"What a cute cafe! This is a great study spot! There’s tons of seating, and if the weather is warmer, there are some cute outdoor options as well. It’s in an old house and the vibes are very fun. I liked how many different seating nooks there were. It was also a nice touch that the baristas bring you your drinks so you don’t have to wait around until they’re ready. My cortado was very nice! They had a blend instead of a single origin espresso, which isn’t my absolute favorite, but I enjoyed everything else about it and it was a great experience. The sparkling water coming alongside the cortado was a very nice touch! Prices were definitely reasonable and I’d happily try more options on the menu in the future. It was also nice because there was a little parking lot (at least on one side of the building) so I didn’t have to find street parking. I’d definitely recommend this spot and I expect to be back!"

"I went to Gilly Brew Bar looking for a nice coffee shop where I could get some work done, but I discovered an incredible coffee shop with baristas dedicated to making incredible coffee and other drinks. I’ve been to many coffee shops in Atlanta but Gilly Brew Bar just took the top spot in the ranking. I ordered my usual two drinks, a cortado and an iced matcha latte. I love a cortado and always get one when a coffee shop offers it. The barista said she would bring it out to me, so I sat at one of the many tables on the first floor of the shop next to an outlet for working. The barista then brought out something I was not expecting—a wooden plate for two drinks, containing a cortado on one side and an equally sized glass of sparkling water on the other side. The cortado was delicious—very rich, thick, and somewhat acidic. But taking a sip of the sparkling water right after was a revelation—the minerality and carbonation of the water was the perfect palate cleanser, and allowed me to take another sip of the cortado as if tasting it again for the first time. I was so blown away by the combination I actually looked it up lol—apparently it’s seen in some countries in Europe and parts of Italy, along with “high end” coffee shops in North America. Well, I guess I just found my first “high end” coffee shop in Atlanta! And by the way, the matcha latte was fantastic as well, with a dark green color and a strong matcha flavor. I will absolutely be back, and I very strongly recommend Gilly Brew Bar for their incredible drinks and also as a great place to get work done."

"Beautiful Coffee Shop inside the “mayors house.” Been twice, never ceases to amaze me the quality of the coffee, pastries, atmosphere, and service. Make sure yall try their Ethiopian blend with peach notes and their new Colombian blend with strawberry notes!"

"A wonderful little café with a very cozy vintage atmosphere. Unusual old windows and a stylish steel interior create a unique charm. It’s a perfect spot for morning coffee — calm, warm, and very pleasant to be in. Be sure to try the ginger and honey latte; it’s especially good here."

"Just wow. Stumbled on this historic gem while waiting to check into our Airbnb and what an experience!! Janette the barista was the 💣. diggity!! She went over the history of the building which demanded thoughtful reflections. The art gallery was 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 And Never ever would I have thought ginger and honey could possibly pair with coffee but it was amaaaaazing!!!! We will be visiting each day of our stay!"
