The Mall at Stonecrest + Great American Cookies

It’s a foodie’s paradise featuring Malaysian street food, Asian fusion small plates, and Instagram-worthy drinks. Think: roti, curry, and bubble tea after a day of cultural discovery.

Second Life Upscale Resale + Refuge Coffee Co. (Clarkston)

If thrifting is your thing, Second Life Upscale Resale in Avondale Estates is a must. It’s one of DeKalb’s best resale spots with fashion, home goods, and quirky finds. After scoring big, cruise over to Refuge Coffee Co. in nearby Clarkston for a latte or iced chai in their converted fire truck café. It’s caffeine with a mission—supporting job training for refugees and immigrants.
