    Left: Flourless Chocolate Bite topped with our signature buttercream and organic cocoa nibs -- 2 Carbs, Cinnamon Rolls -- 1.5 Carbs
    Candice T.

    I'm just getting around to posting my review from my visit around the holidays. To start, I'll just say that Zambawango has plenty of great options for those who may have particular dietary limitations/needs, and I applaud them for that. Definitely recommend! I arrived shortly after they'd opened for the day, and two women were busy in the back making a fresh batch of bagels and some other items. They immediately let me know they'd be right with me. It was quiet and I had time to look in the case without feeling rushed. I ordered a few different items to try, including coffee with the caramel sugar free syrup. While I honestly didn't love the coffee, the desserts were great! My favorites were the flourless chocolate cake, german chocolate cheesecake, and the cinnamon brown sugar cake. Absolutely delicious! The caramel walnut brownie was good as well. I had a choice of a cinnamon roll with or without icing. I went without it, and I wasn't really a fan. It had a pretty strong aftertaste in my opinion, and I think I would have enjoyed it more with the icing. I also ordered one of the cheddar jalapeño bagels. It was decent. The texture took some getting used to, which is to be expected with some keto breads. Also, they'd just been made so they weren't in the case when the young woman told me they were available. I ordered one on a whim, and I think the cheese and jalapeño sitting right on top kind of threw me off as well. I think I'll try a different flavor next time! Overall, I'll be back for sure. Different desserts are available at different times, so I'm looking forward to trying some of the other desserts that are available whenever I go.

    R and I came to Zambawango to get keto-friendly, sugar-free and low carb desserts. I had seen Zambawango a few times while driving by it on Abernathy Rd in Sandy Springs. Zambawango is in a mixed-use complex, and shares a parking garage (with free parking) with its business neighbors. The parking garage is located behind the small businesses. There were maybe 4 tables for customers to sit at in the small store. Zambawango is a small bakery and dessert shop that also serves coffees and carbonated drinks. The employee handling the order counter called out a greeting to us as we entered the store, which had that "just baked" comforting and inviting smell. We looked at all of the baked goods in the clear display cases, and I ordered a slice of coconut blackberry cake and R ordered lemon cheesecake. R also ordered a coffee (compliments of a Yelp check in offer), but was told that they didn't have any, but was offered an Americano, instead, at no charge, which R accepted. We sat at one of the tables near the display cases and It took a couple of minutes before we were handed our desserts at the order counter, with the Americano taking about 5 more minutes before R got it. Although the coconut blackberry cake was on the dry side, I thought it was delicious. The barely sweet sweetness was perfect for someone (like me) who doesn't care for things that are very sweet. R thought the lemon cheesecake was good. I thought the presentation was great, as it looked like a miniature cake. For those who count their carbs (and we don't), Zambawango lets customers know how many grams of net carbs are in each item. For the record, in net carbs (in grams) my slice of coconut blackberry cake had 4.5 net carbs, and the lemon cheesecake had 3.5 net carbs. There are lots of colorful pieces of wall art, which included pics of baked goods and cartoons.

    Yeah....the Chocolate mousse was all that. The Americano, from local coffee company Cloudland coffee, was strong and delicious. All of the in-house made cookies and treats looked great. The atmosphere on a Thursday afternoon, was quiet and relaxing. What else do I need to say? We'll be back....

    I have been meaning to try this bakery for a while now and glad I finally had a chance to! They are low carb, Keto friendly, sugar free, and gluten free bakery. Amazing, right? With so many yummy options to choose from, it took me a while to decide. I landed on four different treats: carrot cake, cinnamon roll, caramel brownie and a cookie. All of them were delicious, but I see why the carrot cake is a favorite! You wouldn't be able to tell it's low carb, keto friendly, etc. I also tried a strawberry lemonade which was refreshing. The service excellent. The staff was happy to answer my questions and explain some of the items. They also made great recommendations. Will stop by again when I'm in the area!

