Cupanion's Kitchen + Coffee

I had the Vegan Root Hash and it was simply divine! I also ordered a hot chocalate with almond milk. The staff members were courteous and helpful. I ordered in store and took my food to-go. My order was ready in 15mins flat which is great for a busy Saturday. I will definitely be back again so I can dine in and enjoy more of the menu items.

Small place with nice atmosphere and great food! We waited about 15 minutes for a table, but it was worth the wait. Eggs, bacon and potatoes were done perfectly and came out hot. My partner had the pancakes and they were very good as well. And the coffee is outstanding.

We stopped there for breakfast. The place was really busy, but we still got a table with no wait. We ordered shakshuka, omlet, and lattes. Shakshuka was good. My omlet was bland. I did not enjoy it, unfortunately. The coffee was really good.

Just an all around incredible company with some incredible people. I literally never buy ANY other coffee except here. The owner told me where the coffee comes from, how it grows, etc. Love his passion behind this place! The apricot chicken salad is to die for, they have the best cold brew I've ever had, and I love seeing the friendly faces every week that remember my name. I couldn't recommend a small business more!!

Late brunch off Roswell Rd’s vast food choices @cupanionscafe. Packed place for a reason, the food was perfection. That sweet potato biscuit was the best biscuit I’ve had EVER! Light and crumbly crust outside, moist moist buttery inside was accompanied with lightly sweet butter and the most amazing jam. Pick 2 was a great deal and also tasty. We didn’t have a single bad item. Another place to keep on list so that we will come back for dinner menu.

The oat milk latte was very good but the quiche was bland. The salad that came with the quiche was fresh and tasty with a delicious dressing. They had many gluten-free options which is great. The service was quick and I was able to find a table inside. It was noisy which made conversation a little hard.

Cupanion’s has a great coffee selection! They have a unique variety of flavors. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich, which was DELICIOUS. I love the apricot in the chicken salad, it was the perfect amount of sweetness. There’s also a bunch of outdoor seating that’s really nice when it’s warm out. I only wish they had longer hours!!

A great new find, for a quick coffee or a brunch! We walked in on a Saturday around 11am, ordered at the counter and found ourself a table, no wait time was a delight. Ordered double shot espresso, casserole French toast and the chicken biscuit. The cappuccino is so well made, reminded us of our days in Florence, Italy. For the food, make sure you have a good appetite, it’s so so good and filling, you would be drooling over it. The texture, thickness of the French toast is one of its kind. The biscuit and the chicken was delicious as well, a bit pricey but well worth it. Will be back for sure!

Great breakfast lunch place on Roswell. It can get crowded so go early. We have been twice for breakfast and everything was tasty. We have tried everything from pancakes to fried chicken You order at counter and they bring food to you. Definitely a hidden gem in Buckhead.

This place screams casual summer brunch vibes. I really had a good time here with my friends. They have a huge parking lot. We didn't have a long waiting time, even though this place was super busy on a Saturday morning. I got the egg Shakshuka, my friend got the avocado toast. Both were really good. The eggs are definitely delicious but not pasture raised. The food arrived soon. I got the hibiscus tea, it was refreshing.

Only reviewed the coffee. I'm a simple guy when it comes to coffee. Cold brew. Cream/half and half. Ice. Here the price is reasonable. Little too heavy on ice but the coffee flavor is quite good. Small indoor location but plenty of outside seating. Food looked to at very least decent but again I didn't try any of the food options.

I live nearby and eat here at least once a week. You really can't go wrong with any of the selections. The staff knows me by name, they're attentive and work hard, and the food is delicious.

Local spot for a delicious breakfast! I came here with two of my girlfriends after a very intense cycling class ready to refuel. I ordered the tomato bisque and grilled cheese with the iced Jasmine mango tea. The sandwich was so gooey and cheesy and the tomato soup was extremely thick and flavorful. Definitely made from scratch. My friends ordered the grilled chicken ciabatta and the chicken salad croissant. We also got the cheese grits to taste. Everything was delicious but my favorite was my friends grilled chicken ciabatta sandwich. We did not have to wait on a table after ordering even though it was a busy Saturday morning.

