Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Marietta

"For classic French cuisine, you’ll not do much better than Bistro Nico. Simple, authentic fare competes with a cocktail list that is guaranteed to test even a nun’s sobriety. The setting is just as spectacular as the menu, with an upscale, sophisticated vibe that’s perfectly in keeping with the French chic of the menu."

"Take your sweetie to enjoy classic French fare at this Buckhead staple. You’ll love the classic red French bistro booths, the open kitchen letting you PEAK into your meal being made, and classic French fare like escargot, perfectly cooked scallops, and profiteroles."

"Parisian art, grand ceilings, and a patio that overlooks Peachtree are just part of what gives this restaurant the appearance of Paris being thrust directly into Georgia."

"With three locations in and around Atlanta Sweet Hut boasts a most unique variety of flavors for their full sized cakes-Passion Fruit Cheesecake , Strawberry Yogurt Mousse, TARO “unique taro root, native to Southern India and Southeast Asia”, Red Velvet and Pandan a tropical plant widely in Southeast Asian cooking as a flavoring. You won’t be able to resist the fantastic array of reasonably priced buns and treats, both sweet and savory, offered at Sweet Hut when you visit. Sip a little bubble tea while you’re there."

Sweet Hut Bakery & Café has several locations all over Georgia and Texas where you can enjoy their delicious desserts and café menu in posh interiors. Their specialties include Asian delicacies, drinks, and snacks, a wide variety of bread, cakes, milk teas and slushies, burgers and sandwiches, and customized cakes."

"Sweet Hut Bakery has five locations around metro Atlanta with cases overflowing with sweet, savory, and downright decadent pastries. For something a little savory, try the black pepper chicken puff or the spring onion hot dog. There’s no shortage of sweet pastries here, including doughnuts, danishes, and vanilla or chocolate buttercream-filled buns."

"Although Hotel Clermont is a 4-star boutique hotel, families (and pets) are welcome here. Pet-friendly family suites, free Wi-Fi, two restaurants, and gorgeous views from the rooftop terrace will keep everyone happy. Tourists will appreciate its central location in Atlanta's Poncey-Highlandneighborhood, just two blocks from Ponce City Market and right across the street from the trendy Java Jive, a 50s-style diner."

"After a long-awaited renovation, the Hotel Clermont, the historic hotel on Ponce de Leon, finally reopened in 2018. The hotel features 94 eclectically decorated rooms, and its restaurant, Tiny Lou’s, is getting national acclaim. Downstairs is the Clermont Lounge, an Atlanta institution where the strippers can be in their 50s or 60s."

"Poncey HighlandHotel Clermont’s vintage-chic rooftop is open for drinks. There’s a $5 cover charge (credit card only) to enter, masks must be worn while inside the building, and once you leave the roof you must leave the hotel."

"Address: 1994 Hosea L Williams Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30317 Site: http://www.dulcevegan.com Phone: 1 404-624-7417 $. Plant-based bakery and café, Dulce Vegan is a cozy space worth checking out in the east end of Atlanta. Though baked vegan treats might be hard to come by in the city, there is no shortage of them here."

"We made the mistake of not trying any of Dulce Vegan Cafe & Bakery’s baked goods, mostly because we started with donuts and were ending with dessert. Instead, we opted to try their breakfast sandwiches. The bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on an English muffin turned out to be fantastic."

"Kirkwood, AtlantaVegan breakfast and lunch baked goods, with gluten-free, soy- free & nut-free items with espresso & tea and custom wedding cakes for ordering."

"Out to the east, not much further than Radio Roasters, really, is the town of Clarkston, sometimes referred to as "the Ellis Island of the South." Kitti and Bill Murray's bootstrapped operation serves more than just coffee; they are providing job training, employment and a focal point for the local (and rather sizeable) refugee community. The whole operation runs out of a disused mid-century gas station, and the coffee still comes from a truck parked out front, and you sit underneath the awning, where the gas pumps used to be (or inside if you like), and while it is certainly not the trendiest spot to sit around and people watch in Atlanta right now, it is absolutely one of the best. (The coffee is very good, too.)"

"Refuge Coffee, in Clarkston, is part darn-good coffee purveyor, part mission-driven community project. The nonprofit started serving out of a 1983 Chevy van and has since graduated to a full-size cafe in a former garage; today the truck still serves as the service counter and houses all the coffee-making supplies. Refuge sources its beans from Savannah, Georgia-based roaster Perc Coffee, and all of the drinks are solid and tasty."

"Refuge Coffee, located just east of the perimeter in the small city of Clarkston, is community-minded and purpose-driven. While great coffee drinks are always on the menu here, this coffee shop’s mission is to provide a safe space for the city’s large refugee community, along with jobs and job training. Coffee is served from one of the shop’s trucks parked outside a 1960s service station."

"I love the open space and decor at this cute cafe near Atlantic Station!. This restaurant has delicious brunch options and small bites featuring Southern comfort foods. Plus, they serve speciality and seasonal espresso drinks and pastries."

"White Windmill is a Korean bakery with locations in both Doraville and Duluth. The bakery offers an impressive array of treats, including flavored coffee and tea lattes, breads, and French and Asian pastries. Try not to over indulge in all of the samples here."

"Marvel at Magnificent MuralsThe city’s vibrant street art is on full display. Many murals come to life during annual collaborative community art events like Forward Warrior, ELEVATE and Living Walls. Artists are drawn to Atlanta to create these must-see canvases throughout the city."

"This particular Trader takes diners to poy paradise, with Polynesian-inspired decor, cuisine, and on occasion, entertainment. It's the home of the "original" Mai-Tai, so while in Trader Joes.... This particular location in the downtown Hilton has been in operation since 1976, and this tiki-bar is definitely high on wow-factor for kids and parents, alike."

"Its SweetWater 420 is the standard for Atlanta craft beer, but it doesn’t rest on its laurels (don’t blame every barbecue and get-together for having 420, because it’s delicious). Even if you’ve tried all of SweetWater’s standard offerings, the brewery is always worth a visit thanks to the Woodlands, an experimental barrel-aged and sour beer-focused brewery. Where: 195 Ottley Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30324"

"Sweetwater is the OG in town, founded in 1997 by two college buddies inspired by the beers they'd had in Colorado. Their ever-expanding taproom is where you can get their well-known beers as well as ones only found here. They also have events throughout the year like music festivals and river cleanups."

"SweetWater brewery has been makin’ tasty brews in the heart of the south since 1997. What started as a pipe dream of two college buddies has turned into a dream job full of great adventures and lip-smackin’ beers. What would you expect from a couple of boys with ..."

"Located adjacent to Lenox Square Mall, in the Shops Around Lenox, this Buckhead restaurant is worth writing home about. For one, Dantanna’s offers a selection of seafood flown in daily. It also has an awesome build-your-own bloody Mary bar."

"Head Downtown to the Twelve Centennial Park Hotel and discover one of the swankiest steak and seafood restaurants in town. This home of juicy steaks and crisp fries might not be th..."
