It's wonderful to see Black-owned businesses thriving in the community. I found the prices to be reasonable, comparable to Starbucks. The flavor of the coffee was outstanding. Additionally, I bought a blueberry muffin that was amazing in terms of taste and texture. There's ample parking, and the staff is very friendly. They also provide a military discount. The atmosphere is perfect for reading or studying.

My new go-to coffee spot. I’ve been to Black Coffee Co. 3 or 4 times now. Each time is exactly the same: excellent service, great atmosphere, and delicious coffee. Truly, everything you could want in a coffee spot and more. As for the location, there is ample parking. If you are looking for a great spot to grab coffee and a nice meal, here is your spot. Bonus points, they are actively engaged in community development with tabling from local businesses, hosting community events, and just allowing a space for people to commune.

Hello World, I’ve left a review before about Black Coffee’s delicious coffee and specialty drinks. After visit 20, I’ve finally tried their brunch. The Extra Bagel and Bougie - superb🥹. The Vibe per usual is always warming and joyful. Black Coffee proves coffee is community. Reference to locations in Lakewood - Atlanta and Morehouse.

I was around the area in dire need of coffee, and this place was the closest! I love the vibes here. There’s several chairs, tables, and sofas with some outlets along the wall especially at the counter seating. There is plenty of parking at the Ali Lakewood Plaza. This place definitely seems homey and community like. They greeted us immediately upon entering and called us by our names. Because it was the weekend, we got to see them hosting junior chess classes. They have a bunch of promoting flyers up and events nearby which I think is cool. Menu is fairly diverse and I love their speciality drink names lol. I got the light skin tiesha and the dirty south. The coffee ison pricier end with a large being anywhere from $8-11, but they both tasted delicious so I ain't mad. It would be a different story if the coffee was expensive and not bussing. We also got an extra boujee bagel $10, which was delicious including the bread and toppings. Overall, I am so glad to have found this place on Google Maps and stopped by. Their food, drinks, and service are superb. It's a pretty nice studying cafe too, but it was bit cold when I went so make sure you bring a jacket just in case. They had an adorably decorated cup sleeve too!

2025 0108 170156 From Walmart near Atlanta, Hartsfield International Airport, To Black Coffee Shop. Amazing place. Some are too scared to try. Not sure why. Probably never tasted the "Dirty South" before. I think. ;) P.S. I love books and coffee. Books for today, "Revenge from That librarian with affection and generosity." Featuring, "Lucky Loser." 5 Stars. P. S. East of Atlanta. Song from Kamala Cacello. Savannah. ?

I love small business, I love 💕 good coffee, and I love good vibes. Black coffee Atlanta checked all my boxes as soon as I walked in the door. The barista, cashier, and the owner were so nice and provided great conversation. It was suggested that I get “ Light skin Keisha” latte and it was a win. Not too sweet and I could taste the notes of the espresso. I ordered the “Andre” tea for my son who is a picky eater. He said that it was “ really good” tea. My dad’s has the “ Killer Mike” and he said it was good and gave him the energy he needed. Atmosphere has cool and chill vibe that entices you to take seat and chill for awhile. Definitely a must stop when traveling to ATL. This was my first stop when I arrived in ATL and it was great introduction.

Every time I have come here since last year the service, the food, the coffee, has been excellent. The atmosphere is full of positivity and love. They bring your order to you and make sure that you have everything you need to have a great experience. Lots of seating and the music creates a cool ambiance for you to get some work done or just to relax and enjoy the vibe.

I absolutely love this coffee shop! I have been to other coffee shops around Atlanta, and yes they were nice as well. However, I believe this coffee shop stands out above the rest for several reasons to include: -All staff is always upbeat and very nice -Drinks and food on point, to include reasonable prices -Atmosphere is inviting for everyone from all backgrounds -Coffee shop is clean, spacious, and has nice decor -Parking is very convenient -Dope music I’m happy they have extended their hours as well!