Such a delightful lunch place in the Fountain Oaks shopping center on Roswell Rd. My friend is a frequent flyer and always gets an egg dish off the breakfast part of the menu. I went with the BLT and highly recommend! Tomato, mixed greens, plenty of crispy bacon, with mayo on good crusty bread. Nice staff and great for grabbing a patio table midday!

This breakfast place has very good breakfast and ambiance is nice. My only complaint is that the prices are extremely high. I had a burger there for lunch with no drink and it was$25. It is a very casual place so nothing fancy which I like sometimes. Their breakfast are very good and coffee is excellent. For some reason it is very hard to find a great breakfast place in Atlanta and most serve you those little tubs of chemical cream that don't need refrigeration and call it cream but Cupanions has great cream and coffee. Their bacon is high quality so I highly Recomend for the first meal of the day!

When I come to Atlanta I frequently find myself here craving a coffee fix. Normally I'm obsessed with the bon bon coffee, but today I went rogue and don't regret it one bit. When I was asked for the size on a specialty coffee I went medium?!? I don't know how many sizes were options, but this is a nice large sized coffee.

Not Impressed I visited recently, hoping for a little something to hold be over until dinner - ordering a sandwich and tea. But the food and service left quite a bit to be desired. The host that took my order was dressed in a wrinkled, stained tee, seats and crocs. Where has the professional attire gone? Certainly, a laid back establishment is right up my alley, but this? No thank you Unfortunately, the food / plating was rather uninspired. I didn't finish my sandwich and decided to cut my losses in time, took my tea, and departed. It's truly sad to have a dining experience like this. Maybe it simply wasn't the day to visit. Then again, how can one be assured that this isn't the norm?

My mom and I came here starving for brunch. We arrived close to 12 pm on a Saturday. It was pretty busy but luckily there were still tables available to sit either inside or outside. Menus are provided at the register which is also where you place your order. Our eyes were certainly bigger than our stomachs. For drinks we got their Strawberry matcha latte with almond milk and hot latte. I'm not sure if it was because of my night of drinking the night before but the creaminess and sweetness of the matcha was a bit too much for me to fully enjoy it. My mom tried a cup of their Soup of the day: carrot ginger and Pancake combo (blueberry, over easy egg, bacon). I got their Shakshouka with a side of root vegetable hash. The soup was tasty and hot, the touch of pepitas and coconut shreds was well executed. My mom was happy with her combo plate as the pancakes were large and fluffy. I liked my shakshouka which is certainly enough to feed two people. The side dish was also good and almost a little sweet, in a good way. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. Even though they don't have table service, the staff are constantly making rounds to clear off the tables and provide any help if warranted. Service was efficient as food all come out in under 10 minutes after ordering. Food check, service check, and cute cafe check. I would definitely come again and try more items from their menu.

Lots of parking , nice fountain, outdoor and indoor seating , no WiFi after 11 am, 1 hour WiFi limit , coffee is amazing.

What a great place to breakfast/brunch/lunch! My partner and I came on a Saturday morning and there was a huge line waiting outside and already so many people sitting both inside and outside. We were super worried everything was gonna take a really long time and also worried that we wouldn't be able to sit anywhere. But the service was top-notch. One of the staff went around to ask people where they wanted to be seated and made to sure rearrange the seats so that we would be comfortable. We ordered the salmon lox breakfast and the cowboy's eggs benedict. Everything was incredible. The braised beef in the cowboy's eggs Benedict was so soft. The only thing was, I didn't like my eggs as much that came with the smoke salmon breakfast. It was a little rubbery. Keep in mind that this is an incredibly busy restaurant with people waiting outside and sitting inside and outside. When we were there, they were also getting lots of to go orders. Service was still fast given all of these conditions, but just know that seating may be limited.

