Absolutely the best coffee shop in Atlanta! You'll have to go to the gate & dial the coffee shop to be let in, as the shop is inside a gated apartment complex. Don't let that stop you, though — the coffee shop has direct access to the Chattahoochee River, and you can sit along the bank while sipping your excellent beverage. Closed to the public on Sundays.
