Since when did fun neighborhood joints get judgy? Apparently since wannabe Hipsters and faux edgy folk started over running the pinnacle of "too cool for you" coffee houses. My sis and I dodged in for a beer today and were smugly acknowledged by a skinny girl with overworked shaggy blonde hair and enough attitude to clear a room. My sister asked for a corsendonk, a beer they served and one time. The girl responded as if my sister had asked for brain shaped jello. Apparently they no longer served the beer and the awkward pause evolved into what surely could have become an all encompassing black hole. I interjected to ask if we could order off the current beer menu and the jettisoning atmosphere was rebalanced for a moment. Unfortunately when I asked her what the juju Ginger beer was, she replied "it's beer brewed in Ginger". Thanks captain obvious, what a glowing recommendation. I simply had to ingest it based on this ever so enticing description. Her nagging attention to what must have been regulars made it clear that my sister and I clearly did not belong in this place. A fancy notion indeed considering we had been here many times before she ever worked there, back in the days of Corsendonk dammit! While we drank our beers two more regulars came in and remarked to the oh so edgy barista that it smelled funny. She remarked that is was probably my sister and I in a less than hushed tone. I suspect it may have been her attitude musking as a defensive mechanism to the intruders (us). Apparently the insecure posers that parade as youth lost in their prime these days must be constantly reassured of their cut and pasted self identities by surrounding themselves with people trying to wear the same image. My sister and I really messed with the mirror these people rely on to properly see themselves. My advice, if you're uninterested in people trying way too hard to not give a shit, or just feel that welcome vibes and good customer service are must haves, then don't hit up this place. Try the porter down the street instead. They don't seem to discriminate based on tattoo count or glasses frame styles there.

one barista bitchin' on the phone about her money and the other.....well, just a bitchy barista. nothing new here. java lords is a typical coffee shop, only in little 5 (so it is dirtier than most). the owner clearly spared every expense in opening this place. the furniture looks like they bought it from an old elementary school that closed in the 80s. but then again it is little 5, expectations are low. in addition to coffee, they sell a nice selection of loose leaf teas and beer. not much else to say................

Java Lords is great for several reasons... First of all they have a great location right next to the Variety Playhouse in L5P. Another is the music and environment. A very underground feel swallows this place right up and you along with it. What a great vibe. The coffee is pretty good and the baristi there know how too pull a really got shot. The beans are Intelligencia and I am usually not a fan. But these guys know how to brew it right. Also check out their loose leaf teas. Another great taste. Don't miss out on these guys. If you are a sucker for city life, this coffee shop equals WIN. They don't receive five stars simply for the beans used. But the coffee, once extracted, is great.

i've frequented this place a number of times over the years and have always enjoyed their coffees as well as the option of having it on ice and/or enjoying a dose of my favourite liquor according to my mood. unfortunately, Rob, the manager (?), has ruined my last couple of visits by exhibiting his total lack of respect for the consistently awesome employees and regular customers by being a total asshole to the former in view of all the latter concerned. what a dick. he should totally be fired so that we can all enjoy this fine establishment without having to deal with his violent mysogynist bullshit. sorry rob, but you are a jerk. please go away.

This is a great little place that you can easily miss if driving or walking too fast down Euclid. I came here for Yelp office hours having no idea what or where it was. I do not drink coffee so I was planning just to get a hot chocolate or something. I had no idea they had alcohol! The beer specials here are amazing. $1 for some drinks, even good beers for $3. They have free WiFi and there were a couple people just hanging out on computers. I will definitely return to hang out here again!
(3)Hannah J.
Seriously fun, quirky coffee shop that also hooks you up with alcohol when you are feeling extra needy (and it's CHEAP too!). java lords is often over-looked in the area, and I don't know why. The coffee and drinks are tasty, the bar is cheap, and there is free wifi and ample electricity for all. Another serious plus is the outdoor seating area - with outdoor plugs! you can sit outside with your computer and work away without running out of power. It's great.

