East Pole Coffee Co.

TLDR: there are better places to go for your time and money

Came here on a Saturday afternoon to grab a coffee and get some work done with my partner. We ordered two iced lattes with vanilla, one with oat milk . To my disappointment there was no food available- but i understand as they may have sold out earlier in the day. One of our lattes was made and placed on the counter. They said it was the one with oatmilk so I started drinking it, but it tasted like regular milk so i decided to wait and see if the other one that came was oat milk and if the barista had just said the wrong thing. 20 minutes go by and our other latte never comes. all of the staff is just standing around talking and not doing anything. we asked them if they had made the latte and they said no. 5 minutes later we finally got our second drink- with oatmilk as i told them that was the drink we didn’t get. overall the two lattes were just under $15. im used to paying around $10 for two lattes plus tip. i’m not unwilling to pay for quality. the espresso was quite good, but i definitely feel as though there are local coffee shops at a lower price with the same quality.

the person who took our order wasn’t rude, but they did look at us as though we were somehow out of the ordinary. i’m not sure if this is a “regulars only” kind of place but i didn’t appreciate the complete lack of a “welcome in!”. for having tipped well, been respectful and quiet, and having paid above average for two lattes, i was disappointed with the experience. we also clearly told them we were “for here” and they gave us our lattes in to go cups and did not seem pleased when we sat down to do work for a few hours. probably will not return here to do work.

Great cafe, with a nice amount of space and lovely interior design.

They have some cool bleachers with cushions with tons of chargers so you don’t have to worry about finding a plug

Good coffee, and they offer cupping sessions on Saturdays, which is kind of fun to watch. Good place to read or meet someone.

This place is pretty good. There is plentiful indoor seating on large stadium steps in the room adjacent to the coffee shop, though it's not the most comfortable for longer periods of time. The coffee is nice -- not my favorite in Atlanta, but far superior to the mainstream places. Also, they have the greatest logo and cup design!

If you’re into great coffee, great work spaces, and good vibes, come here.

Best cappuccino I’ve had in a long time. Sugar cookie donut was delicious as well.

Wow. If you want a sure sign that a roaster won't burn your latte... look no further than a spot that doesn't put handles on their latte mugs. If you want a spot-on capp or latte, this is the spot. The atmosphere is lively, unique, and you have a variety of seating available. They always get me the perfect pick-me-up with such great energy.
Side note: their ham and cheese biscuit is WONDERFUL. They clearly source their food options thoughtfully. You have to get there earlier in the day before they're all gone, though.

Coffee was delicious and so was my chocolate sea salt yeast donut!

What a nice place and a nice setup! The coffee is very good!
