Dancing Goats Midtown

Caribou and Starbucks type of place. The Italian espresso machine in the pics makes it seem more craft/hip than it is. Still predictable coffee, WiFi, and prices of a big box coffee chain Dance club music?

Very conveniently located at Midtown MARTA stop. Did have to wait but I figure other people must like their coffee so I didn't mind. They had 2 cash registers going so it went quick. I stopped at 7 30am on Tuesday, saw a lot of professionals. Several groups drank their coffee at the tables and were taking time to socialize. 80's Rock was playing, a little loud. Not my favorite but they didn't ask me to DJ ;). I would come back for the coffee if I am close to MidTown Atlanta.

I love the taste of their cold brew. I enjoyed the fruity acidic taste of the brew. I’ll come back next time to try their pour over

feel totally scammed by this place. I don’t usually leave reviews, but this experience deserves the extra effort. I used to live in Atlanta, and Dancing Goats was my go-to coffee shop. Back then, I had nothing but praise for their hot coffee selection - it was consistently great. So on a recent visit to the city, I decided to stop by my once-favorite spot and try something refreshing: an iced matcha latte. Worst decision ever. What I got was a pale green cup of what can only be described as dirt milk - gritty, chalky, with undissolved matcha clumps floating around and settled at the bottom. It tasted awful. And at $7.20 + tax + tip (one I now seriously regret), it was hands down the worst matcha latte I’ve ever had. To make matters worse, the pricing is outrageous - higher than what you’d pay at many coffee shops in Manhattan. That’s saying something. Honestly, if you’re craving a matcha latte, even Dunkin’ or Starbucks (while still being two worst options on the market) might at least serve you something semi-drinkable. They’re the fast-food of coffee, and still somehow manage to outdo Dancing Goats on this one. I’m genuinely disappointed, Dancing Goats. You used to be great, and now it feels like you’re just cashing in. Shame.

Not even a matcha fan, but the guava matcha latte? C’est trop bon. Light, and so refreshing — il faut goûter before it’s gone!

The cold brew here is on another level. Not sure how to describe it, but it just... tastes really good. I noticed it from the very first sip. You can also get it sparkling, which is cold brew concentrate + sparkling water. That version is very refreshing, but the coffee becomes harder to taste so I'm not sure if I prefer it. This shop has ample seating and outlets. Mix of people studying, working, and hanging out. I also saw more than a few people who seemed to be meeting for a job interview there, during the 3 days that I worked from this shop. The music got a little bit loud at times. The patio outside is very pleasant!

I recently starting going to the Dancing Goat coffee shop in midtown because I have to take a bus at Midtown for work. I love the product!! The coffee is amazing! But the staff is not friendly. They tend to look at you at the register as if your bothering them by walking up. I have had three encounters out of my 5 visits there which is kinda alot seeing that I'm a new customer. My most recent encounter was today 4/18/25. I told the gentleman that he forgot the whip cream on my coffee he looked at me as if I just cursed at him! He snatched the coffee back and added whip cream. He then slide the coffee to me and walked off. No my apologies or sorry for the mix up oh no he just went on Abt his day didn't even ask if there was anything else I needed. Long story short unfortunately today will be my last day coming and I hate it becus the coffee is so good but it's usually too early in the morning 🌅 to deal with someone else's attitude so I'll just stay at the train station for the sake of my own sanity.

Was in town for work so needed a spot to get some laptop work done. Excellent place to achieve this. As you can see it has several spots to set up camp(even has a patio) and plenty of tasty drinks to keep you going. Staff is not bad but just a tad slow but not enough to not come back.

