This may not be a "sit-and-work/etc" coffee shop - only two very cozy window nooks to sit inside + some limited outdoor seating - but that is truly the only trade-off with Academy.
The coffee program rotates beans regularly to different roasters, the specialty drinks are varied and well-rounded, and the folks behind the bar are huge (coffee) nerds in all the best ways. Highly recommend just standing at the bar talking coffee while you sip, if you're into that kind of thing.
Oh yeah, and then you realize you're not only in a coffee shop of incredible quality, BUT ALSO A BUTCHER SHOP?!?!!! That means the banger breakfast menu is being sliced/chopped/cut and prepared fresh right there before your eyes (and the eyes of the pig head they just wheeled in). They carry locally sourced and freshly butchered cuts of everything from chicken to cow. Great example of slow food: local-sourced produce and meats and ownership that cares about the community they're contributing to.
Simply the best.

Had the chance to spend the evening in Virginia Highlands, and this place looked so cute I had to stop in! Employees are friendly and patient, and the prices are on par with Starbucks, though portion sizes are pretty small. Indoor seating is very limited, but outdoor seats are available. Definitely worth checking out! But this probably won't be a repeat visit for me.

$1 to make a sandwich veggie, is a trope of an up charge. Iced coffee filled to the brim with regular ice (not frozen coffee ice) is another missed opportunity at being the best.

Really loved this coffee/butcher shop! The place has a lot of customers but still makes some delicious coffee and sandwiches in a timely manner. The baristas are very kind, genuine, and down to earth. I had an egg & cheese sandwich it was the best I've had in a long time! Really recommend stopping by and giving them a try. Thank you to the staff of Academy, especially George, for a great morning coffee & breakfast. ?

Delicious flat white - probably the best espresso I’ve had in the ATL area. I’ll definitely be back!

What an awesome place for coffee and breakfast. We stopped in before Porchfest to grab a latte and found that they also have an awesome selection of fresh produce and a butcher! The steaks looked insane.
What I wasn’t ready for was the effing BREAKFAST SANDWICH. Holy crap, I got the double and the lady recommended sausage and bacon… I can’t really explain how good this sandwich was. The bread is super fresh, sausage and bacon were top quality, and there was some kind of marinated onions in there with cheese and fluffy egg. Unbelievable!
One of the best flat whites that I've had in the USA. A brilliant breakfast sandwich too! Lots of seating outside, but it would be hard to just hangout and connect. Excellent coffee!!

Best iced coffee I've had in my entire life (The Stuntman). The chai latte was also delicious, wonderfully layered flavors and foamed to perfection (The Tilly Tilly). Me and my friends were baffled how good the drinks were

Awesome unique latte, super smooth and the espresso itself was good. The barista was super helpful and kind :)Some indoor working space/ table would have been nice for a longer stay. All in all, good coffee, and experience, thanks!
