I like that they have extended hours because not all coffee shops stay open into the afternoon. The vibe is chill with some background music playing and a few tables.

The staff was extremely warm and welcoming and allowed me to sample a few drinks before purchasing, which was incredibly helpful. I also didn't realize it's located right on the BeltLine, which makes it an even better option to stop by and relax. I didn't try the food since I'm currently fasting, but from what I observed, the other customers seemed very pleased with their orders. The ambiance is calm, peaceful, and quiet; the perfect place to work remotely, study, write, relax, or simply hang out for a while. I would like if it was just a hair bigger in size, but this is no deal breaker. I'll definitely be adding this spot into my regular rotation for remote work, writing, and relaxing coffee shop vibes. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get away and unwind in a peaceful environment.

This was our first time at a Kombucha bar so we were really interested in checking it out…read moreespecially as we look for non-alcoholic options. The person at the counter was super patient and kind giving us great service as she allowed us to try any of the flavors we wanted. Which they also have flights if this is something you're into. We decided on the Vanilla Coffee Kombucha and one she recommended that tasted like an IPA. We ordered a pint, was able to sit down and it so happened that while we were there, a group of people were doing DJ sets so we were able to really chill, enjoy and listen to music which wasn't super loud but added to the chill-ness. We didn't notice until we were leaving that there was other things on the menu such as mocktails so we will be back to try some out! We also brought a growler and filled it up with the Vanilla Coffee Kombucha but they have cans available for take out as well. Overall, dope spot and the kombucha was tasty!

I love this place and stop by anytime I'm in Atlanta. It not only has amazing coffee, but it is a hub for community and I love that. Many groups meet there and they used to even have chess for kids. Now to the je good stuff. The coffee and matcha are very good. Nice balance of espresso and flavor. Service is amazing and friendly. It's almost like Cheers - where everyone knows your name. The owners are hands on and cultivate a family spirit. The whole place is a vibe- chill and friendly. A great place to meet friends or just get some work done.

The young, fabulous team always greets you with a smile, even early in the morning. Their customer service is top-notch, and the vibe is full of positive energy. Paying homage to how the menu features clever, creative names (The Marathon) representing Black artists, so thoughtful and inspiring. Great selection of teas, coffees, small bites (Lox and Bagel/Grilled Cheese) and grab-n-go items. My preference is the craft-made sorrel lemonade, refreshing every time. Great price point for both the students and employees across the AUC. Hoping to see a Vegan bakery/breakfast item added to their menu soon. Fantastic customer service.

Love Koinonia and Eduardo! This coffee shop is in the back corner of Westview Corner Grocery…read more Again, it's within Westview Corner Grocery-- it is not a stand alone shop but the Grocery store is so nice and unique that Koinonia really adds an extra touch. There's plenty of parking here as well I ordered 12oz lattes with caramel and almond milk (I would've preferred vanilla and soy but they were out). The coffee was solid. Nothing too fancy on the menu options for coffee (latte, macchiato, americano, espresso) and they also have loose leaf tea options. If you are a West End or West View resident, you know there aren't any coffee options. Especially locally owned. Eduardo lives in Westview and buys everything local. You heard me in the back? He lives and buys local!!

It's located in the Cascade area, and there's free street parking along with a nearby free parking lot. ​The service is absolutely amazing! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with such a warm, authentic interaction. I'm sad this was my first time visiting since they've been open for a while, but I'll definitely be back soon. ​They have a huge selection of coffee and teas, plus seasonal drinks. Be sure to check their seasonal menu! I ordered the creme brulee iced coffee since it was hot outside, and it was absolutely delicious and beautifully made. ​I love a cafe that offers both sweet and savory options, but they actually have real breakfast items here. The employee gave me great recommendations and even asked if I wanted something light or heavy. Based on her suggestion, I got the breakfast sandwich. They have a vegan sausage option, so anytime you see meat on the menu, you can sub it out. Next time, I'll come with a heartier appetite so I can try the grit bowl! ​The prices are very affordable for what you get. Since I was dining in, my food and drinks were brought right out to me. The atmosphere is quiet and perfect for working or having a conversation. I also loved their gallery wall. It's a shotgun style building, but they did a great job decorating so you have beautiful art to look at while you sit. ​Great service and delicious food. Whether you're in the area or just love supporting coffee shops and small businesses like I do, check out this minority owned spot, you won't be disappointed!

Perfect coffee shop in Cascade Heights with a LOT of Southern Hospitality…read more I got the more house macchiato, and a loaded grits bowl. I finished it so fast.

