My Coffee Shop at Eastlake — Restaurant in Atlanta

I LOVE this local owned restaurant! My Coffee Shop at Eastlake is a not so hidden - hidden Treasure in the Eastlake community. I've lived in the area for 3 years and never knew it existed until just recently (mind you I've driven by this restaurant millions of times). I first visited the restaurant a few weeks back after morning car pool after a quick google search. Upon arrival I was greeted with smooth oldie jams playing lightly throughout the front door. Upon entering I notice the restaurant was very open and had a cool décor including swings at the counter. I ordered a Chai Latte (my fave) and the Pancake breakfast complete with a smoked turkey sausage link and cheese eggs to go. I noticed the delicious cakes displayed on the counter but decided to hold out for another day. The pancakes where so good you can literally eat them without syrup, the flavor is naturally sweet. Breakfast was yummy. The customer service was so great and the Restaurant is black owned by a mother and daughter duo who are the epitome of southern hospitality (so welcoming and warm). I told them before leaving I would bring my family the next morning for breakfast. The next day my family and I went to the restaurant to eat. Ordering the Catfish and grits breakfast for my husband and a homemade Chicken biscuit with fried egg cheese and sausage gravy for myself, our girls had French toast sausage and eggs. Hot chocolate, OJ, and Chai Tea where our drinks of choice. This is one of our new favorite restaurants we will frequent often. It's kid friendly and always check google for their hours, they operate on a non...

This place is incredible. I took my family here before movies. A couple of things to know. It's black owner, so big plus. Gotta support local biz. Also, ALL of the food is authentically southern and delicious. I would have taken pictures, but the family destroyed it too quickly.

You'll wait a bit because everything is from scratch. I had the chef's omlet, very good. Loaded with cheese, veggies, and meat. Came with buttery grits and crisp toast.

Otis met us with a wide smile and open arms. He was awesome.

My daughter had the chicken and waffles. She's nine and smashed the entire waffle. I've had a lot of waffles, this one was the best with a punch of flavor and melted with butter. Outside crisp and golden brown, inside fluffy and flavorful. The chicken was full of texture and moist. I generally don't like white meat, but I would eat the heck out of this white meat.

Son had the banana nut bread and it was truly amazing. I would have eaten it alone, but with a side of surapy strawberries. It was basically heaven for my boy. We didn't add syrup.

Fiance had the chicken and biscuits which was solid.

Coffee was really tasty.

The building is old, and leaky but don't let that fool you. It's a diamond in the rough and the folks that run it are really welcoming and accommodating. Everyone is here because they want to be, and it had a very homey feel to it. Like it's grandma's kitchen.

This WILL be our new brunch spot. No lines, black folks, and good food. All the wait staff is on point. We've been to all the brunch spots in Atlanta, and this one hands down was the best.

My husband was searching for a new breakfast spot and came upon this one located on the Kirkwood/Eastlake side of Memorial. At first we were going to place an UberEats order but like others, it was gonna take at least an hour for delivery so we decided on picking it up. When we got there, it was this adorable, adequately spaced coffee shop playing the late and the greatest of R&B artists over the player. We were greeted with a “good morning” as we placed our order and asked to wait but while we were waiting, my husband and I were screening the subtle decor, how welcoming it was and how we only wish to run place just like it…..the young lady behind the counter offered us their signature basil lemonade. A drink by chance, is what they are known for. Absolutely breathtaking in my opinion, so breathtaking that the next couple they offered it to also thought the same. Like who would’ve thought, fresh basil and lemonade; a refreshing and healthy to say the least beverage. The food was just as amazing and filling. It’s always the good places that are only open half the week but maybe that’s one of the keys to running a successful small business of not burning out the small crew you hired by being open 24/7. Who knows? What I do know is that this small black owned business is definitely...
