The interior (and exterior) is clean and well-maintained. The bathroom was spotless. I believe this shop is an offshoot of the Kaldi's brand. The line can get pretty long but the two baristas working on this day were strong and able to get people in and out. Service was efficient and friendly, but they do show warmer interactions with people who are clearly regulars. Can't be mad at it. I got a strawberry matcha latte and a bacon/egg/cheese which apparently comes on a bagel and isn't customizable at all. Matcha was good -- typical more than anything. The sandwich was pre-made slop. Fake egg, limp bacon, flavorless and doughy bagel. I would have skipped on this entirely had I known they were going to grab a bag from their grab-n-go section and put it in a microwave. Totally not worth $9. Skip unless you're starving and simply need the calories. Luckily they offer a discount for anyone who works in Ponce City Market, which is sweet and made me feel better about that horrible sandwich. It's a great place to sit and people watch if you can manage to grab a seat.

Pretty small seating area with a few tables (there's a detached, covered patio that's larger)

I was actually expecting it to be hard on the outside (like chocolate), but I was also delighted with this. It has a sweet, tangy flavor. My husband took a bite and hated it. More for me! He got a small green tea sponge cake ($8) that we ate while on the road. Not too sweet, which is what he prefers. It was good too!

Traffic was pretty heavy that morning, and when I finally pulled up, I didn't see an open space right away. For a second, I thought about leaving, but I'm glad I didn't. Parking is actually pretty easy once you know the options--there's a garage nearby and street parking too. As soon as I walked in, I knew this was the kind of place I'd be excited to work from. I ordered a matcha latte and spotted the perfect seat by the window--it felt like it was waiting for me. The vibe was calm and creative, with just the right energy for working or people-watching along the BeltLine. The music was on point too, though it really depends on who's working--some days the playlist is an A+. My only real issue? The outlets. They were there, but during my first few visits, the ones at the booths didn't work. Maybe that's been fixed by now, but at the time it was the only thing that missed the mark. Still, this spot easily makes my list of favorite places to post up for a few hours. Between the matcha, the ambiance, and the overall vibe--it's an easy yes for me.

This place is great! The free wifi and comfortable seating make it a great place to get emails and work done. They have really nice, local artwork up on the walls and it's so affordable if you find something you just have to have. (I have multiple times..Christmas gifts). The staff is very friendly and can make a great drink! Sometimes I even ask them to invent something for me...I've never been disappointed. They also have sodas, pastries, chicken and tuna salad and snacks. The atmosphere and friendly staff make it great getaway! There's a thrift store attached too.

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.

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 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.
