50 Best Coffee Shops in Atlanta

“Listen, I’m in terminal B at the ATL airport. I was carrying some amazing fried chicken looking for a place to consume my food. Ms Dao is working the “dining room” and with the most friendly smile she directs me to an open seat. I was delighted. Then she notices I forgot to pick up napkins so she runs over and brings me some! This is hospitality. I hope her boss sees this and recognizes her servant heart. We need more people like this that give hope to the world!“

“I heard about The Black Coffee Company from someone this morning because they knew I was looking for a space to do some work with good coffee. I immediately drove over and when I tell you Crystal made me the Killer Mike and she made it a little sweet for me and Brianna topped my taste buds off with the avocado toast with everything on it. This is my new favorite spot. The music is great, not too loud that you can’t work but just right. I highly recommend them. They are a whole vibe.“

“We stopped here on a road trip through Atlanta. I eat gluten free, and it can be very hard to find good gluten free options on a road trip. Not only did Ollie’s have delicious sandwich options, then had gluten free bread! I had the curry chickpea sandwich and it was delicious. We all tried some of the local sodas too. Highly recommend!“

“Adorable and affordable high tea with delicious sandwiches and treats off the Beltline. We loved our *par-tea* here! Try the Georgia Peaches tea!“

“Looooovely place. Drink some quality coffee that isn't stuffed with sweeteners, pet a dog or two, enjoy some chill vibes outdoors. Bonus points for possibly the nicest public restroom I've been in during 2025. Low lighting, a noise maker, foamy soap, the works.“

“Awesome atmosphere that is simple and well done. Great coffee, food, and wonderful staff.“

“Stopped here as we were walking past on a long walk.
The man serving us (Sam) was really friendly.
I got an iced latte which was really nice (and priced similarly for the area).
Plenty of tables (inside and out) and clean restroom.
Would definitely 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!“

“Bellwood Coffee feels like the upscale, grown-up cousin of Rev—chic, modern, and effortlessly welcoming. Just a hop from the clay banks of the Chattahoochee, it’s a true third space with subtle nautical charm: step inside and it feels like boarding a well-designed ship, setting out toward new ground where people, place, and presence quietly meet. The vibe is calm-bougie but warm—hints of jazz-lounge energy, comfort-food ease, and a room that invites you to linger long enough to find your next friend… or maybe more. It’s the “third-place living room” we all wish our community had: stylish, relaxed, and full of possibility. Only wish: More rooms to mix and mingle. When it’s busy, the couch fills up fast—which is also how you know you’ve found a good harbor.“

“Great neighborhood coffee shop!“

“A hidden gem! Everyone at Schaf Shop was so helpful and friendly. I tried the strawberry matcha and would highly recommend. Will definitely be back! Thank you Taylor & Lindzey for fueling us with caffeine and being so great to our community!!“

“Amazing food . Chill vibe“

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

“Taproom is our go to spot for meetings, great coffee and excellent service. Been a neighborhood staple/homebase for years. Love this place.“

“If you're ever in Southwest Atlanta and looking for a hidden gem that blends vibe, culture, and comfort, do yourself a favor and visit Cafe Bartique. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by a warm atmosphere, exceptional service, and a menu that’s as soulful as it is satisfying. Whether you're sipping coffee on a quiet morning, enjoying a cocktail after work, or hosting a private event, Cafe Bartique offers the perfect blend of sophistication and down-home charm. What truly sets this place apart is the community energy. It’s not just a café — it’s a hub for connection, creativity, and good vibes. Owned and operated by people who care deeply about the customer experience, Cafe Bartique is exactly the kind of business we should all support and celebrate. Highly recommend you stop by. Trust me — one visit and you’ll be planning your next one before you leave.“

“Every morning I visit, I have a wonderful experience. From the friendly welcome into the store to the soothing jazz music and the delicious coffee and treats, I am sure to have a great day after stopping by their shop. Keep up the great service!“

“Truly enjoyed my Cafe Con Leche! First timer hear and certainly will be back. Coffee was excellent, pastry was yummy and loved the chimichurri sauce to go with my empanadas! Staff was super helpful and pleasant!“

“Everything here is outstanding. It is not a cozy place to sit and chat, so I would recommend bringing your own mug (ideally) and walking about Virginia Highlands. The location is fantastic outside of rush hour. It's a shame there is no car-free street here.
All in all - 100% worth a detour.“

“I love this place. Living in Inman park, you’ve gotta go back into the surrounding neighborhoods to find anything eclectic and vibey. Awesome, women-led staff who know how to brew some dang good coffee and cook up dang good food. Dog-friendly, which I absolutely love. They’ve made a regular outta me.“

“I love Green Beans. The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely takes the time to get to know their customers. From the coffee and chai to the pastries and specials, everything is consistently delicious.

They have a walk-up window that’s perfect if you’re out with your dog — and they even keep dog treats on hand, which my pup now expects on our morning walks. They’re also great with kids and always happy to help our 6-year-old find something new to try.

It’s a wonderful place to grab something to go, sit outside and people-watch, catch up with a friend, or get a few hours of work done. During the day it’s full of remote workers without feeling crowded — just the right amount of energy.

