quick grab food

By Tania M |

At a massive conference, this place is good for getting food fast. Lots of options on a buffet style line. I've seen scary buffets and this isn't one of them. Good, inexpensive and fast when time is just that short. Go eat some vegetables. make your mom proud.

Love breakfast there

By Linnea O |

This is a good breakfast buffet! I can get what I will eat (instead of paying for more than I can or want to eat) and the variety of food is good. I eat there probably once a week or so - never a complaint. Caution with the heavy food like watermellon, since you pay by the pound. Hope you enjoy this resturant too.

Great Affordable Breakfast Options

By Denise K |

Too often, a buffet means a high sticker price, even if you aren't that hungry. This place offers a buffet of almost anything you can imagine for breakfast, but you pay based on weight, which means it's great for anyone with any size appetite. A very nice treat when you normally can feel gouged in most places for this meal. Being the south, you'll get grits, many kinds of sausages, etc. But my diet Coke, 3 pieces of bacon and a muffin were under $5. You can't beat that. I didn't get there for lunch, but they do the same thing there. BTW - Momo means many things, but also peach; a nice touch in Atlanta

It All Adds Up

By Dan K |

I am very glad that this place has survived lockdowns, slowdowns, and the smaller office occupancy of downtown. I was actually there for lunch, lunch, and then breakfast, eating there three times in six days. I'd probably not survive DragonCon without it since it is perhaps the fastest option for a nutritious meal in the four by four blocks of the con. Fruit, vegetables, and all that good stuff. As I have gone 24 hours on three cans of Mountain Dew, a quarter pound of beef jerky, and a couple Twinkies, you need to stop and eat real food occasionally even if you're in a hurry. You can put a whole premade bacon cheeseburger in a to-go box, with some fried rice, cut up fruit, a few pieces of sushi, and get out of there fast. Again, their entire business model is the fact most people have no sense of what a pound weighs in their hand, so you get your box to the register and suddenly wonder why you're checking out for thirty bucks. That's okay. Pack your box right and you get two meals out of it. Hobbits wanting second breakfast? Doable. Their biscuits are excellent, though the gravy needs more sausage. That's okay, the sausage is right there and you can add it yourself. Just remember all the weight adds up.

At least I remembered the name this time!

I ate there in DragonCon of 2017, and all I remembered was the "pay by the pound place in Peachtree Center that wasn't Yami Yami." But it was DragonCon and I may have had a couple cheerful cocktails affecting my recollection. Now. This place has a real simple business model. What food can we make at a certain price point, keep on a steam table and cold salad bar, and get people in and out and hopefully coming back? I bet this place slays it at lunchtime with the 9 to 5 crowd. In, fill box, weigh box, pay, go. There is no unifying theme to the cuisine. Me, I went nuts on Spicy Bacon Fried Rice. Got in, headed out, literally ate while walking. Bonus points- their taste in plastic silverware is excellent. Big heavy duty stuff. I kept it in a pocket to wash and throw in my lunchbox later. Details matter.

Love this place

By AP9669 |

This is really one of my favourite places to eat at the food court. I like it that I can have a bit of everything. God quality and still reasonably priced.

Perf.

By Chelsea A |

Great place in a central location. i came here with my friend to grab breakfast. Definitely enjoyed the french toast and eggs and fruit. My friend got eggs, bacon, hash browns and a bunch of other things...both of us really enjoyed our food. You pay by weight and its buffet style. Perfect place to knock out everyones needs at once.

Good if You Need Food Fast

By craig1086 |

Come here often on break. The breakfast buffet to me is better than the lunch buffet. But both get repetitive after a while. Food is weighed by the pound, but can add up quickly if you lump it on.Otherwise reasonable. Staff is friendly though. Right at the top of the Peachtree Center MARTA station escalator

Very good overall

By bizandfun |

This place was a gem. The main business for them is food sold by the pound. They have breakfast items in the morning and lunch items in the afternoon. Generally I'm not a big fan of "food by weight" but this place really changed my mind. There's a very good variety at both timeframes and the price is really good for the amount of food you take. There's also a grill area where you can order food to go. Since finding this place, I've gone back about 4 times in the past 2 weeks.

Average food at average prices

By Whitney B |

Cafe Momo is buffet style and has lots of variety. We ate here for breakfast and had plenty to choose from. Your total price is determined by the weight of your plate. We each had plenty and our total was a little over $15.

Fresh hot and cold bars

By sket101 |

Stopped at Café Momo for lunch. It seemed to be the healthiest option at the Peachtree Center food court. All of the food appeared to be fresh. They had a good variety of prepared salads, sushi, meats and fruit on the cold bar. The hot bar had many of your traditional buffet type dishes like Chinese, Mac and Cheese, etc. The lunch bar cost $6.39/lb which is a deal. Overall a very good lunch. I might make it back again during my stay in Atlanta.

DragonCon food stop.