This is my favorite post workout spot! I love love love the beet salad with a scoop of the apricot chicken salad on top. There are so many fun drinks you can order w your brunch and the servers are so so nice! It can get packed so make sure you are aware you may be in a bit of a line however, it moves pretty quick!

Deliciousness Love the mix of easy counter service and served to table food The fact that you get to enjoy the food outside by the calming fountain served on real dishes and flatware is a big bonus to me. I believe food tastes better this way than out of a Togo box. Be sure to go on Saturday morning - they have scratch made sloppy buns by Sticky Fingers they are the best - Madison's always a pleasure - and a real asset to your restaurant.

Came here a few years ago and finally made my way to write a review. The food and service was great. Definitely would go back which in need to lol

Good food, good coffee and the Vegan Root Hash is a favorite. However, the biscuits lack flavor and is too crumbly. I would definitely order again, just not the biscuit.

One of the best food gems In Sandy springs! If you haven't tried this place yet you must! The entire menu is good BUT The apricot chicken salad is out of this world. Best chicken salad in Atlanta and the croissant itcomes on is equally amazing

We decided to try Cupanion's Kitchen and coffee during a weekday for breakfast. We were surprised to see it was very busy on a Tuesday. We ordered two meals and coffees. The poached eggs were perfectly prepared and the croissant sandwich tasted so fresh and the croissant was perfectly crispy! The coffees were so delicious too! The cortado was made to order with coconut milk and no sugar (my preferred way to drink it). The coffee was delicious and not bitter so it didn't require any sugar! The service was prompt and the employees were so nice. We will be back!

Cupanion's Kitchen and Coffee has a neighborhood-y, small town feel to it, but in a good and friendly way. R and I have been here three times, on Saturday mornings only, and the guy behind the counter has been professional, courteous, friendly, quick efficient and customer focused every time. During our second visit here, after we ordered at the counter and told him we were eating inside, he quickly looked around the cafe and saw that there were a couple of tables that were open but hadn't been bussed yet. He told us that he would clean off a table for us. Right after the payment was made, he immediately started cleaning one of the tables for us after telling the person behind us in line that he would be right back in about a minute. He had our table cleared and wiped down clean within a minute, took the dishes away to the back, came back to the front area, washed his hands, then went back to take another order. Cupanion's is part of a busy strip mall, and the large parking lot is free and shared by all the neighboring businesses. Fortunately, parking is always available. Customers walk past the outdoor dining area (not fenced or sectioned off) and into the cafe to get to the line at the counter to place their order at the register. After paying, the employee gives a number to place at the table so the food runners know where to serve the food. The menu items are displayed on monitors, and paper menus are available next to the queue area. The cafe was clean. It was a nice slightly cool morning, and most of the customers opted to eat outside. During our most recent visit, there were three of us. I ordered the Build-Your-Own Omelet (choice of three items) with bacon, mushrooms and onion in it, and an English muffin, butter and jelly came with the meal. R ordered a fried egg Breakfast Sandwich on a bagel, and my sister ordered the Kid's Bacon and Scrambled Egg meal. The wait for the food wasn't long, and our meals, piping hot, were served to us. All of us liked our food selections, and everything was delicious and satisfying. I highly recommend eating here; just remember that this is a laid back cafe that serves up some delicious food that's on the healthier side. Cupanion's currently is closed on Sundays and Mondays. It closes at 4pm during the week and at 3 pm on Saturdays. Cupanion's is serves breakfast and lunch, and, for those who like to eat lunch, has many types of baked items on their menu. They have a variety of coffee and tea items.

I ordered the Shaken Iced Bon Bon and it was incredible. Service was also good, the team appears to handle a high volume of patrons pretty well. Took off one star because there was a lot of ice in the drink, to the point that I was done in 10 minutes. Not sure if less ice is something than can be requested? But I would definitely come here again!

Great cup of coffee made from fresh roasted beans. Great service!! Enjoy your coffee outside by the fountain. They give a 5% veteran military discount!

