Croissant and Chai
Juliana S.

It's just what I need for a focused, and productive morning. Booths and a working bar that faces outward toward the Woodruff Arts Center courtyard. Plenty of outdoor seating, and outlets o' plenty. I honestly couldn't ask for more when I want to set up my laptop and have a solo or group work date. The staff is very kind, too. I love knowing that refuge has a job training program that actually empowers their employees. Then of course the chai and the pastries are on point. While I don't deviate from the usual very often, everything I've had has been reliably tasty. Without question, they'll see me again. Pro tip: Nab some street parking if you can. It's the cheaper option.

I've been to Refuge Coffee more than 5 times now! I'm such a regular and realized that it's a time for a review lol. The staff is always nice and make great coffee consistently! Their matcha is also very good! I usually add a lavender shot to my matcha, which make the drink even better! My boyfriend and I have great memories here. I also like that they have private booths so that I can do work sometimes. Overall, I encourage you to pay them a visit!

Ease of ordering, yummy snacks ! Enjoy my quarterly visit to the high museum and found myself hungry. What a great place to stop for a light bite and some coffee or tea. Fast and friendly service. Plenty of indoor seating as well as outdoor tables. The prices are fair considering we were in Midtown. I'll be back.

I love the mission behind this shop but their coffee is not the best in my book. The staff were nice but there was also only 2 people in for the weekend, I think they are busier on the weekdays. I think this is a great set up for people to be able to set up and get some work done. There is mostly booths for seating so it is somewhat private but it isn't the place I'd go for the best coffee in the area. They do have food options from pastries to lunch salad and snack foods, it's really nice to have this shop in an area near all the office buildings in the area.

What a delight to have supported this business who's also giving back to the community by providing job mentorship and training to refugees and immigrants. As an immigrant myself, I would 100% support this place. It's conveniently located just a few steps from High Museum as well. Not a lot of indoor seating but I grabbed and yo my coffee. I ordered one of their seasonal items - Dulce de leche cappuccino and it hit the spot.

Snacks

Cute little spot that's hidden but very close to a lot of places. They had pastries and snacks. Lots of coffee and drink options. Didn't wait long at all to get our drink. Minimal seating inside but there are a lot of spots to sit outside.

Lavender Iced Latte
Shantal H.

Refuge is a cute little coffee shop attached to the High Museum. I felt like grabbing a nice iced latte out, so I walked over to check them out. This place is a no frills kind of coffee shop, but honestly, the Lavender Latte I ordered was perfect. Just the right amount of syrup to milk/coffee ratio. I didn't get a chance to read all of the signage, but my understanding is that Refuge is attached to a non-profit mission, which I'm always a fan of. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Next time I come back, I look forward to trying a pastry, and I plan to bring my laptop for work.

Tried the Chagaccino, very good!! Tasted just like a latte.

Tried the chagaccino- very good! Tasted just like a latte. Went when it was pretty crowded, and service was still very quick! Highly recommend

Part of the outdoor seating area

Had an unexpected day in Atlanta due to a late night cancelled flight, and this place was exactly what I needed. Ordered a mocha latte and chocolate croissant and enjoyed them at the outdoor tables. They were both excellent! (The chicken salad sandwich I got to go was also very good!)

I ate here a few weeks ago during UPS Second Sunday. Luckily the line was not long at all, and there was still seating when my friends and I were there. We did sit outside on the patio (despite scorching temperatures), but they do have an awning so there is a little shade. I just got an everything bagel with cream cheese. It's nothing to the likes of Brooklyn Bagels in Ansley Park, but it served its purpose - a.k.a. my hungry belly!

My partner and I are on a mission to try all of the coffee spots in Atlanta. Refuge had pretty decent coffee although mine didn't taste as good as his even though we got the same thing. We both got oatmilk lattes but mine tasted a little watered down and slightly burnt. His was delicious though. We also got an almond croissant which was pretty tasty. I think mine may have been a slight fluke so I'm interested to see what their other drinks taste like. The coffee shop is in a cute little area of Midtown right next to the High Museum of Art. There is plenty of seating outside and it would be a really great area for coffee especially on a day with nice weather. Be warned, there is not a lot of parking around so it may take a little bit to find some street parking.

Iced latte
Lauren H.

The space is tiny but cute. I got an iced latte with lavender. It's not too sweet. It has a slight aftertaste to the coffee, which is why I gave it 4 stars. It's very convenient to some of the museums in the area!

X Peach Coffee Roasters... we thought we were in the wrong place as we walked into this…read moreclothing/etc. store. But nope- it was all good. And the coffee was all good. Excellent cappuccinos to be had for all here.

I like this place and I would make coffee runs here, but it is not my scene to hang out and spend…read moretime here. When I look for a coffee shop to newly get addicted to, environment is very important to me. So the concept of this place -- Store where there is quality coffee in the corner. It would be amazing to have the opposite -- an amazing coffee shop with quality things to buy. Until that happens, I'll appreciate this though. They focus on New Orleans/Louisiana style drinks for their signatures, but they have all the lattees and fancy macciatos available for the coffee snobs like me. I enjoyed their New Orleans style coffee and it was a good blend of spices yet not too strong. My cousin got a cappaccino which had pretty coffee art. This isn't the place to go if you're on a type of diet needing to alter ingredients to make it fit. Just throwing that out there. Their New Orleans style coffee comes pre-made. They have other options, but don't try to get their signature items. Note, they do have seating. Like one table and some bar stools, but that counts right? I don't believe it was near an outlet to do some work, but it wasn't too busy. I would ask a study group to meet me here, but it would be risky since there is not a lot of options if another group is already there.

While visiting Atlanta had to make time to come here because during college my friends and I LOVED…read morethis spot. There is a lot of seating, lots of savory and sweet food options and of course a variety of drinks. I got a Vietnamese coffee and the chicken curry bun. Both were delicious! Comparing the prices to Los Angeles, getting both of these items for $10 combined was amazing!

Oh this is a bakery that's worth fighting downtown Atlanta traffic & multiple Peachtree roads!…read more We came for boba teas after a show under the big top, and we discovered so much more! This is a bakery with a super cool selection of international cakes and collectibles. Japanese cream cakesC croissants, sweet-filled buns, on & on. It looks like quite a few items sell out, so it can be hit or miss if you have a favorite. We got our boba teas, a tiramisu, strawberry cream cakes to satisfy the sweet tooth(s), but I was so excited to see a chicken korean BBQ sandwich that I had to get one! OH-EM-GEE!! I will be back to the sandwich alone!! It didn't take too long for the hot sandwich despite it being nearly closing time on a Saturday. The staff was helpful, friendly, and very accommodating. The diner itself isn't fancy, and the tables could use some consistent cleaning and clearing. You get plastic tableware and napkins on your own. But it was warm in a cold evening and had plenty of places to sit in the evening. I can imagine it gets pretty packed for lunch. Not sure.