By StJohnsSteve |

Totally prepared for the crowds. Food was spot on. Decently priced. Seafood salad was amazing. Both fish dishes were perfectly cooked. Several types of chicken, all perfectly cooked and spiced. A few sushi options. Roast beef was tender and tasty. Quick in and out. Perfect stop to refuel. Thank you for being read for us and a great price and convenience option!

good selection of food at a great price

By Elizabeth L |

I came to this buffet restaurant twice: once for breakfast and once for lunch. I liked the breakfast food better. I'm on a high protein diet, and the selection was good for that. I got a small piece of cheese omelet--plus some ham. I think I only paid a dollar. It was fast and good. For the lunch, I got fish (good) and chicken (too dry. I didn't finish.) If you want carbs, fruit, or dessert, they had a good variety. I can't vouch for its taste, since that isn't on my current diet regimen. There is no place to sit in the buffet area, but this is in a food court so there are some tables nearby. There is, however, no atmosphere. It's just a quick way to get a solid meal.

Quick, Convenient and Great Selections!

By weatherdancer |

I visited this place for lunch several times during my stay in downtown Atlanta. It was a quick walk from my hotel (taking the Skybridge is especially nice in the summer). They have a number of options, from mac and cheese to spicy tofu. The prices are incredibly reasonable and I was never disappointed with any of the dishes. The peach cobbler is also amazing!

Great assortment of food quickly.

By lindas286 |

Great variety of food at a reasonable price. If at the Mart run across the street and eat here. By the pound so you can try alot if things

A great little place for a breakfast of your choice

By Liz Y |

I am staying in Atlanta for a conference and did not fancy breakfast in the hotel so ventured out for a look around the food court at the Peachtree Center Mall. Was very pleased to come across this fabulous little place - essentially you pick up one of the trays and fill it with whatever you like then take it to the cashier - they then weigh your tray and you pay by the pound. As someone who is very health conscious I was really pleased to find a great selection of fresh fruit and a wide variety of cooked items - the scrambled egg with vegetables is delicious - with spinach, red peppers and onion. I will certainly be making a few more trips to this great little place before heading back to the UK.

Breakfast bar

By Archie |

It's a fast food shop at peach tree center. It has a breakfast buffet $5.99 per pound. We ordered for three of us and paid $8.00. Sausage, eggs, pancakes, French toast, bread, fruits. There are chairs to sit down. The crowd is a little shady and the security is there to watch over. We needed a quick place to eat before going on the CNN tour. It worked really well.

Decent Food in a Rush

By jdfisha |

Stopped in on my way to a meeting in downtown Atlanta. It's a general lunch buffet place with fruits, vegetables, salads, multiple kinds of warm meat dishes, etc. the food is charged by the pound. Price was average and the quality of food was average. When convenience is priority this in mall option is probably a good choice.

Great Breakfast!

By Melinda W |

This is a great place to get breakfast. It has everything! You load your plate with whatever you want and pay by the weight. It is very reasonable. We each just got what we wanted.

Beyond the average Food Court

By Frances C |

My husband was in meetings so I would head to Momo by 8am to box up our breakfast .We averaged about $12.00 for two breakfast. We were staying at the Hyatt Regency so we had easy access. Atlanta is odd as to when restaurants are open, they cater to downtown businesses so ask as to hours of operation.

lighting fast

By Rosa B |

walk in self-serve, grab a takeout container, poulty, pork, fish, fresh fruit, drinks, selection good as fancy buffet. just not fancy

Looked so much better than it was!

By rosemary08 |

Trying to avoid cards, I chose a variety of protein options from the steamtables: tilapia tasted really fishy-bad, all forms of chicken were totally dried out and inedible, all bone-in meats (chicken, turkey, ribs) had huge bone to meat ratio. Just sayin'.....

Buy your meal by the pound-great selection

By realst8ace |

We were staying at a downtown hotel when I went out in search of the Dairy Queen to grad a quick breakfast. When I reached Peachtree center I stumbled upon this gemThey had a fabulous breakfast buffet with a wide assortment for $4.99 per pound. I was so impressed with the quality and value that we ate breakfast there twice. I especially liked their cheese omelet and the scalloped apples. Their biscuits are also excellent.

Nice lunch place

By bucks17 |

Lots of options in this place and for a good price. I just had some salad and vegetables but they also had hot dishes, sushi, fruit, etc.

Excellent

By UC1304 |

Excellent variety this place offers a variety of food and you pay by the pound . Everything is fresh and they offer different courses everyday. Reasonably priced and good.

eat there almost every day

By William H |

i eat at this place several times a week, sometimes twice a day. food is sold by the pound; the cashiers are fast and friendly and the food is great.

One stop 4 Breakfast Lunch & Dinner

By Kevin B |

During my visit to Atlanta I dined at several eateries but I have to say I enjoyed my meals at Café Momo's the best. My first day there I tried the breakfast buffet. They offer a fantastic variety of both hot and cold breakfast staples. Everything was well prepared & abundant & very tasty. The last day I went for breakfast again but I was too late & had lunch. Their fried chicken was out of this world delicious & the make this Jerk chicken rice that was perfection. I feel like I wasted a lot of money & time at a bunch of sit down restaurants when I should just come here during my four day visit. Next time I'm in Atlanta it's going to be all about Café Momo.