Located next to 7 Stages in L5P, Java Lords is a great place to get a quick bevvie before any show. They have the standard joe, but beer and wine, also. The space is definitely alternative, it's open to the 7 Stages lobby and their smaller blackbox space. The bathrooms don't have doors. They have a teeny tiny area for maybe one person with a guitar, and a screen for showing art-house movies. Last time I was in there, they were blasting some documentary about heavy metal. Kinda made conversation impossible, but there were some hard core fans there. The coffee is decent. It's a great option when I'm working backstage at 7 Stages and don't have time to run over to Aurora. I think it's a little pricey for what I get, usually a Soy au Lait, but still cheaper than the chain joints. It's good on the go, but I wouldn't really go there to hang out, even though they have free Wi-Fi.

What are we talking about here?!?! Yes that's right $1 PBR's on monday's and the kids that come with 'em. All organic, fair trade, house roasted delicious java, folks. All kinds of specials for every night of the week. The yuppie douche bag vibe isn't here either... ahhhh!!
(5)Kelly G.
Every time I go to Java Lords I have a good time. The bartender/baristas are extremely friendly. Anytime my boyfriend and I are looking to go get a drink, we always end up at Java Lords. Thanks guys!
(5)Matt T.
Im not really sure how to feel about this place. The coffee was awesome. Like really awesome. But the seemingly lack of power outlets that I could find, coupled with the openess to the place next door confused me. Maybe Im not smart to find it all out just yet. But again the coffee was super good, and if Im in L5P again and needed coffee I would make the walk down here and give it another try.
(3)Amy D.
While strolling through the Five Points area we stopped in to Java Lords and it was completely empty and pretty dark. I guess i was expecting it to be more like Octane, so i wasn't sure if I should shell out the money for a latte so i went for just a coffee. While drinking the coffee outside we noticed all the patrons coming for takeout, no one was enjoying their coffee in house. Iced coffee seemed to be the drink of choice. Next time i am in the order i am gna try their iced coffee. Overall Java lords is a place that i would come for a coffee but i am not sure if they do latte art here.

