My Coffee Shop at Eastlake

A1 review I love it here! The owner has such a beautiful spirit. The daughter is good at what she does! They believe in getting to know their customers and likes. The grandson is a charm as well. Everyone is so polite! 1st time I had hash browns that were flavorful. Pancakes, salmon patties, eggs, and all so yummy! Sausage came straight from the farm I swear. Orange juice was very rich. 2nd fish and sautéed veggies. The veggies were very yummy. The fish was good a little too crunchy for me but I recommend it. 10/10 will get again and again The basil lemonade is the star!!! 10/10 butter pecan cake don't hurt yourself. 6/10 red velvet muffin was different The place is different throughout which I love. I hope the window seat is always available. I definitely will return often. I hate it took me so long to get by there. There's not one stranger in sight! Clearly you can see i can be greedy!!!

I never write reviews. This was one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. I was so happy with the service, everyone was so sweet and happy to help us since we're not from Georgia and are visiting Atlanta. This is such a hidden gem. The food is true to form. It is down home cooking. It was so delicious and my gf and I have never been so quiet during a meal before. It was amazing. I would have asked every single person in that kitchen to line up so I could give them each a kiss on the mouth because I have never experienced such a wonderful breakfast before. When I say, this was well worth the 11 hour drive and every single penny of this meal. God bless this place.

Got their iced carmello, best egg and cheese bagel with some hash browns. It was enjoyable and tasted good. the hash browns were VERY good. i just wish they had more of a selection on their bagels and put less butter on it as it was extremely buttery. which some might enjoy but i don’t think all do. there coffee however was genuinely perfect. it was perfectly sweet and wasn’t burnt. it’s so hard to find good coffee as at times they burn it or it’s too sweet or just something slightly off. but their coffee was amazing. would def recommend though despite my personal preferences.

Finally found a spot that serves authentic Southern food! We ordered brunch and had the fried fish and grits—absolutely amazing. The fish was crispy and seasoned just right, and the grits were creamy and flavorful. Their lemonade with basil is also a must-try—so refreshing and different. We will definitely order again!

Great breakfast spot! My absolute favorite thing was the grilled chicken biscuit with cheese egg added, and sausage gravy to dip🤤 I’m still dreaming about it. My fiancé got the omelette and enjoyed that, with his favorite thing being the biscuits. I tried the basil lemonade, and, although it had great flavor, it was far too sweet for me. Staff is great, lots of regular customers coming in which is always a good sign. Fun place with great freshly made food!

My husband and I stayed in an Airbnb around the corner and walked to this restaurant for breakfast. We were promptly greeted by Masiah . You order at the counter and they bring you your food. I had the salmon croquettes with grits and eggs/biscuit and a chai tea latte. My husband had the fish and grits with vanilla latte. Omg the food was delicious. The eggs were cooked to perfection and I think that’s the best latte I’ve ever had. Masiah was very attentive. I can’t wait to return.

What a wonderful experience this coffee shop is! I have to admit that I was impressed from the moment. I walked in the door… They have shelves of coffee mugs! That is significant because you can use any one of those mugs when you have coffee in-house! My group had multiple items from the menu. I had a breakfast platter and a side of biscuits and gravy. That was a lot of food! The big surprise was the banana nut bread-French toast… one of my friends ordered it and of course, I had to sample it! I will be getting it next time I go!!! I would recommend going a bit early because it does fill up after 11 but I’m sure anytime you go. You’ll be in for an extremely pleasant experience. this is definitely a five star out of five stars.

This is an awesome black owned, breakfast spot just outside of Atlanta. The food was delicious, the quality and quantity was good for the price. I enjoyed the atmosphere. Also had to get a gallon of the basil lemonade to try with my family and everybody loved it. I added some honey Jack Daniels and it was absolutely amazing.We will be visiting frequently, I highly recommend.

