Atlanta Coffee Roasters

I was walking around when I found this amazing place. Basically they are famous because of coffee roasting. They have many different coffees, fresh and with great quality. The price is different but in average you can buy coffee beans for 14-16 bucks per pound. It's a great place if you just want to order a coffee, sit and read a book! The staff are so friendly and the service is good. I ordered a Cappuccino for $3.75. The price is comparable and the quality was great. On Sundays they have roasting and the store is closed. I really enjoyed my time there and I'll definitely go there again.

REALLY good roasts! Was my first time buying from a local roaster, and I don’t think I’ll buy much more grocery store coffee if I can help it.

Bill is hands down the best. FIDR for espresso is the only thing we use, it’s life changing!

Best place to buy whole bean coffee.I just bought some. The place is open for online order pick-up only. You can only order coffee but no drinks. I just wish it was open for drinks ordering as well; I miss that.

The kindest gentleman took care of my order. Knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate Mr. Bill provided me with a better understanding of coffee beans. It’s not just about flavor and location but the process as well. (Very helpful!) While the shop may not be open for a cuppa the owner is working hard to fill orders for patrons. Order online and be ready to pickup at your slotted time.

Atlanta coffee roasters is THE place to buy your roasted coffee. If your #1 priority is enjoying the best roasted beans available, there’s no other choice in my opinion. Since covid, you order beans online and schedule a pickup. They don’t have their coffee service open again, but I am hopeful.

Great & knowledgeable staff. Got the best coffee beans in town. Was encouraged to try making my own cold brew at home & it was wonderful. I save money & drink great coffee. Thanks for all your knowledge it now gets me goin each morning.

You'll never go back to Starbucks again! If you can visit this place during their business hours (9-5) I highly suggest trying the Carmel Frappe. It's liquid gold. Margie is their normal barista during the week and she's not only friendly but quick.

I got the seasonal latte, which was a s'mores latte with half syrup and it was really good! I don't like my coffee too sweet so having half syrup was perfect for me. I really liked the flavor of it but I will say it wasn't really anything special. The vibes of the place are also really nice, it had really nice cozy coffee shop vibes. I can see myself coming here and doing work if I lived closer to it. It was also very quiet so it's a great place to come and read and do work. In fact, most of the people there were doing work or reading.

Though the guy who made my Chai latte took forever, he was the absolute sweetest. He mentioned he was out of practice with making Chai latte and kept apologizing. I wasn't in any rush so I didn't mind :-) This place was so cozy and homey. I wish I hadn't come so late in the day as it is an ideal "all day work from home" spot! I also loved that it wasn't busy and quiet. Spiller Park around the corner is always packed with hardly any seats available and their coffee is overpriced for the quality and taste. If you're looking for a peaceful place to study or work with not much foot traffic, drop by!

Awesome place!!! We recently wanted to step up our coffee game and try new things, this was definitely the place to go. Bill and Leo were super helpful introducing new coffees to us and educating us. They will see again soon.

Casey Barista Extraordinaire Excellent Ambience Warm & Global Family Welcome Added to my PREFERRED LIST

