East Pole Coffee Co.

Amazing specialty coffee shop. I tried the espresso and they dialed it in perfectly. Lots of great flavors and no bitterness. The pastries were amazing. We had the chocolate croissant, blueberry muffin and another pastry with some jam on it. The space is wide open and very nice inside. You can also watch them roasting their coffee which is really fun. I highly recommend this spot if you love espresso, a good cortado or lattes!

A wonderful coffee bar. Nice staff. Bright, open, clean cafe. The latte was pretty good. I've had better, but I'd still come back for another cup. Their pastries are sourced from Alon's, so they're very good. Overall a pleasant experience.

This café is a hidden gem for coffee lovers and remote workers alike! With its in-house roaster on display, every cup feels thoughtfully crafted. The vibe is super chill and welcoming, with lots of space to sit and work. I loved the amphitheater-style seating just outside—it’s such a cool, unique touch. Plus, it’s in a quiet area, so it’s great if you want to focus or just enjoy your coffee in peace.

Had a great time here. Ample parking, good seating options inside and outside. The baristas are helpful and knowledgeable. The drink menu is focused but a decent amount of options. I would go back!

It’s rare place that has great coffee and cozy space. I enjoyed drip coffee on a mug that can refill. And a raspberry cheese danish which was great combination with the coffee. The drip coffee was strong enough and smooth. I liked different types of seating areas; in and out. Interior was great and good for working remotely. I recommend this place for digital nomad friends.

Love! Love! Love this place!!! Best coffee I’ve had in Atlanta area! The baristas definitely know how to make a proper latte. One time they had donuts another empanadas both were delicious! Staff is always friendly and helpful.

I absolutely love coming to this place for a delicious coffee and donut on Saturday’s. They have Five Daughter Donuts on Saturday’s and they’re delicious. Their menu of drinks is small but all so great and just what is needed. The service is always top notch. I love the atmosphere of the space- great for chatting, reading, and working. They offer coffee cuppings on most last Saturday of each month. It was a great learning experience about the different flavors of coffee they offer and the process of tasting coffee. I really enjoyed this experience.

Beautiful art, delicious & fairly priced ($3) cortado, nice and CLEAN place to come hang out… I’m a Cuban-American from Miami so I get happy anytime I see empanadas on a menu and even happier when they are this good! Cheese & onion empanada was so cheesy I went back for seconds, steak & potatoes was surprisingly tender

Easily one of the best cafes in Greater Atlanta! By this point, I think I have worked from most of the "popular" cafes in the ATL area, and this stands out as one of the best. Let me try to explain why. Food - One of the best Cortado and Cappuccino I have had. They also have seasonal lattes which can be good. The prices are very reasonable. The only drink I would recommend avoiding is "Chocolate Milk". I didn't like it at all. Apart from that, everything I had was amazing. Also, try their Almond/Chocolate croissant. It's really good! Service - Some of the most friendly baristas I have come across in Atlanta. Very quick and great attention to detail. Ambiance - This is the best part of the cafe! If you are looking for a good place to work in the area, look no further. They have every kind of seating arrangement you can imagine - benches, 2-person tables, bar tables, huge desks, etc. There are both indoor and outdoor seating. You can get both quiet areas for meetings and louder areas for discussions and conversations. Parking - Abundant! You can street park right outside. Otherwise, there are retail parking spaces 1-2 minutes walk. It's beside a cheese shop called Capella (which is also a must-try!). Location - If you don't drive, this cafe is not for you. It's a little out of the way for public transport or even walking. This is the only "negative" I can think of. Great lattes, limited food options, best working spaces, and a great outdoor patio! One of the best cafes I have been to in Atlanta.

