Tucked into the ground floor of the Georgian Terrace Hotel, right across from the Fox Theatre, Buffalo Bayou Coffee has the bones of something special, a storied address, foot traffic that doesn't quit, and a location that practically writes its own story. What it delivers, though, is something more modest: a competent neighborhood coffee stop that's better experienced outside than in. The staff is genuinely friendly , no attitude, just people doing their jobs with a smile. That counts for more than people give it credit for. The coffee itself is solid. Nothing that made me stop mid-sip and reach for my phone to text someone about it, but nothing to complain about either. It's the kind of cup that gets you where you're going. Where the place actually earns its keep is the outdoor seating. Sitting outside with the Fox looming across the street, watching Midtown do its thing -- that's the real menu item. The setting does what read more

This coffee bar is attached to the Georgian Terrace Hotel. They could use more staff to speed things up. I had a latte and yogurt cup (without the granola because wasn't sure if it was gluten free). My husband's breakfast sandwich looked delicious and a generous size - bacon, egg, and cheese on a large English muffin. They have some muffins, bagels, fruit cups, fresh salads as well. For a quick bite, it's good. There's ample outdoor seating and it's directly across the street from the Fox theater. There's a significant presence of unhoused individuals in this area and you will be approached if you're sitting outside. read more

When I'm traveling, either for work or for play, tracking down a good coffee shop is always at the top of my list. Thankfully this coffee shop was attached to my hotel, so it was very easy to come by. While there's no seating inside, there are a few tables right out front. It's very cozy but inviting. There was only one person working there at the time, managing the drinks and the register. She was really on top of it, props to her! I ordered a lavender latte with oat milk and one of their fruit cups. I was pleased to hear that the 16oz option had three shots of espresso in it, love that! It was strong but exactly what I was looking for before I jumped on the road for about an hour or so. As for the fruit cup, it was not the best. It was obviously frozen fruit that wasn't fully thawed out so there were some pieces that were soggy and/or slimy, which really threw me off. I had a few grapes, but that was about it. If you're staying at the Georgian Terrace hotel and need a cup of joe, this spot will do. read more

Great service, very good products ( loved my sandwich and latte!) next time I'll linger at the adorable outside seating. read more

Buffalo Bayou Coffee - Egg, bacon and cheese on English muffin. Wow these eggs are on point! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This place. It's hidden in plain sight. I was looking for a breakfast sandwich the other day and went to Yelp to search. This place popped up because it was on my route home. And I am glad I decided to try it. The property gives the feeling of a quiet cafe. When I walked in, the place was clean and organized and after reading the reviews, I expected the food to be delicious. EXPECTATIONS EXCEEDED. I had sausage and eggs on an English muffin and got a croissant with bacon egg and cheese for bae. They were huge and filling but not heavy, if that makes sense. The service provided is welcoming and efficient. If you want good breakfast and good services out Buffalo Bayou Cafe!!! read more

What a lifesaver!!! This small little coffee shop is attached to The Georgian Terrace, where I was staying. The young man working was friendly each time I went in especially in the early morning. Ordered a latte each time and it was perfect either iced or hot. I loved the outdoor seating. I sat one afternoon and just watched people walking down Peachtree. The other days I brought it up to my room. My only complaint is that he was working alone, and it looked like he also made coffee for Livingston's next door. So the wait time was a little long, I didn't mind, but I could see how it affected the other customers. read more

What a treat! I walked over for a muffin and tea, and was greeted so warmly by Marlene--it truly turned my day around. The tea was delicious, and the cranberry walnut muffin was so good I'll definitely be back for another soon. It's been a long time since I've had such a great experience with a barista/cashier, and it was so refreshing. read more

Buffalo Bayou Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Very Friendly People that work there. I was staying at the Georgian Terrace and went here for breakfast. The portions are huge!! I couldn't believe it! All this for $6 in the big city. I will definately be back if we stay here again. Great Value!! Great Food. I would get the egg and cheese sandwich over the chicken one just personal preference. The ham egg and cheese was huge, and very flavorful. The chicken one definitely looked like a frozen nugget on a biscuit. read more

Amazing chai and their peach muffins are to die for. They seemed to be under staffed and it's popular, so just budget a bit extra time.

