I stopped by Hansel & Gretel Bakery Cafe while attending a work conference in Atlanta and was…read morereally impressed. They have a huge selection of baked goods, pastries, and desserts, with plenty of unique options to choose from. Be sure to go earlier in the day if you can, as many of the most popular items sell out quickly. The café has a trendy, modern atmosphere that makes it a great place to relax with a coffee or specialty drink. The coffee and beverages were excellent and paired perfectly with the pastries. Overall, it's a great spot to visit if you're in Atlanta and looking for high-quality baked goods and a good cup of coffee.

This Hansel and Gretel creates quite a conundrum for me. On one hand, they do bakery items really…read morewell, especially if you like sweets that aren't mind-numbingly sweet. But on the other, it's notably more expensive and the drinks are very lackluster in quality compared to the consistency I've experienced at another location of theirs OTP (Duluth). Traveling to North Atlanta to get a good sweet (I highly recommend no-frills Family Baking in Chamblee) can be a hassle and these prices at this cafe are super reflective of the touristy crowd to which they largely cater. They have an advantage of low competition in the downtown market and again the prices reflect that. If you are a person that follows dessert "trends", prepare to pay more... sorry folks, that's basic economics! But there are still options if you're on the more fundamental side of sweet-seeking. Now, it's still $1-$3 more expensive per item than most other Asian bakeries I've been to and that certainly adds up if you're grabbing multiple items. My last visit I dropped about $28 with tip for two bakery items, a tiny cream puff and a matcha latte whereas I've gotten a big bag full of items at Family Baking for $25. And one thing I can definitively say is that this place does not do well with drinks, and that's largely dependent on who the barista is when you walk in. If you are looking for ceremonial grade matcha, you will not find it here. Expect pre-mixed powders and sweeteners in most things, which in my opinion is just lazy. Selecting "no sugar" will still produce a sweet drink. I usually steer clear of the teas but coffee should be okay. It works in a pinch to fix a craving sometimes, and H&G Downtown will continue to be that for me. Extra points for occasionally being open late.

The croissants are perfectly flaky and buttery, and you can tell the ingredients are high quality and thoughtfully used. The vibe is cozy and very "Atlanta" -- relaxed, a little trendy, and a great place to meet a friend or grab a quick coffee. Service is always friendly and efficient even when it's busy. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area... just be prepared to leave with more pastries than you planned.

Super cute and yummy coffee shop…read more I came here on a Friday morning around 10a.m. It was active inside with about 3 people ahead of me but the line moves quick. There's a steady traffic of people going in and out. The staff are welcoming and pleasant. I got an iced honey lavender latte with oat milk and slice of the pistachio cardamom cake. The latte was ok but the cake was phenomenal. The latte had a decent flavor but it wasn't strong. Plus it tasted very grainy and milk-heavy, overpowering the coffee. My slice of cake was so moist and delicious without being too sweet. It was perfect. I'd definitely come back again more so for the desserts than the coffee. They have some indoor seating and a cozy table on the sidewalk just outside the front door.

There was a lady ahead of me who was contemplating the menu. I ordered and awaited my food. She ordered and sat down. We both received our food. It soon became clear that this lady was experiencing a different reality. She was chuckling and mumbling to herself, but she was not bothering anyone. Her tone remained at a conversational level. Approximately 30 minutes later, the officer came in and demanded the lady leave. He stated that "she" (presumably referring to one of the Press and Grind staff, though I did not see anyone call) had asked him to escort the customer out. The customer correctly stated that she had paid for her food and wasn't bothering anyone. The officer proceeded to present handcuffs, at which point the officer and the lady both exited press and grind and parted. I am disappointed to see what was once my favorite coffee shop gatekeeping who frequents their establishment. I share so that others know and I hope for clarification from Press and Grind.

I can't speak for parking since my son and I walked from another building. However, I did see some street parking available. Apotheos serves coffee, tea, pastries, and even wine and cocktails. I ordered an oat milk latte with honey cinnamon powder and an egg and cheese friscuit for myself and a dirty matcha for my son and a (mini) chicken biscuit for my son. Service was fast and friendly. The staff allowed me to ask lots of questions, which was greatly appreciated. The latte was smooth and I really enjoyed it. The friscuit was just okay, but I appreciate having unique breakfast options. My son also enjoyed his dirty matcha and chicken biscuit and could have easily eaten ten of those little biscuits. Prices are very reasonable. Apotheos is definitely worth a try!

The vibes are nice if you're looking for a hotel lobby atmosphere, but it's not very practical unless you're planning to just sit and talk with a friend for a while. Would much rather recommend the pastries and ambiance at any Daydreamer Coffee in Midtown, which have a variety of seating and higher quality pastries.
