Atlanta Coffee Shops

BRASH Coffee has three locations around the city that serves sustainable, single-source coffee from farmers and artisanal producers around the world. Brash has coffee shops in Peachtree Road in Midtown, inside the revamped Atlanta History Center in Buckhead, and the Westside Provisions District. The coffee roasters source beans as fairly and ethically as possible, working directly with coffee farmers in El Salvador and other small producers around the world, and use a Modbar under-the-counter espresso system which allows brewing according to the room’s humidity and temperature, producing a superb cup of coffee.
