There is paid parking in front of the shop, a parking garage across the street, and a few side parking spaces that I noticed during my visit. It's a great spot to meet up with friends. My order was taken by the owner, who recommended the shop's customer favorite sandwich and it did not disappoint. It paired perfectly with my caramel iced coffee, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I also love that they have books available for customers to browse and enjoy. As a nice finishing touch, when you leave the coffee shop, you're greeted with a positive message encouraging you to keep grinding. It's a small detail that leaves a lasting impression

Got a chai, latte, and breakfast burrito on a weekend morning. The chai was okay with good…read moresweetness but lacking on the spice. The breakfast burrito took quite long to be made. However, it wasn't mushy/congealed and could taste the different items in it like eggs. I couldn't taste the hashbrowns as well, probably because it infused with the other ingredients. I wish it were crunchy or crispier for hashbrowns because that would've been a good texture in the burrito. The burrito also could've had some spice to it or even sauce to add depth. There is limited cafe designated parking in the lot.

This is my second time here, and I was so excited to see that they were part of the coffee crawl. This coffee is perfect, with no complaints at all. It's deliciously smooth, and I can taste the lavender flavor without needing an extra pump ($8 plus $0.50 for oat milk). Service is always friendly! I really like that they serve food and pastries and have vegan options. I ordered The Outkast sandwich ($8.50) made vegan with Chao cheese. There is plenty of seating inside. It's a shotgun style building, so the seating is laid out along one wall. There is also a small table outside in the front. I went in ready to listen to my own music but their playlist was so good that I just jammed to it for 20 minutes before putting my headphones on. When I went in around 10am it was pretty crowded but there were still a few tables available. It's a great spot to get work done. For parking, there is free street parking as well as a free lot for the area next to an abandoned building. I definitely recommend stopping by for coffee. This was my second visit and the food, drinks, and service are consistently great!

The turkey bacon was hot and plentiful; however I was underwhelmed by the croissant. The Atlanta Dream iced latte accompanied my meal. I was warned that it was sweet and Ooh wee was she right!

Stepping inside, I was greeted by stunning decor, sunlight streaming in, and the hum of passing cars. I ordered the parfait -- the menu was straightforward with clear descriptions, so I knew exactly what I was getting. I enjoyed my meal while having a meeting, feeling completely at ease. The friendly lady behind the counter and a gentleman offered us a taste of their cold brew, and to our surprise, we could distinguish between an 18-hour brew and a quick one. They explained the process, and it turns out one was from an owner and the other from the manager -- both warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. I wouldn't hesitate to come back and spread love here. The ambiance is fantastic, with stunning artwork decorating the space. I even caught a glimpse of a soccer game during my meeting, feeling perfectly comfortable. This spot truly lifts my spirits, and I look forward to supporting Black entrepreneurs in the future.

I don't think I could've bought anything without his help. --Location/Parking-- Corner building right off the highway. My only grip is the parking. It is not easy to find parking and get in and out since this is a major highway where cars and going fast or stopped, stuck in the red light. --Ambience-- Coffee shop with three big rows of bench. If you are living in the area, this is a great spot to hang out. --Service/Staff-- Shout out to the cashier/barista that was working there. I didn't know they were cashless until I was trying to order. --Products-- I didn't see much options, but they had limited baked goods, I went on a Saturday afternoon which is past their prime hours, which I could understand that they would not be bringing out more or trying to make more baked goods. --Capacity-- Capacity to hold 50 plus people in the shop, but where would they park. The conflicts of O4W. --Overall-- Great coffee shop, I will be back if I am in the area, but the location is difficult to make it easy to stop on in.

The ambiance was cozy with comfortable seating. I would definitely recommend it for the next time you are on the Southside trail of the Beltline or looking to enjoy a great drink at a coffee shop.

This food did not sit under a hot plate for hours. It was freshly prepared and even had a polite sprinkling of parsley for flair. Unique vibe thats neither too much or not enough. Honestly, perfect for a chill late morning breakfast in the city. We love predictability when hunger strikes, so I'll be back. A little pricey for breakfast + coffee at $30, super awkward tip request, but not so bad that I would deduct points.

That said, the aesthetic feels less Buckingham Palace and more whimsical London antique shop -- charming & eclectic. I ordered the blueberry lavender matcha and a breakfast plate. The menu names were definitely on brand, but not quite catchy enough for me to remember them later. Both were solid, though, and hit the spot. Service was a highlight. The cashier really leaned into the accent and took the time to thoroughly explain the menu, which made the whole experience feel more immersive and welcoming. Parking was easy on an early weekday afternoon -- always a win. The space works well for small parties, but be prepared: tables are small and seating is close together. One tip: avoid sitting upstairs in Eden. It's noticeably warmer than the rest of the restaurant, and you'll likely leave smelling like breakfast. Overall, a fun, themed spot with great service. But I don't think I'll be back.

The staff was super friendly and kept everything moving without making the experience feel rushed. Just a heads-up: parking is street parking only, so you may have to circle around a bit depending on when you visit. Even with the crowd, my order came out quickly and the overall experience was smooth. I got the Sunday morning iced and the chicken sausage egg and cheese biscuit both were delish. If a coffee shop can handle a packed house and still give friendly, fast service, that's a win in my book! Definitely worth checking out.