I was so excited to go in and visit this location because they have fresh tea. However my experience was less than desirable because the clerk ignored me and provided less than desirable service. There were only 3 customers in the store during the time of my visit. Two of them were seated and had been served. I waited at the cash register for 5 to 7 minutes for the clerk to acknowledge me. When she finally did I secretly wish she never had. She was rude and dismissive. She made me wait at the register until she cleaned every empty table and repositioned every empty chair. They had a nice display of gourmet chocolates and on top of the display they had cute little gold boxes with gold bows what the name of the Chocolate Company on it. I told the clerk I already picked up the piece I want and showed it to her. I was so excited it looks so nice and fresh. That's when the clerk disposition changed and she quickly became a chatterbox. Clerk: "I wouldn't buy that one if I were you. I just put those out. you may want to get one from the back." Me: "well that's good if you just put them out then they're fresh and I'll take that one in front because it has yummy pecans" Clerk: "like I said I just put those out" Me: "oh right what do you recommend" I was thinking maybe the chocolate will melt or too gooey or something to take out of the cabinet. I told the clerk I was taking the chocolate to go. She placed it on a piece of napkin and handed it to me. So then I explained again I'm taking it to go. The clerk said we don't have any bags. Then I said well do you have the gourmet boxes. Because there's boxes on the display counter. The clerk was reluctant and said, "if you want that". Smh she shoved the fragile candy in the box. I had to ask for the matching bow. The clerk treated me as if I was a stealing candy. The candy per piece was just shy of $4. So I was stealing because I paid their ticketed price. But the real crime and theft was their lack of service and bias treatment. I got home and realized there was a white stripe through the chocolate and the chocolate was old. She didn't give me the chocolate I requested and basically convince me to purchase the older chocolate. I would absolutely never patronize this location. I would encourage urban professionals to avoid this location. It's not for us. They cater to a certain type of individual and it's evident in the selective service they provide. $4 for one piece of chocolate and segregated treatment.

This place is simultaneously deeply calming (because of the atmosphere) and invigorating (because of the coffee). I am not sure how they pull off that balance, but they do. And the coffee is delicious. It should be, because the coffee is their obsession. When you walk in, you will feel that you are in someone's living room, or perhaps an old British lady's parlor (if British ladies drank java instead of tea). You'll hear the clink of spoons against china. There may or may not be music playing, but if there is, it will be soft and unobtrusive, perhaps a little light jazz. It is a bit dark and cool, particularly appealing in the heat and brightness of Atlanta. The staff is extremely knowledgeable about coffee. Because they roast it there daily, they know their stuff. You will be treated to a lot of information (very gently and affectionately delivered) about the coffee's source, type, and roast. You may hear about the owner's experience in purchasing the coffee in that country. Pay attention, because what you are experiencing is dedication, which is interesting in and of itself. They will pour you a cup after consulting you about your coffee predilections. If you order an espresso concoction, you will be asked for your choice of dairy / non dairy product. I had a plain drip coffee and it was smooth as silk. I sat at a side table and worked a bit, while people around me wrote, read newspapers, and chatted softly. My 1-star ding is for spotty wifi. Then I bought a pound to take home (how could I not?) and toodled on my way. Any time I am on this side of town, I will definitely stop by here. This will also be my go-to place for coffee gifts for the java snobs in my life.

Often at times, I find it difficult to decide which coffeeshop to spend a few productive hours at - Dancing Goats is often too crowded, Java Monkey too dim, Inman Perk too out of the way... so what better choice than Toco Hill's Atlanta Coffee Roasters! Like many of the previous reviews, one of the best traits about this coffeeshop is how amazingly quiet it is. I can always count on an available table and a peaceful ambience. It's almost as if the customers know how quiet the place should be - I've seen many take their drinks outside to chat in order not to disturb the constant presence of peace. The coffee is not disappointing either. There's an enormous selection of coffee beans from all over the world, which you can purchase by the pound, and their prices are quite reasonable. They even freeze their iced coffee into iced cubes ahead of time and include them in your iced coffee order (so it prevents the drink from becoming watery over time)! As for downsides - there is a hidden bathroom that's all the way in the corner of the back room, which makes it somewhat awkward to make a trip to. As other reviews have mentioned, there is occasionally a screaming baby, but hopefully you won't have to encounter the infant, especially if you plan on spending an afternoon there.

