East Pole Coffee Co — Restaurant in Atlanta

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – A Perfect Spot to Savor Coffee & Relax

East Pole Coffee in Poncey-Highland is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere from the entire staff. The space strikes the perfect balance between cozy and functional — plenty of tables, chairs, and even a small bar area where you can set up your laptop, chat with friends, or just unwind with your thoughts.

The coffee menu is excellent, offering a nice assortment of drinks with flavorful house-made syrups that elevate every sip. I tried one of their specialty drinks, and it was clear they take pride in both quality and flavor. On top of the great coffee, their pastry case is full of tempting treats. I couldn’t resist ordering a homemade chicken empanada — absolutely delicious with rich, savory flavor and a perfect crust.

For those who love to enjoy coffee al fresco, there are a few outdoor tables that make for a lovely spot to soak in the neighborhood vibe. The whole experience felt calm, unhurried, and genuinely enjoyable.

I’d never visited before, but my doctor actually recommended it as a great place for coffee, a pastry, and some decompression time — and they were absolutely right. I left feeling recharged and happy, and I’m already looking forward to...

Avoid!! Service is horrible! The staff are very self involved.

Love the music at this location! Great layout great decor great vibe I haven't tried the coffee yet but it looks and smells wonderful.

Next time I will bring my own coffee and enjoy the music!! The staff will never notice since they don't pay attention!

My second visit to East pole was not successful. although there were two baristas behind the counter a girl and a guy neither would acknowledge me or take my order. I stood in front of the counter for quite some time until a another customer arrived and they took his order no problem. They continued to talk about Indonesian music with the new customer who apparently plays in an Indonesian band. The female barista piped up from down the counter and said she knew some Indonesian language. They had quite a lengthy conversation until I just walked off unnoticed and ignored . Maybe I need to wear bright Neon the next time I come in and try this coffee joint to get the attention of the staff. I don't have patience to be ignored. If the owners or managers want to address the staff problem I was at the location on Wednesday...

Visiting Atlanta, and staying close to Emory University, I asked Gemini for coffee shops on the way to my downtown destination. Highly rated, East Pole arrived at the top of the list. It was easy to get to on my 8:00 a.m. Monday drive. Parking was convenient, and when I walked in, I was greeted by such a wonderful, smiling staff. While I got my coffee to go, I noticed that if there was ambient music, it was definitely non-intrusive. I have a hearing impairment, and many coffee shops and restaurants are difficult and harsh for me. I would have been totally comfortable enjoying my coffee peacefully inside. Now, the coffee. I ordered a hot, light roast, and it was wonderful! Just what I was looking for in a quality, enjoyable cup in the morning! I should be here at least another two or three days, and East Pole will be my morning destination to start my day! Thanks to the awesome staff! (I’ll get your...
