    Turkey Pesto Panini
    Monique A.

    White Windmill bakery is a cute little coffee shop in Duluth. My husband and I originally came here for our weekend coffee, and ultimately decided that the lunch options were what piqued our interest here. The interior offers a decent amount of seating, and there is also exterior seating. The gal who assisted me at the front was quick to give her opinion on drinks she thought would pair well with my lunch sandwich. The offering of Milk Teas was a huge plus for me! My husband ordered a breakfast croissant while I ordered a turkey pesto sandwich. My order came with a side of pickles and chips. For drinks, my husband got a latte and I got a milk tea. The food was quite tasty and we will be back!

    #vegetarian . I stopped by The White Windmill Bakery & Cafe for lunch and was impressed by the space--but the food fell a little short. I ordered the Avocado Open Face Sandwich, which looks fancy, but be aware--it's very bland. It came as a toasted slice of multigrain bread topped with cold, chunky avocado, cold sliced boiled egg, and a sprinkle of arugula. Despite the beautiful presentation, there was no seasoning and no cream cheese, as some descriptions suggest. Just plain and simple. On the bright side, the fruit cup that came with it--fresh strawberries, blueberries, and green grapes--was delicious and refreshing. One heads-up: while Yelp lists the sandwich at $10.99, the in-store price was $13.99 ($14.80 with tax). That's a noticeable difference. The café itself is beautiful--lots of natural light, plenty of seating, and a clean, peaceful environment inside and out. The restrooms were clean, and there's also a nice outdoor area to enjoy. WiFi was the biggest downside--it wasn't working at all, which cut my visit short since I needed internet access. All in all, a gorgeous place to relax, but if you're coming for flavor, you may want to try a different menu item. #WhiteWindmillCafe #AtlantaEats #AvocadoToastReview #CafeVibes #BeautifulButBland #HonestFoodReview

    What an amazing spot here in Duluth! So happy to have found this bakery. It's now become our go-to place for the BEST espresso beverages (go-to for Americano & lattes). Their pastries are so fresh and gourmet. Wide variety of options! Everything we've tried has been excellent. Quality + taste is definitely valued here. Cute and comfortable ambience--perfect for coffee dates & studying/working. Friendly staff & quick service for drinks.

    GREAT FIND! I love asian cafes and I love to visit different ones in Georgia. I will usually sit down for about an hour or two to study and I happened to see that there was a White Windmill in Duluth near me! It was very easy to find and the parking was convenient. The interior is very pretty and they have variety of pastry options as well as more savory sandwich options. We ordered Peach Tea and Java Chip Ice Blended along with a sandwich. Very tasty and I can tell they use fresh vegetables for their sandwiches. The drinks were also very good. The service was also very friendly. The cashier working was super sweet and the manager working was checking all the pastries and such while I was there. Seems very well maintenanced. Bathroom was very clean and well lit as well. I will be back again to study or to socialize with some friends after dinner over desset

    Such a cute cafe. They have outdoor seating but we stayed in. The atmosphere was very friendly. They have a variety of drinks and sweet/savory baked goods. I ordered the classic milk tea and a buttercream bread. I didn't use the wifi here but you can work here if you choose. The music is quite loud and there was alot of customers for a Wednesday evening.

    Pleasant young ladies at the counter. Service was fast and efficient! Their croissants and bubble teas are awesome! The Taro is my favorite

    Always enjoy the pastries from White Windmill, even if they are a bit on the pricier side. Lots of great bags of goodies that can be taken to go as well. I hadn't realized that they have a full lunch menu as well, in addition to coffee and sweets. Servers were very nice and patient while we made our selections. The only disappointment (perhaps it was the time of day) was that the dining area was too quiet -- full of folks working on their computers. We felt like having a conversation over our pastries was disturbing them! This is not an issue with WW, of course, but worth noting for those looking for a lively spot. Otherwise, lovely experience.

    One of my favorite cafes in Duluth! They have a big tea latte selection, which is so helpful…read more(because sometimes a girl just wants a tea and not a coffee, you know?) I've tried a variety of their drinks, and my go-to is the Strawberry Earl Grey latte. It's SO GOOD. Nothing is overly sweet, and the tea flavor really shines. My brother likes the mango matcha and my cousin always goes for the vanilla earl grey latte (coffee) or the pistachio latte. We also enjoy their sandwiches too. Would definitely recommend this place! They have a little punch card, where your 10th drink is free, and the owner is so nice! There's waves of people coming and going, but it's not constantly super packed like other places. It's not the biggest place, but you can find seating, and it's a nice place to get stuff done. I wish I could gatekeep this place, but I also want them to be successful. Go try them out!

