I came here with my sister after a workout class nearby to cool down and do a bit of work on our laptops. It's seems to be a fairly chill spot (although we came on a random Thursday morning!), which we loved! I'm actually not much of a coffee drinker, but I love the vibes of a coffee shop so that was a nice plus! I ordered their mango smoothie, which was really refreshing and delicious! I highly recommend checking this place out if you're nearby or simply visiting Alliance Theatre! Pro tip: park on the street on 15th street if you don't want to pay for parking! read more

Refuge Coffee - Midtown - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Grabbed a coffee here before a meeting & the service was great. I coffee was fine & beans seemed fresh. Lots of people working, so seems like a good a spot to work! read more

Very cute coffee shop located near the art museum. The baristas were very friendly and quick. I also appreciate how they are run by refugees and continue to support others. I got a lavender honey latte. It was a reasonable price and tastes exactly like I expected. They also have pastries and lunch items available. read more

A friend told me about this spot when I was visiting Atlanta - ended up going every single morning of the trip!! Fantastic coffee & even better prices. I am counting down the days until I am back in January! Their bakery was also delicious and staff was so friendly. I loved their little booths, felt private but cozy! read more

It's just what I need for a focused, and productive morning. Booths and a working bar that faces outward toward the Woodruff Arts Center courtyard. Plenty of outdoor seating, and outlets o' plenty. I honestly couldn't ask for more when I want to set up my laptop and have a solo or group work date. The staff is very kind, too. I love knowing that refuge has a job training program that actually empowers their employees. Then of course the chai and the pastries are on point. While I don't deviate from the usual very often, everything I've had has been reliably tasty. Without question, they'll see me again. Pro tip: Nab some street parking if you can. It's the cheaper option. read more

I've been to Refuge Coffee more than 5 times now! I'm such a regular and realized that it's a time for a review lol. The staff is always nice and make great coffee consistently! Their matcha is also very good! I usually add a lavender shot to my matcha, which make the drink even better! My boyfriend and I have great memories here. I also like that they have private booths so that I can do work sometimes. Overall, I encourage you to pay them a visit! read more

Ease of ordering, yummy snacks ! Enjoy my quarterly visit to the high museum and found myself hungry. What a great place to stop for a light bite and some coffee or tea. Fast and friendly service. Plenty of indoor seating as well as outdoor tables. The prices are fair considering we were in Midtown. I'll be back. read more

I love the mission behind this shop but their coffee is not the best in my book. The staff were nice but there was also only 2 people in for the weekend, I think they are busier on the weekdays. I think this is a great set up for people to be able to set up and get some work done. There is mostly booths for seating so it is somewhat private but it isn't the place I'd go for the best coffee in the area. They do have food options from pastries to lunch salad and snack foods, it's really nice to have this shop in an area near all the office buildings in the area. read more

Cute little spot that's hidden but very close to a lot of places. They had pastries and snacks. Lots of coffee and drink options. Didn't wait long at all to get our drink. Minimal seating inside but there are a lot of spots to sit outside. read more

What a delight to have supported this business who's also giving back to the community by providing job mentorship and training to refugees and immigrants. As an immigrant myself, I would 100% support this place. It's conveniently located just a few steps from High Museum as well. Not a lot of indoor seating but I grabbed and yo my coffee. I ordered one of their seasonal items - Dulce de leche cappuccino and it hit the spot. read more

Refuge Coffee - Midtown - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Refuge is a cute little coffee shop attached to the High Museum. I felt like grabbing a nice iced latte out, so I walked over to check them out. This place is a no frills kind of coffee shop, but honestly, the Lavender Latte I ordered was perfect. Just the right amount of syrup to milk/coffee ratio. I didn't get a chance to read all of the signage, but my understanding is that Refuge is attached to a non-profit mission, which I'm always a fan of. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Next time I come back, I look forward to trying a pastry, and I plan to bring my laptop for work. read more

Refuge Coffee - Midtown - Lavender Iced Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Staff is great and location is very accessible. I like coming here after my class at Alliance Theater to get a croissant. They have different types of lattes and pastries, in using the mushroom coffee. The almond croissant is delicious! Prices are on par with the fact that it is in midtown, but not too expensive. read more

I'd heard a lot about Refuge over the last couple of years, but I'd never had the chance to stop by any of their locations until one Sunday afternoon when my husband and I happened to be hanging out and walking around in the area. First of all, I love their mission to provide job training and development opportunities for refugees and other immigrants--and that we get to play a small role by supporting their business. This location is very small right next to the High, so it's a nice option for grab-and-go, especially for those who may work in the area and want to walk and make one stop for coffee and a quick bite. I noticed a few food items from A Daily Chew, a local restaurant, in the refrigerator and everything sounded delicious. But we were going to be eating soon, so I didn't get anything. There were just a few people in line ahead of me. I ordered a large hazelnut latte, and the wait time was reasonable considering my place in line. The taste of the coffee beans wasn't the best I've had/as strong as I would have liked, but it was a good cup of coffee, the staff members were kind, the service was quick, and the establishment was clean. A good experience overall. Thank you! read more

Tried the chagaccino- very good! Tasted just like a latte. Went when it was pretty crowded, and service was still very quick! Highly recommend read more

