Pistachio Croissant
Yes, it’s as good as it looks. Honestly, it’s probably even better. Perfectly crisp golden brown layers crackle delicately under your bite. The interior layers are soft, tender, and buttery with a fresh ground pistachio center as an added bonus. Yum.

Buckhead Bread Company and Alon’s are our go-to spots for bread. But, we were happily surprised by this French style loaf from White Windmill Bakery. The crust was still crisp when we arrived home. But, by dinner time it lost its crunch. Luckily, we were using this loaf as the […]
Tasty Over-Stuffed Cannoli
Also, tasty… lobster tails
But, we thought there was a bit too much whipped cream in the pastry cream filling. (Lobster Tails, also known as Sfogliatelle, traditionally have a cannoli-like ricotta and semolina filling. We both prefer them that way.) […]
Fentiman’s Mandarin and Seville Orange Jigger
Ginger and juniper extract add a pleasant jolt to this “botanically fermented orange drink”.
Almond Croissant
We are not early risers. So, to reward ourselves for the first time we were up before 8am this year. We decided to […]
Lamb on Ciabatta
We first discovered this sandwich at the opening of the Perimeter Mall location. And, it’s been on our favorites list ever since. I don’t know why we ignored the prepared foods section of the Highland’s location. What a mistake.
The ciabatta is perfect for a […]
Poppy & Everything Bagels
Another batch of gorgeous bagels from Goldberg’s, their poppy seed bagels are one of my favorites. Poppy seeds smother the top and bottom of each and every bagel. I love that. And, look at all those toasty bits of garlic and sesame seeds on the everything […]
Kimchi Dumplings
Kimchi (or kim chee) dumplings are one of our favorite items from the prepared foods section of Buford Highway Farmers Market. They disappear fast. So, they’re usually still piping hot in the package. After fighting the crowds, these mildly spicy dumplings make a great quick lunch.

Mystery Chocolates
Shopping for chocolates at New Odessa can be a bit of a mystery. I love marshmallows. And, the above photo depicts a marshmallow… yes? Yes. But, it also illustrates a plum or a grape or… maybe a fig? A jelly-filled chocolate? I was hoping for fig in some […]
Delicious Day-glo colored Sweets from Royal Sweets
While all the sweets were lovely, we particularly enjoyed the figgy pinwheels. Sadly, we don’t know the name of these treats. Royal Sweets doesn’t label all of their treats. We did find the laddu (toasted wheat and butter balls) a bit […]
S’more Tart
The giant torched coconut marshmallow is the highlight of this tart for me. I’d love it even more if it was torched to order. Rich chocolate is tasty, but, the excessively buttery (greasy) tart crust is too much. This tart is crazy rich. It needs a significantly more […]
