Located about three miles east of downtown, Edgewood is bordered by Kirkwood to the east, Reynoldstown to the west, Candler Park to the north, and East Atlanta to the south. The community was developed around the turn of the 20th century as a response to economic boom, population growth, and a dramatic increase in the number of people working in the city. Located outside of the congestion downtown, Edgewood was geared towards blue collar workers that developed the land and built their craftsman-style homes there. Today, the neighborhood is marked by a booming commercial area, charming streets lined with modest homes diverse in character, and an admirably eco-concious creative community invested in coming together to make Edgewood one of Atlanta’s finest places to establish roots.
This neighborhood favorite is part wine shop, pantry, deli, bakery and rotisserie.
One of the three locations that make up the Atlanta chain serving up locally-roasted Arabica coffees, this stop along the tour captures Edgewood’s neighborhood charm in a manner free of gratuitous fuss and frill. Free wi-fi and a spacious interior, with plenty of cozy seating, make it a great place to settle in with your laptop. Coffee quality and barista know-how is a step up from your national chain, and they offer some great bites (both sweet and savory) to accompany your brew. While the parking lot is generously sized, commuter beware...it can be packed during weekday morning commutes.
