Joy Cafe

We visited here for brunch after visiting the Atlanta botanical gardens. So happy we did, it was delicious! Every single dish we ordered was so amazing! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Can't wait to come back. Must try the shrimp and grits and the brisket tacos and the French vanilla latte was perfect for the cold weather! Love it here! Highly suggest if you come on the weekend expect a wait and come early if you can.

Absolutely delicious! Literally everything on their menu is incredible. The meatloaf is the best I've ever had and it's insanely massive so you'll definitely have lunch the next day! Cannot recommend them enough and the owners, Jon & Joy are the sweetest!

The server was extremely nice... even my daughter mentioned how she was informed on everything. The Christmas spirit was def in the air. The food was amazing. Christmas drinks were yummy! The patio was open & each table had a heat lamp and was dog friendly which was impressive! They validate parking as well. Def a great place for weekend brunch w/ mimosas! Beautiful Christmas decor!

If you like burnt, crispy pancakes and bad service, you should try it. After we were seated on the outdoor patio (on a humid day), we waited about 20 min just for water. (This was after the waitress initially greeted our table without placing water on the table.) I attempted to get it on my own from the cooler outside but they were out. This must have been mentioned to our server because she seemed to have an attitude the rest of the meal. We had to ask for water multiple times and when our food arrived, we still did not have napkin or utensils. Aside from the service, the were issues with our food. The pancakes were burnt and the potatoes were extremely hard. I would definitely try another place. Also, they automatically add 20% gratuity which is not an issue. The issue is when the service doesn’t match the amount charged.

The hospitality was a breath of fresh air. We had such a great experience here, and the food was off the charts delish! We ordered family style and shared several plates. The cocktails where great and the espresso was even on point.

We came for brunch on a Sunday morning, during the weekend of Atlanta Pride. It was rainy & chilly outside, and we arrived right before they got a huge rush of people around noon. We ordered Chicken & biscuits, Shrimp & Grits and of course Mimosas. Both were really delicious and filling and the mimosas were tasty. We sat close to the bakery selection & it was mouth watering but we were full after our meal so we missed out on those delightful confections. Our server was wonderful and prompt and the owner made her rounds as well to make sure we were satisfied. Highly recommended. The heartwarming part for us: my partner picked the restaurant bc my Grandmother's name was Joy, and they sat us next to the butterfly wall display. Coincidentally, butterflies are near and dear to his family in association with his sister who passed away. It was a really perfect memory for us and our lost loved ones during pride weekend. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

What a lovely spot! Tried it out on Easter Sunday and surprisingly the wait was less than 30 minutes (with no reservation). It’s $35 for a bottle of champagne + OJ so you can have a few mimosas at the table, but you may want to try some of their yummy cocktails! Their Belgian waffle is DELICIOUS, I devoured the whole thing. Their fried chicken and waffles smelled & looked really good - so unless you’re vegetarian like me, you should try it. My counterpart enjoyed the spicy chicken biscuit. Atmosphere inside is fine, but I’d recommend outside if it’s a nice day!

Went to Joy Cafe for Sunday brunch for my birthday today. Food, mimosas & service was amazing. Our waitress (I think her name was Sydney) made my day extra special by giving me a complimentary dessert!! The chef & the owner Joy both came out to talk to us. Would highly recommend Joy Cafe
