Needed a fast & small, yet solid meal while making my way around ATL. Someone hipped me to this spot so I pulled up my yelp app, reviewed a few photos, and gave it a go.
I parked on the street, dropped a quarter in the meter, and went inside. I'm always disappointed when small places like this don't keep the place fresh looking. I'm so over the "hole in the wall" thing. A damp rag, a bucket filled with industrial cleaner, a $27 gallon of paint from Home Depot...it takes so little. I've grown increasingly impatient with businesses that show little regard for how they present themselves. Respect me enough to keep it nice!
Anyway, the woman at the counter was pleasant. I wanted sorrel, but they were still making it, so opted for soursop instead. Too sweet and syrupy, but at 102 degrees outside, it lasted about 18 secs.
The coco bread tasted like it was made from scratch within the previous hour. It's absurd that growing up eating tons of Caribbean food in NYC, I would find some of the best coco bread I've had in my life in Atlanta, GA....the "dirty south".
The callaloo patty also had to have been made right there in the kitchen. Most restaurants buy them in bulk from somebody's granny, freeze them, and sell them as needed by the day. These tasted nothing of the sort. Overall, a delicious and satisfying meal with great quality ingredients.
If they took as much care with the upkeep of the place, this would be a well-deserved 5 stars.
