Mzizi Coffee Roaster

The shop is Swahili and sells Ethiopian coffee. The owner is very nice and took time to greet each of us and ask our names while thanking us for visiting. The shop is in a small shopping strip with private parking shared. There's plenty of tables for working and I didn't check if there's WiFi but with the tables, I'd assume so. He can make any kinda espresso drink from a red eye to cortado to mocha and has drip & French press available as well. He also had a good choice of syrups to flavor the drinks if you want (+.75) I got a white chocolate cold brew and my husband got maple bourbon latte which thinking back we should've chosen unflavored to really try the coffees. The cold brew isn't the strongest I've had and I would've put less syrup given the choice although the creaminess is solid. This isn't a super fancy coffee shop so no latte art and his foam is more cappuccino like vs latte like but the latte is pretty good. The maple bourbon syrup is delicious though. They also have a ton of pastries available to purchase like muffins, danishes, croissants, etc and some desserts like tiramisu that aren't on display but listed on the menu. It's not the best coffee I've had but seems the owner is genuine and deserving of a visit.

The gentleman working here literally knows every customer who walks into this little shop; if he doesn't, he'll make sure he does so next time he can say hi. He's also genuinely very proud of his coffee, and it's definitely quite good! I really felt like it got better and better with each sip...maybe it's also because the service was so personal and friendly. I say give it a try, he will win you over!

Honestly obsessed with this shop! Every time I come in town to visit I buy the beans and take them back to California with me. It's truly a hidden gem. Wi-Fi, lots of seating, lots of drink options and snacks too. The teas smell so good too and are all loose tea. I met the owner too and he is so kind and friendly. I'm always happy to support small businesses and I will continue to come here and recommend to all.

Mzizi is still here plugging along....visit!!! I always complain about having too many Starbucks and not enough independent coffee shops in the east cobb area...here is one. I hope other people will stop in and get a cuppa and enjoy the space. The service is good. The space is quiet and cozy. Give it a try...

This coffee shop is really unassuming from the outside. The inside is decorated with neat prints and art. The coffee is delicious! We had a Chilly Mzizi that was vanilla flavored and a large hot drip coffee with cream. All of the other patrons in the shop were clearly regulars and for good reason. Reasonably priced. The music and customer service was friendly and great too. I would come back for sure if I was in the area.

Comfortable, cozy and communal. The owner is conversational and eve everyone I meet here is as well. It's a true gathering place; s place I truly enjoy spending time in --not to mention the coffee is amazing. Buy a bag or two for a friend.!

So far I've only had great experiences when coming in here, and I have to say I'm happy there is a place I can visit and get actually good coffee, and a kind conversation. The first time we came in here, it was a quiet day, only one other couple in the cafe, so we sat and played chess on one of the tables while the owner made our drinks. The second time we came in, the owner recognized us immediately, and asked us about things I had forgotten I mentioned during the first interaction. All while there were multiple other tables taken up and he clearly had been busy that day, but he made sure to make a point of having that customer connection.Unlike the other coffee shops in the area, the coffee here is actually worth getting. Both vibe for hanging out and sipping on something to drink are on point, and I am so happy I live so close that I can come here but also meet people when I'm out and about. There has been parking every time I've came in too, so I'm never even stressed about time and looking for where to park or anything.The coffee and coffee flavoring selection is great, with something for coffee enthusiasts and people who like something sweet, but they also have a killer tea selection. I think this place is definitely worth a visit so I keep your eye out if you're in the area, and check if they are open to see for yourself!

Fantastic coffee place to go to. Very warm environment, service is amazing and coffee is delicious. If you're wondering whether or not to give it a try. Absolutely!

leaving this review because i just came across and old snapchat video from 2020 of me talking about mzizi- i was basically saying that i had visited a year prior, and had a great experience talking with the owner. i was back in town a year later (middle of pandemic with a mask on) and he instantly remembered not only that i had been there, but all the details of our conversation. so ofcourse when i saw this video of me talking about it i had to look him up to see how's he doing. looking through these reviews you can tell this is not an original experience, he is this kind and genuine to every single person that walks through that door. not to mention the coffee is incredible. if you go here i promise you will not regret it!

The owner is SO sweet. I came in with my brother to study for a while, and I didn't expect anything like this. The owner tries his best to engage with everyone, and it feels so cozy inside. The coffee was amazing and the treats are delicious. It's an environment where even the shyest people can walk out knowing someone new. I'll definitely be coming back and bringing more company. Try this spot out if you're looking for something new!
