In an effort to work remotely from new locations, I finally checked out Bolivar Coffee after…read morepassing by so many times and had a wonderful experience. I visited on a weekday afternoon and even before 10am, there were other guests buzzing around this little coffee shop. Bolivar is located within a grocery shopping plaza, meaning they have tons of parking which is always great in ATL. The coffee shop itself is so beautiful! The decor, plants and art all channel Colombia, all by way of Atlanta. There were a few tables inside and outside, allowing space for those there to work, chat and lounge if desired. It was really easy for me to find a comfy seat next to an outlet to settle at for a few hours. I started with a hot latte and a Pastel conquistador and was so pleased by both. I didn't even realize that I had sped through my first cup of coffee before I was onto the next. The ladies behind the counter were helpful in sharing their favorites as I decided on my next orders across my 5 hour visit. Each order was better than the last. If you've been putting off a visit, don't wait any longer!

Been seeing a lot of buzz about Bolivar lately, so was in the area by the Smyrna location and…read moredecided to give them a try. Inside: Inside is really cute and cozy. A little on the small side with minimal seating, but they also have some patio seating at the front. However, I do believe they just opened a new location in Marietta in a much larger space. Service: No complaints about the service. Despite the busyness, I didn't stand in line for anymore than 5 - 7 minutes and probably waited less than 10 minutes for my order. Pricing: Pricing was very reasonable, with drink pricing ranging from about $4 - $8. From what I could see for food options, prices were all under $15. Food/Drinks: Regrettably, I skipped the food this time and only tried an iced matcha. They had a summer version called the Tropi Coco, which combined toasted coconut, coconut milk, and coffee or matcha. However, I don't think the Matcha version included toasted coconut, at least not the one I tried. Unfortunately, the drink didn't quite hit the mark for me. I mostly tasted coconut milk, with some Matcha flavor, but the flavors didn't blend well. Perhaps it was a matter of the ratio. My sister ordered the same drink and experienced the same issue, although hers seemed to have even less Matcha than mine. While I'm not sure I'd get the Matcha again, I'm still open to trying some other menu items. The empanadas and tasty looking Colombian treats were calling my name, so I'd like to go back and give them a try! I'd imagine if you're a coffee lover you'd want to give their Colombian coffee a try though!

Parking-- don't park at the law firm Mon-Friday; on the weekend, your best option for not feeling too claustrophobic in their parking lot. The line is out the door-- always a good sign. Although it was before noon (before noon = coffee), I opted for something lighter. Tea- worth the 4 min brew. The flavors are en pointe and I got an iced tea -- sooo refreshing on a hot day. Peach Serenity, indeed. Everyone was getting a burrito. Definitely a revisit.

They were out of all burritos so my husband and I got an egg and cheese biscuit and a chicken biscuit. He eats everything and didn't even touch the chicken biscuit and only took one bite of the egg and cheese. The pastry was also stale and oddly chewy. If I was nearby, I'd probably stop in again for the coffee; as it stands, I'll never make that 30+ min drive again after knowing what the food options are.

FINALLY a brunch restaurant that understands the "crispy edges" pancake. This was probably the best…read morepancake I've had in the Atlanta area. Literally cooked to perfection. My son and I shared the breakfast tasting which is basically a combination of all their breakfast staples. I would definitely recommend for first-timers as a way to try a little bit of everything. It came with a choice of a pancake or French toast. My son wanted the French toast so I added a pancake on the side. After tasting both, pancakes were definitely better than the french toast. Trust me. The restaurant is very small so we had to sit outside on their community patio seating. It was a HOT day in September so thankfully they provided fans to sit at the tables which made it more comfortable. I would highly encourage making a reservation for your visit. Overall I cannot recommend this place enough and I cannot wait to come back.

The people behind the counter were friendly and patient, and gave us great recommendations. There was a nice "mom and pop" store feel. Our kids each got a custard in a cone, which was the perfect size. My husband ordered a peanut butter smoothie/shake which tasted better than most nut-heavy shakes I've ever had. I'm just not a huge peanut butter fan. The experience was nice that we would gladly go back again. I'd want to try one of their acai bowls or even some coffee. I like that there are so many different offerings.

