50 Best Coffee Shops in Atlanta

“Lightning fast surface and actual hot coffee at an airport. It does exist. For a very reasonable price too. Ignore the lines at Caribou, Starbucks, and dunkin' and go here. Here. Take the pain train from anywhere in 5 minutes for wonderful hot coffee and excellent service. Turn around and right behind. You is the best breakfast at ATL at Paschal's.
Also has open public seating nearby that is not monopolized by a bar or restaurant that is kept clean on almost a minute-by-minute basis by the wonderful staff at ATL.“

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

“A Friday evening well spent 🥂🎶 > Food = perfectly made (with gluten free bread!) > Wine flight = 10/10 > Staff = the sweetest > Music = the vibe we all need Thanks, Ollie’s!“

“Amazing food . Chill vibe“

“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.“

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

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

“Was our last day in Atlanta and just wanted some coffee after being up late the night before for a wedding. Staff was very friendly, accommodating, and nice, but we wish we had known that by 11 am on a Monday, they would be sold out of most of their food. Regardless, the apple pastry was solid, but the drip coffee was especially great.“

“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 enjoyed the matcha here, and they had 3 vegan pastry options which was a nice surprise. The drink itself was smooth and well made, though I do wish it was a little sweeter. Overall, definitely a good option if you’re looking for a cozy coffee stop with plant-based choices. Updated from previous review on 2026-05-21“

“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!“

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

“The service is incredible and the entire team is knowledgeable on the menu and its health benefits“

“Schāf Shop Coffee in Midtown is truly a hidden gem and my first stop every morning. Their matcha is hands-down the best—perfectly balanced and always consistent. The atmosphere feels thoughtfully curated with unique details that make every visit special, and the team is incredibly welcoming. You’re always greeted with a smile and friendly energy that keeps you coming back. Plus, they’re dog-friendly and even have water and treats for your pups, which makes it even better. The owners also provide a FULL skateboard shop inside, as their other passion!“

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

“The madras Kapi latte was really good and so is the kapi cake. I feel like the furniture setup is a little weird (height etc not comfortable enough for adults and the front feels kinda empty) and the music wasn’t super relaxing. But overall a great place to read a book and I like the seats on the floor“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“I cannot rave enough about Cafe Bartique! I had a wonderful, warm, and cozy experience. I stopped in Friday to get some coffee and a bite to eat. I had the Caan vs Can and Crème of the Crop coffee drinks, both were delicious hot! I also ordered the Spelman Chick Sandwhich, tasty and delicious too. Thank you Cafe Bartique staff for the warm and vibrant experience!“

“Always smiling faces �“

“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.“

“8/1/26 I rarely given bad reviews but this is a 1st. Today, I would give this restaurant a 0/10. I didn’t even make it to tasting the food as the food that was ordered never made it to my table but another table who had already checked out. My waitress didn’t even check on my party to see if any of our food made it to our table. It seems as though this place needs more space to accommodate the amount of people coming to patronize. I’m all for supporting black businesses but this is one that I cannot support.

UPDATE: 8/29/26 The owner reached out to me and expressed sincere concern about my previous visit to the restaurant and offered me a a chance to have a better experience. I booked a new reservation for yesterday and I can say that it was a better experience than I previously had. We received great customer service by a new waitress that checked on us often. The food that we ordered came out to our exact table and the food was good. See pictures. I appreciate the owner Crystal making sure our experience was better than before and for that we will come back again to try the breakfast options. I will say the LAMB CHOPS were superb‼“

“Came here after recently moving across country to the area and I was happy to find a good coffee place that opens as early as it does.

Coffee is good and so are the pastries at affordable prices. The baristas were cool dudes too so I would definitely recommend!“

“This is a new spot and only has a very simple menu with 6 coffee drinks and NO food items - the Google review doesn’t have accurate photos. The photos must be from the previous spot. We had to walk to Chick-fil-A to get something to eat.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“Walked in right as they were putting out bags of coffee beans for sale. The lady was super sweet while explaining to me the different beans (I’m a bit new to the making quality coffee at home scene). She definitely made the experience a positive one!“

“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 love this place, all of the staff is so kind and attentive and the atmosphere is great. The coffee & food are top tier. Such a great community space and I love that you can feel the Recuerdos team strives to make it such a welcoming environment. We need more and more warm, friendly, amazing spaces like this.“

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

“Good atmosphere I like the veggie burger“

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

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

“Hooked me on Coffee. Best Staff Ever!“

“I’m amazed at the creative variety of donuts at Donnie’s Donuts. And they’re coming up with new and unique creations all the time.“

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

“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 ❤️“

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

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

“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.“

“Our favorite date night dessert spot. The. Best. Gelato. PERIODT!!!“

“10/10. The drinks are great. WiFi is strong. The prices are way too low for the quality of service and food/drinks. The toast and jam was absolutely delightful, bread was thick and the jam was plentiful. The place is small but I'm very comfortable sitting here in the corner doing work and having a great time. Thanks for the awesome food/drinks! I would recommend this place to anyone in the area trying to get some work done or socialize. It's nice and quiet and has an outside patio area.“

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

“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 people at The Salty are amazing! Paige and Terez gave me such a warm welcome as soon as I walked in. They had the tea I was craving, and their donuts are absolutely incredible! From maple twists to crushed Oreo and vanilla cake donut holes, there’s a fantastic variety that everyone needs to try. The service is top-notch, and it’s also a great spot to get some work done. Definitely worth a visit!“

“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!“

“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 🙏🏿“
