Jim Adams Farm Table - Atlanta

I’m not at all shocked to see the perfect 5 Star rating. I’m a REAL COFFEE drinker and almost never order “iced coffee” drinks. Along w/ my plain double espresso, I ordered something crazy on a whim that was a mix of “cold brew” with strawberry basil lemon expecting it to be awful. It was NOT! :-D Oh... and the espresso was excellent too.

There’s a lot to love about Bellwood Coffee, but I don’t want to bury the lede. Bellwood has, hands down, the best coffee in the city. They source and roast their own beans, use some sort of magic formula to make the smoothest and tastiest coffee around. It’s to the point where I get disappointed at other coffee shops because it doesn’t compare to Bellwood. Bellwood Coffee shares space with the Jim Adams Restaurant, a fantastic hyper local farm-to-table restaurant. The collaboration works really well, the coffee draws you into the restaurant, and the hot breakfast (and delightful smell of freshly prepared roast chicken) keeps you there. The owners and proprietors of Bellwood are brothers and committed coffee geeks. It is not uncommon to come in and see them tweaking some drink or using some elaborate contraption to make iced coffee. Their older brother painted the murals on the inside of Jim Adams, and occasionally fills in as barista. You can tell from their product that this family loves what they do and have a passion for the craft of coffee. Jim Adams Restaurant is a great space – brightly lit with natural sunlight, seldom crowded, and with plenty of seating options. The location, about a mile south of the South Cobb exit of 285 (and down the street from the former B’s Cracklin’ BBQ) brings a much needed local coffee stop along a long stretch of fast food joints, but may be a bit too far west for most ITPers. I predict that as the word gets out about their coffee, people will flock to this destination.

I recently visited Bellwood during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it was a fantastic 5-star experience during a challenging time. Although the indoor area was closed, there was plenty of seating on the spacious, covered patio that allowed for social distancing. The staff were friendly, the drinks were top-notch, and the decor was stylish. I highly recommend trying their Barack on the Rocks if you're looking for a coffee alternative. Despite the challenges of opening a new shop in current times, Bellwood is managing to navigate the situation with resilience and positivity, and I am happy to support them.

Best coffee in Atlanta. Pop-up cart on Saturdays 9am-12pm right now until renovations finish up. We buy a 2 pound bag of The Reservoir beans regularly. Their specialty drinks are incredible- I get “Barack on the Rocks”, a chai latte with oat milk, turmeric, honey, and maybe ginger? Idk. But it’s amazing. I get it hot when my throat hurts and it helps every time. Hands down, the best drink I’ve ever tasted. Owners and staff are solid people, helpful and personal. Such a great local place- always running into people we know. We love y’all and pray you’ll be around forever. Can’t wait for the renovations to finish up!!

I had a fantastic experience at Bellwood, a hidden gem located within Jim Adams Farm Table. The espresso drinks here are truly exceptional. I tried their latte with mocha syrup, which was absolutely delicious. However, the standout for me was their signature drink, the Sun of a Beach. This unique concoction includes espresso, oat milk, cardamom, and a citrus sugar syrup. The balance of flavors was just perfect. I even heard that they roast their own beans! The restaurant offers plenty of seating options, both indoors and outdoors, as well as ample free parking. I will definitely be returning to sample their next signature creation.
