Cultivate Food and Coffee at The Battery

This place has completely transformed under new management! I came for brunch with friends and ended up staying until 11 PM because the atmosphere was just that good. The food was outstanding, with an extensive menu offering plenty of delicious options. My favorite part? The incredible drinks! The bartender was not only skilled but also super friendly, ensuring we got our drinks quickly. Plus, the new management made a point to personally greet our table—and many others—which added a thoughtful, personal touch to the experience. I’ll definitely be back!

This was my first time going to this location after finding out the other one is closed permanently. I had the vegan hash which was delicious and toast and a hot Raw Matcha Latte with coconut milk. It was all good and I enjoyed spending time with my family and friend.

I had an amazing experience at Cultivate at The Battery! I can definitely tell there's been a shift in management since my last visit, and it's made a huge difference. Ordered their oat latte. The latte was perfectly brewed - smooth, rich, and just the right balance of strength and flavor. I also tried the cultivate chicken biscuit, and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was perfectly seasoned. The atmosphere felt refreshed, and the staff was friendly and attentive. It's clear they're putting a lot of effort into improving the guest experience. I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu! Spoke with one of the managers and they said they are looking to add to the vegan options, I’m SUPER excited about that! Hard to find food vegan options in Atlanta. Highly recommend!

Thanks Edwin for being a great server! 💕 I thoroughly enjoyed Cultivate this past weekend in Atlanta. All orders on the table weren’t mine. However, the goat cheese bites were & are full and VERY tasty! I was not expecting it to be so much cheese inside. Definitely a shareable option. I also had the chicken salad sandwich and stole my friend’s avocado to add to it. (I didn’t want to pay for it lol) The blue lavender latte drink wasn’t as sweet as I had thought it would be, however, it was so refreshing and the lavender’s calming affect was evident- as my ADHD had me zipping around all morning prior. It was crowded but seating for 2 people was easy to obtain. The freshness in the flavors were riveting. I’ll be back in town to try the avocado toast soon! My bill was barely $30 😋

This breakfast spot was amazing. The avocado toast was to die for!! I would recommend anyone coming here with friends or even a solo date. The vibes in this restaurant should be studied you will not have a bad time here I promise you. My server was Kobe and once in a while another server I believe her name was Precious, would stop by to check on me so sweet. That’s what I call teamwork.

My sister has been talking about this restaurant since they first went about a month ago. They said that the service was great and the food was amazing. We decided to try it today and it was genuinely one of the worst experiences we had. We wanted to get a quick lunch but ended up being there for over two hours. After our drink order was taken we didn’t see our server for another 40 minutes, so we had to flag another server down just to get our original server. The food came out maybe an hour later and then had to wait probably 20 minutes after we finished our food to get the checks after my friend had to flag her down again. The restaurant wasn’t super busy as there were many open tables but the service was still incredibly slow. We ended up being there so long that we went over the 2 hour free parking window at the battery and had to pay $10 for parking just to eat there.

We went to the Battery to try something new and decided to go to Cultivate. The name is catchy and I like the open concept. Talk about a delightful experience. The food & service was impeccable. We ordered the salad with grilled chicken and lots of other additions like 🍅s, 🥑s red onions, cucumbers & more. It was honestly the best salad I've had anywhere even overseas 🥗 The shrimp and grits were delicious. The wings are super delicious, the goat cheese croquettes with dipping sauceswere spectacular and the hot dogs 🌭 were fat and festive. The mixed drinks were delish. Our waitress was Cody. I adore her personality, her service and her enthusiasm. Cody made us laugh so hard and the owners made us feel like we were at home. This is definitely our new favorite wind down place when I want to chill during the week or even on the weekends. Thanks for everything Cultivate Team 😋 💯