    Summary: Great coffee, calm study cafe, just a bitter experience due to the owner…read more Black Sesame Ice Cream Latte: Yummy!! Would order again in a heartbeat. It's a couple scoops of ice cream with espresso. Pumpkin Spiced Latte: Was good but nothing outstanding. Peanut Butter Cream Einspanner (Iced): Peanut butter cream was good, but once you mix the drink together the peanut flavor is lost. If you like the darker bolder coffee taste, this is a good one to try. Vibe: Music is always upbeat and peaceful, mostly a calm study cafe but some people grab and go. Service: On my first visit I was offered a stamp card. 10 stamps, and your next item is free. The owner is always there and is very welcoming and polite, but it's only for the sake of business. It's not genuine friendliness or care for customers. When I picked up my PSL, I immediately noticed the cup was too light. I ordered a large and there was at least 1.5 inches of space between the fill line and the rim of the cup. Why pay extra for a large if I'm getting served a small? Given that the drink was prepared by the cafe owner herself, I would have been embarrassed to serve a customer such a drink. My other complaint is that I'd visited 3 times in the past two weeks, sat in the cafe for at 3+ hours each time, and was in a rush to attend a important zoom meeting, and planned to order after my meeting was over. 30 mins in, I was actively speaking on the video call when the cafe owner interrupted me to say that I couldn't sit without ordering a drink. So many parts of me want to justify her behavior, maybe she's anxious about the cafe not making enough money - but given that she has seen me before and I was actively speaking - that rubbed me the wrong way. I was beginning to feel comfortable at the cafe but that moment made me hesitant to return. If this hadn't happened, I would have considered this a 5/5 star establishment and found a go-to study spot.

The Second Level / Upper Floor is reserved for if you are going to be ordering/dining in for the pastas and/or savory foods. I only tried their coffee today on the first level. I did go upstairs to check it out and did see a bunch of people upstairs just sitting and chilling on their laptops with their coffees/drinks; so they may not really enforce their "reserved for pasta dining only" rule. Not sure. Ambiance (First Level / First Floor) - clean, nice, laid-back, chill, cool environment. Casual setting. Cool architecture, design, layout, and decor. Can get loud inside as ceilings are high and can get echo-y, especially if there are alot of people. Also, there is music constantly playing in background. Service (First Level / First Floor) - customer service was quick and straightforward. They were nice and polite. A+. No complaints here. Coffee (First Level / First Floor) - tried their "Korean Iced Coffee" for $7.25. It was one size only and one price at $7.25. It was delicious. Almost similar tasting to a Vietnamese coffee in my opinion (both are delicious). That strong, brewed coffee flavor with this delicious milky, sweetened condensed milk taste. I am not exactly sure if they used sweetened condensed milk in the Korean iced coffee, but it sure does taste similar to it. It's quite good. Also had a "Large Hazelnut Hot Coffee" with creamer for $5.95. It was okay. Total with tax for the two drinks was $13.99. Keep in mind that the WiFi is on your receipt as a QR Code at the bottom. So if you want to use the WiFi, ask for the receipt and/or keep the receipt so that you can scan the QR Code in order to use the WiFi. There was no password on the receipt, only a QR Code that you need to scan. Overall - Yes I would recommend this place for a nice little coffee stop. Check it out for yourself. Enjoy!

    Easilyyyy has become a top 3 favorite, and I have to go at least once a week…read more NOTHING has disappointed me here at Blue Mountain. My favorite order is the iced strawberry ceremonial matcha and fruit tart. I have also tried their iced Dutch latte, their strawberry cloud and a variety of their baked goods. Everything is always absolutely perfect. This is the best spot to get work done, catch up with friends, or for a quick coffee run. The inside is absolutely beautiful and serene. You can even see their cold brew and roasting through a window. Make sure to get their stamp card loyalty as well! I believe 10 stamps gets you a free drink of your choice! Love that they are open til 8PM, though I wish they were open a bit later.

    I've been a regular at this café for a while, but my recent experience was extremely disappointing…read more I placed my order with the Asian woman at the counter -- who I later learned could be the owner -- paid for it, and waited. After 45 minutes with no update, I finally asked about my drink -- only to find out they had completely forgotten my order. Waiting 45 minutes for a simple drink is already unreasonable, but being blamed for bringing it up was even worse. They didn't offer a free drink or even bring the drink to my table after realizing the mistake. Instead of apologizing, the staff member (or the owner) who took my order walked away and ignored me. Another employee stepped in, apologized, and made the drink, leaving it nearby for me to pick up. About 30 minutes later, the original staff member(who could be the owner) approached me and, speaking quietly in Korean, told me it wasn't her responsibility to remember my order because I hadn't ordered any pastries. She also claimed their system prevented staff in the back from seeing orders--an excuse I later learned wasn't true. This means that all other staff don't know the order and still manage to fill the orders in the back when we place them. The way she spoke, switching to Korean and keeping her voice low, seemed intended to appear polite to others while implying that I should accept her illogical talking, while wasting my time there. I don't see the point that the owner is making that when she didn't apologize for her mistake, and instead deflected blame onto me while treating me like I was in poverty, since I didn't order pastries. Not everyone likes the old, stale pastries they have. But other workers are so understanding and great people, though. Overall, the interaction felt dismissive and unprofessional, and I left feeling gaslit and disrespected despite being a loyal customer.
