    Been here twice and each time was amazing! From the service to the drinks to the pastries! There's space to work or relax and enjoy your coffee. I love that parking is free. It's relaxing inside, great music and chill vibes! My go to coffee shop to work from!

    Such a gem of a find. Visiting the area and in desperate need of coffee because jet lag is hitting hard. Stumbled upon spot and the vibes are perfect. Jackie took our order and greeted us as we walked in. Mercedes made the drinks and brought them out to where we'd were sitting. Ordered the light skin Keisha and the cold world. Both are good. Just a note, if you enjoy a coffee on the sweeter side, you'll want the light skin Keisha. Honestly, I wish there was a spot like this where I'm from. Comfy seating, kind staff, and good drinks. Just great vibes.

    Love it here ! Tea was amazing I got the new new as I am not a coffee drinker. Then I had the salmon and lox it was sooo good. I loved the atmosphere cute cafe to catch up with someone with or get some work down. Bomb play list ! Will definitely be back to support

    Owners are in the back waving!

    This is an extremely nice establishment! My mother and I are in town visiting family and needed caffeine. I found the shop on Yelp and decided to stop by. The owners were so welcoming, the vibe was on point, and the coffee was delicious! Highly recommend this shop!!

    For me, this was a 3.5 star experience, so I rounded up to 4. I met up with a friend here to check out Black Coffee and have a soul-soothing catch up chat. I arrived a little early and had time to explore the menu and talk through my order decision with the staff. Even though there were a handful of people sitting at tables working, I was the only person needing to order so the staff took time to engage me, answer my questions, and walk me through some of the menu items. The vibes are quintessentially cultured from the decor to the music to the patrons. We perched on a couch and sat for almost three hours, sharing pictures, swapping stories, and verbally dreaming forward. In that time, our orders were delivered to us and another customer who was ear hustling a bit came over to network with us. It was a good time. The snag I ran into was trying to order food. I'd intended to have both a hot drink and food, but they were out of many food items and ingredients at the time I ordered. I ultimately went with the Brown Skin Girl (made hot with oat milk) and an avocado toast. They were out of arugula, which is one of the standard ingredients. I was fine with this as I don't love arugula so asked them to make it anyway. I wanted to upgrade to the version that has lox and egg, but they were out of the salmon too. The coffee drink was delicious but I'd skip the toast next time. It was quite a skimpy serving for the price ($13.99); see picture for context. When it was served to me, I requested plasticware but they were also out of that. Through it all, the staff was excellent. The restroom was clean and well-stocked. There is a shared parking lot with other businesses, and there was plenty of parking at the time I went (mid-day and mid-week). Tl;dr -- the vibes and specialty coffee are excellent, the food prices are too high for the product, the staff is attentive and informative, its a comfortable place to hang out to catch up with friends or on work

    A nice warm coffee shop in Atlanta with free parking and free wifi. They have a variety of coffee, tea & food that's delicious. I know matcha is going crazy right now they have a decent matcha here called Cash Money. Their Lightskin Keisha espresso is delicious it's my new favorite drink from here. The service is great, they hold different type of events here and it's black owned!

    This is such a nice place to work or meet up with friends to grab a coffee! We came in on a Tuesday morning and worked for a couple hours. There were plenty of plugs everywhere which is always a plus! Different type of seating throughout. We both really enjoyed our lattes! They weren't overall sweet but delivered the profile described on the menu. I also loved the handwritten encouraging notes on the cup ! Such a cute touch!

    This coffee shop, aptly named, is designed for us and by us. It offers an intimate atmosphere with a menu curated by black culture. I visited for an open mic night and had an incredible time enjoying performances by local black artists

    When I was doing a hills4atl event for Juneteenth, I saw that Black Coffee had a stand!!! I was so excited. They had their light skin keisha and the new new, along with drip coffee. Their two samples were life changers. I had the light skin keisha (it's like an iced lavender vanilla latte with honey drizzle, so good). The new new was like an iced passion fruit sweetened green tea. It was extremely refreshing. Please give this coffee shop some love because their coffee and drinks are a 10/10

    Airiel J.

    I do love this place! I will happily pay over $20 for a Light skin Kiesha and ATL toast hold the egg and salmon please. I haven't found an avocado toast anywhere that matches it. Service is not fast, but you know what they say--fast food ain't good and good food ain't fast. There's a nice cozy vibe for you while you wait and you can call orders in too (doesn't always help with speed either tho).

