D Cafe and Catering

The best French toast I’ve had in a LONG time! It is a must try! My partner got the shrimp cakes and was also in love with the dish. This cafe is spacious, and cute! Michelle, our server was very kind and helpful. Stop by for an amazing breakfast/brunch! We will be coming back to try lunch items soon!

If you’re looking for a great soul food restaurant with a comfortable family staff and atmosphere … D’s is the place to be! The Food is so good you will return and tell your friends. Then BRING your friends and especially your family! It’s also an amazing Event Venue and has an outside patio with privacy and a clean outdoor eatery experience! I think they can do almost anything you request! The owner Ms. Devotis is the warmest person you will ever have the pleasure to meet. So shout out to her and a fabulous team and dining experience with Personality and Class. Thank you D’s Cafe for hosting me and my family. You couldn’t have done a better job! 🤩 💛👍🏾

The service is awesome. The taste of the food is incredible 😋. Scrambled eggs are fenomenal, same as the fried chicken 🍗. The best grits I have had. Everything with the oerfect touch of seasoning. Next time I visit Atlanta I will be back for sure

I love the down to earth atmosphere here. Home style cooking and sweet women with amazing personalities. The food tops everything and was delicious and I would definitely recommend and return. I had French Toast with eggs and my husband had salmon croquettes with grits…and hands down closest to grandma’s than you can get anywhere else. So if you’re out in Atlanta stop in and have some home cooking here. You won’t be disappointed!!

I live in the neighborhood and decided to stop in while on a walk with my son. This Cafe is so cute and spacious! The food was great and the customer service was amazing. (We had the crab cake breakfast) We decided to dine in and the ladies here were so sweet and accommodating to my little guy. This will be my little go to breakfast spot from now on. Im thankful for them sharing their space and love with our community.

The server was very new and you could easily tell. After ordering, he said our order back to us and still forgot several items. My fiance shrimp and grits definitely wasn't worth the price ; only 7 shrimps sitting on top.a big bowl of ok grits. Her biscuit tasted a day old that was microwaved. I ordered the salmon patties, grits & eggs. Patties fried hard but meaty & flaky inside, eggs were good, grits were hot,cheesy. The food wasn't brought out all at the same time. We had to wait like 10 minutes for our son food to be received. It was only 3 other people there. Not very impressed, fiance said she wouldn't go again, so like the saying goes, happy wife happy life. Just my opinion

I don’t know where to start I ate here for Mother’s Day yesterday when I say this food was so good I got the piedmont pancakes and my mama go the chicken and waffles everything was so good I can’t wait to go back and customer service was awesome not busy but the best food in town we ate my our food so fast I forgot to get a picture lol and the kids also loved it

D Cafe catered for our company lunch and it was incredible! Both the pork and the chicken bbq was excellent and all the sides were outstanding, I'll be back for those sweet potatoes!

This wonderful lil gem of a restaurant is owned by an amiable, joyful and wonderful sister duo. Their service and attention to detail is exceptional. The food itself is absolutely DELICIOUS! The catfish was perfectly seasoned and crisp. The Mac & cheese was creamy and the collard greens were scrumptious and vegan. Those with me had the French toast and the salmon cakes. I was able to try some and equally flavorful.

You shouldn't take reservations when you are closed. I got an email confirmation and took my company from out of town to your restaurant on Sunday, only to see a little cardboard sign stating you are closed for the next week or so. Stop taking reservations when you are closed!

It says open on Sunday, made reservation, Got reminder email and text Drive 28 miles and it is closed

10/10 lived everything about this place. We were welcomed by who I think was D herself upon entering, and were able to sit immediately with a group of 7. The service was fast and friendly as well as knowledgeable and very familiar with the menu items. The drinks came in a timely fashion as we enjoyed the upbeat music and our food all came out perfectly. From the chicken and waffles to the midtown French toast... we also had the catfish and grits (both the fried and blackened) and the peach cobbler waffles. Everything was packed with flavor and hit the mark as far as texture technique and presentation go! Definitely would recommend and will return next time we're in town.

