Meet the Indonesian Dessert Shop Winning Over Buford Highway | Eater Atlanta

"As Buford Highway’s first Indonesian dessert spot from the team behind several Indonesian food marts, this unassuming, cozy shop feels like a warm coffeehouse swapped for Indonesian sweets, where elders and families linger beneath family photos that tell decades of community stories and there’s no rush to decide. The Es Campur sparks childlike joy as an oversized bowl of shaved ice drenched in coconut milk, grass jelly, silky avocado, and condensed milk, all kissed with a splash of rose syrup—vibrant, playful, and irresistible. During weekend brunch, the pandan French toast makes a serious case for the best in town: a thick slice of milk bread stuffed with pandan custard, dipped in a pandan-rich batter, cooked until golden, and finished with palm sugar syrup, fresh tropical fruit, and whipped cream. For something warm, Bajigur—a non-caffeinated, coconut milk-based drink from West Java—is slightly sweet and rich, simmered with ginger for an unexpected bite and lingering warmth. Stroll in, soak up the easygoing energy, then check their social accounts for monthly specials (including weekend-only savory snacks) or reserve the Indonesian-style high tea with two seatings at noon and 3 p.m. ($47.50) for a decadent variety of Indonesian sweet and savory treats." - Nandita Godbole

We stumbled upon Gula Indonesian Desserts while traveling from California on a work trip, and what a delightful surprise it was! The desserts instantly transported us back home. Authentic, comforting, and absolutely delicious. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more special. You can feel the love and care in every bite. If you’re craving dessert or just want to try something unique and heartwarming, this place is a must-visit. We will definitely be back next time when we are in Atlanta.

I came for the bubur campur and I did not regret it. Delicious! And because I grew up having it served hot, kind Emma was able to serve it to me hot upon request. Super kind and truly wonderful for the token Malaysian far away from home. My husband got the cendol and my sister got the Es Kacang and teh tarik. Both said what they ordered were delicious as well! We will be back!

My boyfriend and I stopped by Gula to try their desserts after seeing it on Tiktok and it was so yummy! We’ve gone multiple times to get their Matcha Kelapa and it’s so worth it. Everything was priced very reasonably and the presentation is so good. The decoration is so cute and the place is always super clean with plenty seating. If you go, get the Matcha Kelapa and the Es Campur if you’re craving something icy😋!

An incredible addition to Buford Highway! The Gula Special was delicious and perfect for four people to share, such a fun colorful mix of textures and flavors. The staff were so kind, and the space has a great vibe. Excited to come back and try everything else on the menu!

Loved loved loved this place. I grew up eating these desserts my parents would made iykyk, so seeing a place actually serve it is fire. It’s not that heavy so you can big-back dinner and come here afterwards with no guilt 🙂‍↕️. Have tried 3 of their shaved ices and they were yummy in the tummy

Amazing variety of desserts that were the perfect sweetness level. This fills a hole I didn’t know Atlanta was missing. My favorite was the kolak (which also has a seasonal pumpkin version available). Very nice ambiance and great service too.

A cute cafe in Doraville serving Indonesian sweets. We tried the cendol with jackfruit which was the perfect sweetness. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is inviting. If you’re in the area looking for something sweet, the shop is highly recommended!

Gula Indonesia Desserts is as the name states: an Indonesian dessert spot! It is located in a plaza on Buford Highway, so it is in a great location for all things food. The interior is a bit small with some seating here and there, but it is aesthetically decorated with lots of earthy tones. The service is quick as well. We got the Dirty Matcha Latte and Es Campur. I liked the Es Campur as it tasted very familiar to me, kind of like a variation of Southeast Asian desserts such as the halo-halo and chè thái. It is a very refreshing and sweet dessert, although I probably could have done without the avocado topped inside. I would come back to try their other desserts and drinks!

Never had an Indonesian dessert place in ATL! Gula just opened about 3 weeks ago and replaced the old mango mango dessert place. We ordered Es Cendol and Bubar Campur. It was so unique and delicious. The Es Cendol was made of Palm sugar, coconut milk and then rice flour jelly. It tastes very similar to coffee but yet there's no coffee in there! It mixes very well with the pandan rice flour jelly. The Bubar Campur was great as well! With black sticky rice, pandan custard, sweet potato ball, taro ball. The combinations work really well and it was a flavorful combination. Will definitely come back

I was so excited to try authentic Indonesian desserts, and Gula definitely exceeded my expectations! The Es Campur was the fruit forward dessert that I have always loved while traveling in Asia. I have a friend from Bali, who said this is a very typical dessert there. The fruit on top of a rose ice was just perfect! My face was fully frozen by the time I finished it, but I could not put down my spoon! The staff were friendly and clearly excited that the place was packed so quickly. I will prob go back on a weeknight so it's not so busy bc word is definitely out about it!