I went around 10pm on a weekday because I was looking for a late night coffee shop where I could get some work done outside of my home office. It was good but not quite what I was expecting, which was more of a contemporary coffee shop with a cool crowd, mellow tunes in the background, and good coffee. This place is a hybrid of bar and coffee shop. It is non-committal in either direction. It appears to specialize more on the bar side as they have a full bar but their pretty decent-sized list of beers and ales were in the bottle, not on tap. At the same time, if you aren't sitting at the bar they had a few booths (with outlets) like a coffee shop where someone like me could come and spread out their papers and electronics and get all plug & playalistic! I would define it as a coffee-shop with alcohol by day and a bar with coffee by night. As far the coffee, the coffee was pretty good and they even had a big list of flavor shots that could be added to your beverage for an additional cost. There were a few baked goods (pre-wrapped, possibly supplied by another local business). I had an oatmeal cookie that was okay. The noise level was medium with moderate-level conversation going on in the place. There is metal and hard rock playing in the background a little louder than "lounge" level but not so loud that you find yourself yelling and leaning in close to hear your neighbor. I came on a night where a few loud people were being a little obnoxious and apparently continuing the party from wherever it had started but the baristender (barista/bartender) did apologize after the loud crowd left. All in all, I had good coffee, found a bottled spiced amber ale that I'd try again, and got some work done, so I can't complain. I'd go back again if I needed to get away late night to get some work done in a spot that gives you the option of Cuervo or coffee.
(3)Jenn D.
I really love the space at Java Lords. It looks like a real coffeehouse should. People talking and young lovers falling in love. I didn't see a single person on a laptop and I loved it. The baristas were slighty surly, but it adds to the charm.
(4)David D.
This is a pretty mellow bar, they constantly rotate their beer, so I never know what I ordered the last time, or what I'm getting next to drink. The bartender s a cool dude that been here for ages, and he is also one of the actors for the seven stages plays next door. The crowd doesnt surprise me, its the same people you see outside of the place, walking around little five.... except they have their laptops out here and get free wifi. It is a very mellow place if the craziness from little five gets to you, but its not quite an escape from it all. the hipsters are still inside!! AAHHH!
(3)Cellina D.
This Coffee&Tee Bar makes the best Latte of Atlanta! A good place to meet very nice and open people.
(5)Shawn W.
Great people, awesome coffee, full-bar. What more do you people want? As long as you don't take my table!
(5)Hailz R.
Spent 3 years of my college life in this dive and I miss the heck outta this place! Great location and decent pricing. Yea the hipster crowd can be a bit too much every now and then, but an Irish coffee, a cheap Pabst and something sweet to munch on is enough to pacify me!
(4)Mike S.
Cool vibe and decent coffee.
(4)Nathan O.
Inconsistently odd. The lattes and coffee were delicious, served in a plain white cup. The place is tacky, hipster, and the epitome of what Little Five Points is all about. There were 4-5 hipster guys in leather jackets hanging out at the bar, with a mix of black coffee's and 16 oz PBR's. The music started out with some lovely indie jams, but as the barista changed the pace it made its way to diverse sounds from dubstep to Kermit the Frog. I couldn't keep the groove. The artwork there is eclectic, with a series of four paintings reflective of lesbian women going down on each other, a woman peeing on the street under the moon, an attacking penis,and a woman bleeding while walking. I couldn't bare to look at these, along with the yellow sign that read, "adultery". Everything was bearable beyond the artwork, and it was a great place for cheap beer, decent espresso, and some of the most unique conversations imaginable. I'll return.
(4)Kristin B.
The sweet barista made one of the best mochas I've ever had and made some pretty latte (mocha?) art in the foam before she covered it in whipped cream. Then she overcharged me by a dollar, and I didn't realize it till I had left. The delicious chocolate chip cookie did at least partially redeem Java Lords, as did the caffeine high that kept me wide awake for the rest of the morning. 3.5 stars.
(3)Katherine N.
Coffee is better and cheaper then Starbucks and you can switch to adult beverages as it is also a full bar. All of the staff is amazing and courteous and makes amazing drinks.
(5)Nancy B.
Sigh, the expresso you make is better than Octane and I'll just have to proclaim it. It's a true Italian style and it's smooth on the tongue, no bitterness. The cappuccino I had later in the day was enjoyable and along with sitting in the sun made for a lovely afternoon. They have the Hookah porch in the back, a full service bar, and cheap prices on premium beer. How can you go wrong with any of that? Tao and I sat in the front for two hours and I can say it started my outing in Little 5 perfectly. Five true perfect stars!! #Yelp365 - 62/365
(5)Thrill C.
Great place, such a nice barista as well, think her name was Naomi.
(5)Sarita A.
You glare at me when I come in the door like you're having an A-list party and I'm Tara Reid. Java Lords, why you gotta be all scary?
(2)Margaret M.
If you're.... "suckered into Pabst Blue Ribbon's mass marketing to hipsters" or, have a gaggle of keys hanging off your belt, wear girl jeans, have an american apparel hoodie, and love to hear yourself talk, come on down.... But...If you are over the age of 22, and don't enjoy the chattering, sopping roucous of translucent conversation go elsewhere... Sadly the creative and ecomomic potential for a coffeeshop that has a liquor licens has been spoiled by the kiddie effect. Coffee drinks here lack that crafted with passion essence. Not to say they are bad but... But what can you expect from a kid who is more interested in what's playing on his laptop, than "crafting" the drink you paid for????.
(2)Kelly S.
I stopped in for 3 Yuenglings during the Halloween parade on Saturday, and I was pleasantly surprised by this place for several reasons: 1) They didn't make me wait in line behind the half-caf, 2% milk, no foam, with whip, 2 pumps of sugar-free caramel sauce latte peeps in front of me, since all they had to do was pop open the beer bottles for me; 2) The employees were largely responsible for running off the crazy guy on the other side of the street telling us we were all sinners while we were trying to enjoy an innocent parade; 3) The beers were only $3 each. and 4) Anywhere that has booze AND a variety of coffee drinks (my two favorite vices) is good in my book. And I've never personally had their coffee, but my Dad loves it. So there you go. And I figure the depressive qualities of the alcohol should balance the upping effect of the coffee, so in essence, this place sells balance. Love it. Comfy atmosphere, too. :-)
(4)Franklin C.
Decent place for coffee. Their selection of syrups is pretty impressive and I had a hard time picking one for my drink. Atmosphere was a bit moody. It was dark and dim with overly loud music going. Free wifi is always a plus though. I went there to try to do some work with my friend. I probably won't go back to get work done. I might go back to try out more syrups.

