Summit Coffee

This North Decatur Road address is no stranger to early risers since it was previously host to breakfast spots like Rise and Dine and the short-lived Baker Dude. Now it houses Summit Coffee, a North Carolina-based coffee chain. Since college students inhale coffee like oxygen, this spot is a welcome addition to the former coffee shop-less strip next to Emory University. The walls are splashed with calming forest green paint and every brown leather booth and marble-topped table is occupied by twenty-somethings typing furiously on laptops. Most suck down espressos with headphones on, oblivious to the generic indie pop coming from the speakers. Come here for decent coffee, tasty blueberry muffins, and the peace and quiet that you can’t find while trying to work at home.
