"Portrait pays homage to its West End neighborhood's proud past with a space that’s cool, cute, and accented with Black-authored books." - jacinta howard, juli horsford
"Atlanta-based Portrait Coffee debuted its new coffee shop in West End in 2020, which also features an on-site roastery inside the Lottie Watkins Building on Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard. As a Black-owned coffee company, founders John Onwuchekwa, Marcus Hollinger, Khalid Smith, Shawndra Onwuchekwa, Aaron Fender, and Erin Fender want to bring better and more diverse representation to the city’s specialty coffee scene. People can also find Portrait coffee sold at shops across Atlanta and can subscribe to the coffee bean subscription service." - Eugene Buchko
"This new coffeehouse is a perfect fit for the Lottie Watkins Building on Ralph David Abernathy. Watkins, a civil rights leader and politician, was the first Black woman to earn her real estate license in Atlanta. Portrait pays homage to the area’s proud past with a space that’s cool, cute, and accented with vintage cameras and Black-authored books on shelves next to branded tumblers. While remote workers peck away at their laptops, decide if you’re going with a solid espresso ($3, all java roasted on site) or something more fun, like the cinnamon-sprinkled Aunt Viv iced latte ($5.50). Either way, your hunger will be history once you add a massive cinnamon roll ($6) to the mix." - demarco williams, nina reeder, jacinta howard