Refuge Coffee - Midtown - Tried the Chagaccino, very good!! Tasted just like a latte. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I ate here a few weeks ago during UPS Second Sunday. Luckily the line was not long at all, and there was still seating when my friends and I were there. We did sit outside on the patio (despite scorching temperatures), but they do have an awning so there is a little shade. I just got an everything bagel with cream cheese. It's nothing to the likes of Brooklyn Bagels in Ansley Park, but it served its purpose - a.k.a. my hungry belly! read more

Had an unexpected day in Atlanta due to a late night cancelled flight, and this place was exactly what I needed. Ordered a mocha latte and chocolate croissant and enjoyed them at the outdoor tables. They were both excellent! (The chicken salad sandwich I got to go was also very good!) read more

My partner and I are on a mission to try all of the coffee spots in Atlanta. Refuge had pretty decent coffee although mine didn't taste as good as his even though we got the same thing. We both got oatmilk lattes but mine tasted a little watered down and slightly burnt. His was delicious though. We also got an almond croissant which was pretty tasty. I think mine may have been a slight fluke so I'm interested to see what their other drinks taste like. The coffee shop is in a cute little area of Midtown right next to the High Museum of Art. There is plenty of seating outside and it would be a really great area for coffee especially on a day with nice weather. Be warned, there is not a lot of parking around so it may take a little bit to find some street parking. read more

This is the best coffee shop to work / study at - the super tall booths are perfect if you need to concentrate. Their coffee is lovely and they've got a ton of great specialty drinks. Also s/o to literally all of their baristas... everyone's so nice! read more

I don't drink coffee, so this review is purely for the chai--and it did not disappoint. It's got a nice kick to it, with strong clove notes and a bold, spicy profile. You can choose whether to add sweetener, which I appreciate since it lets you control the balance. If you're a fan of spiced chai that doesn't hold back, this one's worth trying. Can't speak to the coffee, but the chai alone makes it worth a stop. read more

Great Chagaccino and good food/snack options. Good service! nice sitting area right outside the museum!

The space is tiny but cute. I got an iced latte with lavender. It's not too sweet. It has a slight aftertaste to the coffee, which is why I gave it 4 stars. It's very convenient to some of the museums in the area! read more

Midtown needed a great local coffee shop, and Refuge delivered! But this isn't any coffee shop -- Refuge Coffee Co. is a non-profit run by and for refugees and immigrants. They provide job training for recently resettled individuals, and are a wonderful addition to the Midtown community. Located at the intersection of 16th and Peachtree, tucked between the Woodruff Arts Center and High Museum of Art, this cafe is the perfect stop before or after exploring the area. Their hours are 7am-5pm and the vibe is always welcoming. It was moderately busy when I visited at 12pm on a Saturday. The shop itself has an organic modern, yet industrial feel, with wooden booths, mirrored ceilings with neon lights, and pampas grass accent pieces on the tables. It's very well designed for working, studying, or just grabbing a bite to eat, as the booths are secluded and the counter seats look out on art sculptures. The music when I visited was soft pop, which was great and not distracting. I had a medium chai latte ($6.18) and chocolate croissant ($6). People will say this is expensive, but considering a Starbucks drink is usually over $5 for lesser quality (and a less heartwarming mission), I think Refuge is priced correctly. My latte was phenomenal and the chocolate croissant was large, flakey, and hit the spot. I appreciated that they warmed it up for me, creating an ooey-gooey chocolate center -- just the way I was hoping! TL;DR: if you're looking for a great coffee shop in Midtown, look no further! I will definitely be back for more pastries and to try the coffee itself. read more

Beautiful place with an inspiring message. I went there early morning with a friend to grab coffee but also ended up grabbing a chocolate croissant. Both were delicious! read more

I first learned about Refuge Coffee because their food truck would stop by my Church on Sunday mornings. When I learned they now had a Midtown location we knew WE HAD TO GO. And we loved it! Thoughts and Recommendations: - First of all, their mission is beautiful. They provide job training and mentoring service to immigrants and refugees in Atlanta. Who doesn't want to support that?? - Ambiance is modern, clean and cozy. They really put thought into the details! From the light fixtures, wooden seating, to the floor to ceiling windows everything is lovely! - Coffee and teas for everyone! We've ordered regular black coffee and dirty chai's with oat milk and the drinks are always perfectly brewed. - Great work space! My husband spent a work afternoon here and had no issues with the wifi for conference calls and said there wasn't much noise either. So, if you're looking to change up the WFH routine look no further. - Service is wonderful. The staff and baristas have always been friendly and welcoming. We are big BIG fans of good coffee and pretty coffee shops and therefore a big fan of Refuge Coffee. Highly recommend! read more

Love what these guys are doing ! They employee refugees and focus on serving a product that creates a positive impact for their community. The coffee is solid. I only had the regular drip brew but it was a good, unpretentious experience. If you are looking for fancier, expensive coffee, you won't find pour over coffees here but for no frills it's perfect and the coffee is good. read more

Nice spot! I come all the time to do remote work. I'd recommend a visit, especially if you work close by or are visiting the high. The cafe is kind of tiny but I've never had issues getting a seat, just something to consider if you want to go with a lot of friends read more

Cute café. Nice pastries and coffee. Nice outdoor seating facing the museum and cozy booths inside.

Happy to support the ethos behind the business: "As you enjoy this drink you are providing: A competitive wage, quality job training, and mentorship for a resettled refugee or immigrant who lives right here in Atlanta's backyard." And it was tasty too! read more
