Crema's Take

This spacious Decatur gem has become a genuine community gathering spot, with a thoughtful aesthetic featuring live plants and multiple cozy tiers that make it feel more like a destination than a quick caffeine run. Their real calling card is the monthly creative specialty drinks with holiday-themed names—a rotating menu that keeps regulars coming back to discover what the talented baristas have dreamed up next. It's the kind of place where you can settle in with a laptop for hours, enjoy warm service from genuinely kind staff, and pair your drink with a fresh pastry (just aim for earlier in the day when they're at their peak).

The pastries are sometimes stale after 3, but please check out their speciality drinks! Every month they come up with some creative names for drinks that matches the next holiday! The staff is so nice and friendly!

they also gave my bagel chips expired 5 days ago. I asked for a apple cinnamon muffin and got a blue berry one. Waste of money. Didn't even know it was blueberry till I got to school. I won't be coming back for muffins. Update: went today to get a frozen latte. They have now officially made it nasty. All I could taste is water? And coffee flakes

Situated in the perfect corner of it all, it is clear to see that Oakview has brought the community together. This enormous coffee shop sits multiple tiers above a simple walk-in/walk-out café, for this venue had a line of community members out the door from the moment I walked in. Inside, there were parents doing homework at the tables with their kids, people catching up over books, and a few others working on their laptops. Not to mention, Harmony Park and the Oakhurst Farmer’s Market (on Saturdays) are across the street as well. The food came out quickly after I ordered, and the employees were so kind and coordinated in their efforts. The Almond Croissant had a lovely amount of marzipan inside with great textural contrasts among the rich pastry, almond topping, and marzipan filling. Overall, I love this place. What’s not to like, knowing you’ll get objectively good food paired with such a beautiful experience? This comforting locale truly is a brightest star near the heart of Atlanta.

Oakwood Coffee is a quiet, clean, and beautifully aesthetic spot, full of charm, added beauty of live plants makes it feel welcoming and cozy before you even decide what you want. The sweet baristas greet you with a smile and keep things moving with fast, friendly service. Serving coffee on this corner since 1997, they clearly know what they’re doing — and it shows. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The full menu offers excellent coffee, tea, breakfast and lunch sandwiches, plus beer and wine. Open early, it’s perfect for a morning pick-me-up or a relaxed afternoon. Working remotely, all set here. Clean bathroom. 🚽 😁 Take whole beans to go as well from their selection of bagged coffee. You’ll find bar seating, comfy couches, chairs, two-top tables, and even outdoor seating. Ask for a stay mug, adding to the homey feel. ☕️ Check the photos for menu inspiration and don’t miss this neighborhood gem! 💎

When I walked in, I immediately noticed the space was larger than I expected, with plenty of tables scattered around and several people working on their laptops. I joined the fast-moving line and took a few minutes to check out the menu and the pastries on display. I decided on a mocha and a cranberry scone. I was immediately handed my scone but waited a few minutes for the Mocha to be prepared. The mocha gave me a nice little caffeine boost, though I wouldn’t have minded some more chocolate. Overall, it’s a really cool spot — I’ll definitely be back. Plus, they also sell whole beans, which is a nice bonus.
