Clarkston Coffee Shop Refuge Coffee Is Opening at Atlanta Daily World Building Replacing Condesa Coffee on Auburn Avenue, Atlanta | Eater Atlanta

"I’ve seen Condesa Coffee, founded by Georgia Tech graduates Daniela Staiculescu, Amin Rida, Moe Reda, and Octavian Stan, open in Sweet Auburn five years ago after finding success with its original shop on the corner of Boulevard and Freedom Parkway. The owners were credited with contributing to neighborhood revitalization, but the Sweet Auburn shop will close at the end of December while the Old Fourth Ward location has no plans to close. Condesa emphasizes craft and attention to detail—“the details of a perfect shot of espresso from Cauca, Columbia, a Kenyan pourover that’ll put hair on your chest, a classic cocktail done the right way, or simply our homemade chocolate syrup” are central to its approach." - Beth McKibben
