Inside, is a small artisan coffee roaster who sells perfected coffee. The name, Belux represents owners' names, Ben and Lucy. They specialize in small batch ROASTING and PROPERLY BREWED COFFEE. They sell light to medium beans and serve ONLY coffee here...no food nor over sugared coffee disasters. I had a dopio and Ben kindly added a spoonful of foam for me. It was the most fragrant shot I've ever had. I fell in LOVE. Definitely the best coffee I've had in a couple of years! Belux speaks coffee. This is the only purist coffee retailer I'm aware of in Georgia and am so thankful, albeit 45 minutes drive. Also, they are the only one to offer Gesha outside of a special event. Belux is planning to open their second location in Roswell in July :-) MY RATINGS - - - Inhumane - - Disgusted - Don't bother = Missed the Mark + Good ++ Better +++ EDIBLE...WHERE have you been all my LiFe!

Beautiful coffee shop. A little small with a counter to…read moreserve about 6. Very personalized service Don't stop by if you are in a rush, come to sit and enjoy the process and learn a bit about the coffee and the owners. Prices were a bit high but you should know that based on the coffee your choose. It's a place to go for a quiet date or to impress someone. We preferred the Panama Emerald Geisha coffee @$26 a cup.. and shared it. It was fantastic.

Turns out they do serve drinks at night. And it looks like word of mouth has grown and months later…read morestill popular. I had the Ceremonial Tsuyuhikari Mie Matcha Latte. The first one on the list, 7.50, very tasty and not over sweet. Delicious. I would still pay more for a large. Overall very cool idea for coffee/drinks/brunch and perfect for the modern day hipster. :) Very cool paintings!

Cute spot to grab a quick bite. The menus had season items as well as make your own beverages. I…read morethink food was available I saw someone order a sandwich but I didn't see it in the menu so with missed it or there was another. I was greeted and allowed to take a moment to look over them menu. I got one of their seasonal items . It was a lemonade espresso or something of that nature. I unfortunately don't remember the name but it tasted exactly how it was described. Also got an earl Gray cookie, which was more like a biscuit, it's a nice eyes and a hot a very pleasant taste. They have a section for water so you don't have to go to them and ask for it. It's just readily available. . Love the set up and how they play their items. It's very homey yet Café vibes. Exaggerated nicely in the bathroom really nice as well. It is a one person bathroom so there may be a wait when it's busy. -random note - if you're using Uber or Lyft in the area, maybe it just was the time that I went, but there were hardly any available. I had to wait over an hour to get a ride so just to keep in mind if you're someone who doesn't have a car or plans to get picked up from the area

After ordering from ZenTea located in Chamblee over time I like the tea flavors they offer such as…read moreBlood Orange Sorbet oolong tea that is amazing when served hot or iced depends on what you prefer. Other teas I recommend is the black decaffeinated vanilla tea, decaf Earl Grey Tea, Rooibos Masala Chai. They have many other tea offering such as loose leaf, tea bags, tea accessories for you to purchase to help make the perfect tea for you in the morning, afternoon and dinner time. The staff here when I order thru the website or in person has always been pleasant, friendly and easy. Thank you to the owners and management and staff that made it possible to order Blood Orange Sorbet oolong tea! One of the best tea flavors there is. Great place to order your tea from when your in the area.

What an amazing gem! My family took my Mother out for tea tasting as she is a lover of tea. ZenTea…read moreoffers various classes and tasting experiences but we stopped with a small group for to experiences their tea flights. The staff was very kind and patient, answering our many questions on the different benefits of each tea while also making suggestions on teas to taste. ZenTea has a wide variety of tea to purchase or taste from. ZenTea also has a tea/cafe style menu. I tried their croissant which they toasted for me. There isn't any indoor seating as the shop is small in size but we were able to comfortable sit outside in a covered area while we sipped out flights. They are located in the downtown Chamblee area, which is very walkable. Parking is located on the left side of the building with a few spots labeled for their location or you can do open street parking. My family thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will be back in the near future.

Skilled latte art! Things you should know:…read moreI. PARKING There's slim spaces of parallel parking in front of the building, but to the street to the left (Pierce Dr.) there's more free spaces. II. SERVICE The barista making the latte art is talented! This is one of the slim cafes in Atlanta and the surrounding area that uses glassware, elevating the experience. There's outlets throughout the cafe and a self-service water station. III. QUALITY All of the coffee I've tasted has been dense in flavor. Great craftsmanship. IV. CAPACITY Seating is quite limited with how in demand this location is. I went around noon on a week day and got lucky to find a spot. I can imagine weekends are even busier; I recommend visiting on a work day.

