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.“

“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!“

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

“Our flight was cancelled, and we got stuck overnight at a hotel nearby. This place ended up being our favorite meal of our trip to Atlanta. Such friendly service, food came out fast, and it was seriously delicious. The food tasted as authentic as I've had, making me feel like I was back in South East Asia. If I ever get stuck in ATL airport again for a long delay, I'll be excited because it means I can eat here again.“

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

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

“My favorite place ever. The vibes are wonderful always! During the day you can study, work or enjoy the weather outside and during the evening you can relax with a beer. Gigi and Connor are the best baristas and definitely hope Butler is cooking your breakfast. Would recommend!!!“

“I ordered the famous pistachio latte and the labneh on sourdough. The drink was interesting - the combination of pistachio and haraz spice with coffee was quite good. It’s a nice place- worth the hype. However it’s definitely expensive. These two things cost me more than $25. Also they do not validate parking.“

“The Rosie experience offers a compelling blend of exceptional service, great food, and a consistent atmosphere. Having been a regular diner for over eight years, I can attest that it consistently delivers outstanding cuisine without wavering.As a Representative in the Georgia House of Representatives from Savannah, Ga. this has been my food haven away from home.“

“Beautiful food and friendly service.“

“James was an amazing bartender! He made sure my drinks were just right and really took the time to accommodate my preferences to create the perfect cocktail. His attention to detail and great service made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Get the cheese board and a flight. was all good“

“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“

“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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“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. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Awesome energy with wholesome food!“

“Such a cute and cozy café! The atmosphere is definitely a vibe. I had the espresso martini and the gumbo, and both were absolutely fireee 🔥 Everything was delicious, and the service was great. I’ll definitely be back.. highly recommend!“

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

“Their Claremont Café is one of the best cafés I’ve ever been to in my life. The grilled chicken sandwich was delightful, and the chicken breast was thick and juicy. This location is conveniently located very close to where I work so I will be back again and again.“

“Had a great time. Loved the exhibits and the play space for kids is amazing. We misplaced a purchase from the gift shop and the staff were all so kind and helped us look for it. We found it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Chris was our server and he was excellent. Kavon, the head chef, came out to our table and said hello. He sent us several dishes to try and each one was excellent. He's also just a great guy and cares deeply about his craft. Can't wait to come back“

“The environment and everything else are pretty good!“

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

“East Pole Coffee Co. is a great stop if you’re looking for quality coffee in a unique space. The coffee was smooth and well-made, but what really stood out was the atmosphere. The large stadium-style seating gives the shop a fun, open feel that’s perfect for relaxing, meeting friends, or getting a little work done. Plenty of tables, a clean modern design, and friendly service made this an easy place to enjoy a break. I’d happily stop back the next time I’m in the area.“

“Loved it!! Great food experience!“

“They pushing 5 star. Great service, clean place, good menu for a market grocery connection.
Grouper sandwich top tier. I’d reorder. Crispy, fresh, filling, fair price.
Oreo cake slappin. 10/10. I thought it was white cake inside (I prefer) but it’s chocolate. I typically don’t like chocolate cake but this one hit. Slice could’ve been a bit thicker for price.
Didn’t like the look/taste of the chicken sandwich. Super comminuted. Not what I expected. The chibata bread was hard to chew, cheese thick.
Line forms at the door. I’d recommend this place. Good quick bites.“

“always a delight to enjoy 😉“

“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.“

“10’s across the board! This end of 12th street has been blocked off for construction for some time and now that it’s back open I’m glad I got the chance to try Boozie Smoothie. The staff is very accommodating and kind, I ordered the Potato Kale soup, it was incredible!!! The prices are very reasonable and match the portion sizes I will definitely be back! Again that soup 1000/10. I look forward to trying other menu items!“

“First let me say that the service was outstanding! I ordered the Josey Wales omelet, because it is named after my all time favorite movie. It was delicious and filling. The owner provided personal service and told us how the omelet got its name. I'll let him tell you when you go there. The setting was casual and quiet. A great place to pop in, enjoy some good food and relax.“

“Nice place to get lunch, be sure to bring home dessert for later.“

“We stopped by STEREO to get coffee to enjoy with the delicious treats we had just picked up from a gluten-free bakery, and it was such a great decision! ☕🥰
The coffee was surprisingly affordable, and honestly, it may have been some of the best coffee I have ever had! I ordered a white chocolate mocha, and I can truly say it was the best mocha I have ever tried. It was absolutely delicious! The white chocolate flavor was perfect and not overwhelmed by the coffee—it had just the right balance, exactly how I like it.
My husband ordered a cinnamon honey coffee, and his was also amazing! 🍯☕
Great coffee, wonderful flavors, and very reasonable prices. We were so happy we stopped by and would definitely come back! Highly recommend! 🤍✨“

“Visited as part of our trip to Atlanta and sat at the bar. The cocktails were fantastic, the atmosphere was brilliant and Carlos was an excellent bartender, he took the time to chat with us and he knew his drinks and made/suggested really nice cocktails.“

“Best matcha in town! So good. Wonderful service this morning when they were busy due to internet issues with mobile orders. Received a free size upgrade and a coupon for a free drink! Always love the ambiance for work and studying. Highly recommend“

“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!“

“Good atmosphere I like the veggie burger“

“Delicious food and great service. we'll be back!“

“Simply the best place to have coffee in Atlanta! Cappuccinos and Lattés are a work of art and taste amazing. The style of the place is great and the location has a good view of the Atlanta skyline. There’s also the Goat Farm nearby and that is worth a visit too.“

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

“They made my day special with cheese and kit kat filling taiyaki fish. Even though I could never eat these again cause of diet restrictions now. I enjoyed every bite. They are even fun for kids to play before eating. If I had to tell someone to try some taiyaki, this place is it. I highly recommend trying them out for fresh over usual frozen store brought taiyaki. Enjoy!“

“This place offers the best chicken wrap and fries combo on Buford Highway. Add a drink, and the combo comes to $15, which is a pretty good deal for lunch. The chicken is halal, and everything is fresh and made from scratch. It’s flame-grilled first and then pan-stirred, making it very well done. It’s the best option for students and immigrant working folks who love to eat quality food and skip the talk.“

“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!“

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

“We had an amazing experience at this breakfast restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the fast service stood out—everything was quick without ever feeling rushed. The prices were very reasonable, making it a great spot to enjoy a quality meal without overspending. What really made the visit special was the outstanding customer service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. And of course, the food was absolutely delicious! Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. If you’re looking for a place that combines tasty food, great value, and excellent service, this is definitely the spot to go.“

“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!!“

“When I go to coffee shops, I always ask the barista what do they recommend . I ordered 1 of the recommendations which was the pumpkin spice latte and added 2 pumps of white chocolate mocha because I love a sweet coffee. And it was perfection. Kind of mad at myself I didn’t order the big size. I tried the chocolate pumpkin spice cake at the bar as well and it was delicious. This will definitely be one of my go to spots when recommending visitors. So peaceful and the music was pure nostalgia.“
