The Best Panini in Brookhaven

Panini at Crema Espresso Gourmet near Brookhaven

Gourmet European paninis pressed warm on ciabatta. The Tuscany with boiled egg, tomato, red onion, Kalamata olives, basil and a hint of sriracha; a pesto, mozzarella and tomato; and the Spicy Southern with turkey breast, spicy aioli and mozzarella. Made when you order it.

Why ours is worth the trip

Pressed warm to order with fresh ingredients, it's a proper café lunch — the bread crisps, the filling melts into it, and it goes out while that's still true.

Pairs perfectly with an iced latte or a fresh salad.

Easy to reach from Brookhaven

About 15 minutes up from Brookhaven, on Mount Vernon Road in Dunwoody, worth the trip for something baked fresh that morning.

The drive from Brookhaven

Distance
7.9 miles
Drive
about 15 min
Measured from
Brookhaven City Hall

The longest of the three runs, and the one worth a little planning. From Brookhaven City Hall on Peachtree Road it's about 7.9 miles: up onto Peachtree Boulevard, then west across Tilly Mill Road, which lands near 15 minutes when the road is clear. Far enough that ordering before you set off genuinely changes the trip rather than saving you thirty seconds.

The panini is made to order, which is rather the point of ordering before you set off from Brookhaven: we are building it while you drive, so those 15 minutes are the wait rather than being added to it.

Distance and time measured from Brookhaven City Hall with OpenStreetMap routing. Free-flow, so treat it as a clear-run figure rather than a promise at 8am.
