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.“

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

“I think they changed chiefs, food isn't as good this time around. Also told us they ran out of bread, which was very strange to me. The restaurant on a weekend was dead. My drink also was not the best. Bar is beautiful though, lots of space for bigger parties.“

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

“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!“

“Absolutely so cute! Very tasty treats. Perfect lunch spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Also, easy for a walk to when in Grant Park or the zoo.“

“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. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Best mocha!!!!! Had a very stressful day, and decided to treat myself with a fancy coffee. The lovely people behind the counter were so nice, especially the lady who recommended the best mocha, cookie butter, I think she said, and it was absolute perfection! ?? Chef's kiss!!! Thank you so much for your good energy and making my day so much better! ❤️ I visited Saturday, October 5th, 2024 around 4pm.“

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

“This was my first visit. I called to ask about parking. I didn't get explicit instructions and when I found parking I wasn't sure how to get to the restaurant. There was a long delay in getting drinks. As a matter of fact, another table was sat after my party and they received beverages while we continued to wait. I would say we waited about 20 minutes. We reminded the waiter twice. The water glasses are small and in 90 degree weather you tend to want more water. I had to request a carafe of water because of the small glasses and we all drank lots of water due to the weather. The prosciutto and fruit was tasty. Meatballs were ok. I had the Cache de pepe. My pasta was undercooked, chewy and was warm not hot when it arrived. Nice lively atmosphere but missed the mark.“

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

“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!“

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

“i love this place! we go almost weekly. their coffee is great and their biscuit breakfast sandwiches are PERFECT! i love the vibe of the shop, too, especially when vinyls are available to purchase on the weekends. however, the customer service lacks consistency. there’s only one person who actually smiles and makes it feel welcoming. the others look like you’re bothering them by placing orders. they chat and enjoy each other but when it’s your turn to chat, it’s a different story. i’ll still continue going back but i just wish the customer service was better :/“

“Let me preface by saying that I am not a matcha lover. After this drink, I became a matcha lover. This is a matcha latte with the pistachio cream topping. It’s the best thing I’ve ever tasted, although slightly on the sweeter side . I will be back!“

“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!“

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

“✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“This was a wonderful experience. our waitress Dee was amazing and Ms. Lorraine was amazing as well!! Food was a10/10.... Visit the location on Silvan Street!!!❤️❤️“

“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!“

“Muy rico!!! Just visited for the first time and loved it. Had the Papa Rellena (..deep fried potato that has meat inside) and also had the Calentado con perico (scrambled eggs that has diced tomatoes and onions mixed in with a side of traditional Colombian beans and rice). The service was nice as well. Definitely will be back.“

“It's smaller than I expected inside, but had some seating left even though there were a decent number of paired up people inside. The service counter staff were extremely friendly and helpful, even knowledgeable about which coffee options were single origin. The coffee I selected, an organic Costa Rica blend, was amazing, perfection! The avocado toast was thick, fresh and lumpy (as opposed to being turned into a smear) and I loved it a lot. Much better than most places who water down their avocados with fillers. It was also perfect. I'm excited to come back. It was expensive though - one cup of coffee and avocado toast (one slice) for just under $25 (including a $2 tip for to-go items). I don't like those prices.“

“"I visited Augie’s for the first time on Wednesday, but it definitely won’t be my last. I had the ‘You’re the One I Want,’ and let me tell you—I’ve never had catfish seasoned so perfectly. Every bite was hot, fresh, and full of flavor, right down to the honey butter biscuit. Our server was attentive and personable, giving the best recommendation. This spot is truly a hidden gem in the West End, and I can’t wait to go back!"“

“Delicious French Classics abs an amazing wine selection. ❤️❤️❤️“

“I ordered the Basil Fried Rice with shrimp and it was soooooo damn good! Seasoned well, loads of veggies and big shrimp! The portion that was given was HUGE...I couldn't make a dent in it! Next time I'm in town...Hot Cafe will be my FIRST stop!“

“Although I have been passing this gem for years, literally, I had lunch here at the invitation of a colleague. Loved the service. One of their specialties, chicken and waffles was divine. It came out hot. Well seasoned, crispy skin. Belgium waffles with a crisp on the edges and a moist center. Topped with fresh strawberries and pecans. Assorted syrups were available. I will return.“

“Beautiful food and friendly service.“

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

“Tiff’s Treats is my go-to whenever I’m craving something sweet or need a last-minute gift. The cookies always arrive warm, soft, and freshly baked, which makes the whole experience feel special. Delivery is usually quick and reliable, and the packaging keeps everything neat and presentable.

The chocolate chip and snickerdoodle are my personal favorites, but honestly, every flavor I’ve tried has been delicious. I also appreciate how easy it is to order through their app—super convenient.

The only downside is that prices are a bit on the higher side, but given the quality and the fact that they come straight to your door fresh out of the oven, it feels worth it. Overall, highly recommend Tiff’s Treats for a sweet pick-me-up or thoughtful surprise for friends and family!“

“Today was our first time at Park Grounds. The staff and customer service was excellent (side note: great customer service is often hard to find). The breakfast we got was really good and delivered hot. The coffee we had was also delicious. Our experience just made me happy on a slow, quiet Sunday morning. We will definitely be back soon.“

“I have been here couple of times and I really like the vibe, it was my first time being there for brunch.

Food: I got Shakshouka, it was fine but not the best one considering its price. They charged us 3$ for the extra toast we got which I was not expecting.

Atmosphere: I love the vibe and the interior design of the space.

Service: nice and friendly people.

Parking: you can park in parking lot close to it and they will validate it for two hours.“

“This place is a hidden gem loacted in an office building. The owner is a cute couple and you can tell it's a family operated business. They were patient with me while I was going through the menu. Their smile just made my day.

The food was delicious. I had a chicken salad wrap and a salad. Ingredients were so fresh!

I was surprised at the price and the quality of the food.

I stopped by after googling this place. From now on count me in as a regular. I'll definitely be back!“

“The environment and everything else are pretty good!“

“Coffee is good and service very friendly (altho a bit expensive). The problem is the parking though. I entered the validation code but got a letter a week later demanding I pay $87 as a fine for not paying parking. First the validation didn’t work. Second I will not return to any of that retail if that’s what the parking lot tries to extort from you for if someone does make a legit mistake and not pay. Places like the Battery, Avalon and Atlantic Station don’t do that. Even the city of Atlanta parking ticket is less. It’s sad as I like a lot of the restaurants there. But enforcing that kind of parking ran me off. Silly.“

“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.“

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

“Amazing specialty coffee shop. I tried the espresso and they dialed it in perfectly. Lots of great flavors and no bitterness. The pastries were amazing. We had the chocolate croissant, blueberry muffin and another pastry with some jam on it. The space is wide open and very nice inside. You can also watch them roasting their coffee which is really fun. I highly recommend this spot if you love espresso, a good cortado or lattes!“

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

“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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“always a delight to enjoy 😉“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere and even better musicians!!!! My Monday nights will now consist of Ten ATL!!“

“Very clean, food was excellent?“

“Good atmosphere I like the veggie burger“

“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!“

“This is a go-to spot for weekday dinner takeout. I’ve visited many times, most recently on a weekday in 2025. Prices are affordable, and the biryani is consistently flavorful—especially the kaachi biryani and the mixed gyro and chicken biryani. The samosas are always hot, fresh, and crispy, and the kabab is excellent as well. Highly recommended.“

“I love the food, however they need some serious upgrades w the booths and tables, felt like I was sitting on springs in the booths...:(“