One of the best coffee spots in ATLANTA. Customer service was A1. I enjoyed talking with the people while sipping my coffee. Great experience!!!!!!!

Let me start by saying Black Coffee in Atlanta is EVERYTHING. From the moment I walked in, the energy was unmatched, and I could tell the owners are passionate about what they do. They're not just serving coffee--they're serving vibes. You know those places where the owners treat you like family? This is it. The service was on point--friendly, welcoming, and made me feel like I was sipping coffee in their living room (if their living room had this much style!). Now, let's talk food and drinks. I went for the Light Skin Keisha coffee (how fun is that name?!) and the avocado toast. Let me tell you, both were DELICIOUS. The coffee was smooth, perfectly brewed, and had me feeling like I could take on the world. The avocado toast? Chefs kiss. Perfectly seasoned, with just the right balance of flavor and texture--honestly, I could eat it every day. If you're in Atlanta, do yourself a favor and swing by Black Coffee. The owners are top-notch, the service is incredible, and the food and drinks will have you coming back for more. This spot is a vibe, y'all!

I got "Gas" (Double Espresso) and "The Marathon" (Pour over) Good quality espresso, not overly acidic or bitter with a nice layer of creama on the top. Slight burnt taste so possibly not perfectly dialed in but I would get it again if I was in the area. They mentioned they switch beans out regularly so I'd come back again to see what other blends they use for Espresso. I'm newer to pour over but the Ethiopian beans they used made a great cup. It was smooth and seemed well balanced.

Aaaaamazing!! I attended the Brews and Booze event and it DID NOT disappoint!! The vibe, energy, and of course coffee cocktails were incredible! I love that it was more than just a tasting! It was a true educational experience!! The bartender, Sarah, made incredible drinks. The signature drink, The Morning After was a true winner and that Irish Coffee was the best I've ever tasted!! I especially loved that the coffee was amazing and it's BLACK OWNED! I'm a true fan!! Anxiously awaiting the next event!!

If you know me you know coffee and black business are two of my favorite things. I've been plotting on visiting this coffee shop for ever, when I found out it was 15 mins from my house I had to stop by this past weekend. And I think I found my new favorite coffee shop in the city. The feeling of community was impeccable. It had small coffee shop vibes and like the baristas/business owners make it a personal goal to greet and get to know everyone. The names of the different items on the menu were so unique and on brand. I had the Brown Skin Girl latte and I could not stop saying "mmmmmm" with every sip. I'll be back to try the Light Skin Keisha next. I highly recommend, for folks who love coffee.

This place is a breath of fresh air literally just because of all the greenery and I absolutely love that! Plants everywhere!! Mixed that in with an ice coffee... I didn't want to leave It's definitely a vibe people were there ordering and socializing it was awesome! Parking can be a little limited depending on when you go. I arrived around 11:30am for another event but as soon as I pulled in I was like I'm going there for coffee! I had to! Anyhoo I was able to park easy but once I left my previous event the parking lot was packed. I just walked right next door and when I went to the counter and stated it was my first time there I immediately received a warm welcome. I placed my order which was an ice coffee I kinda hung out and admired the atmosphere. I will definitely be back soon! Check out my pic and until next time SYOY!

Nice vibe to come and have coffee and conversation with others, read, do some work on your laptop or just get out. Had the cheesecake cappuccino. Nice staff and quick ordering. Loved seeing young people there in chess lessons and on their laptops. They also offer light food items. Parking is free but the lot can fill fast based on how many people are at other establishments in the plaza.

Food: My hubby and I tried the No Cap (Cappuccino) and the Love Below. Both were exceptional. I should've added caramel to my No cap, but that's my fault. I loved it anyway.. Sevice: The device here exceptional! No cap! You get it! Everyone was so nice and helpful. I'm definitely coming back. Ambiance: I love it here! It's just an awesome place for us to hang out and be with like minded people!

