Atlanta, Georgia is home to many coffee shops with even more options and variety. It’s hard to choose which Atlanta coffee shop is best or if there even is one.
I love coffee shops for different reasons: drink/food options and atmosphere. Each one offers something unique while also having something in common, coffee!
Octane
Octane Coffee in Grant Park is a favorite for its open space and transition into a bar at night.
Miracle on Monroe
Pop-up bars are becoming more and more popular each year. These bars can feature anything from a popular TV show to holidays. Miracle on Monroe is Atlanta‘s original pop-up bar with a second location added in 2017 because of its popularity. The original location is smaller so the wait can take longer, but it can be seen as the better location because of its size and how cozy it feels. The second location, Miracle Two, is larger and allows for a faster moving line.
Atlanta is a large city that is continually expanding, which means there are so many activities or things to do in and around the city.
Here’s my [always growing] Atlanta bucket list.
Go to the Aquarium
Did you know that Atlanta is home to the countries largest aquarium? There are small fish, large fish and even some animals that aren’t fish. You can also see a show or two during your visit. It’s great for kids and adults.
Walt Disney World is the most visited theme park in the world and has more than enough to see and do. There are 4 theme parks, 2 water parks, a downtown area and tons of resorts.
This means there’s a lot of things that have been deemed must-do or must-eat attractions when visiting. Here’s my Disney World Bucket List, which is always growing!
See the Welcome Show at Magic Kingdom.
If you’re an Avatar or Disney fan then you should definitely go to Pandora: World of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Orlando, Florida. Pandora is the newest attraction at Animal Kingdom and definitely brings a new level of excitement to the park.
My brother and I took a last minute 2.5-day trip from Atlanta to Orlando with the main goal of seeing Pandora because we’re both huge nerds and also absolutely love going to Disney World.
Each year, Huntsville, Alabama celebrates its culture and community with an incredibly large and well-thought-out restaurant week. This is the 6th annual Huntsville Restaurant Week, not to mention the best so far! There are 60 restaurants and 5 local breweries joining in on the fun with events as well as lunch and dinner specials at each participating restaurant.
I have been dying to go to a Michelin Star restaurant for the longest time and finally had an opportunity to do so during my latest trip to Las Vegas, Nevada.
My mom and I spent some time in Las Vegas together shortly after both of our birthdays so I decided to splurge [ah!] and take us both to a really nice birthday dinner. It’s the most expensive and most highly acclaimed Las Vegas Michelin Star restaurant that I’ve been to [so far].
Have you ever heard of Huntsville, Alabama?
Being from Georgia, I am surprised to find out that most people outside of the south haven’t. I also didn’t know a lot about Huntsville before going, but am pleasantly surprised by the amount of things to do here.
Huntsville might be small, but it’s full of culture, food and NASA. I’m serious. Huntsville is not only home to great barbecue, but is also home to Redstone Arsenal, a U.S.
The New Orleans food scene is incredible. It’s one of the things NOLA is known for.
If you find yourself in New Orleans, here are [my] main places you can’t miss for food.
Beignets and CoffeeCafe Du Monde is the place that everyone goes when they arrive and for good reason. Don’t be scared off by the long lines because they move very fast and you’ll be enjoying this fried goodness before you know it. You order them in three’s so be prepared.
Austin, Texas is an incredibly vibrant city with a ton to do. You definitely don’t want to miss some of the main spots, but will undoubtedly have to visit again.
Eats
Torchy’s Tacos
Torchy’s Tacos has multiple locations and so many taco choices. I tried the fried avocado taco and a fish taco, both were great. This is the place that multiple people mentioned and recommended going to before I arrived so it’s a must do.
