50 Best Cafes near College Park

“Their wings make me want to move to Atlanta! Lol. So yummy �“

“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.“

“Really nice place, good food, nice staff. No complaints!“

“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!“

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

“Food was delicious. Cook came out to greet us. She was very nice. I highly recommend this place. Priced good. Food even better.“

“I love this place. It’s feels like what a homey coffee shop should feel like. It doesn’t try too hard to be cool. It just simply is. It’s my fav place to grab a drink, pastry and chat with my friends. They also have trivia night, and idk what the schedule is but they’ve also had local musicians play. It’s easily becoming my favorite coffee shop.“

“Everytime I come into Rosie’s , it’s always a warm welcome and great service . I always recommend Nyah as your server !“

“👍🏾The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is friendly!“

“I came to Hot Cafe twice in one week—that’s how good it was.

First visit: I ordered the chicken pho and wow… the broth alone was amazing, almost giving ramen vibes. I also tried the fried chicken wings and the flavor was on point.

Second visit: My cousin got the red coconut curry tofu and it was absolutely amazing. I had the pineapple chicken fried rice, and once again—the flavor did not disappoint.

The Thai tea was great, though I do wish there were a dairy-free option since it’s made with half-and-half. That said, I don’t even like bananas, but their banana egg roll dessert was scrumptious.

The atmosphere is no-frills, but the customer service is a solid 10/10. Friendly, welcoming, and consistent food quality.

Highly recommend—clearly a new favorite. 🍜🔥“

“It's a new place that is in a place that wasn't for me. No hate, but I don't think to-go floppy pasta is necessary.

My initial and full review is me via ordering mobile and picking it up. I've watched the space change and have gotten interested. A person from Atlanta, older than me, said it was worth it. So, of course.

I ordered mobile, as I was taking MARTA to do some shopping at Publix and it's THERE at 8pm. Perfect. I ordered when in a different MARTA station and it was ready when I arrived.

Here's the best part: I was new, so almost like a dummy, I waited in line and got to appreciate the decor and the atmosphere and the conversations the group of people ordering ahead of me when I walked in.

Half way through I figured out, via taking in the space, that I could walk to the end part of the counter to pick up my mobile order, but at this point I was all in. I genuinely enjoyed taking time to overhear orders and looking at the case of incredible things, and how orders were taken.

Of course my drink was ready and I got pointed to five feet beyond, but my iced beverage was excellent and kept in a fridge, cause they probably had it made 10 minutes before and my ask for extra ice mattered. Also, I have feelings about how much half & half places add to my coffee order. Just the perfect amount. Obviously one can order without or say/ask for something specific, but I wanted to see what they'd do as default and it was exact.

I need this place to keep being a thing. I loved it.

And while I know we all hate plastic and stuff, OMG THE CUPS ARE AMAZING!“

“The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Each bite had a great balance of seasoning and texture that kept me wanting more. I’d definitely come back again and recommend it to anyone looking for a satisfying meal. Thank you to my server Desaray. I definitely recommend her.“

“Beautiful food and friendly service.“

“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. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“My first time coming in. First, let me say when you first walk in, the energy is beautiful. Miss Joana welcomes you in with her beautiful smile and amazing personality. She introduced me to the smoothies and teas and helped me with which one would fit best for my needs for the day. My smoothie taste wonderful. I got the strawberry cheesecake smoothie. I’m definitely a regular customer. Much love….Tokyo.“

“The atmosphere was great, food was delicious, great vibe, positive vibe.“

“Great food, large amounts, excellent prices, and exceptional customer service. I saw a large crowd come in 15 minutes before closing, and they treated them and made their food fresh, just as though the restaurant had just opened. Finding a restaurant like that is hard to come by nowadays. I will definitely continue to recommend this diner to any and everyone.“

“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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“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!“

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

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

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

“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!“

“The smoothies here are very good!!! You literally can taste every single ingredient in the smoothie. I will say that it's better than Smoothie King and some of the other big name brands that we are accustomed to. If you're ever in the area stop by and grab a Boozie Smoothie. A lot of healthy choices and the food is on go!!! Give it a try, I guarantee you won't be disappointed!!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾“