It's quiet in here. Too quiet. The soft blues/jazz music is darkly seductive. I cast a shifty eye 'round the room, wondering who else in here is a spy waiting for their next connection at a railway station. Maybe it's the guy in the corner with the briefcase and the trench-coat. He keeps looking at me. I hope "the crow flies at midnight" will work with this fellow. He's drinking some sort of iced coffee drink. Ha! No self-respecting agent would allow himself to be seen with such a thing. Maybe it's the lady outside, earnestly bent over her laptop with a baseball cap pulled low over her eyes. There's no briefcase, and she doesn't even have a drink, but you can tell she's ready to run at the drop of a hat. Lastly, I'm not even worried about the dude studying near the Bodum paraphernalia. He needs all the help he can get--can't even tell the book he's reading is upside down. This place is all about the beverage. You won't find a wide selection of baked goods in any glass cabinetry. (There is a very small selection of muffins & stuff available.) Counter space is almost singularly dedicated to coffee & tea and their kin. It's places like this that make me realize there's way more to coffee or tea than I will ever realize, and I wonder what my "connoisseur" friends have to say about this place. Atlanta Coffee Roasters is comfortable. Intimate. The quiet is occasionally ruffled by the sound of the roaster, or the making of some steamed drink. And there's free wifi, which always makes me happy. Service was also fast & friendly. And my price-tag wasn't that high, either. I'll happily come back. Holler if you're coming with.

Give it up for the local coffee shop with the huevos to import and roast their own beans. Atlanta Coffee Roasters has a huge number of bean varieties available for purchase, all of them roasted on site in the store. They purchase green coffee beans from all over the world, create their own blends, and roast in small batches. They usually have three or four of their coffee varieties brewed available for you to try. As far as the store, it's in Atlanta so of course it's in a strip mall. Urban sprawl at its finest...There aren't a ton of seats in the shop, but it's pretty quiet and there is one ridiculously comfy couch. I've had a few business meetings in this place, and I always feel like I should be whispering, the people on their laptops always give me the "Use your inside voice" looks when I talk. One complaint: ummm, how can I say this politely? Celine Freaking Dion on the stereo last time I was there. How can people work with that in the background? Thank God for headphones.

This is one of my new favorite places. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The shop is quiet and cozy. They have a huge selection of coffees that they roast nightly. Prices are competitive and the quality of the product is awesome. I've not tried their teas but they have a large selection of those as well. Stop by and give this place a try - you won't be disappointed!

The coffee is very good and reasonably priced. They have some of the best fresh whole bean coffees in Atlanta, if not the best. If you like single origin coffees, the French Roast Sumatra and the Guatemala Antigua are heavenly. If you're more in to blends, try the Anniversary Roast. There is a large selection of other blends and single origin coffees nicely organized along a counter. The atmosphere is a more mellow, quieter version of other coffee shops, with lower prices than many other coffee shops too. It's a great place for peacefully sipping and thinking or working.

The best iced coffee in Atlanta, hands down. The guys running the place know their coffee, source it well, and roast it expertly. The cafe is a little cramped, but generally quiet enough for study. Their refillable on-site mug of hot coffee is still only $2. They're the absolute best place in the city to purchase freshly roasted beans for making coffee at home. They usually have an extensive selection of varieties on hand. My only real complaint is the hours. As a small, locally operated place, they aren't open very early or very late, and they take most holidays off. There are many times I'd like to drop by, but can't due to the schedule.

I go here often and it is always a toss up as to how it will be. Service is always slow. The regular coffee is good, but the espresso drinks are inconsistent. Today got a latte and a cappuccino in cups (to stay) and they were exactly the same and neither one was very good. The barista should know how to make coffee drinks. I give two stars because I actually like the place, good for writing (if you have music and earbuds), but the drinks are unpredictable.

Wow, this place is pretty rad. Boyfriend and I came in hoping to get some guidance on what kind of bean to experiment with since we just got an espresso machine. Bill and Leo were very personable and made our experience so fun and educational. We are excited to come back and check out all the cool coffee beans they have to offer !