We came here for brunch on a Saturday at ~11am and it was veryy loud and crowded. At one point the line to order was almost out the door! However the servers were all very kind and cleaned a table for us quickly once we stepped in. You order at the front and find your own table. The food was all so delicious and there was a huge drink menu! I settled on the brown sugar latte with my blueberry pancakes and it was delicious. There's lots of parking since it's in the same plaza as Kroger and there's a few outdoor tables as well once the inside fills up.

I stopped in here before I hit the road on the way to Florida. I couldn't have been more impressed by how quickly I was helped despite how busy it was. The inside seating area was very comfortable and the Lox Bagel I got was a self-assembly type deal and I loved it! I would recommend asking the barista what their favorite coffee is because she steered me in the correct direction with this iced latte!

Good food and atmosphere. Service was fast and the employees were nice. Will definitely be back!

My friend was in town and we wanted to go to a brunch, with good food, nature and low key energy. I'm not sure which one of us found this, but the mini water fountain in the courtyard was one of the points that sold us. Every food item we had was fresh, delightful and solid portions. We even got to taste some of their small batch hot sauce that was soooo flavorful but definitely had a strong kick. One of my favorite items was the sweet potato biscuit. It made my toes tingle! Also both coffee beverages we had was absolutely amazing!!! I will be going back to try the strawberry match soon. Service was friendly. If you go on the weekends, get there early. There is indoor and outdoor seating but a line forms QUICK because the inside space is small. It is definitely worth it though!

The food here was excellent, and I loved the cozy restaurant atmosphere. My family and I came on a Friday morning, and it was already getting busy, which we were not expecting since it was a work day. Even though it was busy, our order came very quickly, and the food and coffee were great. I had the Root Vegetable Potato Hash and Eggs, and my eggs were made perfectly with runny yolks, as I had requested. The s'mores latte was delicious, as was the Mocha Latte. My husband ordered the Fried Chicken Biscuit (not pictured) which included a sweet potato biscuit that did lack some flavor, but other than that, it was tasteful! My picky toddler loved the pancakes. Next time we are back in ATL, we will definitely be returning here.

Loved this spot. Beautiful place to enjoy brunch. The staff was so friendly and made us feel welcome and the service was amazing. Food was delicious, and so was my drink (lavender lemonade). I'll definitely be back. Want to try their coffees and other entrees!

AMAZING! I ordered the sweet potato biscuit and chicken with pimento cheese grits and it is by far the best I have ever had! The lady taking our order was super friendly as well as the sweet woman who brought us our food! Indoor seating was cute but we loved the outside area with the flowers and fountain. This will definitely be somewhere we return to on our next trip!

I've gone here a few times and really enjoy it. My favorite menu item is the iced shaken bon bon. I order it every time. The sweet peach tea is also very good. It can get crowded on the weekend but they seem to be able to accommodate well. The only problem for me is the seating is tight inside. I've tried their breakfast food as well as lunch. The grilled chicken focaccia sandwich is very good. I would definitely recommend timing Cupanion a try.

I happened upon this place while in search of brunch on a sunny Sunday. There isn't a lot of seating, but I was lucky to snag a table as someone was leaving. There are also a few couches. I had the Cowboy Benedict. It was really good. A hearty meal after a night of "reunioning" with my friends. I also had the immunity booster tea. It was yummy and I am craving it even as I write this. I don't live near here, but I will surely make it my mission to stop in again when I am in the area.

*Visited 12/11/22 I was doing a birthday staycation in the city and decided to stop in for brunch before heading downtown. The food and experience were nothing short of perfect! I was immediately greeted upon entry and the staff gave great suggestions, as this was my first time visiting. I ended up ordering the breakfast sandwich and a chai tea latte. That latte was the BEST I've ever had; I kid you not. I was told the chai was made in house and I could tell. It had just the right amount of spice and wasn't overly sweet (though you can make adjustments). I'm definitely adding Cupanion's to my list of favorite brunch spots! I'd recommend getting there early because the space is small and fills up fast.

This is one of my favorite breakfast spots! The dishes are so flavorful here, even just a dish as simple as a scrambled egg! I do wish the location was bigger to accommodate the weekend lines and table needs, but that doesn't draw from the experience too much. Love their coffee and specialty lattes as well. The service is always so great - everyone is very friendly and patient.

