Academy Coffee Reviews
Walked in right as they were putting out bags of coffee beans for sale. The lady was super sweet while explaining to me the different beans (I’m a bit new to the making quality coffee at home scene). She definitely made the experience a positive one!
Such good coffee! my boyfriend and i come here everytime we come to atlanta and i’ve tried so many places here and this one is the best! i’m a big specialty coffee drinker and i usually get a flat white and it is so fruity and flavorful. my boyfriend is the opposite and always gets something sweet and he loves his coffee too. the food is incredible as well. just keep in mind you’ll be sitting outside which is very cute but not a lot of seating when it gets busy....read full review
Great place 👌

Academy Coffee is a charming spot that serves fantastic drinks. The dirty chai latte and flat whites are highly praised, with one reviewer claiming it's the best they've had in the USA. The drink menu is diverse and creative, featuring unique infusions and flavors alongside classic drinks. The craft lattes have wild and wonderful flavor profiles, offering something out of the ordinary and guaranteed delicious. The bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich is made using products from the butcher shop in the back and is well-complemented by a flavorful aioli and peppery arugula. The veggie patty breakfast sandwich is also a standout, with one reviewer saying it will haunt them forever. The shop also offers a ceremonial grade matcha, which is delicious and well-made, along with a variety of farm-to-table snacks and goods in their market.
The outdoor seating area is spacious, with plenty of tables to enjoy the weather, though indoor seating is limited to two cozy window nooks. Customers may find it is not ideal for lingering, but the atmosphere is bright and welcoming. The coffee program rotates beans from different roasters, and the employees are passionate about coffee, making it a great experience to chat while sipping drinks. The inside has a utility deli vibe, but the outside area provides a beautiful and relaxed atmosphere. Academy Coffee also operates as a butcher shop, offering locally sourced and freshly butchered cuts of meat. This commitment to quality and community makes it a great example of slow food. Overall, Academy Coffee is definitely worth checking out for its incredible quality, unique offerings, and great location near Emory University.