Swung by for a mid- day coffee. Very nice ambience - the location is surrounded by other cafe/food spots. There were a lot of people studying so it seems like a nice study spot. I ordered a vanilla latte, which had more milk than coffee (which is how I like it) and it was very tasty. The service was very quick and the employees were kind. There isn't a lot of item options beyond their empanadas and coffee, but makes sense for a coffee shop. There are chairs to sit outside and have a chat as well. I used the street parking, but there is a lot where you can pay as well.

East Pole Coffee Co. has roasteries and coffee bars in Atlanta and Birmingham. The Atlanta-based company values the power of relationships, whether with their coffee producers, wholesale customers, or coffee bar patrons. East Pole's first store is located in the Armour Yards neighborhood, with a second Atlanta location in Poncey Highland. Both Atlanta locations offer beautifully designed spacious interiors with plenty of natural light, nautical design pieces, and bluish hues. The Poncey Highland location offers limited seating. The Armour Yards location shares a building with Coyote and Capella Cheese. The facility entrance features a large coworking space with plenty of outlets and even some cushions in addition to outdoor seating. East Pole Coffee Co. strives to provide exceptional service. I love that they bring your coffee/tea to your seat. I love their coffee and Spirit Teas (especially the Firefly Black Tea) and also purchase coffee beans on-site. The Armour Yards location has a pretty solid Iced Peach Tea.

Here for work and came to east pole today. Had a wonderful pour over. Delicious flavor. Cool spot in a revamped industrial area.

I thought I would check out this place on my quest to find some excellent remote working locations. I was surprised by how busy it was mid-morning, considering most people should be in the office ( who am I kidding it is Atlanta), but it was pretty crowded. I am not the biggest coffee girl, so I ordered a hot chocolate, and it was good. The service was nice. There was seating outside if you want to work outside!

We had the two savory options: chorizo and the second potato. Both were delicious and the chorizo had such a blend of clove in it, that tasted just my grandpas homemade chorizo. I espresso is finely balanced with the milk- it's hard to have such dialed in coffee and I would say this place is definitely a great specialty place. Great seating areas. Definitely a bit pricey but you are getting specialized coffee so it's usually that price range unless you are in Portland, Or. Go on a payday. Service was lovely and you can tell the staff is really into what they are doing.

East Pole is a go-to for coffee enthusiasts! My husband is a coffee nerd and loved his cortado. The interior is charming, though finding seating can be a challenge due to this being a popular spot to work. There are limited tables and a huge bleacher with seat cushions. Not super ideal when you have a baby with you. Big thanks to a kind man who gave up his table for us. Don't miss the delightful five daughters croissant donuts on weekends!

I loved the seasonal drink today- an orange cardamom cappuccino with some salt flakes on top. It was so yummy, balanced, creative, and flavorful from the buttery foam when it reaches your mouth to the orange and cardamom flavor in the body to the salty flavor at the end of the sip. The other drink was an oat milk latte that was solid. The espresso was really good on both drinks. I only give this place a 4 because there have been times the drinks are fantastic like today and other days when the espresso will taste a bit off and make the drink not so good. The service and vibes were great too. This is one of my favorite Atlanta coffee shops for sure

Parking is easy. I have liked their specials only. they need to bring the tahini coffee back and then rose coffee as an everyday coffee option!!

The first sip of the honey latte and instantly I knew this was a top quality coffee shop. It was the perfect level of sweetness and richness. I'd love to come again to try their vanilla latte. We got a bag of their traffic coffee bean for my boyfriend's mom to try so we're excited to see how it tastes!

Nice coffee spot off the beaten path. Location and Parking Located in Buckhead, parking is free along the street in front of the shop. Venue and Atmosphere The shop is clean and full of natural light. There is plenty of table and bar seating inside the shop, with additional tables and outlets in the lobby area. There are large widows allowing ample amounts of natural light. Service Service was prompt, courteous, and efficient. Food and Beverages The iced latte with honey syrup was solid, as was the cinnamon roll. The breakfast empanada was also delicious. Verdict I'll be back, solid choice for workspace, drinks, and food.

