When you think of cities with cute and Instagram-worthy cafes, Paris, London, and New York City might come to mind, but I believe Atlanta should also be added to the list! Atlanta offers an impressive selection of locally owned cafes and coffee shops – and an added bonus is that some of these cafes make great spots for Instagram photos! As a Georgia-based influencer, I’ve curated a list of the cutest cafes, coffee shops, and bistros in Atlanta! Be sure to stop by for delicious drinks, mouthwatering pastries, and savory bites.

My favorites are their white hot chocolate and their classic cheesecake. Do note that this cafe is pricier than others on this list.

25. Chattahoochee Coffee Company
2281 Akers Mill Rd, Atlanta, GA 30339
Chattahoochee Coffee Company is one of my favorite places in Atlanta! This coffee shop has the best view in Atlanta – you’re right on the Chattahoochee River! There’s plenty of green space for you to relax on the grass, walk along the river, or even go on a hike.
The only downside is that it is actually located within an apartment complex (Walton on Chattahoochee) and non-residents can only visit on weekdays. It is a gated community so when you get to the gate, you have to ring the bell for Chattahoochee Coffee Company to get in.
