"Warm and earnest, this neighborhood coffee shop opened with the founder happily bartending drinks while house chai perfume and 1980s tunes filled the air. Housed in a 112-year-old building, the interior leans into its historic character — original floor dips, penny-tile botanical motifs, vine-line molding and a tin-influenced ceiling painted a signature green-cyan that shifts in tone across layers — giving the space a nostalgic, layered charm. Early operational challenges with a landlord change were resolved through a new partnership with neighboring Atlanta Tech Village leadership, and the team plans to expand the coffee menu with varied brew methods and stronger options while adding more grab-and-go food to take advantage of street parking and increased foot and bike traffic. The owner views the shop as part of a larger effort to enliven the street and improve transit-oriented pedestrian life, and is already eyeing further expansion, including a potential high-profile location on Peachtree Street. Its name references a nearby ballpark where Atlanta’s first minor-league and Negro American League teams played nearly a century ago." - Sarra Sedghi