I prefer to post reviews of positive experiences, however, I was so disappointed in my treatment and lack of response from management that I believe it is necessary to post. My barista was rude, acted as though it pained him to take my order & lectured me on my choice in what I wanted to put in my beverage in a very judgmental/condescending way. I wasn't asking for his lofty opinion & unwarranted rebuke for what I chose to drink- I was simply placing an order. Additionally, I was the only Black customer besides my guest and I noticed the same Barista treating the white customers with smiles and a very welcoming and pleasant disposition. East Pole Coffee management did not respond to an email that I sent detailing the incident. Consequently, I'll take my "green" money elsewhere where my patronage and presence is valued.

The coffee was very good. The service was okay. The baristas were nice but uninformed. They had to look to see what type of milk and half and half they serve, having no idea they said. They also could not give me tasting notes for the beans and said they didn't even have any information on them. I found more information on the website which I stood in the cafe and looked up, but not all the beans were on the website either. The space was a bit odd and catering to a younger crowd as the seating was ample but uncomfortable with stadium style seating like bleachers that I certainly couldn't bring anyone over a certain age to navigate. Plenty of bathroom space down the hall behind those bleacher like seats though. I was able to find a comfortable chair but the view was of the parking garage ...

Limited menus and service....great location and great selection of coffees and teas. Service definitely needs improvement. The space is unique and a great focus space.

Perfect place for coworking or studying! ***Location: Around Midtown. There is plenty of parking in the lot beside the cafe. You walk into a large coworking space and there is this coffee shop and a cheese place as well (which looked amazing. Will have to try it next time!) ***Staff: Nice and friendly! We didn't spend long speaking with them but they answered our questions and made our coffees quickly. ***Experience: Really loved the space. It was very open with lots of tables and outlets. There's a space with bench seating like stadium seats and it looks like a comfy place to get a little work done. The space was not too crowded and not loud! There is seating inside of the cafe as well in addition to this space outside of the cafe (but still indoors). The cafe seating seemed a little noisier but also nice. There is outdoor seating too! ***Food: All I got was the seasonal drink. I have no idea what was in it. I just ordered the "seasonal drink" on the menu. It was good and I liked the sprinkles! ***Improvements: None atm. Really loved this place and will definitely be back!

I came here to find a place so I could feel more productive. It's a cute cafe with a few tables inside and two more out front. There is even an atrium area with plenty more seating and also much quieter if that is your preferred setting. Clean bathrooms are also available just around the corner along with a hydration station and water fountains. Having just eaten before I opted to try their honey orchid iced tea since it was one of the many hot days in Atlanta. It was light, refreshing and unsweetened. It was exactly what I wanted. Overall, I had a great experience. Staff were charismatic and were even vibing to the music themselves. I would definitely come again!

I was greeted at East Pole by Ryan the barista, who promptly proclaimed "you must be Thomas!" As it so happened, my brother had warned Ryan that I was coming and Ryan, the good barista he was, somehow remembered my name. That just about sums up East Pole. They're attentive to detail, incredibly caring and accommodating to their customers, and excel in interior decoration and aesthetics. The coffee tasted great and came alongside some nice latte art. While I only got to enjoy the setting for 45 minutes before I had to run, I unhesitatingly endorse East Pole if you're looking for a nice coffee joint in the midtown area.

Coffee is good but service was not. It has potential to be a great coffee shop one day. Could use better seating for large group.

This place is an absolutely one of the perfect places for remote work and enjoying a good cup of coffee. As someone who works remotely, I know how important it is to have reliable Wi-Fi and excellent coffee, and this place delivers on both. The interior has a cool and modern vibe, making it a pleasant place to spend time. Whether you prefer to sit inside or outside, they have plenty of seating available, although it can get a bit limited at times due to its popularity. Now the coffee is really good! My go-to order is their cortado with honey and lavender syrup, made with creamy oat milk. They also have a fantastic selection of signature drinks featuring oat milk, which I highly recommend trying. The service and staff are simply amazing, always has positive energy and providing friendly and attentive service. Even though it's a bit of a drive from where I live, this has become my go-to spot whenever I want to work outside of my house. The combination of great coffee, reliable Wi-Fi, friendly staff, and comfortable atmosphere makes it well worth the trip.

