Refuge Coffee Co. Norcross — Restaurant in Norcross

Georgia-founded coffee shop with 4 total locations. Their Norcross cafe is cozy, yet lively with jazz music gently playing in the background and large windows allowing natural light to flood inside throughout the day. They're a nonprofit company with outstanding intentions you'd be happy to support. Things you should know: I. PARKING Refuge Coffee is at the right end of the downtown plaza area. Street parking is available out front of the business. I noticed coming anytime before noon on weekdays leaves plenty of available space options open for convenient parking; however, as the afternoon approaches, finding a space can be rather difficult. II. SERVICE Friendly and timely III. QUALITY Their coffee is dense and acidic ~ not watered-down, ideal for coffee snobs like me. If you prefer less dense coffee, they have milk and milk alternatives available to dilute your beverage. I particularly liked that this location has sugar-free syrup options to mix up your drink with. IV. CAPACITY During my time here, the crowd seemed to be heaviest around noon hours.

We love the Chagachino here! It's the reason we keep coming back. And after today, may be the only reason we'd consider going back.

If you say you close at 3pm, then close at that time, not 1 hour earlier. And if you know you're going to close early, then post it on the door or let people know before they...

Welcome et Bienvenue y Bienvenidos, Refuge Coffee friends! We longtime Norcross residents are so honored that you chose our charming historic old town as your newest location in metro Atlanta. In this difficult time of ongoing national and global conflict, it is so good to have another place of welcoming community for truly everyone. As we like to say, Y'ALL MEANS ALL!

For folks new to Refuge, I highly recommend their espresso offerings in many forms -- from "Leon's Chai" with a shot of espresso, and "chagaccino" (an earthy milk and espresso drink infused with chaga mushrooms - really, try it!) to their aromatic "cappuccino candles" sprinkled with Refuge Coffee grounds (perfect for holiday enjoyment and gifting).

Come on over and enjoy some sweet refuge at Refuge...
