Known for their riverside location at Walton on the Chattahoochee, Chattahoochee Coffee Company also has an in-town location at Walton Westside right behind Westside Provisions District (WSPD). You can park for free at WSPD and take a set of stairs up to the coffee shop. You can also park for free inside Walton's deck.
I used to be a regular at the original riverside location years ago: https://www.yelp.com/biz/chattahoochee-coffee-company-atlanta-8. Its view/setting is still unparalleled when it comes to Atlanta cafes today. This location opened in 2015 and is the company's second store. They opened a third store, also on the Chattahoochee but west of Atlanta, in 2020. So far, every location has been part of an apartment complex.
My wife visited this location many times with her classmates when she was in medical school. They would study here. We visited on a Saturday around noon and this place was busy. Most seats were taken. I estimate the interior capacity to be about 40. The apartment has a spacious string-lit covered gravel patio, with seating for about 40 more, right outside the shop. The interior design is a mix of rustic, loft, and homey cabin with high ceilings, exposed duct and brickwork, tables and chairs made out of what looks like reclaimed wood, some soft seating (e.g sofa), and - the most interesting part to me - mounted animal heads/horns and other game hunting trophies. Overall, it's got a relaxed, warm atmosphere and it seems like a comfortable place to work. Many customers had their laptops out and looked settled in.
The cafe uses the Walton apartment community's Wi-Fi. It wasn't working well for us, maybe because there were so many people. I'm not sure how fast the internet connection typically is.
Chattahoochee Coffee Company serves Counter Culture Coffee (based in Durham, NC) and Rishi Tea (based in Milwaukee, WI). During our visit, they had seven types of coffee (drip, brew, espresso) and 10 types of loose-leaf tea. Most drinks started at $3.00-4.50 each. They offered pour overs, French press, cold brew, and non-caffeinated options like hot cocoa and fruit smoothies too. They also served food -- hand pies, quiche, assorted pastries, granola, and other snacks. Grab-and-go items I saw included bagels, muffins, turnovers, and cookies plus gluten-free products (e.g. brownies). Additionally, they had merchandise for sale. Things like French press coffee makers and tea kettles.
My wife and I got lattes made with Counter Culture's Hologram espresso blend. The menu described Hologram as "fruity, milk chocolate, syrup." I got a large 12 oz for $5.00 and my wife got a small 8 oz for $5.25. Hers cost more because she asked for almond milk instead of whole milk. They use whole milk from Mountain Fresh Creamery (based in Clermont, GA). Yum. I got a vanilla latte and my wife got a chocolate latte. I preferred the vanilla latte over the chocolate latte. It was noticeably sweeter (I prefer sweeter, creamier coffee drinks). I enjoyed both lattes and thought they were good though standard and par for the course; not significantly more enjoyable than the Nespresso drinks I make at home.
Service was fine. Steven was our server and he was friendly. The business uses ShopKeep (iPad) to process payments.
TL;DR - Good, but not outstanding, coffee shop. Serves its purpose. Wi-Fi should be better.
