Saint Germain

This Atlanta-based French bakery chain is known for their display cases of beautiful pastries, like their peach-shaped one with a velvety custard filling or their lemon cube cake, which looks like one of those bubble cube candles. And if you love macarons, Saint Germain has some of the city’s best, with one of the largest selections (nearly 20 flavors). We prefer their spacious venue in the Interlock because it feels like stepping into a Paris cafe with indoor and outdoor seating and small circular tables just big enough to hold your laptop, a coffee cup, and saucer. There are a few larger tables if you're trying to use the place as an office and work your way from breakfast quiches to afternoon sandwiches.
