"Located across from Kimball House, and backed by Taproom Coffee owner Jonathan Pascual, Opo Coffee features a coffee bar, roastery, and certified coffee training center under one roof. Expect drip coffee and espresso drinks, as well as nitro coffee, chai, and latte specials here. Fresh pastries and baked goods are also available. While there’s ample seating inside, the large patio out back offers plenty of sunny and shady spots to work or read. Sign up for some of Opo Coffee’s courses in their training lab to improve your latte art skills or gain knowledge about the coffee roasting process." - Eugene Buchko

"I observed that the former Ammazza location in Decatur (the site across from Kimball House) is now home to Opo Coffee." - Beth McKibben
"Opened in January by Jonathan Pascual (owner of Taproom Coffee), this coffee operation occupies the former Ammazza space on East Howard Avenue next to the barbecue spot and features a coffee bar with indoor seating and a large patio behind the building. It also houses an onsite roastery and retail shop and includes a coffee and barista training center." - Beth McKibben
"A new Decatur coffee shop from the owner of Taproom Coffee sits across from Kimball House in the former Ammazza space next to BBQ Cafe and Kelly’s Market, offering indoor and outdoor seating, a coffee bar, a roastery with beans for purchase, and an on-site coffee training center. Backed by Taproom Coffee owner Jonathan Pascual and led by Chris Avirett (former head roaster for Thrive Farmers Coffee) and Jenny Burrell (former general manager of Taproom Coffee), the menu focuses on drip and espresso drinks, nitro coffee, chai, specialty lattes, and fresh pastries (beer is not offered). The operation emphasizes a “quadruple bottom line” of people, planet, purpose, and profit: its name is derived from a Filipino word conveying respectful affirmation, it donates 1% of sales to environmental sustainability through 1% for the Planet, and plans to host neighborhood and charitable events. The training center provides Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) certifications for baristas across the Southeast and all staff will carry SCA credentials; the shop aims to fill a local need for coffee service beyond mid-afternoon. Open Monday–Saturday, 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., with a limited menu during the first few weeks." - Beth McKibben