The ube latte was very good! Very quick to serve and reasonably priced. The ambiance was also very pleasant on a Saturday morning, a good study spot if needed

I decided to try this place for the first time on March 9, 2025, at 1:05 PM, and I can confidently say it will also be my last. From the moment I walked in, the experience was disappointing. I said hello twice, and the young man taking my order--blonde, curly hair--completely ignored me. No greeting, no acknowledgment, just an immediate attitude of arrogance and indifference. When I placed my order, he was shockingly dismissive, passive-aggressive, and condescending. Instead of listening to what I was actually asking for, he acted like he knew better and refused to engage with any real understanding. I have ordered the same thing from countless other places without issue, but because he was too caught up in his own assumptions, I ended up with the wrong order. What made it worse was that another employee--a young woman making my coffee--actually tried to clarify what I wanted after overhearing our conversation. But instead of allowing her to confirm with me, he cut her off and arrogantly told her to just make it the way he said. Rather than cause a scene, I took my drink and left--only to find, as expected, it was completely wrong. I specifically asked for one-third milk, and rather than simply asking for clarification, he made up his own version and drowned my coffee in milk. The lack of basic courtesy and customer service here is appalling. If this is the type of experience you provide, I have no interest in ever returning. Businesses thrive on good service, and with employees like this, it's only a matter of time before you start losing customers.

This is my go to coffee and study place in midtown! The coffee is great and the staff is friendly too. The inside has plenty of sunlight and there is both indoor and outdoor seating. But seats might be taken sometimes from people staying to work there.

Was visiting for the weekend. Solid spot for a caffeine fix. The roast had a unique flavor profile, definitely not your average cup, which I appreciated. While it didn't blow me away, it got the job done and did it well. A reliable go-to if you're nearby and want something with character.

Busy coffee shop across the street from the Midtown MARTA station. A bit of a line on a Saturday morning but went by pretty quickly. They have coffee beans available but sadly I couldn't find one of the ones I wanted from their website. I ordered a matcha latte. I liked how they had simple syrup on the side for self service. The matcha latte was yummy and I have nothing bad to say about it!

Friendly service. Efficient flow and layout. Great morning atmosphere. However, one star comes off due to the neglected condiment station. The Half & Half was bad, ruining an otherwise excellent cup of coffee. I did taste the coffee before adding any cream and sugar. Full-bodied and great pallet coverage. Unfortunate for the condiment station, which also lacked sugar. The coffee is reasonably priced, less than other popular chains with superior taste.

The staff was extremely friendly. It was easy to get in and out of. We really love the fact that they offered our fur baby a pup cup. The coffee was really good and most of all they actually did my husband's sweet tea. Perfect! The sitting area both inside and outside were really nice even on a rainy day Definitely will have to visit again.

Great little pastries, delicious hot drinks, lovely and welcoming vibe in this smart and cozy midtown coffee spot. We walked here every morning from our nearby hotel and loved it.

The speed at which an espresso and a macchiato is made was poor. People who ordered after us received their drinks before us. All could be forgiven if the coffee was actually good. The coffee was too acidic (which just means I don't like the beans, so that's maybe not their fault), but they were also slightly overroasted. If you like working in indoor cafés, this is a good one. It's relatively quiet inside. The backyard outdoor space feels like what I imagine prison feels like and there's a staircase to exit that makes it not a fire hazard (so I guess not like prison after all). The staff were kind and warm. I'll likely never return because I like espresso too much to do that to my tastebuds again.

My new favorite coffee shop. I ordered a 16 oz hot Mocha. It was so good!! I could drink one of those every day! Employees were friendly and service was quick. There is metered parking right outside this location.

I saw this place had a La marzaco so it was worth the 20-minute drive from where I was staying at Atlanta airport. While this place really knows how to roast beans and that fantastic multi-group La marzaco, it's just a beautiful thing to see. I got a quad shot latte here about 4 days in a row and every time they didn't disappoint it was incredible. Great Baristas, fantastic roast! Thank you so much for saving my travel mornings. Although I cannot recommend the blueberry muffin, it kind of tasted like bleach to me, but I could be imagining it. Still a five star coffee experience. Thanks everyone!

Unique flavor of latte: Brown sugar rosemary was fine, not sure if I would order again but wasn't terrible. Coffee not as hot as I prefer. My husband said his vanilla latte with whole milk was good. Ambience is urban coffee shop with lots of sunlight from wall of windows. Service was friendly.

