Ventured out of Atlanta to spend some time coworking with the amazing Yelp CM of Atlanta OTP, Alexa, and we ended up here! We initially planned to meet at another cafe but after struggling to find parking anywhere close by, we decided on this place and I'm so glad that we did.
TBB 122 is a gorgeous cafe that includes indoor seating as well as a lovely deck outdoors with a number of tables for those looking to enjoy the beautiful Alpharetta weather. I was so relieved that there were so many gravel parking spots nearby, parking was a breeze. As soon as I walked in I was hit with the most delicious smells of fresh baked bread and pastries, I wish I could bottle that scent. Pastries and sweets of all sorts were on display as soon as I walked in, although I don't have a major sweet tooth, I appreciate a good pastry and I'm so surprised that I held back and didn't grab them all for myself.
The interior of the restaurant itself is so lovely in a modern farmhouse kind of vibe with crisp, neutral accents all over. There were a few glass panels in the wooden ceiling that allowed natural light in and it was the perfect mood booster on a sleepy weekend afternoon. Alexa grabbed a table for us in the back near the bathrooms and with all of the pillows surrounding our booth-ish table, we were definitely comfortable. There were a few other guests inside and more came as we worked throughout the morning, but it never got too loud or busy, truly a lovely workspace. (But not many visible outlets! Wifi was on point.)
Our server was Della and she was incredibly patient as we chatted and worked throughout our visit - s/o to her! The menu was extensive, but not overwhelming beyond the delicious variety in drinks. The juices sounded so awesome, I regret not ordering one. We both ended up ordering essentially the same thing - a smoothie and the TBB breakfast which includes 2 eggs, avocado, bacon and potatoes, but I subbed my potatoes for grits. Within about 15 minutes, our food was ready and we had already received our smoothies. My smoothie was okay, not the best I've ever had, but I'm sure it was because I'm used to unnecessary sugar (via juice) in mine, lol. I'd order it again! My breakfast was simple, but delicious. Grits can be a tricky thing, but they got it right. I did ask Della for extra butter and was given the cutest extra cuts of butter topped with a bit of sea salt, definitely not from a grocery store stick of butter. Mixing my scrambled eggs with the grits was just the perfect combo to keep me nourished.
I really appreciated the attentiveness from Della and another lovely woman (her vibes made me feel like she was the manager) who checked on us and made sure we were having a great experience. Truly a fabulous experience through and through, I'd definitely stop back in when in the area.
