The Grounds' menu boasts international brews (such as Cubano coffee and café au lait) as well as freshly baked, coffee-complementing pastries. Try a steamer ($2 for a small), hot chocolate ($2 for a small), a latte ($3.50 for a small), or a double-shot espresso ($3.50) to take the bluster out of a blustersome winter walk. A small house-blend coffee costs $1.50, so this Groupon could caffeinate your mornings for more than a week (you may redeem it in multiple visits). Cold drinks include a small lemonade made with ginger, clove, and honey ($2); sorrel ($2); and fresh mango, pineapple, strawberry, or peach smoothies ($3.50).

Joffrey's Coffee & Ice Cream is not your average Japanese courthouse because it's a cafe and ice cream shop that features a full bar with tasty cocktails, hookah, and fine cigars in the evening. It sells smooth, milky ice cream and coffee so good it's the preferred espresso brand served at Walt Disney World.

ZenTea’s menu begins simply enough, highlighting hot teas served by the cup or in pots for one, two, or three people. But regular sips quickly evolve into presentations more often seen at serious cafés or craft beer bars. Things start small with a mini tea tasting, which features a flight of three 9-ounce pots filled with your choice of brews. Servers also up the theatrics with their iced matcha lattes, which are blended from green-tea powder, organic milk, and agave sweetener before being chilled in a martini shaker. Owner Connie Miller has collected more than 100 teas from around the world, and introduces patrons to their distinctive nuances during tasting classes, afternoon high teas, and even casual stops at the café counter. There, guests can also order lighter food items such as quiche, salads, soup, baked goods, and seasoned air.

Considering that ZenTea’s century-old building once housed Chamblee’s town hall, it’s not surprising that the shop has become something of a community hangout: locals stop in to listen to live music, host showers and book clubs, and take zen-inspired classes in meditation, reiki, yoga, and even reflexology.
