Cafe Campesino spreads to Atlanta!
It's an exciting time for Cafe Campesino -- and for all the Atlanta folk that will benefit! -- as they expand beyond Americus city limits and open a new coffeehouse in Atlanta! "Sweet Auburn" officially opened Oct. 31 but the grand opening celebration took place November 14th and was an opportunity to bring together Café Campesino friends from across the state and expose Atlanta coffee enthusiasts to Georgia’s first 100% fair trade coffee company.
In this month's "Fair Grounds" Newsletter, the team at Cafe Campesino describes the official opening of the new store and all of the excitement that it will bring!

"Tucked into the front entryway of the open-air Sweet Auburn Curb Market, Maria’s store generated a buzz even before it was opened. As signs went up, windows got cleaned, and a shiny Italian espresso machine settled into its new countertop, the neighboring vendors and market regulars popped in for an early latte or an iced coffee. And we were so well received during the setup phase. In fact, the store’s first pound of coffee sold two days before Café Campesino officially opened its Atlanta doors.
Now,
with a staff of two committed baristas- Julie, who recently moved back
home after working as a barista for two years in Madison, Wis., and
Nema, a recent Georgia State University grad who worked as a
Café Campesino intern this year- Maria is setting her sights on
attracting customers from nearby Grady Hospital, Georgia State
University and downtown businesses. “I hope to collaborate with
the local community as much as possible,” she said.
She also plans to host monthly events such as coffee tastings and workshops. With such caffeinated classics as americanos, cappuccinos, and chai lattes, as well as homemade goodies like scones sweetened with seasonal fruits, wholegrain cookies and mini donuts, monthly events won’t be the only attraction at this new coffee house.
Café Campesino
Sweet Auburn is located at 209 Edgewood Ave SE and its hours are
Monday-Friday, 6:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. and Saturday, 8 a.m. -5 p.m.
And bring your computer, because it is wired (with wi-fi… as well as
caffeine).