Overpriced, absolutely, but sort of expected for the location. No excuse for the horrible attitude filled service. We were literally screamed at when ordering a panini sandwich because the woman behind the counter had to heat up the oven which "she didn't have time to do". Please boycott this place until they hire employees that don't insult their customers. read more

Enjoyable first visit to this coffee shop during my current Atlanta weekend getaway. It's a bit overpriced, but the service was/is quite friendly and welcoming, and a clean interior is always a good thing. Although I found nothing special about the coffee offering itself, the pasty options were nice ... and tasty. Easy to recommend. read more

The location is convenient and they have a decent selection. The service was pretty quick. The space is a big downside though. There is no indoor seating. In fact, there is barely even room to stand in line for your order. While you're standing in line, people are coming in the door and squishing you into the counter. We went because we were staying in the hotel right there but I don't know that I would go again unless it was empty. read more

Came for a breakfast egg sausage sandwich. Luv how it was made to order and was real eggs. Great seating outside read more

Buffalo Bayou Coffee - Sausage n egg on muffin no cheese around $6 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Buffalo Bayou Coffee - a hand holding a coffee cup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Bad service, overpriced drinks, and rude baristas. My cold brew was $8.71, the barista was not only rude, but incredibly slow, AND both times I've gone, ordering felt like I was asking the barista a riddle for her first born child. And I'm not the only one who thinks this. I'm currently here with a show at the Fox and every single cast member I've talked to about this place has had a similar interaction with the same barista (curly haired young woman, glacial with no short term memory retention) Also pretty su re she was talking sh*t about me as if I'm not right there. Also said that the way I order ("large cold brew with Lavender and Oat") was "different and confusing." Go to thousand hills. It's better and the staff isn't awful. read more

Hands down the best coffee and breakfast sandwich I've ever had anywhere let alone in Atlanta. The two ladies behind the counter were so nice and welcoming as well! Outdoor seating was perfect. I would come down here again just for this place! read more

Horrible. The staff are kind and polite which is good if you want to build rapport and start a conversation. But the quality of the coffee and service was horrible. If you're looking for at least a decent quality coffee and a standard wait time for food, then don't go here. We got here around 10 or 10:15AM. Already there were 3 people ahead of us waiting for food. We ordered a latte, dirty chai, iced coffee, black coffee, and a bagel. The latte came in a medium sized cup but was only half filled and tasted too watery. The dirty chai was "meh" per my friend who ordered it. The iced coffee was too sweet. And my black coffee was a dark roast that came in a medium cup also half filled and tasted too light and watery. Now the food: it took about 15-20 minutes for me to get a toasted bagel. This one lady that was ahead of us was still waiting for a breakfast burrito and bagel. She ended up getting the bagel, but not her burrito. She's been waiting since we ordered. After about those 15-20 minutes, she asked for whatever food item she can get and the staff gave her a turkey sandwich. She ended up teary-eyed because of the whole thing - poor lady. read more

This is place is for people who are buying coffee on their expense account and want to enjoy a great location and have lovely service. 14 dollars for two coffees is too expensive to start the morning on vacation, when there are so many amazing culinary delights in Atlanta. read more

Unique and adorable coffee shop adjacent to the Georgian Terrace Hotel on Peachtree. Outdoor seating available. Offers baked goods. But the five stars is for the delicious soy no foam latte which was out of this world. read more

Coffee was expensive but good. Usually not a long line, even at breakfast time. They messed up an order once but fixed it for free, and someone got a free coffee out of it. read more

The coffee is good and location is good since there isn't much else around besides Dunkin' or Starbucks. Pastries are a no for me. I got a "chocolate croissant" once, but it was tough and hard like they didn't let the pastries rise/proof before baking. If you just want coffee, I've only had good experiences with it and the customer service is always good. read more

I ordered a soy latte here and it was not good. The two guys here were great though as the cashier recommended places I should eat at in Atlanta. The pastries didn't look good. I wanted this to be my morning coffee shop, unfortunately I didn't come back. read more

Nice clean coffee shop outside the Georgian Terrace Hotel.. open 6:30 am until 2 pm daily... limited selections and out of menu items but did have coffees , some juices and sugary sweets.. nice seating area outside to watch Peachtree street (midtown Atlanta) come slice in the early hours... directly across street from The Fox Theater .. read more