Great outdoor space with large fountain. Great food . I'd recommend it. Easy parking next to Kroger

Food is fantastic. I tried the fried chicken sandwich which comes with grits. Also ordered brown sugar cinnamon latte and turkey bacon. Everything was delicious and well cooked, well seasoned. Definitely recommend and will be back myself :) The place is small so you may not want to do large groups. There are tables outside.

It seems that Sunday's are my go to days for going out to eat for breakfast. This Sunday I was trying to find a new place to try. My first choice was buttermilk kitchen. When we pulled into the parking lot it was clear the wait was long. I asked the parking attendant and he said the wait was about an hour and 20 minutes!! Of course I was ready to eat ASAP so this was not going to work. I hopped on Yelp to see what was near and ran across this spot that had great reviews. I called to see if there was a wait and I was told there was not one. The restaurant is located in the Kroger plaza off of Roswell road. It's in the lower level of the plaza. They offer both inside and outside dining options. Note that the outside options do not really offer much shade. Since it was already what felt like 1,000 degrees outside we opted to dine inside. When we arrived there was only one other patron present. However, it appears that we beat the rush. They were pretty full when we left. However, it's not a large space so it does not take many people to fill it up. We were greeted upon walking in and handed a menu. After determining what we wanted we went to the counter to place our order. I ordered the fried chicken biscuit and my beau opted for the smoked salmon breakfast. I ordered a chai latte with almond milk and he had a bottled orange juice. The bottle is $3 ca $5 for fresh squeezed. Our meal came up to roughly $40. Our meal came out in decent time. Let me dissect my meal. The fried chicken was cooked to perfection. It was crispy on the outside and juicy in the inside. It was also seasoned very well. The sweet potatoes biscuit did not impress me. It was soft, but bland in taste. . I only ate half of it. The honey butter--- sweet and salty, perfection! The side of grits had a flavor out of this world. The addition of asparagus is something I would have never thought to try. My only complaint with the grits is that they were extremely watery. I prefer thick grits. That's my fault for not asking about the consistency of them. My beau said he enjoyed his meal. Honestly I was so satisfied with mine I did not bother trying his. This place is a gem! If you want good good, and service don't hesitate to give them a try.

The meaty cornbread Benedict option is just what you want if you're looking for a nap afterwards. Chix biscuit w grits or Veg hash were just right n the challah bread pudding was a great breakfast dessert. It was like the goldilocks n three bears breakfast, each alone didn't quite do it

Touch situation here..... I'm torn between keeping this awesome spot to myself or Yelp away so of course I have to let everyone know! Guys, I kid you not, the best little spot for breakfast, cafe, snack, yummy treat, chill, and enjoy locale. So, I call before going anywhere now cuz, that's the new norm for now. The girl who answered the phone was VERY professional and answered exactly and only what I wanted to know. I was like "aw she was so profesh, she must be the owner or something". She let us know everything on the website was updated as to what they have currently available. Perfect! We pop in, the hub and I. Everyone has masks on and Purell available (thank you). Empty seating inside and some outside seats too. The guy wearing the Blue mask was super friendly, focused, and attentive. We ordered the avocado toast, pancakes, and eggs/bacon on the side. Now, I saw the pics online and they looked really good but I'd never been here before and didn't have any idea what to really expect. The food coming out of this little cafe was not only amazing looking but very good. My toast was a whole plateful and kept me full for so many hours which is rare. Kudos to the chef. One last thing I noticed is that they used really good ingredients and are not selling is short. I will be back here for sure! Not sure who the owner is here but they are doing great things!

It's a no for me dog. I will give them another try cause their rating is so high, but tuna will never be on the agenda again.

The food is amazing. The honey lavender latte and sweet potato biscuit are both a must.