Found my Kindred coffee spot in Downtown Chamblee. Kin Coffees knows coffee!…read more As a big coffee and cafe lover, I really enjoyed my visit to Kin Coffee. The space is open, airy, and thoughtfully designed. I especially loved the seating layout. There's actually room to breathe. You're not crammed next to other tables or accidentally overhearing your neighbor's entire life story. Some cafes feel packed like sardines, but Kin does it right. They even have a cozy living-room style seating area that adds to the relaxed vibe. There's also outdoor seating, which would be perfect on a beautiful day. The latte I ordered was divine- smooth, balanced, and perfectly crafted. As someone who loves good latte art, Kin's baristas absolutely deliver. We were served the most beautiful swan latte art, which made the experience even better. Totally brewtiful! Everyone in our group loved their drinks. One friend mentioned their strawberry matcha is amazing, so that's definitely on my list for my next visit. Another thing I loved: they showcase work from local artists that's displayed and available for purchase. Love, love, love when cafés support local creatives. They also offer a few pastry options that could pair nicely with your drink. Will have to try that next time My only wish? That they stayed open later because I could easily see myself hanging out here all the time. If you appreciate great coffee, good and chill vibes, and cafes that really know their craft, definitely check out Kin Coffee. They even roast their own beans, which makes it a true coffee lover's spot.

So this is my third try at this review - the app deleted everything I wrote instead of saving it-…read morebut hey, this place is worth it! We've actually been here twice, years apart, but we recognized the interior and knew we'd be in for a treat the second time around. Very nice vibes in there. The staff was awesome, the selection of drinks and pastries was wide and my gosh, those drinks! This coffee shop definitely earns my #1 spot for best and most original drinks I've had, ever! Key Lime Pie is a shockingly spot on mix of lemonade and matcha green tea that tastes like its edible namesake. Salted Brew and Vietnamese Coffee are quite good, though I would've liked more condensed milk for the VC. We'll make it a point to come by and run through the menu whenever we're roadtripping. We shall return!

I went there to grab a bite before my mom's doctor's appointment. While I was standing in line, I…read moreheard the guy standing behind the counter telling a customer that they have the best regular coffee. Then, he came out to the service bar to fix his coffee and warm his food. Talk about service!!!! So I ordered two regular coffees instead of my usual americano and a couple of pastries. BOY. Was he right??!! They do have the best coffee. I finished in one sitting, which is a rarity for me. I don't live in Ga but I will stop by to grab a coffee whenever I am taking my mom to her doctor.

I also liked the music selection that was being played If I was in the area I would certainly come back. The prices were on the mark of the bigger chains.

I liked the fact that the latte was not very sweet.

Four months ago, I called Phoenix Roasters a quintessential coffee shop…read more Four months later, they're celebrating their three-year anniversary, and somehow this place just keeps getting better. I came in this morning and it was fully packed. The parking lot was busy, conversations filled the room, coffee was moving across the bar, and at 10 AM I'm hearing people order brisket pizza and brisket tacos because apparently Friday at Phoenix now means BBQ. The menu has expanded. The place is busier. But the important stuff hasn't changed. The coffee is still exceptional. The quality is still consistent. And this place still has that ability to make time feel a little less important. I've realized Phoenix has become my decompression station. Sometimes it's only 20 minutes--scroll through my phone, grab one of the National Geographic magazines they have lying around, or just sit with a great cup of coffee and take in the room. Whatever kind of day I walked in with, I usually leave feeling reset. Four months ago, I compared Phoenix to some of the great coffee experiences I've had elsewhere because I was trying to explain the feeling this place gives me. I don't think it needs the comparison anymore. Phoenix truly stands on its own. Great coffee isn't impossible to find. A place with soul is a lot harder. Happy three years, Phoenix. Please don't change.

I really wanted to like this place but I just didn't enjoy the drinks :/…read more The matcha-misu is a beautiful green but it was more milk and mascarpone than matcha. It was pretty disappointing, I hope they can improve or find a better matcha brand to serve. The ice to drink ratio was perfect but the drink needs more matcha!!! Figgy pudding was also not it unfortunately. The espresso tasted a little burnt and watery. I didn't taste much fig but I did notice it was flavored. It was just hard to distinguish the two. :( My barista was really nice so I added stars to that. I went through the drive through and it came out in about 8 minutes. I might come back to sit and drink again but I'm not sure I really wanted to like this place.

I will say, for a fun drink, it is pretty expensive. One drink is like $23 (maybe a little more), so I was kinda stunned by that.