Java Lords is a quaint coffee shop located on Euclid Ave in Little Five Points. It's nearby competitors include a Starbucks and Aurora Coffee on Moreland. While not as mainstream, this place has its perks that set it apart from its more frequented coffeehouses nearby. Coffee: good! Currently, I am enjoying an iced coffee. Unlike other places where they give you iced coffee in a cup and then you have to go to the side counter to add your own sugar/cream, this place asks you when you order how you would like it. They'll prepare your drink with cream and sugar and stir it for you. Nice, unless of course you have some weird sugar:cream recipe that no one else can replicate. Iced coffee cost me slightly over $2. Their hot brew is great also, which can be served in a mini french press. They have a decent list of teas which can be prepared hot or cold. There is a glass case which had some pastries/bagels, although I have never tried them. And they have beer, if that's your coffeehouse beverage of choice. Staff: very friendly and informative. Very willing to answer questions about various beverages. Ambiance: When you enter, there is an urban feel. Unfortunately, not a ton of tables/chairs. There are a total of 4 table/chair combinations, a couple of chairs at the coffee bar and a plush loveseat with 2 nearby chairs. The artwork is alternative and adds to the urban feel. The same applies to the music. A little loud, but not overbearing. There is also an outside area which has several more tables/chair under an awning. Probably great for talking; not sure about for studying. In general, there are a decent number of electrical outlets. Internet is free. There is a computer/printer which can be used but the cost-of-use is a bit exorbitant ($2.50 for 15 mins; $0.50 per page printing). You generally can find parking across the street, so this should not be a deterrence as it can be with some other places in Little 5 Points. In summation, if you are looking for a new place to try for some studying or before heading to the Varsity Playhouse for a show, this is a great option. Minimal table space, but free internet, great service and great drinks. Good for meeting up with friend to catch up or get some studying done.
(4)Cameron L.
Let's start with the coffee: tasty, organic, fair trade, a little bit pricey, but not disappointing. The daytime atmosphere is lively, with almost invariably good music. They also have decently padded chairs, which makes studying a lot easier, especially if you're a fellow member of the Bony Ass Club. The little patio out back is quieter and not accessible from the street, allowing you to enjoy a cigarette with your coffee without getting hassled by hobos. The patio also directly abuts the Ali Baba patio, which means you can spy on people smoking hookahs! Evenings here feature strong representation from the Bony Ass (and bony everything else) contingent. I've yet to get any of my friends to come with me here for a beer at night; I think we're all a little bit intimidated by the clutch of pretty little hipsters that invariably blocks the sidewalk in front of this place after dark.
(4)Shaurica C.
My friend and I came here on a Tuesday night, both of our first time. It was real chill and laid back, live music in the background, very nice vibe! The bartender, Sterling was awesome! He made us the perfect glass of "adult" chocolate milk :) 10/10 will return!

