Savannah's oldest coffee shop, with rotating local art, cozy chairs, and tables out on the square. The setting is half the draw, though the latte holds up its end. Architectural Digest once called it the most beautiful coffee shop in Georgia. Settle in with a book and an afternoon to spare.
Bright and unfussy, pouring PERC, a coffee roasted right here in Savannah. The menu is clean and focused, which makes this the place for a well-made black coffee without a parade of syrups. Pop in when you want a straightforward, properly made cup and no extra ceremony.
A long-running local roaster with a comfortable, lived-in cafe attached. The beans are roasted in house, and regulars come back for the honey cinnamon latte and the lavender oat milk drinks. Equally good as a morning ritual or as an excuse to try one of the signature specialty drinks you won't find elsewhere.
Part coffee shop, part cantina, tucked into a converted house with an easygoing, eclectic feel. You can get espresso drinks and tacos under the same roof, which is a rare and welcome combination. Skip the indoor tables if you can and claim a seat in the courtyard, easily the best spot in the place.
A modern specialty cafe with polished interiors and cathedral views out the window. The drinks get creative, including an espresso tonic with basil-mint syrup that's worth ordering for the novelty alone. Come when you want to try something a little different in a setting that gives you plenty to look at.
