    Such a gem of a find. Visiting the area and in desperate need of coffee because jet lag is hitting hard. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Stumbled upon spot and the vibes are perfect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Comfy seating, kind staff, and good drinks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just great vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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!

    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

    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!

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

    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).

    Cash CA$H Money Matcha
    Alena B.

    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.

The croissants are perfectly flaky and buttery, and you can tell the ingredients are high quality and thoughtfully used. The vibe is cozy and very "Atlanta" -- relaxed, a little trendy, and a great place to meet a friend or grab a quick coffee. Service is always friendly and efficient even when it's busy. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area... just be prepared to leave with more pastries than you planned.

    Super cute and yummy coffee shop…read more I came here on a Friday morning around 10a.m. It was active inside with about 3 people ahead of me but the line moves quick. 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. They have some indoor seating and a cozy table on the sidewalk just outside the front door.

    Always a good stop by the airport -…read more Pros - the minute you arrive they're always courteous to seat you. Today i went and was early, seating was my choice. I ordered the chicken and waffles - didn't want wings so she substituted it with a breast. The breast was seasoned to perfection, topped on my waffle and yummy is the word. Cons - normally you get a receipt, that wasn't an option. I didn't ask but she didn't offer since she was kind I didn't want to debate - Misc. - I don't like powder sugar on my waffles and mentioned it so she replaced it - Overall when in town I like to stop at Rosie's - Definitely if you have not been to this location (they don't serve mimosas at this location fyi) must go and dine.

    When I placed my order, the website said 30-45 minutes. I called ahead to check on it and was told…read moreit would be ready in 5 minutes. 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.

    Thursday Night Vibes at Buteco Cafe Thursday night at Buteco…read moreCafe was a total vibe! From the food and coffee to the incredible live music, this turned into one of those evenings where you're glad you came early and stayed late. First, a few things to know about the location. There is a FREE parking lot, which is always a plus. There are also several other businesses across from Buteco. The inside space isn't huge, but it absolutely served its purpose for the evening. There's also an outdoor patio area if you want to enjoy some fresh air. Now, the kitchen setup is pretty cool. The kitchen is actually a parked food truck! You place your order inside, and they send you a text when your food is ready. I ordered the Grilled Cod Fish Taco with Yucca Fries, and everything tasted amazing. The garlic cilantro sauce that came with the fries was SO good that I ended up putting some on my taco too. The bar offers both coffee and crafted cocktails, but I decided to go with a recommendation: an Iced Vietnamese Coffee with caramel flavor. Vietnamese coffee is made with condensed milk, so it had this delicious creamy sweetness. I really enjoyed it and would definitely order it again. But now let's talk about what really brought me to Buteco... THE MUSIC! Jazz singer Julie Dexter was performing with her son, whom she fondly calls "SunSon," on keyboard, along with Josh on drums, plus special guests Thiegan and Jordan on bass guitar. We actually arrived early enough to catch sound check, and it felt like getting a little show before the show! The talent in that room was AMAZING. There were special duets, musicians switching things up, and at one point Josh moved over to the keyboard while his dad got on the drums. It made the evening feel spontaneous and intimate, like we were getting to witness musicians simply enjoying their craft and feeding off one another's energy. By showtime, every seat was filled, and the back of the room was packed with standing guests enjoying the music and vibing right along. The energy was wonderful. Between the live music, tasty food, Vietnamese coffee, outdoor patio and relaxed atmosphere, Buteco Cafe gave me plenty of reasons to return. I'll definitely be checking their page for upcoming events, but I'd also drop by just for some good eats and coffee. Go check it out. It's worth it!
