    This is such a cute coffee shop that I should have visited a while ago since it's so close to my house. I've passed by here many times on the way to the Suwannee town center and decided to stop in after my morning run. There were already a good amount of people sitting at the tables on the patio around the shop and people at every table when walking in. The counter is right in front, displaying their oatmeal, pastries, and various drinks in the fridge. I ordered two of the seasonal Island Breeze matchas that were prepared within a couple minutes. I don't normally order matcha but I wanted something different than coffee and was pleasantly surprised. It had the perfect sweetness and creaminess to it while still getting a genuine matcha taste. The decor drew me in as well, with pops of color all around the shop. I'd definitely come back here for another seasonal drink and to bring a book or my laptop.

    Cute and convenient coffee shop close to Suwanee town center. I parked in the parking lot right behind the shop. They have a bunch of retail spots. The patio space is great to enjoy coffee and their bakery treats. The coffee shop is pretty busy in the mornings. When I went; there was only 1 person working to take the orders and make the coffee so it may take a few minutes. I got the cortado (10/10) and almond croissant (10/10). Can't wait to try their other food.

    It was my first time checking out the new Suwanee location and it was so cute and cozy! Parking is a little tricky since it's street parking but there are some apartment complexes and even Suwannee town center lots that are not that far away from the shop. The Alpharetta location is much bigger and its easier to find a spot to sit inside. However this place does have some outside seating which would be nice on a warm day. The vibes were a 10/10 & they are pet friendly! I got the beehive latte which was like a spicy honey latte and it was so good 8/10 & also tried the brown sugar matcha latte 7/10. The matcha was really smooth but the taste was very faint. The workers were super friendly and a pleasure to talk to. The interior decorations are all the vibes and so cute, very Instagram worthy. Will be back for another study day!

    I got both a latte and a matcha - would recommend both!! Love the flavors they offer and of course, dairy free options. But the part that stands out about this place is the employees- the employees that work here are like little angels that hug your soul with their kindness. I'm not even a local- and I would come back just to be warmly greeted by this team :)

    One of my faves since moving to GA! The vibes are fun. The baristas always greet me when entering and are super patient if you need a second to look over their seasonal menu. They have tasty drinks and I love that all syrups are made in house :)

    Super cute atmosphere and studying environment! I loved the vibes of this cafe. Unfortunately, I did not like the drink I got... it tasted like just milk, I was super disappointed. Maybe I'll come back and try some new drinks.

    I love Warm Waves Coffee! I am so happy that they opened their second location in Suwanee Town Center. Their corner location is great and the patio they have is even better! I stopped by to try their new Spring menu and it was so good! My favorites were the Strawberry Moon Matcha & the Almond Croissant. Their cinnamon rolls are a must try too! This was my first time trying an Ube Latte and it was so good! So much sweeter than I expected, but not too sweet. I love how most of their drinks can be iced or hot and they have classic menu items and a rotating seasonal menu too. Lauren was my barista when I went and she was the sweetest human. I can't wait to come back to drink some coffee and eat a pastry on the patio! Check this place out for sure!

    Such a cute coffee shop located below an apartment complex. There was some parking spots behind the building which made it super convenient to visit. Not too many indoor seating spots but they have a great patio! The inside decor was super cute. I ordered the matcha latte and my friend got a chai with a shot of espresso. The chai was great and the espresso shot was very rich! The matcha I got however wasn't the best, the matcha flavor was faint and tasted mostly of milk and vanilla syrup. I recommend trying something else. Overall the baristas were friendly and even remade my matcha! I think it just may be the matcha powder they use. I liked the aesthetic of this place and would probably come back to get something else. I noticed they have a couple unique drinks of their spring menu and I would love to try those instead next time. Would recommend coming on a sunny day to try out their patio.

    matcha with brown sugar and a orange cranberry white mocha!