Free parking!!! Plenty of parking available!!! I love your space. Everyone on your staff is so friendly and courteous. The Cash Money Matcha with cinnamon has become my favorite drink. I was always hesitant to try Matcha, but now I love it. The blueberry muffin warmed is also amazing. Thank you for hosting an Election Day watch party in a safe space. I appreciate the owner, Erin, for taking my pictures with my drink in front of the VP Harris picture on the door. You won't go wrong with checking The Black Coffee out.

A must visit in town. Not only is the whole place a vibe? But the drinks are amazing. They are well made taste fresh with even fresh ingredients (they make homemade lavender!) and they put love into it! The staff is ridiculously friendly and put care into expensive! My bagel was one of the best lox ones I've had! It's my new go to when I'm town

Been meaning to check this place out for a while. It was popping on the Sunday morning I came and the vibes inside were good. Despite the unassuming plaza and location of this shop, the inside feels like a nice living room and good place to hang or do work. The coffee here is quality and pastries are tasty. I tried a pour over with their Guatemalan beans (even though they were featuring an Ethiopian but wasn't as interested in that flavor profile). It was solid, but it was also over $10 which is probably the most I've paid in Atlanta ever for a pour over (standard size cup). They also sell their own bags of the beans to go and have a strong local, community presence which I like. Baristas were friendly and overall it was good. I'd come back for sure.

Great coffee and even better conversation with the barista! Plus free parking is a bonus.

I love coffee, so I am always looking for a new coffee shop to try. A search on Yelp produced this place, so we had to check it out. It's a really cute shop. They were filming a reality show when we stopped by lol. Might be on tv, anyhoo, my daughter got the Light Skin Keisha and I got a drink called Brown Skin Girl, both were iced and they were amazing. My drink had caramel and cinnamon in it, it was sooo good. We also had this red velvet cream cheese muffin. It was delicious as well. Very moist. It's a cute shop, I will return when I'm in the area.

Christiana A.

Yelp
Love this place! This should be your new favorite coffee shop! The ambiance is a vibe with the friendly staff, the hanging plants, and the great music! The logistics: easy parking in the jointly shared lot, outdoor seating available, ample workspace (or chilling out space)! The pros: friendly staff, comfy seating (and a range--high tops, soft chairs, chairs at long tables), creative food and coffee/tea choices The cons: the prices are a little high; a lot of the coffees are very sweet Overall: Come visit sooner than later!

Great vibes and great coffee. I'm not a fan of kitchens being in the middle of the restaurant because you leave smelling like everything that was cooked, it still is a dope spot.

First time in. Already feel at home! I'm just visiting ATL but I will be back before I head home.

First off, this place has a whole vibe. It will hit you soon as you walk in the door. Coffee, Tea, Food, Chill Tunes, Literature, Swag. I found out this used to be a church & we were treated soon as we opened & you'd think the staff knew everyone in the place because of how warm & inviting they are. The owners are the five Fellas in the black & white pic. They roast their own beans which is awesome & we bought a bag. I saw mixed generations enjoying pleasant conversations & several pick-up orders. You can literally sit down & melt away while chilling & sipping on your beverage of choice. I went with the Brown Skin Girl hot with oat milk which was delicious. Not too sweet but sweet enough. I was offered at least 4 different milk options which was awesome. My spouse got the drip which he described as smooth & bold. I like cream in my coffee but he takes his black which he told the Barista is like his Wife black & bold. I can see having a meeting here or coming to work with a laptop or a good book, or just enjoying a beverage a bite & enjoying the vibe. It was freezing out but it was nice & warm inside. We were checked on after receiving our beverages to make sure everything was good. We will definitely be back. My spouse said he found this place but Googling coffee shops & I'm glad he did!

Love this place! It's such a splurge but it's well worth it! I love the fact that it is black owned, the vibe is always great from the people, to the music and just overall ambience. The staff is the absolute best. It's quiet enough to get some work done for a few hours as well. I LOVE the ATL, I drive out of my way to get it. It's their version of avocado toast and it's delicious! 10/10 every time.

