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 also seemed very kid-friendly. It truly feels like a welcoming “third space” — somewhere you can linger comfortably.
The variety of desserts is impressive, and everything we tried was thoughtfully prepared. One of my favorites was a beautifully refreshing dessert featuring silky glass noodles paired with tropical fruits — light, satisfying, and incredibly well balanced.
Service was just as memorable as the food. Emma, August and Gloria were warm, welcoming, and a joy to chat with, which made the experience even better.
My lady and I strongly recommend visiting at least once for the experience — especially if you enjoy tropical flavors, unique desserts, or are looking for a relaxed tea and dessert spot without luxury pricing. They’ve also introduced a tea time service, and I’m very much looking forward to trying it alongside their delicious treats.

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 desserts well. We enjoyed the savory items more than the sweet ones, but we loved the great variety of desserts. We especially loved the presentation. Everything came together to create a lovely experience and a wonderful girls’ hangout time.
The place is quaint and cute. The staff is super friendly and attentive. Her posture while pouring tea was very elegant. It happened that the weekend we chose was right before Valentine’s weekend, so the restaurant was not too crowded, which was a plus for us. However, their lunch party sessions are normally fully booked and busy, especially on weekends. You should definitely call and book ahead if you want to experience this lunch tea party.
12/10 — highly recommend this experience, especially for girls’ dates. I will come back to try other à la carte items from the menu.

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 experience.
Flavor highlights
• Pandan squeeze or pandan paste: a standout. It reminded me of ube, and honestly sometimes it tasted even better than ube.
• Black glutinous rice: really enjoyable, though sweeter than my personal preference. That said, compared to many US desserts, it still felt relatively not too sweet, which was refreshing.
Important note about coloring
A lot of the desserts use artificial coloring. If artificial coloring puts you off (same for me), you may not love every item visually or conceptually. But if you can look past that, the flavors are still worth exploring.
Ambience and seating
The ambience is very quiet, calm, and pleasant. There’s a decent amount of seating, and the space felt like it had enough room for a wheelchair. It also seemed kid friendly.
Would I recommend it?
Yes. Strongly recommend going at least once for the experience and to try Indonesian desserts, especially if you like pandan, tropical fruit flavors, or want a fun tea set without luxury pricing.

Stumbled across a post for Gula’s afternoon tea and decided to try it out because it looked gorgeous. Not only was it beautiful, but it was absolutely delicious and very filling! They let you smell the teas they offer so you can be sure of your decision too, which was super helpful! The staff was very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Absolutely recommend this place!

We had a lovely experience at Gula. I am Indonesian so I might be biased since I miss my home and have been craving these desserts so much! We ordered es teler, tempe mendoan, and tahu gejrot.
Es teler: quite sweet, I wish I asked for less sugar but I always feel like everything is too sweet here so I guess it will be just fine for others. Maybe you can ask to get the condense milk on the side if you are also like me.
Tahu gejrot: surprisingly spicy and taste authentic, so if you don’t like spicy food make sure to let them know.
Tempe mendoan: i wish it is less crispy and thick, but I understand that it’s hard to find a good tempe here.
Will love to come back one day!

We booked the afternoon tea last minute and they were so kind to squeeze us in! It’s such a beautiful space and a wonderful family-run business. The food and tea were amazing! The highlight is definitely the savories. It is such a creative spin on afternoon tea. Highly recommend!

We stumbled upon Gula Indonesian Desserts while traveling from California on a work trip, and what a delightful surprise it was! The desserts instantly transported us back home. Authentic, comforting, and absolutely delicious. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more special. You can feel the love and care in every bite. If you’re craving dessert or just want to try something unique and heartwarming, this place is a must-visit. We will definitely be back next time when we are in Atlanta.
