"For a light breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up, you can’t go wrong with Finca to Filter café in O4W. This lesbian-owned coffee shop makes some very smooth roasts, sourcing their beans from small growers around the world. Stick to classics or try one of Finca’s rotating seasonal drinks—we love the Vicki POW, a delicately flavored gingersnap cookie latte named for legendary queer Atlanta DJ Vicki Powell. Their pastries are equally on point with savory and sweet treats for whatever suits the mood." - rachel garbus
"A neighborhood coffee shop whose team launched a new natural-wine bar; known for community-focused practices, including offering free Plan B and free Narcan at its O4W location, and for incubating hospitality projects and events tied to local makers and causes." - Allison Ramirez
"A queer‑owned coffee bar that recently opened a new Old Fourth Ward location near the Eastside Beltline; the shop is celebrating with a grand‑opening Pride event on Saturday, Oct. 14 featuring drink specials, raffles and prizes, giveaways, free cake, and appearances by drag queens." - Beth McKibben
"A versatile coffee operation with outposts inside local venues that offers classics like drip coffee, flat whites, and lattes alongside seasonal espresso creations; one summertime standout is the U-Haul espresso spritzer, blended with orange-basil syrup and finished with plain Montane seltzer for a bright, effervescent profile. The beverage leans into herbal and citrus notes, reflecting the shop’s willingness to experiment with shrups and sparkling mixers while serving a neighborhood crowd across multiple spots." - Beth McKibben
"For a light breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up, you can’t go wrong with Finca to Filter café. This coffee shop has some of the city’s best beans, sourced from small growers around the world. Stick to classics or try one of Finca’s rotating seasonal drinks—we love the Vicki POW, a delicately flavored gingersnap cookie latte named for legendary queer Atlanta DJ Vicki Powell. Their pastries are equally on point with savory and sweet treats for whatever suits the mood (try one of the handmade empanadas from Atlanta bakery Casa Cardoza)." - Rachel Garbus
