How does not being able to put my own cream and sugar in my own coffee so I can actually drink it the way I like it reduce the risk of spreading covid? I really would like to know the science behind it. Instead let me have some stranger open and touch the sugar packets and everything else cause that’s “safer.” So of course my coffee ended up tasting not the way I like it. Le sigh. Leaving two stars cause the quality of the coffee was actually good just management and staff not so much.

The best croissants and many amazing and super delicious food. Thanks.

Amazing Bakery! A cozy little place to sit back and relax.

Their bread is phenomenal. My favorite sourdough. Always fresh.

Neighborhood favorite thats also a destination bakery. Perfect coffee, gorgeous baked goods, and welcoming team. Space is very pleasant. Too bad you cant sit and work there these days buts nicely located to grab a treat and go for a beautiful walk.

Used to love its almond croissants the most! However, they cancelled it since pandemic 2020. I would cry for its coming back.

Besides the rude service, the bread, croissants, and vegan pastry was delicious. Our second time getting bread here and i think it’s the best bread in town. Also respect that they are very COVID-safe and clean!

I was looking forward to this place...it certainly looks very impressive. The scone was delicious and well worth the trip in itself but the chocolate croissant was meh - the pastry was not of a great quality and the chocolate was not great either. Guess their southern-style items are better.

Excellent baked goods and some of the best bread weve had in years, and a super friendly staff. This place is the best!

Best pastry/coffee shop in area. We drive from Decatur once a week to enjoy their croissants, scones and coffee.

Great place! Amazing pastries. All of them are delicious!Fellow customers - kindly follow the covid-19 procedures of not lingering inside to chat. Proof has been great at creating a distanced purchase process. The more we do as customers to follow guidelines, the better chance they have of staying open!

Amazing Proof Bakery! Ordered the Baby size cake with Raspberry filling.$28.oo but was worth every cent!!!!!

The baked good were delicious for the most part. Its a very dry atmosphere with mostly people staring at their electronics and staff didnt even smile or greet us. No ambiance.

A lovely space thats perfect to get some work done or catch up with a friend. Youll always find an open seat! I absolutely love their lavender lattes, croissants, and sandwiches. However, they are often understaffed and therefore the service can be really slow. I wish that Proofs owners gave it as much love as they do to Cakes & Ale or Bread & Butterfly.

Excellent pastries and coffee. Very friendly staff. Free wifi.

Great place with an independent feel. You can sit and read or relax. There is good music in the background and they have tasty goodies.

Awesome spot! Only neighborhood bakery with the peach tree🍑

Filled me up in no time. I will be back with my coworkers. This place has a good feel to it. Menu is like a cafe in Indianapolis I liked.

The staff was very kind and attentive. The bill was fair for the quality of food. I can see why they have so many good reviews.

Macarons were delish!The setting and decor is lovely. A must visit!It is very easily accessible by the metro.

By far the best Bakery in Atlanta. I shop there several times a week. I love the bread and pastries. I recommend this place to all my friends. There is tons of free parking at the MARTA start station across the street. Decor is stylish and the coffee great.

This place is so good!! If you ever come near, I would 100% recommend stopping in. The atmosphere is to die for and the coffee cake will take you away! They also have an assortment of coffee and tea flavors. I started the morning with a vanilla-lavender iced coffee 👌🏼.

The espresso I had was very good and made pretty quickly. Proof also has a good breakfast menu which is nice to see.

Cinnamon plum tea, Martinellis apple juice, cinnamon muffin, & monkey bread. 👌🏽

Food was super flavorful. Staff treated us so nice. The place has a good feel to it.

This is one of the best bakeries I’ve been to. I’m French and usually pretty picky about my croissants/baked goods but this place made me feel like I was back in Europe. The prices are very reasonable, the people are very friendly, and it’s an overall enjoyable environment to work/study/chat in a beautiful neighborhood of Atlanta. I usually never leave reviews for anything but this place was amazing. I recommend the chocolate chip cookie and croissant (any of them). Coffee is also very good!!

OH MAI GAWD, this bakery. I have no words. Except I do! Their homemade oreo cookies are earth shattering, and every biscuit, croissant and piece of bread I’ve ever eaten here are European level amazing.

The croissants were huge. Maybe you think you understand, but you dont. Just go there and behold.

