This was my first visit and the experience was good. Staff was kind and I was greeted quickly. I ended up with a simple americano coffee and a everything bagel that was very well seasoned. Under $7 for my order. Dancing goats is a self sufficient coffee bar that allows you to prepare your own purchases. Examples.. a toaster for your bagels and toast. Also a bagel cutter if you want your bagel cut and a microwave to warm your pastries. Covered Outdoor seating area that you and your pets can enjoy. Indoor seat was there but I dont think is available because of covid(not sure).

Give four starts for lack of signage and visibility. We drove around for 30 mins in traffic trying to find it. Finally parked and had to ask for directions twice to get to it! The chocolate chip frapp and white chocolate mocha with raspberry was delicious. The whole cream was very creamy. Loved the drinks!

I have come here a few times before, here and there, mainly for their outside patio: great covered space with lots of light & activity.i came back today (6/22) at about 5:30 pm, and the two baristas working were so very friendly! i had to leave this review just for them. they both had a gentle/subtle warmth and kindness, which is very much appreciated, and definitely stands out these days...thank you for the good vibes!

Really solid espresso with a fun looking menu of pastries and other light eats. Got a con panna on a beautiful Thursday afternoon as well as an Americano. The double shot espresso was flavorful and complex without being heavy, and the whipped cream balanced it out perfectly. Normal coffee prices run here. Wonderful patio and screened off porch area. Really recommend a visit!

Fantastic, and what would make this place even better would heat lamps on the patio ;)

Great coffee and an excellent location just far enough from the hoards of people in the PCM food hall. They don’t make their own food or snacks, but have some pastries and tiny bites if that’s what you’re looking for.Has an awesome covered patio with couch swings and plenty of seating. It’s a perfect place to hang out or get some work done!

Wish they had more non-coffee options (I can’t drink coffee, but love a good tea, which there were only limited options). But love the area and especially the outdoor seating. A great place to hang out with friends and chat, even in the summer heat.

Location is great and the staff are always really nice and friendly.Main gripes is they charge $1 for almond and oat which is totally ridiculous. My go to drink is a double espresso over ice with a small splash of oat and they charge over $5 for such a simple drink.

I was visiting Atlanta last weekend and stumbled upon this place. All other coffee is now ruined for me. They have the best coffee I have ever had - I dont even understand. I actually went and ordered a second coffee that same day. I have been trying to find something similar tasting in the Chicago suburbs but nothing compares.

My favorite coffee shop in the Ponce area. Staff is super friendly, drinks consistently taste great. Most of the seating is outdoor, but it is covered from the sun/rain and it is not too terribly hot.

I came here because of the rave reviews. The staff wasnt friendly toward me. That put me off right away. Other than that the location is nice. Very wide open space. Chairs and seating everywhere. They have an indoor and outdoor door area. The place is very clean. The coffee was okay. Nothing that I would rave about. Next time I come this probably will not be on my list. Be your own judge and check them out.

Dancing Goats serves high quality coffee as well as delicious sweet and savory breakfast treats. Service is friendly and efficient. They have opened up the inside of the shop for orders with good social distancing measures in place. You can also order and pickup via the Toast app. The highlight is the large outdoor space where dogs are also welcome, complete with tables and chairs, even cushioned swing seats, to enjoy your coffee in peace or with a friend.

They have a great patio an atmosphere however I wasnt very impressed with their drinks. We had a mocha frozen and a dark chocolate chip frozen.. Neither were good enough for us to say we have to go back.. And beware their straws break super easily.

Good coffee and good vibes. Latte was definitely on the pricier side (comparable to sbux), but I think that comes with the territory. The outdoor seating is plentiful.They also have beans available for purchase — definitely some good roasts available. Worth a visit!

One of the best coffee places Ive ever been to! Their hot chocolate is surpsingly delicious, I asked them to add some caramel sauce and that was a great decision. The decor is so inviting, the outside patio area is super fun. Husband and I chilled out on their giant hanging swing while enjoying our drinks.

My daughter and I stop by this coffee shop to relax and enjoy a nice cup of hot coffee. Of course everyone has to wear a mask, very nice place to go just to chill. Nice quiet sitting area, friendly atmosphere. When ever you feel like chilling out, this is a nice place to chill through all this pandemic and everything else going on in this world, mask up, get out, practice social distance and Enjoy your life. God bless you all! Enjoy your day today!😷😎❤

The coffee here is really delicious. Great flavor and lots of milk options. Love the outdoor seating, though it can get busy and hard to find a spot sometimes. Be sure to come early on weekends if you want to sit outside in their covered patio.

Other Dancing Goats locations are good, their product is solid, but this location is too busy to really customize an order. My latte turned out crazy sweet and although the espresso was good, this reminded me of a Sbux coffee, bleh.

Large outdoor seating area with recliners, swinging benches and standing workspaces adjacent Ponce City Market. Parking is limited to 30 minutes. I recommend parking at Old Fourth Ward Park where parking is free on the street and walking to the cafe.