Good food; fair prices

By Nia W |

I really like this place. Mostly everything I've tried taste good. For breakfast, I usually get turkey sausage, French toast and eggs. They are all great. I've tried other breakfast items and they were all good too. Those are just my go to items. The same goes for lunch. Everything (except for the sushi) is good. The teriyaki chicken is my favorite. I also like the salads. The prices aren't bad. It is about $7 a pound. For breakfast, I usually spend $2 or $3. For lunch between $4 - $7 but mostly around $5. I'm not a fan of buffets but I eat here.

Good value and wide selection

By Paul K |

Quality of virtually all dishes is high. Great variety from southern staples to Chinese to sushi rolls to salads---all looking good and most tasting pretty good. Overloading your to go box may sting at the register so choose carefully, which is difficult to do given how tempting many of the options are.

The best option in the food court

By Glowee |

We were looking for something healthy and fresh to eat when we came across Cafe Momo. We got some fresh baked salmon with jerk rice and string beans. They had other great options from chicken, sushi, fruit, and veggies.

Great deal

By yabbott |

While staying at a nearby hotel, I decided to try out this place for breakfast. I like that the price is by the pound and they had a great selection!

Good value and variety

By AndrewN_TN |

Good, fresh, and cheaply priced breakfast food. There's a wide selection and a variety of some foods prepared in different ways, such as eggs and potatoes. There's also a selection of sausage types if you want. You can pick between chicken, turkey, or beef if you have a preference or on a diet. I didn't have a chance to try it for lunch/dinner but breakfast was extremely tastey.

Nice breakfast

By Jazzgal67 |

I visited Atlanta with my sons (two 6'0 tall gentleman with crazy appetites) and this was our first breakfast stop. The buffet is packed with everything from watermelon to salmon croquettes. Great taste and selection.

Good breakfast buffet value

By counselortravels |

In town for convention and found this place by chance. Great variety of breakfast dishes sold by weight so you only pay for what you eat, about $5 a pound, which was a better value in my opinion than breakfast at the hotel. I was there early (7:30 am) and everything was well stocked then, not sure how things are later in the day. Fruits, egg dishes, hashbrowns, pancakes, lots of bacon, sausages in all shapes and flavors, obviously grits and biscuit since this is the south ;-) You serve and eat at the food court (no tables inside the restaurant. There are other places nearby at Peachtree Center Mall, right off the station entrance. Apparently they have lunch buffet too, but I haven't tried it.

Fresh and hot

By Michelle J |

Good food, lots of variety, always hot and always fresh. What more could you ask for when eating at a food court buffet?

Nice Fresh Fruit

By Larry P |

You pay by the pound at this serve yourself breakfast buffet in the Peach Tree Center Food Court. I was looking for a place to get a nice selection of fresh fruit for my breakfast and stumbled across this place. It is a much better value than a typical hotel breakfast buffet. The only downside was that all the yogurt was sweetened.

Breakfast at Cafe Momo

By rnelson2017 |

Was walking around Peachtree Center and saw a sign that said Breakfast buffet by the pound. I just had to check it out. Cafe Momo offers a great variety of foods for breakfast. It was just great.

Breakfast

By mwhelan100 |

Happily we stumbled across Café Momo and went there a few times for breakfast when in the city. Pickup a tray and put whatever you want in it, pay by weight at the counter and have a great breakfast. We loved the pancakes and waited for them to come out fresh and warm. Set us up for the day.

Quick and tasty. Prices Ok.

By dgriffin2016 |

It's a quick good meal in the Peachtree center food court. They have a nice buffet by weight. If I remember correctly it was $6.99 per pound. It is a mix of chinese and american items, with a few sushi rolls. For a good size plate, expect about $7-$10.

Inexpensive nearby food in Peachtree Plaza

By scooterwa2 |

This was the go-to place for breakfast. Affordable and food decent. Food line style with little waiting.

Large Selection

By DebbieS50 |

I have been eating lunch here for years. There is always a big selection to choose from. The scalloped potatoes are delicious as is the roasted turkey, fried chicken, chicken livers and pot stickers. The layered dip and the avocado, cucumber salad are both very good. Great salad bar as well. This place is the best to grab good food for a quick lunch break. The food is priced by weight so you can have a great lunch for a reasonable price.

No nonsense breakfast!

By Ray21521 |

Cafe Momo is located in the Peach tree Center food court. This cafe offers a large variety of breakfast items in a buffet setting. The food is of a very appropriate quality, the service is quick and efficient, the price is very reasonable.

Solid, quick food in the heart of downtown Atlanta

By Scott B |

It's not 5-star cuisine, but if you want a place you can count on in Peachtree Center Mall this place is good. Food is hot and fresh. Good service. Good variety. The sushi is actually good!

By the Pound!

By Roma739 |

Can't explain it but this place was right up my alley. I paid for my portions and had a huge assortment to chose from. I think they serve only breakfast and lunch