Finally got the chance to stop in! Great little café with the perfect selection of foods & drinks. Very popular with the locals & in touch with the pulse of the city. I was greeted with a Good Morning by the staff so I felt like I was in a good spot. They also had a great pop up, Natalie's Sweets & Treats, with samples of tasty desserts. My coffee was delicious! It reminds me of something only served in the fall by other shops. The toast was great too! Not too overloaded or crunchy. Looking forward to coming again!

This was a hidden gem in Atlanta. This coffee shop is black owned and the workers were so personable and down to earth. My drink was the Big Latto iced with cheesecake and vanilla flavor with oat milk. YUM!! I'll definitely spreading word.

So the hubs and I were looking for a nice laid back coffee shop to get some work done. We tried The Black Coffee and couldn't be happier! Great parking, the ambiance is tranquil with lots of plants, and the coffee is high quality. Each item has a customized name that's culturally relevant, which I love. Also, the baristas were kind, helped us figure out a drink that fits our taste and were overall pleasant. Looking forward to spending more time here!

42 minutes waiting for them to brew coffee. Great ambiance, but cannot attest to the quality of drinks. Service could have been better communicated.

Im from Arizona and was ecstatic to locate this black owned coffee shop!!! To offer plant based milk alternatives was thee best. Thank you to staff who were friendly and very helpful as our 1st visit. I ordered light skinned Keisha w/ oat milk hot. My sister went for brown skin girl iced. Grabbed us a few collectibles supporting other entrepreneurs w/i their shop. Thank you to the owners for being present and capturing a few selfies with me and my sis.

Every time I visit Black Coffee, I enjoy myself. The last time I went, there was a group of boys playing chess and it was the cutest thing. I like that there's parking and that the staff are kind. I've ordered both coffee and tea here; both are superb. I've also brought friends! I can't speak to how WFH friendly it is, because people will be talking. If background noises don't bother you, I'd say to give it a try!

Jill M.

Yelp
Great atmosphere. Once again, I got good vibes walking in. The two young ladies who serve me are always lively and nice to be around. My favorite light skinned coffee is delicious. I believe it's a lavender honey beverage that I think about randomly on any given day.it's a great place to go. Chill, read a book surf on your phone and enjoy really good coffee. So glad that I moved to the neighborhood and have this place to visit.

I came here on a Sunday morning and I'm glad I did this place has such a great energy and vibe. The aesthetic is amazing it gives community & authenticity. I was greeting immediately when I walked in. I sat and waited and drank my coffee while I waited for my brunch reservations and it was such a great environment to just sit and chill in. The music was playing at a good tempo and who doesn't love walking into Music soul child. Coffee: I got a regular sized light skin Keisha iced with oatmeal. I am a coffee lover and this coffee had a perfect balance of flavor. I'm not typically a vanilla girl I saw a lot of ppl on tik tok referring it and glad I tried it. They do have wifi just ask the barista but my phone didn't have service with or without the wifi. But it made me be present so o didn't mind.

