LATTE BE! I will never say no to a cup of coffee. Whether it's drip or a latte, sign me up. After eating at Emerald City Bagels, we had some time to kill before our next activity of the day. Coffee was on the agenda. We were so happy to stumble upon Joe's. Joe's coffee is an East Atlanta classic. If you haven't been to Joe's what are you doing? They offer a variety of hot and cold beverages as well as pastries. Not sure if the pastries are made in house or ventured in, but they are all displayed very well at eye level when you walk inside the coffee shop. I loved the amount of space this shop had. Tables, couches and comfy chairs. Everything with fun colors. Extension cords were available for students/remote workers too. We love it when a coffee shop thinks of everything. We both ordered a toasted marshmallow iced latte. It was very good. But the best thing about this coffee shop are the employees. Each have great personalities and hold wonderful conversations with anyone and everyone who walk through their doors. If you find yourself in East Atlanta, definitely stop into Joe's you won't be disappointed!

This coffeehouse has a lot of personality-- a great place to chill, great place to work Seating: plenty, great place to work, outlets EVERYWHERE Parking: Street, but it isn't too crowded Drinks: Cold brew with espresso cold foam, nice blend of the acidity from the cold brew and darker espresso flavor from the cold foam, prices are reasonable Music: impeccable

Great coffee! Got to love a place that serves coffee that is good enough to drink black. Comfy and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend.

$6 for an ice coffee, not an iced latte...or cold brew. The ice coffee even was watered down. I'm not sure Manhattan even charges these prices. Felt very exploitative especially for the neighborhood/area

Hometown coffee shop vibe with good art and no frills. The opposite of the yuppie coffee shops popping up all over town :)- lots of vegan pastries available, too!Vegetarian options: Everything from Flour + Time is vegan and delicious.
First time visiting! Such a great atmosphere! I really love the welcoming ambiance. I got a large vanilla and 2 Empanadas. It was around 25$ ,which seems steep! If my coffee was 7, then the little empanadas were 9$. Including the charge for the sauce! My coffee… a vanilla latte was “kid temp”, and lacked strength. It had good flavor, just very weak. I normally add cream after, but not this place it was to creamy for me. Maybe 1 shot of expresso was in the large? Oh and parking was rough (on busy street). All in all, I’ll go back, because the place is super cozy, friendly, and local. Next time, I know to account for the warmth and add expresso.

Nothing says 5 stars better than antisemitism and that’s what Joes All about. If you like to support terrorism, people who hate the west and mock it then grab a cup of Joe and enjoy.

We have been coming here for years and this was a great local shop until the previous owners left. The new owner is unfortunately quite rude and unprofessional. While we were waiting to order AND waiting for our drinks, she repeatedly reprimanded the sole employee loudly and in front of all of the customers. It made me uncomfortable as a customer and probably embarrassed the poor kid behind the counter. Not sure I will continue to support Joe's considering the negative, in my opinion, changes. I gave two stars simply because their drinks are tasty, otherwise it would have been one.

I'm visiting Atlanta and heard about this coffee shop from our bnb hosts. They had never been themselves, so I don't blame them for the dumpster fire I experienced. It may have gone well if there wasn't an overbearing manager or boss or whatever they were present. She was rude to her employees and was correcting them every step of the way. I overheard her berating one young lady and saying, " You think you're helpful, but you're not." I don't care what that girl did. She didn't deserve to hear that. When I asked if she's training a new crew, she said, " No, things happen. It's no big deal. You didn't wait that long. " I was there for over 20 minutes. And it wasn't that busy. They had to re- pour my medium coffee 3× because I waited so long for my chai. Otherwise, it was a nice coffee shop and looked cozy. Too bad I'll never go back or recommend it to anyone based on the managers bad behavior. At the end of the day, their coffee isn't that different than any other place, so they should focus on customer service.

The ambiance of this place is amazing. It has my ideal coffee shop atmosphere with the cool art and eclectic furniture. It is a great place whether you are getting some work done, meeting up with a friend, or reading on your own. They have lots of vegan options for the drinks and the food. I was excited to see that they don't upcharge for non-dairy milk. However, I was stunned when I paid for my oat milk matcha latte, and it was more than $8 after tax. ?? Then, I tried it, and it was so meh. Definitely not worth the price.Dietary restrictions: Vegan pastries from Flour and Time, no upcharge for non-dairy milk

I came here with a few friends and we loved it. A great coffee shop with such a genuine/authentic vibe to it. The barista was friendly. The art and murals were very cool. I loved the feeling in there Also love the values of the place. They openly support causes I align with and I respect that (like a ceasefire etc.) You can see it on signs and stickers around the place. I appreciate that they aren't cookie-cutter and that it seems to be a place where people can express themselves. I had a hot chocolate, bean and cheese empanada, and double chocolate cookie. All of those items were good. I especially liked the cookie and hot chocolate. It's a perfect spot for a coffee shop. It's a nice place to stop at after doing some shopping in East Atlanta Village and there doesn't seem to be a lot of coffee shops right in that area or on that street. It was fairly busy when we went in on a Saturday afternoon but not overwhelmingly busy. I definitely plan on coming back :)