Quiet atmosphere on a cold Tuesday morning here in Atlanta. I was lucky enough to get a perfect parking spot close to the door. The server was an elder, and we loved her. We were a party of three (3). The funny thing is, we essentially ordered the same thing with very minor differences. We each had the salmon croquettes, grits, eggs, biscuit/toast. I didn't order any eggs and I also had a side of blueberry pancakes and home fries. The food was fresh, hot and really good. Prior to leaving, we met the chef and I believe he's the owner. I will bring the family on the next visit. Be sure to try D's Cafe!!

The food was great. The service was very personal. Everyone enjoyed their menu choices. I didn't try the variety of muffins, but judging from the number of people coming in requesting them, I am sure they are great as well. I understand that they also offer catering. You need to go and try them out. You won't be sorry.

We had D cafe cater our wedding. First I'd like to say that Ms. D was such a pleasant person to work with she listened to everything we wanted and made it happen. The food was perfect! Ms. D and her staff were very professional. The quality and flavor of the food plus amazing staff made it for a highlight of our night. Our friends and family Couldn't stop talking about it. I would love to thank Ms. D and her staff for such amazing service! If you are thinking about catering or even just brunch do it! You won't regret it!

I first stumbled on this place while listening to Jazz station 91.9 WCLK (love that station but I digress) where they had an advertisement. The ad caught my attention because I had driven by place many times and noticed the name on the door. I made it my business to research the spot online and what I found made me want to check them out. It wasn't until we went to another spot a couple doors down next to the Slutty Vegan called Augie's Cafe that made it a necessity for us to check out D Cafe. Now I will not deny that the food at Augie's is delicious as well, but the place is about the size of my carport with very limited seating and a slow waitstaff. They took so long to serve us at Augie's that we walked out. It was then that I remembered D Cafe and thus began my food relationship with them. Full transparency, I will say that while very friendly with down home charm, they are also slow with service but in their defense, it is family-run and the server not only serves but she also runs the cash register so take your patience with you when you go. Once you taste their food, you will be glad that you were patient as the food is made from scratch and quality takes time (and it is quality food). If you want quick or fast food, then there are a number of other options from which to choose but this NOT the place for you. They have other menu selections, but I always get the salmon croquettes, cheese scrambled eggs, grits, toast and a mimosa (or 2 or 3) and it is always on point! Nestled in the West End, the ambiance is VERY chill, unpretentious, and laidback and makes a GREAT place to go after church or after a night of hard partying and you are in need of a hearty meal to knock off a hangover. Or is equally wonderful to take a loved one for a romantic breakfast that you may enjoy at one of several table seating options available. Check them out. You will be glad that you did. www.dcafeatl.com.

Amazing! All I can say is AMAZING! Everything cooked right, nothing over, nothing under but cooked right and cooked well! Will come back here, even if I have to fly, walk or crawl!

D Cafe invited social media influencers out to celebrate their 8th year anniversary and it was absolutely amazing! I didn't get many photos because I was definitely having fun and eating good but I enjoyed learning about the cafe's history and mission. I love that it's family owned and that they have evolved over the years due to the communities support. They offer a event hall and cafe space with Atlanta themed dishes that they created over the years. If you ever need a new Black Owned restaurant to try or even a event space for a small gathering, I definitely recommend checking them out!

Food was good. Could be better but definitely satisfying. Ambience was cool with friendly people and music. Bar is open and breakfast all day. I will definitely comeback several times

My husband and I came for breakfast and were the first customers that morning. We were greeted warmly by the chef and took a seat. The place looks nice and cozy. I ordered fish and grits. They have haddock and Catfish. I picked the Catfish and it was perfectly cooked, so were the grits. I chose a biscuit to go with it. The biscuit was flavorful and soft. Everything tasted amazing, no salt or anything needed. My husband got the magnolia French toast, chicken sausage and a side of turkey bacon. He let me taste the French toast as and it was so flavorful, no syrup was even needed. While we were there, they had an event in their other space, and a men's fellowship meeting. It was busy, but everyone was attentive, warm, and welcoming. We loved how service oriented they were and we'll be back.