Once again, my buddy wanted to go try the new kid on the block. This time it was Cultivates' new location in The Battery. I found it strange to be able walk into a breakfast place on Sunday at 10:45 am – could it be a clue? Cultivate’s huge dining area was basically empty. Hmmm. My friend ordered the dirty chai while I wanted something different and ordered the pomegranate green tea. I didn’t understand the puzzled face she made after sipping her "chai." That is until I tasted it. It was so strange; sort of like cinnamon in hot water. There was no other spice flavors nor creaminess of milk. She had made a big deal about ordering whole milk; she's mildly intolerant, but she didn’t have anything to worry about. I can honestly say that it was the worst chai I’ve ever had and includes the ones I make from tea bags at home. My “pomegranate” green tea wasn’t much better; it had no taste at all. Not a great start. I ordered the salmon hash and my friend ordered the steak hash. Initially, I thought this would make up the colored water they were passing off as tea, but I was wrong. Yes, the potatoes were crispy as promised. The egg was cooked – not over easy, but no runny whites at least. After the third bite I put down my fork and said, “I don’t want any more of this.” It wasn’t inedible, just not appetizing maybe because it was room temperature. I have a thing about serving food at the intended temp. I don’t think it’s too much to ask to serve my food hot. Unprompted, a few minutes later my friend said, “I don’t want to come back here again.” I think that says it all.

Food was great, had nice vegan options. It's hard to find vegan options in ATL and so I was sooo excited for them to open a location at THE BATTERY! Smyrna needed a spot with good vegan choices! Their vegan hash is my favorite for brunch. The potatoes are super crispy and flavorful. I think the portions were fair so I would definitely order again and possibly try the salmon hash next time. Not to mention their coffee was incredible! Had the honey oat iced shaken espresso drink and would return just to get that!! Service was good too, my server was very attentive and made sure I was okay. She made sure my food and drinks came out on time which I appreciated. I would definitely recommend this breakfast and brunch spot!

Overall, I will say this was our first time at the cultivate location in the battery as we were frequent fliers of the one on Howell Mill and loved it. I will say this location is slightly different in setup but is still seat yourself. I do like their expanded menu options. I will say service could be slightly improved but still was not poor. On to the food my meal was great and I highly recommend the French toast burger. I will say the coffee was good but wished they offered the same latte deal that they do at Howell Mill. With that said we will definitely be back at some point.

I was a long time fan of the Cultivate Kitchen concept. After visiting the location in the Battery today, I won't be back. I ordered the Chicken & Waffles, my Husband ordered the French Toast... everything was off. We each had a side of bacon, cooked half crispy half rubbery.. not good. Actually, in the south ya'll know better than that. The bacon was offensive. The waffle crumbled under my fork, tasted like dough. Not sweet, no crispy edges. Something in the batter composition was off. The french toast was gross and dry. No vanilla flavor at all. If there was vanilla, it was overpowered by the almond extract in the batter. The whole place was smoky, we left smelling like bacon. After waiting forever to get bad food, there was an automatic gratuity added for a party of 2. Never actually saw my check. Just paid the waitress on her handheld and left. Not worth the time or the $75 we spent for Breakfast, with rubbery bacon & lukewarm coffee.

Ordered at the counter, saw the automatic gratuity quietly get added to the bill before he flipped the tablet around. Asked for additional gratuity. A restaurant should NEVER be blindly adding a service / gratuity charge. Got an iced coffee which was pretty great. Also had the wagyu burger which was definitely just a frozen patty from the grocery store. If you come here, stick to the coffee and watch out for the hidden gratuity!

My first time dining at this location. It more like a cafeteria feel. They have a full bar with coffee and beer on tap. Good for groups with ample long tables for larger groups. We were sat immediately, the staff is polite. Some of the menu items are labeled GF but are not so make sure to check- they have not updated their menu. Our food came before our drinks but drinks arrived right after . The food looked good, was temp hot. My mocha chaga was a bit too sweet for me and my husbands golden latte was okay. The food was good. I have a thing about wait staff and phones... it's personal but cell phones carry a lot of germs and some of the wait staff are on their phones while working. A bit of a turn off for me but I also recognize it's a personal pet peeve. Other than that, there are other menu items I'd like to try so may be back!

I had a timmmmmmmeeee last night! (I'm still in the bed)...thanks to Cultivate! I THOUGHT I was going to slide through for a quick peep to check out this new restaurant I found on IG, was suppose to go to an another themed Christmas restaurant. (So much for my destination 2!) Seriously thanks...Iooking back at the footage we all had a ball w/the staff! When I say the FREE food ((((ribs, the shredded chicken, pork&beans ))))was hitting, OMG! Also, thank you for the gift card I won playing Xmas Bingo, the vibes from your hospitable staff, the bad ass DJ, the gorgeous young lady Shruti (from Paris) I chatted with ! It went from dining to LIT so much so, I got up out my seat to indulge in a few line dances. I love my yelp life in yelpatlanta We da best! It's the moments like this when you pop in a business & they just make your whole nite a hellAH VIBE!!!!! For this, I'll be back soon.