    Stop by on Saturday afternoon Was very quiet Friendly staff This is a keto gluten-free sweet shop I am not into that at all but I am always up to try new thing Easy access and parking Indoor and outdoor seating Perfect for dessert and coffee They do not use sugar on anything The desserts were still very tasty , they really make nice variety The coffee was good - i wanted sweeter but do I really need it.... I would recommend again

    Excellent Caramel Latte Cake - 4.5 Carbs, KETO & Gluten Free that didn't make it home ha!

    I have been on a health journey for about 5 years now keeping off around 50lbs. I am looking to take off more! This place is a heaven sent! There aren't many options for ppl who practice a ketogenic lifestyle. Baking with almond flour is extremely difficult let me tell you! Now that I am no longer eating sugar on the consistent basis many desserts are very sweet and very difficult to eat. I still crave a sweet option from time to time. The service was amazing the store was immaculate! The desserts came freshly made. The service was excellent. The receipt even included the net carbs for each item!!! The price point is bar none. Amanda was pleasantly welcoming and very knowledgeable. Amanda even explained the meaning behind the restaurant's name which is "Anything is possible" which is certainly true now that this establishment has blessed our community!

    My wife and I were really excited to try this place after reading other reviews as we prefer a low carb diet for the most part. I was able to get over to their location at the Serrano building on Abernathy Rd a few minutes before they closed at 4pm today. I wanted to try the red velvet cake but they were out. I decided to get several different items for us to try and settled on these items as a good test overall of what they have to offer: A plain bagel A piece of carrot cake 1 chocolate brownie 2 chocolate chip cookies Did I expect the items to be almost as good as the regular thing??? Well frankly from some of the reviews on this place--yes--- however in the back of mind I set my real expectations lower about was hoping that they would be 60-70% as good with the trade off being much lower carbs and sugar so it would be worth it. When I got home the first thing we tried was the bagel - at first I was concerned as it looked fairly small and somewhat flattish for a bagel-- anyway we gave it a try I tried it and their are 2 words to describe this bagel ---Absolutely Horrible. Imagine eating a bagel that has the texture of cornbread and that is what this bagel is. Frankly I would be embarrassed to put this out as a low carb substitute for a real bagel - if you can't even make it come say 50% as good to the real thing then why bother. This is a 0 compared to a real bagel in my opinion. Now onto the other items: The chocolate chip cookies - 1st bite impression was that it is about maybe 40% as good as a regular cookie but still had a strange texture and after taste. I only had 1 more bite after and decided it wasn't worth whatever calories it did have to finish it. The final result is I would much rather eat 1/2 (or less) of a real cookie than eat an entire one of these. Just frankly not that good for the price and calories it does have The chocolate brownie - 1st bite --about the same impression as the cookie- taste maybe 40% as good as a real brownie. My next thought is---I'd rather just have 1/2 (or less) of a regular brownie than 1 of these--even if they were the same price-- but there aren't -- these brownies cost twice to almost 3x what a regular brownie is. Even just eating a 1/4 of a regular brownie to save on sugar and carbs and calories would be better than eating one of these Next the Carrot Cake - the carrot cake looked good but when slicing it in half to share with my wife I noticed it was pretty crumbly. 1st bite impression was that it was fairly dry/crumbly. The icing was decent and had a nice texture but combined with the dry/crumble cake --the overall effect was not good. I tried 1 more bite from a different part of the cake slice but still same result --not very pleasing or satisfying. I stopped after the 2 bites and decided that it was not worth finishing Unfortunately about 10 minutes after trying all 4 items my wife and I both got sick to our stomach and had to go to the bathroom I really wanted to like this place. I was hoping to at least find a couple of items that were good Lo carb substitute for the real thing. Unfortunately it was a waste of $19.99

    Assortment of cookies and Oreos

    I stopped by Zambawango today to pick up a snack for the team. The shop is local and owned by women so I wanted to support! Also, the food is largely low carb/gluten free! I ordered an assortment of huge cookies, a spinach and feta bagel(delicious), and homemade Oreos. Each ran $2-3. The team loved them! No one knew they were low carb until I mentioned it. They went fast. Also picked up a yummy latte. The bakery/cafe is located on the plaza level of an apartment complex. I turned right on Abernathy, into the complex, then followed the sign for free retail parking and walked right inside.

    pecan pie, coffee cake, cinnamon rolls, feta and spinach bagel, strawberry cupcakes

    LOVE the carrot cake, whoopie pies and strawberry cupcakes. I've been hoping to stumble upon a gluten and sugar free bakery for a long time and they do not disappoint. I've been going at least once a week since I discovered them.

