In this month’s Beverage Beat segment on “City Lights,” Beth McKibben, senior editor at Rough Draft Atlanta, explores Atlanta’s buzzing coffee culture. One resource has become the go-to guide for enthusiasts and newcomers alike – Eugene Buchko’s Atlanta Coffee Shops.

Launched in 2018 as a simple landing page for Buchko’s coffee shop photography, the website has grown into a community hub, complete with a blog, newsletter, and meticulously updated coffee shop map featuring nearly 300 independent establishments across the metro Atlanta area.

“I was more interested in the spaces and stories behind coffee shops than just the coffee itself,” Buchko shared with McKibben.