I've been here many times in the past and I can see not one thing has changed, it's the same wonderful customer service they've always had. The food is still on point as it's always been. Even the swings are still here. I ordered bacon egg & cheese on a nice buttery croissant with a frozen caramel latte which I enjoyed so much. My friend ordered the same thing on a buttery biscuit, this one was good too. There's no doubt about it, breakfast here has been a great choice consistently for years. There's lots of easy parking around the building. There is outdoor seating where you can still hear the music through speakers just like inside. They play the coolest music that will have you tapping your feet and just an overall great feeling. There's one thing I do miss, years ago there was seating like in a lot of coffee houses where you can lounge around and read a book or work on your laptop. I'm not sure if they have style of seating anymore because I did not go on the other side of the restaurant however the seating has changed throughout the years. It definitely doesn't take away from my Coffee Shop experience.

First time here. We did take out. Its a cute little spot in East Atlanta. BLACK OWNED. Good service (although it was slightly slow, just bring your patience). The food was good and seasoned! Parking is scarce! The aesthetic gives comfortable, chill, welcoming vibes. I'll have to try some coffee next time and actually sit inside to eat. OVERLL 3.5/5stars.

If you were to look up "hidden gem" in the dictionary, I bet this place would pop right up. Another stop on my Black owned coffee shop tour, and dare I say this one is my favorite. You need to be here, yesterday. Let's get into it! Location and Parking They are located in East Lake on Memorial Drive. Parking is free and next to the building. They do share the space with a few other businesses, but I've never had any trouble getting a spot. Venue and Atmosphere The space feels homey, the decor is brown and green and they have the cutest swings at the bar area. There are a couple of TV's throughout, usually on the news or whatever morning talk show is on. There's plenty of plug space if you need to do work, and the WiFi is free for all to use. There's also the best rotation of soul music playing throughout the shop, which makes the fact that you're eating some down home southern breakfast food all the more special. Food and drinks Now I've had multiple things off the menu, and so far there isn't one miss. The salmon croquettes are fried perfectly, and a little bit of hot sauce takes them over the top. The breakfast croissant was buttery and soft, the cheese was melty, and the sausage was amazing. The breakfast platter was perfectly balanced, and the grits were great. They're most known for their basil lemonade, my partner put me on. Now if basil isn't your thing you're probably not gonna like this. Even as a basil lover I was skeptical at first, but after that first sip my reservations melted away faster than a piece of ice on a Georgia sidewalk in the summertime. The basil balances the sweetness of the lemonade, and what you're left with is a refreshing drink that you're not entirely sure how they came up with it, but baby you sure are glad they did. I've also had their caramel latte, and as a fake coffee drinker who likes sweetness featuring caffeine, I can appreciate how it's made. I initially asked for extra syrup, but the barista politely told me I wouldn't need it then proceeded to whip me up a cup of sweet goodness. Service Service was quick and easy. When you come in you order at the counter then you take a seat, and when your food is ready it's brought out to you. When you're done someone will come and take your plate, and if you need a box (which I have on occasion or two) they'll bring it right to you. Truly though, my favorite thing about this coffee shop doesn't have anything to do with the food or drinks. It's the fact that when I'm here I feel an overwhelming sense of community. The patrons range from professionals dropping in to get a quick bite for lunch, people walking over from their homes, old friends meeting up for a catch up sessions, and everyone is happy to be there and is guaranteed to leave with a full belly. Verdict I've been here multiple times, and I plan on adding more times to that number. If you want a good breakfast, good service, and truly southern feel, this is the place you need to be. Make sure to check them out! Until next time!

I visited My Coffee Shop @ Eastlake since they served breakfast and I was able to work on some personal projects. I got there a little late since they close at 2pm so I only ate breakfast before they closed. I got the basics French Toast breakfast. It was good, almost like having homemade French toast. I tried the basil lemonade. It's a little on the pricey side at $5 but it was good. I will say toward the end the basil started being a little overpowering so I did not drink the whole thing. I wish they had a smaller size. I would definitely go back to do some work or for breakfast. There was only about 5 other people inside at the time but it was pretty spacious and the food came out quickly.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! great service, food and atmosphere! My wife and I had the catfish, veggie omelet and salmon croquette biscuit. EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING! We will definitely be back.

