Atlanta is home to numerous coffee shops that operate out of converted shipping containers (on both the Westside and in Midtown) or are housed within museums, making it essential that we can find quality spots offering single origin beans at friendly and cozy locations. Atlanta provides no shortage of such offerings – you won’t go thirsty in Atlanta.

At Lee+White in West End lies this queer and women-owned shop which acts as both an espresso bar and community meeting spot. Additionally, its owners provide an exceptional collection of merchandise showcasing their business’s values.

Coffee served here is Fair Trade Certified, meaning it was produced following guidelines set by the Fair Trade Federation to support sustainable and thriving communities and protect the environment. This blend of Latin American coffees was shade-grown to bolster its trees’ ability to resist pests and weather events while supporting an eco-friendly ecosystem.

This Smithsonian Bird Friendly blend was roasted in Americus, Georgia – a rural Southwest Georgia town home to Koinonia Farm, Habitat for Humanity, Cafe Campesino and many other community-focused organizations that strive for social change through food justice initiatives and efforts like Birds Georgia program. All of its beans come from small organic farms in Americus as part of this blend’s supply.

This fair-trade blend offers full-bodied flavorful coffee, featuring sweet fruity aromas and flavors of banana and chocolate. The medium acidity highlights the beans while its subtle sweetness adds an additional element to this enjoyable cup of brew.