Their coffee beans are where it is at! Visited many places around the area that used their beans. New to the area so I had no idea but I just kept noticing that my coffee always tasted amazing. And who would've known, from brunch spots to bakery's, they were all using these local beans from East Pole. So I just had to find it! Beautiful little location inside of what seems to be a corporate building? The atmosphere changes when you walk into the cafe though! Got a few lattes, some adorable mugs, cutest shirt, and about seven bags of coffee for myself and for gifts back home! This place is amazing and definitely see why they have a serious following. Traffic seems to be the most popular roast. They were sold out completely in this roast during my first visit. Had to come back the following week for some more! The Popayan Reserve roast is also a favorite! They also have a subscription membership where they deliver fresh batches roasted that week to your door. Consider me subscribed.

Pricey but good place to study/work. Sandwich stop next door is a good touch. There's a big open area next to the shop with tons of seating room

Loved the coffee here! I got an iced vanilla oat milk latte. I usually don't like when lattes are overly sweet... I swear their vanilla house syrup tastes like vanilla ice cream, but in the best way. The espresso did not get completely lost though. It was present yet smooth. Want to go back asap!

Came in for coffee on a Saturday, and we were able to get a table to have our pastries and coffee. Overall enjoyed the pastries, and they were able to make a dirty chai even though it wasn't on the menu.

Love this coffee place and have been going for almost 7 years or so. They roast their beans on site and don't have a frivolous menu - just the basics. However, the drinks are consistently delicious, the coffee is fresh and if you can get there when they still have pastries, you are in for a treat! There are 2-3 tables outside, a few tables inside and a lot of seating on some oversized dramatic steps right outside the cafe (indoors). Lots of natural sunlight comes in the shop since the walls are glass. I love to go here when the weather is nice to sit outside and people watch with my coffee. Also, you have the option of getting a real cup which is rare post COVID.

I am not sure if they know what diversity is. There's no one of color on staff nor dining. My partner and I felt very uncomfortable. Reiterated a few times it was for here. Served everything to-go with no flatware. Not content creator friendly. Pastries delicious and coffee drinks aren't that sweet.

East Pole has the best ambiance and setup around. The service from the people is so top notch and warm.

Pretty long wait time to order bc there was only one worker but they were very friendly the vibes were very good for coworking I was a little dissatisfied with the chai -more spicy than I expected

Great place to work for the day or morning, and also grab a delicious cup of coffee! Parking: There is free street parking along the main road. It's great because if you plan to spend a whole day here working, you don't need to worry about how much parking fees are going to be. I got here close to opening around 7:10AM and there was plenty of spots to choose from. There's also a lot you can park in, but that has limited spots. Coffee: I ordered the vanilla latte. It was really good, not too sweet. If you order the 12 oz. it comes in the pictured mug; however, if you order the 16 oz. it comes in a to go cup, whether you're taking it or staying there. They also have breakfast sandwiches and pastries you can order. Vibes: I really enjoyed the vibes here. The music was nice, but could be hard to hear the person next to me sometimes. I don't think the music was too loud; I think it might have to do with the open/height of the ceiling or something. They have outlets along the bar seating by the window and one outlet close to the "booth" style seats near the door. If you prefer a table with a chair that provides back support, you'll definitely need to make sure your computer is fully charged. There's also stadium seating right outside the shop that has outlets along the stairs, so that's another option. I think that would be more ideally for studying versus if you have to get work done on a computer. Lots of people come to work here and it was a great place to be productive. I would come back here!