Quaint and chill. It really reminds me of my Granny's house on a Sunday. You order up front and then you can sit wherever you want. Everything I've tried is delicious. My favorite thing to order is the 2pc fish and grit combo with cheese (in my eggs and grits) w a salmon croquettes on the side. Y'all I can't explain how bomb and simple it is, and the sweet tea or basil lemonade is a must. The basil in the lemonade can be a bit strong but it is very good. And prices are very reasonable. I could just sit there and chill all day. I'll def be back soon

The food was GREAT! Those biscuits are bomb very very good . Service 10/10 I loved this place

Nestled right off memorial dr, this hot spot serves up a variety of delicious entrees or platters that are absolutely delicious. The interior decorum is inviting and the wait time is minimum. Great service and very professional. Recommend A+++ Chase

This was the most unexpected surprise. The food was perfect and I'll get into that, but I want to start by talking about Mrs. Maple who came from behind the counter to talk to and my girlfriend. She is the sweetest 83 year old and was insistent that I was a singer. She came to check on us twice during our meal and told us that she made the biscuits. Y'all. This was one of the best biscuits I've ever had in my life. This place was already 5 stars before she came over, but she made our meal even better. Love the salmon croquettes. Perfectly crispy on the outside. The scrambled eggs with were amazing. This food tastes like it came straight out of a loving grandma's kitchen. It's a great place to work too, they play music in the background but not too loud. Coffee was great. I had a vanilla latte and loved it. Not too sweet, not bitter or burnt.

This place is no frills good food and coffee. Service is efficient and friendly. The pancakes are some of the best I have ever had! Love that they have lots of protein options and that you select your own coffee mug for drip coffee. Lattes are great too! A great place for breakfast.

My friend took me to this place after a flight and it did not disappointment. It's pretty spacious and seemed clean and the staff members were polite and helpful. I ordered a piece of whiting, chicken and egg biscuit, hash browns, and Basil Lemonade. Everything was so good and the basil lemonade is absolutely amazing! Try this place out.

This place is a clear 10 out of 10 for me I love the food and I had a lot of love for the people they so cool and pure got to love people like this I hope everyone get to experience the love I receive from them

The order system requires payment when you order and asks for a "pre-tip" too. I don't think so. This a low budget joint with high budget prices. I felt like having a glass of lemonade but $7 is gouging. We drove so far we were too hungry to drive around hunting brunch elsewhere so we ordered the "Mr. Otis" which is eggs scrambled with cheese, turkey bacon, pancakes and water. We sat after searching for the least objectional table. The seating looks as if they got it from Goodwill. I take that back, Goodwill would be offended. I uploaded a picture in case you think I'm being harsh. There may have been one whole egg on my plate but certainly not two and it was so yellow I suspect that another customer got the egg whites and so mine may have been two yokes. The syrup for my pancakes came in those little tear off tubs the size of my thumb and they served me one for each pancake. I was so disappointed and glad I decided to leave a cash tip on the table instead of a pre-tip after experiencing the poor service. I left a nickel, no worries we will never return.

Very different from what I remember a few years ago. When you walk in now, there wasn't an immediate greeting and I was a little confused. Should I sit down for dine in or order first? Well you order first and grab a table if you're dining in, they have high tops, low tables, and two swing seats at the bar. A really good selection of breakfast items, and coffee. This is family owned, woman owned, and a black business....kudos to them for staying strong. So good to see they're still here after the pandemic. Food tasted like a home cooked meal, one that I could prepare at home. Fish wasn't very flavorful. Grits on fire!! Eggs, small portion but seasoned well. Free parking behind building.

I came here before a meeting that I was attending nearby, and was hoping to grab a quick bite to eat. It's a very warm and cozy spot, with a family feel. Parking is easy, there is a decent sized lot in the rear. You order at the counter and then you can either get it to go or to sit down. I got the iced caramello (iced coffee) which was super tasty! I'm taking away a star because it took almost 40 minutes for my simple bacon/eggs/cheese croissant to come out--while it was delicious, I don't know why it took so long. Luckily, I had a book. I want to try this place again, hopefully the wait for the food is not as long.

