Black Coffee Atlanta — Restaurant in Atlanta

Okay— so this is a tough one for me to write. Let’s start with the great: Coffee = chef’s kiss. We had the Cash Money Matcha and the Love Below (both iced). Absolutely perfect. Food = again, no complaints whatsoever.

Now, the atmosphere. What in the chaotic, children’s clubhouse hell did I walk into on a quiet Sunday afternoon?? We got there, ordered our drinks, and were chillin’ in the most comfortable seats ever. The music (playing on someone’s Bluetooth) was a great vibe. Now, this was my first time here, and I had my laptop ready to vibe and work.

First, we were displaced by a DJ who showed up. But, you know, no biggie. We re-settled in some other open seats. The DJ was lowkey (playing lofi and Erykah Badu), so it was cool. Then, this dude comes in loud talking with his daughter, moving furniture around in a very disruptive manner, and then asks us if he can move us. So this is the second time I’m being moved. Mind you, I’m very clearly trying to work on my laptop.

He sets up a half dozen chess boards— and the children start rolling in. Now’s he’s screaming over the music (which has switched from lowkey to “Teach Me How to Dougie”) and trying to teach these kids the rules of chess. Now, youth work is a beautiful thing— but y’all couldn’t warn a sista that this wasn’t the day to visit and get work done???

Needless to say, I won’t be back on a weekend. I’m a remote worker— so I may give them another chance during the week, but this really soured me. I always support Black-owned, but it went from a vibe to an incredibly loud, chaotic kids’ rec center in an hour’s time. Super disappointing… and I still have a sh**load of work to...

Quite honestly, I was very disappointed when I arrived here. I am an avid coffee drinker and so when I saw this with, the good ratings, I decided to go pay it a visit to support local and black owned business. However when I arrived, their selection of coffee was limited to only drip coffee which is crazy for a coffee shop!!! I get it, not everyone considers craft coffee as proper coffee because the best is fresh drip but people have preferences and so you should be able to tailor your selection to match other people's tastes.

I don't know how they make their money or why they have so many reviews but they must be doing something right other than coffee. Is it just the merchandise and the atmosphere and the seating that people rate? because the coffee itself was THE MOST EXPENSIVE COFFEE EVER!!!

I simply got a drip coffee with oat milk and lavender flavor that cost me $7.50! And then when I asked them why they didn't have lattes or cappuccino they told me they didn't have a foamer or the capabilities to make it. How do you advertise yourself as a coffee shop when you can't make anything other than drip coffee?!! The only positive thing I'll say here is that the coffee that I did get was really good, very delicious, and very rich, but that's about as far as any positive comments for me will be.

Again I'd like to support small black owned businesses but for this one, they'd have to do a lot more in the coming months to be something that I would recommend to...

Upon visiting Black Coffee, I was immediately struck by the remarkable blend of ambiance, friendly service, and culinary excellence. A standout moment was when Laurent and Dena, two of the fantastic staff members, introduced us to the ‘Extra Bagel and Boujee’ – a dish so exquisitely flavorful, it’s worthy of royalties from Migos themselves!

This dish wasn’t just food; it was an experience. Every bite was a delightful surprise, masterfully crafted and presented. It perfectly complemented the premium coffee selections, elevating the entire dining experience.

The atmosphere of Black Coffee is another aspect that deserves high praise. It’s beautifully designed, offering a serene and inviting environment that’s perfect for both focused work and relaxed studying. The chic, comfortable setting, combined with the harmonious ambiance, makes it an ideal spot for any occasion.

Above all, the friendly and helpful nature of the staff made our visit memorable. They not only know their coffee but also have a genuine passion for ensuring every guest feels welcomed and valued.

For those in search of a place that offers exceptional food, great coffee, and a perfect environment for work or study, look no further than Black Coffee. It’s a rare gem where quality, comfort, and great service converge to create an...
