The Best Panini in Sandy Springs

Panini at Crema Espresso Gourmet near Sandy Springs

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.

The drive from Sandy Springs

Distance
5.2 miles
Drive
about 11 min
Measured from
Sandy Springs City Hall

The easy one to remember, because it is essentially a single road. Mount Vernon Highway becomes Mount Vernon Road and carries 4.9 of the 5.2 miles, so there's no interstate involved and not much to get wrong. Measured from Sandy Springs City Hall it comes out around 11 minutes on a clear run — one podcast episode, near enough.

The panini is made to order, which is rather the point of ordering before you set off from Sandy Springs: we are building it while you drive, so those 11 minutes are the wait rather than being added to it.

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