I was headed to the VA Hospital next door and I know wait times are long so I needed food and coffee. All the intersections are so busy and it's not easy to just stop at a drive thru but Golden Drops is in the perfect location to avoid that. It's outdoor and indoor seating. I'd like to think like a work or study spot. Almost everyone had a laptop and head phones so I'm adding this to my list for that.The staff was so nice and bilingual which is always a plus. I had the beef empanada and wish I got two. The pastry was perfectly crispy and airy and they didn't shy away with the filling. I also ordered and Americano con Leche (with oat milk) with whipped cream. They also have alcohol available for the extra kick or wind down. It was a great accidental stop and next time it will definitely be on purpose! It was not to quiet and all windows for the sun to come in. 10/10

This is a great location. I love the covered patio, and I love that they offer so many interesting food choices. Here's the thing, though, it's just not good :/I've tried it on three different occasions. Two were mediocre, and the last visit was just bad. The food is often bland, stale, or both. The lattes are weak and lukewarm. I really want to like this places, but it just isn't for me.

Get the Cuban sandwich. Thank me later. Location and Parking Located in North Druid hills, parking is free and there is a decent sized lot around the building. Venue and Atmosphere The shop is small inside, but there is plenty of covered outdoor seating. There are few plugs, so please be aware of that if you plan on working from "home." Service Service was prompt, courteous, and efficient. Food and Beverages The golden latte is served with a helping of cinnamon and vanilla notes. The Cuban sandwich was cooked to perfection, definitely one of the best in ATL. Verdict I'll return one day!

I love their golden latte. It is definitely the best around and worth stopping by for that drink alone.

I found this place through Yelp and is a great local cafe. This place is pretty small on the inside but it has a spacious patio. They will bring the food to you and clean up after you if you Dine-in. I noticed a few people were using this place as an internet cafe.I ordered the Cuban sandwich, Golden Latte, and Caribbean beef empanada. The Cuban sandwich had a great taste but it did not come with any mustard on the side. The pork was pulled pork and the ham was deli sliced. Decent but not special. The Golden Latte is amazing. You can taste the cinnamon. The empanada was nicely fried and filled.

So you want a good cup of coffee to start your morning? Yeah, me too. Hence my motivation to walk up the street from the cozy Emory campus in need of a cuppa. And I found one!Golden Drops is easy to find off Clairmont & easy to enjoy in about any weather. Great covered patio space with accent lighting! My visit was in the morning (when it was unseasonably warm), so an opportunity to be in the shade while I enjoyed my pourover was just what the doctor ordered. So while I do like me some handcrafted coffee, I will carp ever so lightly that a pourover shouldn't run me in the $6+ neighborhood. Points for the flavor, but meh for the value. It was good, but not amazing.Golden Drops also serves up items of the drink, as in the adult bottle nature. I didn't have an opportunity to partake in those, as it was still 8:00 in the morning, but I may be back just for that. Nice sightlines for several TVs, a fair space in which to enjoy your drink inside or out, and a great menu. Worthy of all four stars, and if we could do half-stars, then it would be a 4.5.

Absolutely my FAVORITE coffee shop in Atlanta metro! Not only because of their incredibly yummy Golden Latte and Caribbean food with some Brazilian favs thrown in the mix, but more importantly, because of the people who run it! Victor, the owner and Juan, the best barista ever! They are some of the kindest, loving and generous people you will ever meet! They have welcomed me and my ATL Crew of actors with opened arms and the best sense of community It's our favorite place to relax, have coffee, food, conversation and even work from our laptops. I just can't say enough about this wonderful coffee shop and community staple in Decatur. If you haven't visited yet, please do so ASAP and give Victor and Juan my regards!

I don't make reviews. Ever. But this place has the best coffee I've ever had. I am so mad I didn't try this place earlier. Inquired about the coffee source and received the whole story of the place. They are proud of their history. Friendly staff.