“I love this part of town and it’s not too far from the King Memorial MARTA station. I finally stopped in last week for breakfast and think it’s a great value meal for the area. My skillet was delicious and I’ve had coffee here in the past. I’ll definitely be back!“

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

“always a delight to enjoy 😉“

“Gabriel was our tech who arrived and installed our new Eversys machine and he was amazing ! I always love when individuals in the service industry remember your name and use your name in conversation. Gabriel was great with providing information to me on how to care for our new espresso machine while also being super chill and understanding with all the questions that I asked him. Overall, just felt very reassured and supported during our installation appointment and I hope he continues to be our tech in the future ! Bronnies big ups to him !!!!!!!“

“Great Homemade Saturday Morning Breakfast! Good people too! I always want to support Black Owned and Local! #BenHillBeenReal❤️💙“

“Ashley(?) the cashier Barista :) was so kind & helpful to my husband while he ordered. Our food was delicious: creamy grits -a Southern staple! breakfast bowl was plentiful! My husbae the pancake lover said they were so good - fluffy with a little crisp edges and flavorful. I marveled at the quality and the reasonable prices!“

“There is a wider selection at this Sam's. The wait times are getting better, depending on the time you shop. However, why are pets allowed in a place where food is being served, now? I'm not talking about service dogs. These are pets riding in the carts. WHY!?! UNSANITARY. I will shop elsewhere if that is a thing now.“

“The new renovation is incredible! I absolutely love the friendly staff—they're fluent in both English and Spanish. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the food is downright delicious. Everything is super healthy, and it tastes fantastic. The energizing and refreshing teas offer numerous benefits, from fat burning to boosting collagen and energy! I indulged in the berry beauty tea, and I couldn't resist going back today to try the donuts—they were absolutely amazing! This place is definitely a top choice for guilt-free dining!“

“Got the brisket Quesadilla with Brussel sprouts. The sprouts stole the show! The quesadilla had a very strong bacon flavor which, they cannot remove the bacon even if you ask as it is pre-prepared. Bottles of water are $4. No water cup option. Good place if you’re at the mart and in a pinch!“

“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.“

“I would like too be apart of the team“

“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.“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“Beautiful space, delicious BLAT sandwich ($22). I got the Americano ($6) which was just fine. Pricey but nice place to work for a few hours. I walked past Einsteins Bagels to come here knowing I would pay more to work in a more pleasant place. WiFi didn’t connect but used the anywair WiFi.“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Thank you Sports and Social for hosting us before the Braves game. This place is always packed for games so get there early! (like 3 hours) I like sitting at the bar and too avoid the wait, that's where we headed. The main bar under the TV's was agreat spot to watch sports. It works and is NOT like the front row of a movie theater. Our Bartender was Taylor, a pretty young lady. She made our drinks and asked if we wanted food. The drinks were tasty and made quickly. I tried the 'Baos' my friend ordered and they were delicious as well. We were there until game time, then it was a quick walk (about 50ft) across the door into the stadium. Taylor took care of us the whole time and checked on us consistently. Previously, I've had bad service there, so I don't come very often. Due to this experience I will return sooner. Please give Taylor some kudos! Great job“

“Simply the best place to have coffee in Atlanta! Cappuccinos and Lattés are a work of art and taste amazing. The style of the place is great and the location has a good view of the Atlanta skyline. There’s also the Goat Farm nearby and that is worth a visit too.“

“Good atmosphere I like the veggie burger“

“I would like too be apart of the team“

“I’ve been to Kaldi’s Coffee at Emory several times, and it’s a decent spot if you’re in the area. The coffee is good—consistent and enjoyable, though not necessarily standout or memorable. It gets the job done and has a nice range of options, but I wouldn’t go out of my way just for the coffee. The coffee is a bit pricey! The staff are super friendly!

The atmosphere could use some improvement. The indoor space is fairly dim and doesn’t feel very open or inviting. The outdoor seating is a bit worn down and not the most comfortable place to hang out for long.

Overall, Kaldi’s is fine for a quick coffee break, especially if you’re nearby, but it could benefit from a few updates to the space and a broader pastry selection.“