Good Morning Beautiful Black People - Happy FriYay! Today has started off great, and I just wanted to share how simply beautiful this Scorpio Season Eve has begun. I'm really committed to not only checking out local spots in my neighborhood and area but, most importantly, supporting my black-owned businesses. So yesterday, I Googled local black-owned coffee shops near me, and two came up that I had decided to try--Common Grounds and Black Coffee. I pass both of these establishments at least once a week, and so today, when I awoke at 6:30, I decided that Black Coffee would be it. When I walked through the door, I immediately got that Love Jones, I can come in here and work on MY business - writing, vlog editing, reading, or even, dare I say it - have a coffee date. It was a whole damn VIBE that I haven't felt entering an establishment in a while. As soon as I walked through the door as the second patron of the day, I was greeted cheerfully and asked if it was my first time. When I said yes, the young sister immediately began to tell me about their menu items, and her vigor in how excited she sounded was indeed a breath of fresh air, especially coming from a young person. Again, as she spoke and I looked around, the vibe was a GOOD intoxicating. The menu items and names are DOPE AF and reminded me of when we went to Youngbloods to eat in the Rio Mall. The naming of items after black celebrities, such as the Light Skinned Keisha cup of coffee, had me grinning like I'd just opened my gift as a child and found a black Barbie inside. I ordered the EXTRA BOUJEE Bagel, and bayyyyybeeeee......my palate did a triple somersault with a tuck and roll as my tongue slapped five with the roof of my mouth! Fresh cream cheese, fresh thinly sliced salmon lox, arugula, onions, and tomatoes.....baby, it took everything out of me not to inhale it all in less than a minute from the moment I took the first bite. And the Light Skinned Keisha with Oat Milk.... baby, I'm from Zone 5, Wheat Street Gardens, but raised in Decatur - I ain't ever had Honey and LAVENDER in coffee. Lavender goes in bath salts and essential oil...not coffee, but that LSK did what it was supposed to do and then some! These folks had me buying coffee mugs (I collect them) and an insulated travel mug (Gotta support that black business) But the cream cheese icing with fresh cracked pecans was my meeting this dope sister from New York who sat down and struck up a conversation with me, and we ran out of mouths for over an hour. We talked heavily about politics and the elections as she is in Georgia helping to rally the votes in small rural towns like Sparta, Green County, Madison, Washington ......etc. She and I conversation ran from politics to our heritage ( Did I tell you all I am 34% Nigerian), to family roots and background, raising kids, loving the shyt out of black men, zodiac signs, and why Pisces are some beguiling lying great lovers, to family secrets. Child, I found my new WFH spot, but I need to do some Instacart because these folks gonna get all my money. Common Grounds is next. Oh, and don't forget to follow my YouTube; Being Chloe Barksdale. . Love ya, BYeeeeeeeee

Located in a small plaza in the Lakewood area. Parking is free. I ordered the young cheesy (grilled cheese) and iced The Auntie (vanilla chai tea). Today I had my drink made with almond milk. When I first arrived it was pretty crowded but eventually cleared out. I did not have any trouble getting a table. Today I decided to bring my laptop and do a little work. My order was brought out to me once it was ready. This is the best vanilla chai I've ever had, the flavors are blended so well together and overall it's just a very smooth beverage. The grilled cheese was also very good, bread was buttery. They have outlets available and free wifi. Definitely a great place to work. Bomb playlist and music is not too loud. I would definitely recommend this location.

Drove by this quaint coffee shop and decided to stop in. It is tucked with an historic Lakewood Heights building and the vibe inside is quiet and welcoming. The staff inside was very open to help guide us through their menu. My wife got the Bless your Heart Chai which she loved. I got the Ethiopian pour over "The Marathon" which was very good just black. Had great fruit notes in the nose and smooth finish. I usually don't take my coffee black, but decided to venture into new territory with this cup and was pleasantly surprised. To eat we shared an "ATL" avocado toast with tomato and arugula. We got it all the way with egg and smoke salmon and egg over medium. It was amazing!!!!! The owners Eryn and Jamon really make their vision for the shop felt. "When you are here, you are home"!

This is my second time visiting ATL. And also my second time visiting this coffee shop. The drinks are delicious I got their chai latte with vanilla and it was so delicious. Walking in the team was so inviting I was greeted within a few seconds of stepping in the door. I came back three days in a row just because I love the coffee, the service and the ambiance. I just love everything about this place. I will be coming back again whenever I'm in town. Keep it going Black coffee

Drinks are delicious. The staff is amazing. The music is always excellent. It's an awesome place to catch up with friends or WFH. I really enjoy the Cash Money Matcha and the Light skin Keisha.

When you enter The Black Coffee it's an instant vibe! My wife and I visited on a Saturday morning and were greeted by the staff and a local vendor. The theme of community was evident at the door. Then there's the menu! It's definitely one for the culture! The drinks are named with the spirit of Black culture and the quality is outstanding. There's style AND substance. We both ordered the Light Skin Keisha, mine hot and hers iced, they were both delicious!