I wanted to try a coffee shop that was unique to the area and came across Dancing Goats Coffee. Interesting name! They have Atlanta-based mugs and thermos mugs for sale, as well as coffee products. The shop itself was nice and clean. I originally was looking at the location at Ponce City Market, but we were on our way to a Santa Paw's party at the dog park nearby on 10th, so we walked here instead. They don't allow dogs inside, so my friend waited outside while I ordered. There's a patio on the side and some seating at the front, but it was chilly and windy that day. I had the hazelnut latte with oat milk, and my friend had a vanilla latte with oat milk. I will say that their coffee is at a higher price point, and the milk substitute with cost a little over $1 compared to other coffee shops. The latte was good. Not as sweet but had a nice flavor. They also fill it to the rim, so be careful putting on the lid which you do yourself.

Stopped in for a quick latte and it didn't disappoint! It looks like this could be a great place to work from. The service was quick & we were in and out.

Visited on a Monday from out of town.Saw that dancing goats is a solid coffee spot on yelp. Walked all the way to the coffee house to find that its packed with college students cramming for a test, and smells like urine... Immediately walked out... not for me!

Wanted to get out of our hotel and this place is conveniently located in midtown. Easy to find, friendly staff and good coffee. I'd definitely go back if we're in this part of town again.

What a great spot! I really needed a pick me up! They had closed Peachtree for a pedestrian walk, which started at 11 and ended at 6. As I walked back, I searched for coffee and the "dancing goats" popped up. They have a small enclosed patio to the side of the main area, which has a number of chairs. Lots of studious looking people on their computers. I liked the circle bar area but just a little too cozy for me. So I got my coffee to go. I ordered the dark chocolate chip chilly goat since it was a signature drink. The friendly barista asked if I wanted whipped cream...Hells yeah! LOL! This was a delicious afternoon creation that hit the spot. They also have some chairs and tables out in front. I also bought some beans and they cheerfully ground them for me! This is a pretty cool place to come to!

I'm not a coffee kind of sore but I really love the way these people have taken their theme and worked it out! Not everyone knows about the crazy goats who first clued US humans into the magical properties of the coffee Bean, but here's a great place to learn that lesson. I'm not going to spill the beans though, come find out for yourself. By the way, they have some pretty tasty noshes and fine brew too.

Great neighborhood spot. Service was a bit slow at times but there is plenty of space to sit, relax, and charge up your devices while you wait. Coffee and bakery were solid!

Coffee was delicious. I ordered a Hot Honey Mocha. It had a hint of spice to it; don't know where it came from. The young female who worked the cash register was very pleasant. The young male barista was fast. Ample seating. There were people sitting inside either working or completing homework. There were people sitting outside enjoying the beautiful weather. I have try another beverage next time.

vibes - good (great for studying, working, getting stuff done, assuming you can nab one idea the seats. iced americano - mid. not impressed especially considering dancing goat has multiple locations? straw - too tall. see pic

I really enjoyed this Great space. My Americano was good. I will definitely go back. A true coffee house.

Delicious coffee and pastries in a great location! We enjoyed our lattes which were made very well and they went great with the tons of muffins and pastries we all tried.

The matcha latte here was delicious! I got mine iced but I kinda wish I'd have gotten hot because they are foam experts here The cashier was friendly & funny & the clientele was studious or hipster. They sell bagged coffee, teas and merch and we got bagged coffee, a box of tea, a matcha latte for $35 ish. Not sure how much each item was They give you a free iced or hot coffee when you buy a bag though so that's awesome! They also sell pastries from Alons which if you haven't tried, is a great place too They also validate parking in the deck next door which I wish we knew before we parked on the street! The coffee was rich and flavorful, nice nutty flavor, not too acidic. Would try again!

