Condesa Coffee

When you visit a coffee hotspot such as ATL, you expect the aroma of espresso being pulled and pour overs blooming on every corner. But it's still a pleasant surprise when you leave one coffee shop and two minutes...there's another. And that is just what occurred on a breezy afternoon. I was sipping a beautiful cup of light roast, window shopping, and then the golden yellow letters called out to me. I, even with my plethora of caffeinated experiences, questioned if I could consume another dark elixir so soon. But that was a brief moment of self doubt. I crossed the street and walked in. Now I am one for an industrial feel; yes, the shiplap and sheet metal and pipes. Something about it just resonates with me. Maybe it's because I've worked in a factory. And maybe it's just because I like this decor trend. Who knows, but more importantly to me is if the beans are quality. Now I will say I was quickly distracted by the menu, as this is far more than an espresso bar. Cocktails and beers, adult grilled cheese sandwiches and baked oatmeal, house made syrups and even a coffee flight. So I stepped back a moment to regroup while also checking out the bags of beans available for purchase. With breakfast and a cup of coffee already in me I decided on my go-to, the Americano. But again, there are choices to be made. The double is just that, two shots of espresso with 6 oz. of hot water. But if that's not enough, you can do a quad to get four shots of espresso with 12 oz. of hot water. I knew my limits and went with the double. As I stepped outside, drink in hand, I looked out over the balcony to see the train tracks that pass through the city. Soon after a train passed by, the grinding of metal and tracks drowned out the busy Atlanta streets. And that Americano, it will drown out just about everything else. Balanced in flavor, acidity, and water level it is a work of art. I long for the day I can return.

This was my first time visiting Atlanta, and I was struck by how warm and welcoming everyone was, especially at this establishment. However, while we were sitting here, something happened that was both disturbing and disheartening. A homeless man entered with money in hand, intending to buy some water. Despite his polite demeanor, the barista--who happened to be a redhead--denied him service. This man was fully clothed, self-sufficient, and not asking for anything beyond the ability to make a purchase. Yet, he was turned away.I found this behavior not only coldhearted but downright disgraceful. Moved by the injustice, I left the establishment to speak with the man and asked what he intended to buy. It should never fall upon a customer to address the wrongs committed by your staff. These people are human beings, deserving of the same respect and dignity as anyone else. It's appalling that such inhumane treatment could occur here.We will not be returning. I strongly urge you to reflect on the importance of treating everyone with the kindness and respect they deserve, especially those who are already facing difficult circumstances.

I love this little place. Condesa has great tea (I do not drink coffee), food, and service. I came here to study and grade papers. My favorite food is the "GRILLED AB&J, which is almond butter and jelly on grilled Alon's bakery sourdough," or the "ADULT GRILLED CHEESE house made herbed goat cheese and fresh mozzarella grilled on Alon's bakery sourdough." (description taken from their website). The teas I like the most are Ginger Line and Moroccan Mint. If you have a dog you ought to can chill on the patio with them.

My friends find it funny that I love going to coffee shops even though I don't really like coffee, but I honestly go for the ambience and for a nice place to be out and do some work. With that being said, I've been to this establishment a couple times now, and each time has been great! The staff has always been great, and I was surprised that they go out of their way to bring a dish out to you. My favorite item there has to be the Adult Grilled Cheese.! My most recent visit was actually because I kept dreaming about that grilled cheese. The toast is nice and crispy, and the goat cheese addition is simply genius!A quick note about parking: There is no parking lot, but there is plenty of street parking on the street on the other side of the building (Boulevard street)

We were visiting Atlanta & needed a place to grab a bite, get a drink, and chill. Condesa coffee popped up as the closest spot. As soon as you opened the door it had the best vibe! I loved the feel of the place. Our server was also really nice too! I definitely loved that they offered dairy free options & some vegan options as well! I got the iced matcha latte with oat milk & it was delicious. Perfect ratio of matcha & milk. We also split the almond butter and fruit preserve sandwich, which was incredible. It was on sourdough and toasted...it was perfect! I HIGHLY recommend checking this coffee shop out if you're in Atlanta. You won't be disappointed!

Terrible customer service! It was very apparent that the black barrista with the baseball cap and with low expressive affect did not enjoy his job. As tourists from California and New Orleans, this is the worst Southern hospitality I've experienced. He was not welcoming and seemed easily annoyed just because I asked for a cup of water and poured it with attitude from the tap. And he definitely was not accommodating or considerate to elderly cutomers by way of his attitude. I do not recommend this cafe at all for anyone visiting the Martin Luther King, Jr National Park.

I used to love coming to this coffee shop but my recent experiences over the past year have not been great. I came to this shop this afternoon with the expectation that it would be a great place to work, but it wasn't. I went to the front and the barista wasn't all that welcoming and the music was some loud 80s kind of music. I literally had to leave cause I couldn't hear myself think. They still have great adult grilled cheeses, tho.

My new favorite coffee place in Atlanta. Not so much for the area. But Lattes, espresso, etc. Amazing. The service is good, the atmosphere. Definitely coming back next time in the ATL

I'm starting a new job soon so I have been going to random coffee shops to read, and refresh my memory on some things. Today I decided to check out Condesa.I came on a Thursday at around noon, and it wasn't really packed, I stayed until 4 and it never had more then 5 people in it. I ordered an americano and a lox bagel. The Americano was decent, the lox bagel was great! And not like great-for-a-coffee-shop great. Like actually genuinely good. If I got that bagel at a brunch restaurant I would be very happy with it. Chill barista as well.All in all solid coffee shop. I got a decent amount of work done, and it's not too distracting. The only distracting part is homeless people coming in from time to time to get water or use the bathroom. Nothing crazy though. I'll definitely be back!You're welcome.

Great service, solid price I really enjoyed this chai I also really liked that there is outdoor seating
