Gilly Brew Bar

We are so in love with this coffee!!! It was made so well and of great quality. They respect the beans. The cappuccino was exquisitely prepared. Once we added Jasmine I was hooked. I felt as if I was watching a cooking show. Great preparation!The staff prepared and chatted at the same time. It was lovely!!! We went up to the 2nd floor and enjoyed the hammock-like chairs with our coffee. They were just right. Very quiet and relaxing. We did not want to leave. Great lazy day outing and worth the price.

ordered a chaider which was homemade apple cider with masala chai, which was delicious for the colder weather. The matcha isn’t presweetened if you are looking to have a less sweet matcha experience. The vibe of the place was chill and they host community events. A Saturday visit lead to me coming back later that night for an open mic night. 10/10 wholesome experience

I got an iced mocha that was fantastic. The atmosphere is great and the view of the Stone Mountain village and train tracks from the patio is awesome. The staff are very friendly. This is a great coffee shop.

Becoming a routine visit when I hike Stone Mountain. I come for the welcoming warmth, incredible matchas, and peaceful atmosphere. Blessed for spaces like these

I like to explore different coffee shops around the city to work from. I was in the area and figured I’d try this out. Have to say it’s by far one of my favorites in Atlanta. The barista was extremely nice, drinks were great and the ambiance was exactly what I was looking for. Will definitely be coming back!

Really awesome coffee shop with a great location and even better drinks! The service is great and they make you feel like a friend when you walk in.
They have a balcony which you could sit at and enjoy coffee with your friends, or a an epic Chai tea latte while you study or relax.
Really great spot!

Had such a good experience visiting their shop! Their coffee is genuinely good, and the food coming out the kitchen was delightful and demolished before a photo could be taken, while their coffee lends itself to being sipped and slowly taken in. Their seasonal elixirs are creative but still truly delicious, and their pourovers are worth waiting for. The space itself could've sat me for hours of comfort and the service made for a genuine experience with delightful employees who know their craft.
A special find and a wonderful time, and a huge blessing to the community. :)

I visited this spot for the 1st time yesterday despite having passed it multiple times in the past. I need to start by saying that the customer service is beyond spectacular. Every single person we came in contact with was so pleasant.

I initially went because I heard that Apple Butter Bakery would be selling their products there now that they no longer have their Stone Mountain location. The manager explained that that was in the works and went on to give a thorough explanation of everything else on the menu.

My drink and food were delicious, my server was funny. The whole experience was just pleasant and I look forward to coming back in the future.

Gilly Brew Bar makes an amazing lavender latte. The space is full of windows and vegetation with a friendly staff. It is a great place to grab a coffee, start your day, and support a local business.

A gem of a place to visit. Janette was such a pleasure to speak with over the days of my travel and visits here, their love for coffee shows through their crafted creations. House made seasonal syrups, and great tasting espresso. The energy of the staff and place was amazing and welcoming. A must visit when in town. Their food menu was amazing as well, the salad and Sando are must tries!

Went out to Stone Mountain, and stopped here for a bite, and some coffee. The space was really unique, the staff was warm and friendly, the food was great, and the coffee was delicious.

Highly recommend checking out the upper deck, and the outdoor seating. Really great views.

My husband and I were passing through Stone Mountain earlier today, and we found a gem! I ordered a lavender latte and their lox bagel. The latte was top tier, and I would venture to say that the lox bagel was the best I've ever had. You could tell it was made fresh and with quality ingredients. We ordered to go but stayed a little longer than anticipated due to the chill vibe and the cool people inside. If you're in the area, I'd highly recommend them.

Great spot to get good coffee and just chill; maybe even get some work done. The staff is awesome and loves the art of it all just like true coffee drinkers should. The seasonal elixirs are cool too. Interesting and tasty!

I cannot belieeeeve that I’ve lived in Norcross/Tucker for yearssss and I have never even heard of this place. And as many times as I’ve parked at the library, which is right across the street, and walked over to Stone Mountain park lol. I’m forever grateful that my friend suggested it. It is absolutely amazing. I love the vintage vibe and I was told that the building was built by those who were enslaved and is now a Black owned coffee shop, talk about a full circle moment! I wanted to try a variety of things, so I was recommended by the owner to try the Lick Shot iced espresso drink, I’m a fan of ginger beer so that was a no brainer, and I also ordered a homemade oatmeal cream pie and their ‘It’s Vegan’ open faced sandwich/toast. The Lick Shot was delicious, Little Debbie can’t hold a candle to that oatmeal cream pie and the sandwich?? Devoured! The service was also amazing which can be hard to come by in Atlanta, let’s just bffr 😂 and they also have events like karaoke, art shows and comedy nights. I can’t wait to go back!

Gilly brew bar is my favorite coffee shop I've been to in Georgia. Their commitment to excellence is beyond anything I've seen. I love the service and the location a lot. It feels comforting and warm everytime. I would highly recommend!

So the owner and barista Janette are the hippest, friendliest, coolest people. Niko the chef is amazing and serves to please. I had the peach salad and they made me fresh lemonade to order since I do not drink coffee or tea. My companion got a fresh brewed coffee that he swears tastes better than any Starbucks coffee. This is such a cozy spot and we chose to eat and sit outside where the hanging hammock chairs are located. This place is a must visit for hip bohemians, families, couples on a date and anyone who enjoys high quality fresh brewed coffee and tea. Nice place just to sit and relax and take in downtown Stone Mountain. You won't be disappointed! The customer service is outstanding!

Amazing experience at the historic “Mayor’s house”. Jeannette was our wonderful host who knew that I needed a lavender brew with oat milk- perfect! We will definitely revisit! Don’t miss this jewel with live music featured first Saturday nights!

Hands down the best cup of coffee I've ever had! I can't get over it. I'm drinking it right now.

The service was great too. I don't live anywhere near this place, but if I'm ever in Stone Mountain again, I will def be stopping here.

If we're in Atlanta, its known we're going to Gilly's Brew Bar. Amazing coffee creations, inspired elixers, and tasty bites. Added to all that, everyone we've ever come across are friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do-- thanks @gillybrewbar for not being a coffee shop, but a real forum for community, creation, and the best damn coffee around.

If it seems like Gilly is operating in a class of its own, that’s because it absolutely is.

I made the drive out to Stone Mountain from in town to visit their original location today, and wow was it the right choice. First off, the house is stunning. It’s across from active rail tracks (seriously active - the porch even rumbles when trains go by!), the town center, and the end of the Stone Mountain path.

You can order downstairs inside when you come in, or find a table and order from the menus to have food and drink brought straight to you, and you can also see what’s in stock that way. The menus are split since food and drink is run separately - the Birded Bird runs the food menu and it’s solid brunch fair with mostly-vegan lunch options. Big ups for the tasty plant based burger on the pretzel bun!

Their drink menu is off the charts interesting. Tea elixirs, playful seasonal coffee creations, served in to go options and fancy glassware. I’m gonna be back to try the rest of the frankly extensive list.

There’s inside and outside seating, including some hammocks! They’re fully up and running again, so the restroom is available too. I brought a book, but lots of folks were doing work on laptops, happy to escape their own houses.

All of this and not to mention how historically awesome it is that this old plantation house is now black owned and run. So come on out, walk through Stone Mountain park a bit (for free, from this side!), then walk over to Gilly to just take it all in.
