Henri’s Bakery in Buckhead serves up classic roast-beef sandwiches and a tempting array of fresh pastries in a bright, friendly spot with outdoor seating.
"If you see someone crying in Henri’s, don’t worry—it’s just another nostalgic southerner who used to come to the place with their parents when they were but a tot, and now the memories of shortbread with pink frosting are flooding back. Amping up the area with award-winning baked goods since before Buckhead was Buckhead, pretty much, Henri’s also has a gut-buster deli and a significant lunch crowd. While there, play the old Henri’s game, “How Many Local Politicians/'Power Players' Can You Spot?” They also have a Sandy Springs store. Don’t go there. Why in the world would you go there? Look for the classic “Henri’s” sign on Irby; it’s all you need." - Office of Brothers
"With locations in Brookhaven, Buckhead, Peachtree Corners, Sandy Springs, and Upper Westside, Henri’s has helped Atlantans get their pastry fix for nearly a century. While there are myriad options here, it’s impossible to go wrong with one of the higher-end pastries such as the cream horn, chocolate or French fruit tart, Napoleon, or chocolate eclair." - Lia Picard, Sarra Sedghi
"Buckhead may have changed over the decades, but the sandwiches and baked goods at Henri’s, which opened in 1929, have not. This is a good thing since no one seems marry deli meat, mayo, mustard, and house-baked bread quite like this café. You can line up at the counter to add toppings to your sandwich, but we don’t see the point since they’ve always shined without all that extra stuff. So grab a pre-made turkey on white or a ham and cheese on an onion roll, and then follow it up with a thumbprint shortbread cookie or a petit four.Location: 56 E Andrews Dr NW, Atlanta, GA 30305" - MATADOR_NETWORK
"Atlanta bakery institution Henri’s Bakery and Cafe includes four Atlanta-area locations now, all of which include fresh-made deli sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, and salads on the menu perfect for picnicking. Make sure to pick up some petit fours, cookies, or a dozen mini fruit tarts for dessert, too." - Eater Staff
"When it’s day four in a row of sad desk lunches and you never want to see tupperware again, go to Henri’s for a sandwich. Get the pastrami or the turkey po’boy to go, or eat in the courtyard to remind yourself what fresh air feels like. Everything is under $10, so grab a box of lemon squares or eclairs on your way out to share with your less lucky coworkers." - Sarah Bailey