This is the ideal coffee shop to visit if you're looking for some peace and quiet. It's rarely busy - or I haven't seen it busy in my past two visits or while driving by. The seating area is decent sized, it's made up of a few love seats, one sofa, and ten or so tables. When I first walked in, there were two baristas and two customers. It took about a minute or two for the first barista to acknowledge me and take my order. I decided on their special: a Snickers Latte, it came with flavor shots of caramel and hazelnut. The barista seemed taken aback my request and looked up at the specials board confused. She explained that it was a new item and she had yet to make it; she asked barista #2 - we'll call her - to make it for me instead. At this point, "Barista #2" still hadn't acknowledged me at all, and continued not to, she addressed every question regarding my preferences to the other barista. When she finished with my drink, she didn't alert me in any way, I had to ask "Barista #1" - who was actually quite friendly and apologetic, she even asked if their were any adjustments she should make to the latte. Overall, the latte was decent but typical - there was nothing special about it and it was a little overpriced. I really wanted to like this place but it leaves a lot to be desired.

Food: I ordered a Mocha and it was very good, matter of fact probably the best one I've had in Atlanta, even better than Starbucks and Chocolate'. Cost: On par with other cafe's. Dining Area: The decor leaves a lot to be desired, dust everywhere, especially on the excessive, unnecessary and badly needing replaced drapery which is all over the ceiling. The place is rather dark and not very roomy. I thought I walked into a morgue or a library when I first walked in because it was so quiet you could hear a mouse fart, but if you're looking for a quiet study environment it's a good thing. Parking: It's in a shopping center, definitely no parking issues here. Service: I asked the youngish guy (late 20's , early 30's?) how long the place had been here and he seemed a little insulted that I had to ask, he was a bit snarky in his response, but he prepared the two mochas we ordered with a decent speed. Summary: Despite the snarky attitude from the barista and the dusty like morgue atmosphere, I will definitely get more coffee from this place, but only to-go because I don't want to be attacked by killer dust bunnies. Dinged one star because of the all the dust and the unnecessary drapery.

I guess it's BECAUSE I am a coffee snob that I was not impressed with this shop. It's clear they do tons of flavors and the atmosphere is quaint, but they are not a proper roaster. Maybe because I live on the West Coast, where roasting is now an art in and of itself and where standards for calling oneself a roaster are different. I expected a huge roaster in back with artisans watching the cracks on the beans and taking little handfuls out for a smell check, etc... If you like flavored coffee, you'll probably love it here, but they are a coffee vendor; not a roaster.

I was in the Toco Hills area and needed to get a little work done. I rolled past the Starbucks on the corner of North Druid and LaVista because I had located a local coffee shop online, Atlanta Coffee Roasters. The shop is completely empty at 4pm on a Monday, which does not seem that unusual. I opt for a table over the threadbare couches as I need to work. I set up my computer and ask the barista if there is a wifi password. She silently writes on a napkin and hands it to me. It reads, 'buyadrinkf1rst'. I was a little startled by the rudeness of this gesture and kind of laughed. For some reason, I asked the obvious, "Would you prefer that I purchase a drink first?". She quietly states, "It's up to you." Umm.... I respect and appreciate local business owners trying to compete with national brands. It is their right to decline to provide use of their facilities to non-patrons. Had this not occurred, I'm not certain if I would have purchased something or not. Sometimes do, sometimes don't but I always set up my computer first. The coffee certainly smelled delicious. However, the service was strongly unwelcoming. So, I left and am writing this review from the Starbucks down the street. There are about 13 other people in here and my Frappuccino is delicious.

Adorable place - in fact, 'the' place if you want a comforting, quiet atmosphere - I'm not a fan of the loud-music overpriced 'corporate' coffee and clueless workers at the local Starbucks. The knowledgeable tea-tenders here custom-select 'the' tea blend for you, and are more 'chill' rather than 'frat-boy'. I was feeling under the weather, and a perfect ginger and mint tea was very soothing. A real gift after an early morning at Starbucks where I asked what the ingredients are in an herbal tea - The worker looked at me like I was speaking Greek and replied, "I dunno - it's tea. What else can be in there? Tea." There actually wasn't any 'tea' in that passion fruit-hibiscus mixture. And, the tea here costs 1/3 of what it costs at Starbucks and is triple the size. The only thing missing at this place - food.

