Every time I come to ATL from out of town I try and stop by. This was my first time visiting this location and I was so excited to bring my friend who had just moved close by. We will not be coming back. The barista was genuinely one of the rudest people I’ve ever encountered. He was so short with me. I ordered a small iced latte with whole milk and raspberry syrup. He scoffed at my order, saying whole milk and raspberry syrup don’t mix well, and he can’t do that. I thought it was odd, because I get that at pretty much every coffee shop I go to, but whatever. I said that’s ok then no syrup. He gave me lip when I asked how many shots were in a drink and then continued to be rude by mansplaining the coffee cup sizes to me (I didn’t even ask about sizes, I just asked how many shots in a small). My friend and I were both in shock with how incredibly rude he was. He yelled at me for standing by the counter (I was waiting on my drink, like I do at any other place, quietly on my phone) and said to wait and be patient. He said a few other things to us and we eventually left. The coffee wasn’t nearly as good as I remember it being. Also, there was only one other customer in the place, so it’s not like I was blocking other customers or holding...

Most people are on their laptops with headsets kind of sitting to themselves. There were a few "seemingly business meetings" happening at the time that I was there but the noise level was still quiet. The chairs and couches are comfortable and I did notice enough outlets in case you need to charge your device while there. I order the french press coffee everytime I go. The large is enough for two people to get two mug fulls. Not too many coffee shops have french press coffee on the menu so I thought this was not only an added bonus, but also something that makes this place stand out among others.
LOCATION: This quaint coffee shop is located in the Walton apartment complex in West Midtown. Depending on the time of day you come, parking may or may not be a problem. This coffee shop has nice picnic tables in the back with a nice distant view of the city.
PROs- Coffee, atmosphere. Every time I've gone, there has been a gluten free dessert option! CONs- Potentially...
Read moreGreat, cozy atmosphere to relax with a cup of coffee or tea. I like the soft music they play in the background whenever I come here to study. Things you should know: I. PARKING I park in the parking garage where there are 3 hour FREE spots available. All you have to do is drive your car a little past the coffee shop entrance and you'll see the garage entry. Easy. II. SERVICE no complaints III. QUALITY The coffee & add-in options are pretty good; there are multiple types of milks and syrups to choose from. I'm not a huge fan of the pastries, so I struggle when I want something with my coffee. But, that being said, they're branded as a coffee company and NOT a bakery. It's nice they cater to people by having baked items available. IV. CAPACITY For a Thursday afternoon, pretty busy. Every time I come here the seating is almost full. They have great...