I've been twice and I will return soon! Location and Parking My Coffee Shop is located in Eastlake right before the Decatur border. Parking is free and located next to the building. Venue and Atmosphere The decor is "earthy" with different shades of green and brown. Coffee is served in ceramic mugs and you order at the counter as you walk in. You then take a seat and the waitstaff will bring your orders to your table. Service The entire staff was very nice and our food arrived quickly. Food and Beverages The salmon croquettes were fried perfectly, and I topped them off with some hot sauce. Their eggs are extra buttery and are some of the best I've had in a restaurant. Their toast is also buttered and toasted to perfection while the grits were creamy and cheesy. I love the basil lemonade; I get the large size every time I go. I cannot speak to the quality of their coffee, as I'm not a big coffee drinker. Verdict I will certainly be back next time I'm in the area!

The people working here are always very nice. When it's busy it can be really slow. I've had most of the things on the menu. The food is good.

I fell in love with my coffee shop at Eastlake, not because of the food, but because of Miss Mabel who works there. She is the sweetest lady I have met in ages and she had me grinning from ear to ear. That being said my coffee shop is a small establishment. When you enter, it's very friendly, and they welcome you to come to the counter and order and then you seat yourself and your order is brought to you. The food was good, it reminds you of what your grandmother cooks on a Saturday morning when you were a child. I had the salmon croquet breakfast that came with egg scrambled with cheese, grits and toast. The grits were a bit thick and under seasoned, and the eggs were perfect. The salmon croquettes were a bit overworked, but still tasted really good. But the best part of the meal was the AMAZING basil lemonade (it said so on the cup). It sounds odd, and if you don't like basil, this drink is not for you. However, I love basil, and when this bright green lemonade came out, I knew I had found my spirit animal. It is wonderfully basil-y and I loved it! Granted, the lemonade is super sweet, so I ended up taking it home and mixing it half water/half lemonade, but that wasn't a problem for me because that mean I got twice as much! I would definitely recommend visiting my coffee shop and checking out not only the food, but the great people that work there and make sure you say hello to Miss Maple!

Great food near our family members' home that we love to visit when we're visiting from Arizona.

Im just mad I didnt find this place sooner! About to cry to complete stranger because of the kindness and warm energy, Linda is amazing. This place reminds me of my grandmothers house completely comforting and food was chefs kiss. What a honor.

Today I went to visit this cute and quaint coffee shop off memorial drive and I was pleasantly surprised. I've always driven by this place with the intention to visit, I'm glad that today I finally stopped to visit. The shop gives off a very welcoming and inviting vibe. Linda provided great customer service and even offered me a sample of their delicious basil lemonade along with all of its benefits ( which I will be back to purchase). I ordered the buttery classic croissant breakfast sandwich with cheesy scrambled eggs and chicken sausage which was $8.00. Hands down one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had in some time. I also love that my food was pipping hot!!! A bonus perk. I also ordered the vanilla latte size small for $3 which was also quite delicious. Overall I had a great experience, and I will be back!

Have passed this place several times and never took the time to do my research. Boy was I surprised and upset with my self for taking this long to support this amazing black owned establishment. Amazing coffee and food options. Will be back this week! Ambiance was chill and welcoming...

I am really glad that I discovered this place out here. Had my eye on them for a couple days now and then when I finally came in I was definitely treated for a great surprise. First of all their Basil lemonade, I don't know what they're putting in here, but I was addicted from the very first sip. If they sold it by the gallon I would definitely buy it but besides that I grabbed their Otis special and had their banana French toast that was made on banana bread and loved it. I also grabbed their biscuit sandwich to go and it was really good. So far so excellent. Looking forward to my next visit.

The classy croissant breakfast sandwich is always a winner! The workers are always polite regardless if they're backed up or not. The basil lemonade is a must try!

I just hung up the phone with the rudest man I have ever tried to place a order with. Before I can get my order out this man told me to hurry up he got things to do. I was trying to tell him what kind of omelette I wanted, he stated he didn't care if I order from them or not and hung up the phone. I used to dine in at this place but NEVER AGAIN!! Worst customer service ever!!!!!

Stopped in for coffee and a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit. Pretty sure everything - including the biscuit - was homemade. Coffee was warm, but not scalding hot which is always a plus. Definitely recommend if you're looking for something new.

