Joe’s East Atlanta Coffee Shop

Came here on a work-​from-​home day on a weekday mid-​morning. Easy to find street parking at this time of day and the place was busy enough but still easy to find a table with a outlet. Hipster vibes with interesting décor and music and a range of furniture to meet your mood – couches, small tables, community type tables or an old-​school desk for serious vibes. Ordered a double almond milk latte and it was made just right, hot and not too bitter or overly sweet. Seemed more reasonably priced than other coffee shops in the area. There were a selection of sweet snacks and even some GF cupcakes. Although I didn’t try them, I wish they had more savory options. All in all, great place to hang out and get some serious work done with some fun vibes to keep you company.

Watery cold brew every-​time I go there. Please stop diluting the concentrate as much as you do, it doesn’t taste right. Scared to try their espresso. Lame art. I appreciate the place being here but it could be done better.

Absolute favorite place to study. I drive 10 miles to this coffee shop because of the vibe, baristas, and of course the amazing lemon zinger cake. I try to introduce the place to friends as much as possible. Sure there are many coffee shops I pass to make it here, but the service is what sets this one apart.

Best coffee!!! Seriously!!! Great service. Plus a hip environment! :)

A pretty nice spot. Could easily be a regular jam if I lived in the area.
Came in on a quiet weekday afternoon, so not a lot of patrons were patronizing. People there seemed chill, there is adequate couch seating and table seating and cool modern-​art type of power strip outlet towers.
Good coffee.

Very spacious, inviting space. Love the local artwork and patio out back. The coffee can be a bit sweet if you get a «princess» drink, but they’ll gladly do less pumps of the mocha or what have you. Parking is all around EAV. I’ve seen some people reading spoken word poetry here and night and I really enjoyed it. It’s nice to have a coffee shop in the neighborhood and one that has been around since I can remember.

My favorite coffee shop! The vibe is relaxed (never pretentious!). They are always welcoming and take the time to make you a quality drink. Love them so!

Need a good place to chillax, study, drink bitchin’ coffee and hang out with super cool folks? Joe’s East Atlanta Coffee Shop should be #1 on your list. I love, love, love this place.
I came here the other day with some friends from Emory after a class. We wanted a place with wifi, goodies and caffeine. One of my peers suggested Joe’s and being new to the area, I had no other suggestions. I was really glad he brought me here. I will become a regular for sure.
The menu offers some fancy and not so fancy beverages, many sweet treats and other odds and ends. We grabbed a few coffees and a couple treats and a community table.
The décor is super cool. Kind of vintage meets modernity. There are sofas that are super comfy, but we needed to study, so comfort was not needed. I feel like I might have run into random members of Nirvana here many years ago, it was so nostalgic.
The service was top shelf, to match the product and the atmosphere. I will return and bring all my friends.

I was in Atlanta for the weekend and stayed at an Airbnb in East Atlanta because they mentioned they were walking distance from a great coffee shop. Perfect! Both my latte and cold brew (for the walk home) were exactly what I was looking for. Loved sitting outside in the courtyard on the free wifi. Staff was friendly and fun. Loved Joes.

Grungy spot in east atlanta that fits neighborhood well. Garden and open air seating in the back under the shade is great. Lattre was sans artisan design and more importantly, not as much pep in the step once its down the hatch as you’ll find at other coffee spots, like drip.
The vibe is cool. Hope they put more an experience on the latte creation and strength of espresso. For now, order an extra shot of espresso in your drink.

This place is exactly what you would picture when you imagine a hipster coffee shop. I spent my afternoon here reading. I’m trying out different coffee shops in/​around Atlanta, and this place is near the top of my list. It’s a really chill vibe with a variety of seating options in case you have a strong preference of chairs over couches or vice versa. This is also a good place to people watch (hipsters in their natural habitat).

This would be a great coffee shop if not for the swarms of gnats in the bathroom and even in the main area. It’s hard to enjoy their otherwise good coffee and cakes if you have to swat away insects every few seconds. Wifi was also slow and unstable the afternoon I was there.

