Atlanta｜Common Coffee: First Gray-Themed Speciality Café – Full Review

This post is a little different — it's about a café my friend poured her heart into, long before opening day. I had the chance to preview 12 different coffee drinks, and here’s the honest breakdown: Three Signature Specials: 🍐 Pear-well – Cold brew base with sweet pear and osmanthus, hints of citrus peel and wood. My personal top pick! 🍎 Amber Fall – Apple-forward with subtle cinnamon and woody perfume notes. Coffee emerges gently at the end. (Skip if you dislike cinnamon.) 🍫 Not A Cake – A layered experience: starts like a dessert, with chocolate, cream, and berry notes softening the coffee bitterness. An intriguing, slow-sip drink. Other Standouts: ☕ Uncommon Latte – Citrus + Earl Grey tea-infused coffee. 🍚 Rice Milk Latte – Made from real rice porridge — creamy and unique. 🌊 Sea Salt Jasmine Latte – Smooth, floral, lightly salty. 🧈 Butter Cream Latte – Rich, velvety foam balances the coffee's edge. Sparkling & Refreshing Options: 🍊 Orange Sparkling Americano – Bright, sunny, perfect with a bagel. 🍋 Uncommon Espresso Tonic – Lemongrass tonic adds a bold, wake-up kick. 🍑 Peach Tea Americano – Soft peach and tea notes round out the drink. Trying eight different coffees in one day left me awake till late — but also reflecting how rare it is to find a place that truly cares about crafting each cup in a fast-paced world. Whether you prefer classic lattes, creative signatures, or sparkling pick-me-ups, Common Coffee offers something thoughtful for every palate. 📍 Common Coffee 5677 Buford Hwy NE Suite 101, Doraville, GA 30340 🕛 Soft opening hours: 12 PM – 9 PM #AtlantaCoffee #SpecialtyCoffee #CafeReview #CommonCoffee #DrinkMenu #CoffeeLovers #DoravilleEats #LocalSpot #AtlantaEats #CraftCoffee
