I've been to Joli Kobe Bakery & Cafe the other day and I was really pleased with the services there. Really good people and good services. Think I'm going to visit that place more often.

Recently had the tuna nicoise salad and my friend had the chicken salad sandwich. Chicken salad was just chicken and mayo - tasteless. Was surprised and disappointed that the tuna in my nicoise was canned tuna, not a seared chunk. Heavy fruit and nut bread served with lunch was good. The bakery section smelled great, and had very pretty offerings. I would not go back again for lunch (or at least not order the nicoise or chicken salad) based on my experience.

Pros: Unique concept to Atlanta, beautiful bakery offerings

Cons: Taste of savory foods

While working a couple of accounts in the Sandy Springs/Perimeter area, I had to stop into Joli Kobe, one of my all time favorite places to lunch in the metro. French baked goods, with a Japanese twist, and everything inbetween. The aroma of the freshly baked goods and pasteries, is enough. to get the taste buds working. The little cafe that adjoins the bakery, is always hopping. I always order the spicy Tiger Shrimp Salad with Papaya, and topped with fried potatoe strips. And the cheese and grape stuffed mushrooms are not to be missed. And oh man, that Rasberry Mousse! And I thought I was starting a diet this spring. Take a couple of the loaves of bread home. You gotta love it!

Pros: Delightful French/Japenese Bakery & Cafe!

One of my favorites for lunch. Haven't tried dinner but can't wait as I hear the ambiance is a lot more calmer. The decor is beautifully minimalist and contemporary. Salads are exquisite and all dishes are well presented. The bisque is rich, the tenderloin tips tasty, the avacado & shrimp salad is light, healthy and flavorful while the take away cookies are a fun treat. They have many apps, sandwiches, salads and entrees as well as freshly made pastries. (Their cakes and pastries are their specialty). Always a treat and priced just right. Service is efficient & friendly. During lunch it can get loud as the place tends to fill with mostly chatty Buckhead type ladies who sometimes bring their kids. Best to go @ 11 or 1 for lunch. Parking can be tricky but is always availabe, just not up front during high traffic hours. I highly recommend this restaurant and their bakery for your next special event.

Pros: food, decor, staff

Cons: noise level & parking during busy hours

I've been going to Joli Kobe for more than 15 years, good sandwich, pastry and cakes. Owned by the same owner of Kobe Steak House and also the owner of Prado Shopping Center. My favorite is egg salad and potato salad sandwich, coffee imported from Italy is good too. After 5pm, all the baked bread and pastry becomes $1.00, so come and stock up!

Pros: Since theyare Japanese, you can talk to them in Japanese

Cons: Hardly any parking space, due to sharing space with other buisness

Very cool looking, yet warm & friendly ambiance makes you enjoy just being there. The great food, well-made drinks, & great live jazz (on Mondays & Tuesdays) make it a no-brainer!
Plenty of free parking, and it's convenient location only add to no-stress experience...
The salmon, grouper, and sea bass specials I had have all been excellent, as was the crabcake. I also loved the organic greens w/goat cheese & ginger dressing, & the Bruschetta was quite tasty, too. It's not too loud or noisy, the band is great, and aren't blasting us out of our chairs. All in all, a fabulous "secret spot", especially on a Monday or Tuesday night.

Pros: Ambiance, food, music, vibe, free parking, no cover charge

Cons: live jazz is only on Mon/Tues nights....

I never knew this place was here until the write up in the AJC. Decided to check it out and I'm glad I did. The curry chicken salad was really good as was the crab bisque. A must try.

Pros: Crab bisque

Cons: the crepe was a bit rich although still good

Posted 11/20/06

I went here yesterday to get a cake for my dad's birthday & the cake was delicious! Fair price & good service. Only bad thing I can think of is the obscure location off roswell road. I highly recommend it.

Pros: Good Food, Good Service

Cons: Obscure Location

We got a Tiramisu Cake for our friend's birthday - everybody loved it. Very clean and helpful staff.

Pros: Best Bakery. Conveniently located close to Perimeter Mall.

Cons: None

The best bakery/cafe is not in midtown or Virginia Highlands; it's in a generic strip mall off Roswell Rd just inside the perimeter. Whenever I am in that part of town I make a point to have lunch at Joli Kobe. They artfully blend european bakery/cafe fare with sophisticated Japanese sensibilities to taste and presentation. Their sandwiches are delicious and are a great value! Most are under $5 and a soup du jour is only $1.50, but the taste and presentation is 5 star! breads are consistently good. They do a great job with the french country breads and baguettes.

Pros: Great food, Value, friendly

I have been going to this bakery/cafe ever since I moved to Atlanta. The pastries are delectable and are works of art. If you need a special occassion cake this is the bakery; Joli Kobe can make just about any cake you desire. They also have a nice lunch menu. I love the Japanese sandwich they have, don't know the name, but its great. The people are friendly and the place is always spotlessly clean. Joli Kobe definately gets my vote for best bakery in Atlanta.

Joli Kobe produces some of the most exquisite and tasty desserts in Atlanta. The presentation is flawless, and the calibre is always consistent. I have never been dissappointed with any purchase from this bakery. The staff is very friendly and helpful too.

Pros: artistic desserts, good lunch menu, great service

Posted 05/18/04

This patisserie has the most exquisitely prepared desserts and pastries I have seen anywhere in Atlanta. Looking under the glass at Joli Kobe is like looking as precious jewels under a jewelers case; these works of art are almost too beautiful to eat. This patisserie is as good as any I've found in Paris or Japan. Every special occassion or dinner party would not be complete without a delectable dessert from Joli Kobe!

Pros: Great desserts, Value , Friendly service
