Alon's in Dunwoody has an incredible
wine bar. No matter what your preferences are they always have something for you. In addition to the great wine selection, they also offer amazing craft beers. Check out the wine and beer selection to take home too. The prices are really competitive.
Wine tastings are every month with paired artisan cheeses. They are always $20 and scheduled on the closest Thursday to the 15th of each month.

Do not cater from Alon's unless you want undercooked and cold food to arrive late and you don't really need the condiments and accessories they state come with the order. Apologies are nice but my event was more stressful than it should have been and I spent way too much money for all the mistakes. Now I would take a gift certificate to eat lunch there but never again will I cater. NEVER

Alons is great. I'd get The blueberry muffin for breakfast the creme brûlée for desert and the tomato basil soup for lunch.

Dunwoody Store - Consistently Horrible Service. The service at the prepared food counter is Horrible. I have complained to the owners twice now. This past Sunday wanted to try something before purchasing. This is customary. But, the guy behind the counter said "no". I asked him for his name - he said "raymond". But, come to find out that wasn't his name. I spoke with the manager on duty about it and all he said was "it is too spicy for you". That's the response you get from the MANAGER!!! Yikes!!! Was expecting an appology and let me help you out, but never got it. called the owners again and was told they didn't know a Raymond. I plan to find this guy's name and expose his nastiness to the world. Apparently, they don't get it - and it does affect the profits of their business. Poor service gets noted and people spend their hard earned $$$ somewhere else. Must be they have more business than they need. The poor service I have seen is to the manager level. How do you quantify lost revenue? Well, I have friends that live near both locations and they don't go there anymore. I can see why. The really need to work on their service problems.

Hmmm... I like going in to check-out the international items that they have on the shelves and their desserts are very good...but, a few months ago I bought a bag of pita bread and when I got it home, the pitas were moldy. So, I decided that I wouldn't ever go back. Then a couple of weekends ago, I drove by and thought, let me try going in again. This time it was the service that was terrible. The people behind the counter had no idea what they were doing. Customers were complaining that their orders were wrong and I ordered 2 cups of soup with rolls and after 15 minutes, I asked the girl behind the counter about the order and her response was not very nice. How long does it take to serve 2 cups of soup from the pots?? Considering the prices they charge for lunch items, they have ridiculous and rude service. Never again.

A Fantastic Euro-style bakery. As close as Atlanta has to a European-style bakery, Alon's offers up fresh breads, cheeses, meats, sandwiches, and prepared foods to its Morningside neighbors. Inside, different areas house different products. There is a cheese case, a wine area, and cases for salads and meats to eat in or take out. Grab a butcher paper wrapped mozzarella, sun dried tomato, and arugula sandwich on focaccia, or a cup of the ever changing soup du jour menu (grab the tomato-basil if available). Outside are wicker seats and tiny tables to chow down atop the white paper bags the food is stuffed in.
