The Atlas — Restaurant in College Place

Lovely little (busy) coffee place with friendly baristas, tasty lattes with an oat milk option, and local Walla Walla roast! So, why didn’t I give this place more stars? How could they improve? By making their space accessible to ALL community members, including those with strollers and wheelchairs.

Unfortunately, a stroller doesn’t clear the base of the steps and the sofa placed right beside it, and on the other side, it doesn’t clear between the arm chair and the table / chest when someone is seated there. It would be far more difficult for someone with a wheelchair, as they tend to be wider than a baby stroller. Getting in and out of the coffee place was, to say the least— challenging.

Don’t get me wrong, I will be back, mazing my way through if I have to, as I really enjoy the friendliness of the baristas and the coffee was good… but, I really do hope that this review is taken into consideration and a bit of furniture repositioning is done to make it more accessible to all community members.

Thank you for the friendly vibes and coffee (& for the two young adults who held the door open for us on...

Today was my first time at The Atlas and I was super impressed with the aesthetic. The coffee was excellent, too. I graduated in 2005 and if The Atlas had been around when I was in school I would have lived there – what a wonderful place for students, WWU, and the entire community. I heard Davis Elementary teachers sometimes stop by for coffee – super cool! Also, I ran into an old friend, Professor Kirt Onthank, while I was standing in line. Thanks again for a great experience. I moved back to Walla Walla in 2016 and should have visited a long time ago, but I will be a regular now, bring my wife, and talk about The Atlas with...

I really enjoyed visiting the Atlas and seeing all the students studying in the shop. They have really made the coffee shop into a cozy hangout for studying. There is a nice outside area as well if the weather is warm! They experiment with new drinks or seasonal drinks and I really enjoy the variety. The baristas are so friendly as well. Going in the mornings you are more likely to get a table because many students go there to study in the afternoons/evenings. Less are there...
