What a neat little coffee shop in the south Smyrna area! Any time I want to go to a cool local coffee shop, I always feel like I have to go towards town so it's really nice to have a new local spot closer to home.
It's located on the right side of the large Publix shopping complex (at the corner of South Cobb Drive and East West Connector) so there is ample parking. When you walk in, you're greeting with a quaint little interior with probably 6 tables, a few high tops, and a little lounge area; it's not a large place but there is enough seating for a typical morning. They even have a cute little kids table with coloring pages/crayons to keep your little one busy while you enjoy your coffee/pastry.
I'm not much of a mixed coffee drink person, I just like a good ol' cup of old fashioned black coffee so I got their large drip coffee....for less than $3!!! You can't even get a medium coffee at Dunkin' for $3 so the prices are really fair and affordable in comparison to a lot of the craft coffee shops around town that charge $5 or more for a cup of coffee. Flavor wise, it's a nice light to medium roast without the gross burned bean taste that *ahem* Starbucks has.
To round out the experience, I wanted to order a food item off their menu (which is small, but mighty with a variety of pastries, sandwiches, etc) and per the servers recommendation, I ordered the Pastel de Espinica (she said it's a pastry filled with spinach, cream cheese, and herbs) and it was so good! It reminded me of a spanakopitia in a way... It has a very light flaky crust with a creamy spinach filling. 10/10 recommend.
Make sure you come check this place out if you're in the area, way better than the chain coffee shops we've all had to go to before this place opened up.
