It's funny to read reviews that you know are coming from other coffee stores in Atlanta! (Ha ha ha, Parish? Is that what you do after you consume a drink there?) Maybe they should try changing there name first before they go to spamertising! When will people realize that this makes them look bad?
Amidst a sea of wanna-bes, Inman Perk is the real deal. Simple and to the point. A family owned shop from top to bottom, it is the one coffee store in Atlanta that is trying to do something different. Being a local coffee connoisseur, I happen to know that there are about 3 coffee vendors that supply all of Atlanta (Counter Culture, Intelligentsia, Batdorf & Bronson). Aside from decor, you are pretty much getting the same cup of coffee everywhere you go . . . except for Inman Perk. It cracks me up when people compare two Counter Culture cafes together like they have a different product. It's all the same beans people! It's a sad state of taste in Atlanta these days.
Coming from Seattle, I expect cafes to be as unique as their coffee . . . Inman Perk (although it faces a lot of mom and pop start up problems) at least has broken the grip of the major bean vendors on Atlanta (quite an amazing feat actually). Finally, I can enjoy a different cup of coffee.
Pros: A completely different taste profile, not the same beans, family owned
Cons: It's hard to find a seat sometimes, wireless has problems from time to time
