Overrated and over-priced

by SJ411

I'm sure Henri's was something in it's day, but quite frankly, I didn't see what all the fuss was over. The pimento cheese sandwich, I thought would be a really good homemade Southern style sandwich, which turned out to be overly dry, the equivalent of going to the grocery store and slapping the cheapest spread on two slices of bread. That certainly was not worth the price: over-priced.

The cookies were okay, but come on, I can go to the grocery store and get the same thing and not have to almost pay $1 per cookie. A bakery shouldn't have cookies that are "okay " i.e. ask Matty Cakes and you'll see a clear distinction, who is a baker that knows what he is doing.

I don't know who is nostalgic for this place, but like most of those places that you wipe a tear from your eye, this place probably has been sold to a new owner a long time ago and is basically living off it's former reputation.

• Pros: good assortment of bakery items
• Cons: over-priced,basically equivalent of grocery store sandwiches

Henri' Thanksgiving Dinner

by labradorite

The Henri?s Thanksgiving Dinner was something to be thankful for if you did not have to eat it. I was so disappointed. For the price I was expecting a nice dinner. The gravy tasted like chicken soup. Potatoes were used instead of the advertised giblets. The dressing was not even dressing; it was a corn cake with jalape?os in it. We could not eat it. The ?pumpkin pie? was soggy, and much too sweet. The Turkey was overcooked. The dressing was so bad I took it back the next day. I was told no refunds! I can certainly understand why.

• Cons: I had poor food and poor customer service

Great food, can be crowded, WAY overpriced

by wchapman

Henri's is just around the corner from my office, and I love their sandwiches, sweets, and baked goods. It's a great place to grab a quick bite or satisfy your sweet tooth. The biggest thing I object to is their prices. Small cookies for $1.05? A basic sandwich for nearly $6.00? Definitely a great place, but usually not worth premium prices! Also, beware of the lunch crown during the week, especially at high noon.

• Pros: Baked goods - among the best in Atlanta
• Cons: Prices - way too high

Good Po Boys and baked goods

by getoffmylawn

This place is one reason I miss living in Buckhead. The Po Boy sandwiches are very good, although they can be dry sometimes. Make sure to grab a mustard packet or horseradish i the dining area. The seating area is okay for lunch, but nothing special. I'd recommend picking up lunch and heading to a local park. The baked goods are all excellent. My personal favorite is the Mediterranean cookie - I wish I had the recipe for that one. The chocolate eclairs and macaroons are also outstanding. Their thanksgiving catering is just okay - in my opinion Fresh Market has better dressing and sides.

I hope they're around forever.

• Pros: great food, lots of tempting choices
• Cons: not enough parking - it gets ridiculous around lunchtime

Absolutely horrible cakes

by ggongola

We just purchased a small sheet cake from Henri's for a celebration. It was the worst cake I have ever had. It was extremely dry (and expensive). I have never felt so ripped off at a piece of bakery. What's worse, is the embarrassment of watching people trying to eat the cake and not say how terrible it was. Never again. PS - This was not a custom made cake. It was what they had on-hand. Regardless, they should not have sold a cake so old, especially for $25.

• Pros: Good donuts
• Cons: Terrible cakes

Still Good After All These Years! Love The Po'Boys!

by jaymaygm

No this is not a Paul Simon song/review. But I've been going here since I was a kid. The baked good assortment is basically the same, but it seems a little dated since Whole Foods is now around the corner. We still love the cheese straws. But the original Roast Beef Po' Boy, is still the star. Beef, pickles, mayo, and that crusty French Bread. Just grab one, since they are already made up. Add a Dr. Brown's soda, and you have a perfect lunch, head out to the patio, in this nice weather.

• Pros: Roast Beef Po'Boy! Cheese Straws!
• Cons: Parking Can Be Tight!

The BEST Cheesecake I have everrrrrr had!

by lqqkitzme

The Vice President of the company I work for, sent a cheesecake to each branch in the Metro Atlanta area. "Just for my ladies" the note said on this box of heaven. This is the absolute best cheesecake I have ever had in my entire life. I have had it all over the

world and Henri's is by far the BEST-so moist, creamy, and not too sweet or rich. You could eat 1/4 of this thing in one sitting, it is so good. Can't vouch for anything else, but it has to be good if the cheesecake is this great!

My BF and I went to Henri's one weekend for late lunch.

It is very hard to find good delis in ATL but my BF LOVED his sandwitch!

The portion is big and thier bread is awsome.

I recommend that you try this place.
