C'EST LA VIE BAKERY & CAFE - Duluth, Georgia

Today we visited this place. Let me share my impression: from the start, the place is beautiful, with an elegant touch, tastefully decorated, clean, and a pleasant background music that allows for a peaceful conversation while you enjoy a good coffee, tea, or matcha latte. They offer a wide variety of options, all of which can be paired with delicious desserts. One recommendation is that they should have two employees; the young person attending is very efficient, but trying to serve all customers simultaneously can result in long coffee waiting times.

Hoy conocimos este lugar. Permíteme compartir mi impresión: desde el principio, el lugar es hermoso, con un toque elegante, decorado con buen gusto, limpio, y una agradable música de fondo que permite conversar tranquilamente mientras disfrutas de un buen café, té o matcha latte. Ofrecen una amplia variedad de opciones, todas las cuales se pueden acompañar con deliciosos postres. Una recomendación es que deberían tener dos empleados; la persona joven que atiende es muy eficiente, pero tratar de servir a todos los clientes al mismo tiempo puede resultar en largas esperas para el café.

Their stuff use to be so yummy, now every time I get a cake or pastry it’s super gross and dry. Tastes like it’s been in a fridge for weeks. Never coming back.

It’s birthday week and I’m on a roll! This gem has been on my radar and I’m so glad I stopped by. Upon entry I was warmly greeted by staff. I love seeing people that love what they do! I told them this was my first visit and I needed to look around. Don’t take too long people. You can easily get drawn in to the shelves of perfectly baked goods, teas and miscellaneous items. One could certainly spend hours here with the friendly ambiance. I decided to get the Oreo mousse cake and a vanilla eclair. Omg! I was gonna save some for my actual birthday but they were too good! Stop in whenever you’re in the area. You won’t regret it! #ashsaidit

Great find! So many delicious choices and fantastic cup of coffee. My daughter and I found this place after having a terrible experience at near by coffee shop, Peach Rosters. If looking for a new local coffee shop definitely check this place out.

My husband and I stopped in for a first time visit. We ordered three different cake slices. The Triple chocolate was decent, the Oreo custard had very little flavor and the Black Forest was terribly dry and zero cherry filling. I broke it apart looking for the filling and discovered mold!
Also meat and cheese sandwiches were just sitting in the window, moisture within the bags from the heat, how is this a safe food temperature? We thought we had discovered a great little bakery but left very disappointed.

I was in the area and needed a place to sit for maybe an hour or two to crank out some work and get some caffeine. After this visit i definitely added this place to my repeat offenders list! It was peaceful here with a good playlist. I even stayed longer than expected and order a light snack.

I ordered a simple chai tea latte (you can never go wrong with a latte). I will order something more next time because i feel their specialty drinks are probably amazing from the smells that filled the area. I also order the cajun egg avocado toast because why not? I will say i was not impressed with it but it was exactly what should be expected for avocado toast. Cant be mad at that.

Lastly, I bought some day old pastries that were 50% off? WHO WOULD PASS UP THAT I wasn't sure what i purchased because they weren't labeled (i'm definitely more trusting and adventurous than others) but i got one of each different thing in the basket. Each one still tasted fresh and i could not complain.

I'm confident that i would make the trip to come back out here. The peace i felt is something you don't experience at the coffee shops within the perimeter of ATL.

It's located at an easy to access and identify area. Maybe that's not a good description of its area. You'll see it though. The place is relatively clean and doesn't seem too busy during the weekdays. The person working the place was very nice and running the whole show on her own.
I appreciate the presentation of the baked goods and the variety of drinks. It's not too little, and not overwhelming.
I went with my spring tea and it was good. Additionally, I ordered the matcha souffle pancakes. I had these kind of pancakes a few times in Japan, but they were always undercooked. Here, that was not the case. It was well cooked, came with a side of delicious vanilla ice cream, and matcha powder added a subtle flavoring that was perfect.
The service was exceptional, and I really liked the atmosphere of the place. There is a mix of modern and earthy aesthetic.
Give a shot if you're looking for a cafe spot. I will be returning.

It is adorable inside. They had plenty of pastry options. However, I was not a fan of the ones I purchased. The woman at the register could have been more friendly.
