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!“

“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.“

“The basil fried rice is delicious! It's very flavorful and done well. I got mine with tofu and veggies and there's a really good mix of fresh vegetables with toasted garlic and fresh herbs on top. I highly recommend you give it a try.“

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

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

“This is my third time at the restaurant, but my first being waited on. It was a special birthday brunch for two friends and I just thought it was a great experience. Great food and service. Only complaint was a mysterious “service fee” on the bill. It wasn't defined or explained and was not the tip. I'd done again but these ancillary fees really diminish a good experience.“

“Beautiful food and friendly service.“

“Haraz Coffee House is a beautifully designed cafe that brings a different style of coffee experience compared to the usual coffee shops around Atlanta. The space feels clean, modern, and welcoming, with a comfortable atmosphere that makes it easy to stay for a while whether you’re stopping by for a drink or meeting up with friends.

The drink menu is where Haraz really stands out, with specialty coffee, chai, and unique flavors inspired by Yemeni coffee culture. The Adeni Chai is one of the highlights, with a rich cardamom aroma and warm spices that make it feel comforting and distinct. The Haraz Latte and pistachio latte are also great choices if you want something more creative, while the coffee options with cardamom and spices add a different twist to a regular cup of coffee.

The pastries and desserts pair really well with the drinks, especially options like the pistachio croissant and Biscoff milk cake. The combination of flavorful drinks and baked goods makes it a nice place to slow down and enjoy the experience rather than just grab coffee quickly.

Overall, Haraz Coffee House is a great cafe to visit when you want something beyond standard coffee. The unique flavors, beautiful interior, and relaxed atmosphere make it a spot I’d come back to explore more of the menu.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

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

“Awesome energy with wholesome food!“

“The environment and everything else are pretty good!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“always a delight to enjoy 😉“

“Good atmosphere I like the veggie burger“

“This place is wonderful. I read that the food was just OK. I would differ. I got the meatball dish, and it was fantastic. My date said her food was excellent too because she comes here frequently. I thought the pricing was more than reasonable considering the atmosphere and the location. I would highly recommend this.“

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

“Super cute smoothie shop open late in midtown. They have everything from protein smoothies to like the name says, alcohol based frozen smoothies. Shop has a nice relaxed vibe and really nice staff. Came in super late and they were very accommodating. Thanks!“

“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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“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“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“We ended up ordering sandwiches from here because all the breakfast/lunches places nearby were slammed. And I'm so glad we did! The service was super friendly, and the sandwiches were super yummy. I got a blackened salmon, and my mom got a Reuben (she was particularly impressed with the amount of meat on hers).“

“Loved it!! Great food experience!“

“Henri’s is the best! The sandwiches, pot pies, salads, and desserts are delicious. No matter what you choose you can’t go wrong!“

“Our waitperson, Tiffany, was fabulous!!“

“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.“

“Delicious. Worth the ride from Cumming“

“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!“

“Such a cute little coffee spot! My best friend and I stopped by while exploring the area and loved how quiet, peaceful, and laid-back it was. The whole place has such a chill vibe — perfect for relaxing, catching up, or just enjoying your coffee without feeling rushed. Our drinks were AMAZING and the atmosphere made it even better. Definitely a nice little hidden gem and somewhere I’d visit again! ☕ ♡“

“Fantastic coffee and wonderful staff. It was my first time stopping by. Darwin was incredibly kind and gave me great drink recommendations. I was very pleased to learn all their syrups are made in house. The vibe is super cute- I'll definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“Sovereign delivered an incredible experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was top-tier, the food and drinks were on point, and the overall vibe was unmatched. What truly stood out was the staff and how everyone was amazing, attentive, professional, and made sure every guest felt welcomed and taken care of. Excellent customer service like this keeps people coming back. Highly recommend!

They even created a signature cocktail menu for our event!“
