Coffee in ATL {Octane Coffee}


One item on my ATL Summer Bucket List was to visit Octane Coffee, a well-known and quaint coffee shop with several locations in Atlanta. Check! I met up with my friend Averil yesterday for coffee and catch up at the Westside Octane location. This is their original location, and the decorations reflect the spirit of the Westside/Georgia Tech neighborhood.

Although they currently have construction going on, I could still see why people love this place so much. It's a great atmosphere with a variety of workspaces. Averil suggested I order Octane's Iced Soy Mocha drink, and I did. We both ordered this and agreed that it tastes like a fudge popsicle, yum!



Oh, and did I mention they have food? Real food. Such a plus for a coffee shop where you're bound to spend hours working away.



I love that they are eco-friendly, offering coffee in mugs instead of paper/plastic products.

Are you a loyal Starbucks/Dunkin' Donuts drinker or do you visit local coffee shops sometimes?

  1. Hello from Spain: I am addicted to Starbucks coffee but in my city there are no cafes that brand. I also love Dunkin 'Donuts'. Nice place to stay with a friend. Keep in touch

  5. Oooooh I wanna go! I love that first pic of your friend! And I've never been a big lover of Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts, I really only buy coffee from Saxby's which is on campus in our library. I think this quaint coffee shop would be an instant fave for me as well :)

  6. So I'm obsessed with Octane! I definitely suggest you go to the Sunday Brunch! Each sunday they have a new cook and a new brunch menu and it's amazing! They also do these fun beer tastings on tuesdays! Literally the most fun ever. I am so glad you went here! They are awesome!
