"While the hidden speakeasy and full service restaurant behind the cafe bookshelves isn’t the place you’d want to go in workout gear (there’s a strict dress code), you’ll feel totally welcomed in the front cafe. By day, The James Room serves coffee and a variety of pastries and desserts like macarons (ask for the Negroni macaron), cheesecake, and homemade pop-tarts. The clean, bright white front room is small with just a few tables and leather chairs, but there’s outdoor seating with views of the BeltLine. Whether you sit inside or out, you’ll feel like you’re at a quaint bakery as you sip your coffee and devour a sweet treat. " - juli horsford, demarco williams, nina reeder, jacinta howard