This bakery is one of the prizes of the neighborhood. The pimento cheese biscuit is probably the best baked good I have ever tried. I am also a big fan of the green onion scones and lattes - a weekly visit is a must!

Nice coffee and pastries, however, parking can be tricky (limited spots outside shop). There are street parking and Marta station nearby

Good food, pleasant staff, nice atmosphere!

Really nice place to grab a coffee/tea and a pastry. They typically have a couple of unexpected items in the pastry case. Something made with an alternative flour or just an unexpected flavor combination. Go early if you want to have the full selection of baked goods to choose from because it seems that when they run out of something thats it for the day.

Great coffee and food!! 😋

They have good scone. Very wonderful Bakery

I just paid $14 for a loaf of bread and a croissant, before tip.

Good baked breads I really love it

Great baked goods and coffee!

My husband and I were missing some French croissants so were delighted to find this gem! Our favorite is the almond croissant, the boys like the ham and gruyère melt, and the girl enjoys the butter croissant. A perfect breakfast for the entire family!

Come for a coffee, stay for their giant croissants.

We are regulars here since we live in the neighborhood and love to grab a coffee on weekend mornings. Ive never tried the half off day old bread but think its an awesome idea and Im going to try to get it for our next party / potluck

Very safe service right now!!

Great ham and cheese breakfast croissant

Visiting from out of town and saw the Proof tent at the Freedom Farmers market. Bagels were gone by 10am so figured they must be good. So we went to the bakery and yes, the bagels were awesome! Latte was good as well. They had home made pop tarts which we will try next visit.

It was so tasty. Had a friend come into town and asked me to take him here again. This place has positive reviews for a reason.

Great neighborhood bakery and coffee shop. visit here multiple times a week. Pastries usually run out around 1pm. Friendly staff, lots of seating for working.

The atmosphere here is quite welcoming. One of the menu items on offer are ENORMOUS croissants. The first time I went to Proof, I was hesitant to purchase one. I was wondering if it would be good as Alons which is consistently excellent.To my surprise, Proofs croissant was excellent. I knew when the opportunity presented itself, I would go back.Today, I did.Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in the croissant I ordered. It was everything I feared it might be the first time I went to Proof. Todays croissant had none of the delicate flakiness or buttery taste that was in abundance on my first trip to Proof. It just tasted like a big lump of bread.It was very disappointing.Im certainly not opposed to giving them another try, but it might be a minute before I go back.

The best English muffin I’ve ever had.

Cool little cafe with a great theme! Though the range and size of food says that you probably wouldnt come for a meal, rather only coffee and a cake. Also the chairs were slightly on the less comfortable side. Would definitely go back again!

This review is not at all about the food/coffee there (which is why this is 3 stars and not 2). This is not a good place to work. Disliked the uncomfortable chairs. The internet was terrible. I had tea which was fine.

A bakery with no pastry on a Sunday morning at 11 am. How can that place be so highly appreciated? Not even a croissant....the shelves were empty. Maybe they should avoid producing pastry for other places and focusing on the customers that visit the place.

Best croissant Ive ever had.

This spot has just such a lovely vibe going on. The pastries are always next level, and they have wonderful coffee. Great place to work out of, and excellent local business to support versus corporate alternatives.

Slim parking, but no big deal. Found a primo spot right out front. Had a very gooey and sugary pastry and hit the spot nicely. Interior is cool. Huge table in the middle of cafe is awesome. Cant do wrong with Counter Culture Coffee. Will be back.

I love the atmosphere! I ordered a monte cristo sandwich and a bag of sour cream potato chips. The bread was freshly baked of course..but the jam was homemade as well. It was so delicious! If Im in the area I definitely plan to go back.

Went here on a FRI morning; was very disappointed they no longer offer quiche - ( according to them they are more grab-n-go now due to COVID- - to me their quiche is what set them apart from your run of the mill coffee shop - it was so fluffy and lite! If they ever bring this back I’ll be glad to change rating

Two words: kouign amann! This place offers the usual baked goods, plus some unique options. Everything I have tried is delicious. They do run out of items, so arrive early for the best selection.

