Dunwoody restaurant openings in early 2025 included CT Taqueria at Campus 244, Cuddlefish and Rosetta Bakery at High Street, Steak & Grace in Dunwoody Village, Chubby Cattle at Perimeter Mall, and new ice cream from Van Leeuwen and Good Vibes. Mark Galvin of Discover Dunwoody also explains the free monthly Discover Dunwoody trolley tour.
Ice cream spots are popping up all over town! Good Vibes is bringing a retro ice cream and soda shop to Funwoody, and Van Leeuwen is opening at Park Place. Rosetta Bakery is opening its second Atlanta location at High Street, which is also getting Cuddlefish, a sushi and seafood market.
CT Taqueria is getting ready to open at Campus 244, a big new mixed-use project. From steakhouses to sushi, Dunwoody’s restaurant scene is on fire, and Discover Dunwoody’s trolley tour is the perfect way to try it all.

Mark Galvin from Discover Dunwoody ran through what was coming as of early 2025:
- CT Taqueria at Campus 244, opening around St. Patrick’s Day
- Cuddlefish at High Street, a restaurant, bakery and seafood market in one
- Steak & Grace, an upscale steakhouse in the old First Watch space in Dunwoody Village
- Van Leeuwen Ice Cream at Park Place

- Chubby Cattle, a Korean BBQ and hot pot spot at Perimeter Mall
With all these Dunwoody restaurant openings, and between Jeni’s, Van Leeuwen and Good Vibes, Dunwoody might be the ice cream capital of Atlanta.
What Is Campus 244?
Campus 244 is a mixed-use project just off I-285 that mixes office, retail, dining and community space, with CT Taqueria as one of the first Dunwoody restaurant openings there. Mark talked about how it’s designed to be walkable and bring more people and energy to that part of Dunwoody.
High Street Keeps Growing
High Street is turning into a real walkable core, with apartments, shops and destination dining. Cuddlefish and Rosetta Bakery were two of the big names headed there.
The Discover Dunwoody Trolley Tour
This is one of the best things to do in Dunwoody, and it’s free. The trolley tour runs the second Thursday of every month at 1:30 p.m. and stops at places like Hawkers, Hob Nob, Agave Bandito and NFA Burger for tastings.
It started as a way for hotel staff to learn the restaurants they recommend to guests. Now it’s a community favorite. I even hosted a special edition on my birthday.
Find Events on Discover Dunwoody
Mark recommends the Discover Dunwoody events calendar for festivals, tastings, live music and more. Businesses and nonprofits can submit their own events too.
Traditions Still Matter
With all the new stuff, Dunwoody still loves its traditions. Discover Dunwoody is a big part of the 4th of July Parade, and their collectible pool balls have become a thing people look for every year.
