50 Best Cafes in Atlanta

“Had a wonderful experience with my husband at Bread & Butterfly this morning/afternoon for brunch! Food was amazing, atmosphere was inviting and service was impeccable!!! Highly recommend this restaurant and even got to talk directly with the owner/head chef Bill! If you are in the area or even if not make the drive, it will be well worth it!!! Neighborhood where it is located, Inman Park, is very nice as well with lots of walk-ability and less than 2 miles from downtown Atlanta, so make it a day or weekend trip.“

“Really nice place, good food, nice staff. No complaints!“

“Love the food and the staff and Martin and the lavender latte. Sad the fabulous French toast didn’t come with REAL MAPLE SYRUP! Perhaps charge extra for customers who don’t want corn syrup/ fake maple syrup!“

“This is a great little coffee spot, I stopped in with my 7 year old for a cream cheese bagel and coffee for breakfast and we'll definitely stop in again if we are in the area! The location is on the 2nd floor (which I might have missed when looking for a coffee shop locally to me on Google maps) so dont walk around the building looking for it lol!“

“The service was amazing and the food was perfect.“

“1st time Really Good. Next time will try the sandwiches.“

“I love this place. It’s feels like what a homey coffee shop should feel like. It doesn’t try too hard to be cool. It just simply is. It’s my fav place to grab a drink, pastry and chat with my friends. They also have trivia night, and idk what the schedule is but they’ve also had local musicians play. It’s easily becoming my favorite coffee shop.“

“Everytime I come into Rosie’s , it’s always a warm welcome and great service . I always recommend Nyah as your server !“

“The atmosphere, the delicious breakfast and the excellent service. Faith was our server. So friendly and nice. The background music was good and not too loud 👍 Great experience“

“Great place to get a delicious cup of coffee. They mix up their drip brews so it’s always different, but always awesome.“

“I came to Hot Cafe twice in one week—that’s how good it was.

First visit: I ordered the chicken pho and wow… the broth alone was amazing, almost giving ramen vibes. I also tried the fried chicken wings and the flavor was on point.

Second visit: My cousin got the red coconut curry tofu and it was absolutely amazing. I had the pineapple chicken fried rice, and once again—the flavor did not disappoint.

The Thai tea was great, though I do wish there were a dairy-free option since it’s made with half-and-half. That said, I don’t even like bananas, but their banana egg roll dessert was scrumptious.

The atmosphere is no-frills, but the customer service is a solid 10/10. Friendly, welcoming, and consistent food quality.

Highly recommend—clearly a new favorite. 🍜🔥“

“The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Each bite had a great balance of seasoning and texture that kept me wanting more. I’d definitely come back again and recommend it to anyone looking for a satisfying meal. Thank you to my server Desaray. I definitely recommend her.“

“It's a new place that is in a place that wasn't for me. No hate, but I don't think to-go floppy pasta is necessary.

My initial and full review is me via ordering mobile and picking it up. I've watched the space change and have gotten interested. A person from Atlanta, older than me, said it was worth it. So, of course.

I ordered mobile, as I was taking MARTA to do some shopping at Publix and it's THERE at 8pm. Perfect. I ordered when in a different MARTA station and it was ready when I arrived.

Here's the best part: I was new, so almost like a dummy, I waited in line and got to appreciate the decor and the atmosphere and the conversations the group of people ordering ahead of me when I walked in.

Half way through I figured out, via taking in the space, that I could walk to the end part of the counter to pick up my mobile order, but at this point I was all in. I genuinely enjoyed taking time to overhear orders and looking at the case of incredible things, and how orders were taken.

Of course my drink was ready and I got pointed to five feet beyond, but my iced beverage was excellent and kept in a fridge, cause they probably had it made 10 minutes before and my ask for extra ice mattered. Also, I have feelings about how much half & half places add to my coffee order. Just the perfect amount. Obviously one can order without or say/ask for something specific, but I wanted to see what they'd do as default and it was exact.

I need this place to keep being a thing. I loved it.

And while I know we all hate plastic and stuff, OMG THE CUPS ARE AMAZING!“

“Beautiful food and friendly service.“

“One of my besties that knows how much I love food adventures caught me in an in-between moment and we met here. I hadn't checked out the menu or website so I really had no idea what I was walking into.

