Atlanta Coffee Roasters is located right off of North Druid Hills and Lavista and has been sitting on our list of places to investigate for at least a year. Finally, finally we checked it off. This post summed up: Not worthy of the drive, especially for all you city snobs like myself. Atmosphere- ...or should I say lack-thereof? ACR has nothing to offer in this regard. The interior is dim and dingy which pushes you outside to enjoy your coffee, however the exterior presents you with a parking lot view of the Toco Hills shopping center. Coffee- I cant completely dismiss ACR because this cafe does create good coffee drinks, and without good coffee theres really no point. My cinnamon latte was delicious and extremely frothy...yummmm... and Anand admitted that his coffee was nice as well. They do sell an incredible variety of whole beans which range from your classic go-to Colombian roast all the way to a Snickerdoodle blend. Service- When it comes to a coffee shop Im looking for a friendly barista who serves coffee with pride and genuinely likes what he does. The one employee working when we stopped in was quick and got the job done, but he didnt contribute anything more than that. Location- The Toco Hills shopping area reminds me of a suburban strip mall. Location= fail. Legitimacy- If it werent for my friend who mentioned this coffee shop to me I wouldnt ever have heard of it, which goes to say that this cafe doesnt carry much of a reputation.

The two times I called, during business hours, got a recorded message that they were open and replenishing their inventory. I could leave a message, which I did. All I wanted to know was if they had Kona beans in stock. The first time I called, I left my phone number, twice in the message, but by 430pm the next day, nobody had bothered to return my call. When I called late in the afternoon the next business day and during business hours, I got their machine again so I took the opportunity to comment on their very poor customer service. I went to J. Martinez Coffee and got my Kona beans. Now there is an establishment that knows how to treat a customer. So much for patronizing local neighborhood stores. Im just tickled pink that this place has so much business they can afford to blow off potential new customers.

Went once, loved their beans. Hours are impossible though. I dont mean to blame them, but its just really difficult to get in there. Literally the only time a person with a standard 9-5 can go is on Saturday. And the last Saturday I went they were randomly closed! Im sure they ran some numbers and figured out most profitable hours... but if their desired customer is like me, they are missing out on a lot of business!

I have never actually been ACR, but I purchase all of our beans by phone or online and have them shipped to me. Their coffee is the best. We started buying beans at Starbucks, but Id have to be truly desperate to back to them. ACR is so much better. I usually purchase about 6 pounds of coffee per shipment, and freeze five. Bill knows his coffee!!!

These guys know more about coffee than I know about ANYTHING! They work hard to make sure the quality is consistently high, offer great advice, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Whether you are buying to drink in the shop or you are stocking up for home, its a great place. My only complaint is that its 30 minutes from my house.

"nuff said. No, Google says that a review must be at least one hundred characters. Oh, boy. No, I havent gotten there yet." I think youre referring to starbucks thats actually inside the Kroger thats physically next door. This is a coffee roaster that produces fantastic coffee, not "another Starbucks inside a Kroger".

Amazingly good coffee and not another Starbucks. They focus on the beans and roast and a good base flavor, not on how much sugar will keep you addicted to the flavor. Their coffee does not require cream and sugar to be enjoyable. I love the atmosphere, the price, but most of all a really good cup of coffee!

I love coffee and have traveled the world looking for great coffee in a comfortable atmosphere. ACR gets an A++++ on both of these items. Their coffee tastes fresh and smells awesome. The workers are friendly (but not too much), chairs are comfortable and there is free wifi! The owners are chilled too! Enjoy.

Probably the best coffee in Atlanta, several coffee options to choose from. Only problem is that they are not consistently open. I took some high profile clients there a week or two ago and was embarrassed to tell them that the best coffee shop in town was temporarily closed.

The people here are always friendly and knowledgeable, and they offer a wide variety of choices from all over the globe at prices on par with the bigger coffee chains. Be warned, though... the freshness of their coffee may ruin your taste for the chain stores completely!

Great coffee roasted right on the premises, combined with a homey laid back ambiance makes this an irresistible venue to hang out and pass some quality time. Bill Letbetter has created a gem in the middle of Toco Hill.

These guys have the absolute best coffee in Atlanta. Im a coffee aficionado (and used to roast my own beans), and the coffee here cant be beaten. This is the only place Ill buy beans.

By far the best coffee in Atlanta. There is really no comparison. If you like buying whole bean coffee and brewing it at home, this is your spot.

Seems like a great place to pick up whole beans and other brewing supplies. Dont go there for a nice cappuccino.

Fantastic coffee and great variety. Courteous staff. Roasted on site, so it doesnt get much fresher than this.
