Octane Coffee

"Beloved coffee shop Octane closed after nearly 17 years at its original location on Marietta Street. The Atlanta coffee brand was acquired by Revelator Coffee Company four years ago. Revelator also closed its two Buckhead cafes." - Beth McKibben

"Earlier in September, beloved coffee shop Octane closed after nearly 17 years at its original location on Marietta Street. The Atlanta coffee brand was acquired by Revelator Coffee Company from founders Tony and Diane Riffel four years ago." - Beth McKibben

"Octane on the Westside has been around so long it basically introduced Atlanta to the idea of obsessing over coffee. The French presses and espresso drinks have been helping people reach their goal of dropping ten buzz words a minute while in a meeting where half the people are on computer screens since 2003. It’s best as a quick stop to grab a drink when you’re in the area, though there are a few tables and bar seats in the comfortable space if you want to perch with some work during the week." - Neal Cohen

"Over time, both companies have grown a lot, and sharing a space like that doesn’t make as much sense now." - Beth McKibben

"Octane opened at the fork between Howell Mill Road and Marietta Street in 2004 on the site of a former Standard Oil gas station. The coffee shop quickly became a hangout for Georgia Tech students and staff, and a popular meeting place for Atlanta’s growing start-up and creative communities." - Beth McKibben