We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals but I do not recall what my friend had. I had the Shakshouka which the description does it no justice. The dish was full of flavor and surprisingly light. I highly recommend it!“

“On a mission to have breakfast today, without waiting in a long line, I stumbled on a jewel in the former location of soul food restaurants, Deacon Burton’s/Son’s Place in Inman Park. The Breakfast Burrito, Salmon on Toast, champagne, etc., were delicious and Complimentary!! Unbeknown to us, restaurant was having a “private intro” to the community and a staff training event. Melanie (Owner/Host) welcomed us in like we were family. Her husband Micheal was so excited to hear about my many visits to Deacon Burton’s. Can’t wait to go back. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“The atmosphere was great, food was delicious, great vibe, positive vibe.“

“I first discovered this café through their catering service, and it immediately made a great impression. It was the most reasonably priced option I found, everything was freshly made, and the entire experience—from ordering to pickup—was smooth and pleasant.

Since then, I’ve visited many times, and it’s become one of my favorite cozy neighborhood spots. The sandwiches are consistently delicious and thoughtfully prepared, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The family who owns and runs the café is genuinely kind, attentive, and incredibly hard-working. Especially in this harsh economy, it’s clear they put their heart and effort into what they do and truly care about their customers and community.

This is a wonderful local café that deserves support. Highly recommend for both catering and everyday visits.“

“The environment and everything else are pretty good!“

“Absolutely great customer service and excellent food and coffee! Came after the Taylor Swift Concert and the place was hoppin’! The staff were all awesome and friendly even with how busy they were. The coffee was excellent, Lavender Haze on the Taylor’s menu was chefs kiss! They were even kind enough to make my 8 year old a Taylor’s version hot chocolate with a little lavender in it! Food was delicious! We will absolutely be back on our next Atlanta visit!“

“I ordered a devil's food cake for my husband's birthday last week and Yamesia absolutlely delivered. I had a hard time finding a baker who knew what a devil's food cake was. Not the case with Yamesia. The cake was delicious, moist with true deep chocolate flavor. The icing was light and not overly sweet. We had a sheet cake and usually there is cake left over at most of the parties I have attended in the last few years. This is my forever cake artist, decorator and baker. Kudos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“visit Sparseland Studios one of the oldest running creatives space in westend!“

“The best! Most delicious! Try a Rachel Panda bear!!!“

“Love the patio for coffee in the morning, drinks in the evening are very nice.“

“The service was stellar! The gentleman preparing the food was extraordinarily patient, going above and beyond to ensure that all of my questions were answered and that I was comfortable with my food choices. He seemed to truly care.

Food was great! I appreciated the many organic ingredients and the plethora of clean menu options. Would have loved more fruit in my acai bowl but the granola made up for it. Egg sandwich was good but would have been better hot.

I could see myself becoming a regular here!“

“The food and coffee here is really tasty! My boyfriend and I had a chai, cappuccino, spicy potato empanadas, and kouign Amman between us. Everything was really good, but the prices are on the high side. I would definitely go back, but not frequently!“

“I went here to edit a few videos and to get out of the house. The place has plenty of seating. I got a matcha and an English muffin for breakfast which were both delicious! I would 100% go back. They also have 2hr free parking that was very helpful! I went on a Sunday morning 😊“

“The SWEETEST lady works the front counter (owner). She is from Busan so her accent is cute and she is so friendly. The Bingsoo is refreshing and not overly sweet. Good portions and fair price.
They have mini boonguhbbang (taiyaki ). Love this little spot!“

“The smoothies here are very good!!! You literally can taste every single ingredient in the smoothie. I will say that it's better than Smoothie King and some of the other big name brands that we are accustomed to. If you're ever in the area stop by and grab a Boozie Smoothie. A lot of healthy choices and the food is on go!!! Give it a try, I guarantee you won't be disappointed!!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾“

“I love this place. Plenty plant based/ vegan options, and they also have things prepared so you don’t wait at all. The flavor in the hummus wrap is incredible. So many vegetables that perfectly pair. Just wow. I’ll be back!“