The salmon grilled cheese is ok. But the muffins are great. The matcha was really good and not powder. I do like the other milk options not many places have it

Another black opened coffee spot, another vibe. Let's get into it. Location and Parking The Black Coffee is located at The Ali at Lakewood, among other Black owned shops. Parking is plentiful and free. Venue and Atmosphere The shop is very "earthy" feeling. The furniture is neutral color and there are plants everywhere. The coffee bar is in the middle of the room and merchandise is on the right. There are plenty of tables for working or socializing. The soundtrack is full of R&B hits and classic melodies. FYI they do use incense if you're sensitive to that. Food and Beverages I had the Dirty south, which wasn't too sweet (the way I like it). I also had the xtra bougie with an added egg. It was delicious and filling enough to be a full meal. Service The woman taking my order (I didn't catch her name) was very friendly and provided dink suggestions. Verdict I'll be back!

A new favorite! I'm so glad that my wonderful intern and friend, Jamesa, mentioned Black Coffee to me in conversation which ultimately led to us coworking there. Located in East Atlanta, Black Coffee is nestled into a cozy plaza that offers tons of parking for all the guests that may pass through. When I arrived on a weekday around 10am the coffee shop was already buzzing. The exterior made a great first impression as the Andre 3000 drawing and the cute seating caught my eye right away. When I entered, there were already a few guests inside, sipping on their drinks and tapping away at their keyboards. I was in desperate need of some caffeine and took some time to review the menu before rushing in. The menu offered drinks with ATL-centered names such as "the love below" and "light skin Keisha", lol. Iconic. I started with the love below and, wow. It wasn't too sweet, but I still tasted the coffee and it was a great temp. I was trying to pace myself as I chugged it! I arrived earlier than planned so I didn't want to eat a full breakfast yet and decided to try their red velvet cheesecake muffin. Not always a sweets girly but when things catch my eye, I go for it and I like a cheesecake-ish dish. It was SO good. Later on, I ended up getting their ATL avocado toast with egg and it was delicious, and massive. When I first arrived, they even passed out lavender cold brew shots! (Which were delicious and then I was afraid that I wouldn't sleep that night lol) The overall vibe of Black Coffee is so smooth, the music wasn't too loud and although folks were talking, it wasn't ever disturbing. It was beautifully decorated with a number of tables and seating options, free wifi and electrical ports all over, making it great for remote work. The team is also amazing!! We had the pleasure of meeting Ayron & Jaymin, 2 of the owners who were actually behind the counter working and being wonderful. It was great to hear their story and their commitment to community. Definitely found a new favorite coffee shop and remote workplace!

Patient & kind customer service a definite PLUS! Black owned, clean & friendly. Stopped in after visiting Love at 1st Bite and it was such a great rebound ! I ordered a HOT Light Skin Keisha (Latte + Honey + Lavender + Vanilla), an iced Brown Skin Keisha (Macchiato + Caramel + Cinnamon Brown Sugar). Light skin Keish was my favorite between the 2. I also bought fresh coffee beans Guatemala & Ethiopian beans which tasted great!!!

Jennifer L.

Visiting from New York and decided to stop by for a quick drink. I love caramel and cinnamon, so I had to order the "brown skin girl" and OMG it was deeelicious!!! My friend got the matcha latte and said "you can tell it was made with love!!" The customer service was great, everyone was so friendly and sweet.. the whole place was just a vibe !! Would def come back!!

Warm friendly people with an amazing atmosphere! My banana nut muffin was delicious, and my special request for a pumpkin spice latte was made with no issues. The people at The Black Coffee were overall amazing!!

Scot W.

