One of my favorite breakfast spots in the city that also doubles as my go-to coffee spot on weekday mornings.
As others have mentioned, it's located on the back end of No Mas, so it is off Walker Street, right next to Bottle Rocket (although it can also be accessed through No Mas). It's a cozy little space with tons of seating. I eat breakfast/brunch here at least once a week and have never had to wait for a table or experienced slow service. That alone is pretty amazing!
The food is outstanding and the prices are beyond reasonable. I normally get the southwest omelette, which is huge and comes with fruit and 2 cheese filled biscuit things, for like $8. Dining companions have raved about the benedict. I'm sure it doesn't hurt that it almost looks like a work of art! The accompanying fruit is carved into pretty shapes! I alternate between their coffee, which is rich and smooth, and their mimosas, that come in flavors like mango and guava - yuuum.
I normally try to sprint out of there before I am overcome by the temptation to get a peanut butter whoopie pie. Those things are insane! (-ly delicious) And you can always order from the No Mas menu as well, which is nice if it's crazy busy over there.
They keep solid operating hours so I can stop in either before work or also later at night if that damn whoopie pie is calling my name! -

Oh my, if you like heat, this is the place to be! Unlike many adjacent areas, parking is plentiful, and the ambience is interesting indoors, with a scattering of long tables and high backed booths. There is a shop adjacent if you feel like shopping after (or before) eating.
I was blown away by their Mayan Mocha, I told them I like it spicy and I got it spicy! Just the right amount of sweet and hot, I know I'll be back for more.
I had their take on eggs benedict and it was interesting particularly the corn cake base. The salsa and side sauces were nothing to write home about, but that mocha...mmm, I am not sure if I can go a full 24 hours without another one of those. -

I have a weakness for chocolate, so when I strolled by ADios' desserts and chocolate bar to go to the Hacienda to shop, I knew I had to come back. The kind person behind the counter saw my friend and I hmming over which chocolates to pick, so she let us sample. We picked the horchata chocolate. I'm not a fan of horchata, but I thought this tasted close to white chocolate with a hint of cinnamon. A lof of chocolates are different sizes, so I ended up picking the flavors that come in the largest size (for $1.25 you bet I'm getting my $'s worth!!). I got fancy with 2 pieces each of Bailey's, strawberry tequila, and Chambord. I'm so glad I bought these and I would definitely come back again for more.
I also bought a Chocolate Azteca since it was the afternoon. Delicious and very sweet. Maybe a bit too sweet, but it is definitely chocolate and not chocolate-flavored water. I didn't like the bottom so much since I nearly got cinnamon burn (ingestion of too much cinnamon), but I definitely want to come back again to try breakfast/brunch.
My only complaint is that the space is so small. I can't imagine how brunch would be handled. Plus, there was a pack of laughing hyenas in the middle of the cafe that I could hardly hear myself think. I wanted to yell "No mas!" at them.
Good chocolate, friendly service, good chocolate, wi-fi available, good chocolate, free sample (be nice!), good chocolate. I'm a fan and I definitely want to come back. -

Adios is inside of or adjacent to No Mas Hacienda. I had coffee here once with a business associate and the atmosphere is conducive to casual deal making. Enjoyed it!

This is my go-to meeting spot in the city, free wi-fi (though SkyBlox drives me nutty sometimes), great coffee, plus you can order off the No Mas menu and pickup to go from here, not to mention it's in walking distance to me. Aysia and the folks that work in here are on top of it and as long as I stay away for the oh-so-delicious pastry and chocolate treats I'm good to go! PS - the Mexican Hot Chocolate is awesome and if you want it super spicy they can do that too, but don't say I didn't warn you!

A friend and I go to breakfast every Sunday mornin. (Too early if you ask me, and yes I still go) We were looking for a new adventure and he suggested Adios Cafe. Last Sunday we went. I am so in love with this place. First, because we went at 830 am, it was not overly crowded and we did not have to WAIT. 2nd the server was very friendly and laughed at my not being awake yet jokes. 3rd the MEXICAN COFFEE was to die for. It has rented space in my head ever since. I want to go by there to get a to go coffee. and finally...... the f o o d! I licked my plate clean. I had the mexican eggs benedict. I fell in love. I told the server I wanted to marry whoever made them. Then I asked if it was a male or female. Guess I am marrying a female. LOL If you have issues with the food here.... you ..... are..... cah-razy! Looking forward to next SUnday returning here!!!!!! Sad sidenote: my friend is on this paleo diet and this may not be the best place for him. I will do my best to beg and plead for a return!!!!

