    Amazing atmosphere, had a real South African🇿🇦 get together for rugby match🏉. Second time now, All blacks and Wales... finally got a win! Great South African snacks,🥩 Braai "BBQ" boerewors roll 🌭"real hotdog", Milktart, peppermint fridge tart...and allot of goodies from good old SA. ☕ Also real latte and cappuccino...not these Keurig, Starbucks nonsense. Come over and have some fun. "Dankie manne vir n lekker jol!"🎉🇿🇦🏉

    Coming to this cafe is like stepping into another world. Not only do you get a sense of South Africa but you also get classically soothing music, a vast healthy menu that can fit all eaters, and a swift and professional team. 🌟the veggie sandwich was delicious 🌟the teas are very tasty and healing 🌟 it is not just a regular cafe, it is a wellness space I always feel great when leaving here and I truly recommend checking it out if you are ever in the area

    Ok, i have visited a lot of cafes before, but this has to be one of the very best of them all. I ordered a Cappuccino and a Veggie Panini. Coffee was perfectly balanced, and the panini was out of the world amazing. I mean i am still trying to figure out how they made the panini soo delicious with so few ingredients. Michael was my server and he told me that it is a Portuguese and european inspired cafe, and they make their own bread without adding any preservatives - and you can taste the difference. This cafe has ruined me for all the other cafes lol. I will definitely be visiting this more frequently now. I guess the only thing i found odd was their music which was playing outside, they have this upbeat kind of pop music playing, and i thought it didn't go with their cafe's theme. If they could just play soothing coffeehouse music then it would be perfect. I can share some great playlists if they ask lol. Oh, and they have this whole white theme which looks very posh and cute - FYI

    Delightful little South African cafe with excellent coffee, bakery and lunch menu items. The location oozes character. It’s an old home remodeled into a really nice breakfast and lunch experience. The outdoor seating area is surrounded by trees, the decor and furniture is spotlessly white. We ate the tuna sandwich and the tuna melt. Hummus and crackers, everything was delicious. Cooked to perfection.

    We had a party of 3 for brunch at 11:15 am on Monday, 4/24/23. We made a reservation on Seated, an app where you earn money back on meals at certain restaurants (use my code erin2109 and we both get $10!), so we got a percentage back! Our waiter was super friendly and sweet. The restaurant is airy and bright. They have a lovely outdoor area with a lot of tables. The waiter explained that the restaurant is part of a wellness compound. Here’s what we got: Chai Latte ($5.95), Double Latte ($5.50), Breakfast Plate ($16.95), Breakfast Panini ($17.95), and Salmon Toast ($20.95). Everything was good, but the prices are outrageous, especially since the Breakfast Panini and Salmon Toast didn’t even come with a side. Because of the Seated app, we got 19% off our meal, which was much more reasonable. Without the percentage off, it’s not worth it. I would only go if you use Seated!

    Cafe I Am is adorable and welcoming. She made me the most beautiful and delicious iced coffee I've ever had, with shots and a absolutely perfectly whipped milk. And the chef created a croissant stuffed with fresh strawberry jam and sour cream. Exquisite.These women really know their stuff.

    I was visiting Atlanta and saw the amazing reviews this place had. I was excited and decided to try their lattes. Possibly one of the worst lattes i’ve ever had. The barista struggled with it for a little bit and its possible they didn’t know how to make it. It was really watery - a latte should only have espresso and milk. I paid for a latte and what i got was not a latte. I can’t speak about the food, and that may be the reason behind the positive reviews. This is not a place I would recommend to coffee lovers.

    I don’t know how this place doesn’t have 5 stars! I can’t say enough about the atmosphere, the service, the food, drinks, patio, piano! You really have to see for yourself. This is a truly hidden gem in Sandy Springs- great for working, a day date, or just a quick lunch. I had the BLT and a vanilla latte- the drinks had a little heart shape, and the side plates were heart shaped as well. Such a fun modern twist!

    Amazing amazing amazing! I cannot say enough good things about this place! BEST espresso martini I have ever had! The owner has such an amazing presence and soul! Good vibes all around

  • 5/5 Shannon D. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is delightful! I am not usually one to leave reviews for coffee shops, but the hospitality, friendliness, and warmth of the servers was incomparable to most places I’ve experienced. This place has good people along with great food/drinks! I only had time for some tea and a baked good, but I definitely plan on going back because I was impressed by their menu!

    We came for brunch on a spring afternoon. Loved the place as we sat out. Bright and lighted. Hidden in a corner but good place for romantic nook in a corner.

  • 5/5 Karim C. 11 months ago on Google
    A cute place for brunch surrounded by nature! Loved the food and coffee. The Manager is really nice and friendly.

