50 Best Coffee Shops near Clarkston

“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.“

“I’ve eaten at many Ethiopian places, this has got to be one of my favorites in terms of flavor and spices!! Right amount of spicy and salty. We got the veggie platter and awaze tibs. Some outdoor seating where we were able to enjoy the food on a nice day with the dog. Service was great too!“

“The atmosphere here strikes a nice balance between lively and peaceful. There were plenty of people around, but it never felt crowded or overwhelming. I enjoyed an iced coffee and spent some time reading, which turned into a very relaxing afternoon.“

“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!“

“I had my daughter's high-school graduation party here last weekend! The atmosphere was amazing. The stage and sound system was a plus! We did karaoke!! The Staff was friendly and very helpful! This place holds at least 80 people inside, comfortably and they have a more room outside along with another stage. Her party was a success! A hidden gem is what I would call Waller's Coffe Shop! I would definitely recommend this place to throw any type of event!“

“Really enjoy this place. The atmosphere is peaceful and cozy. The baristas are excellent people who know their products but also have interesting backgrounds and talents. I have enjoyed a few conversations on lazy days with the folks working here. The coffee and tea and the elixirs are all delicious and I highly recommend. Parking is easy. Either park in lot or across the street .... Gillys also has events they host but I don't see them posted on FB... I usually just ask at the counter.“

“In from Dallas where I thought nothing could beat my favorite lemongrass but oh Atlanta. Thai Best Thai I’ve ever had!!! Food was amazing the flavors all so good and our server Suji was the nicest. Amazing food. Don’t miss this gem!! The woon sen and crispy rice larb were so so good and the masa man roti. Wow just wow.“

“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.“

“Mokhaport is a coffee shop featuring Ethiopian and Yemini coffee and teas. They also offer smoothies and food items with a sizable quantity of Halal, Vegan, Gluten-Free, and Soy-Free offerings. The majority of their food is made in-house. Mokhaport has an intimate seating area with Wifi and a generous number of electrical outlets. Mokaport has some of the best customer service for a coffee shop. The owner is friendly and willing to answer questions and provide recommendations regarding the menu offerings. You are actually provided a sample of your coffee/tea item before it is finalized. My go-to drink is the Dirty Adani (Sweet Yemini Chai with a shot of coffee) with brown sugar and oat milk. Pro tip: save your receipt via text, which makes it easier to duplicate your beverage order once you have found the perfect drink. I visit this coffee shop every time I am in the area, as the coffees, teas, and service are impeccable. I am looking forward to trying the smoothies, cheesecake, and some of the savory food products like the beef patty and cheese pastry.“

“I had the ABC chicken sandwich. it was 🔥🔥🤯🔥🔥 Jalapeno American cheese, Asian slaw, sweet pickles, boomin' mango habanero sauce“

“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“

“Valor is such a fun vibe!! I happened to stop in randomly this Friday and they were giving away free drinks for Valor’a birthday. The decorations were so fun & festive! I’ve also enjoyed coming to Valor on a regular (non celebration) day. Their espresso is great, and they have a lot of unique craft drinks. I got the summer peach cortado, and it was delicious. I love that it came with a little peach candy! 🤩 The baristas are always super friendly and cool to talk with.“

“We have some of the whole bean coffee and find it so smooth! Looking at buying more!!“

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

“This place is very cozy and the cashier was so nice! The banh mis are made fresh so it does take a little longer but it’s so worth it. Everything is well balanced. Bread was fluffy and crunchy. The Vietnamese sauce compliments the juicy crispy wings. No dipping sauce needed for their wings. The grilled pork banh mi - get the pate added and it’ll set it off. The pork was tender and smoky. They have sugarcane juice which was the best refreshing drink for a hot summer day. It’s a modern Vietnamese fusion spot that actually does it right. It still tastes Vietnamese but in a different way. Will definitely be coming back and would recommend!!“

“Phenomenal service from a family /locally owned coffee shop. Such a great menu.. love“

“Great neighborhood coffee shop!“

“Great customer service, love the wings and the desserts are delicious.“

“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!“

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

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

“Fantastic coffee and delightful barista. There is a lot of knowledge in this building. I will happily return!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Wonderful baked goods with tons of vegan options. The owner is super friendly and took the time to describe products and ingredients we weren’t as familiar with and made great suggestions. The tiramisu cups are 🔥! Always a must to stop here when we’re in town.“

“We tried South End SmokeHouse for the first time today and it was so good! The kids loved the mac & cheese and my husband and I shared a BBQ plate with pork and brisket. We got a lot of food and we enjoyed the atmosphere a lot! Can't wait to try their new location!“

“Really amazing coffee and everyone that works there is so nice!“

“today was my first time. I love their coffee my new go to over Starbucks the crepe stand outside superb“

“This isn’t just a good place. It’s a great place. Good coffee, Alvin’s pastries, puzzles, games, art and … a master bike mechanic, all in a low key but fun atmosphere.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Truly excellent Ethiopian food! We had a table of 5 (3 adults, 2 kids) and ordered the Vegan Combo, Rebeye tibs and Chicken tibs and it was so delicious! It was the right amount of food with some left over. The spices, quality, and taste were the best we've ever had. The service and staff were very professional, courteous and welcoming. This is a hidden gem and we will be back every time we're in Atlanta. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Sooo good the mango Mojito is definitely my favorite“

“Raani has beautiful Indian-inspired aesthetics with soft jazz in the background, creating a cozy space to relax, study, or work.

We tried the Madras kaapi, cardamom and coriander bun, and spinach and paneer scone. The kaapi had a comforting homemade feel but was roasted a bit darker than the traditional Madras filter coffee you’d find in India. It was served in a paper cup—an eco-friendly choice, though a ceramic or stainless-steel cup for dine-in would make the experience feel more authentic. 3/5 for the kaapi.

The cardamom and coriander bun is popular for a reason—we were lucky to get the last one! It paired perfectly with the kaapi, just as the barista recommended, and I’d definitely order it again. The spinach and paneer scone was crisp, flavorful, and the seeds added a lovely earthy touch. 5/5 for both the bun and the scone.

One small suggestion: the open storage area feels slightly out of place compared to the modern seating area, and a simple partition could make the space feel even more cohesive“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Very friendly atmosphere. Cold brew selection is very good. Their black coffee is simply delicious.“

“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 have been working in coffee shops all over the world for 15 years and train baristas to be experts.
Finally good coffee and a professional barista!!
Recommend to anyone who loves quality coffee.
They even provide snacks for the dogs. Perfect place!!“

“I recently hosted a wine tasting at a Couples event. D7 Lounge is nice! The hostess set up a nice and intimate vibe for couples. The food was good. Of course I had some great wine. I was appreciative of the cute set up she provided for the wine tasting. The couples enjoyed painting and a superb saxophonist. Great event. The lounge was clean and decorated very nice.“

“This is my favorite day off spot, for over a year I have been coming here, Great Coffee and Food, Friendly staff,I love this place.“

“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 ❤️“

“I have travelled all over the world and I have been to countless coffee shops and at the end of each experience I missed my daily cup of dark roast from Corner Cup. The “Snooze Button” Dark Roast is my favorite. I like their coffee so much I bought a few bags for home; something I have never done before. Every morning I have a cup of Corner Cup Coffee. This is the best coffee shop in Atlanta when it comes to quality coffee! Coffee: Excellent Service: Excellent Price: Excellent Locations: Tucker / Decatur ✅ Bathrooms: Clean Rewards / Points: Good Management: Friendly & Accessible Recommendation: open a location in Dunwoody / Sandy Springs / Roswell 😊“

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