Illy Caffé is set to open in “early spring 2023,” according to a news release. Atlantic Station had been without a coffee shop proper after Starbucks closed down on the corner of 17th and State streets.

This will be Illy Caffé’s first location in the Southeast as the brand looks to make a further imprint in the United States.