Great spot with good parking and a lot of seating. I think it would be a great place to meet a friend for coffee or get a snack or just work. Service was fine. Some of the other reviews said they were rude or stuck up? That was not my impression. I got the seasonal coffee (pumpkin with some graham cracker sprinkling) but to be brutally honest, I didn't love it. It was ok. I drank it all and got a caffeine buzz (so that's a plus). Great alternative to Starbucks. I liked that they had a selection of interesting pastries and a relatively simplified beverage menu. Next time I'll get a latte.

Amazing coffee. They are a hot spot for chilling and the coffee is spot on. I loved the ambience, very chilled. Looks like a refurbished factory. The service is not disappointing. I tried the seasonal drink which was an orange infused cardamom coffee. It blew my mind. It's way better than the commercials chains. They had dairy alternatives which is what I look for. I had mine in oatmilk but they also had almond and soy I guess. I will definitely revisit.

Awesome coffee shop! Plenty of seating to do some work or study. Great, fresh coffee with some pastries and baked goods in the case. The staff are friendly and the ambiance is great. We stopped by on a Sunday morning and they were quite busy. We were able to find a table fairly easily though. I will say they didn't have any breakfast sandwiches which was a bit disappointing but the pastries we did have were great! I'm sure we'll be back!

Currently at East Pole waiting on dirty chai latte ! This is my second latte as I got here around 9:15am. I orders a simple oat milk latte and cronut from five daughters and the dirty chai to go . The people that work here Rival Chick fil a service plus they have the hip flare! Each associate including the barista went above to make my experience great ! They heard me talking about my hometown NC and took time to chat with me ! I really appreciate that . The barista is top notch and I know his wrist has to ache lol but keep being awesome ! For those who wonder like me they use a La Marzocco expresso machine and it is beautiful ! The price range is $3-$10 for a coffee and the sweet treats are $5 and up ! Parking is slim so prepare for that. Bathrooms are extremely clean ! Great lighting for a quick picture ! I will be back .

Great location. Beautiful interior, hit or miss service and poor quality drip coffee. Would I drive here for a cup of coffee again? - no.

Better than bomb! This unassuming coffee spot is the perfect place to sip some joe and enjoy a tasty treat!

A little crowded but they do have a lot of seating! The prices are affordable and the cappuccino is great.

The service was great, the baristas were so nice! It's so cute in there too! I also had the spicy potato empanada which was soooo freaking good. Go here!!

The most perfect relaxing coffee spot! After a red eye into ATL from LAX, an early breakfast a few hours at the aquarium I was tuckered out and needed my afternoon latte ASAP. We stopped in East Pole and the service and drinks were perfection on a warm day. We relaxed outside and I took in the vibe of this place. Peaceful is the first word that comes to mind. It was off the beaten path, quiet, calm, relaxing, everything I needed at 230P in the afternoon. I'd highly recommend East Pole and will definitely return when I'm in town.

This is a great coffee shop to get things done! I love the aesthetic of the main coffee room with its high ceilings and steel is great! There is so much natural light in this place. I ordered my coffee, which was on the high side but worth it. My drink was done quickly as there was no line ahead of me. I was able to find a small table in the corner easily also without a wait, even though the place was pretty full. The seating includes comfy chairs, bar seating, small tables, and one large table that is usually shared. There is also seating outside and in the lobby area of the building. This is unique in that it is almost bleacher like with pillow so you can get comfortable. I wish there were more outlet options here, but that is my only complaint. Parking on the street was easy!

Peaceful vibes and not super crowded on a Saturday morning (we went around 9:30am). It does get a bit more crowded by 10:30am. There are individual tables inside as well as a large shared one. Staff is super nice! They said today was the first day they were doing the matcha/coconut/mint iced seasonal drink and it was delicious, so I'm thankful for their recommendation. Also had a jalapeno sausage kolache that was flaky and good portion size for a morning snack. Service was quick. There are some outdoor seating spots with patio chairs and abundant free parking in the lot and on the street. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a chill spot to work or hangout that has coffee and pastries. Would love to come here again!