The vibes here? Immaculate…read more I came for the August Black Queer Writers Club: The Art of Poetry event and had such a great experience. I ordered a decaf Brown Skin Girl with oat milk, and it was absolutely delicious! My friend got the cream cheese muffin, and it was so good too. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and incredibly comfortable. I can't wait to come back for another drink and to try some of the food! Everyone was super cool and kind as well.

Cute coffee shop concept, but it's still a chain... so I will judge it like it's a Starbucks…read more The Lee + White location is SO so so cute - from inside the food hall, it looks like a phone booth door - but once you enter, you follow a short bright red hallway to the coffee shop. Doesn't affect the quality of the food/coffee, but still super fun. We had to try the instaworthy Blue Lavender Latte, made with butterfly pea powder to give it that iconic blue. Definitely a fun one to try - I like the hot version for the latte art! We also tried a snickerdoodle cookie and an iced latte - overall pretty standard fare. I'll definitely bring guests or friends who have never visited this location of Costa for the novelty - otherwise, I probably wouldn't venture this far out for coffee!

He got a lox and herbed cream cheese dill toast. This was delicious. Not too salty. Not fishy. Buttery texture. Every flavor just so balanced. And the bread was so thick but it wasn't hard to bite--you would think that would throw off the ratio but it was perfect. The star was this apple fritter biscuit! I thought it was going to be super sweet but it was a savory biscuit and it made it taste more like a pie! The apple filling wasn't overly sugary. The biscuit itself was like buttery and layered but had this caramelized sugar crust. It was so good. Since my husband brought it back, I can't speak to the interior or what it looked like, but he wanted to go back and wished we all could have explored it.

The croissants are perfectly flaky and buttery, and you can tell the ingredients are high quality and thoughtfully used. The vibe is cozy and very "Atlanta" -- relaxed, a little trendy, and a great place to meet a friend or grab a quick coffee. Service is always friendly and efficient even when it's busy. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area... just be prepared to leave with more pastries than you planned.

Super cute and yummy coffee shop…read more I came here on a Friday morning around 10a.m. It was active inside with about 3 people ahead of me but the line moves quick. There's a steady traffic of people going in and out. The staff are welcoming and pleasant. I got an iced honey lavender latte with oat milk and slice of the pistachio cardamom cake. The latte was ok but the cake was phenomenal. The latte had a decent flavor but it wasn't strong. Plus it tasted very grainy and milk-heavy, overpowering the coffee. My slice of cake was so moist and delicious without being too sweet. It was perfect. I'd definitely come back again more so for the desserts than the coffee. They have some indoor seating and a cozy table on the sidewalk just outside the front door.

They've been desperately hiring the past few weeks and seem to be sucking at employee retention. You will probably run into a drugged out homeless person while patronizing this business. The inside is charming but in a grunge way. There's potential but it's just not hitting it these days. They didn't have any of their listed non-dairy milk options nor any bread except for naan (and no bread the second day I came). I've gone in often and they've run out of inventory with no timeline of replenishing. I was able to get a B.E.C. sandwich ONCE in the handful of times I've been here. It was decent and fairly priced, but unavailable the following visits I made. At some point I had to have a sandwich made with no bread because they were out. That was my last time there. Most of the baristas appear to hate working here or simply being on the planet lol. My last visit I was looped into an unwarranted political conversation when just trying to grab a coffee. I get that it's near a college campus so EVERYTHING is made unnecessarily political these days unfortunately, but maybe they should coach their folks to not engage unsuspecting customers in these conversations... literally just prioritize the JOB and the BUSINESS and the customer experience. I don't need or want a lecture on how unbearable you think our country is when I'm just trying to get a drink. It's a horrible business practice to assume ~anyone's~ social/political leaning and I hope we as a society can collectively move into a space where we stop normalizing this behavior. Hope they can pull it together because in theory it is a neighborhood asset. But currently? No bueno.

There surely weren't any nice places like this in walking distance for me to pop in for coffee, tea, wine, or small bites back in the day when I was attending college in the area, but I digress lol....this place is an overall nice spot for everyone! Ambiance: My organization was having a meeting here. The area with the tufted booth is where we were set up. The bar area had been adorned with small bites for us on platters and 3 tiered trays and we were served mimosas upon arrival. It is inviting and quaint with a contemporary feel. Everything is white and the silver contemporary chairs are a very nice touch. It's the perfect spot for a meet up, meeting, girls night out, or just to relax. The Staff: The staff is very friendly. The owner is hands-on with the customers which always adds to the vibe of an establishment. The Wine: We had a wine tasting along with our meeting. We got to try out a variety of 5 wines. In the process, we learned about some tasty local options as well. Parking: You can park in the lot attached to the building. Be sure to bring your ticket so it can be validated. Come outside of the lot the way you came in and simply walk on the sidewalk to the venue. This place is now stored in my Rolodex.