We went on a Tuesday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all but the place is VERY tiny, only 2 tables…read morealong a thin walkway & 2 more tables in the front so definitely not coming here to hang out. The menu is overwhelming. I think we had to spend 3-5 minutes just trying to figure out what all was on it. Along with this, the prices are high so you don't want to try just anything I got the gulabo ($8 for M) with chai and maybe I should've done espresso. It was the sweetest drink I've ever tasted but I'm the person that chooses 25% sweet at tiny bubbles or no added sweetener in my matcha at Starbucks. The (owner) asked if I'd like my drink made differently and I said no because I'm not sure they could unsweeten this one. I believe the chai is from a torani syrup not freshly brewed but I could be mistaken..I saw a chai syrup so that's why I assumed this. Either way, I brewed more tea at home and just mixed it in as a "creamer" and then it was perfect The drink did taste like a galab jamun which was wild and there was even one in the drink which my toddler loved ha It was a cool novelty drink. I'd probably try the popcorn one if I came back for giggles or an ube bowl - I'd definitely have to examine the menu more The bowls all come with banana and granola and honey so you don't have to add additional toppings unless you want them. Every drink / food has add ons which sounds like Burger King have it your way vibes but it was just overwhelming for us. I'm not even sure I got pictures of all the menus They roast and sell their own coffee for $22 for each bag - you can see the size in my photos They also have some baked goods They also make / sell custard They also have popping bobas They also have Mexican style mangonadas They also have some Dubai chocolate type drink for $16 Frappes Lattes Smoothies A million other items which is cool for novelty but I'm not sure how it'll work as a long term business model. That's a lot to keep on hand It's in a strip mall so there's plenty of parking The owner was very friendly and had a lot of information which was great and definitely added to the experience Overall, it was an interesting experience. I wouldn't go there all of the time but maybe once in awhile for something experimental

One of my new go-to coffee spots in Atlanta!…read more I tried the thai tea matcha, the black sesame latte, and the Vietnamese iced latte! I really enjoyed all of them! The Black sesame cream topping was delicious! The warmed up butter croissant was also tasty! Buttery and flaky, I was pleasantly surprised as I had rather low expectations of their pastries. The Vietnamese iced latte was the sweetest but I didn't find it overbearing. I love their unique flavors and will definitely be frequenting Coffee Box. Owner is super friendly and they have a super cute selection of stickers! (also have some plant fertilizer/clippings free for customers to take in to-go bags) Parking is plentiful, and while there isn't any indoor seating, there are lots of tables outside. The seating is covered which is nice and there is also a fan so it's not too hot. Overall, I highly recommend the Coffee Box! A hidden gem in Atlanta! Delicious coffee and pastries!

I can see parking being an issue on days that all of the businesses are open. However, I arrived close to closing time and had no problem parking directly in front of the shop. When I entered I immediately appreciated the decor. It gives tropical rainforest vibes! When I appreciated the counter I was greeted. There were two staff present. The gentleman appears to be a more seasoned employee and the female appeared to be in training. After looking at the menu I opted for a pistachio latte with oat milk and empanadas. I was told that they would be closing shortly. I believe I had about 30 min prior to closing time. This was more than enjoy time for me to drink a drink and eat my food. As such, I opted to dine in. The empanadas came out first. They were not my style. The pastry part was more like a corn bread consistency. I am accustomed to to emphasis being more of a dough like consistency. Additionally they tasted like something you just pull out the freezer and warm up. I would not order them again. When the drink arrived I had to confirm it was pistachio because I saw chocolate everywhere. The staff immediately recalled that I did not want whole milk and told me he had to re- make my drink. When it arrived for the second time the presentation was the same- it looked like a chocolate drink and not pistachio. When I took a sip I was shocked to find chunks of pistachios in the drink. I had to drink and eat the drink- interesting concept. I will say that the coffee taste on its own may be okay- however, collectively I was not a fan of this drink. Overall I do not have the best experience with the food or drink from this spot. I do give kudos for the ambiance and the service!