    Black Coffee Atlanta is such an aesthetically pleasing and creative place to be. They have really cute names for their coffee, espresso, & tea options. There's also a small section of light bites to enjoy. Highly recommend the Cash Money Matcha!!!! The cinnamon & vanilla twist really set it off!!! They have wifi and lots of seating if you're a remote worker or just want to hang out and catch a vibe!

    The coffees are very different. I love the aesthetic. I felt at home. I felt I could be there and create. The service was good. The only reason why I gave it four stars is because the wait time was extremely long from what I could tell. they're a small business And they have limited seating. I'm really excited to see them expand.

I didn't know this, but you can apparently bring dogs inside the coffee shop! I only knew this when a staff brought out our order and we had our dogs with us. They even gave them little pup cups to enjoy. Their prices are a bit on the pricier side, but I've loved everything here. It was my first time having their Apple and granola yogurt bowl and it hit the spot. Their breakfast biscuits are delicious too.

I could taste the brown sugar and maple without it overpowering the matcha, though it was very sweet so I was only able to drink about half of it. They are located under an apartment complex right next to the BeltLine so it's very walkable if you live in the area. There is free parking in the lot but it was pretty full on a Sunday morning around 10:30am. You can also find free street parking but that was pretty limited too. It's a large space with a nice size outdoor seating area. Inside you have a lot of seating options so if the front area is full definitely check out the back section. It was a little dark inside but the space was comfortable with a decent noise level that allowed you to actually have a conversation without screaming. There was no wait when I arrived. They offer sweet bakery items, including a vegan option as well as savory items on their menu. The service had a strange energy though and looked like there might have been some tension among the staff. I knew it had nothing to do with me so I didn't take it personally but the energy felt a bit heavy. Overall, I plan on returning before the end of the month to try another one of their autumn flavors.

There's a steady traffic of people going in and out. The staff are welcoming and pleasant. I got an iced honey lavender latte with oat milk and slice of the pistachio cardamom cake. The latte was ok but the cake was phenomenal. The latte had a decent flavor but it wasn't strong. Plus it tasted very grainy and milk-heavy, overpowering the coffee. My slice of cake was so moist and delicious without being too sweet. It was perfect. I'd definitely come back again more so for the desserts than the coffee.

Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area... just be prepared to leave with more pastries than you planned.

I didn't see any pastries in the display case so if you want food you probably need to get there early. They do offer seasonal flavor specials so I went with the black sesame latte with oat milk ($6.75). The service was friendly! My drink came out much faster than expected, no complaints at all, I was just surprised in a good way. The coffee was smooth with zero bitter taste and the black sesame provided a rich creamy flavor (don't forget to stir your drink so you get the full profile). Parking was easy as well; they have a free lot right next to the building with and it was packed but still had several open spots.

I'm thinking about joining the coffee club and they also have monthly events too. This is a must try when you are in the A.

When I arrived, my order hadn't even been placed on their end -- they had to enter it into the system while I waited. Not the end of the world since I wasn't in a rush, but the online ordering communication needs work. The bigger issue was the food itself. I paid a $2 upcharge for chicken, which turned out to be extremely salty and overseasoned -- I needed a lot of water to get through it. The eggs were clearly microwaved, not fresh scrambled -- rubbery texture, uneven color, watery on top. For a $20 bowl (chicken, potatoes, a few peppers, and microwaved eggs), I expected better quality, especially on the eggs. Disappointing experience for the price. Won't be coming back here. If I can get a refund back right now, would.

I like that Downtown College Park has free parking, with several spaces close to the café as well as a lot behind the building. I arrived around 12:30pm and there was only one other customer inside. The space is beautifully decorated in shades of pink, and the seating is comfortable with a sofa and six bistro-style tables with chairs. They had coffee house music playing on the TV, making it the perfect atmosphere to enjoy a coffee. The café was very clean, and the young lady welcomed me as soon as I walked in and chatted for a moment. They had several syrup flavors, including pumpkin as a seasonal option. I ordered a small 12oz pumpkin latte with oat milk for $7.25 and received a $5 discount with the coffee coupon. The pumpkin spice syrup and oat milk were both an additional dollar each, so it's a pretty expensive cup of coffee for a syrup that isn't made in-house. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was perfect, but the coffee was so-so. The same experience I had last time. The coffee taste was smooth, but I don't get a strong taste of the flavor I selected; it's very weak. If I were to come back, I would have to pay for an extra pump of syrup, or I may just try a pastry next time. It wouldn't be my first choice for coffee, but I will continue to support them if I'm in the area!