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A BARREN SIGHT when I've walked into Java Lords on Euclid. With the narrow corridor of a coffee shop stretching further back than I've ever stepped, I've never made it past a few feet inside, only going as far as the condiment station to throw in my 17 fake sugars and a lid on my coffee cup. I've been here four times and each time the only other person was the sole barista, a guy that I never caught the name of and will probably never see again. The first visit was on the last rainy day here in town and as he crafted my drink, the conversation drifted from how Phoenix has never forced water rations but they receive no where near the rain that falls in Atlanta, to how life sucker punches you and sometimes even kicks you while you're gasping for breath, and then one day you look around and discover that you're absolutely lost even though you have a road map with a sticker screaming at you, 'YOU ARE HERE!', but you're stuck where that sticker says you are because it seems like everyone's left you behind, and you don't have anywhere else to go. On that rainy day morning just off Little Five Points, I received an exceptionally made latte and my commute to Alpharetta still took forever, but it didn't matter. The next few visits were on drier mornings but surprisingly, it was always just me and him and no other customers during the few minutes I'd spend between ordering my drink, waiting, and then adding slight adjustments towards preferences discovered during my years spent as a barista at StarSux. Serving the B&B coffee brand so popular and familiar around these parts, the coffee was always great and we rarely ever mentioned the topic. The small talk would start as just that, but an odd question would work it's way into the conversation and he'd let go a tangent flow of half memories about family and vague allusions to loves long gone and always having to push through the weeds with no end in sight because the only other choice is no choice at all - and without even a tinge of self-pity. With less pretense and none of those faux-philosophical-reality-show-confessional epiphanies, it was always a surprisingly different experience of a morning coffee stop. With no line, no constant rush of the espresso machine, and absolutely none of that artificial-corporate-ordained-happiness pumped into apron wearing baristas, I barely noticed the rest of the space. Rather than an all out coffee-house-guitar/band/music/songwriter scene there is a slant towards theater, and improv splatter fliers line the bulletin board. My fourth visit was his last day working there, having moved onto a new job someplace in Buckhead. And although I've been back, and the coffee is just as awesome and the space just as empty on nearly every morning, it's different. I suppose that's why some of us keep trying new places and meeting new people at random, for those chance meetings that glimmer and fade but connect strangers before we disappear forever. ***2/33

