It’s got gelato, wine, pastries, and a laid-back vibe that makes productivity feel almost indulgent.

Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee is known for its high-quality coffee and fair trade practices. While there are several locations, we recommend the one by the Fox Theatre. This is the perfect spot to have a coffee date, get some work done, or just sit outside and people-watch. They have all kinds of mouth-watering pastries and quick bites, the atmosphere is spacious, and there is plenty of seating. Some locations are closed on weekends, but it is still a great spot to sit and work.
15. Momo Cafe
95 8th St. NW Suite 100 Atlanta, GA 30309
Momo Cafe is a favorite of ours for many reasons. Aside from your typical espressos and mochas, they also have more exotic flavors like black sesame, matcha, and hoji cha. The attention to detail they put into their pastries is unreal, and every item is as delicious as it is gorgeous. It’s a smaller spot, but still a good place to stretch out and study with a tasty treat.
16. PERC Coffee

This is the cutest little study spot to work the day away at! We love the East Lake location for their ample seating. The space is open, full of sunlight, and has flexible seating for working with a group or solo. There are plenty of outlets, great wifi, and outdoor seating is available. Besides a regular cup of joe, they offer lots of unique coffee flavors if you have a sweet tooth! This is a fantastic place to get some work done and enjoy some superb coffee and treats.

18. St. Germain Bakery
Multiple Locations
This is another spot with a few locations around town, but we typically lean towards the location at the Bellyard Hotel in West Midtown. They have comfy seats and so many incredible pastry and coffee options. And if you want a change of scenery from your change of scenery, it’s always nice to head upstairs and sit in the hotel lobby for a bit.

Among Summit’s Atlanta locations, Emory Village stands out for its walkability, collegiate charm, and dedicated workspace feel.
20. Sweet Hut Bakery
Multiple Locations
You surely have to credit Sweet Hut Bakery with being one of the first businesses that made Asian desserts and confectionaries more mainstream in Atlanta. They offer a cool mix of coffees and bubble teas and savory and sweet confections with influences from all over Asia and Europe. We can recommend their Midtown location from first-hand experience as a great study spot–it’s quite popular amongst Georgia Tech students–but we’d imagine their other outposts on Buford Highway and Duluth would be comfortable as well.
21. Urban Grind

This homey, shabby chic coffee shop is filled with antiques and is so comfortable to relax in. The Black-owned coffee shop is serving up decadent frappes if you like some sugar with your coffee (or coffee with your sugar!)
