Atlanta Coffee Roasters

The people here are always friendly and knowledgeable, and they offer a wide variety of choices from all over the globe at prices on par with the bigger coffee chains. Be warned, though... the freshness of their coffee may ruin your taste for the chain stores completely!

The two times I called, during business hours, got a recorded message that they were open and replenishing their inventory. I could leave a message, which I did. All I wanted to know was if they had Kona beans in stock. The first time I called, I left my phone number, twice in the message, but by 430pm the next day, nobody had bothered to return my call. When I called late in the afternoon the next business day and during business hours, I got their machine again so I took the opportunity to comment on their very poor customer service. I went to J. Martinez Coffee and got my Kona beans. Now there is an establishment that knows how to treat a customer. So much for patronizing local neighborhood stores. I'm just tickled pink that this place has so much business they can afford to blow off potential new customers.

This is a cozy coffee shop with a huge selection of beans. You wouldn’t think it would be the best considering it’s in a shopping center but if you are near it, go in and you won’t be disappointed. The barista when we were there was super friendly and helpful.

Went once, loved their beans. Hours are impossible though. I don't mean to blame them, but it's just really difficult to get in there. Literally the only time a person with a standard 9-5 can go is on Saturday. And the last Saturday I went they were randomly closed! I'm sure they ran some numbers and figured out most profitable hours... but if their desired customer is like me, they are missing out on a lot of business!

Great coffee roasted right on the premises, combined with a homey laid back ambiance makes this an irresistible venue to hang out and pass some quality time. Bill Letbetter has created a gem in the middle of Toco Hill. That's Leo in the pic. Very friendly and takes care of business. So do Margie, Haley and Casey. If you're from China, feel free to test Haley's and Casey's language skills. Warning! It will be a slam dunk for Haley.

I have never actually been ACR, but I purchase all of our beans by phone or online and have them shipped to me. Their coffee is the best. We started buying beans at Starbucks, but I'd have to be truly desperate to back to them. ACR is so much better. I usually purchase about 6 pounds of coffee per shipment, and freeze five. Bill knows his coffee!!!

Sorry, but this place is currently closed. Online purchases only.

The staff is wonderful. Parker and Layla are caring people who make the experience exceptional. The store is comfortable and the coffee is fantastic.

A very quaint establishment offering fresh brewed coffee of mutilple varities and exceptional as well as professional employees including my cashier, Casey Mayer, and the owner of the establishment itself Mr. Bill... And a thank you to employee Ms. Haylee for her informational advice on the establishment.

Atlanta Coffee Roasters is located right off of North Druid Hills and Lavista and has been sitting on our list of places to investigate for at least a year. Finally, finally we checked it off. This post summed up: Not worthy of the drive, especially for all you city snobs like myself.

Atmosphere- ...or should I say lack-thereof? ACR has nothing to offer in this regard. The interior is dim and dingy which pushes you outside to enjoy your coffee, however the exterior presents you with a parking lot view of the Toco Hills shopping center.

Coffee- I can't completely dismiss ACR because this cafe does create good coffee drinks, and without good coffee there's really no point. My cinnamon latte was delicious and extremely frothy...yummmm... and Anand admitted that his coffee was nice as well. They do sell an incredible variety of whole beans which range from your classic go-to Colombian roast all the way to a Snickerdoodle blend.

Service- When it comes to a coffee shop I'm looking for a friendly barista who serves coffee with pride and genuinely likes what he does. The one employee working when we stopped in was quick and got the job done, but he didn't contribute anything more than that.

Location- The Toco Hills shopping area reminds me of a suburban strip mall. Location= fail.

Legitimacy- If it weren't for my friend who mentioned this coffee shop to me I wouldn't ever have heard of it, which goes to say that this cafe doesn't carry much of a reputation.