Boy Oh boy. My friend ordered this for us from Uber eats or grub hub. I'm not sure which. But I had Fish and Cheese Grits with the most buttery toast possible. They grilled it. It was delish. I had to add seasoning to my grits. But they were good once I did. The fish was still hot when it arrived. My eggs were good. My friend had salmon croquettes and devoured them. Definitely would order again if in the área.

I wanted a coffee and saw this restaurant and decided to stop, I'm so happy I did. The food came out quick and it was delicious. I had the salmon croquettes with grits and eggs, and i would definitely recommend. It came with a homemade biscuit that was buttery and flakey, my favorite! I also can't go without mentioning that the coffee was good too, they also have tea and juice options that I will be trying in the future.

Great food and service! I LOVE the coffee! This has become my favorite spot. Definitely recommend!

Ep. 15 of AntlantaEats This place was recommended to me by a friend who lives in that area. This is a hidden gem!! They mainly serve Breakfast/Brunch. I ordered French toast, Eggs w/ cheese and Turkey Bacon! (I say no to reg bacon ) it was delicious. I got to meet the owner very nice lady. They also have something I've never seen before and it was their BASIL LEMONADE! It is very sweet so if you're toning on sugar I recommend you add some water to balance. Overall it's a creative concept! This is a nice Saturday morning trip for your future reference. Here's my experience: https://www.instagram.com/p/CDJf_7JDuIM/?igshid=1dqj2w66oxx2b

Great food and coffee!!! The customer service is superb! This is a hidden gem... I will definitely be back!!!! I can't wait to try their famous Basil Lemonade on my next visit!! If you are ever in the area... give this place a try!!!

Had a Valentine's breakfast date with my son here. I like that it's a community based, small, minority owned business. The woman at the front was not friendly, but the gentleman was. The food was just ok. We both agreed my (Aunt Jemima) pancakes are better and I'm not the best cook. The basil lemonade was very tart. We weren't impressed at all. It's unfortunate. I deeply wish to have had a better experience, but this is honestly how we felt. Neither of us finished our food.

My Coffee Shop is a charming restaurant located in Eastlake. The menu consists of breakfast/brunch and lunch items. We came on Sunday around 11 and there was no wait. There was plenty of free parking in the rear of the restaurant. The entrees that we ordered were pancakes with hash browns and bacon and french toast with bacon and hash browns. The dishes normally come with eggs, but we were able to swap them out at no cost. I heard about their basil lemonade so I ordered that as well. The waitress let the other guests that I dined with sample the basil lemonade and they weren't feeling it. I actually enjoyed it. It was very different from any lemonade I've tried previously and it was very refreshing. The basil is pretty strong, but not overpowering and combined with the sweet lemonade makes for a very interesting drink. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food. The hash browns were a bit off and tasted like they mixed in onion powder. The French toast was much lighter than any version I've had. The service was fine as well. Prices were great and our bill was under $40 for 3 people. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to stop here, but it's a nice option if you're in the Eastlake area.

This Black owned business is a must! The food is delicious and the owners are kind and accommodating. I had the salmon croquettes and they were delicious. Great place to meet up and eat it to enjoy some coffee and work.

Service was incredible, location was clean, the food was AMAZING and the coffee was perfect. Great spot to eat, enjoy and work. I will definitely return.

The spot is cute but the breakfast was not as good as i'd hoped. I got french toast eggs and bacon and was let down. The coffee and basil lemonade was good - ton of sugar in the lemonade so Prepare to wake up.

This is my favorite breakfast spot. I love the fish and grits. The breakfast sandwich, the lattes, the basil lemonade. I mean everything I've had here is delicious like grandma is back there making it herself. The staff is friendly and always recognizes me. A really neighborhood spot feel. It's definitely a hidden gem. The grits are smooth and creamy and perfectly made. Parking in the lot direct outside so very convenient. I can't say enough about how much I like it. Also black owned, so I feel good about patronizing this establishment.