Came in here on Wednesday night with some girlfriends because we were intrigued about their $6 happy hour drinks and 1/3 of their menu was 30% off. There wasn't a lot of people sitting at the tables but the bar was pretty full. I feel like they only had one guy working which mwas interesting but he was pretty attentive maybe a little too attentive at times...kinda felt a little rushed to pay once we finished eating. We ended up ordering the lamb chops with Rosemary mash and Brussel sprouts and my friend ordered the seafood pasta. We also ordered the happy hour margaritas and my other friend ordered rum punch. So our margaritas were kinda gross and tasted like salt water because salt was on the rim. It would've been nice to have been asked if we wanted anything on the rim but they didn't. My lamb chops meal was pretty good but it could have had just a tad more salt? My friend said her pasta was pretty good but a bit too salty lol. Also there were flies inside so that was a bit annoying to constantly swat away the flies and there were also caked on flies on our water pitcher and water glasses. Overall the vibe inside is cool and they have pretty good music too. Not sure if I would rush back but maybe I should come for brunch because that menu seemed a bit better.

I really enjoyed the Howell Mill location and have visited the Battery location twice now. The service is pretty good, but the food is just okay.

My friend and I stopped by here during a braves game to grab a quick bite before the game. I went with the chicken sandwich which came with a side of fries for $13. While I was expecting a normal chicken sandwich, this one was actually quite delicious! I loved how the chicken was flattened and seasoned super well. It wasn't dry at all, and even though it was bigger than the bun, it wasn't that difficult to eat. I asked for a side of the avocado mayo which paired really well with the sandwich. The fries were crispy, but I do wish there was some seasoning for it. Overall, it's a cute addition to the Battery. They serve plenty of drinks and coffee and food as well. There is plenty of seating inside as well. Our food came out within 10minutes, and can't wait to come back and try some of their other food items when there isn't a game!

Here's is their version of a butter croissant: a smashed Kroger. Food was awful. Service just as bad (no utensils) ...and bathroom was a dump - no toilet paper , so they have us napkins. Let's go to Waffle House. Welcome to Georgia

The establishment was very inviting but the host was lack luster I believe her name was Diamond! The owner and manager had amazing customer service and did a great recovery after the host was going to allow my party if 4 to leave because she stated we could not place a food order. They definitely need better hostess that already understands what good customer service is. Not sure if I would go back because the menu was that's great and the glasses were brought to us dirty!

While in Smyrna/at The Battery with my girlfriends, we decided to get ourselves a little caffeine boost. I just went along with the plans, little did I know, Cultivate has this new location in The Battery! (How late am I? lol) I'm a big fan of the OG Cultivate Food and Coffee location where I love to enjoy breakfast and do some remote work, I was hyped when I realized that we were checking out their new location. This was a Saturday early afternoon and it was such a welcoming spot! Their doors were wide open and we could see clear into the restaurant on that beautiful sunny day. It seems to be bigger than the original location or perhaps it's just the layout, but it seemed extremely spacious and open in the same neutral design style. What differs about this location is the incredible bar and bar seating. I didn't go there for a drink, but in the future when I want one while in The Battery, it's good to know that Cultivate can offer a boost beyond the coffee beans. The restaurant was surprisingly empty when we arrived (never the case at the other location and I wish we didn't already have lunch plans!) but we still decided to take a seat at the bar since we were ordering coffee to go. A young man greeted us and gave us menus to look over upon entry. We all kept it simple with iced coffees of different varieties and all were made quickly, but with love. I went with a decaf, oat milk and a little flavor to kick it off, it was really the perfect pick-me-up for an afternoon on the go. As a super fan of the Cultivate brand, I'll definitely be returning for the full experience!

Very cute vibe. Food is decent. Plenty of seats. Would recommend. This place gets a little loud, so this isn't the place for focus working. More like casual working with a group.

