Waller's Coffee Shop

I don’t find myself in Decatur as often anymore and I need to change that. Why? Because of small businesses like Waller’s. Unique. Bohemian. And very social. The outdoor spaces and the indoor communal areas are what a cafe should be. Laid back, safe, warm, comfortable, and great ambience. It wasn’t crowded when I visited but I can imagine the place being electric when there are events here. Definitely going to visit again later with family and friends.

This place is absolutely magical! And they've made it with so much love! There's the coffee shop itself, with great coffee and food. I got a blueberry scone with a shot in the dark and it was all delicious. My coffee was awesome, very flavorful, complex, and strong. The guys who worked there were really nice. The dining area is cool, full of nice places to sit and shelves full of books and games. I came in the middle of a week day, so no surprise there wasn't a show going on, but still there were people hanging out.

Outdoors was the best, though. There is a great spacious area, shaded under tree cover, with a stage and plenty of seating for live shows, complete with a fire pit. It must be great in the evening or on the weekend with a band on. There is every type of seat you can imagine, from picnic tables to hammocks. I sat in a plastic adirondack chair, kicked back, and felt so at home. Robins and chipmunks came near. And then, as I explored, I got an even better surprise.

There was a freshly mown woodland path! It followed the stream and terminated in a beautiful little wild area. It branched and consisted of a series of little paths, a stand of kudzu brilliantly turned into a natural, intimate space. You could tell someone put a lot of work in and really made this place something special. They've really maxed out what can be done with the space. I went in for a cup of coffee and ended up with this sweet adventure! I didn't follow the path in the other direction, mostly because I want to have something to look forward to, as I will definitely be coming back. It's just a beautiful place. I can't believe all this is here and I didn't know! 10/10

Cute coffee shop with good indoor + outdoor seating. They sometimes have live music too! I love the book shelf and homey vibes. Only wish they had more indoor lighting because it can get very dark inside

The guy behind the counter seemed a little well….. not excited to be there, but other than him, the atmosphere, games, the coffee, the wraps, and treats were excellent. Hope
The guy that was as working on Saturday the 18th around 2:00 pm cheered up and had a better day eventually 😂. If you dislike working with people so much, you should consider another career.

Some notes. Coffee is good but weak. They use good beans though.
Appreciate the paper straws but they melted by the time I finished the iced tea.
Wraps were fine but the portions were too tiny imo.
if you need food, the biscuits may be the way to go.
The outdoor seating is nice. But you gotta be okay with bugs.
Indoor is big however no music and super eerie quiet.

All in all, not the bustling cafe vibe but a good place if you are looking for a quiet study area with some snacks!

Quiet, industrial, indie vibes.
Coffee was standard but with great service and an exceptional 5-Star space.

Big space too, with a lot of seating everywhere even with a fair amount of people in the store I wasn't sitting near anyone.

Very cool hole in the wall coffee shop (and also a music venue).

Good coffee, good vibes, good music.

Drove past this coffee shop a dozen times before I decided to come in, and I'm so glad I did! Susan, the barista, made the best cappuccino I've ever had in my life! Highly recommend one with some lavender mocha flavoring. Lots of cute art and a nice place to hang out. Sometimes they have live music events at night!

I visited Waller's coffee shop to attend a concert. The place is quit small, but very nice. Excellent place to listen to some Blues. Ample parking in the front. Ticket and the food/drink prices were very affordable.

Came for the Album release party and stayed for the coffee!

Ethiopian coffee was smooth and wonderful!