I had a delicious piece of cake and an okay cup of coffee. It’s a cool hangout — very chill and generally free of d-​bags. I will return but not sure how to get them to make my cappuccino right…

Sitting here right now. Sipping my dirty chai. It’s to die for. Got a nice, cozy spot against the brick wall. Enjoying the Jazz. Not too loud, chatty or distracting. Tapped into wifi getting this work done!

Joe’s is a 5 minute walk from my house, so I go there often. The service is always quick and accurate to your order and the pastries are really, really good. Like, REALLY good. My go to is an iced coffee and a Danish, but you couldn’t go wrong with any of their baked options. Joe’s is great!

Stopped by for the first time Tuesday while driving through Atlanta. I loved the vibe of this place and the baristas were warm and friendly. I will definitely return soon.

Interesting coffeeshop that seems to attract a broad range of people. Not the easiest area to find a parking lot – lots of one-​way streets etc. Their products are nice, and they have a good bit of seating; I think it’d be an ideal place for group study.

I recently read a article off of Huffington Post that this is one of the top ten places to go for coffee in the US. My exception was really high for this place but after drinking a decent iced chai and mocha, it wouldn’t be consider my «top 10» coffee place. I would say though that the atmosphere here is very hip and unique. I love the artwork they have and would consider this place for a comfortable area to work, coffee date, or even have a meeting here.

my favorite place to get coffee and camp out for a long time
nice staff, good music playing, nice group of folks hanging out in there.

Simply love this place. Stumbled upon it while having some work done to my car. The sweets and treats are awesome. Can’t wait to visit again
And the music? Music you say? Well in the morning its hits from the 70’s really laid back thought the Temptations were coming through the door any minute now. But I bet this place could turn up with an open mic night.

Vibe: hipster ambience. Coffee: solid and serviceable. Peanut butter and chocolate cake: divine

Love the comfy chairs. Went in to do a little reading and research as well as check out the area, I just moved to Atlanta. I wanted to try something different but the guy at the counter suggested a regular iced coffee to me, because there would be more flavor and caffeine. Any place that will steer me away from a more expensive item is definitely a place where I’d spend more time and money.

Another great spot in East Atlanta. A friendly face behind the counter, yummy baked goods, expertly made coffee drinks. Add some free wi-​fi, and I’m a happy man.
Joe’s is comfortable. With plenty of good and comfy seating, some nice tables for heated technological discussions, and even a desk, if you’re feeling a little executive in your actions.
Good stuff. I’ll happily recommend this place to anyone. Holler if you’ll be joining me.

On a whim I stopped here on my way home from a work trip in ATL to Birmingham. With all the high reviews I had to stop at Joes over starbucks. It was worth every penny. I’m going to do this review in 2 parts:
1^st– the drink and food:
My americano was delicious. Their espresso has a crap ton of flavor and is super tasty going down. I also had an everything bagel and it was yum. They have a rainbow cake that looks like a heavenly dream. I must try it next time.
2^nd– the service:
While I was there the 2 guys behind the bar where so nice and talkative, Manny and Anan. But the kicker is I left my debt card there and I didn’t realize it until I was 3 hours and home in Birmingham! I call hours later and Anan said he looked all over social media to find me and was so happy to hear from me! He than offered to mail my card to me. Free of charge.
I am blown away by their service to go above and beyond to get me my card and not to mention to make a bad ass espresso drink. I love this place and will share this store for the next 100 days and beyond!

Corporate coffee chains will never be welcome in our neighborhood thanks to awesome businesses like Joe’s. We actually buy our coffee beans from Joe’s because it is that good.
If you are a fan of local artist R. Land, his art pieces can be purchased here.

This place makes me happy. Their lattes are pretty good too.

Joe’s fix probably the coolest most comfortable coffee shop I have been to in Atlanta.
Their variety of seating caters to all types! Big comfy couches, bar tops, tables EVEN A WHOLE OFFICE DESK!!!
The staff was incredible! Their customer service was so warm and friendly! Even though this was my first visit, they made me feel like I was a regular. Keep up the good work guys!

Came by for some coffee and loved it! Conveniently located in the heart of East Atlanta Village. The latte was delicious as was the carrot cupcake.
The ambiance was great and there are PLENTY of plugs which is so convenient!
Can’t wait to visit again!

