Food & Drink / Recreation / Restaurants2 Min Read
With the closing of Cafe + Velo next month, another coffee shop, Docent Coffee,has taken its place onEdgewood Ave. SE in Atlanta.
Docent Coffee also has launched a successful Kickstarter, to get the business up and running in the city. The idea behind the establishment is to support local artists in their craft by creating both a physical and e-commerce portal.
Docent Coffee opens on Edgewood Avenue in Atlanta
The aim of Docent Coffee is to “bring some seriously good coffee, food, and art to the city and beyond!”
The company explains the meaning of its name like this: “As our name implies, Docent is here to guide folks to something new, exciting, and hopefully unique in coffee, as well as art. We are deeply passionate about both, but also understand that both are entirely subjective experiences. Yes, we will probably be guilty of some of the cliches ourselves, but we certainly aren’t going to rely on them to have you like us, our coffee, or what we are trying to accomplish. And even though we may try our best, you may end up not liking it…and that’s ok. Your coffee should be enjoyable to you because you actually enjoy it…and we hope you enjoy ours!”
The coffee shop will be not only a place to get the best roasts in Atlanta, but also a fine art marketplace. The establishment’s website has several pieces already posted and ready to be bought. There is also some art available for wholesale.
Where is Docent Coffee located in Atlanta?
Docent Coffee is located at 381 Edgewood Ave SE. Here is a map to help you find the place.
The city has a generous scattering of coffee shops around the Perimeter. Atlanta coffee shops can be found in each quadrant of the city, trading on their respective environments to offer something truly unique to the community.
Starbucks certainly has a foothold here, but so do small mom-and-pop businesses like Brash Coffee, Ebrik Coffee and Land of a Thousand Hills. Much like the Atlanta restaurants scene, the coffee movement in ATL is alive and percolating, just like we like our coffee.

Atlanta is one of the cities selected by Sprint that will receive 5G technology in the first half of 2019, the cell phone carrier says. Atlanta is getting 5G as competition for the service heats up among the other networks.
Sprint’s greatly expanded Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) partnership with Google means metro Atlanta’s Google Fi customers will also enjoy 5G services.
Sprint, Google to bring 5G internet speed in Atlanta
5G is super-fast internet service that will increase webpage-loading times as well as the speed and resolution of video content. It will reportedly be 10 times faster than 4G.
Atlanta is getting 5G as one of nine cities, along with Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, New York City, Phoenix and Washington, D.C.
“We are incredibly excited to expand our existing relationship with Google to include 5G,” said Jan Geldmacher, president of Sprint Business. “This announcement also showcases our dedication to collaborating with Google as we prepare to launch one of the world’s first mobile 5G networks covering multiple major cities.”
