    Chai Latte
    Samantha L.

    I was on the hunt for a nearby coffee shop and this was the first place that came up. I'm really glad I got to try this place. This is a black-owned, LGBTQ-friendly coffee shop. I was lucky and got a free parking spot on the side street. There's only 3 spots reserved for Urban Grind patrons but there's plenty of paid street parking right in front. I wasn't sure what to order but they have a QR code of the menu. I'm not a coffee person but love tea, and I really loved seeing they have tea lattes, which you can choose your type of tea for, as well as chai and matcha too. I went with the chai latte with oat milk which was absolutely delicious and came out nice and hot. It's honestly one of the best chai lattes I've had in Atlanta. In total with tip, it cost $8-9. I decided to stay at the coffee shop and work. It wasn't crowded (came late morning on a weekday) and I was able to get a spot by the windows. The WiFi works great and the seats were comfy. The music is a little loud so if you have to hop on a meeting where you need to unmute, you'll likely need to step outside. I want to add that they have a printer here, which is really awesome and not something I've seen at other coffee shops. There are clear instructions on how to print and there's pricing as well.

    Nice quant coffee shop... Went with a regular cup of coffee with a splash of cream and two spendas paired with a chicken sausage breakfast sandwich.... Service was fast... Nothing special... The coffee shop itself was nice with plenty of seating...

    Perfect lunch spot! Still had a good selection of pasties at 1 when I popped in. Had the Garden Grind- very good. Always appreciate a vegetarian options. Almond croissant /5

    Cool, casual atmosphere. Went here on a Thursday night for the poetry open mic. The host made the vibe super welcoming and fun! He kept us all engaged and it seemed like everyone lowered their guard. The gentleman behind the counter gave excellent service, explaining all the options and answering our questions as we took our time deciding. The matcha latte (oat milk) that he made me was exactly how I wanted it to be! I will definitely be back.

    Such a great spot to work! I ventured out of my apartment recently on the hunt for a nice spot to work at for a few hours and stumbled upon Urban Grind on Yelp. Black-owned and operated, this cozy spot is definitely a new favorite of mine. Upon arrival, I was so lucky to grab a parking spot right outside of the cafe for an hourly fee. When I entered, there were already a number of patrons inside but it was cozy and quiet, perfect for a morning of tasks. I grabbed a hightop seat in the corner that offered an outlet right under the table, really allowing me to get plugged in and settled. When I went to the counter, the barista was such a sweetheart. We chatted a bit and she made her recommendations, leading me to order 3 coffees that morning! All were delicious and made just right. When ordering, there was another woman behind the counter and she just *looked* like she knew what she was doing lol. I asked her if she was one of the owners and she was. It's always great to see owners and managers working hard alongside their team! She gave me some breakfast recommendations and all of them sounded delicious but I ended up going with a croissant breakfast sandwich. Stellar choice. The sandwich was hot, cheesey, the croissant was so flaky and soft - wow. I tore that thing UP. I ended up sitting and working for about 5 hours in the shop with no disruptions. I didn't feel rushed out and the barista checked on me every so often to see if I needed anything. Overall, a fantastic experience and I can't wait to return for another day of coffee and work!

    Turkey Club

    A couple of days out of the week, I like to work remote at a coffee shop. Making my way through back owner ones, I tried Urban Grind. I was almost discouraged from the reviews but, I like to judge establishments for myself. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by the barista and was even complimented. Lunch was about to be served so I just ordered a Lavender Vanilla Iced Latte for the moment until I was hungry for lunch. The latte was delicious and flavorful. Around noon, I went ahead and ordered lunch which was a Turkey Bacon Club and a bag of chips. The panini was definitely cheesy ( as you can see). The shop itself is a little "intimate". There were extra tables on another side of the shop but, they didn't seem to be available to sit. Therefore, most customers were kinda packed together. If you are taking a few minutes I would definitely suggest background noise cancelling headphones as the shop music was a bit loud ( IMO).

    This was my first time visiting although it's a 9min drive from my home. I parked on the side by the dry cleaners because there was free parking. I was greater as soon as I walked in. The decor is very dark academia with the wood and velvet seating. My breakfast sandwich was just okay. My order came out pretty fast. I'll probably just grab a pastry next time, but I'll definitely be back to try the seasonal coffees.