A true neighborhood gem.“

“Easily one of the best coffee spots in the city! Great speciality choices and fun ambiance.“

“I recommend that everyone tries the Good Times Latte it's a little bit of heaven in a cup.“

“me and my fiancée got a caramel macchiato, pimento cheese sandwich and a scone. Great place with a nice vibe😊 will absolutely come back!“

“I happened to find Jayida Ché while waiting to meet up with a friend. I got an iced Irie Punch dressed up by the tearista and I was immediately hooked. I haven’t been back to ATL to get any in person but I’ve ordered several hauls during quarantine and it’s been a perfect treat in a really tough time. Make sure to try the Masala Chai with Oat milk ❤️“

“Came here to work for a bit and liked it! I parked in the garage and they validate for 2 hours. It’s cute and cozy inside lots of seating, tables, and outlets. Staff was quick with drinks and the chai latte was good. I also got a warmed croissant. Overall I would definitely come back. There’s outdoor seating as well for a nice day.“

“Hooked me on Coffee. Best Staff Ever!“

“Have missed the location in Poncey-Highlands--visited the VaHi store today and forgot how GREAT the cold brew is! Miss y'all, but will try to get to VaHi more often!!!“

“Good atmosphere I like the veggie burger“

“Really nice coffee! Friendly and clean!!!“

“Nice coffee shop. A little pricey. The service is just fine. We waited for our coffees about 15 minutes. They missed the order or something, I had to go to them and ask where’s the coffee. The employee said “I’m gonna make it now” - after 15 minutes passed. The food arrived maybe 25 minutes later after we ordered.“

“It’s amazing coffee , kind staff and love the reuse cup option .“

“Had so much fun! Food was delicious and had a great girls night out.“

“Their chai latte was amazing! Cutest coffee shop.“

“Great coffee and wonderful staff! Hit this place as tourists and would visit again!“

“Anytime I’m having a crummy day, need a break or just a tasty treat, I take a little mental health walk over to Spiller. My go-to is usually an iced chai with oat milk and their avocado toast when I’m feeling hungry - both hit the spot every time!
In addition to great food/drinks they have the sweetest staff. Every time I come, I feel like I’m being greeted by my friends. Thank you to David and the rest of the team for always providing great service and a safe space to hang.“

“Super friendly staff and very good coffee and tea! My favorites right now are the lattes. The matcha and traditional lattes are unmatched in the area. So grateful for a coffee spot on the actual beltline.“

“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. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Our new find in Atl‼️❤️ We love everything about it. …. So does our doggie 🐾“

“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!“

“Great cozy and peaceful place to meet for a cup of coffee/breakfast!“

“Amazing Place that is working to elevate the community! They have an amazing vision and with the communities engagement they will do Amazing things!! Ase!“

“I love coffee man 😋 they have good drinks and pastries♡ I like the snacks the only thing is they dont have any warm food. (They can warm up pastries just no sandwiches or anything) but other than that it's great! A nice little spot in hapeville edit: ok good to know thanks!“

“If you are a person that likes to experience coffee in different ways I would recommend Coffee Was Black. This Caribbean coffee spot was nothing short of amazing while visiting Atlanta. I never thought I would ever fuse to of my favorite flavors together (ginger &coffee).. but my tastebuds were so satisfied when I took the first sip of “Most High”🥰. Because I enjoy trying different types of coffee I also had the platanos. I also bought beans to bring home. And I can’t forget about the curry chicken patties.“

“Omg stopped by today and had a cold brew on the tap and I’m sold!! Perfect for my daily walks in the neighborhood!! Thanks 🙏🏿“

“Have not been in years but always remember those whole wheat chocolate chip cookies. Today brought my niece for our weekend outing. Very nice space. Feels friendly, lots of tables and a huge bar area with plenty of seating. Food looked good although I only came for pastries. Will come again but need to figure out timing so I’m not spending 10 minutes looking for parking lol!“

“I found this place after a long night of travel delays & cancellations, and it was everything I needed. I ordered a mocha latte and chocolate croissant and they were both so good. Enjoyed them at an outdoor table and it was perfection. The staff was very kind, and the chicken salad sandwich I bought for later was very tasty as well. Highly recommend.“

“Everything is fantastic- the service, atmosphere, and the drinks are incredible. Very exclusive menu with wonderful flavor pairings. Weekdays are less busy, weekends can be packed (as far as I have seen). Regardless, the service is still always friendly & not rushed!
Cafe de Olla, Kiwi Lima, Horchata Chai, Flat Whites, Lattes, are all perfect. Truly the best coffee in the area❤️“

“I love the ppl there and the vibes are good I especially love the sun-dried tomato and cheddar cheese scone it’s a little dry but the flavors r soooo good. Prices are also pretty good compared to other places in the area. I highly recommend this place if you are in the emory area“

“A go-to spot for gelato! They always have unique seasonal flavors and a big plus is the dairy free, gluten free options.
The rich flavor and smooth texture make it so good that I’ve always felt satisfied with just one scoop - allowing me to maintain my health while still having awesome gelato!“