I dont know why its taken me forever to write a review for this place. I also dont understand why this place isnt as busy as any of the other popular coffee shops around the Atlanta area. Their food is scrumptious. Their rosemary ham and Gruyere cheese croissants are the best damn ham and cheese croissants Ive ever eaten in Atlanta. I go to this cafe every other week and there is one particular cashier at this place who stands out because he treats everyone the same. This guy welcomes everyone with a kind smile. EVERYONE. This cashier doesnt play favorites and its always a joy to experience some kind of positive customer service experience in the city of Atlanta. I dont remember his name but he has short blond hair and wears glasses. I wanted to give him a shout out for always making my experience pleasant.There are two desserts Ive fallen deeply for: Hazelnut peanut butter pie/tart and the solar eclipse special The moon pie. UGH Please bring the moon pie back! If it doesnt return its not necessarily a bad thing to settle for the hazelnut pie/tart.

Great place to eat. Dining is beautiful and employees are extremely nice. Love to eat there.

Best bakery in Atlanta. The sourdough is solid, nice and crusty with the right amount of zing. The chocolate chip cookies are awesome and the counter culture coffee is great as well.

Nice coffee shop and bakery. Perfectly fitting for Atlanta, not the run of the mill national chain.

Nice open, light-filled space with coffee, pastries, and light lunch items. A good spot to get work done or to just hang out. Ive only ever had their pastry items, but I havent met one that I didnt enjoy thoroughly. Great spot!

Stood in line for 5 minutes before u was told Ill be with you in a minute. Went to the restroom and got back in line, 10 minutes later, I had to leave to be to work on time. Was never serviced and wont be back again. Dough Bakery, a vegan bakery and deli, was the previous tenant, with much better service. They are sorely missed!

Dropped in for some breakfast to-go. There was a bit of a wait, about 20 minutes for breakfast sandwiches, but totally worth it in the end. Ordered a Ham and Gruyere cheese English muffin and it was amazing! The combination of the freshly baked muffin, baked egg, ham, and cheese was a perfect way to start the day.

Great coffee and really good food. Its a good work or study environment as well. I will definitely visit Proof Bakeshop again.

The food is great but some of the staff is clearly not happy to serve a black woman. At first I thought they were having a bad day. Then a white person comes in and they are all of a sudden cheerful and happy to serve.

Best bread in town, hands down. The Baguette and the Italian Country Bread are the closest things to Europe that Ive found this side of the pond. Best of all, no preservatives or sugar in the bread!

This unassuming location houses a fantastic bakery. The coffee cake was absolutely delicious! My daughters and I also enjoyed the red velvet whoopee pie and the chocolate croissant. The decor and ambience were perfect for a weekend breakfast.

Delicious dessert, snacks and coffee spot owned by the folks at Cakes and Ale. Spacious, clean, and comfy. Excellent desserts and great coffee. Everyone complaining about the price are used to lower quality options at other places.

One of the best cappuccino I have had. The savory scone was okay. I wish they had offer to heat it up for me.

Delicious coffee, baked goods, and sandwiches. I drove by at least five coffee shops on the way here, and the travel time was worth it. The chocolate chip cookies was as nearly as big as both of my hands, and was freakin’ amazing.

Lovely, airy loft with lots of light is a welcome neighborhood retreat for tasty baked treats. The bakery not only serves up delicious pastries, but delivers pretty scrumptious sandwiches (tuna on croissant is my favorite) and coffee drinks. With open access wifi and sweet smells swirling about, its pretty easy to pass an afternoon here.

Proof has the best cappuccino in Atlanta! Amazing coffee, friendly staff, tons of natural light, and great pastries. They are one of the few shops that provide Pecan Milk from TreeHouse and other alternative milks. The only downside is that there are flies everywhere :000 But I keep coming back because this shop is a gem in my neighborhood.

Parking is tough here, and the service is very slow. But the bakery items are great, and the coffee is good, too. No patio so you cant bring your pooch. But, if youre looking for a nice pastry and cup of coffee this is a nice spot.

The best pastries in all surrounding areas. The almond croissant us something I dream about! I have tried to find a place that is equal or better than Proofs coffee or almond croissant and have yet to find one.

Makes a delicious London Fog. Yummy baked goods.

Good baked goods and food. Disappointingly bad wifi connection. If more there are more than 3 people on it at a time, the connection drops like crazy. Kind of defeats the point of a coffeeshop being a local gathering place for people to study or get work done.

