    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.

    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.

    Croissant Donut Chocolate

    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.

    Coffee bar, tables.

    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 matcha was a tad bit sweeter than I would have liked I should've asked for less sugar.

We saw some of the really cute things in the window, so we walked in and it did not disappoint. The place was filled with chocolates macaroons and a whole bunch of pastries. You could also order a whole variety of espresso drinks and lattes, etc. It even had a really cute seating area directly outside, but if you could fit yourself inside, there was some bar seating as well. The place is not large however, the cases are definitely filled with a lot of goodies. On this particular day, it did take us a little while to make a decision as there are quite a few choices. However, the two staff members who were here that day were very patient with us. We did walk away with macaroons a lemon meringue tart as well as a Canele. You know what it's in the pictures. I do not have a picture of that because it was eaten before I got a chance to take a picture of it. But everything was so tasty absolute perfection. I don't know who's making this stuff but they are truly talented. I have to come back here again when I'm in Buckhead Village.

This is a bakery with a super cool selection of international cakes and collectibles. Japanese cream cakesC croissants, sweet-filled buns, on & on. It looks like quite a few items sell out, so it can be hit or miss if you have a favorite. We got our boba teas, a tiramisu, strawberry cream cakes to satisfy the sweet tooth(s), but I was so excited to see a chicken korean BBQ sandwich that I had to get one! OH-EM-GEE!! I will be back to the sandwich alone!! It didn't take too long for the hot sandwich despite it being nearly closing time on a Saturday. The staff was helpful, friendly, and very accommodating. The diner itself isn't fancy, and the tables could use some consistent cleaning and clearing. You get plastic tableware and napkins on your own. But it was warm in a cold evening and had plenty of places to sit in the evening. I can imagine it gets pretty packed for lunch. Not sure.

    Great bakery in Atlanta! My friend and I shared a variety of pastries:…read more - Sausage Roll: The flavor was great and a generous amount of meat. Wish this was heated up though, I feel like it would've been better. - Oxtail Meat Pie: Similar to the sausage roll with a generous amount of meat but wish it was heated up. It was pretty hefty. - Strawberry Pistachio and Coconut Cream Danishes: Both were so good! I loved the crispy and crunchy danishes and the flavors were great in these. I like the savory pistachios and the creamy and crumbly coconut cream. - Chocolate Chip Cookie: This was such a delicious cookie! Perfectly made in between soft and firm and textures. The sea salt on top was chef's kiss. The lines move pretty fast. There's nowhere to sit and lounge, so you would need to take these pastries elsewhere to enjoy. The staff is also really nice and patient when my friend and I were trying to decide on pastries. Overall, I think these pastries would do good in an air fryer/oven. I would come back, but bring the pastries home to warm and crisp them up a bit. I also really want to try their burger which is only sold on the weekend at certain times!

