“ Came across this place while visiting the restaurant next door. This was my first time in the area. In my opinion this place should be a must go the reason for this is, they are truly happy to teach the young ones about their culture. While you shop there they give back to the youths in the neighborhood, this is why it needs to be a must go. Lots of books and beautiful copper jewelries with crystals @ a great price. I am truly bless to walk into this shop and find beautiful stuff to share with my friends and family. More so myself. They deserve more stars than 5. Oh yeah, they have shows that goes on as well. ”
“ Really cool place to hang out and have some delicious coffee! Stopped by on my way from the airport and discovered this place because of Google!! The owner was there and was very welcoming, so was the barista. There are pretty cool books and art available too. They let me know that they usually have open-mic night on Thursdays so go check it out! ”
“ The best coffee in GA for my Mom's. And yum that Bean pie with my Thai Tea Latte keeps this family coming back. In addition, the quantity and the quality of books far exceeds ones expectation. Don't forget to represent with a new T-Shirt.....Check out my bathroom decor. ”
“ Amazing. Delicious. Love it. Matcha latte so yummy not too sweet. They have oat milk! Smoked Salmon sandwich was so delicious. I need another one asap. The sandwich was so good I couldn't even get a picture. ”
“ Very warm and inviting atmosphere with excellent customer service. In addition to that the flavor of the coffee is the best I've ever had and they have great options! Pour overs, lattes, frappes etc. Highly recommend for a relaxing environment where you can read or get some work done and have a great coffee, or tea with light foods options. ”
“ I want to say a few things about this place! The atmosphere is great but the customer service is even better! I walked in and was greeted. I walked towards the counter and the young lady named Jay helped me out. To be honest I was looking for a Starbucks but it wasn't any around. I googled this place and I said to myself ill try it out. I asked for a starbucks drink and Jay said we don't have it but I know how to make it. When I tell you this girl made a great iced coffee it was dope! These are the things I would have to say to this place to make it better because I want this place to stay here! -Provide more food items in the morning because I wanted to spend more money. -I think you guys should provide larger size options because I wanted more of the coffe she made. -I love love love the black items that you guys are selling please never change that! ”
“ I stopped by while visiting my family and I absolutely loved this place. The vibes were chill and the aesthetic was homely and calm. They sell different beverages and they even made my husband a special chai tea because he didn’t know what to order. Be sure to check out the book selections, jewelry, stones, and cleansers too! ”
“ Love, Love, Love it!!! This black-owned gem is EVERYTHING!!! Fresh coffee, hot buttery croissants, & books!! What’s not to love!! It is quaint shop with great music and a definite African flair with amazing art and local made items to purchase! I ordered a latte made with Bali Natural. It’s a full bodied medium roast that was amazingly smooth and delicious!! I’m usually a dark roast drinker but this was everything!!! Oh and the Bombe Natural is delicious as well! You can really taste the blueberry and strawberry notes! It just has a natural sweetness. We even got a coffee lesson from the owner, Kaz!! He was so knowledgeable and friendly! Tay was too!! I walked away with a coffee lesson, free Juneteenth books for my grandsons, and future business prospects!!! ”
