From Chef/Owner Hudson Rouse, Babygirl (.atl) opened this past weekend with a brunch menu and an espresso program. The cafe opens just as Rising Son in Avondale Estates—another venture from Chef Hudson Rouse—closes after ten years in that neighborhood.

On the weekend brunch menu (featured here) you’ll find biscuit sandwiches, Belgian waffles (add the fried chicken + braised greens), salads, and more. The coffee program here is with a small roaster from Roswell, Natural Born Koffee (); the café will alternate what’s on drip/espresso, with single origin offerings leaning toward medium to medium-dark roasts.

Babygirl is meant to be a calming neighborhood cafe, not designed to be a coffee shop where you can bring a laptop to hang out for hours (though the bar area & the spacious outdoor patio can fill this void to an extent).

The beautiful interior design is by Atlanta-based , and visitors will immediately gravitate to the ample natural light coming through those multi-colored windows. Writing about this collaboration with .atl, Claudia of Claudhaus shares with ACS: “[T]he multi-colored windows could draw attention to our ever-changing perspectives of the outside world. A literal new perspective that really pleasantly surprises with the change of sunlight during the day.  It could be a reminder of the ebbs and flows of life, to not get too comfortable with the beauty of one thing and close yourself off to the beauty of another. Rain or sun, the light shining through looks amazing. Even more reason to make the colorful windows the focal point of the design and have the other features complement or be unchanged, grounding variables.”

Babygirl is now open daily for breakfast/lunch, and brunch on weekends. FREE parking in their dedicated lot.

🎉Now open in West Midtown: The Grove 🎉

The latest expansion from Monday Night Brewing (steps away from its original brewery location in West Midtown) is The Grove, featuring a brewery, hand-crafted pizza, a curated cocktail menu, and yes, a coffee bar— all under one roof.

The Grove () features 30 draft beers on tap available year-round, a 17,000+ square foot of amphitheater-style outdoor space with fire pits, communal tables, and covered seating, and two Italian-built pizza ovens. The coffee bar features a La Marzocco espresso machine and a coffee program in partnership with Atlanta’s Dancing Goats / Kaldi’s Coffee ( / ). In addition to espresso classics, The Grove is unveiling three specialty drinks to begin operations: a strawberry shortcake latte, iced matcha with strawberry cold foam (swipe for a photo), and a lavender latte.

As the expansion of solidifies for the NW trail, The Grove is bound to become Atlanta’s destination for drinks, great food, coffee, and even a WFH spot.

Fifteen coffee-loving explorers joined this exclusive tasting event in which we got to try the newly released Ombligon Advanced
Fermentation coffee roasted by Flow Coffee Roasters (sourced from Oporopa, Huila, Colombia) four different ways: pour-over, espresso, cappuccino, and iced coffee (with the choice of black sesame or rose 🌹 cardamom cold foam). As Daniel explained, Ombligon is a relatively rare arabica coffee variety from Colombia 🇨🇴 which was unique to acquire from Producer Edinson Argote ().

Swipe to see the drinks being prepared in progress and a couple of photos from Insta stories shared by attendees. In between the espresso courses and the final iced coffee drinks, guests also tasted some delectable matcha cookies from , whose baked goods are found inside The Postcard most days.

During the coffee tasting evening, each attendee also received a postcard about this event, some ACS stickers, and a centrifuge (see last slide) filled with these Ombligon Advanced Fermentation coffee beans as a parting gift. We also held a raffle where three participants won The Postcard tote bags (hot off the presses!) filled with their choice of a coffee bag (this Ombligon that we tasted and another Geisha were some of the prizes).

💥From Queens, NY to Atlanta, GA —> there’s a new coffee shop now open in Midtown Atlanta! 💥

Opened last week at a prime location of West Peachtree St. and 12th Streets (inside the building) is For Five Coffee Roasters (), a Queens, NYC-based roaster + coffee shop. The Atlanta location has been a long time coming, and ACS was aware of its pending opening going back to May 2021. The pandemic plans fell through, but the company pushed on and opened its doors in the ATL in late February 2025. The Atlanta location was worth waiting for — it is For Five’s biggest café by square footage (3,700 s.f.) across 30+ stores and represents a new flagship in Atlanta and the Southeast.

The interior features a modern aesthetic and a hotel-like lobby/interior. There is plenty of seating across the bar area, individual, and communal tables. Free Wi-Fi is available, and the coffee shop is open 7AM to 7PM daily. With this new ATL location, For Five is elevating every detail in a café experience.

As for coffee: the espresso here is Roc Center Espresso blend from (a blend of Brazilian, Colombian, and Indonesian coffee beans; tasting notes of lemon zest and cocoa).

A must-order on the coffee menu is the Freddo Cappuccino—get it iced—as that is a rare item to see on a coffee menu in Atlanta.

The coffee shop also features a full assortment of pastries and a lunch menu—these would be worth exploring over multiple days in Midtown—as well as a popular stuffed cookie 🍪 menu (IYKYK).