I spent almost two hours here one morning while in Atlanta for a work trip. I had a double espresso and a pour over coffee from Peru. Both were really good. But more impressive, and more important, than the coffee was the great overall atmosphere of the spot. Staff was very friendly and took the time to learn and remember the names of everyone who visits the shop, whether they are a regular or an out-of-towner like me. The music playing was relaxed, but also loud enough to drown out other customers' conversations. There were a number of different seating areas and styles, including club chairs, tables with more "dining style" chairs, and a bar area for folks looking to do some reading or get some work done. A really enjoyable experience that I'll remember next time I'm in town.

Lashaunda W.

I had "The Love Below" (Caramel Macchiato) and the Extra Boujee bagel (toasted bagel, cream cheese, salmon, arugula, and tomatoes sprinkled with everything bagel seasoning. The coffee is a little expensive but tastes great. The sandwich and service were excellent. Overall, I liked the vibe and had a pleasant experience.

Went for mid-week breakfast Pros: Ample free Parking Staff was super nice Laid back quiet vibe perfect for studying or working You can get their teas sweetened with honey or agave Avocado Toast was DELICIOUS Cons: Short staffed-only 2 people working (1 making orders and the other taking it) Overpriced for some items - while the coffee had a cute and funny name, it wasn't anything special as far as taste. And considering it was $7 for a regular, it was a miss. The sweet tea was EXTREMELY sweet. She was quite heavy handed with the honey (most of which settled to the bottom of the cup but still had the whole drink super sweet even without stirring). We got one sweetened with agave and it was also very sweet. I love sweet tea but it was too much. Took it home to add water. Also the bagel w/cream cheese and the grilled cheese was just regular (nothing fancy; something you could make at home). Four people: 1 plain bagel w/cream cheese, 1 grilled cheese sandwich, 2 avocado toasts, 3 regular sized teas and 1 regular sized coffee was close to $100. Took an hour to get all of our food *I will say because of the ambiance and friendly staff alone, if you're looking to patronize a black owned coffeehouse and aren't pressed for time (and you're not on a budget), this is a good option.*

I really enjoy the coffee here. The Brazilian whole ground beans are typically what I keep in stock at the house. I love how flagrant and strong this coffee is. It allows me to be alert and maintain focus on a day to day basis. I live a ways from the shop so I typically take advantage of their specials advertised on the subscriber emails. However, when I do go into the store I always love the atmosphere and speaking with the staff. The names of the coffees are cute and quirky. The only food item I had was an apple fritter and it was quite fresh. I really enjoy this coffee company. Please try it out if you are in the area, and if you're not consider the shipping options!

We stopped by here to get coffee and I picked up Cold World (cold brew & lavender). I loved it!

When we walked in it was pretty busy so we had trouble finding the line at first, which is NOT a bad thing. Busy means should be good, and it definitely was. The staff was super friendly. There were a couple local merchants with tables selling items inside, which made for a great environment. Love seeing local supporting local! Our drinks flavors were on point. Nothing too sweet and temperatures were perfect. Thanks for a great start to the day!

Coffee: Great Service: Ok Ambiance: Cool and cozy This place is located in the Lakewood neighborhood of Atlanta. It's a cozy black-owned coffee shop situated in a calm plaza with FREE PARKING. Once you walk in you're hit with a comforting vibe that was created to embrace Black culture. It's a nice place to bring your laptop and work or just chit chat with a friend over a delicious cup of coffee. Not only do they sell coffee but also their own personalized merchandise and items from other Black vendors. I got an iced Light Skinned Keisha with oat milk and it did not disappoint. (Yes, they have non-dairy milk options! How clutch?!) It was perfectly blended with the right amount of sweetness. I was a bit skeptical about lavender and honey in coffee but this was a refreshing treat. This coffee shop is worth a trip through Lakewood to grab a cup on the go or stay for a relaxing work session with comfortable seating. This place is great in all areas except the service. The attendants at the shop are very welcoming and pleasant, but can be a bit delayed with service. It seems as though they are implementing new processes and are still working out the kinks, which slows down efficiency and accuracy with orders.
