A Summer in Atlanta

Naturally, its incomplete without the visit to the coke factory. But there are other little pleasures as well. Notably, the number of cafe's and little dessert places.



There's Cafe Intermezzo -with its alarmingly gigantic cakes - a definite must share - eating alone would be sinful and possibly result in death by chocolate.

There's La Madeleine with its fabolous little mousse's and also its big mousse cake - I went there for the desserts and stayed on for the food

Flavor - which is probably one of the healthiest options here - fantastic soups and salads.

Alon's - Bakery, cafe, general purveyor of little foods - the cookies are to die for - and the mousse is very good too.

There's Morelli's ice cream - rich, creamy, and large.

Sweet Cheats - though small, so rich, you'll find it hard to get through. Definitely recommend taking it home and eating a little at a time.

And there's Apres Diem - which is better for more than just dessert, though after eating at the Mellow Mushroom, even dessert was a bit hard to get through.

And there's Season's 52, with its ever changing menu, and constant little shot glass desserts.

Pura Vida - a tapas bar, with a ton of vegetarian options (yes!) and they were extremely good too (especially the mushrooms)

It seems that in two months in Atlanta, I've tried out more restaurants in Atlanta than I've tried in many years in other places... and still so many left to go!
