    This coffee shop, aptly named, is designed for us and by us. It offers an intimate atmosphere with a menu curated by black culture. I visited for an open mic night and had an incredible time enjoying performances by local black artists

    A nice warm coffee shop in Atlanta with free parking and free wifi. They have a variety of coffee, tea & food that's delicious. I know matcha is going crazy right now they have a decent matcha here called Cash Money. Their Lightskin Keisha espresso is delicious it's my new favorite drink from here. The service is great, they hold different type of events here and it's black owned!

    For me, this was a 3.5 star experience, so I rounded up to 4. I met up with a friend here to check out Black Coffee and have a soul-soothing catch up chat. I arrived a little early and had time to explore the menu and talk through my order decision with the staff. Even though there were a handful of people sitting at tables working, I was the only person needing to order so the staff took time to engage me, answer my questions, and walk me through some of the menu items. The vibes are quintessentially cultured from the decor to the music to the patrons. We perched on a couch and sat for almost three hours, sharing pictures, swapping stories, and verbally dreaming forward. In that time, our orders were delivered to us and another customer who was ear hustling a bit came over to network with us. It was a good time. The snag I ran into was trying to order food. I'd intended to have both a hot drink and food, but they were out of many food items and ingredients at the time I ordered. I ultimately went with the Brown Skin Girl (made hot with oat milk) and an avocado toast. They were out of arugula, which is one of the standard ingredients. I was fine with this as I don't love arugula so asked them to make it anyway. I wanted to upgrade to the version that has lox and egg, but they were out of the salmon too. The coffee drink was delicious but I'd skip the toast next time. It was quite a skimpy serving for the price ($13.99); see picture for context. When it was served to me, I requested plasticware but they were also out of that. Through it all, the staff was excellent. The restroom was clean and well-stocked. There is a shared parking lot with other businesses, and there was plenty of parking at the time I went (mid-day and mid-week). Tl;dr -- the vibes and specialty coffee are excellent, the food prices are too high for the product, the staff is attentive and informative, its a comfortable place to hang out to catch up with friends or on work

    This is such a nice place to work or meet up with friends to grab a coffee! We came in on a Tuesday morning and worked for a couple hours. There were plenty of plugs everywhere which is always a plus! Different type of seating throughout. We both really enjoyed our lattes! They weren't overall sweet but delivered the profile described on the menu. I also loved the handwritten encouraging notes on the cup ! Such a cute touch!

    When I was doing a hills4atl event for Juneteenth, I saw that Black Coffee had a stand!!! I was so excited. They had their light skin keisha and the new new, along with drip coffee. Their two samples were life changers. I had the light skin keisha (it's like an iced lavender vanilla latte with honey drizzle, so good). The new new was like an iced passion fruit sweetened green tea. It was extremely refreshing. Please give this coffee shop some love because their coffee and drinks are a 10/10

    I do love this place! I will happily pay over $20 for a Light skin Kiesha and ATL toast hold the egg and salmon please. I haven't found an avocado toast anywhere that matches it. Service is not fast, but you know what they say--fast food ain't good and good food ain't fast. There's a nice cozy vibe for you while you wait and you can call orders in too (doesn't always help with speed either tho).

    Alena B.

    Black Coffee Atlanta is such an aesthetically pleasing and creative place to be. They have really cute names for their coffee, espresso, & tea options. There's also a small section of light bites to enjoy. Highly recommend the Cash Money Matcha!!!! The cinnamon & vanilla twist really set it off!!! They have wifi and lots of seating if you're a remote worker or just want to hang out and catch a vibe!

    The coffees are very different. I love the aesthetic. I felt at home. I felt I could be there and create. The service was good. The only reason why I gave it four stars is because the wait time was extremely long from what I could tell. they're a small business And they have limited seating. I'm really excited to see them expand.

    This was my third visit and I have to say I love the Brown Skin Girl iced drink and the overall vibe here. Plenty of parking and excellent customer service.

    First we walked on cool vibe the decor really cool displays our culture in music literature film The service friendly knowledgeable give you time to make up your mind lots of choices orders the light skin Keisha also cash money matcha also the the lox sandwich Since all is made to order there a slight wait so I'll pause come back to give you the tea on the taste light skin Keisha good you can taste the lavender not to much also the honey The matcha also very good we have been hitting all coffee shops in the ATL area this one is one of the best

    Light Skin Keisha
    Erin D.

    Stopped in to be stationary for a meeting I had to take. Very welcoming and clean environment, I ordered the light skin Keisha based upon owner recommendations and it was amazing! I had mine with oat milk and it was delicious!! Would definitely come back and recommend to others but a great coffee shop vibe and delicious coffee to go match the vibes. The playlist being played was also great.

Definitely one of those dishes you end up craving again later. Everything tastes fresh, and you can tell they put care into the food.

If you're looking for a low-key spot with good food and a cozy feel, this is definitely one to check out. I'll be back for that corned beef hash every time

My request is denied to my face, because it's "too late." Another 10 minutes goes by before I get my food, and it's mid. There's no way you can estimate that my food will be ready on 15 minutes when it takes an hour. Then you tell me to wait 10 minutes 3 more times? Ridiculous.

This was a Monday morning around 9:30 am. The ONLY food they had available were bagels with cream cheese! She said they ran out over the weekend!!!! Unless you count a few bags of chips in a bowl ! I had read the menu before I went and had planned to grab several different types of pastries to take. I didn't even really want a bagel , but had no choice. And it took almost 15 minutes to get my bagel. How slow is your toaster??? And even the coffee wasn't that great . And the two creamers she gave me were curdled when I poured them in the coffee! She said it was probably bc the coffee was too hot! Ridiculous! I know old cream when it doesn't stir down into the coffee but still sits on the surface after you've stirred And for a bagel with plain cream cheese in just a container , and a plain hot coffee, this was over $9 !!! Nice ambience, nice waitperson; but overall extremely disappointing experience. Only advice I could give is call ahead if you want to be sure what pastries, if any they have!

Boteco is one of the first places I recall that have a food truck set up to prepare meals. You order at the bar and then an attendant brings the food to you either inside in the many booths available for dining or outside dining options, near the food truck as well as the rear of the building. Menu offerings included tacos, sandwiches, quesadillas, and several sides, including rice, beans, yucca, fries, and garlic lime rice to name a few. I chose a fish taco, a shrimp, taco and garlic lime rice for my evening meal. Everything was good overall; the rice not so much. It lacked flavor. It did not have the seasoning expected by its appearance. The addition of salsa, which were an additional fee, helped. The tacos were good and served on either option of flour or corn soft shells. I chose flour. The ala carte meal was filling without feeling stuffed and paired well with Pisco based alcoholic beverage. I frequent Buteco primarily for the music, which usually consists of DJs in the covered area behind the main bar. Line up changes and usually posted as signage indicates. Will definitely return and nice to have eating options like Buteco/foodtruck when in vicinity!
