Opo Coffee
314 E Howard Ave, Decatur, GA
Crema's Take
“Opo Coffee roasts and serves exceptional espresso-focused drinks in a plant-filled Decatur space that somehow balances the energy of a popular neighborhood gathering spot with genuine room to spread out and work. Beyond the reliably excellent cortados and pour overs, they're serious about coffee education, offering SCA-certified training programs that have helped customers earn their specialty coffee diplomas. The baristas here genuinely seem to care—they move with impressive efficiency even during the inevitable long lines, and they've clearly built real community with regulars who keep coming back.”

Very cool cafe with an urban vibe. The wall plants make the space feel welcoming. Lots of room to spread out and chat with friends or do some work on the laptop. The staff are friendly and helpful. I got to speak with the owner and he showed me their training lab, which is super cool and unique for a local coffee roaster! Worth a visit if you’re in the area!
Very cool Coffee roasters and a great coffee cafe to hang out in. I love thee. This place is very popular they're actually wasn't a place for me to sit down on my first visit. They offer barista classes and coffee making classes from amateur to pro-level. Coffee was great I had a flat white!
BEST TRAINING EVER!!! Opo uses SCA certified trainers and provides a hands on, high quality training experience. They helped me complete my Roastery Diploma and Cafe Diploma with the Specialty Coffee Association. 10/10 would highly recommend! Follow me, Benjamin Tompkins, on instagram @coffeebeanben
Very tasty cortado and a super short wait time, despite there being a consistently long line to order! The baristas were friendly and didn’t make me feel rushed. I loved the decor and the overall vibe. It was absolutely packed on a Saturday at 10:30 and honestly didn’t start to slow down a little bit until 12, but even then, it was still quite full inside. Seating was varied but a bit challenging to find — thankfully a spot opened up as I finished ordering. The noise level was pretty loud inside with everyone talking but there were also many people studying, and I was still able to focus with headphones on. I saw people with kids, people chatting over coffee, and people reading or working on laptops. I’m looking forward to another visit! Side note: as long as you don’t mind walking a few minutes, there is plenty of free 2 hour street parking!
There are a handful of coffee spots in Decatur, but Opo is by far my favorite. The staff there is so friendly and knowledgeable, and the coffee can’t be beat! I usually get either a vanilla cortado or their ube London fog (!!!), both of which are stellar. Their Second Breakfast blend is one of my favorite roasts to brew at home as well. Parking can be a bit tricky depending on the day, but there are usually spots on the side of the road a little ways down. The cafe itself is bright and cozy with plenty of seating inside, plus a spacious patio to boot! Lovely team of folks and delicious coffee in a beautiful space— what could be better?!
