East Pole

Easily one of the best cafes in Greater Atlanta! By this point, I think I have worked from most of the "popular" cafes in the ATL area, and this stands out as one of the best. Let me try to explain why. Food - One of the best Cortado and Cappuccino I have had. They also have seasonal lattes which can be good. The prices are very reasonable. The only drink I would recommend avoiding is "Chocolate Milk". I didn't like it at all. Apart from that, everything I had was amazing. Also, try their Almond/Chocolate croissant. It's really good!Service - Some of the most friendly baristas I have come across in Atlanta. Very quick and great attention to detail. Ambiance - This is the best part of the cafe! If you are looking for a good place to work in the area, look no further. They have every kind of seating arrangement you can imagine - benches, 2-person tables, bar tables, huge desks, etc. There are both indoor and outdoor seating. You can get both quiet areas for meetings and louder areas for discussions and conversations. Parking - Abundant! You can street park right outside. Otherwise, there are retail parking spaces 1-2 minutes walk. It's beside a cheese shop called Capella (which is also a must-try!). Location - If you don't drive, this cafe is not for you. It's a little out of the way for public transport or even walking. This is the only "negative" I can think of. Great lattes, limited food options, best working spaces, and a great outdoor patio! One of the best cafes I have been to in Atlanta.

East Pole Coffee Co. has roasteries and coffee bars in Atlanta and Birmingham. The Atlanta-based company values the power of relationships, whether with their coffee producers, wholesale customers, or coffee bar patrons. East Pole's first store is located in the Armour Yards neighborhood, with a second Atlanta location in Poncey Highland. Both Atlanta locations offer beautifully designed spacious interiors with plenty of natural light, nautical design pieces, and bluish hues. The Poncey Highland location offers limited seating. The Armour Yards location shares a building with Coyote and Capella Cheese. The facility entrance features a large coworking space with plenty of outlets and even some cushions in addition to outdoor seating. East Pole Coffee Co. strives to provide exceptional service. I love that they bring your coffee/tea to your seat. I love their coffee and Spirit Teas (especially the Firefly Black Tea) and also purchase coffee beans on-site. The Armour Yards location has a pretty solid Iced Peach Tea.

We had the two savory options: chorizo and the second potato. Both were delicious and the chorizo had such a blend of clove in it, that tasted just my grandpas homemade chorizo. I espresso is finely balanced with the milk- it's hard to have such dialed in coffee and I would say this place is definitely a great specialty place. Great seating areas. Definitely a bit pricey but you are getting specialized coffee so it's usually that price range unless you are in Portland, Or. Go on a payday. Service was lovely and you can tell the staff is really into what they are doing.

I prefer to post reviews of positive experiences, however, I was so disappointed in my treatment and lack of response from management that I believe it is necessary to post. My barista was rude, acted as though it pained him to take my order & lectured me on my choice in what I wanted to put in my beverage in a very judgmental/condescending way. I wasn't asking for his lofty opinion & unwarranted rebuke for what I chose to drink- I was simply placing an order. Additionally, I was the only Black customer besides my guest and I noticed the same Barista treating the white customers with smiles and a very welcoming and pleasant disposition. East Pole Coffee management did not respond to an email that I sent detailing the incident. Consequently, I'll take my "green" money elsewhere where my patronage and presence is valued.

Parking is easy. I have liked their specials only. they need to bring the tahini coffee back and then rose coffee as an everyday coffee option!!

East Pole is a go-to for coffee enthusiasts! My husband is a coffee nerd and loved his cortado. The interior is charming, though finding seating can be a challenge due to this being a popular spot to work. There are limited tables and a huge bleacher with seat cushions. Not super ideal when you have a baby with you. Big thanks to a kind man who gave up his table for us.Don't miss the delightful five daughters croissant donuts on weekends!

I loved the seasonal drink today- an orange cardamom cappuccino with some salt flakes on top. It was so yummy, balanced, creative, and flavorful from the buttery foam when it reaches your mouth to the orange and cardamom flavor in the body to the salty flavor at the end of the sip. The other drink was an oat milk latte that was solid. The espresso was really good on both drinks. I only give this place a 4 because there have been times the drinks are fantastic like today and other days when the espresso will taste a bit off and make the drink not so good. The service and vibes were great too. This is one of my favorite Atlanta coffee shops for sure

The first sip of the honey latte and instantly I knew this was a top quality coffee shop. It was the perfect level of sweetness and richness. I'd love to come again to try their vanilla latte. We got a bag of their traffic coffee bean for my boyfriend's mom to try so we're excited to see how it tastes!

Nice coffee spot off the beaten path. Location and Parking Located in Buckhead, parking is free along the street in front of the shop. Venue and Atmosphere The shop is clean and full of natural light. There is plenty of table and bar seating inside the shop, with additional tables and outlets in the lobby area. There are large widows allowing ample amounts of natural light. Service Service was prompt, courteous, and efficient. Food and Beverages The iced latte with honey syrup was solid, as was the cinnamon roll. The breakfast empanada was also delicious. Verdict I'll be back, solid choice for workspace, drinks, and food.

Pricey but good place to study/work. Sandwich stop next door is a good touch. There's a big open area next to the shop with tons of seating room
