Chattahoochee Coffee Company - Westside

My first time at this location. I typically frequent the location in Smyrna/mableton by the river. This location is really nice, a bit bigger and also quiet. Barista was friendly. I love their hazelnut latte. This location doesn't serve empanadas. I really wanted on that day. Oh well!

I was burning time before a flight, and this was a great spot to burn it. Classy coffee shop built into a beautiful new apartment community. Plenty of people and dog watching, while you sip your brew. The coffee was dynamite...smooth medium roast from a semi-local roaster in North Carolina. The Barista was very cool. We talked shop for a bit, while I waited for my second round. They actually outfitted the place with power strips and outlets, which encourages loitering

Update: they have recently introduced paid parking, when it used to be free in the parking deck behind the shop. Free street parking is still available for now. Still one of my favorite shops, but coffee and tea prices have gone up as well.

"The smoothest cup of coffee I've ever had"- my partner, about his pour over. We came by here after we saw the good reviews and we're so glad that we did! I got a vanilla cappuccino and he got a pour over. It was $9 and the coffee was so good! They give you a list of what type of beans they used in each option, which was great! The decor is very outdoorsy, the moose was great.

Showed up at 9:02 am on a Thursday. No lights on, nobody home, no sign on the door except a list of times when they should have been open. Obviously life happens, so maybe something emergent came up, but this experience was still disappointing.

I came here in between events, and so glad that I did! Parking was free in an adjacent garage and super easy. You walk up the steps and into a spacious cafe. I got an iced caramel latte and a buttered croissant. The croissant was a little small to me, but the flavor was good. Reminded me of Parisian cafes! The latte was tasty too, and the ambiance was really nice. I would definitely go back.

I came in the evening and was a little disappointed there were no more pastries. But I got a really delicious latte. I liked the vibe, it wasn't too crowded and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. I'm not the biggest fan of taxidermy...but I would still come back to this place in a heart beat.

Not really sure what's going on with this place. The last few times I've been here they aren't open even tho their business hours are posted on the window, and no notice for closing early or opening late. Once was during the week at like 5:30p, and the other two times were on a Saturday and Sunday at 8:30am and 10:45a respectively. Timing just has been inconsistent.

Great, cozy atmosphere to relax with a cup of coffee or tea. I like the soft music they play in the background whenever I come here to study.Things you should know:I. PARKING I park in the parking garage where there are 3 hour FREE spots available. All you have to do is drive your car a little past the coffee shop entrance and you'll see the garage entry. Easy.II. SERVICEno complaintsIII. QUALITYThe coffee & add-in options are pretty good; there are multiple types of milks and syrups to choose from. I'm not a huge fan of the pastries, so I struggle when I want something with my coffee. But, that being said, they're branded as a coffee company and NOT a bakery. It's nice they cater to people by having baked items available.IV. CAPACITYFor a Thursday afternoon, pretty busy. Every time I come here the seating is almost full. They have great customer support.

Known for their riverside location at Walton on the Chattahoochee, Chattahoochee Coffee Company also has an in-town location at Walton Westside right behind Westside Provisions District (WSPD). You can park for free at WSPD and take a set of stairs up to the coffee shop. You can also park for free inside Walton's deck.I used to be a regular at the original riverside location years ago: https://www.yelp.com/biz/chattahoochee-coffee-company-atlanta-8. Its view/setting is still unparalleled when it comes to Atlanta cafes today. This location opened in 2015 and is the company's second store. They opened a third store, also on the Chattahoochee but west of Atlanta, in 2020. So far, every location has been part of an apartment complex.My wife visited this location many times with her classmates when she was in medical school. They would study here. We visited on a Saturday around noon and this place was busy. Most seats were taken. I estimate the interior capacity to be about 40. The apartment has a spacious string-lit covered gravel patio, with seating for about 40 more, right outside the shop. The interior design is a mix of rustic, loft, and homey cabin with high ceilings, exposed duct and brickwork, tables and chairs made out of what looks like reclaimed wood, some soft seating (e.g sofa), and - the most interesting part to me - mounted animal heads/horns and other game hunting trophies. Overall, it's got a relaxed, warm atmosphere and it seems like a comfortable place to work. Many customers had their laptops out and looked settled in.The cafe uses the Walton apartment community's Wi-Fi. It wasn't working well for us, maybe because there were so many people. I'm not sure how fast the internet connection typically is.Chattahoochee Coffee Company serves Counter Culture Coffee (based in Durham, NC) and Rishi Tea (based in Milwaukee, WI). During our visit, they had seven types of coffee (drip, brew, espresso) and 10 types of loose-leaf tea. Most drinks started at $3.00-4.50 each. They offered pour overs, French press, cold brew, and non-caffeinated options like hot cocoa and fruit smoothies too. They also served food -- hand pies, quiche, assorted pastries, granola, and other snacks. Grab-and-go items I saw included bagels, muffins, turnovers, and cookies plus gluten-free products (e.g. brownies). Additionally, they had merchandise for sale. Things like French press coffee makers and tea kettles.My wife and I got lattes made with Counter Culture's Hologram espresso blend. The menu described Hologram as "fruity, milk chocolate, syrup." I got a large 12 oz for $5.00 and my wife got a small 8 oz for $5.25. Hers cost more because she asked for almond milk instead of whole milk. They use whole milk from Mountain Fresh Creamery (based in Clermont, GA). Yum. I got a vanilla latte and my wife got a chocolate latte. I preferred the vanilla latte over the chocolate latte. It was noticeably sweeter (I prefer sweeter, creamier coffee drinks). I enjoyed both lattes and thought they were good though standard and par for the course; not significantly more enjoyable than the Nespresso drinks I make at home.Service was fine. Steven was our server and he was friendly. The business uses ShopKeep (iPad) to process payments.TL;DR - Good, but not outstanding, coffee shop. Serves its purpose. Wi-Fi should be better.
