Academy Coffee

Five stars all around for the atmosphere, drink selection, location and owner. I've tried the Chai Latte with almond milk and the Matchisimo a number of times and they're delicious!! Hands down, Connan (the owner) makes the best chai latte I've had in the Atlanta area. I brought my husband here recently and he really liked it. I've told a number of people I know about it because it's a MUST TRY if you haven't already. You. Will. Not. Regret. It!!

The coffee is amazing and the staff is super friendly. I recommend letting the Barista surprise you with a drink (this is an option on the menu). The location is great as well.

The unique blend of flavors are astonishing and delicious. Connan Moody (owner) is an expert in coffee and tea. He will make the best cup of tea or coffee you've ever tasted. Definitely go out of your way to check out this shop.

Love this place! It's a hidden gem just off the beltline, so it's way less crowded than your Krog or PCM coffee shops. My favorite thing is to get the "surprise me!" drink, which means they'll ask you a short series of questions and then delight you with a custom coffee drink just for you. The best one so far was a "monkey business latte," which had banana and almond syrup -- something I never would have thought to order for myself. Academy has a friendly staff, and a nice homey decor as well.

I love coming to Academy coffee. This is a great homegrown neighborhood spot in an area that is slowly becoming more "mainstream" (but this place keeps it real!). Connan dishes up really creative drinks and the atmosphere is really chill - a great place to spend the afternoon doing work. Bike and car parking almost always available.

I got a cold brew, which I guess came in only one size - smallish with a lot of ice - since the barista didn't ask me what size I wanted. It was absolutely the best cold brew I've ever had and was drawn from a tap. How cool is that?! The only thing that would have been better was if it were a nitro cold brew. I have an extreme weakness for those.

It was a bit hard to find since there was no sign, but it's co-located at Jack's Ice Cream on Irwin, very close to Samson (the road, not the person). Again, absolutely the best cold brew!

Best coffee in town. I had the pleasure to speak with the owners and their passion for coffee, and dedication to sharing that passion with their customers, is something special. Get the cortado and prepare to have your mind blown.

Excellent coffee! My wife and I went with the 'surprise me' coffees which were custom made by the barista given what we like/dislike in our coffee drinks, and the result was superb. Check them out!

Great coffee, and very unique flavor offerings for their drinks. Also has a butcher shop and fresh vegetables inside.

A brand new shop next door to Jake's Ice Cream at Irwin St. Market. The owners are some of the nicest people I've ever met, the coffee is delicious and unique, and the space (while still a work in progress) is awesome.