Our first time coming here! They opened 3 weeks ago, and they will have their grand opening this Saturday. Pros: clean restaurant and we were seated immediately. Food and drinks came out fast! Food was excellent quality and had good portions. Cons: latte was a little weak per this coffee connoisseur. It definitely could use an extra shot of espresso. Overall, this is a great addition to The Battery! We have been missing a good brunch place and they have come through! Definitely check this place out.

Cute place with loads of potential. However, the service was terrible. Party of 2. Waited 30 minutes for a latte and a coffee while tables around us received theirs immediately. The kicker that made us leave- we ordered mimosas and were told we couldn't because of the time on a Sunday. Within 10 minutes, another table sat down and were served mimosas.

Upon receiving our appetizer, had to ask for plates and silverware. Although we were a part of three, were surcharged as a party of six or more and when questioned was told that's how they do it. Was charged 20% tip and then only shared the screen to add additional tip on top of the 20%. When questioned why the additional tip screen was removed.

Food great.... Salmon hash Croissant w bacon and egg Drink great... Chocolate frappe w whip Staff... On point with orders Price... Very reasonable for what we ordered The only negative is it's a slow wait for your to-go order. Being at the Batterty, management may need to beef up staff.

Our first time at the Battery location was nothing special. They have a game day menu where all the items are $15. 8 wings were listed on the menu. Our server offered us their "special" - wings, fries and beer for the $15. What they fail to mention is it's only 5 wings, not 8. Check out the picture of one of the 5 wings. The wings were subpar. Goldbergs are ten times better. Server was great. No bathrooms, says out of order but watched two of their kitchen staff go into them. Just not impressed with what could have been a great addition to the battery

We sat at the bar with Don P and he was a great bartender. Food, mimosas and blackberry basil mule were all great

I recently visited the cultivate in the battery and will not return. I ordered the vegan hash brown bowl. I typically don't send food back and eat what I can but I should've gone with my initial instinct and sent it back based on the look alone. The avocado that came with it was majority brown so I put that aside and the sliced tomatoes looked questionable too so I didn't eat those either. The only thing that I actually ate were the potatoes (because that's the only thing that looked edible) and my stomach has been aching/in pain since Sunday. Our server was great, however due to the pain I'm in now, I will never return. For future reference, please make sure the kitchen staff is cooking sanitarily.

Food is good,service.... Not so much. The couple of time I went, they seemed short staffed. Will go back because it's closer than Howell mill and I do like the food.

Eggs were cold, grits were scolding hot. Biscuit was burnt black too. Coffee was hot at least, but tasted really bitter. . It is also the first restaurant i have been to in 45 years of living in Georgia that does not have iced tea. The water was cold at least, but served in small glass and no refills. All 4 of us got different orders, and different specialty drinks, and each entree had one or more fatal flaw that was just due to a lack of care. It also took 20 mins to get the check Ambiance was great and it was neat and clean. Maybe staff was just having a bad day.

So good! The menu has so many options for all of our dietary restrictions. The vegan hash was so good it could have fooled us! Our server was absolutely lovely as well!

Smooth and friendly vibe with professional and personable staff Definitely a spot I'd come back to for coffee and a drink or later in the evening

The workers are great. The vibes were good because the olympics were on the tvs. The drinks are also refreshing as they have a lot of flavored tea/refresher options. I got a sriracha bacon egg and cheese on a croissant. The croissant was a bit dry but the rest of the sandwich was great. The sriracha bacon is more sweet than it is spicy, kind of a maple flavor. The waffle was great but came out cold. My friend made her own bowl which was a great portion size. Everything lacked flavor but it was a decent meal.

Great vegan brunch options! Good place to bring a group if there's different types of diets. Service is a little laid back and slow but food is always good.

Our service was very meh, nothing was seasoned well, some food we ordered was not delivered, and it was all overpriced -- that part I was anticipating though. It's too bad because Cultivate had the potential to be something special because of it's prime location and warm atmosphere, but instead it fell pretty flat. As a Cobb County resident and a lifelong Braves fan, I can confidently say there are much better food options within a baseball's throw of here in the Battery.

The service was amazing. I had a great beer and a great time while sitting at the bar. The calamari was terrible. It's Atlanta but still... it was overcooked and I couldn't even chew through it. Not a pleasant experience.
