ($5.90) and Java Chip Bubble Tea ($5.20) were extremely watered down. Overall, if you're coming for the pastries, this location is okay but not outstanding compared to the other White Windmill locations. I likely won't return for drinks, but it's convenient for a quick pastry stop.

    Finally got the chance to visit this new location. It looks very nice and aesthetic, I like the ambiance and atmosphere in general. However, this specific day the AC wasn't working and it was super hot inside, which was disappointing because me and my friends ended up sitting outside (also warm); so it was inconvenient in that aspect. Service was friendly and fast. Our pastries definitely were affected by the temperature, some of the parts were melted and it was a little messy to eat them. Drinks were good. It's an "ok" location if you want to visit a cute store and visit the Buckhead area.

    I stopped here before heading to visions. The cream filled croissant donut was calling my name. The bonus was a couple samples laid out near the register and inside of the case. My favorite samples were the coconut ball and the mocha cream bun. The cake was a little dry and the croissant donut needs more filling and could have been softer. All and all I'll be back. The staff was great and parking was easy. The area is built up now and I love the restaurants they added and the aesthetic.

    We visited White Windmill today and it was such a lovely experience! When you walk in, you immediately notice the peaceful aesthetic and super tall ceiling with draped curtains. There is a huge self-serve pastry case and all of the pastries we tried were phenomenal. Very light and fluffy! We also got iced matcha lattes which were great. A bit of a warning: their "house coffee" comes pre-sweetened and if you don't want super sweet coffee order an americano instead. The staff was polite, not super chatty or friendly. Nobody greeted us when we came in or anything but when we approached the counter they were polite. We will be back for more of these pastries!

    We stopped in here before leaving the area. This was for an hour long drive we had ahead of us. The location was clean and there were a few people in the cafe but it wasn't noisy. The desserts all looked inviting. We ordered 2 coffees and a full size cake to go. I believe I had a rose latte. It was perfectly made. Later that night the people at our dinner party raved about the cake. It was worth the stop in.

    So excited to have a bakery in the neighborhood now! Stopped in opening day and will say it was a bit of a disorganized mess - two hours after opening, employees were still setting up and trays of pastries scattered all over the restaurant's tables with no sort of covering. Not sure how sanitary this was, especially as children ran around the restaurant hovering over the exposed pastries. We also were unfortunately not greeted or spoken to while we were there - simply just told our total bill at the register. While our experience got off to a rough start, White Windmill seriously made up for it in the quality of their pastries. Not only did we love the chocolate croissant, but the coffee was great too. The remodel of the space looks really great as well - aesthetic, clean, and well kept thus far. Overall, it was a bit of a weird experience, but the food was well worth it.

    Went for matcha, lattes and pastries. Had the croissant and a pain au raisin. Absolutely delicious! Wanted to try the tissue bread but someone got the last one before I could get to it. I was disappointed that they weren't bringing more pastries out. We got there at 10:45am and that's kinda strange that things were not being replaced. There were quite a few "missing items." Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I will go again just hope they have a better selection. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. Beautiful space. Free 1 hour validated parking.

    The bread here is really delicious. They're not stingy with the chocolate and pistachio at all

    The bread here is really delicious. They're not stingy with the chocolate and pistachio at all. The drinks are also tasty and refreshing. This is my first time coming here, and I already like this place. It's also a really chill spot to sit and relax.

    Great food. Excellent service. Lovely ambience. Came for dinner on a Saturday night. Parked next…read moredoor in the Irby parking garage (the restaurant validates; be warned the whole garage smells like trash though) and took the elevator up to G, where we were able to exit to street level and enter the restaurant. We had made reservations and were seated immediately. Server came and took our drink orders, and made some recommendations. Everything is locally sourced so she told us what would be leaving the menu soon. I got the "monk's last word" cocktail, and my husband got an old fashioned. There was an extensive wine list also. The burrata and tomato salad appetizer looked simple but was surprisingly delicious. We also got mussels and they gave us extra bread to sop up the yummy creamy sauce. For our entrees, my husband got the ribeye. It tasted a bit like bacon. He asked for it to be cooked on the more rare side of medium rare, and it was. We both felt he makes steak better, but it was good, even if a little dry. My papardelle pasta was also good. I finished it. They were out of lamb meatballs and carrot cake, which was disappointing since that's what we wanted. Overall though, I enjoyed it. I really enjoyed my cocktail especially.

It's a beautiful, airy space with plenty of seating, perfect for a relaxed weekday brunch. The quiche rotates seasonally with fresh, in-season ingredients, which I appreciated. However, my lavender latte wasn't great, and it was my first coffee of the day. While I liked that the syrup was house-made, it didn't quite justify the price, especially when I can't count on a solid caffeine fix because it had such a bitter and sour taste to it. The latte art was worth the photo but not the price. Overall, I'd give it a 3 out of 5 just for the delicious quiche. Also loved their market area for fresh homemade picnic-style items & bevs. It's a lovely spot for journaling or catching up with a friend, but not somewhere I'd splurge on regularly.

He said "one sec...let me see where your waiter is". Waiter finally comes. She is charming. Takes our order. Ok maybe we are back on track, let's give this place a chance. Yall we ordered eggs. 30 minutes go by...no food. A couple tables who arrive after us are getting their food. We ask the waitress. "We had to boil the water for your eggs." 20 more minutes go by. Food comes. Poached egg has zero runny. The 'Eggs over medium' were overcooked and left off my friends plate upon waitress insistence... they come 5 minutes after he received his pancakes, potatoes; and sausage. Everything overcooked. The owner did come out and apologize, and the waitress did everything possible to make it right. So 2* instead of 1... but man, rough day for this restaurant--enough to ensure it was our first and last visit.