This location is right off North Druid Hills (next to Kroger). It was not hard to find; however, this is a very "quiet" place to have coffee. Once I walked inside, it was dark but comfy. The baristas were somewhat helpful, despite talking about their own problems which I didn't see how that would be brought up at work in front of a customer. I ordered my typical coffee "white chocolate mocha with soy", was superb! I even got a little art worked into mine, nice touch. There are a lot of coffee beans to choose from here which I thought was pretty neat (including teas). This coffee shop would not be ideal to study in but it can be. The seats are comfortable, I found plenty of plugs for the laptop savvy. But, I felt like I was going to fall asleep while drinking my coffee. It is too quiet to the fact that you can hear the owner sleeping on the couches. I need background noise (i.e. like starbucks or Octane's) to help me stay focused! Also, which I have already mentioned, you can hear the baristas talk about their problems of not wanting to be there. Not really helpful when studying for an exam, nor the irritating background noise that I want. Despite some problems, I love their coffee. I hope they improve their service though.

I am a coffee snob and this place is good as it gets... Incredible staff the best espresso and ice coffee(they have ice cubes made of coffee that does not dilute). I pass 5 corporate coffee shops to get here and I love this place. The beans and the service is incredible... If you love coffee you have to go... Only downside it closes a bit early on the weekends.

Want a Starbucks while at Jew Kroger? Try this place. I got an iced coffee with a vanilla shot and for a " grande" at Starbucks for approx $3, I got the same for a little over $2. :) Also, they freeze the iced coffee ice cubes with coffee in them (coffee cubes?) lol. Anyhow, they were deeeelicious! A fine alternative to the you-know-who in the same vicinity.

Good coffee, but the environment leaves much to be desired. Used to be better - better employees, good music. The regular employees now are a mixed bag - either seem like they have no idea what's going on or like the coffee shop is their own personal day care. No music playing, just the sounds of the employee's crying baby. Not so conducive to getting work done. I prefer to support local businesses (and tasty coffee), but this place is probably better for just getting coffee to go. Want to sit and talk or work and actually focus? Don't want to hear about employees personal lives or them complaining about other employees? Want some background music? The chain coffee shop down the street is a better bet for settling in.

Another reason you never judge an establishment by number of stars. This place serves great cup of coffee at price that's reasonable. Knowledgable owner and attention to detail. I think people who come here will be back for the coffee, not for the canned tea or slow service. Just be patient and enjoy the good cup of coffee. As always....You're Welcome!

I used to love this place when I was in college -- great place to sip coffee and they sold great beans. I ordered their "bean of the month" subscription by phone (I live in New York now) as a gift. They made two big mistakes on the order (including missing the holiday season!) and have been incommunicado for the past week despite two attempts I've made to contact them. Sadly, I have to give them one star in light of this (and challenge the CC order). I'll consider changing it if they do the right thing.

Service was too slow, because they only had one lady in the front, taking orders and making coffee. What made it worse was, she kept talking to the lady in front of me without thinking about other orders that needed to be taken care of. It definitely took more than 10 mins to get some espresso drinks. I got drip coffee, considering the situation. First off, I'm not a drip coffee person. I believe single cup pour-over can do much better than drip coffee. That being said, the taste was just okay. Even though I liked the sourness, the after-taste was weird. Maybe they roast coffee daily. But the speed to get a cup is not so tolerable in a Saturday afternoon.

Was looking for a local coffee roaster because my wife and I LOVE all things coffee... and this place did not disappoint! Bill was very educational and helpful in my selections to take home, and I am officially addicted to this place! You can't beat the atmosphere, and knowledge! This is definitely and experiential coffee shop, so enjoy the conversation and the time soaking in the ambience if they are with another client... because I guarantee they will give you their undivided attention when you're up!.. something you will/ should appreciate! Thank you for being an amazing local shop!!!

