Octane Coffee Bar & Lounge
Recently named one of Bon Appetit Magazine’s top ten boutique coffee shops in the country, this popular West Midtown indie coffeehouse and lounge is a hot work/play spot for Georgia Tech students and intown hipsters alike. The coffee is strong and rich, and regulars swear by the three-country house blend, made with beans from Sumatra, Kenya, and Ethiopia. In addition to serving up great coffee and some of the city’s best grilled cheese (a CRAVE staff favorite!), Octane also hosts live music, art openings, DJs and more.
