Beautiful Atmosphere, Mixed Impressions We stopped here while passing through and ordered an affogato, a latte, and bagels. The fact that they offered salmon bagels was a nice surprise — much better than the standard cream cheese option you typically find at coffee shops. As for the coffee, it was brewed well, but the beans themselves lacked flavor. The taste was flat and unremarkable, possibly due to stale grind or poor roasting. Service also felt a bit cold — not rude, just not particularly warm or welcoming. The interior and atmosphere, however, are a solid 10/10. Beautifully designed, very cozy, and inviting. Overall, a visually impressive café with room for improvement in coffee quality and service warmth.

I absolutely love The Black Coffee Company! The beverages are not only tasty but also affordable. As an Atlanta native, I appreciate the creative touch of their Atlanta-artist themed drinks.

Mercedes is the best at making drinks. I always have a smile on my face when I leave. They also have the best teas and are positive people.

Black Coffee at Morehouse College (next to the Bookstore) is the perfect stop and start to my day as I walk from the train station to campus. The young, fabulous team always greets you with a smile, even early in the morning. Their customer service is top-notch, and the vibe is full of positive energy. Paying homage to how the menu features clever, creative names representing Black artists, so thoughtful and inspiring. Great selection of teas, coffees, and grab-n-go items. My preference is the craft-made sorrel lemonade, refreshing every time. Great price point for both the students and employees across the AUC. Hoping to see a Vegan bakery/breakfast item added to their menu soon. Fantastic customer service.

In town for the night and the next morning we googled “coffee shop near me” and we ended up here. I loved EVERY SINGLE thing about Black Coffee from the moment we walked in. The decor, the vibe, the smiling faces the diversity it was all amazing we didn’t plan on staying to drink our coffee but we couldn’t just leave. The coffees, smoothies and cake were something we talked about well after we left to get back on the road. I hate tomorrow morning I’ll have to wake up and settle for coffee at home

The lightskinned Keisha is my favorite drink probably anywhere. This place is so great. The coffee is excellent and they always write a positive affirmation on your cup. I go out of my way to get coffee here, it's worth it.

This is the best coffee shop ever. This one employee Caiden makes amazing coffee. Also, they have great red velvet muffins. This establishment is exquisite. Definitely better than Starbucks.

If you're searching for a coffee experience that combines exceptional quality with outstanding service, look no further than The Black Coffee Co. This black-owned gem stands out not just for its remarkable products but also for its commitment to customer satisfaction. They have been a great addition to Morehouse College! I look forward to them adding more hot breakfast sandwiches *wink wink*