I came here to be a place to get work done before catching a flight, and it was a fantastic spot! The staff are so friendly and kind. They do not mind having customers that work remotely at their cafe, there is plenty of seating as well tables with outlets. The music is at a great level, quiet, not too loud to get in the way of thinking through a paper or work through a virtual meeting. I got the Cult Flower ice tea and it was delicious, perfect drink for a warm afternoon.

Solid coffee and a popular study/working location. The menu has a good range of options with seasonal drinks and baked goods also available. I've enjoyed their coffee and matcha lattes, fairly strong. It can get especially busy on Sundays, may be difficult to find seating for a group then. Indoor and outdoor patio seating available, free wifi and accessible outlets. Great study cafe ambience, moderate noise level, and friendly staff. Parking: hourly street parking in front and adjacent parking garage.

Good ambiance downtown. Nice place to hang out. We enjoyed our time there and staff was nice.

This is a gem of a coffee shop. It includes light roast, which is often unusual. And you can get your coffee in beautiful mugs, which I appreciate so much. The staff is very friendly, and the place is decorated beautifully.

Nice coffee spot. I got a vegan strawberry muffin which was super moist and tasty while not being too sweet. And a regular coffee with milk. Initially I didn't like the coffee but after a few sips it was delicious. Very causal spot seems like a good place to do work.

As you pull into the parking lot you will notice parking is very limited. We got lucky as someone was pulling out right in front :) There are a few tables outside, I believe three and the rest is inside. Only one patron was wearing a mask. By late afternoon the floor was just a tad messing and the area where you can pick up lids, a dash of cinnamon, etc could have used a sprucing up. I get it...end of day. My husband used the bathroom and reported back, very tidy. His brewed coffee so hot took :20 before he could take a sip, that is hot! Once he did, smooth and oh so delightful. I had a decaf Latte with whole milk that just hit the spot. I didn't notice the music. There were mugs and t-shirts with their logo for sale and bagged coffee. Also to go salad in glass jars as well as bagels, donuts and things of that nature. Even end of day they looked pretty fresh. Go, enjoy and drink up!

Cortado and ice mocha is good, better than starbucks for sure! But whats surprising is the free drip coffee when you buy a bag of bean, the floral notes with peaches blends well with the ice Super clean toilet! Password 421 Barista was super friendly talk a bit about beans

This cafe is in a great location, and also across the Midtown Marta station. It's very spacious, but seats fill up quick. The amount of noise, including the music from the speaker, makes it difficult for me to work there. Their drinks are okay, too - nothing that special. This time, I tried the Chai Latte, and it was a bit bland. If it was a warmer day, I would've gotten one of their iced drinks, which taste great!

Very average service, food and coffee. I had a bagel which you are required to slice and toast at the self-service station. Imagine holding the same slicer and pushing the same toaster buttons as everyone in the public without hand sanitizer. The bagel wasn't even that great considering the cheese and jalapeños slid off of the bagel when being toasted. The coffee was fine but nothing to write home about. I was told I could have a free refill while there but that was not desired. Many people were present doing work on laptops. The space was airy and full of light to aide in these tasks. This location is across from a Marta station with a panhandler inside the shop.

A beautiful local coffee shop. The personnel is nice and pleasant, the coffee is good. A bit loud background music for calls, but absolutely comfortable for working with the laptop.

I only drink dark roast coffee and they come pretty close to my pickiness. My wife loves their collection of lattes that are very unique.

Dancing Goats in Midtown is right across from my Pilates studio so I stop by sometimes. The coffee here is decent, though nothing special in my opinion. I got an iced salted caramel latte today and it was not sweet at all. Sometimes they can taste a little watered down. I also got their prepackaged Chia Coconut Yogurt, which was a little bland, but not bad. Their rewards system is pretty good though. I got a $6 off reward today and Ive only been here a handful of times! While the coffee is just not for me, the service here is always great. The baristas are all extraordinarily nice and helpful. The indoor seating area is really nice too, and soooo many outlets so a good place to sit and work :)

This place is wonderful. Fabulous coffee and great service! The staff was very helpful.

