    My friend and I rushed to make the 4pm close barely to try this place! We wanted to try filter coffee but they were all done. We got the much recommended gulab jamun latte and the cardamom coriander bun. The bun was so good! Pricey at $6 - I'd recommend this to try. The latte - is deceptive. The name suggests gulab jamun but it basically just adds the rose and pistachio flavors. It tastes good and it's not extremely sweet. But do not order this to experience the gulab jamun flavor.

    You've got the check this place out! The pastries are out of this world and their coffee is excellent they make their chai fresh daily!

    I grew up drinking a lot of chai. It's been a core morning and afternoon ritual in my desi family for as long as I can remember (and yes, twice a day, every day). That mix of cinnamon, cardamom, sugar, and milk is not just delicious; the aroma alone feels like home. No matter how many times I try, I still can't quite recreate my mom's version. Even so, I've never met a cup of chai from an Indian restaurant that I didn't like. So, when I heard about Raani's, I had to give it a try. The chai here ($4.50) didn't win me over. For my taste, it needed more sugar, and the flavor felt a little watered down. I usually love cardamom, but the amount in my cup was overpowering. It wasn't a bad chai, just very different from what I'm familiar with. What did steal the show for me was the Cardamom Coriander Bun ($6). It's on the smaller side, but the flavor makes the price worth it. The balance of sweetness and spice was spot on, and the bread itself was incredibly soft. I also tried the Kaapi Cake ($6), which was moist with clear notes of chicory coming through. So next time I'm in the area, I might not drop by for chai, but I'll definitely grab a pastry.

    If you're looking for an authentic filter coffee experience, you might be disappointed. I believe they make their coffee in batches. Which is fine. But it lacks the notes of chicory which sets a regular coffee from a filter coffee. Having said that. I do want to give them the appreciation of bringing a beverage cherished by everyone from back home to the city of Atlanta (not north Atlanta). The parking was limited but we were still able to grab a spot despite the busy Saturday morning.

    Had a great experience at Raani this weekend! The space on the inside is very well curated. It's bright, open, has plenty of natural light, and ample seating. Seating includes a large shared table which is suitable for studying and a 2 counters with outlets for laptop charging. There are also games/toys for kids and some books as well. The Madras Kaapi is very authentic to what you can find in South India. It isn't sweet and has a deep flavor which distinguishes it from other similar preparations. They also offer more typical preparations which I have yet to try. Later, I tried the chai and found it to be very authentic as well. The owner was also working that morning and was very friendly and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience there and can't wait to be back. Atlanta has gained an excellent coffee shop that coffee and chai lovers will enjoy for years to come.

    Raani recently opened up in EAV, and I was so excited to try it. I visited Raani a little while after they opened Monday morning, and everyone there was super welcoming. There was ample parking in the lot by Raani. This establishment is absolutely beautiful, and I really loved all the Indian/South Asian decor that was incorporated into the space. I ordered the chai and masala cheddar biscuit, which were both delicious. I was a bit skeptical when they said they use oat milk in the chai, but I was super impressed and that's coming from someone who is a complete snob when it comes to chai. So grateful for this lovely addition to the EAV area, and I cannot wait to visit again, especially to try the kaapi!

    I stopped in to Raani which is a roaster and coffee shop in the old Hodgepodge. It is a cute little spot with several coffee options and a small case of baked goods. We opted for a drip coffee, cappuccino (the alternative milk they have is oat), and a chocolate chip cookie. The coffee was tasty and beautiful (I should've gotten a picture of the foam art) and the cookie was fresh, chewy and delicious. Service was friendly, and we are excited to have coffee in this space again. There is one large communal table and a few other tables by the entrance. The space is smaller than the old Hodgepodge since the record loft is in the front, but there is still a decent amount of seating.

    Gulab jamun latte (seasonal)
    Maddie D.

    Sooo so cute. The big windows lit up the interior so well, and it was just sunny and beautiful. The baristas were really sweet, attentive, and complimented my hair. My gulab jamun latte was beautiful as well! It wasn't the sweetest and didn't quite taste like gulab jamun, but I did really get the integrity of the rose flavor, which I appreciated. It was pretty lively in there, and the wifi was good to do my work. If you get the chance, I'd also recommend stopping by the record store next door! I popped in there after Raani closed, and it was really cute and colorful. Both made for quite a pleasant afternoon! I'd definitely come back here :)

    i've been excited to try this new south indian and woman owned business in east atlanta. they offered very unique treats that included specific south indian flavors like cardamom, gulab jamun, chutney, etc. we ordered a lot lol i hardly remember names for everything but we got a chai, gulab jamun latte, tomato and chutney pastry, the golden oatmeal crème pie (vegan) and a curry chickpea type pastry. so good! really loved that they had a lot of seating options from floor seating, tables, group seating etc. loved the huge windows bringing in natural sunlight. and a number of outlets to plug into. great for working and meeting friends in a great location. baristas were kind and helpful.

    Stopped in to grab coffee to go this week. The inside is super cute. We got the gulab jamun latte. So good! They also had some yummy looking pastries. Plenty of parking too!

    Staff is very friendly, the space is cozy and has lots of natural light, and the pastries are phenomenal! I got the cardamom coriander bun and the bread was so tender and bouncy, and the herbal components were very pleasantly aromatic. Such a unique spot in the area and I can't wait to keep coming back!

    Loved this Desi Owned coffee shop. Their filter coffee is nice and made right in front of you. But real star for me is cardamom coriander bun. That was amazing. I reordered that second time. It was extremely soft as well as fragrant but most importantly not overly sweet. Staff is super helpful and nice. The vibe of shop is amazing but they keep limited stocks so plan accordingly.

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.

The handheld comes vegetarian with the option to add protein for an extra couple of dollars. The BLT comes on thick buttered toast, with the slightest hint of garlic and thick beefsteak tomato slices. I think it's really neat that they ensured whether we would want dairy or non-dairy in our chai lattes...kudos for that! Overall, we were full long before we finished our sammies & chai. Plus the personal service, vibe, and great price points...we will definitely be back! BON APPÉTIT

It only takes a few minutes to clean an espresso machine. So dumb. Happy the Bellwood within Plants & Coffee is staying put! Much better attitude, service, and coffee. Joe's has seemingly become too cool for school. :(

While it may appear welcoming and well-run on the surface, that image quickly falls apart when you look at how things operate behind the scenes. I have personally witnessed how the owner, Rahel, treats employees, and it is deeply concerning. As many other reviews have noted, there is a consistent pattern of unprofessionalism, poor communication, and a dismissive, often hostile attitude toward staff. What's most troubling is the disconnect between the public-facing atmosphere and the internal reality. Customers may see a polished environment, but behind that façade are employees who feel uncomfortable being themselves, who are reprimanded unfairly, and who are neither properly valued nor treated with respect and dignity. A business is only as strong as the way it treats its people, and unfortunately, this establishment falls short in that regard. I would STRONGLY encourage others to take this into consideration before choosing to support it.