[TL;DR] JAV'OH LORD! Best thing about this spot is the location. Right next to Variety Playhouse. Makes an awesome way to dip in for coffee or a pre-game drink. Where else are you going to get Bell's Two Hearted in a CAN?
(3)Sheena T.
Stopped in here before a show at the recommendation of a friend who is local. They are conveniently located next to the Variety Playhouse and it definitely has a bit of a "divey" feel to it, but the coffee was strong and amazing and the employee behind the counter was super nice and friendly. Only complaint, they didn't have the air conditioner on for some crazy reason so it was hot as hell in there. I'm not sure how people were sitting inside!
(4)Na L.
Nothing special, just any other coffee shop. Service was okay, crowd was cool, parking was good. Cons: dim, dark moody vibe Pros: opens late for those night owls like myself
(3)Ashley H.
Artsy, trendy joint in Little Five Points. In a way, seems a little lost in translation of what they are more considered: night life or coffee. Have been twice for iced lattes. They have a pretty good coffee selection. As far as a coffee shop would go, flavor of drinks and atmosphere, I would give them between a 3-3.5. Nightlife could be better, so I night check out that scene when I get a chance. For some reason I don't feel like I'm in the right atmosphere for just buying coffee. I can relate with a few of the recent reviews in that sense.
(3)Penelope B.
I came in here for a midafternoon cup of tea and a spot to read for a while and found myself in what looked at first like an awkward space but in fact turned out to be an exceptionally pleasant environment. Despite this being billed as a coffee place, there's a decent selection of tea and the staff are knowledgable about it. The seating area is well set up, with bar seats for the more extroverted and tables and a few booths for the introverts or small-group socializers. I ended up staying longer than I'd originally intended because the atmosphere was so nice and I liked the music.
(4)Katie R.
I've become a chai latte snob lately and have been turning my nose up at the coffee shop chais across Atlanta. Java Lord's chai, however, is in my top 3! Not sickly sweet, not too spicy. I like going here to work and study, but they also have a full bar and a night scene. They're connected to 7 Stages theatre so that can make it interesting in the evening. Downsides include lots of smoking on patio and in front (where there are a few chairs), and no dogs allowed on patio; I've sat with mine at the table out front before which is nice, but there's only one table so it's hit or miss finding a dog friendly spot. Also, the snack selection is meager and includes just a few pastries wrapped in cellophane.
(4)Vincent V.
Java Lords is a new coffee shop in Little Five Points located a few feet away from Variety Playhouse. It's just what I like: small, independent, quality coffee, and lots of local art and information to be had. There's not a ton of seating inside, but they have some tables outdoors with umbrellas. Java Lords serves Batdorf and Bronson coffee, which is great since it's roasted locally and ultra fresh. The drip coffee tasted great, it hadn't been sitting for hours. The espresso I tried was nicely done. Good baristas, who have more talent than the push-button coffee jockeys you'll find at most Starbucks locations. One more thing: they offer Turkish coffee, which is a real rarity, but not if you're getting it to go. Which means you'd be taking their cool copper kettles with you.
(5)Chimere F.
I absolutely love the coffee here. A few of the servers are a bit weird and unhappy but its overshadowed by the sweet servers there. Don't expect to get fast Starbucks service. But I have no problem waiting for really great coffee. It's strong as all get up. I'd even say stronger than Starbucks.
(4)paulita b.
ok so its all about the coffee, and its great!!! the ladies (and gents) of the lords care about handing over a good bev. its extremely eclectic, so it, if any in this god foresaken city, is an actual coffee house. not just a idiot pool of hipster research and development. i mean god does anyone hanging out in coffee shops around atlanta and playing shitty sets of music at the mercy of their friendly scenester hookups really think they are hip? well on another note however, what makes a good day for many is a good cup of coffee (or tea) and this place has it. they also offer a full bar, and many entertainment services such as rock band night, improv night etc. so to the java, you are one good thing.
(5)Jason P.
It really is good coffee, 100% fair Trade & Organic. They roast all of their coffee fresh in house now.
(5)Doug B.
O.K. Hipster Coffee House. The coffee was good even though I arrived at a slow time....3PM. The thin long space is awkward and there are dark, and very dark, areas. They share space with a music venue, and apparently the bathrooms as well, and it shows. If you don't mind it being a little grungy then go for it...you are in L5P so what do you expect?
(3)J B.
meh. this place is ok ... it's in little 5 so lots of great creative types come in. the coffee is decent but THE ESPRESSO IS NOT BETTER THAN OCTANE ... I can declare because I'm at octane everyday for that very reason (the espresso is the best in town AT OCTANE besides CONDESA or DANCING GOATS. Nonetheless you'll be entertained by the people that hang out there. but if you're a coffee espresso connoisseur I'd recommend elsewhere ! the bartender was screaming about someone clogging up the toilet and freaking the F out because of it. this place may be the lord of something .. but java it is not.
(1)Chriss F.
A refreshing change from the normal chain coffee houses. It's an old place...rough around the edges...but the coffee drinks are good. I'm the designated driver so no Pabst Blue Ribbon for me. Wi-fi is free and there is definitely a mixed crowd. A nice place to go after eating pizza at Savage.
(4)J. S.
Not an extensive review at all... I stopped in to get a break from the heat and ordered a small, iced soy chai. A simple order but, wow! Whatever chai mix they use at Java Lords is deliciously different. Now I'm mad I didn't get a large.
(4)Sarah H.
The coffee is always strong and the inside is always chill and relaxing. I don't know how comfortable the chairs are for sitting for long periods of time, but I noticed some people "parked" at a table for quite some time! It was super quiet (other than the ambient music) which I think is great for reading. And there is a cute outdoor area.
(4)Laura R.
Internet that works, quality teas and coffees, great atmosphere and friendly staff! wifi is free with purchase.
(4)Christopher S.
I am sorry but this place is disorganized, filthy, serves mediocre fare and is consistently unable to provide quality service. I came here only as a convenience since it is directly across the street from where I live but I walked in today only to be told that I was banned because one of the baristas is incompetent at her simple job of accepting cash and preparing drinks in a timely fashion. About two months ago I had to wait over 10 minutes for a man to finish paying for his drink. The drink was in his hand and he was constantly quibbling with the barista making sure he got his money's worth. When she typed in 05 on the cash register he argued with her and asked her accusingly what the extra five meant. She explained to him he was about to receive a %5 discount and you would think that would appease him but he was very belligerent and when he handed her a $5 bill he demanded a lot more change back. I assumed he was trying to pull a scam on her and I wanted to sincerely help her but what ensued was a complete nightmare for me. I told him coldly that I noticed he had given her a $5 bill and not a $10 and I asked if he could please let me order my drink. The young girl allowed him to yell at me and call me nasty names one of them BITCH. I HAVE never before been harassed or verbally abused in any coffee shop by another customer in my life and I tapped him on the shoulders and said they lost a customer for the day. So the incompetent barista saw that as (acosting a customer) and since he is a regular I suppose they feel they should keep their customers happy and so she sided with him even though he was rather violent to me. This is a first for me. Since when are customers not treated equally? Are male customers allowed to be verbally abusive and threatening to the baristas and female customers? I will peacefully honor her wishes and find another coffee shop even though I have been here three times a week happily ordering drinks from other baristas during different hours. I have issues not returning here and writing my truthful review. Perhaps it is for the best for me to part ways and never recommend anyone here simply for the reason that they treat people so inconsistently and they truly don't care about the well being of anyone who wishes tor order a beverage and relax. For them it is only about the money and it shows in the lack of care with which they treat their customers and the lack of care they pour into their drinks. The drinks are about average in taste; I have had much better and who needs the abuse ?

