Franklin's

Very cute cafe down in the ground. A bit expensive but I’d say it’s worth it to go. It’s very fun to sit at one of the counters and just look out at the street. I got a Cafe Mocha iced and I have to say it’s one of the best ones I’ve ever had, it’s sweet but not too sweet for me and has that hint of bitterness. I get the small because it’s actually more like a medium, the large for me for some reason doesn’t taste as good. I also got the turkey melt which was good, nice and flavorful and the bacon was the best. I had went there before and also got the Soho Combo which was really good. The tomato soup was nice with the sandwich. Another time I went I got a chocolate muffin and to be honest it wasn’t the best, it was nice and sweet but not as good as I wished it could be. But, I highly recommend coming here!

Love the street level seating. Americano and steamed eggs made on the espresso machine, never had that before. Coffee was good, smooth. Steamed eggs were good. Nice flavors.

Lastly and a very cool thing. I was trying to decide between a breakfast bagel and the steamed eggs. When I mentioned I’d never heard of that, he said he’d just made some and would give me an order for free to try!

Pretty cool.

The food is great homemade quality. The bread was fresh and the quiche was delicious. The crust on the quiche was fluffy and wonderful. It is one of the few places we found open before 8am so it can get a line going. The bacon on the BLT was perfect 👌🏼 The spicy mocha latte was very good, and def had a good kick to it!

Don’t let the 4.7 mislead you. Average coffee and pastries live here.

There is is nice feel to the place and the outdoor seating is nice but still misses the mark with coffee.

The chocolate croissant tasted bland with low quality chocolate inside. The coffee was basically burnt caramel similar to others chains.

It’s nice for a date and being underground is kinda cool but the quality is behind.

As I’m writing this my date was ignored when she was trying to get help. She ordered a vanilla latte which was average.

Very interesting coffee shop that is underground. Cool vibes. They have a good selection of cold drinks. We tried a sparkling tea that was delicious but not sweet enough so we added stevia. Would like to come back and try their coffee and pastries. The drink brand I got is apparently partially owned by Brad Pitt!

Oh. My. God. This place is SO good! We always walked past it and finally decided to go for breakfast one rainy morning, and let me tell you this place was so good! We plan on going back until we try everything on the menu. I got the Croissant Sandwich, and it did not disappoint! Honestly, I wish they offered more seating because it's so lovely inside and there was a lot of students studying for extended amounts of time. I love when I get to have the full experience at little places like this instead of having to stand around and eat. This place is 11/10 so we will absolutely be back!

Great service ~ great coffee. The interior is pretty with marble stone, wood tones and gold metallic accents. The indoor/outdoor seating is sparse but cute.
Things you should know:
I. PARKING
Nearby street parking seems to be the move. It's also free.
II. SERVICE
Timely and friendly. I like that their menu shows the sugar free syrup options: vanilla and caramel. They taste amazing in a latte and they're guilt free. Highly recommend.
III. QUALITY
Pretty good and dense..! I've ordered a latte here one time and an Americano another ~ neither seemed watered down or disappointing.
IV. CAPACITY
Busy in the morning but they're speedy with turning over orders.

Y'all, this place is gorgeous. It's like stepping back in time and I absolutely love it. If you have worked in downtown Savannah the last 20ish years you may be familiar with Soho South Cafe and their delicious tomato basil bisque and their adult version of a grilled cheese sandwich. With that establishment being closed, I was heartbroken. Franklin's right across the street has a Soho Combo that will make your heart smile again.

Went here several months back to try their espresso. Was served the most sour shot I have ever had. Not good. Decided was not the place for me.
Fast forward to present time. Gave them a well deserved second chance, and I am glad I did. As of now, this is probably my most frequented coffee spot downtown now. I am local and have tasted what savannah has to offer for espresso based drinks and this is now my place to do that.

Bonus points is my wife loves their cold brew, and hands down makes such an easy decision when we both are looking for that caffeine fix!

We found this coffee on the way to our hotel and I'm so glad we did! It's a small, cozy place to drink tea seating by the window looking the ongoing people on the street.
They also have a few to go snacks such as parfaits, sandwiches, and yummy croissant options.
I'll definitely come back.
