If you're a coffee lover, fall often brings some new seasonal drinks at your favorite shops, and you'll appreciate their cozy atmosphere more than ever. Our real estate agents share some of their favorite Atlanta coffee shops where you can linger in their comfy atmosphere and sip some fall flavors.
From its beginnings as a brand of roasted coffee developed in a detached garage in Atlanta's Grant Park neighborhood to a flagship roastery and coffee bar in Armour Yards, East Pole Coffee Co. has grown to include a second bar location in the Poncey-Highland neighborhood. Its cozy, comfortable interior will make you want to stay and enjoy your favorite brew, and its exterior windows encourage people-watching as you sip. It's known for its friendly staff as well as:
You'll find PERC Coffee—named for its own Panther's Eye Roasting Company—in Atlanta's historic Virginia-Highland neighborhood (better known as VaHi to locals). Expect everything from classic coffee drinks to more creative concoctions, with a one-to-five Mild-to-Wild scale to help you choose from smooth, easygoing brews to more complex, adventurous cups. Customer favorites include the Good Times Latte, a vanilla-lavender drink with syrup made in-house.
Dancing Goats Coffee along the Beltline makes the perfect stop if you're visiting the nearby Ponce City Market—or anytime, really. The company isn't new to the busy Atlanta coffee scene, having roasted its own coffee since 1994. A selection of fall drinks is sure to tempt you, starting with the annual staple of a cozy, comforting Pumpkin Pie Latte. It's joined this year by new seasonal drinks you'll also want to try:
You'll find Harbor Coffee in the Inman Park neighborhood in the charming historic Ballard & Ballard building, which has retained many of the site's beautiful details, including its interior flooring and wooden beams. The menu is intentionally simple so the drinks focus on the natural flavors of the coffees the shop uses. Fall additions include a seasonal house-made syrup with dark brown sugar, cardamom, pumpkin pie spices, and orange peels. It tastes delicious in anything, but is particularly recommended for lattes.
Bellwood Coffee has expanded its list of Atlanta locations this year to include the Grant Park neighborhood, creating a welcoming shop with plenty of vintage decor. Get in the mood for fall with selections including Sunday Morning, a latte with brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and sea salt, or the Gold Rush, a salted brown-butter caramel latte. You can order each drink hot, or if Atlanta is having one of its warmer fall days, enjoy your choice iced.
Poncey-Highland, Virginia-Highland, Inman Park, and Grant Park all have coffee shops featured here, giving you plenty of options in several popular Atlanta neighborhoods.
Seasonal menus vary, but local coffee shops often introduce fall flavors in lattes, espresso drinks, matcha, chai, and house-made syrups. Check each shop's current menu before visiting since selections may change throughout the season.
Several of these shops offer comfortable interiors or inviting surroundings that work well for catching up with friends, reading, or enjoying a slower coffee break. Seating and crowds can vary depending on the location and time of day.