    VOLCANICA 7/5/24…read more EAST AFRICAN COFFEE STATUS & OUTLOOK Based on the USDA's latest outlook, Africa accounts for 11-12% of the world's total coffee production, including 10.5% of the Robusta crop and 12.5% of the 23/24 Arabica crop. There are 54 countries in Africa, but only about a dozen produce coffee. While Ethiopia accounts for most of it, the high-quality specialty grade Arabica coffee production is limited to 6-7 East African countries, including some very small countries with problematic histories. Located in the equatorial coffee belt, East African coffee benefits from ideal coffee growing conditions, including volcanic soil, high altitude, climate, access to fresh water and tradition. Conscientious processing, disciplined coops and dedicated smallholder farms also play a role. Coffee is a subjective topic and while good coffee can be found throughout the equatorial belt, the acid rich East African coffees are recognized as the world's most distinctive. The traditional varieties and grade from Ethiopia (Yirgacheffe) and Kenya (south-central highlands) are particularly noteworthy and often compared. While some would include 100% authentic Kona (miniscule production, hard to get & subject to fraud), the best Tanzanian and the crazy expensive Geisha (Panama & elsewhere) among the best, the coffee from Kenya and Ethiopia is widely viewed as the world's most consistent, distinctive and recognizable. Regardless of source, it is important to note that countries producing the most distinguished specialty coffee also produce average or worse coffee. In a way, East African coffees are like finalists in a beauty contents, it's hard to pick the winner. The contest is also dynamic, i.e., this year's crop winner could be next year's loser. While the demand for specialty coffee continues to grow, small coffee farmers have been burdened by an exploitive value chain. Living on a few dollars a day, Africa's small coffee farmers have had little incentive to produce the low yielding crop. If impoverished farmers do not get a bigger piece of the value chain's pie, higher prices and a shortage of high-quality coffee seem likely. FINDING REPUTABLE RETAIL ROASTERS When purchasing country of origin coffee, the quality will vary by crop year, terroir, region, sub-region, botanical variety, grade, processing, storage, logistics, roast and freshness. Excluding effective auctions, higher prices may not guarantee a better tasting coffee. Storage and freshness are key because coffee does not age well. Indeed, assuming the flavor has not been compromised by logistics and storage, fresh green coffee has a 6-12-month shelf life while fresh roasted whole bean has a 30-day window. As the importer of these potentially fine coffees, IT IS THE RETAIL ROASTER WHO DETERMINES THE QUALITY AND FRESHNESS OF OUR COFFEE. Finding a reputable retail roaster with good customer service, a good menu of single origin coffee and consistency is a Herculean task. Given the limited shelf life, always looming new crop and roaster inconsistency, the ongoing journey never ends. Organic, free trade, direct trade, sustainable, certified, relationships and consistent buying all make sense, but coffee that shoots the lights out on the cupping table is really what the specialty coffee game is about. While there are exceptions, roaster websites are not generally well developed or organized and many do not disclose all the information required to make an informed purchase, including the origin, roast, ounces per bag, processing, etc. Some lack contact information while others fail to follow up on inquiries. Many also use a poor choice of colors and fonts that make the websites difficult to read. Fortunately, many roasters specializing in East African coffee provide more detail and organized information, including the granular source, varietal, processing, roast and roast date. Blends are being hyped by roasters and while they might be relevant to coffee drinkers, they are not very relevant to coffee lovers that already know what they want. Affordability is another issue because there are high-quality single origin coffees that are affordable and offer real value. Indeed, many blends are priced higher than good single origin coffee. VOLCANICA EAST AFRICAN COFFEE: As Good As It Gets Volcanica is currently offering nine East African single origin coffees, including the Kenya AA (Nyeri Hill Estate), the Ethiopia Yirgacheffe and the Tanzania Peaberry (Nitin Estate, Ngorongoro Crater). All are washed and roasted light or medium light. In addition to being among the highest quality East African coffee on the market today, they offer real value. Indeed, Volcanica's 16 oz pricing is less than what many of their competitors are charging for 12 oz. Volcanica's website is also developed, organized and provides granular details appreciated by coffee lovers. JBC has also done a good job with their website development and disclosure. I have chased

I've traveled all over, had coffee in cities people romanticize, stood in lines at "famous" spots--and nothing hits like this place. Nothing. This is my daily go-to, and every single time I walk in, it delivers the exact same feeling: calm, grounded, present. The moment you step inside, the vibe is immediate--peaceful, welcoming, almost humbling. There's a rhythm to it. No chaos, no ego, just people who genuinely care about what they're doing. And that shows in everything. The team behind the bar? Phenomenal. Not just friendly--knowledgeable. You can ask anything, and they'll walk you through it without making you feel out of place. It's not transactional, it's collaborative. They actually involve you in the process, like they want you to understand and enjoy what you're drinking, not just buy it. And the coffee... this is where it separates itself. Whether it's hot, iced, something classic, or something you didn't even know existed--they're never afraid to push boundaries. They experiment, they refine, and they absolutely deliver. Your palate will expand coming here. You'll try things you didn't expect to like--and end up loving. What's wild is this:The feeling I get grabbing a coffee here is the same feeling I've had standing in Little Havana, getting an espresso from Versailles. That same energy. That same emotional connection. That same "this is exactly where I'm supposed to be right now" moment.

I have my eye on the basque cheesecake! Final Verdict: if you haven't visited, you must try! I feel like the prices are worth it considering the quality that goes into their products. I would recommend looking at the menu ahead of time, because they do get busy.