I've had this spot bookmarked for a while now so I finally decided to check them out. I ordered the sweet potato chicken biscuit that comes with a side of pimento cheese grits. The biscuit and the grits were so flavourful and filling. I will definitely be returning to try some other menu items. I liked how they offered both real and plastic silverware. All staff members were taking covid precautions and wearing their mask properly.

Sunday is always brunch day for me so I'm always trying to find a new spot. So this Sunday I decided to try Cupanion's Kitchen & Coffee. They serve breakfast all day which in itself makes it my kind of place. I placed my order online and when I got there it was ready for me and the server greeted me with a warm friendly smile. They are located in Sandy Springs off of Roswell Rd in a busy shopping plaza with plenty of parking. The decor is simple, clean, and cozy. I had the Blueberry pancakes with strawberries - while the pancakes were airy, and super moist but nothing special. I was disappointed there were no blueberries baked in or compote to go with. I mean what's the point of just putting blueberries on top of the pancakes? Sweet potato biscuit the biscuit was good but definitely shouldn't be $4. Grits - the grits were so good creamy and cheesy.

We are so happy to have found this delicious coffee shop while visiting in Atlanta. The hot chai tea was super tasty & made just how we like it, thick and sweet. The medium roast pour over coffee was perfect in every way- the roast was so flavorful! There were so many options, I cannot wait to come back here!

I really wanted brunch food and was not in the mood to cook. Thankfully Cupanion was already saved on my "want to go" list so it wasnt hard to pick a new place to try. I ordered the fried chicken biscuit and it was fantastic! They use a sweet potato biscuit which is dense and hardy (but not to the point where you can't move afterwards). The biscuit by itself is good and is even better with the butter they provide on the side. The chicken had a nice crust and is well seasoned. They give you a really large piece too...the sides hang off the biscuit. After trying the biscuit and chicken separately I bit them together as intended. The sandwhich as a whole is just a good time. I also asked for a side of jam, so with the butter and jam the sandwhich truly is a knockout! It comes with pickles too...I really dislike pickles & thankfully they were placed on the side. However, I tried a bite with pickles just because and it actually wasn't bad. Their pickles tasted fresh and not overly vinegary which made them okay. The sandwich comes with a side of cheese grits that are topped with bits of chopped asparagus. It's such a unique thing to put on top of grits but it really works! It also tricks your mind into thinking you're eating something remotely healthy. I ordered the honey lavender latte to wash it all down and it was superb. Very soft and sweet in flavor. Makes your tastebuds feel a sense of zen. Other notes: -Cupanion is in a plaza with Kroger and other shops so there's plenty of parking -The employees are kind and work fast -Food is well packed to go

Blessed that I got to visit Cupanion's, I love their food and coffee. I ordered the Iced Shaken Bon Bon coffee the first time I went, and now I order it every time I go. With the food, I try different things every time, and it never disappoints me. Service have been good in each moment, and the ambiance helps giving you a great experience.

Food is fresh and delicious! I come here for lunch when I get the chance to leave work and they haven't disappointed yet

Cupanion's is our new favorite coffee place in Atlanta (up there with Star Provisions and Chattahoochee Coffee). Their coffees and teas are exceptional. We've had the Shaken Bom Bom, the Chai Tea Latte and the Honey Lavender Latte many, many times. We absolutely love them. They also serve delicious breakfast and lunch options. Our favorites are the Breakfast Fried Chicken Biscuit (perfect fried chicken, crunchy sweet potato biscuit that comes with honey butter, a side of pimento cheese grits and sweet pickles), the Smoked Salmon Breakfast (good portion of salmon with toasts, cream cheese, capers, onions and a side of scrambled eggs) and the fried chicken sandwich that comes with sweet potato fries. These plates are to die for!

