A Guide to Alpharetta Coffee Shops
Valor Coffee
Near and dear to the heart of downtown, Valor is one of the most aesthetically gifted coffee shops in Alpharetta, given its warm earthy tones set against minimalistic white walls, vibrant plants, chic furnishings, blue-green accents, amenities for a productive day, and tantalizing aroma of java that’s been roasted in-house. The picturesque decor serves as an accomplice to thoughtfully crafted, rewardingly delicious seasonal beverages, scrumptious pastries, and lite bites.
Warm Waves Coffee House
On Main Street and just off the square, Warm Waves treats visitors to small-batch roasted coffee enhanced by house-made syrups in a beautiful setting dappled with comfy couches, posh armchairs, and touches of greenery. The attention to detail that has gone into designing this cozy abode with a delightful balance of charm and utility makes it an easy go-to for daytime meetings with colleagues, long overdue coffee dates, and solo study sessions.
The Nest Cafe
Occupying one gorgeous brick building, The Nest offers guests a lively, downtown atmosphere complemented by breakfast, brunch, and lunch, as well as some award-winning coffee, espresso, tea, and gelato. From gluten-free wraps to vegan and vegetarian options, there’s a flavorful plate for everybody here, plus, should you meander on in at the tail end of an exhaustive work week, feel free to take a load off with a crisp craft beer or fruity mimosa!
July Moon Bakery Cafe
To those Instagram connoisseurs of cuteness ever on the prowl for all things pink and pretty, search no further than July Moon, an award-winning Asian bakery and cafe concept featuring bánh mì, bubble tea, java, and desserts. The gem among Alpharetta coffee shops can be found nestled inside The Maxwell – an open-air wellness, shopping, and dining destination that comes complete with lush, park-like landscapes. Settle into a sun-drenched corner and pass the time with a friend, stop by for a quick snack while exploring the area, or grab a sweet treat for that special somebody on your way home.
Fuel Coffee Cafe
Snuggled between the storefronts lining an unassuming strip mall, Fuel is a sophisticated hangout with relaxed rustic elements, portrait-adorned walls, wooden tables, swanky brown chairs, and light bulbs strung together overhead. The staff maintains a tempting selection of delectable signature coffee beverages like the Gran Tourismo and Super Veloce, refreshing smoothies, avocado toasts, and mouthwatering sandwiches.
Cafe Intermezzo
Embodying the essence of a 300-year-old European coffeehouse, venturing through the front door of Cafe Intermezzo transports visitors to a time of elegance and ease. It’s a vacation, a holiday, an ‘intermezzo’, or ‘intermission’ between the busy acts of your life. Rendezvous with a friend, hold a meeting, or simply ponder the moment, the day, or the lifetime in solitude. Each is, and all are, sufficient reasons for being here. On another visit, you might enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a late-night appetizer with a glass of wine or a cocktail. The Beverage Book offers hundreds of choices. “TourGuides” take you through descriptions of nearly sixty pastries.
Lavena Cafe
Whether you’d like to sink into an armchair and appreciate the company of loved ones over a steamy cup of joe, savor the best artisan toast in town, or peacefully study amidst the familiar comforts of a reliable neighborhood gathering place, whatever the case may be, Lavena Cafe has got you covered.
Pop’s Coffee Co.
This recent addition to the ever-budding index of Roswell coffee shops has a spacious, modern environment with plenty of seating arrangements, vintage motorcycles, the chance to peruse through gear and home-brewing equipment, live music performances, well-manicured nooks, and accommodations for remote work.
The Creek Cafe + Gelato
The Creek procures a tranquil, cozy, judgement-free zone for you to enjoy your favorite delicacies in comfort. From homemade and imported desserts, gelato, curated beers and wines to a full espresso bar to regional charcuterie boards, the friendly folks behind the counter here have on hand everything necessary to satisfy your sweet tooth as well as help you forget your daily stresses if for just a moment, as you indulge in peace.
Cafe Bora
Cafe Bora has stores scattered throughout the globe (Korea, USA, Canada, Thailand, China) and specializes in one-of-a-kind desserts, milk teas, and lattes. Considering they share the cute purple flower-dappled space with Bang Bang Katsu House – which serves Japanese-inspired, daily hand-cut katsu with fresh panko breadcrumbs – you may want to consider bringing an appetite!