Gorgeously decorated and adorable! the iced lime hibiscus tea and cherry almond scone were delicious. cant wait to come back.

Nice coffee shop. No parking but a quick in and out so the street parking across the street was good.

I always feel a little ridiculous ordering the avacado toast but I am always satisfied by the deliciousness. They do a great job here. Oh, and the coffee is on point.

Got there near six, it wasnt packed at all. The service here is great. Feels similar to a cafe in Chicago I liked.

Good prices, delicious baked goods, friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Not clean Flies roaming in pastries storage area. Pastries were not fresh Sunday morning at 9am

Picked up a couple dozen scones to take to the office. Big hit. Both the sweet and the savory. Light and delicious.Also had the ham, Gruyere and egg sandwich and it is a killer sandwich.

Great people, best sourdough bread in town!Great coffee and a nice atmosphere!

Excellent breads. Quality baked goods, pastries, and good coffee. Selection can be sparse.Unfortunately, theres not much of a bakery culture in Atlanta, and all bakeries wind up being sandwich shops.

Proof is a great place to grab Counter Culture coffee while I wait for my next bus or train. This could become my daily routine.

Good pastries and sandwiches. Coffee isnt great but its pretty good.

Delicious baked good, tasty sandwiches, and really good coffee, Proof is in a great location as well. I dig the community tables and the intimate couch seating. With Dekalb Ave right outside, outdoor seating wouldnt make sense. I just love the cozy vibe of this spot!

Everything Ive ever tried here has arguably been the best Ive had. It would be hard pass up the fresh breads & pastries here, sandwiches... Take your pick. Ive had some epic meals at proof

Get a salmon bagel

Love this coffee place! They use great coffee and local milk. The vegan cookies are 👌🏼

This darling coffee shop has great coffee and incredible baked deliciousness. Super friendly baristas too!

The Monte Cristo is out of this world. Paired with the raspberry jam that comes on the side its a flavor explosion. They have a variety of pastrys and other sweet treats. Great place to enjoy a lazy breakfast or lunch.

Had breakfast here for the first time, two days ago. The lady who took our order seemed to be in a rush. That was a shame, especially considering it was our first time here.I ordered a slice of quiche and a cuppa English Breakfast tea. I dont understand why they ask for you name when place your order. They dont call it. They call each item out, as its ready.I was shocked to see how large of a tea bag and how much tea they use for such a small cup. It was actually comical. That large of a tea bag should only ever be used in a large tea pot! Although I asked for my quiche to be heated up, the carmalized onion and leek quiche was cold and the onions in it were barely cooked (nowhere near carmalized.) I asked for it to be warmed a second time. I ate it even though it was still barely warm. I never in my life thought I would say this about an eatery, but maybe this place should just invest in a microwave? Seconds in one would have heated the quiche up very quickly and properly the first time.We went back to the counter to order a cream puff to go. Thankfully, someone else helped us with that order. He was an extremely friendly and helpful gentleman. Hopefully, IF we ever go back, he will be there.

Great coffee and pastries. They also sell day-old bread, which is a great bargain and fantastic bread.Only con is that the music is somewhat loud, so may be difficult to make work calls.

This is the best bakery around! I ordered a birthday cake for my girlfriends birthday and they delivered it to bread and butterfly, amazing customer service

Croissant was delicious and giant! Big enough to share with 4 friends. WiFi, outlets, and great coffee, make this the perfect spot! Also, directly across from the Inman Park Marta Station.

Pastries were very good. Enjoyed everything I had. Coffee was a bit small for the price, but good. Would go back for the creampuff alone.

I was there with a group of family and friends. I had the Monte Cristo sandwich and it was absolutely fabulous. The filling was generous on real, fresh-baked bread. The raspberry jam dip was a delightful touch. Others also had the Monte Cristo or one of their other sandwiches or salads. Everyone loved it. Lunch was topped off with a selection of 8 of their pastries. When we looked at it we thought there was no way we could eat all that but one taste proved otherwise. Every little crumb was voraciously devoured. I havent had food this good since I was in Europe. Its nice to know I dont have to go to Paris or Munich (except maybe for the beer).

Everything is unbelievably tasty and always fresh. They have a great small breakfast menu and Counter Culture coffee as well. Directly next to the Inman Park/Reynoldstown MARTA station and a Relay Bike hub.