I can't believe I haven't written about this place yet. Been going here regularly for at least a year, and I always get the same thing on Sunday mornings because it's sooooo yummy: eggs benedict. If you like benedict, the Adios preparation takes it to a whole 'nother level: corncakes on the bottom, layered with strips of bacon, poached eggs (2), topped by hollandaise. Free wifi, never a wait for seats, delicioso Aztec hot chocolate (intense chocolate with a little kick from cayenne...my guy can't get enough of this stuff), and good prices. I only wish it was closer to my (Buckhead) neighborhood. But then it would be crowded and we'd never get a seat.

Note...Adios Cafe is next door to No Mas Cantina (inside No Mas Hacienda). That's why directions to all 3 take you to the same place. :)
Pretty decent drink selection from speciality coffees (examples like chocolate mexicana, mocha tamarindo and cafe de olla) to standard coffee and tea options. All our drinks were well prepared and delicious. Prices are ok...tad high, but flavors were good. Service was a little slow, but friendly.
Overall...another great place to grab a cup of joe.Listed in: Coffee...drink of champions!

No mas return. I couldn't think of much positive to put about this place and am baffled at the people who enjoyed their experience there. The place was completely dead on a Sunday at 9. We were doubting if they were even open, as there was someone hosing off the outside.
A friendly young lady greeted us and told us to sit anywhere. After several minutes she returned and took our order. It appeared that our order was brought to the wrong table, because the table that sat down after us got their food right after they ordered.
I tried the blue corn hotcakes with chocolate Mexicana and my husband had the southwest omelet and Mayan mocha. The hotcakes were like lead. The whole time I was eating them, I was just wishing they had fluffy buttermilk pancakes instead. Not sure where the passion fruit butter was. Mine came out of a packet. The hot chocolate was nothing special at all. My husband's omelet was just okay. Something that you'd be somewhat satisfied with if you made yourself, but just meh to pay money for. His Mayan mocha was just okay too.
The service was barely existent. I saw people getting up and asking for items. Considering there were no more than four or five customers in there at a time, I didn't understand the disconnect. The inside also didn't feel very clean. Like I said, no return planned for the future. -

One of my absolute fave breakfast spots! Luckily not too many people know about this place which is a great thing b/c I cannot stand waiting an hour for breakfast in this city. Very unique breakfast experience. Reasonably priced. I love every item i have tried. I strongly suggest you try the blue corn pancakes with passion fruit butter. Wash it all down with mango or passion fruit nectar.

My husband and I spent last weekend at our favorite hotel in Atlanta, and on Sunday morning I used Yelp to find a local restaurant that serves breakfast or lunch after 12:00, which was our check-out time, and ADios Cafe seemed to fit the bill.
Finding the cafe was a bit difficult, just because it's in an area I'd never expect to find a restaurant at all, much less a clean one! We second-guessed our directions, but the cafe was right where it was supposed to be, with plenty of parking.
The layout was a little confusing because I'd read reviews of ADios Cafe, but the food mentioned in the reviews actually comes from No Mas Cantina and the cafe is in a separate area.
We ate at the cantina, which I've also left a review for. I ordered a double espresso with milk, chocolate and chili from the cafe (not sure of the drink's name) and it was AMAZING. Like the very best hot chocolate I've ever had - with a kick. The chili made it spicy, but not *too* spicy. If you're thinking that chili with chocolate and espresso sounds gross, even my husband (who is far pickier than even I when it comes to beverages) really enjoyed it.
On the way out, we stopped back into the cafe for some dessert to go. None of the liquor-inspired truffles ($1.25 each) really appealed to us, so I decided to get a cupcake. Again, I don't remember the name of the cupcake, but it was chocolate (with an almost brownie consistency) with a bit of caramel sauce in the middle and topped with what I believe was a caramel buttercream frosting drizzled with more caramel sauce. It was pretty good, probably 3.5 out of 5 stars ($3 and some change). I'm not a fan of cold cupcakes and this one came from a cooler case, but I did like that the frosting wasn't overly sweet and the cupcake was a decent size.
Overall, I can't wait to go back and try another drink. I'm tempted to give the cafe 5 stars just because of how wonderful my drink was, but that's probably not accurate since I only tried one item from the drink menu! -

This is a nice little tuck away for Sunday brunch. It is hiding in the corner of the No Mas Hacienda.
I ordered these heavenly blue corn cakes with butter and syrup and enjoyed every bite. The prices for brunch weren't horrible either no more than $8 on average per plate.
This may be my new Sunday tradition. -

I had a great charming little breakfast here last weekend and it was BOMB. The food was really authentic with a home cooked taste. I had great overall experience and the atmosphere was superb. I LOVE this place you won't want to miss it. Can't wait to try No Mas for lunch or dinner. You can even get married here...this place is huge people. It needs its own zip code.