Not too shabby. The 'durian crushed ice' was pretty good. I gave 3 stars cos they could have given more crushed ice. We grow up eating this , so the volume of ice needs to be more for a more complete experience of eating this dessert, if that makes sense .

I was NOT ready for this aesthetic cafe filled with delicious and beautiful desserts. This is Gula, the FIRST Indonesian dessert café in Georgia, and their soft opening is already changing the game. Think refreshing tropical treats you've never had before--like shaved ice covered in fruit and avocado, rich carmelized palm sugar and coconut drinks. Cendol, silky pandan jelly in icy palm sugar syrup, and shaved ice creations that taste like a vacation in Bali. It's sweet, it's cold, it's vibrant, and it's a flavor journey you can't get anywhere else. I'm obsessed. Amazing service also.

We were eating at Bobo Garden and saw that this place had just opened! It's a cute interior and the folks working are really nice. They also own IndoEats, the indonesian grocery store a few doors down. We tried the Cendol, which was great! We love the flavors and hope that this place can grow!

As I was walking past to get to another restaurant, Gula's sign caught my eye. As an Indonesian-American, I rarely see anything written in Indonesian out in the wild! So of course, I had to wander inside. What a sight to see in the U.S.! All my favorite desserts available! I ordered Es Cendol and it brought back so many sweet memories of being in Indonesia with my loved ones. That's the true power of delicious food! The cafe was so adorable and the staff were kind and attentive too. Would recommend -- for Indonesians looking for a slice of the islands, or newcomers to our culture!

Super aesthetic and cute spot! I got the cendol drink. It was soo good and fragrant. The pandan jelly was so fragrant and had a good texture to it. The palm sugar and coconut milk was such a good mix. Would definitely come back to try with durian. This drink was super filling as well. Will definitely be back and can't wait for the full menu.

This is my second visit @Gula. I love every bite. This time I brought a friend with me to try their desserts. Surprisingly, the owner "daughter" remembers my face. We both love our dish. "Es durian & es doger" not too sweet. This place becomes one of favorite place to stop by.

We got the Es Campur and the Es Buah -- both so delicious. Everything we saw on other people's tables also looked amazing. The cashier was very friendly and accommodating. It was a great experience and I highly recommend to anyone interested in Indonesian desserts! Had not tried anything like it before and have 0 regrets!

What a delightfully cozy and unique, family-run Indonesian café, located right on Buford Highway. This spot is perfect for both relaxing and studying (comfy seats, plugs and WiFi). The soothing music and the friendly staff make you feel instantly at home. The array of authentic Indonesian snacks and beverages will delight and surprise your tastebuds. I give this place my fullest recommendation. Make sure you stop by soon!

Was thirsty and walked into this new gem. I got the ES Kelapa Komplit drink. It was refreshing and delicious. I love the panda flavor and coconut. Will come back again to try more flavors!

Hands down, maybe the worst tasting pungent food I've ever tried. And super pricey for the size and disgusting taste. We threw out most of it because it was just inedible. I've been to Thailand, and they use similar ingredients in their desserts there and none of it ever tasted even remotely as bad as this place. In fact quite the opposite! What can I say...just the usual deception by SPONSORED TikTok influencers smh. People should start suing these fools for false/misleading advertising at this point. Somehow every single thing was unappetizing and we ordered like the five most popular dishes/drinks. So there is no mistaking it. And I guarantee you that no way on earth anyone liked this shi..stuff. Sorry, I refuse to believe otherwise. Yuck! Especially that nasty Indonesian fruit salad (rujak buah) that smelled so bad we all almost gagged. Apparently they use FISH SAUCE in it! Ewww! Imagine you order a bunch of fruits and then pour smelly fish sauce on top...and to not even mention that on the menu, that's just unacceptable! They write the description like it's a "sweet and spicy peanut tamarind sauce" fruit salad, so initially it seems edible, but they fail to mention the fish sauce to trick people into buying it. And to add insult to injury it was 10 dollars for a bunch of smelly cheap fruits...like wtf? Let me tell you it smelled HORRENDOUS. Like the smell when you open a garbage lid to take out the trash kind of bad. We couldn't take a single bite. And when we asked why they didn't mention this on the menu, they never acknowledged their mistake or even cared. Trash food and service. Don't trust TikTok y'all. Money down the drain with this one...