Most amazing coffee/ breakfast shop. So cute inside with the decor and the ladies are so Friendly not to mention the food is the best part. You must stop by

Great food. Great service. Takes some time to get food (15-30 mins) but it's def good and worth it. Staff is always friendly.

Lovely, lovely first time visit. Mentioned it was out first time coming and they brought us out samples of the infamous frozen basil lemonade. It's pretty tasty. Light and refreshing. Not too sweet. I ended up ordering one with my meal. I had an order of hashbrowns and my honey had the breakfast bowl. Both were delicious. I kind of wish the hash browns were real potatoes and not the frozen shredded ones but they were seasoned up pretty nicely so I didn't mind it too much. The bowl was so tasty. Good, homemade tasting eggs and grits. Definitely will be returning as I just moved back to the neighborhood. Love this black-owned place!

Oh my my my! I had the salmon croquettes and they reminded me of my mother's delicious southern cooking! The food was hot fresh to order. I will most definitely be back again and again!

I meant to take a pic when I first opened it but obviously I couldn't wait. This place has become my go to for coffee and breakfast on my way to work. They have amazing customer service, and the ladies are always so sweet. I just wish they were open in the beginning of the week so I didn't have to go to Dunkin' Donuts lol

This is my second post. The word is getting out about this place. At first I came at 11:30 there was no parking. This is the first. So I drove down the street to find something else and decided to come back and see if something opened up...NOPE! So I just parked along the fence. There are a couple of outdoor seats available. I only waited for about 10 minutes which wasn't bad as the place was packed. The ppl here are always ALWAYS really nice. I ordered the French toast with scrambled eggs w cheese and pork bacon and basil lemonade. MMMAAANNNNNNN!!!! That stuff is soooo good!!! I get every time I come. It's sweet and swangy and they use fresh basil. I usually order the scrambled eggs with cheese out of default and usually don't eat them but these eggs were really good. I don't even eat all my eggs when I cook them. I give them to my dogs. Also the French toast tasted better this visit. The first time I had them I wasn't impressed. This time they were really good (not as soft as I'd like but the flavor was very good). And the bacon was crisped PERFECTLY!

Adorable. I've been meaning to come here for months, ever since I met the owners at their Kirkwood wine stroll booth. I was blissfully on my own one Saturday morning and decided to take myself out for breakfast. They have a nice selection at reasonable prices and everything was well executed. I had fish and grits with added bacon. Highly enjoyable. The latte was well done too. My over easy eggs were perfect. Very warm and friendly Mom&Pop style service. Good crowd at 9 am on Saturday but not oppressive. (They probably get more crowded later). Try it!

Okay customer service and okay food. My partner had been wanting to try this spot for months. For some reason, I expected to be blown away but no such luck. Ordered the fish and grits, expected more seasoning. Might give a second shot, I am curious about the basil lemonade I saw a sign about while leaving.

Consistent, fresh, delicious, pleasant, hot food, cold basil lemonade, ....did I say delicious? Been going here for at least 4 years now and have never had a bad experience, or anything even close to it!! My FAVORITE coffee shop!!

The food here is soooo good! You have to try the Mint Lemona Great customer service. It's really busy on the weekends so during the week is my favorite time to go.

Everything you could want in a neighborhood coffee shop - I absolutely love this place! They provide a warm and friendly atmosphere - always greeting you with a friendly hello when you walk in the door =) The decor is fun inside - they just added swings to the bar, which I love! Make sure to grab a basil lemonade while you are there. Even if you don't want it then - throw it in the freezer and it makes for an AMAZING icee later! For breakfast - my go to meal is the classy croissant breakfast sandwich w/ sausage...but you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu!

This place is on point!!! It gives you a warm homey vibe and the food is super for Breakfast and Brunch!! Don't forget to get a frozen Basil Lemonade, it's like nothing you would imagine. It's slushy and taste like your Older Sister Homemade Lemonade with all that twang we like !!! I can just drink on this all day and just keep adding water. But the spot closes early afternoonish so you better not wait it, and the parking is located in the back. We broke bread and it was very economical besides the fact we bungee every weekend. I love supporting Lil Home Grown Establishments. Nice spot!!!! Oh girl and the family be cooking !!!!
