Iconic Andersonville cafe and travel shop! They have an excellent selection lunch options, caffeinated and non-caffeinated beverages, and rotating pastries/baked goods. Lots of comfortable seating options indoors and outside in the back for catching up with a friend, writing, or reading.

Highly recommend the golden milk as a tasty & unique decaffeinated option. The gift shop was a nice surprise with super funky jewelry and trinkets. Will definitely be back!

Really cozy cafe with lots of decorative items, including a small area to browse and shop! I got the Salmon Davis sandwich and it was really good. Just a bit pricey overall I think but they have lots of vegan and vegetarian options, and they’re breakfast options are cheaper than their lunch options

Kopi Cafe looked so promising. From the outside, it felt warm and inviting with a charming atmosphere, a welcoming staff, and a menu that seemed full of great options. We got seated fairly quickly, only about a 15-minute wait, which was impressive for how busy it was. The drink list alone was enough to grab our attention with a full page of creative options. I ordered the Green and Bleu Salad and a Matcha Freeze. The matcha was easily one of the best I’ve ever had. If you even slightly like matcha, get the freeze. It was incredible. Unfortunately, that was the high point. The salad was fine but underwhelming, with way too much arugula and barely any bleu cheese or pears. My friends’ meals didn’t fare much better. One ordered an espresso that came out burnt, which was surprising given how seasoned their barista seemed. She also got the tofu scramble, but it was more of a stir fry, just cubes of tofu with some veggies mixed in. My other friend ordered the Egg Hugo and was disappointed in how small the portion was. That brings me to the price. Each of us paid over $30 for one entrée and a drink, and none of us left feeling satisfied with the quality. Service wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great either. I get that it was a busy day, but we sat for nearly 30 minutes without being checked on and eventually had to wave down our server just to pay. All in all, Kopi Cafe fell short of expectations. The vibe and drinks were great, but the food and service didn’t live up to the hype or the price tag. I’d mention it to tourists, but not without a fair warning.