“1st time here! Great decor and atmosphere. Staff were awesome and helpful amazing Apple lemon slush! 🍏🍋“

“I love this part of town and it’s not too far from the King Memorial MARTA station. I finally stopped in last week for breakfast and think it’s a great value meal for the area. My skillet was delicious and I’ve had coffee here in the past. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Although I am not one to typically leave reviews, I feel it is necessary to express my admiration for this establishment. The EXCEPTIONAL staff is the main reason for my repeated visits. Their constant positive attitudes are truly remarkable. The location is convenient for me as it is within walking distance from my home and the prices are very reasonable for the high-quality food, as well as the variety on their menu!“

“always a delight to enjoy 😉“

“Very clean, food was excellent?“

“I’ve gone in the last decade or so, I’ve tried a different cake/cheesecake slice. And every single time, I’m left feeling perfectly satisfied. The ambiance exudes “European decadence”, from the intricate bathroom detailing to the delicate cursive script written inside the coffee cups. Moreover, I always love how many people are also here near midnight with a slice and coffee in-hand, especially on those random weeknights. Absolutely one of my favorite spots in the city, and it checks all the boxes to be considered a must-visit spot for anyone.“

“I discovered this place because I work in the building, but it is an absolute gem! Food is great. Owner is friendly. Prices are very reasonable. I would go out of my way to come here now that I have discovered it. I will definitely still be stopping by even on my off days ?“

“Delicious. Worth the ride from Cumming“

“Great Homemade Saturday Morning Breakfast! Good people too! I always want to support Black Owned and Local! #BenHillBeenReal❤️💙“

“This place is truly a hidden gem! They offer a wide variety of items to choose from, and the staff provides professional and friendly service with quick turnaround. The portion sizes are definitely worth your money, and I can't wait to return to try more of their delicious food. Highly recommended!“

“Nice little cafe. Food is good, made quick, for a good price. Best food option if you're in or around the hospital.

I got the bacon egg and cheese croissant and some snacks. There are some tables and chairs to eat at.

Also tried the club sandwich. Also good.“

“Food and service excellent. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable . Food is very flavorful and delicious! Surprised they did not offer bread with meal. Dessert and apéritif Very good as well. We sat in the patio with heaters. Very nice“

“The gentleman behind the counter was pleasant and helpful. But the food!!! I got the Grilled Caesar Wrap and The Incredible and everything was amazing, it was seasoned perfectly and all tasted so fresh. I will definitely return when I come to visit Atlanta again.“

“Gabriel was our tech who arrived and installed our new Eversys machine and he was amazing ! I always love when individuals in the service industry remember your name and use your name in conversation. Gabriel was great with providing information to me on how to care for our new espresso machine while also being super chill and understanding with all the questions that I asked him. Overall, just felt very reassured and supported during our installation appointment and I hope he continues to be our tech in the future ! Bronnies big ups to him !!!!!!!“

“Ashley(?) the cashier Barista :) was so kind & helpful to my husband while he ordered. Our food was delicious: creamy grits -a Southern staple! breakfast bowl was plentiful! My husbae the pancake lover said they were so good - fluffy with a little crisp edges and flavorful. I marveled at the quality and the reasonable prices!“

“I would like too be apart of the team“

“Bijan and Gabby are a power duo! They are so friendly the energy of the cafe is a place you want to go. Everything I’ve ever had from the Pinnacle Cafe has been stellar - the Jamaican chicken, curry chicken salad wrap, gyro special are special standouts. Highly recommend you check it out!!“

“Beautiful space, delicious BLAT sandwich ($22). I got the Americano ($6) which was just fine. Pricey but nice place to work for a few hours. I walked past Einsteins Bagels to come here knowing I would pay more to work in a more pleasant place. WiFi didn’t connect but used the anywair WiFi.“

“Got the brisket Quesadilla with Brussel sprouts. The sprouts stole the show! The quesadilla had a very strong bacon flavor which, they cannot remove the bacon even if you ask as it is pre-prepared. Bottles of water are $4. No water cup option. Good place if you’re at the mart and in a pinch!“