Located in the large strip mall with Kroger on Roswell Road. Plenty of parking, though you may have to walk a few rows down. There's outdoor seating as well as inside. Went around noon on a Sunday and it was busy without being packed like some of the well known brunch places. Had an iced latte that was very smooth, had a good taste, but wasn't too strong. I normally don't get fried chicken for brunch, but decided to go with the sandwich on sweet potato biscuit. My side of grits came with cheese, asparagus and minor greens. It was a nice change of pace from the more traditional types. I just wish they didn't use a ramekin that was so short; the grits wanted to flow out the minute I scooped my spoon in. As for the chicken, wow! Tender and juicy on inside, nice crisp outside. Loved the different flavor of sweet potato; and the honey butter! OMG, I love it. Who would have thought the simple combo of sugar and butter would go well on a fatty sandwich!? Literally, every restaurant should provide this now. Or at least I'll make it myself! It's not really full service, as they just bring you your food to the table, and that's it. No issues here though. My major gripe is that I felt it was just a hair too expensive. It came out to $19 per person for my entree and drink. The food tasted great, but I just felt like the overall vibe of this place didn't go with the set price point. Maybe just a few bucks less, and it would have been five star.

Cupanion's Kitchen + Coffee is a breakfast, brunch, and lunch restaurant and cafe that opened October 2018 in the Fountain Oaks (Kroger) shopping center on Roswell Rd inside the perimeter. It replaced longtime tenant Cafe Posh. Cupanion's is the creation of husband and wife Rob and Patricia Homma Kapusta. Rob and Patricia have worked at various high-end establishments and as personal chefs for A-list movie stars (Tom Cruise, Chris Pratt, and Mila Kunis among them). We visited for Sunday brunch and really enjoyed the the food, drinks, and service. We showed up around 11am and the place was already pretty busy. The restaurant isn't very big. I guesstimate there's seating for maybe 30 customers, mostly at tables plus some countertops against the storefront windows. The setup is fast-casual; you order and pay at the counter. There are coffee, tea, and grab-and-go items as well. I was told business picks up at 11:30am, but it looked pretty popular the day we came. There was a steady stream of customers the entire time we were there. Some parties had to wait for a table. The interior is simple with a clean, fresh look. It reminds me of a contemporary cafe more than anything. Cupanion's serves breakfast all day. Breakfast entrees (about $8-15 each) include items like quiche, omelets, and pancakes and sides (about $3-4 each) such as cage-free eggs, chicken sausage, and different kinds of breakfast potatoes. Lunch, starting at about $8-17, consists of various soups, salads, and sandwiches plus entrees like fried chicken and grilled salmon. There are $9 kids meals too. On the beverage side (about $2-5 each), they serve espresso drinks, a decent selection of small-batch drip, cold brew, and pour over coffee, and various teas including organic Tea Forte brand teas. Here's what we had: Breakfast items: * Charred corn on avocado toast ($9) * Cowboy Benedict, braised beef, corn bread, guajillo hollandaise, poached eggs ($14.90) * Fried chicken, sweet potato biscuit, honey butter, pimento cheese grits, asparagus ($14) * Challah bread French toast casserole ($10.50) Coffee and tea: * Iced caramel macchiato ($4.95) * Rakhi's chai tea latte ($3.30) * Pour over coffee ($4.25) In general, both the food and drink were good to great. The ingredients were fresh and high quality. Everything was presented beautifully with a fine attention to detail. Each plate/cup had a handcrafted look to it. Along with a generous avocado spread and charred corn, the toast came with (what I believe was) cotija cheese, slices of radish, and sprouts. I love sprouts and thought they were a nice touch. The toast was delicious. My only knock is there were only three slices of toast and I think there should've been one more. The Cowboy Benedict was excellent. This might be the most hearty and filling breakfast item on the menu. It was a colorful dish served in what looked like a black cast iron mini server. The eggs were perfectly poached. The chunks of braised beef were tender and savory. The guajillo hollandaise, presumably made from guajillo chilis, packed a flavorful punch. A whole, cooked jalapeno was also served with this dish. The fried chicken biscuit was very good. The use of a sweet potato biscuit made it unique. However, I think the biscuit could've been better as it was a tad too dry and crumbly. The bottom half of the biscuit fell apart as soon as I picked it up to eat. The fried chicken was tasty, appetizingly crispy on the outside with good flavor. Along with a side of honey butter, the biscuit also came with side of sweet pickles (I think they were bread and butter pickles). The honey butter was terrific. The pimento cheese grits that came with the biscuit were wonderful. You can get these as a side on their own ($4) and I highly recommend them. I can't recall having pimento cheese grits before and these were well done. They were smooth, creamy, flavorful, and very satisfying. The Challah bread French toast casserole was outstanding. Wow. The French toast was topped with fresh, ripe, sweet fruit (banana, blueberries, strawberries) and powdered sugar. On the side were syrup and (I believe) crème anglaise. When everything was combined, the casserole was delectable; sweet and rich, pretty much like a dessert. Something else that was pretty much like a dessert was the iced caramel macchiato. It was made with two shots of espresso, milk, whipped cream, and caramel sauce. So good (and very sweet). Rakhi's chai tea latte was fantastic (they should really just call it a "chai latte" because "chai tea" translates as "tea tea"). This one was served hot, but it can also be served cold. It was topped with cinnamon and decorated with a mint leaf. Like the other food and drink here, it was photogenic. Service was stellar. The chef-owner Rob took care of us. He even brought us a bottle of his homemade Tabasco sauce to try. I put it on my fried chicken biscuit and it was yummy. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