Best and freshest beans in town. That's what I care about. For that they get 5 stars. The owner is a bit eccentric and they are often out of stock of your favorite roasts. The service ranges from slow to cranky. It is not the place to have your cup or even ask questions about the beans. Know what you want before you go in there. I spend a lot of money her and still I seem to get attitude each time I walk though the door. So I get my beans and get out.

I work in the area and, for a couple months now, have really been wanting to try this place. I had time this morning and decided to stop in. The place was quiet, very quiet, with one barista working and another customer. It took a bit before anyone realized I was there, but once she did, the service was prompt and pleasant. I ordered a latte and liked that she asked for my milk preference as most places don't do this any longer. It didn't take too long to make the coffee, and there was even a bit of latte art on the top. Up until now my experience was pretty decent at this place. Unfortunately, once the coffee actually cooled down and I tried it, that ended. The coffee itself tasted burnt and old and bitter, and I ended up throwing it out after trying to stomach a few gulps. It looks like I'll be sticking to coffee at the General Muir if I have time, or just Starbucks if I don't.

This is a very cozy neighborhood coffee shop. Great selection of coffee and tea and customer service is superb. Particularly love the barista Marcie! It isn't a swanky place if that is what you are looking for but it has a local feel. A great rare find and refreshing from the typical chains

I love this place. Atlanta Coffee Roasters offer: confident coffee. a serene working environment (with a strong wi-fi connection). sweet treats, when necessary. free coffee refills. nice local radio station subtly playing overhead. This place is IT! If you consider yourself passionate about coffee or if you're a coffee snob like me, you need to be here. AND if you've known about this place and not frequented (if coffee shops are your thing), then I question the validity of your coffee knowledge (see, those snob roots run deep). I'm embarrassed that I even dropped a dollar at Starbucks. What the hell was I thinking? No worries, I'm here for good. Support these people the best you can. They obviously know what they're doing (and don't just pretend to, as their competitors do).

When I first walked in...I immediately felt like I needed to whisper. They're whole bean coffee selection is amazing and the roast their beans in the back. The girl working with the tattoos was extremely helpful and recommended the ice coffee. They make the iced coffee with a cold brew process AND they use ice cubes made with COFFEE!! No more watered down ice coffee. I love this place and will be back.

Not at all what I was expecting. On the pro side: lots of good make your own coffee supplies (and now I know where to get my Chemex filter refills). The coffee itself was just fine--nothing to write home about, nothing to complain about. On the con side: cranky coffee lady who loudly broadcast "I'm closing this place in 15 minutes because I have more important things to do." And to follow up with that--they close at 5! Wish I had realized that before I showed up to do some work at 4:20. Oh well--lesson learned. Now I'm at Dancing Goats and everything is much better with my world.

I wanted to love this place, pretty badly. I love coffee shops and live right nearby. I'm writing this review after 3 identically bad experiences. The coffee is just plain horrible. It tastes burnt, sour, just bad. I enjoy sitting in coffee houses and honestly, the coffee isn't always the most important part. Ambiance is super important this place is quite cute. But the coffee has to at least be drinkable. It's a low standard and this is the first coffee shop I've ever been to that doesn't meet it. Cute tables and decor, nice location. But, you do want at least OK coffee and this place fails to deliver every time. It's not just me, my wife hates the coffee also. Every time we walk by we give it frustrated glances.

Best coffee store in USA! Awesome coffee, nice people and great environment. Make sure you ask for Bill and and give him a big Texas hello! We have moved to Houston and miss this place!

Always a nice cozy spot. Love to meet neighborhood friends there for coffee and conversation. Seating outside and in.

Came in here and everything was great. The barista on duty, Casey, was phenomenal and answered all of the questions that I had and made a great cappuccino. I'd give him 6 stars if I could. Great place. Can't wait to come back!

