Cara DeMoreDecember 6, 2014Went here for studying around finals. Awesome environment, haven't experienced the poor service people talk about AT ALL. Ordered the maccha latte and the spiced white chocolate--both were excellent
Jennifer HarrellAugust 21, 2013Best coffee house in town. Lived in ATL for years and this place beats every coffee house there!The hubby lived in Italy and says best espresso this side of the Atlantic.
Everything is great. All quality from the beverages to the baked goods.
Tom JMarch 27, 2012Imbibe Magazine recognized Volta Coffee, Tea & Chocolate for being one of the Best Places to Get Caffeinated in the South in their March/April 2011 Southern Issue
The Songea Peaberry Espresso from Mbeya, Southern Tanzania has a wonderfully unexpected and rounded flavor
Elizabeth WangNovember 12, 2015Bright atmosphere, great music, perfect place for unwinding or studying
Soren BrockdorfOctober 8, 2019If you dont rate this coffee shop at least a 9 you have no idea what good coffee is. This place is known across the US as great coffee--although the staff is not the greatest normally.- Julianne RaymondSeptember 12, 2014Had to use a bathroom and felt guilty using theirs without buying anything. Bought an iced coffee and it was delicious!!
- Jay R. Audette, Jr.May 21, 2019The spiced white hot chocolate is decadent and the quiche is simply ambrosia.
Victor ManuelJune 27, 2014Barista ignored me when I first came in & asked for bottled water. Sorry I don't drink coffee at 4pm.
- Margarett GJanuary 5, 2013Get the hot chocolate with a double shot of espresso. Perfection in a cup.
dawn schulzSeptember 8, 2016These people never learn. We stopped going here because of the attitude. They forget your order, no apologies, nothing. Good lattes, bad vibes!! 🤔
Food & WineApril 21, 2011The espresso uses Intelligentsia's Black Cat beans; the Japanese matcha tea is mixed with a bamboo whisk.
- The Iced Coffee is crack...Mouth watering, slow cold brewed crack.
I don't drink coffee, but incredible various hot chocolates, teas, and desserts.

Greg J BarberAugust 10, 2013Pass on the iced latte. They don't even pull shots, they just use iced coffee... Not a real latte...
Wm ClarkOctober 19, 2016Great coffee and chocolate. The owner is very interested in his customers. Great service too.
Gail Ward-ParkerSeptember 4, 2016My husband has the espresso and loved it. Customer service was good- Best coffee shop in Florida, on par with any SF or NYC shop.