There was suspicion in the air that morning, suspicion served with garlic croutons and a side of ennui. Hastings! I called out in a peremptory tone. My toes are plump yet again! Oh, come at once, old friend, that I might experience one last time the smooth, supple joy of the sandal! But Hastings did not answer, neither then nor in response to any of the subsequent, ever more urgent iterations of my plea. Those were the law years, and Hastings, ever a devotee of things presupposed to have been readily lubricated, why, Hastings had discovered the Society of the Slick Squirrel. I was never to see him again. Shortly thereafter, my toes were to burst from the unaccustomed pressure. Now, I walk on my hands.

Great coffee shop with good flavor and nice roasted beans for purchase.I have lived near Atlanta a while ago, so when we made the trip up, we almost always made this a stop, so when I visited Atlanta after moving away, we made sure this was on our list of stops.Over that long period of time, I have not yet walked out with a bad coffee from there. It always has a good flavor, both hot and iced drinks, rich coffee taste and smooth frothed milk. Prices are average (on par with other coffee shops).Ambiance is pretty nice, although at busy times you will not have a chance to sit. People do come with laptops and stay a long time, so hunting for a table is a struggle. Their outside roofed patio is nice, but when its 95 outside, you think twice about it. Would definitely recommend this for the coffees though, their beans are great as well.

Great service and coffee. Love places that offer oat milk and a parking lot to park (most spots have a 30 minute cap, however). Definitely a great place to enjoy coffee & have pleasant conversations amidst a pandemic because of plethora of outdoor seating.

I went to 3 separate Dancing Goats locations during my business trip to Atlanta, and this was my first. Whenever I come across a new coffee shop I always order a cafe au lait with heavy cream (no sugar), and Dancing Goat did a great job with it. Because of that I kept my eye out for the other locations during my travel in the area.

Very cute coffee bar with a good selection of coffee and tea. There is a very small amount of indoor seating but they have a lot of room.to sit outside. It is kind of hard to get to, you have to climb a flight if stairs from outside of the market it near the coffee shop. The service is mediocre and there is a slight wait to get your drinks.

Conveniently located, clean and airy space to gather. Good selection with quick and courteous service. There is ample room for social distancing in the covered and screened area. The completely open air patio, however, is not in use. 🤔☹ Not sure if they have restroom facilities available. The water feature is rather noisy, making conversation a bit difficult.

As much as I’ve loved Dancing Goats over the years and have given them a lot of business, I’m so disappointed by my experience there last week and will not return. Unfortunately I’m lactose intolerant and the barista made my drink wrong which I didn’t discover until after leaving on my way to work and ended up getting sick from the whole milk. People make mistakes - no big deal, but when I went back two days later to buy coffee beans and usual drink I was told they would not make the drink for free. I’ve probably spent over $1000 at this business and understand that there are situations where people take advantage of the rules, but being told “that I should have called” to report the issue the day it happened didn’t occur to me. The manager was supposed to call me, but never did which leads me to believe that they don’t really care. So for my fellow coffee + patio lovers, make sure to try your drink before leaving so Dancing Goats can improve their customer service in future.

Good coffee spot near the Ponce City Market. Skilled baristas serving drip coffee as well as espresso varieties. They also serve their own brand of Dancing Goats coffee beans.Get there early to get a seat inside; plenty of seating otherwise in the two terrace areas.Parking is very easy on site too.

Went to this location two years ago and went back for the second time this week! It was just as amazing as I remembered. Service is great and prompt, and the options are great for those who like coffee and those tagging along who don’t. I chose to bring my family here because I remembered there was a nice outside lounge space. We needed up staying over an hour hanging out and leisurely enjoying our drinks. I cannot recommend this place more!

If you can find the parking, its a great atmosphere to work. There are bigger tables inside for bigger parties, rocking chairs outside, a fountain, and great creative vibes. But the real thing is the coffee. I got a latte and my husband got the cappuccino. Both were done perfectly! Right temperature. Right flavor. Right full-bodied taste. Coffee snobs can breathe easy. Staff was also kind and quick. I believe they had pastries and little eats as well.

The coffee was fairly average, but there is no way Im cool enough to drink coffee here based on the crowd in attendance on the given day I came. My clothes were missing a certain garbage can chic and my hair was too closely and too recently cut and cleaned. I did have a laptop in my possession giving way to some semblance of blending in but I lost all my cool t-shirts and Chuck Taylors years ago.

I love their outdoor screened patio! Its great for sitting out in the morning with a latte and a book. The Italian soda is great, I recommend adding the peach syrup. The rock garden seating is also nice for chatting, people watching, and most importantly, dog watching. The water fixture in the patio provides some nature-esque white noise, which is nice for getting some work or reading done. The coffee is good and the prices are reasonable, comparable to any Starbucks.