Stumbled onto Ds. Sweetest staff and great food! Catfish sandwich was delicious! Thanks!

Miss D's spot is legit. The food is great. There's ample seating and the owner is such a sweetheart. My homegirl and I stumbled across this place after deciding not to wait 2+ hours in the Slutty Vegan line. As we were about to head to our cars, we saw this place. The signage doesn't pop out at you on the first time so we literally almost passed this place by. They serve southern food but they have vegan options as well which my friend is. I ordered the salmon croquettes which I can never pass up and my friend got the vegan waffle, scramble and sausage. By the way, the make the sausage in house and it's good. The salmon croquettes were a good hefty size esp for the price. Y'all know how Atlanta can be sometimes! Charging folks $18 for two small patties. And the entree is served with grits, eggs (I got potatoes instead) and a biscuit. All for $13. Parking can be tricky though. There's no parking lot, only street so we had to walk but only a few blocks. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

My family and I came for the Mothers Day brunch/lunch special from 11 am - 4 pm. There was a pre selected menu and payment was requested upon reservation. It was $40 per person. I arrived at 12:15 pm and we were seated right away. The dining space was small and most parties arrived around the same time. There were no more than 50 people there and everyone's order was taken around the same time. There was a live band to keep the patrons entertained while we waited 2 plus hours for food we never ate. We had the option to choose from brunch (3 items) or build a dinner entree with the items listed. The brunch did not come with dessert yet it was the same price as dinner option. I ordered the steak and salmon, mac and cheese, collard greens and peach cobbler. All lunch meals were supposed to come with a salad. Meals also came with choice of lemonade, tea, or mimosa. No champagne was detected in the mimosa. At most restaurants, bring your salad out first... we never got the salad. My drink was never refilled. When the entree eventually came out at 2:48 pm it was cold and looked undercooked. The salmon was rock hard and covered in a cold cream sauce. The macaroni and cheese was not good (stouffer's tastes better). The collards was too salty. I didn't get my salad or peach cobbler. No one in my party liked their food. My cousin never even got her food. The waiter told her they had ran out of food by that point. Mind you she ordered the same time everyone else in our party did. As I observed other patrons, they did not seem as pleased with their experience either. I noticed everyone at a nearby table ordered chicken and waffles. They did get their food around 2 pm after waiting about 2 hours. Judging by their faces they were not pleased. I asked the woman next to me if she liked her food and she quickly replied "it's horrible." At this point many people were requesting to speak to the manager. I too was in line ready to ask for a refund. We asked the owner what was the hold up on the food. She told us she was short staffed. I totally understand being short staffed. What I didn't understand why that wasn't communicated sooner. They should have known how many people were coming because everyone there was required to prepay. Lack of preparation was obvious. My experience was definitely unforgettable. I wish the owner showed more empathy and was more communicative. There were more excuses than understanding. She had it seem as it was no big deal when my Mother's Day meal for my mother was a complete disappointment. The owner said we would receive a refund within 24hrs as we paid via PayPal. I will be updating this review to confirm receipt of my refund.