Such an oasis in Midtown! We were staying in Atlanta for a week and needless to say the free coffee at the hotel was not good. I was happy to find this place. Very good coffee, baked goods and a relaxing atmosphere to boot! I loved it here.

Chai was personally a little too sweet for me but I love that they modified one of their seasonal drinks for me, a non coffee lover

Super cute place m, I love there closed off area, reminds of a library where you can study or do work in peace. Their outside seating is really cute as well. The staff aren't the nicest but ok. We had the cardamom latte which was really good, my daughter had something else that I don't remember but she liked it.

Coffee was mid, very milky, I like my coffee to taste more coffee ish don't expect extraordinary coffee from here but good for a quick coffee run

Super cute spot! I'm a new coffee drinker, so I'm on a quest to finding my go-to spots. I came here with a friend and instantly fell in love upon opening the door. The ambiance was amazing and energy was just right. Their outdoor section was super chill as I sat and sipped my latte. Yum!

I love Dancing Goats, but it seems to have changed a bit since COVID. The quality just doesn't feel the same, as if everything is a bit more rushed. While I understand the need for some changes (and they've done a great job of keeping everything safe!), I wish the coffee was a bit less bitter and that the lattes had more flavor. They also now use disposable cups unless you bring your own, which I'm not a huge fan of. Pictured is the Cortado pre-COVID -- it was fantastically creamy, beautifully prepared, and I loved the glass it was served in. Getting a cortado on a paper cup isn't the same. Can't wait until everything is safe so that I can return to my favorite work spot!

Not a pleasant experience at all. First off, I asked the lady who was taking my order what drinks they are known for and she said umm our coffee and espresso..like obviously I mean what types of drinks are you known for? Pretty rude right off the bat. I decided to go for their single origin coffee and they must have either gotten a bad batch or they ruined it during the brew process because this coffee was super bitter an overly acidic. Not even half and half could save it. Try another coffee spot when in atl.

Friendly staff, good seating and laptop space. Oh and tasty coffee! And more words to hit the minimum.

the drinks were overpriced for how good they tasted, however, there was quick service even early in the morning

Great location, relaxing ambiance, bold coffee, and both indoor/outdoor seating. I had the hazelnut latte, a mini quiche, and a parmesan pastry. All were delightful. Also, Dancing Goats is a great place to get work done. It was actually pretty quiet in there which allowed me to focus. I love the experience of sipping on coffee while in a laid back setting. It's the best! Fyi I found free street parking but there is a parking garage next door. I believe they do validate.

I've always been a fan of the variety, options, and quality Dancing Goats provides. This local franchise holds a fond place in my heart since the Old Fourth Ward location is where I met my life partner..! Things you should know: I. PARKING & LOCATION It's across from the Marta station, so it's nice to stop inside if you're waiting on someone to pick you up from a ride back from the airport (or for whatever reason). I, personally, wouldn't use the street parking UNLESS it's Sunday (because it's not free); however, I would park in the parking garage. I know, there's a gate with a button you have to press for a ticket, but Dancing Goats is COOL and VALIDATES it, so get chu some FREE PARKING and go into the garage on the right side of the shop. Ask for that parking validation and they'll take care of you. II. SERVICE No complaints III. QUALITY Hits my coffee-snob standard well. I always get a black Americano or Cold Brew to test the flavor of the coffee bean and compare it to other businesses. They pass with flying colors. I'm to the point where I like adding milk subs and either their sugarfree hazelnut or sugarfree vanilla syrup. Guilt-free. IV. CAPACITY Steady traffic flow. Consistently has customers. I've never had an issue finding a seat (thank goodness because I camp out whenever I come here). I really like the open atmosphere this location provides with it's high ceilings and soft design. It's refreshing and clean.

The delicious coffee at the uniquely named hangout is one of the many reasons worth the visit. Make sure to ask the friendly staff the origins of the shop's name.
