Java Lords — Restaurant in Atlanta

I needed a location to meet with a colleague and what is a meeting without amazing coffee? During my search Java Lord popped up and offered hours that fit my needs. As such, let’s talk about my recent visit.

The location sits towards the rear of the high traffic area which is perfect for finding parking. Upon walking in there is an assortment of treats that capture your eye. The ambiance of the location is super chill and artsy. The paintings on the wall are not only amazing but they are for sale as well. Talk about a win win!

Being this was my first time I wanted to go outside of my usual coffee order. I decided on the Coffee of the Day with a shot of Almond and Vanilla.

The Murder Blend has a smooth Coffee taste. This is the perfect blend for someone (such as myself) who enjoys the authentic taste of coffee. As I love a good Dark Blend. This Medium/Dark Blend allows the roast flavor to be very evident. The flavor profile has a heavy body, and the flavor is prominent but isn’t spicy and has the authentic bittersweet tang, subtle chocolate and caramel flavors, with hints of smokiness. Yeah! As you can see, this is a perfect coffee for any moment of the day… The flavor shots are strong which pair well with the heaviness of the Murder Blend.

The young lady who helped me originally was nice, however, as she wasn’t as much of a coffee drinker I was unable to get her take on any of the other blends. As such, I will be back again to be surprised by the daily blend.

Overall, this location is great for a break from a busy day, a chance to meet with friends, or even a quick business conversation. All of the aforementioned will fit in this location with any...

wowza, came over here to do some work. Had my mask on and my vaccination card in hand, walked in, no one was there, so i walked to sit my stuff down with plans to return to counter that’s literally 5 feet away…large leather vested man (didn’t catch his name) barges in, and starts yelling at me asking if i saw the sign. of course i did and i read online too, hence my mask and vaccination card in hand but no one was there. He yells back, yeah ur supposed to wait for me—i didn’t know. And i just wanted to sit my stuff down. I hold up my vaccination card but as he continued to lord over me (ha) i get the sense that i should just leave, so i did. really uncomfortable with the entire interaction and upset that i already paid for parking and now have to go find another spot to work when i was so excited about this one. I’d like to make it clear that I HAD MY MASK ON AND VACCINATION CARD IN HAND and yet the man still approached me with so much hostility and as a woman smaller than him, i truly felt unsafe. There were two more ppl coming in directly behind me, they left with me and agreed that what transpired was a lot. I understand COVID procedures and COVID-related worry, I respect it all but this truly felt like it had a tinge of something else....

Its 10:15 a.m, 01/16/25. I sat in my seat to make a quick call, no more than 2 minutes, I was approached by the guy working the counter, who began to harrass me about what I was doing. I've been coming to Java Lords for a while and this has never happenned and seem racially motivated as their were white people there and I was the only American African seating. He asked what I was doing, I responded by saying I was waiting for my ride (which wasnt far away), he pressed me about buying coffee and since I wasnt buying for the short duration of time I was there, then told me I had to leave. This has never been a problem from anyone else (not from Nat, or from the gentlemen with the long hair). He was white with a rather Jewish appearence, which I try not to assume the motivation but it did seem very racially stimulated. I definitely will not be back and will share my experience, as well as the appearence of this individual. Little 5 has always seemed welcoming to all walks of life but I guess that time is up for Java Lords and how they treat their customers. I'll never...
