Lazy Betty is one of my favorite Chef's Table experiences so when I heard Chefs Ron Hsu and Aaron Phillips were opening a casual Vietnamese cafe bakery on the west side I was intrigued. Dropped in tonight. Don't sleep on the Vietnamese Hot Fried Chicken or the Lemongrass Pork Chop on Bun Noodle Salad. And the Coconut Shaved Ice dessert is absolute perfection. Two thumbs up for a fast, casual, super fresh meal. (My Ti... View all feedback.
What Brett J doesn't like about Juniper Cafe:
The food was very good but service was horrific. When I received the bill there was a 20% tip built-in to the charge automatically. Thats just wrong, especially if the service is bad. I could go on and on about the pitiful service but I think one can get the picture. I will not return as I refuse to be charged a 20% tip for terrible service. On the receipt it says they automatically add 20% so that their servers can... View all feedback.
Had to try before they move to another location in 2023. Chicken satay $15) is tender and delicious. 5 sticks with good portion of chicken on each. Steak banh mi $15) is good. Their famous fried chicken $30) comes with 4 pieces of dark meat and a bowl of Cole Slaw is also very good. The only thing is the prices. The only reason I haven't visited until now. With 20% gratuity added lunch for two came out to be $77 without any drinks. I'm glad I tried and best of luck with the relocation.
The space is absolutely gorgeous, the food is delicious, and the service is super friendly. I went for brunch and had the crab Rangoon, the papaya salad, the Turkish Egg Bread, and the chicken biscuit.Crab Rangoon was beautiful, the dipping sauce was delicious, the filling creamy and flavorful.Papaya salad, beautiful presentation, tangy, sweet, fresh, flavorful, and super yumTurkish Egg Bread, decadent, gorgeous, delicious, and so amazing.Chicken biscuit tender, sweet and lightly spicy (I have a really high spice tolerance so your experience may vary). Biscuit was yummy and I kept dipping it in the chili crisp glaze.Definitely a must visit place in ATL
I visited Juniper Cafe on a Sunday for brunch around 1pm with a friend in the newly created westside area. Lots of free parking and a really convenient and cute location. However, as soon as we entered the door the experience went downhill fast. We didn't have a reservation but there were tons of empty tables. The hostess didn't engage until I said hello to her and was pretty dismissive. Once I asked for a table of two, she said it would be 5-10 minutes and would text us. We didn't get a table until 15-20 minutes later, keep in mind still quite a few open tables. Once seated, we waited 20 minutes before a waitress came over and throughout the brunch, there would be constant delay in service. We waited at least 40 minutes for food but prior to that, we were given complimentary drinks and asked again what we ordered with no explanation for the delay. Like thank you for the drinks, but why have I waited so long for food?? Finally, once we ate, we waited another 30 minutes for the check. At that point, we were frustrated and I asked a server walking by to get my server so we could get a check. She rolled her eyes but found our server who I let know about our frustration. After speaking with our server who also happened to be a manger, she explained technical issues and apologized for the constant delay and lack of communication. Our food was comped, and we promptly left. I'm empathetic to technical issues and lack of staff, but for such a small location, none of that justifies the rude and dismissive service. The food was good but I will not be back. I wish Juniper Cafe luck and hope they can solve these internal issues in such a competitive market.
The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The ambiance is very classy with a 70s feel. Their menu is a fabulous Asian fusion blend with tons of soul and flavor! We had the Chinese chicken biscuit and it was absolutely buttery, flavorful, and the perfect blend of southern and Asian. Their Vietnamese coffee is fabulous as well. We wish we could've eaten more! We would 100% come back and recommend this spot to family and friends :
Celebrating our 5th monthiversary my husband I decided to try something new. Juniper Cafe did not disappoint. The upbeat and vibrant open decor lifted our spirits and set the tone for their unique menu. Let them eat cake! is our motto so we went for Almond Croissants first they were perfectly made and as per my hubby, the best he 's had . The almonds were generous and flavor Natural, you can tell they took their time in making these from scratch (flakey and golden brown) using quality ingredients and not cheap flavoring. Worth all the calories sacrificed to have this In the spirit something new we went with the BEC rolls and while i loved the egg roll crust, I did not like the American cheese and cheese would have made this better the amercian cheese felt like a last minute selection and did not play well with the dip. Next time I 'll have the Crab Rangoon(It was my first choice but I changed my mind at the last minute) I opted for the Pho beef broth, noodles, beef slices.. I did enjoy the warmth, hearty but lite meal on a Sunday afternoon. It was tasty, and the lime help cut the intensity of the beefy broth. On the next visit I would ask to have the greenery on the side so I could control the amount of cilantro added. Overall, I am very happy to have dined here on our special day.
