Ease of ordering, yummy snacks !Enjoy my quarterly visit to the high museum and found myself hungry. What a great place to stop for a light bite and some coffee or tea. Fast and friendly service. Plenty of indoor seating as well as outdoor tables. The prices are fair considering we were in Midtown. I'll be back.

I love the mission behind this shop but their coffee is not the best in my book. The staff were nice but there was also only 2 people in for the weekend, I think they are busier on the weekdays.I think this is a great set up for people to be able to set up and get some work done. There is mostly booths for seating so it is somewhat private but it isn't the place I'd go for the best coffee in the area. They do have food options from pastries to lunch salad and snack foods, it's really nice to have this shop in an area near all the office buildings in the area.

Refuge is a cute little coffee shop attached to the High Museum. I felt like grabbing a nice iced latte out, so I walked over to check them out. This place is a no frills kind of coffee shop, but honestly, the Lavender Latte I ordered was perfect. Just the right amount of syrup to milk/coffee ratio. I didn't get a chance to read all of the signage, but my understanding is that Refuge is attached to a non-profit mission, which I'm always a fan of. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Next time I come back, I look forward to trying a pastry, and I plan to bring my laptop for work.

Cute little spot that's hidden but very close to a lot of places. They had pastries and snacks. Lots of coffee and drink options. Didn't wait long at all to get our drink. Minimal seating inside but there are a lot of spots to sit outside.

This is the best coffee shop to work / study at - the super tall booths are perfect if you need to concentrate. Their coffee is lovely and they've got a ton of great specialty drinks. Also s/o to literally all of their baristas... everyone's so nice!

I've found my new spot to get some work done. What could be better than having a coffee place near a museum? It allows you to blend work with the pleasure of exploring an excellent exhibition. The customer service was friendly and exceptional. What's even more satisfying is that you're contributing to a meaningful cause by supporting refugees. They offer living-wage, full-time jobs, job training, and mentorship for our refugee neighbors. Additionally, they create a safe and welcoming environment for people to gather, enjoy conversations, and savor their coffee. It doesn't get much better than this

Staff is great and location is very accessible. I like coming here after my class at Alliance Theater to get a croissant. They have different types of lattes and pastries, in using the mushroom coffee. The almond croissant is delicious! Prices are on par with the fact that it is in midtown, but not too expensive.

I'd heard a lot about Refuge over the last couple of years, but I'd never had the chance to stop by any of their locations until one Sunday afternoon when my husband and I happened to be hanging out and walking around in the area. First of all, I love their mission to provide job training and development opportunities for refugees and other immigrants--and that we get to play a small role by supporting their business.This location is very small right next to the High, so it's a nice option for grab-and-go, especially for those who may work in the area and want to walk and make one stop for coffee and a quick bite. I noticed a few food items from A Daily Chew, a local restaurant, in the refrigerator and everything sounded delicious. But we were going to be eating soon, so I didn't get anything. There were just a few people in line ahead of me. I ordered a large hazelnut latte, and the wait time was reasonable considering my place in line.The taste of the coffee beans wasn't the best I've had/as strong as I would have liked, but it was a good cup of coffee, the staff members were kind, the service was quick, and the establishment was clean. A good experience overall. Thank you!

The space is tiny but cute. I got an iced latte with lavender. It's not too sweet. It has a slight aftertaste to the coffee, which is why I gave it 4 stars. It's very convenient to some of the museums in the area!

I ate here a few weeks ago during UPS Second Sunday. Luckily the line was not long at all, and there was still seating when my friends and I were there. We did sit outside on the patio (despite scorching temperatures), but they do have an awning so there is a little shade. I just got an everything bagel with cream cheese. It's nothing to the likes of Brooklyn Bagels in Ansley Park, but it served its purpose - a.k.a. my hungry belly!