Review from Zack E.
Good stuff. I stopped in here since I never got a chance to visit the place with the SugarComa tour.
I like their coffee selection. As much as I like my coffee black, I can't deny the delicious of some of these drinks. Favorite has to be the mocha tamarindo, which has espresso, hot chocolate and tamarind sauce. Sweet and slightly tart all at once. It's practically so rich it's a dessert on it's own.
Chocolates are solid at only $1.25 each, with the grand marnier and the tequila strawberry being my favorites. Had their Cuatro Leches, a very "so and so" variation of the Tres Leches, except with uhh, one more Leche? Really milky, not a ton of flavor. Also tried the Pastel con Berries, which is a cheesecake with a bunch of fresh fruits. Nice. Definitely the better of the two sampled desserts.
Service was warm and friendly. Natalie was fun and chatty since there weren't too many other folks there to tend to on Sunday evening. I like the decor of the place. Like having desserts in the frigging amazon.
Free WiFi and everything too. So yeah, nice spot.Listed in: It's not easy finding a good…

Adios Cafe is located right next to No Mas Cantina inside No Mas Hacienda. The area that once housed candles and soap is now a cafe that sells specialty coffee from South America, desserts and homemade chocolates. Everything really looked good and I was happy to hear that everything was made on-site.
I tried one of the Mexican coffees and it was FANTASTIC! It had chocolate in it and a hint of chili pepper to give it a nice kick. I also tried one of their fruit empanadas and it was delicious. Cakes, cookies, muffins, meat empanadas, etc... are also available as well as another case that featured homemade chocolates with many different exotic flavors.
They also have very early and late hours from 7AM-10PM and are open 7 days a week! Definitely a necessity for the Castleberry Hill Neighborhood and I look forward on coming here again! -

The Grand Marnier truffle I ate last night was almost as good as an orgasm. Following it, I indulged in wonderful Vanilla Bean ice cream which is among many other flavors Adios has including Avocado Citrus. Good thing I went to the gym that morning.
I would be seriously ecstatic to have one of their chocolates every day, with an array of Top Shelf Liquor-Inspired chocolates, like Patron and Grand Marnier. I think Disarrono is calling to be a part of that list asap!Listed in: Starting the day right...

My favorite new chill spot, whenever I drop by the nearby library.
Drinks/pastries here are $2 or so more than what you expect... bbbut everything's fresh as hell and the drink's I've tried (dulce de leche frapp, mexican coffee, cappuccino breve) are fucking amazing. I always make sure to get a blondie(to die for), plenty of bailey's and strawberry/tequila chocolates(only $1.25).
I'm now in love with the strawberry/tequila cupcake. I've only had top-par cupcakes here. None rely on frosting and sugar for taste--an ATL rarity.
I also adore Alon's and the Buckhead Breakfast Co.... but Adios is the coolest for a quick/chill break in the middle of nowhere. The brunch menu looks great... can't wait to try the blue corn pancakes.
It's never too crowded(oops) and (despite hard-as-fuck chairs) a great, slow-pace spot to work. -

Came here for chocolate truffles, ice cream and hot chocolate. It was pretty good, but I still think its overpriced for what you get.
The hot mexican chocolate definitely had some kick to it. Enough for me to find it enjoyable, but my very sensitive taste bud friend thought it was too spicy. The chocolates here are amazing. I basically managed to try every. My favorites are the Chipotle Chocolates and the Cinnamon Chocolates. They provide a contrasting spiciness to the dark chocolate without overwhelming it.
The Mango ice cream was pretty good. Homemade, not too sweet, and it had enough tartness, which I think most places don't have.
The Chocolate ice cream was a winner. Dark chocolate which was smooth and packed plenty of flavor.
My friend's ice cream cake was truly a disappointment. It was definitely not fresh and had a weird aftertaste. And he paid 4 dollars for a small slice. Oh well.
In the end, the stuff here is ok to good, but the prices here are too expensive for what you're getting in my opinion.Listed in: Breakfast/Bunch Places

I have eaten here more than a half dozen times so it's safe to say, this place rocks! Delicious Organic coffee, the best breakfast ambiance in Atlanta, consistently delicious food, terrific service, and hardly ever crowded. After your delicious breakfast, you have to go to the No Mas gift store for unique amazing items for your house. They just came out with these hand made coffee mugs that I've never seen anywhere else and they are only five bucks.

