Airy coffee roaster with espresso, craft brews, and retail space
"This Atlanta coffee shop quickly became a favorite among caffeine seekers when it hit the scene in 2017. The bright and airy shop offers plenty of seating, including a patio out front and floor-to-ceiling bleachers just beyond the doors in the lobby of the complex. East Pole also offers public tastings and cuppings and a small food menu. There’s also a location in Poncey-Highland next door to Fishmonger with plenty of inside seating." - Eugene Buchko
"East Pole is located in Armour Yards, surrounded by industrial buildings. Head inside to the sleek, modern counter with 20-somethings discussing upcoming Atlanta events. But really, the menu isn’t why people come here—they offer standard drip coffee, cappuccinos, and lattes—it’s for the workday change of pace. By mid-morning, the tables are full of folks with headphones tapping away on laptops or chatting with friends. If the main room is full, you can head to the deck out front or to a large room adjacent to East Pole that features stadium seating you can lounge on." - Juli Horsford
"The stylish Armour Yards coffee shop has two seasonal coffee drinks this year: the Naughty and the Nice lattes. Naughty is a spiced apple cider blended with a double shot of espresso and served with an orange wedge. Nice is a gingerbread latte made with molasses and served with a holiday cookie." - Lia Picard
"An Atlanta cafe with a similarly airy, open vibe that encourages lingering or productive work sessions; aligned with the rise of local roasters and specialty brewing methods, it serves undeniably excellent coffee in a light, welcoming space." - Eater Staff
"Though East Pole Coffee Co. is firmly within Atlanta’s city limits, its industrial location in the Armour Yards complex makes it feel off the beaten path. The 2,000-square-foot coffee bar features café and patio seating and a production space and roastery behind glass.The cafe imports, then roasts, its single-origin green coffee beans, meaning the quality here is high. The cafe really shines in its pour overs, which rotate based on what’s available, and the house-made seasonal syrups (in combos like orange-rosemary and rose-cardamom) are excellent additions to the espresso drinks." - Jennifer Bradley Franklin
