On Thursday, I made another one of my near daily stops over at Octane Coffee. While there, I was informed of the good news. After months and months of waiting, the wildly popular coffee shop opened their satellite location over in Emory Village (just around the corner from Emory University). Open since early last week, it sounds like Octane Eastside is already hopping.
Though I have yet to make it out there and inspect the site, I’m sure it’s killer. In the meantime, be aware that the Eastside location has shorter hours (6a-8p M-F & 8a-8p S-S).
Alright ya’ll … back to some football. Buddha … OUT!

April showers bring May restaurant openings? Sure … sounds good to me. Remember to check the May Dirty List for the most up to date information.
Village Cafe In Smyrna
So this one is confusing … word from various internet posts is that Village Cafe is scheduled to open in Smyrna. The address is listed as 2860 Atlanta Road, Smyrna, GA 30080. However, there is already a Village Cafe right around the corner. What gives? For now, I’ll leave this off the map until I straighten it out.
Emerald Coast Coffee
A self-proclaimed “next generation coffee house/fast casual restaurant,” each location of this chain boasts its own roasting facility. Their menu of beverages is extensive and there are a reasonable number of international cafe style food options. Though a hard date seems elusive, end of May is a good guess at this point. The shop will be in the Terminus Complex in the heart of Buckhead.
Address & Information: 3225 Piedmont Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30305) // Emerald Coast Coffee Website
Bistro In A Box
Bistro In A Box, scheduled to open May 9th, is a new “concept” from Horn Of Plenty catering. From what I can tell – the place is basically a take out joint for group meals. Their website says that the ideal serving size is four to six people. However, they also offer full off premise catering. BinB is located in the Trackside building down in Decatur. Address & Information: 307 East College Ave, Decatur, GA, 30030 // P: 404.941.7799 // Bistro In A Box Website // Bistro In A Box Menus

So in what has become a daily routine, I poked around the web a few days ago only to come across the website for Noon Midtown. The menu will include Counter Culture coffee, pastries, breakfast fare, sandwiches, soups, and salad.
The restaurant, to be opened at 1080 Peachtree Street, is opening under the direction of Katie Birmingham. Though I don’t know much about her, I got a kick out of her sample menu. It looks pretty appealing and I got a kick out of the “Before” and “After” themes. I’ll add this to the March Dirty List (no link yet) and keep on top of this for ya’ll.

So for those of you that did not visit the SRBC (internal) this past weekend, here is all you need to know: Octane!
I don’t drink coffee on anything close to a regular basis (maybe 5 times in the past 10 years); however, I know the goods when I see the goods… and Octane my friends … is the goods.
I’ll dispense with the silly coffee puns and get to the point: Baristas Danielle Glasky and Crystal Rodgers placed first and second. Their reward? A trip to the Nationals in Portland, Oregon, in three weeks.
Oh yeah… apparently we are in a coffee deficit. Who knew?

From the archives (12.08.08)
Overall: 
So I promised the gang that I would give them their 15-minutes and include them in a review. So here you go guys and gals – this one is for you.
I was lucky enough to get an invite to the most exclusive of birthday celebrations! It was so tough to score that even Mandi was S.O.L.!!!! That’s saying something – she’s famous enough that she only needs one name!
Needless to say, I joined the lovely Elizabeth H (HAPPY B-DAY!!!!), magnanimous Ben O, inquisitive Chris & Leslie R (who I expect to read this entire review), and sexified Laura F, for brunch at Carroll Street Café this past Sunday. Now with that stuff out of the way, I will get on with the recapitulation.
