Achilles Art Cafe (Hiawassee)

My boyfriend and I came here in search of a local coffee shop we like as much or more than our other go to and we DEFINITELY recommend!! Not only is the atmosphere really welcoming, the coffee was delicious! I went for an iced mocha latte and my boyfriend got an iced caramel latte and they were both amazing! We’ll definitely be coming back and bringing friends!

Great food, the drinks are well made, it's clean, comfortable, and all the staff I met were super friendly. Loved the indoor/outdoor seating options. Great place to hang out!

Love the beauty of this place but the owner is cold. I would come in and sit for a while and then order a coffee. This is normal business practice and how all other coffee shops work (small or corporate) whether it’s busy or not.

But unfortunately the owner made me feel unwelcome 3x and very uncomfortable today. I have invested in his business-just not directly upon entering or within his expected time limit.

So be careful-if you don’t enter and order right away-he will definitely come over to you and tell you to word for word “Leave unless you order.”

I just feel this is so unprofessional. Some people need time to sit down and settle in. To be rushed to order-shows a poor mindset and lack of understanding to humans.

Also do not bring any outside food he will get upset about this too. Some people (like myself) have food intolerances and can’t eat certain snacks he provides. But he would not understand or care. He would just take it as a personal offense-when any other coffee shop has never ever commented on this to me.

If he is going to behave this way-he should instead make a sign notifying people of this so they are aware before entering.

We've been coming to Ash's coffee shops since he opened the first one! We moved away from Orlando, but stop through regularly now.
The coffees and pastries are consistent and good! The staff is always friendly, helpful, and don't look like they're trying to go home as soon as they get there.
All of this: the quality drinks, and food, the staff's attitude, and the ambience... comes directly from Achilles' heart, style and work ethic.
Thank you, Ash!

Best coffee shop ever. Super stylish and fancy. You can literally take pictures anywhere here. The coffee is amazing. The bakery is great. Yaseen is the most friendly and helpful. They have all kinds of coffee and tea and what’s really important for me coconut milk. Thank you so much for being in our neighborhood

Loved the atmosphere of this Cafe. Low key, quiet enough to work but not stuffy. Friend had chai and she loved it. I had a Cuban and it was delicious. Food is reasonably priced and I can't wait to try other options.

Strong coffee, great food, and excellent service. The garlic dipping sauce is mildly addictive, so be careful. It’s so hard to find local culture in Orlando, but you can find it here.

Definitely the Best place in Metrowest area to have a delicious coffee and brunch.. nice athemosfere friendly service.. super recommend 👏👏❤️☕

This place is amazing, called ahead to see if it would be okay to hold a small gathering as a surprise Birthday party for my parents. Even though I warned the staff that we might be allowed and might want to place us in outdoor seating, they reassured me that it's no problem and went above and beyond to make everyone comfortable. Not only that but food and drinks were great!

I normally don’t write reviews, but woah. The drinks are all cold..drank them all in a minute. The food also has no flavor. I ordered something simple and the owner got confused and tried to blame it on me. He was so mean too. Will not come back. Seems like he doesn’t even know his own menu.