    I decided to try the infamous Sunday burger. I was not in the mood to drive to Kirkwood on Sunday…read moreand miss what I drove there for. I called in the morning to confirm the time they serve it. I was told to get here by 12:30pm because they serve the burgers at 1pm and the line gets long and they run out. Found out later in line from the person in front of me that they make 130-170 burgers and they sell them all. That's a lot of burgers. I thought it was all hype because I got there at 12:20pm and there was no line. I went in and asked to make sure this was the right place, the guy said to wait outside, they start selling it at 1pm. I was 1st in line. Waited 5 mins then went to my car to get my headphones. By the time I came back, 3 people were now in front of me. I guess the 12:30pm recommendation was valid. By 12:35pm there were 20 people behind me. I do not like waiting, so I'm glad I was early to at least be served 1st. Never been here before, they are busy. When I got here, it was packed with people buying bread and pastries inside. I didn't get to buy the sourdough bread. It was sold out. Apparently, the locals come every Sunday for this burger. I guess they hang a burger flag out when it's burger time some of the people in the line in front of me felt a way that they didn't do that this time. I guess they're getting comfortable and just trying to knock the rush/crowd out. I think coming at one would be fine if they're selling 170 burgers I think the problem is they don't limit the amount of burgers you can buy. At least I don't think so. Now for this burger. Not worth it. Not worth the wait or the hype. I'm still surprised how basic tasted. They need a housemate sauce or something on it. It's literally just one burger and pickles. If it was pack full of flavor and well seasoned, that would be enough. But it's not. The best part about it is the bun. And 30mins after eating the burger, I didn't feel so good. My stomach started hurting, and that was the only thing I ate all day. I avoid eating beef altogether, but I will here and there as of late. My boyfriend eats beef, but he started feeling sick maybe an hour later as well. I was disappointed because I didn't know they pre-make the burgers and just throw them in the bag. You can't customize it or anything. I think we got sick because the burgers were medium. They were not cooked well, and I always get beef burgers cooked all the way through. The way they're rushing you out of there like an express assembly line is crazy. I really wanted to wait to ask them to prepare me two, made well since they were making burgers as they were going along, I believe. I would have waited to have them made well but the way they were rushing you out, it just wasn't the place to ask for anything extra or additional and I don't like places like that. Too strict too many rules and you don't feel comfortable. Even though you're spending $70 on 2 burgers and some pastries. Compared to a pack of ground beef to make your own burgers, this is a lot. I bought two burgers $17 each, and 5 pastries to try because I won't be coming back here anytime soon. I will say, great pastry selection. I was talking to a guy in line and I asked him if he ever had the kouign amann. It looked good. He said yes, it was good, and the chocolate kouign amann, he's going to try as well. I purchased a chocolate kouign amann, a regular kouign amann, cardamom bun, a hazelnut bun, and monkey bread. I wrote everything down outside that I was going to buy so I didn't waste any time. I already spotted the monkey bread when I walked in. The woman packaging up the food was about to fix her face to say they didn't have any monkey bread, when they were clearly at the other end. Maybe that was her doing me a favor because I was highly disappointed in the monkey bread. I'm on a monkey bread kick, and I have been trying it at a lot of places. This one was not good. They sprinkle lemon zest on it, which kind of threw me off, and the bread itself was very dry even after warming it up, adding melted butter and honey. It still was not good. The best thing was the original kouign amann. The chocolate one was not good because they have chocolate on the inside kind of like moose or ganache, but it was overwhelming. It tasted like dark cocoa chocolate, and I thought the pastry was dark because the whole thing was chocolate, but it actually was burnt. A lot of the items looked burnt to be honest. I think the demand is getting to this place. The cardamom bun was just ok. The hazelnut bun was just an extension of the monkey bread to me. Not a fan. I remember growing up, we went to the local butcher and bakery to get fresh meat, bread, and pastries for cheap. I like the idea of a local bakery and butcher shop like this, but this place is not cheap. I'd skip this one.

The rolls are priced around $2.50 each and were soft and fresh. I went with the red bean bun and taro bun. Both were buttery and delicious, although they could use a little more filling.

For $26, I got a ton of food and 90% of it was absolutely delectable. And I say that with an 8-year-old in tow who enjoyed it too! Let's start with the never again item: the Flossy Bun. It's a popular Chinese pastry made with soft, sweet bread filled and topped with sweet and savory pork floss... allegedly. There weren't any descriptions, so I looked it up online. But let me tell you--no. Just no. I don't get how it's popular. Definitely a cultural preference, and it's not for me. I even paused mid-bite hoping I'd grow into the flavor. Nope. Then there was the Coffee Butter Cream Pastry. I thought at the very least my fiancée would like it since she enjoys coffee flavors. That was another miss. I even gave some to two little ones, and the faces they made reminded me of the time I tried canned octopus. That's how bad the flavor was. But now to the good stuff--because the rest? Fire. BBQ Pork Bun - Yummy! Not packed with meat, but enough to enjoy and super easy to pull apart. I really wish they offered a heated option for this, because that would've put it over the top. Japanese Milk Cream Bun - Super creamy. I do wish it had just a little more cream inside, but the bread was so soft and delicious, I honestly didn't care. Hot Dog Cheese Bun - I got this for the little one and I've never seen a child eat something so fast. I'm taking that as a solid win. Egg Tart - Grabbed this from the front warmer after watching another customer snag one. I had missed it earlier. Not totally my thing on its own, but when I got home and added a little chili paste? Devoured. Hong Kong Boba Milk Tea - I went with this instead of the brown sugar version and kind of regret it, but it wasn't bad at all. All in all, the prices are great, the flavors were mostly on point, and the man at the register was super friendly and open to answering questions. Yeah--I'm sold. Looking forward to coming back!
