Cute cafe with plush seating & mocha bear lattes
"Toast Noir Cafe in Buckhead is just a few doors down from the always-busy brunch spot run by the same team, Toast On Lenox. Come here for laptop marathons fueled by mocha lattes with cute ice bears." - jacinta howard, juli horsford
"This cafe sits a few doors down from its sister spot, Toast on Lenox. While it’s easy to assume it opened to accommodate the overflow from the perpetually busy brunch restaurant, Toast Noir is a solid coffee destination on its own. It almost feels wrong to plop down our stickered laptop on the faux marble table tops and settle our sweatpant-clad bottoms on plush, gold trimmed black chairs. But despite feeling like we’re on the set of an Architectural Digest feature story, the mood is chill—meaning we can take our time sipping our espresso. Plus, smile-inducing drinks like mocha lattes that have a cute ice bear on top are a good enough reason to switch up your usual coffee routine." - juli horsford
"Toast Noir Cafe in Buckhead is swankier than most coffee shops in the city, with gold accents and pretty drinks that steal the attention away from the cafe food, which ranges from really good to totally fine. It’s just a couple of doors down from the always-busy brunch spot run by the same team, Toast On Lennox, and works well for a laptop marathon or a light lunch with friends. Go for the $15 turkey club with turkey bacon on a soft hero roll, and splurge on a drink even if that’s not usually your style. We especially like the mint green and purple matcha with lavender (it's sweet and smooth) or the rich mocha latte with an ice bear that's so cute you’ll hate to see it melt. Food Rundown Seafood Gumbo - Toast Noir Cafe This gumbo is excellent. It has a perfectly darkened rue, and it’s spicier than average but that balances well with a slight up-kick in salt, which comes off as more savory than overbearing. It has large pieces of shrimp so it doesn’t take a lot to get one in a bite, and there are also large chunks of chicken breast, sausage, and shell-on crab. Turkey Club - Toast Noir Cafe Simple and solid. Served on soft hoagie bread that soaks up whatever caffeine you just downed—it’s not trying too hard, and that’s the point. photo credit: Sarah Newman Honey Butter Biscuit A great biscuit, roughly the size of a teacup saucer. It’s soft, flaky, buttery, and absolutely worth grabbing. Mocha Bear Latte - Toast Noir Cafe Easily the cutest thing on the menu: an iced teddy bear floating in a smooth mocha drink. It’s not just for looks—it actually tastes great. photo credit: Sarah Newman Lavender Silk Matcha This matcha is delicious, silky, and sweet—with a lavender blossom on top that makes it almost too pretty to drink (almost).

"With two locations in Atlanta (Buckhead and Midtown), Toast on Lenox brings a high-energy vibe with an indulgent menu. There are brunch classics like avocado toast and an acai bowl, but it’s the treats like strawberry shortcake French toast, with a strawberry crumble reminiscent of ice cream bars, that make Toast standout. Those who like a mid-morning cocktail will enjoy the “morning screw” with cold brew, Irish cream, and peanut butter whiskey." - Lia Picard, Henna Bakshi
"A sister concept from the team behind Toast On Lenox, this cafe in Buckhead serves light bites like sandwiches, salads, and smoothies. We've checked out Toast Noir, and we like lit." - nina reeder, juli horsford