    The classic Grind & Go Breakfast Sandwich

    The egg is there, the cheese is there, but one piece of microwave bacon does not a savory bacon croissant make. In no way shape or form is the sandwich as advertised on the website. I gave this a two since the employees are nice

    Our order was a Lavender Latte and Cappuccino , Old funky furniture in a kind of messy floor plan . Mellow music playing. We also split a huge cinnamon muffin . Nice outdoor seating area with flowers. They have a 15% Yelp coupon on specialty drinks. Service was quick and prompt. Muffin was very good. I would return here

    Cold Brew + Oat Milk

    Quirky neighborhood coffee shop in West Midtown. The inside has a lot of character with furniture that doesn't match each other, adding a uniqueness and personality to each corner of the shop. Things you should know: I. PARKING There's street parking off Marrietta St NW you can take full advantage of & off 3rd St NW. If there isn't any available spots, then you can park in the apartment across the street from Urban Grind. II. SERVICE No complaints III. QUALITY Good ~ I like that they have sugar free caramel and vanilla syrup options. I've never personally tried their pastries but I see eoople order them all the time so they have to be good, right? IV. CAPACITY For a Sunday morning, available seating was slim. Business is good.

    Cold brew with cream
    Kristen B.

    Stopped by here for coffee and breakfast and to get a little work done! ***LOCATION*** Was happily surprised to find parking here! There is paid street parking out front, but they do have about 3 spots on the side of the building for customers that is free, which is very nice! I got here at 7:50 am right before they opened, so I easily got a spot, but not sure if there would be spots later in the day. I only stayed for an hour then went home! ***EXPERIENCE*** I came right at opening, so there was only one person working, and she was clearly still trying to get everything together for the opening, but she stopped to let me in and take my order! I didn't see the wifi password anywhere and I hate asking lol. Since I was only there for an hour, I just used my hotspot. There was a power strip by the table I chose, but I didn't see outlets by all seats. There was a booth in the back that I wanted to sit at but it looked super worn down with no outlets, so I opted for a normal table. The inside was cozy, but I personally didn't live the vibe. It was okay, just not my favorite local cafe. Definitely worth coming occasionally but won't be my go-to. ***STAFF*** Friendly! It was a quick interaction and nothing extra, but I heard her greeting and saying bye to other guests as well! ***PRICE*** Normal price for a coffee shop! Around 5$ for a coffee and 5$ for a croissant with egg and cheese. ***FOOD/DRINKS*** Cold brew with cream - it was okay, but a little bitter. I would say 7/10 Egg and cheese croissant - also pretty good but very flat and the egg was kind of runny. I would also say 7/10 for the sandwich ***CONCLUSION*** Nothing wildy exceptional but overall a nice coffee shop to meet friends or get some work done. A decent food and drink selection and reasonable prices! Bonus for at least a few free parking spots too and nice staff!

    About a mile from the overpriced coffee of the CNN Center and hotels is this friendly gem. Good latte. Fast WiFi. Exactly what I needed.

    Where do you park?

    The six spaces between Urban Grind & the Dry Cleaners is free. If those spots aren't available, there's parking in the lot by the leasing office. If you park by the leasing office, Urban Grind informed me to simply let the barista know you parked…

    What a gorgeoussss coffe shop!! I have seen Daydreamer all over social media and after reading the…read morereviews on Yelp, I thought it would be a great place to spend a morning working. I circled the block before I found street parking about a block away from the coffee shop. Because it was a weekday morning, I wasn't surprised that the streets were busy and parking didn't end up costing too much. After a brief walk, I approached the building and first impressions were fantastic. Daydreamer is connected to an apartment building and the aesthetics are on point. Like, this place is gorgeous! There was way more seating than I expected, inside of the cafe, outside on the terrace, and inside of the attached leasing office. There were a number of tables, booths and even comfy couches to lounge on. Electrical outlets weren't plentiful, but I eventually snagged a booth that had a plug. Yay! There seemed to only be one menu at the front and it said 'please don't take', lol. So I stayed very close to the register as I read the menu, but I'm hoping they just ran out or my 4-eyed self missed the larger menu on display. I decided to go with the sugar graham hot latte w/ oatmilk and one of their pastries. The employee behind the counter was really patient and so kind to every customer, he was running that counter like the navy. 5-stars for him! I see why this place is such a hit among other Yelpers. I'll be back to enjoy the great coffee and good vibes!

    Wow! I've been trying to stop by Daydreamer since they opened last August and I finally had the…read morechance. I just have to say a HUGE shoutout to our Barista, Sarah! She was phenomenal! She was so friendly and also gave great suggestions from their menu. She was the only person working because we came in the middle of the day. There were a decent amount of customers but the service was quick and efficient. I have to give her her flowers, she was the icing on top of a great experience. This has got to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing coffee shops I have ever seen. In addition to the gorgeous midcentury modern decor, there is a ton of seating available. I believe the coffee shop is attached to the apartment building, so the theme runs between both large seating areas. It was so cool! My matcha was delicious! I ended up going with the Morning Matcha (Lavender and White Chocolate, I added oat milk) and it did not disappoint! The prices were on par with other coffeehouses in the midtown ATL area. I did not have a chance to try the pastries but hopefully next time! Overall, this was a great experience! I look forward to visiting soon. Parking can be difficult in midtown so be mindful of that when visiting. Definitely a great place to study and get some work done if needed. Happy Eating!!

    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.
