The Coffee Snobs

Food was better when the big owner guy and his wife (?) were around. Now you order a sandwich without mayo/​cream and you find that the preparers don’t fully follow the orders and you get a little of what you stated you don’t want in the sandwiches. This is even with the tattoed dude writing down exactly what you said.
In short, the attention to detail in the prep of meals has lowered.

I go here frequently for the brewed coffee which is always fresh and delicious — much better coffee than other campus locations. The beef patties are a staple and quite delicious, but what stands out are their soups. Their chicken tortilla soup is probably the best of its kind I’ve ever eaten in my life. So good! Additionally, their music is always on point. It’s just overall a great little café.

True to its name, here you will find coffee, and snobs. Staff is unfriendly and slow, coffee and Jamaican patties are average. Walk the extra block to College of Computing or Architecture Building and bask in warmer service and better dining.

I love the food here, and may be addicted to the curry patties. My only complaint is that the tea/​coffee prices are way higher than other locations on campus– unreasonably so.

Nice Indian family runs hole in the wall inside GT science building. I’m sure those that work and study here appreciate it, but the food and coffee left me underwhelmed. Just fine, but nothing exceptional. Sorry.

This place is wonderful! The coffee, baked goods as well as the sandwich are all really nice and delicious. The staff are very helpful. If this shop was near my office, it would be my regular one.

Great little spot in the lobby of the chem building. Coffee and espresso in the am and fun lunch dishes and sandwiches as well. Great service

I used to frequent this place at least twice per week when they were on Tenth St. in the Millennium building. Whether it was fresh gourmet coffee in the morning or a delicious sandwich with a pile of high-​quality meat, lettuce, avocados, etc., the Coffee Snobs never had an off day. Plus, the owners are cool and very friendly.
I’ve lived in the metro area for 11 years and have cooked about 11 meals during that time, so trust me. This is the best coffee shop and deli in the area. If you want a place that does it all: wings, pizza, onion rings, etc., you won’t be a fan. But, if you want mouth-​watering, specialty sandwiches at lunch or coffee in the morning, this is the place.

Sterile and a lot of crap talking. I don’t wanna hear u complaining about your boss and how he doesn’t know anything. If I order the hot mocha latte, then make that. Instead I am force fed a reg mocha. If I ask for that specific beef patty, don’t tell me no. I am an industry person 11 years deep and do not attend GA Tech. I WAS TRYING to support something local, but they have a long way to go. I guess college students will be college students.

A very reliable and edible alternative to the stuff in the student center. Samosas, patties, standard sandwiches/​half-​sandwiches, and combinations thereof are the bulk of what’s on the menu.
That actually works out quite well — for about $ 10 you can get one of each with a drink, and they have some interesting smoothie offerings. And that’s a whole hell of a lot more than I can say about student center eateries.

Great breakfast and lunch spot on campus in the lobby of the IBB building and just a short walk away from Physics. In the morning, they have coffee, smoothies, and baked goods. Lunch options include good sandwiches, awesome soups (change daily), and pretty much a great alternative to the Student Center (meh).
The line can get pretty long at lunchtime, but they seem to push on through pretty quickly.

The Coffee Snob is a reliable lunch spot on campus, much preferable to the Student Center if all you want is a good sandwich. For about five bucks, you can get a gigantic sandwich with your choice of meat and a pile of veggies. I’m not exaggerating. I usually can’t finish mine and save half for later.
Per their name, they’ve also got good coffee and some homemade pastries. The savory Jamaican Patties are addicting, but I’m not quite sure those are made in-​house. They remind me of a variety you can get at Costco.
If an academic conference isn’t scheduled, the atrium it’s located in is nice for getting some work done and they usually play non-​offensive music.

Just because it’s called the coffee snob doesn’t mean it needs to be overpriced! The coffee and espresso is good, but given both the taste and cost, not even comparable to the Batdorf and Bronson coffee served at Java World located in the College of Computing and College of Architecture buildings across. So if you are indeed looking for a good cup of coffee at Georgia Tech, save your money and go to Java World.

Ok, so I am a graduate student and work insane hours. This can cause my mind to slip about packing lunch and The Coffee Snobs is where I go on those days.
The average price for a sandwich + drink on campus is about $ 5 – 8 (this includes shitty cafeteria food) and this place is the best bang for your buck.
They offer sandwiches, soups (homemade– the tomato & Gorgonzola is my favorite), wraps, Jamaican beef patties, and even samosas. For about eight dollars I can get my usual chicken salad sandwich (which is homemade and way yum), all the veggies (which includes sprouts), avocado, on multigrain bread. This also includes a small cup of counter culture coffee.
Beverage wise they have an expresso machine, have three kinds of counter culture coffee brewing daily, smoothies, tea and the usual pussy coffee drinks. (I haven’t tried these minus the coffee but I hear good things).
The gals that work the kitchen and counter are nice without a lot of attitude. I can even call ahead to have my order ready and I can go pick it up without having to deal with the lunch crowd.
They also stay open all afternoon (close about 4 – 6 pm). With that end note it’s time for my late lunch/​early dinner.

Best coffee on or around Georgia Tech campus. Needs more seating.

This is a really great coffee place on the Georgia Tech campus. The place is in the lobby of the Petit Bio Engineering building.
They have GREAT coffee and absolutely fantastic sandwiches. You can get both regular and heated sandwiches. The line can be pretty impressive around lunch time, but they are effective in processing it.
This is a place with an attitude. The people are really great and engage in discussions, … if you have not tried it you have to go.

Ok, now that I’ve been living here a bit longer… They are *not* pricey. They’re actually pretty cheap for the quality of sandwiches. The coffee is, of course, great. The people are even better.
Be prepared for a long line around lunch, but they handle the line very efficiently. You can pick up a menu by the register for an even bigger head start.
If you’re on campus around the Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience (IBB) building, get your coffee fix or tasty vittles here.