This is place is a hidden gem! They roast all their own beans, and at any given time you can select from at least 15-ish different types of coffee. Better yet, they will make any drink with any of the coffees they have in stock. This provides a rare opportunity to sample unique coffees in the form that you prefer (e.g. Americano, French press, cappuccino...). I also enjoy the cozy-but-slightly-dingy atmosphere. It's as a great place to study or work. One word of caution: they basically do not have food (I think they have some pre-packaged biscotti but nothing that appears to be worth the calories), so don't come hungry.

I'm a pastor across the street from this place and I find two things to be perfect about this coffee shop: 1. They serve great coffee for less than the local, chain competitors 2. The atmosphere is quiet and welcoming making it easy to work on sermons etc... I can't speak to how meetings do or don't work here, but one can certainly get plenty of individual work/reading done here.

I did set foot again in the place and the staff member was really polite and courteous. They have the best hot chocolate ever and their wifi connection is great.

I really enjoy the extensive and exotic selection of coffee here. It's very quaint, located in the Toco Hills Shopping Center. It makes me feel good when I can be serviced by the owner of an establishment and feel I am contributing to the local community. I recommend the support of Atlanta Coffee Roasters to continue it's competition in the oversaturated coffee shop arena.

This place has always been great for years and years. I personally know the owner and have gotten great info from him on coffee travel and touring overseas. Until loud mouth antisemite A.J. started working here. He bitches about the other employees and uses inconsiderate terminology to talk about the customers. The odd thing now is that sometimes when visiting I come in and the lights are off or very dim, sometime the music is off, other times the CD skips and no one notices or cares. It is inconsistent. I like supporting local businesses, they have excellent coffee or so I hear, I don't drink it - but sometimes it is easier to go to the chains to avoid the employee drama. The workers take a sense of ownership which is great, they just sometimes take it too far and perhaps should be background and neutral, not distracting.

Visited this place for some coffee on a chilly day in Atlanta. The latte was great and the chocolate croissant was relish!

I walked over here from my apartment (not too far..maybe 1.5 miles) just to get coffee. I've been eyeing this place every time I've driven by and had a friend tell me it was great! However, I wasn't able to try it because even though the hours on their door say it doesn't close until 5 pm on Saturdays, they've been locked up since I got here at 4:15. Not sure I'll want to come back again if the hours are sketchy.

An undiscovered neighborhood coffee spot, for a great but relatively inexpensive cup of coffee or tea. They roast their own beans here so if you're looking for a unique flavor, you'll probably find it here. One of my favorite drinks is their iced espresso, because they use ice cubes made from espresso, so it doesn't melt into a weak cup of coffee! Free wifi and comfortable (if limited) seating make this a great place for a satellite office. But I agree with the other reviewer that meetings sometimes get looked at askance.

Atlanta Coffee Roasters consistently provides the best coffee I've ever had. We have been buying freshly roasted coffee beans for years now and now great coffee isn't a luxury, its a necessity. I haven't spent much time in it as a coffee shop, but it has all the necessary coffee shop amenities - couches, tables, internet, fresh coffee and some nibblies. Mainly I use it to purchase coffee beans. They have a variety of beans from around the world, and roast them themselves. Buy your own beans, grind at home and enjoy the best possible cup of coffee at home. It never gets old.

I've lived in Atlanta for 15 years and I consider this place a total hidden gem if you are a true coffee lover. They have fresh beans for just about any kind of coffee you could dream of and you can have single cups or espresso or mixed brews- it's like the baskin robbins of good coffee! It's like that where you just can't make up your mind cause they all sound good. One of my favorites is southern pecan. You can tell it is a home cooked operation, not nearly as efficient as starbucks, for example, but feels much more like a hideaway from the grind too! With so many great places to eat in Toco Hills, this is a great post-lunch-pick-me-up stop.

Awesome! Best coffee I've ever tasted. Wide selection of beans and a great staff. A must in the North Atlanta area.