Place: This place is very aesthetically pleasing and clean looking. It looks very industrial and a modern feel. It seems like it is in a newer building. It is pretty spacious. Service: The service is good. They give out good recommendations Food/price: I highly recommend this place. I got the espresso coffee because I was feeling tired and it woke me up! Audience: I went with family but great for friends and couples. there is this huge stair steps for people to study at. I would say not suitable for large groups maybe in a group of 3 or less. Recommend/tips? I highly recommend!

Amazing Atlanta based roaster, great service, and delightful cafe ambiance. Nice pastries and snacks, I really dig their coffee selections that are offered-whole bean or ground upon request.

East Pole is a great little gem. Located in a warehouse type building that's been converted to a multi-use building, it attracts a very diverse range of people and that was cool to see. When my friend and I arrived, we were looking for a nice grab-and-go spot, and this place met our needs. However, we would've loved to sit in the bright interior or exterior if we had time. Service itself was meh. The staff weren't rude, but they were very direct and dry. I can't complain about the latte they made, however. The drink was around $6 with a tip. I thoroughly enjoyed their espresso and the latte art. Overall it's a cute place great for working, meeting with friends, or even a grab-and-go. The food looked delicious, too. Their goodies included several local items, which is awesome. I highly recommend visiting this peaceful place if you have the chance!

Super cute place! As soon as I walked into the building it gave me such Silicon Valley vibes. It's very clean, hypster-ish and perfect for working remote or hanging out. They have a few places to sit; patio, inside and on the stairs right outside the shop. I ordered an iced breve vanilla latte and it was great. Not too sweet, just right. The girl at the front mentioned that they made their syrups in house so I had to give it a try.

One of my favorite spots to do some work or study at whole drinking a coffee. The ambiance is great to settle in and get some work done. I love that if you are staying they give you the coffee in an actual cup rather than a to go cup. The baristas are always so nice, it's a pleasure to go to East Pole! Bonus point, they always have fresh donuts that are delicious.

Great coffee place, but show up early, it fills up fast! I was there at around 2 pm and almost all the street / nearby parking was full, and so were all the tables, sofas, chairs, and seats in the coffee shop! Very friendly, mustachioed employees greet and take your order. They even give you this sexy little glass cup for your iced coffee with the east pole logo on it. Coffee tasted pretty good and was great iced on a hot day. When the seating in the shop is full, there is a big open room with stadium (raised level) seating just next to it-- so that's where I sat to read my book. They have dark blue cushions supplied as well. Probably not as comfortable, but still convenient. Overall, wonderful place; I would definitely come back and recommend to everyone else.

I really don't get the hype of this place. There's minimal table seating, the drinks are overpriced, and the food isn't that good. So far I've tried their lattes, and iced and hot chocolate milk drinks. The latte was a bit .. extra milky for me and the chocolate milk drink had a very strange texture.

Awful experience. Coffee is decent but there is no place to sit. The barista was kind of a jerk... saying not to move chairs... I mean what's the big deal. Then directed us to cleanup and put our stuff in a certain location...Wouldn't have been a problem if he was decent and friendly. They need a more friendly barista. As excited as I was to try a new coffee place- we won't return to this one.

I go to East pole multiple times a week. The coffee is good but what really holds them apart from other coffee shops is the service and staff! Evan is great! He's so welcoming and he pours the best lattes! The best part of my day is the stopping for a coffee before going to work.

Food- They had a spicy potato empanada that I think about quite often. I need to go back because that was delicious. I had a latte and it wasn't bad. I need to try their iced coffee black, that's how I know if I really enjoy their coffee beans. Service- Friendly staff Ambiance- It gets BUSY but I love that they have the bleachers. I wouldn't want to work on my laptop on the bleachers however just due to neck pains but they have spots and outlets at some tables as well!