I so wanted to like this place. The decor was beautiful - Frida y Diego artwork, images of Mary and wooden crosses, fountains and clay pottery. I was expecting food as great as I had in Mexico, but the food here was disappointing unless you love extra spicy food (not in a good way), or if heartburn is your thing. I had the Southwest omelette - suggested by the waitress after I told her that I don't want anything spicy. Even without the jalapenos, the omelet was too spicy - egg wrapped around the spiciest salsa I've ever had (I wonder if the chef messed up and added twice the spice because I've had lots of spicy food before, but here I felt sick). The cheese rolls and sour cream that came with the omelet were just what I needed to save my tongue. I ate the egg and sour cream and left the salsa behind. Hours later, I still have heartburn and feel sick. I have never been a fan of spicy food, but I think of myself as having a strong stomach and relatively high tolerance for spice. As I said before, I love Mexican food, so maybe the chef messed up and added twice as much spice to my meal instead of leaving out the jalapenos (I didn't see jalapenos so maybe he added more red chili?). Thinking that my mouth and stomach needed a break, I ordered a hot chocolate. I asked the waitress for something not too spicy. I had three sips of the chocolate azteca (I asked for half the regular amount of spice, and I'm sure the waitress was trying to help) and I felt ill. I asked for whipped cream, which helped, but I basically spent $13 for heartburn and an empty stomach (couldn't eat much). The chili de arbol aside, the hot chocolate tasted like Swiss Miss and was too watery. I was expecting the thick, rich bean to cup chocolate - like I had in Mexico or at Rick Bayless' Xoco in Chicago - their version of Azteca is made of fresh-ground chocolate, water, chile, and allspice, and costs much less and is delightfully, pleasantly spicy. I finally understood all the 5 star reviews: A flier at the counter promises free coffee if you show your raving yelp review. Disgusting!

I'm sitting here in the middle of Adios Cafe, sipping on a DELICIOUS Mayan Mocha and making good use of their free wifi. I can't tell you how refreshing this new addition has been to Atlanta. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, immersed in Mexican and Chicano culture until I moved to Atlanta. My favorite Coffee shop at home, which I lovingly referred to as my office, was the latino-owned Espresso Mi Cultura. And my favorite drink? Their Mexcian Mocha.
This is my second visit to Adios and I am happy to say that they have surpassed any expectation I could have had! Their Mayan Mocha? Better than its LA counterpart that I love so much! Their breakfast menu? Spicy, authentic, AFFORDABLE, with perfect portions.
My first visit was during a buffet fundraiser, where I had the opportunity to taste all of their new breakfast offerings. I am not exaggerating by saying it was all delicious! My particular favorites? The breakfast burrito and the blue corn pancakes. This place is new and therefore much quieter than other breakfast spots on a Sunday morning. I planned on heading over to the Tilt Room (another great addition to Castleberry Hill) after I ate. But these new comfy leather seating areas and the free wifi have made it impossible to leave! -

My wife I shared their version of Eggs Benedict and the corn pancakes.
The egg dish was great. Its served over a soft polenta instead of a muffin and the hollandaise is just a little spicy. The mix of flavors is really good!
The corn pancakes were OK but nothing special. I'd try something else next time.
Service was very pleasant. They had plent of time to give us attention since there was just one other breakfast customer on the weekday we visited.
Its a very big interesting-looking place, with a large Mexican restaurant, nice outdoor dining area, a store selling Mexican artworks of all kinds and large Mexican sculpture - all for sale. Next time we'll try it for dinner.
We also took a few of their pastries and candies to go. They were definitely worth the calories. -

I was seriously impressed by this place. We came for breakfast , the place was a ghost town... on a Sunday at 10...in Atlanta??? Adios Cafe is kinda in a courtyard of No Mas cantina (with lots of parking), and they do serve breakfast from 8-11am. Go try it! Empty places have a tendency to not stay in business, so I hope that people will go so that the next time I decide to actually go downtown for brunch, it's still there!
It's not any more expensive than most brunch places ($7-9 per plate), the dishes keep well to the theme, and everything we had was great! The drinks are $4-5 each, although it's a GIANT mug full of delicious. I had a Mocha Tamarindo, which is about the consistency of motor oil, and I don't think it's actually possible to finish it...loved it. My husband's mexican hot chocolate was a fair amount lighter, still tasty. For meals we had the blue corn hotcakes and the eggs benedict. I'd easily recommend either. Plenty of food for the money too.
The desserts and chocolates looked fabulous, but after my steaming mug of delicious chocolate tamarind motor oil, I just didn't have any room left! -