Ate here 3 weeks ago and it was fantastic! Food: omgggg best veggie burger I've ever had. There were fresh, not frozen patties with broccoli and carrots in the filling. The patty was not stiff which means it was really fresh. The bun itself could've been served on its own. My choice of side was the kale and collard (vegan) mix which was seasoned to perfection. My friend got a regular burger that they said was tender, juicy and flavorful as well. There were a lot of choices on the menu too (they serve breakfast all day) Service: great! Knowledgeable of the menu. Allergies, vegan products, etc. the owner came out at the end to check on us and she is the sweetest person! Parking: There is FREE street parking in front that is easily accessible *black owned *vegan/vegetarian friendly

If I could give this 0 stars I would. Worst breakfast ever. Waited 1.5 hours to get breakfast. And they messed up 3 of our orders, brought all our food separately so there were people waiting while others had their food for about 30 minutes. Waiter did not care at all about us. Had a horrible attitude like she didn't want to be there. A Food was very average. Nothing special about it. DO NOT come here

My family and I went for Mother's Day! I must say it was a quaint spot. A very intimate setting. They were very friendly and hospitable. The live music was pleasant. I really enjoyed myself. The food was amazing! I've had southern cooking here in Atlanta and when I tell you, it was all home made. The mashed potatoes were made from scratch and the brisket was tender and juicy. The shrimp and grits was the right portion. Collars and Mac and Cheese reminded me of my moms. Everything was seasoned well not salty. Now the one thing I would recommend is that they explain the dining experience. They do a family sharing style, I felt uncomfortable because a couple sat down and they had different food. I didn't know that the whole table was sharing all the dishes on the table. I ended up making my plate. And it was explained at the end of the meal how the dining experience was supposed to take place. The parking was great. They had street parking and a parking lot.

Had to try it since it was in the neighborhood. We support local when we can. My wife and I stopped in for Sunday brunch. 4 items on the brunch menu and I will say they are overpriced for what it is. Chicken and waffles were 5 chicken wings and 4 waffle quarters ($16). Wings were okay and the waffles weren't anything special. Looked dull. My wife got the shrimp and grits ($18). Not many shrimp over a large bowl of grits. I will say though that the sauce was very good. Good seasoning and spices. Service was slow as there was no one to greet us for about 5 minutes or so. Had to look around a corner for the waitress. Not attentive, had to ask for a lot of things like silverware, water, menu etc.

Tasty, Good value. Chicken was cooked excellently. Grits were super creamy. Delicious

D Cafe has become one of my favorite neighborhood spots to visit. When I can, I sit near the window, order breakfast, and read a book. No one ever urges me to rush. Mrs. D and others are attentive to all their customers and are a breath of fresh air. One of the things I love about Mrs. D is that she is open to suggestions and feedback....she even asks for it! So far, my favorites are the homemade biscuits and the shrimp and grits! I had the homemade cinnamon rolls, too. Huge! Too big for me, but would be a delight to someone with a sweet tooth. I haven't gone for lunch, but have heard great things about the lunch menu, too. Will update my review when I try the lunch options. Happy I live w/in walking distance! The only thing is if you're vegan, there won't be many (if any) options for you. However, if your pescatarian/flexitarian, this place offers great options!

I get lunch here just about every week. There food is amazing. I always get the chicken sandwich grilled with fruit. Their fruit is fresh fruit honey. Not whatever chick-fil-a be having. I tried the chicken and waffles today and I was a little apprehensive about not getting sauce. Didn't even need it

Simple menu, excellently prepared, robust flavor profile. An excellent neighborhood cafe experience.

Wow! Never ate grits without having to add salt ..amazing!delicious!. Fried fish cooked to perfection an I'm very picky..salmon patty fresh delicious,eggs just taste different like good different not to mention.The big ass biscuit.! I really enjoyed my food..Tihs is my 1st 5star review of a breakfast spot ever..I eat out alot.!

Can't wait to go back for the chili dogs. The fish and grits and the chicken wings were great.

As a native Atlien I love D Cafe. She has built a menu that reminds of the real Atlanta. From salmon croquettes to pork chop sandwhiches, D Cafe creates a friendly atmosphere that mixes the old with the new. The wait stuff are young and vibrant and the cook staff are beautifully seasoned Atlanta natives who know how to welcome you to the real Atlanta. Me and my boyfriend come here for brunch almost every saturday. The staff always makes great suggestions and the pricing is very fair. Would recommend anyone to come here!

