Axios Atlanta is an Axios company.

Last week, Bon Appetit named Juniper Cafe and Bakery one of the country's 50 best new restaurants.

Details: Led by the chefs behind Candler Park's Lazy Betty, the colorful spot serves up a super-smart fusion of Vietnamese and Southern cuisine.

What they’re saying: In the days following the article's release, the team saw double the expected number of customers — including some who drove an hour to try the food, general manager Shauna D. Whitson told Axios.

The verdict: It's well worth the hype. Don’t miss the paper-thin crispy okra appetizer, Vietnamese coffee and a gooey signature cookie stocked with pecans, oatmeal and chocolate chips.
