First time getting coffee. Great place to sit and people watch.

This is more than a coffee shop. It's also a butcher and fresh produce. We stopped for an espresso which was tasty and an ok pull. They have breakfast sandwiches to go w the coffee. The butcher part of the store looked amazing. And there is a small fresh produce section with what appears to be unique local products. Our Espresso run ended with picking up pate, tomatoes and basil.

Quaint coffee shop with industrial-like interior. There’s street parking available and only outdoor seating. There’s also a butcher/small deli shop inside. Really wish they had indoor seating though. The Banko Gotiti Ethiopia blend had a very floral-heavy flavor profile. I did not taste the honey or brown sugar as suggested but apricot was present. Definitely had a dry aftertaste. Very enjoyable coffee if you’re a fan of floral.

Coffee is overprice, and the flavor of their coffee didn’t deserve that much money, and also size is very small

Wow! The Flat White…. Out of this world good. Smooth, pleasant mouthfeel. Everything I would imagine in a perfect cup of flat white. The milk was exceptional and I loved the seasonal flavor!

This is the best coffee shop in all of Atlanta. You can't go wrong with any drink and the food is to die for. I love the ambience and the staff are super friendly. In addition, the small shop from fresh produce to amazing cuts of meat is really a nieghrbhood one stop shop. I highly recommend you stop by. One small con is it could be a touch on the pricey side but the quality of the ingredients is worth it.

For what this place is, it is awesome! This is not your everyday coffee shop in my opinion. You would go broke after a while haha. This is a place to go every once in a while to get a CRAFT coffee drink made with love and precision. The selection of drinks is always evolving. The first time I came here I got an amazing latte with freaking olive oil in it! The second time I got a fantastic latte with homemade banana syrup and bitters. Dang genius! The baristas are knowledge and kind as well. They can help steer your decision making too if you need help. Since this place also has a butcher shop in the same area, they have a pricy but awesome selection of meats and such you can buy too and when you go to the bathroom, the pig theme is great! The one downside to this place is the lack of seating inside but there is plenty of outdoor seating that isn’t bad at all if you are blessed with good weather. Again, a great choice as a treat.

Have to get the sausage sandwich is incredible. Recently brought my own hot sauce since they don't have any there and it made it even better.

Really good espresso. Great craft from the barista. Downside is no glassware you can use —they have beautiful stoneware sitting on top of the espresso machine—only paper. There also isn’t anywhere to sit inside. Great if you’re on the go.

Their coffee is excellent, the staff were extremely kind and knowledgeable, and they serve such a variety of coffee and support roasters and vendors from all over. Super sick shop. Their seasonal drinks are always so good and so new, the community really loves them, and so do I.

I have so many thoughts about this place I don't even know where to begin. This place is such a good vibe! The Matcha Special they have with Pistachio is incredible, I get it everytime. I hope it never goes away. To be honest all of their beverages are good and definitely one of my favorite spots in the city! Thank you Academy Coffee!

Went here to get their Saquash drink. It was great - not too hot where I needed a lid to walk while drinking it. It was interesting to see a butcher shop in there too.

Super interesting coffee shop. The coffee was really delicious. The flavor choices were unlike almost anywhere else I’d been. Plus, they have breakfast sandwiches in the mornings. Good ones too. The only complaint I have is that, with tip… my small sandwich and coffee ran me $20. That’s a bit tough to justify. Even if it was tasty.

Academy Coffee may be Atlanta's best coffee shop right now. They take real craft and use extremely high-quality ingredients. The food is excellent as well. I just wish they had more seating, but it's a small space.

The coffee is tasty (albeit small portions, especially iced drinks). I’ve had really mixed experiences with service, but appreciate the owner being receptive to feedback (seems like a blip while onboarding this past month). The butcher & prepared food are quite good though.

Coffee is amazing but unfortunately no indoor seating like some of the photos show.
