Georgia-founded coffee shop with 4 total locations. Their Norcross cafe is cozy, yet lively with jazz music gently playing in the background and large windows allowing natural light to flood inside throughout the day. They're a nonprofit company with outstanding intentions you'd be happy to support.
Things you should know:
I. PARKING
Refuge Coffee is at the right end of the downtown plaza area. Street parking is available out front of the business. I noticed coming anytime before noon on weekdays leaves plenty of available space options open for convenient parking; however, as the afternoon approaches, finding a space can be rather difficult.
II. SERVICE
Friendly and timely
III. QUALITY
Their coffee is dense and acidic ~ not watered-down, ideal for coffee snobs like me. If you prefer less dense coffee, they have milk and milk alternatives available to dilute your beverage. I particularly liked that this location has sugar-free syrup options to mix up your drink with.
IV. CAPACITY
During my time here, the crowd seemed to be heaviest around noon hours. It tapers off after. Although the outdoor and indoor seating is slim, I continuously saw available seating so you'll be golden to visit and find a seat.