When you graduated high school or college, did you ever wish the best for your classmates, and hopefully one of them could do something cool with their life, or make an insane amount of money and be like, "yea dude, I went to school with Usher and Antonio Reid (LA Reid's son)" (which I actually did for a few months). My brother in law, went to school with the founder of Shane's Rib Shack. I am sure we all have the moment. I am talking about this now, because I went to culinary school with Patricia, the owner/chef (along with her awesome husband Rob) of Cupanion's. And to be honest, I couldn't be more proud of her. A little known fact about her- in 2002, she was named the "Best Teen Chef in America". So, we all had high hopes for her. She graduated on time, stayed focused, and travelled the world. I had always been impressed what she has done in the kitchen. Then, she found a great guy and put an awesome concept together and made it a reality. I am so glad I had the pleasure to check it out. You may think I seem biased, but honestly, the meal I had there was one of the best brunch dishes in the Atlanta area. I will explain momentarily. Located just ITP in the Kroger shopping center near Mt Paran Rd in Sandy Springs, this place is located next to a new Tasty China. The sign is big, you shouldn't miss it. The place is cozy, and filled with white walls and bright woods- you come here for breakfast/lunch/brunch. Grab a menu, and then you are greeted by Rob, the mastermind with wordplay. He is a clever guy- and he knows how to garden, and pick ingredients. Place your order with him, then Patricia will work her magic in the kitchen. They have all sorts of coffees and drinks, but since I usually am hopped up on caffeine pills, I stick to bottled water (they do have tap too). They do have quick sandwich options as well, if you are in a rush. The place is small, which is nice, because if you can dine in, you are part of a lucky exclusive crowd getting to experience Patricia's cooking. I ordered a few things (shocking). Just look at Daniel B's pictures, he took plenty of pictures of my food for me. I ordered the chicken on a sweet potato biscuit w/pimento cheese grits and asparagus, and also a challah bread French toast casserole. First of all, I was impressed by the presentation of both items. From the silverware to the dishes to the garnishes, everything was plated to the T. I almost did want to eat anything, but I was HUNGRY. My biscuit was great. It held together nice, and the chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked. There were even pickles that I snacked on. Now, Rob, made his own spin on tabasco sauce, and I loaded up my grits with it. It had a nice zing to it. Those grits were something special. Now, it was time to try the French toast. Mind you, that biscuit plate was filling. I am not a big fan of fresh fruit, but it meddled wonderfully with the syrup, crème, and bread. The caramelized banana was perfect. This might have been my favorite French toast I have had, anywhere. I want to know what you think! I was glad to have visited. I told her the only downfall for me is where I work and where I live. And trying to get there in morning rush hour is awful. But honestly, it won't be too long before the secret is out on this place- all those years of hard work have paid off and it shows! Best of luck and keep kicking ass! Not to be missed!