    This place is known for keto friendly, carb free, healthier dessert options. As a sweets connoisseur I had to come check it out. I ordered a bday cake swirl, chocolate cake bite, kitchen sink cookie, and carrot cake. They all were good, but like in an okay way. The chocolate cake was by far my fave because it had a rich, dense flavor. The other treats were decent. I wouldn't say the items I had were like "oh my gosh" good, but it definitely works as a healthier dessert option.

    The baked goods case. Bagels, cakes, etc.
    Kiki K.

    This was a long awaited visit. We tried to visit 3 years ago but never made it. So glad they have weathered the pandemic. Tons of low carb, keto baked goods options. Tiny human picked out a brownie pop. I got a St. Patrick's Day cookie. Cute store. And they ship! Excited to try the rest of the bagels, cinnamon rolls and coffee cake we bought. Fun bit - they list the carb count of each item on the receipt.

    It was so bad. Very disappointing. Better luck making your own gluten free foods at home and using monk fruit sweetener to sweeten. This store would turn me off completely from gluten free and sugar free if I did not know there was better tasting healthy foods available.

    Stopped by here on a crispy Saturday morning to get coffee and try some healthy desserts. We ordered the carrot cake, raspberry zebra brownie, jalapeño cheddar bagel, and brewed coffee. The carrot cake is super crumbly but the flavor is pretty spot on. The icing is sweet and creamy. The brownie texture is looser than a normal brownie but for one that's low carb and gluten free, it's pretty good. The last item is arguably the best one we had- the jalapeño cheddar bagel. To call us a bagel is a bit of a stretch but since it's also a slightly crumbly texture that's held together by the cheddar cheese. Flavor is good and worth trying tho!! Coffee is somewhat unmemorable but when I asked for milk, they offered steamed milk in lil cups which was very nice. The service is very kind and friendly, we were met with cheery attitude that was appreciated. Overall, worth the visit if you're looking for some low carb and gluten free dessert substitutes!

If you know, you know. The pastries here are absolutely worth the detour--and honestly, wherever I see a Paris Baguette, I do pull over. That includes locations I've visited in Northern California, North Brunswick, New Jersey, Atlanta, Georgia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and even the one here in Charlotte down in Pineville. It's a bit of a drive for me, but when I'm in that area, I always make a point to stop in and pick up a couple of their delicious croissant-donut pastries and marzipan or almond croissants. That's the beauty of this bakery--it's a chain, yes, but the consistency is what keeps me coming back. I have yet to be disappointed. Of course, I had to stop at this Hilton Head location--and I didn't come empty-handed. Food connects people, and bringing pastries to your host is always a winning move. I picked up three different varieties of their famous croissant-donut style pastries (similar to the well-known cronut): * Chocolate * Tiramisu * Mango And I added two large almond croissants that were beautifully filled, flaky, and indulgent. Everything looked fresh, full, and irresistible. The setup inside is easy and efficient. It's self-serve: you grab a tray, line it with parchment, use the tongs, and select whatever catches your eye--from baguettes to cakes to coffee drinks. Checkout was quick, Apple Pay was accepted, and the whole experience felt smooth and well organized. The space was clean, friendly, and inviting, with plenty of outdoor seating. Bottom line: Whenever you see a Paris Baguette on your radar, pull over. It's dependable, delicious, and perfect for picking up pastries to share--or to treat yourself. For me, it's one of those rare places that delivers the same quality every single time, no matter the city--and that kind of consistency is something I truly appreciate as a traveler and lifelong foodie.