Street parking. Hone your parallel parking skills.
Looks hipster here but not trendy.
Many different types of seating.
Many different types of drinks, ranging from unconventional to conventional. Coffee, iced drinks, espresso, etc.
I got the mint mocha which does not lack in mint aroma.
Customer service is baseline.
All in all, an OK place to hang out and read. It’s not very unique.

This place is pretty dope. They have great coffee and an atmosphere that’s great for your typical EAV hipsters. The staff is also very respectful and laid back.
Today was the first time that I’ve bought coffee grounds from a coffeeshop and I’m so glad that I did. I purchased their decaf coffee (the name begins with an «I»… I know that doesn’t really help), which is smooth tasting with a flavor that’s slightly nutty with a hint of honey.
This place is also in an awesome location relative to the main roads. Sometimes I stop by for a bagel if I don’t have time to make breakfast on my way to school. Sadly, I only go for the coffee or bagels since I’m not into the old furniture. Likewise, I get horrible AT&T cell service in EAV, it’s a little too noisy for me to study (not loud but distracting for someone with concentration issues), and the lighting is kind of dim.
Nevertheless, I would still recommend it to others. Plus I have friends who like it as a study spot.

Initial impression: As soon as you walk in, you know it’s a neighborhood coffee joint. A very cool, relaxed-​vibe interior. There are a lot of R. Land’s pieces on the walls, which is always a good sign (look him up in you don’t know his art). There are a mish mosh of tables and chairs which is cool but I could see it being a bit awkward when crowded. There is a large desk right in the middle with a lamp that allows the lucky occupant to feel like he/​she is the boss of the joint — cool if you need a lot of space and are lucky enough to snag this spot.
The baristas were super friendly and welcoming. I got the café au lait which was delicious and my husband got the Jittery Joe — which is coffee with a shot of espresso — so if you are into that sort of thing it’s good (according to the hubs).
There are a decent amount of snacks and sweet treats, so if you need something to eat you should be covered. On this trip we didn’t give any a taste but we will definitely check it out on the next visit.
Street parking. Free WiFi.
Everyone seemed happy and comfortable. Definitely a spot we’ll frequent often.

I LOVE coming to Joe’s here in EAV. It’s such a great place to hang out and get a shitload of work done. The people are way nice that work here but this low review is based on the food/​drink I had today.
1^st, I wasn’t a fan of the caramel frappé. It had a weird, bitter taste to it and it was actually hard to finsh.
2^nd, whatever you do… AVOID THE RAINBOW CAKE! That was easily the worst 4 bucks I have ever spent. I actually tossed ½ of it because it was so dry and tasteless. I’ll probably have to get a to-​go milk from teh corner store on the way home. Won’t be going with either of those options again.

I always love stepping into a coffee shop for the first time. There’s so much to take in. The coffee smell, the art on the walls, the pastry case, the people lounging in the café, the community board overflowing with «adopt me» and «5K» flyers. Every coffee shop has it’s own vibe and makes it’s own first impression. Joe’s is no exception.
I stopped in early on a Saturday morning, making an effort to forgo my normal spots and live a little. There were several things about Joe’s that loved right away-​the R. Land art hanging on the walls, the «lived in» look of the café, and the hipster vibe. It was evident that I was entering a «local» coffee shop as opposed to a chain coffee shop where visual standards are practiced.
The baristas were friendly and seemed to enjoy what they were doing. I ordered a latte made with almond milk. It was a little weaker than I am used to, so I know next time to go for the second shot of espresso. I also had a cinnamon bagel, which I was able to toast myself! I love a self serve toaster in a coffee shop.
There is lots to love about Joe’s and I look forward to visiting again.

A solid coffee shop with a good atmosphere. If you’re going there to work, no worries, they have plenty of outlets and seating. I was there on a Saturday afternoon, which is typically busy time, but there was plenty of room. The wifi was password protected, but I assume they do this so only paying customers get the password from the baristas.
I had a mocha this past visit (don’t judge me). If you’re used to a Starbucks mocha, it’s way less sweet. Depending on how sweet you want your coffee to be, this can be a good thing.
Parking is street parking, and there are no meters. It’s EAV though, so it gets busy at nights.
There’s plenty of coffee shops in Atlanta, but definitely try this one if you have the chance.
