Academy Coffee

The coffee is tasty (albeit small portions, especially iced drinks). I’ve had really mixed experiences with service, but appreciate the owner being receptive to feedback (seems like a blip while onboarding this past month). The butcher & prepared food are quite good though.

4.8 | Academy Coffee x Kinship is such a brilliant partnership. I am a big fan of the coffee and specialty / seasonal drinks here. they have not disappointed. I get their cappuccino, and the espresso pull is perfect. their bees knees drink is also quite divine. I seem to also have serious cravings for their grilled cheese. It’s probably the best grilled cheese I’ve ever had. I dare someone to challenge me on that. I also really enjoy the fact that you can snag some pretty incredible wine on your way out. They have become one of my beloved coffee shops in Atlanta. Do go if you get the chance! They don’t have much seating inside, just sort of window seats, but there’s plenty outside space and you’re of course in the heart of Virginia Highlands with much walkability and areas to hang and sit around you. All around fantastic spot to add to your ATL gems list.

Have to get the sausage sandwich is incredible. Recently brought my own hot sauce since they don't have any there and it made it even better.

Great coffee stop with a few other complimentary stores in the building. Yes, these are single origin beans. The barista was friendly and answered our questions to define the difference between fair trade and direct trade coffee.

The shop is very cute, parking wasn't hard at all. The barista was perfect! She knew what she was doing and it showed. They make all the syerps so there were couple of combinations that I haven't tried (I've tried everything or so I thought) that was off the chain! Rose And mint? Bomb! guinness and vanilla? Bomb dot com!

Top 3 coffee shop in ATL. Probably the most creative coffee shop in the city, interested in who else stacks up. Connan did a riff on an Americano that I'm still thinking about, I'm not even going to lay out the recipe here that would be cheating. Their specialty drink menu (8-10 beverages) rotate every season outside of the classics.

A brand new coffee shop next to Krog Street Market, Academy Coffee is warm and inviting. Barista and owner Connan is well versed in his craft, always taking time to answer my questions. The coffee and tea is of a very high quality (George Howell Coffee Roasters, East Poll Coffee Roasters, Rishi) and prepared perfectly. You should definitely stop by of you are walking down the belt line.

They have an interesting seasonal menu in addition to the regular espresso drinks. I got the ol' fashioned (latte with maple syrup, orange + bitters) which turned out to be a nice beverage. My friend mentioned that their vanilla latte is also very good. The baristas were very nice too.
There are a bunch of benches outside for seating, so it's a nice place to chill on a Sunday afternoon.

Went here to get their Saquash drink. It was great - not too hot where I needed a lid to walk while drinking it. It was interesting to see a butcher shop in there too.

Coffee is overprice, and the flavor of their coffee didn’t deserve that much money, and also size is very small