On my first time at Java Lords I ran into someone I went to middle school in Maryland with, met an editor from Paste Magazine, and shared the room with burlesque dancers from the show going on next door. The place is open until late, has free wifi, outdoor seating, and doubles as a coffee house and bar. And while I appreciated all of these features, it was the definitely atmosphere that made my time at Java Lords memorable. I have a feeling there's never a dull night at this place so if you're looking for a quiet place to do work, this may not be it. But if you want to people watch and enjoy yourself, Java Lords is the best coffee shop/bar in Little Five Points.
(4)Kathleen M.
$5 Delirium Tremens (or Nocturnum!) + tasty chai lattes with lots of foam + free wifi (even if it is sometimes spastic) + great location next to Ragorama + Motown music, almost all the time + friendly staff that'll shake your hand and welcome you to Atlanta - super cozy atmosphere - lots of outlets - easy free and legal parking - decipherable food menu = 4 stars from Kathleen M.

Came here recently to meet up for a meeting. It was about midday so it wasn't super busy. Just a few laptop jockeys seated at the few tables inside. After sitting inside for about an hour or so, it seems that the main focus here is the bar over the coffee. The coffee selection is grand and they sell some really great whole-bean varieties. I think the thing that made me turn my head is that one of the two people behind the counter/bar was doing some pretty hefty day-drinking. Not a huge deal to me, honestly, but that can be a little misleading. The "coffee" aspect of this place seems a little lost in translation and the focal point is more booze from my perspective. Probably not headed back for a coffee date, but I'd definitely come back to enjoy a drink after hours.

I live across the street so this is an easy option for me. It's never crowded in the morning so I'm in and out. I've never been in at night, but based on the people standing outside it looks fun.

Their ginger molasses cookie is good. It was a ghost town when I went, which was a little worrisome. Customer service was OK.

very nice staff and good coffee. the walls inside are painted from ceiling to floor. if you don't like coffee then just stop by to look at the art.