    My second time visiting this cafe, I came back because I really enjoyed their drinks!!…read more I got the black sugar latte and my mom got the mango coco creme latte. Both drinks were yummy, I regret not getting another one Unfortunately, I didn't like the Brie apricot toast. I fear it was probably on the worst toast slices I've ever had. I love Brie cheese and apricot but this wasn't it presentation and value was really well done , it just wasn't for me! The staff were kind and very fast so that was appreciated, usually I keep short interactions because of my social anxiety! Cafe Comma is a lovely cafe if you're looking for peace and a yummy treat. It is a small cafe so seating is limited.

The parking garage made parking easy, and the service there was amazing, but everything else could have been improved. I got a pistachio latte but it was clearly used from an artificial pistachio syrup that gave it an odd taste instead of real pistachios. The seating was also awful. There aren't any options to get a spot with a back, so after working there for 2 hours, my back was starting to hurt. The music was also SO LOUD it was impossible to concentrate since I had to blast my own music to cover it up. I don't know how anyone could have a conversation here. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be back, and I'm still looking for a good coffee shop in the area.

    This TBAAR location, attached to Kyuramen restaurant, in Abernathy Square shopping center, has…read morebecome one of our go-to boba tea places whenever we are in Sandy Springs and feel like having a boba milk tea. Parking is free and always available in the big parking lot shared by all of the businesses in Abernathy Square. No matter which employee has been at the counter taking orders and making the drinks, they've always been quick, efficient, accurate, courteous and helpful with information about the drinks. A variety of teas, lemonades and smoothies are on the menu, which is displayed on easy to read monitors on the wall behind the prep area. There are two benches to sit on in the well lit space while waiting for your order, and no tables or chairs are available, so there's no opportunity to sit and work or visit with others. While you're waiting, you can walk a few steps over into the neighboring Japanese restaurant and decide whether you want to expand your drink break into a full fledged meal. My favorite boba tea is the Bubble Milk Black Tea, with 30% sweetness and less ice. In the many times I've had boba in drinks here, the boba has always had a good consistent chew. The drinks are in firm plastic cups with snap on lids, so the little ones can accidentally (or purposely) squeeze the cups and there won't be too much damage done to your vehicle upholstery on the way home, although if they drop or throw the cup on the floor it'll most likely be game over. Decent drink prices.

    This spot is amazing…read more I love love the decor. I have never seen such a unique space. I love it. I had the fruit tea drink. It was delicious. Very refreshing on a hot day. I enjoyed all the food I tried. 10/10. My server was nice and pleasant. I definitely encourage others to visit. It's a great spot for date night.

    What a splendid little hidden gem in Sandy Springs! Recently met a colleague here for a little…read morecoffee and coworking sesh, and we had the best experience! Service was fantastic, and their menu is full of healthy, delicious items made with fresh ingredients. Parking feels like it could get tricky on a busy day as there's only one small lot behind the building, but when I arrived there was plenty of parking spots left so definitely just depends on time of day. The little road leading down to the back lot is a bit rough, so just a heads up to take it slow (especially with a sedan or lower vehicle). We were welcomed immediately and had the chance to pick and choose our perfect spot so we could really get comfortable. Ended up in a booth and it was perfect, however, do note that outlets are limited if you need to charge your phone or laptop. As we grew hungry, we decided to indulge and I ended up ordering their signature BLT - it was fantastic! I also really appreciated that they give the option of turkey or pork bacon. Of course, I had to go extra crispy no matter what. I will certainly be back for more visits in the future!

    Cafe I AM is the cutest restaurant/event space that I have been to in quite some time. Located in a…read morequaint-looking house in Sandy Springs, the ambiance at Cafe I AM certainly makes you feel at home. The owners are South African/Portuguese, and their hospitality shines through the moment you walk through the doors. I have several South African friends, and I immediately smiled when I saw the cultural nods to their country throughout the space. During this visit, my husband and I kept it simple by ordering basic breakfast foods: I ordered the breakfast plate that consisted of two eggs over-medium, tomatoes, avocado, bacon and a slice of buttered toast. My husband ordered a pressed panini and a coffee. My husband loved his panini. In truth, my food was just OK. I was hoping there would be more local spices or ingredients used to jazz up the dish. It was very healthy and fresh, but almost too plain for what I was expecting! I do want to come back and try something that's more traditional to South African cuisine.
