Although they are still completing renovations, the Golden Drop Cafe has a very welcoming vibe and comforting ambiance. The gentleman that helped me and the Barista were very informative and passionate about their coffee, from the source of the coffee to the preparation that went into making it. I ordered a large golden latte and honestly it is one of the best tasting coffees that I have ever had. It is very smooth and somewhat buttery, not bitter at all. I believe it has cinnamon, cane sugar, ginger and pepper. The cinnamon and ginger are a perfect combination. You cannot taste the pepper, but it tingles the taste buds ever so slightly. The cost was very comparable to other coffee chain stores, but much better quality. I dont really know how to review coffee, but I really look forward to going back to Golden Drop to try other items. I would recommend others to stop by and give them a try.

Im now remiss for the number of times Ive driven by this truely lovely, personal cafe without dropping in. The Golden Latte is a spice-infused take on a classic, and the best iteration Ive ever tasted. Couple it with the well-prepared gauva cheese empanada and youre in for a treat. Also, be sure to chat with the owner, Victor (I believe). Hes a wealth of knowledge about all things coffee, and pleasent dude. I actually stopped in after dropping my dog off for surgery, and could not stopped a more peaceful place to take my mind off that for a few moments.

The absolute worst coffee shop ever. I never post reviews but this place just got under my skin. For two small simple coffees, that is in between an espresso size and small(tiny), it cost $8.30?!?!? Then I questioned him after my wife paid and he acted like he couldnt speak English. Not only did he rip us off, the coffee was so watered down it didnt have any taste at all. Needless to say I will never go back nor recommend this place to anyone.

This is a wonderful new cafe that I happened to stumble upon. Coffee beans are all natural, single-origin, procured from El Salvador, and brewed to perfection. No oily residue (usually evidence of over-roasting), this is more of a medium roast. Further, they serve an array of hispanic baked goods, pastry sweets, and small meals. Great patio area, dog friendly, and the staff is joyous and amicable - making the experience well worth it!

Wow! Wow! Wow! Amazing atmosphere! Friendly! Super great food. We are Vegan so always face challenges with finding places that accommodate our diet. The chief even made us a special dish. I have never had such a great experience like I did here. I ate the veggie empanadas and we had a special side. And the coffee! Definitely the best I ever had (Carmel latte with soy).

If anyone is really into good tasting coffee this little coffee shop is perfect for you! Golden Drops Cafe features Brazilian treats and coffee creations made by Ecuadors number one barista (2015) from coffee beans straight from Ecuador. The coffee and treats were amazing!! The ambiance needed work but I would rather pay for good coffee than atmosphere.

The Golden Latte is the single best cup of coffee Ive ever had! The owner is super friendly! The menu changes a bit more frequently than I prefer, but its reasonably priced and delicious - empanadas are a mainstay. They had this absolutely delicious "yucca spaceship" that seems to be of the menu indefinitely - pretty bummed about that.

Victor and the crew here do an amazing job. The Golden latte is to die for!! Its on the sweet side but has a kick you wont find anywhere else. Ive been here a number of times and each trip is worth the wait. Got the Cuban for lunch today - oh my word delicious!! Picked up an Uber yummy beef empanada for an afternoon snack as well.

Solid coffee and a very kind owner made for a solid start. Add in some yummy South American pastries and plenty of indoor and patio seating, and its a given Ill be back. The only improvement to be made at this point would be a few well placed outlets on the patio so I could camp out with my laptop, but alas, nothings perfect.

I met a friend here today for a cappuccino and it was beautifully finished and delicious. The barista was super friendly and has won awards in El Salvador. Next time Ill ask for less sugar but thats just personal taste. The heart of palm savory pastry was delicate and buttery.

Absolutely phenomenal! The staff takes the time to craft each beverage with care and it truly shows. Could not be more in love with the Golden Latte from the Latin menu. Relaxed atmosphere close to the Emory Clairmont Campus, which is perfect for commuters like me!

I had a wonderful experience at Golden Drops! Not only was the Golden Latte phenomenal, but I enjoyed talking to Victor about his El Salvadorian roots and how the coffee is prepared. I would highly recommend this coffee shop to anyone in the Decatur area.

Outstanding coffee (taste and presentation) and very comfortable. I had their signature drink, The Golden Latte (okay, maybe I had two). All their coffee is sourced from a high end farm in El Salvador. Try it for yourself, you wont be disappointed.

Nice, clean place. Very friendly staff, great coffee. Wish they had tables and power outlets outside, would be fun to hang out there for a while. The sfiha, tamale and poptato croquet stuffed with meat were excellent.

These guys love coffee. They buy terrific beans directly from a grower and roaster in El Salvador. They make a solid Cubano sandwich and the counter staff are super kind. Its pleasure to come in and have a coffee.

Very good coffee - clean and not bitter. Food can be uneven... Sometimes a bit greasy. In fact the shop can smell of old fry oil on occasion. Overall we are rooting for this shop to make a go of it.

I usually brew my own coffee so I dont often get out to the coffee shops around town ... but this place is good. I had their expresso and Id get it again if I have the chance. Good stuff.

Excellent coffee with a really cool story behind the source - ask the owner. Very nice service and the food was really good. The Argentina empanada was legit, so was the chicken arepa.

Best Coffee I had speaking from a person that never had good coffee before, now I had the experience of having good service and great coffee all in one shop. Would go back again 10/10

Amazing coffee. Best in town. However, you must ask the barista to make it his way. Also ask him the story behind the coffee. Amazing Cuban sandwiches. The chef is actually Cuban!

The food and drinks are brilliantly authentic, but the real draw is the customer service. The owners and staff are FANTASTIC. Skipping out on this place would be a major mistake!
