Gula Indonesian Dessert Café

This is a late review but the holidays got me. :-) Gula was such a refreshing and unexpected find. Specializing in Indonesian sweets, it offers something truly different from the usual dessert spots in the neighborhood. If Indonesian desserts are new to you, this place is absolutely worth seeking out — it feels like discovering a whole new dessert culture right here in Atlanta. What really sets Gula apart is its genuinely unique menu, showcasing tropical and Indonesian flavors you don’t often see elsewhere. The desserts strike the perfect balance of sweetness — flavorful and comforting without being overwhelming. The ambience is calm, quiet, and inviting, making it an ideal place to relax and enjoy dessert. There’s a good amount of seating, the space felt wheelchair-accessible, and it a

The restaurant is in the same plaza as Bo Bo Garden, next to ICE NY. There are plenty of parking spots in the plaza. I booked a tea party lunch session on the weekend with my friend, and we both had a wonderful experience. They also accommodate a vegan menu for tea party bookings. Our names were printed on the menu, which was a very nice touch. There is a large collection of teas to choose from, along with a detailed menu. They let you smell the teas from a tea tray, which helps a lot when choosing the one you like. The staff explained each tea and recommended flavors based on our personal tastes. They also introduced and explained the sweet and savory items on the menu. We had panda tea and hibiscus tea. The sweet and savory tea party lunch set was delicious and represented Indonesian d

We had a great experience here! There were 19 options for tea selection and the desserts were super yummy! Very impressed with their desserts that were Fresh, delicious, well balanced with Indonesian flavor. So good! The place was also very elegant and relaxing and the owners were so nice and attentive. 3 generations of women made this dream came true.

My family came for the afternoon tea and had the absolute best experience! We all would strongly recommend Gula’s to anyone looking to try some yummy Indonesian cuisine. Everything really was so amazingly tasty and we all loved our tea choices. The presentation of everything was also very beautiful. We had an amazing time! It was also great to hear from the shop owner about the love and care her and her mom put into curating the offerings and making everything. I think if I understood correctly, three generations of women from their family are responsible for running Gula’s and making it such a special and amazing place! We will definitely be back to try more delicious drinks and desserts!

Overall Gula was an interesting and refreshing find. They specialize in Indonesian sweets, and it was fun to discover a different kind of dessert third space in the neighborhood. If you’ve never tried Indonesian desserts, this is absolutely worth a visit. What makes it unique The menu felt genuinely different from the usual Asian dessert spots. Lots of tropical and Indonesian flavors like: • Pandan • Black glutinous rice • Durian • Passion fruit • Lychee and other tropical fruit drinks and desserts Tea party set and value They recently started a tea party set that looked amazing for about $50 (around $48 per person depending on how it’s listed). For comparison, a similar experience we saw in Victoria was $109 per person (Canadian dollars), so this felt like a strong value for the expe