  • 5/5 Kisha S. 6 months ago on Google
    I almost didn't want to post because its kinda like you don't want folks to know about the "hidden gems". Service is intimate and friendly. Its clear these people know their customers. I heard a lot of calling people by name. Food is so fresh and cooked to order. I had the salmon toast with avocado added. It was plated beautifully and so good. My guest had a salad and the purification tea. We both cleaned our plates. The almond cake was good too. I love that this place has both indoor and outdoor seating options. It feels like home. There's a cultural vibe that's inviting. Fyi, I had a business meeting here but its appropriate for short work hours, business, and personal meet ups. I'll be back! ❤❤❤ 🇵🇹 🇿🇦

    Holistically, healthy, and hardy - that's the perfect way to describe the amazing café I visited today! Not only is it a delicious breakfast spot, but it's also a wellness center that focuses on nourishing your body from the inside out. From baked goods and teas to gluten-free options, this café has it all. And the best part? You can feel good about every bite you take, knowing that you're fueling your body with wholesome, nutritious ingredients. If you're in Atlanta and looking for a spot that'll satisfy both your taste buds and your wellness goals, this café is a must-try!

    I actually live in Virginia highland and it happened that I googled nice coffee place near sandy Springs today before my group meeting. I must say it is the best place for coffee to meet to have very nice food. I only got cappuccino and pice of blueberry orange glazed cake. Amazing. I would highly recommend this unique boutique place. Absolutely love it. Thank you guys.

    This was an amazing experience. The staff really showed that they cared that you were there, and enjoyed your presence. Phenomenal breakfast plates, cappuccino, latte, and a fabulous espresso martini. Pictured below are the breakfast panini and breakfast keto plate. The panini was amazing and the chicken salad and fiery sausage were to die for. Can’t wait to take my wife back to this wonderful oasis.

    I picked this place over a few others in the area because of the 4.8 star rating. I have no clue how they got that. To start the parking lot is pretty horrible I was in my truck but I would hate to be in a nice car trying to get down their driveway. I ordered an iced caramel latte that rang up to just over $7. Probably the most bitter and disgusting coffee I’ve had in 2023. Super disappointed I literally forced myself to drink it just because I wanted caffeine and to not waste $7. Can’t believe I’m saying this because I’m usually a small coffee shop kind of guy but I’d go to Starbucks before coming here again. The food menu looked appealing but the prices were so overpriced I really hope their food is better than their coffee.

    So glad we discovered this gem today! So cute! As soon as you walk in, the positive energy and cheerfulness was very obvious. Very thoughtfully designed, cute menu, and a whole holistic wellness side that I can’t wait to try. I had a cappuccino, and it was delish and had a cinnamon heart ❤️. Also cute photo op with the angel wings at the front 😂. Highly recommend!

    Super chic little spot. Just a tad off the beaten path. Service was great and the food and was delicious. I had a latte to drink and the avocado toast with egg and turkey bacon to eat. Didn't snag a photo of the food but it was beautifully presented and oh so tasty! Michael was the server on duty and he was friendly and gracious creating a lovely experience. Rumor has it that Thursday is piano bar night!

    The Nutellatte is the coolest coffee drink I’ve ever had. The crab cakes could have come from Maryland. Fresh, delicious, amazing food. Highly highly recommend!!!

  • 5/5 Chris S. 2 years ago on Google
    What a cool, clean, and refreshing café and restaurant! I visited for the first time this week, and was pleasantly surprised by how light and bright the interior was...lots of white, everywhere! Which makes for a relaxing, peaceful vibe. Even the bathroom had the look and feel of a luxury home. The biggest attraction, however, is the delicious food. The chef whipped up a tasty, off-menu veggie panini, which I wolfed down. I then got an interesting but healthy coffee drink, called a Chagacchino, and a couple slices of the homemade, flourless cake to go. A delightful experience! I'd love to come back the next time I'm in the area.

    So cute and great coffee! ☕️Can't wait to come back when it's warm again and read a book on their beautiful spacious patio! 📚So cool it's in a house I thought I was turning down the wrong street at first 😆

    Amazing hidden gem here! I had a Latte and it was one of the best I've had here in the states. The food is fresh and delicious. Definitely coming back

  • 5/5 Marilia R. 3 years ago on Google
    Such a NICE environment in this place. Just LOVED it!!!! All white and clean too. We can eat inside or outside. Vanda and Miguel are amazing people. Also good for evening coffee and relax with some good music.

    The ambiance, the food, and mostly the spiritual aspects presented around the restaurant. Sage, chakras and seafood baby! I love it!

  • 5/5 taylor f. 3 years ago on Google
    Found this absolute GEM by chance and am so glad I did. The ambiance (inside and out) was fantastic! The Owners and the chef were wonderful. The food was ridiculously delicious (Caprese) as was the Sage tea I ordered. I could spend every day here. If you are considering getting work done at Starbucks-DON'T. Cafe I AM is the best around and has the best vibe. You won't be disappointed!