Buffalo Bayou Coffee - Blueberry muffin - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Small shop with no indoor seating. But the thoughtful and courteous staff suggested that I sit with my delicious breakfast sandwich in the beautiful and comfortable lobby of the historic Georgian Terrace Hotel with which the cafe is associated. Coffee was strong and the the decor as lovely as the staff. This was a terrific breakfast! read more

This is my midtown go-to for an iced coffee in the middle of the day or before work. It's conveniently a short walk from the train station, and just a few blocks from all sorts of Atlanta attractions. The prices are more than reasonable and I have never had bad service (shout out to Cole!). I have no idea where the pastries come from, but they are always fresh and the coffee is always just want I need to push through the work day. My favorite thing about this place is the incredible outdoor seating. It's part of the hotel, so there's no shortage of comfy chairs to enjoy your drink while you people watch. read more

Ran into Very nasty girl behind the counter this morning Jade. No greeting ,thanks, or acknowledgment. Threw my change in my hand. Then threw my coffee in my hand. It almost dropped! Not a customer service person at all read more

Had a mocha with whole milk. Perfect combination of coffee, chocolate and milk. Not one of those overwhelming the other! Great job and muffins are delicious read more

Great value for breakfast. My sausage egg croissant was large. Good coffee, too. Good choice if you are in midtown Atlanta

Good coffee. Great breakfast sandwiches. TINY place and very busy.

Love this little coffee shop! My partner and I were in town for a festival and we stopped here every morning for coffee from very friendly staff and, no kidding, the best breakfast sandwiches ever! Croissants are fluffy, they make their eggs fresh, it was the best start to our day while we were here! read more

Buffalo Bayou Coffee - Bacon egg and cheese croissant, iced mocha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Perfecto! I was waiting on a meeting at the Fox and this convenient place was right across the street! #totallyfab I stopped in for an early lunch, to find a couple nice gentlemen working. Looking at the two sandwiches in their cooler case, the gentlemen described each one to me. One was chicken salad on a croissant, the other was a turkey BLT. I went with the latter because... Bacon. The gentleman told me that if I wanted a drink or chips, it'd be cheaper to get a combo. I don't know the price of the combo, but the whole package was a STEAL. I think it was $10.22 and I got a HUGE turkey BLT (cold), cup of fruit, New Orlean's kettle chips, AND a fabulous iced tea. Everything was SUPER tasty and the patio outside is SUPER cozy. If you've got a meeting in the area, or are nearby and are looking for a nice lunch rendezvous spot. This is the jam. It's nestled right in front of the Georgian Terrace (though not inside) and therefore has easy access to the RR. #thisplaceisSUPER read more

Great service! Very kind staff, the food was quite good and fairly priced. I recommend the muffins!

Good service and breakfast! My latte was awesome and will visit again when back in Atlanta

Got here at 630am. Wasn't open. Then they were just getting to brew the coffee as we walked in. Waited another 15 min for my coffee. Coffee looks like tea. Oh my goodness you would think that if they opened at 630- they would be ready for customers. read more

Great cup of drip, but I won't be back due to really bad service. Three guys working. Three customers in the shop, one in line ahead of me, one already fixing his cup with cream and sugar... So why did it take 5 minutes to get a cup of drip when the other guy only ordered drip as well? I'm still clueless. This was a very strange experience that won't be repeated. read more

We ordered lattes and my husband walked there from our hotel a couple blocks away and the barista was nice enough to allow us to use our metal coffee tumblers.My husband said he was super chill and nice and very accommodating.We were nervous based on other reviews but even if you get a douche barista the coffee still tastes great.I ordered a raspberry mocha latte and that was delish not to sweet and my husband ordered a caramel latte and as well that was delish very creamy tasting. read more

More important for staff to fight over who got to go on break next than pay any attention to customers. Super lame

Wonderful iced latte and the breakfast sandwiches are surprisingly amazing. I had egg, bacon and cheese on an English muffin and it tasted very fresh and delicious. There is nice seating outside and the service is friendly and fast. Great neighborhood coffee spot. read more