Good food and vibe, the staff was very friendly. This is a great place to try new foods with a twist.

In-house freshly made cinnamon rolls are everything! This is a great locally owned breakfast spot. In house cinnamon rolls and biscuits made every morning. Chicken and Salmon are pretty good. The Atlanta Neighborhood menu is awesome.

Yum ....rode the path on the west side Beltline and remembered to try one of the restaurants...The restaurant is attached to another cafe so I didn't know which door to enter but I ordered the chicken and waffles and was delighted...can't go wrong with wings...had to add a little hot sauce but the waffles were like pancakes...

I arrived to D's Cafe at 7:06 pm for a pre-arranged, pre-sheduled event. We did not even see a waiter/waitress until an hour later. The food is great! Cheers to the one star, but the service is horrible. Very disorganized . . . Get it together people.

This restaurant is off to a great start. The local spot best known for brunch (Closed Sunday--that's a problem) feels like home and the food has a touch of a small kitchen to it. Biscuits and pancake batter made in the back. Both are more than acceptable--especially the pancake. The also make homemade cinnamon rolls that are tops when taken home and popped in the microwave for 30 seconds after a late night (I'm just saying). I also enjoyed the grits and eggs. Again, acceptable and leaning on the side of good...perhaps. On a second trip, I trip the shrimp and grits and I strongly believe the base is cream of chicken soup... like there were bits of canned chicken inside. Let's do better together on this one. The location has a local charm. Inside could use a little imagination and attitude. It needs to decide what the culture will be. Could also be a cute dinner spot. I'll be back more than once.

The food is really good (I had the turkey sandwich and collards) the space is super cool and a great place to have a meeting or get work done. The staff is really nice too. And parking is easy. #Winning

Food, service & prices are GREAT! The owners are a real PLEASURE to meet! I WILL BE BACK!!! Will CERTAINLY recommend to ALL my friends!!! Thank you D Cafe!

I attended an event there with dinner, Not only was I impressed with the food being delicious (coming from a caterer myself) But the staff and where some of the young staff come from was so touching for me!!! I don't mind a wait as we need more patience and we can find out more about the places we visit to understand why it is what it is, My only thing is its Not open on Sunday which is when I love to go check other places to eat and like to take others, but I shall be back!!! text: dgriggs to 90210

I originally ordered 2 plates only one was made so I ordered pork chops to go it was near raw and greasy terrible how could you even bring that to a customer and the portions are very small it would be ok if I was able to put tasty behind that but unfortunately I can't. You have to step up your game you're representing a black neighborhood

Greatest place on earth. Absolutely Love it & Ms. D herself was back there chef'n it up ! You get girl

Great food! Amazing service! I mean the eggs and grits were some of the best I've ever had! And the greens were the best I've had in a restaurant! Bj gave us excellent service and was very knowledgeable, I will be a regular!

Just finishing A fantastic brunch with eggs salmon patties grits and a biscuit. Enough food for two meals and all of it excellent! Service is very friendly if a bit slow but well worth it for a good meal when you're not in a hurry.

Love this place. Tried it for the first time this morning. Service was awesome, food was tasty and a great value. I can't wait to try other things on the menu. They even had a full-on coffee shop in the back which is a first for this neighborhood. I will be a regular here!

Professional service, delicious food made with love. Try D Cafe's catering services!

My husband and I walked up to D's for brunch on a Saturday morning. We had the Westend and biscuits and gravy with bacon and a side of grits. The bacon and gravy were delicious! The grits were tasty. The biscuit was pretty good, but a little heavier than I like. Service was quick and welcoming and they filled my husband's travel coffee mug right away. I really enjoyed the people and the atmosphere. They have tables outside, too, so you can enjoy the weather. Great local place!

Slow delivery but after I tasted the food it was well worth the wait! Great customer service as well! I will order again!
