I just moved into the neighborhood and decided to get off the computer (completely wrapped up in Google Plus nowadays!) to get some hot chocolate at starbucks. As I turned south on Clark St. I saw there were people sipping coffees in the window. I took a step back and saw it was a place called "The Coffee Studio". So I figured I would give it a shot and see what theyre all about. Walked inside and loved the decor! Sharp, clean, minimal design. The atmosphere was perfect. Everyone seemed to be in conversation, yet it wasnt distracting or loud at all. The cashier saw me standing there checking the place out, but didnt push me for an order or say "can I help you?" or anything like that. Just very friendly and nice and non-obtrusive and non-salesy. Love it. There was a long table there with people on laptops by the door, so I would guess there is wifi but since I went on my way I didnt check to see if it was free or not. Next time... If so, score! The Coffee Studio will be seeing me again, soon, especially if I get free wifi for my new tablet... :+)

I come here during the work week to get a recharge after lunch. The cortado is one of the best Ive had in the city. Its got the perfect ratio of milk to espresso, and the baristas pay close attention to getting the right foam texture when they steam the milk (smooth and silky, not that garbage dish soap nonsense). Take a few extra minutes and enjoy the curation of art they have above the two person tables surrounding the space. This is a good spot to grab a quick pick me up, or bring your laptop and stay for a while to get some work done. The atmosphere is hushed and everyone seems to be there for the same reason. There are plenty of outlets, and the nice bright space keeps you in touch with reality during the marathon work sessions. Dont forget to use the super convenient tip cards located just below the register if you plan on paying with a credit card.

Only one hour of wifi?! Um, guys, do you realize that there are coffee houses less than a 5 minute walk from this place that have no time limit on the wifi? I cant think of a single other coffee house that I have ever been in in my entire life with such a silly little rule. Why the heck would you put a limit on that? It just made me leave, it didnt make me get another cup. I MIGHT have stayed if the staff had, like, smiled or been a tad friendly. I dont need a hug, but basic communication without overt hostility would have been nice. I wont be back. Too bad too cause we usually enjoy supporting all the local businesses around the neighborhood.

I ordered coffee for $6 plus tips. It was very early in the morning so I had my breakfast sandwich with me so I can sit down and enjoy the atmosphere but immeditely after I paid and sat down, the lady who worked at the coffee studio approached me and asked me to leave because eating food was not allowed inside their coffee shop. I am a social media influencer and a youtube vlogger always looking for the next big thing but this is definitely not it. Not coming back! Maybe, that is why Starbucks is what it is, never experienced that at starbucks even though I get my coffee from them every single day...

Great coffee! Great people! Great atmosphere! Granted Im a bit of novice when it comes to the subtleties of coffee and the brewing process but Im learning. I love their hand-crafted specialty coffees, prepared so meticulously that even I can tell the difference. The staff has been very friendly, down-to-earth, and more than willing to answer my coffee questions without talking down to me. Brought my daughter, a big latte fan, recently. She just fell in love with the place. I would highly recommend checking this place out.

Great atmosphere, and, uh, pretty staff. ;) Drinks came fast and some of the food options were decent. Check out the bathrooms. I dont know what my obsession is with bathrooms lately but I like to visit different restaurant/bar bathrooms to see their style. On the coffee scale I found their taste a tad bland, but still they had a great soy foam, which was much appreciated from a connoisseur of soy foamed up right. This is a gem in a neighborhood lacking a tad in coffee selections.

I love this coffee shop! I get the Coldbrew black, no sugar. I say this because not only is it delicious but also so you know Im not the type to order Pumpkin Spiced Lattes and therefore help you to better consider the information in this review. I always have great service, everyone is very nice. I also feel like the decor and ambiance are amazing. I mostly just stop in for coffee and continue with my day, however it looks like a great place to linger.

The Coffee Studio is very close to where I live; so I was really excited to check it out. In other reviews, people commented on how unfriendly staff was; I didnt experience that. Staff was fine and friendly with me. My only complaint is that it is pricey. My neighbor goes there religiously and my school buddies always talk about how they go there for study groups, so it must be good if people come back.

Swanky design and skilled baristas cant makeup for the silly wifi rules (you need to buy something and get a code that gives you one hour of wifi? really?). While its the best coffee place in Andersonville (Sorry Im not sorry, Kopi, you weird devil, you.) its not really the type of place Id like to hang out at on the regular. Happy to drop in as a pass by though.

Its an average fancy coffee place, pretty full of itself and full of hipsters, but the coffee is good, strong, and the milk is well frothed. They dont do tasty flavorings like, say, Ipsento, but for a good, basic coffee it works. It seemed more like a place to sit with friends than to wit and work. They also sell lots of overpriced coffee accoutrements.

Its a great place to go and take a break from your busy day. I like bringing in my laptop and getting some work done in a nice environment. The atmosphere is very clean and modern without a lot of clutter or distractions. The only gripe is that the wi-fi passwords are only good for and hour before you have to stop your work to get another.

Coffee studio is my favorite coffee house in the city ( I may be biased because I live right up the street ) but the coffee and food items are consistently delicious! They have different espresso ice cream treats as well as very strong mixed drinks (late night) that seem to always perfectly cap a night out in andersonville.

Super cute spot to park your laptop and get some work done with some great coffee to boot. Ice blended options are great as well as a wide variety of baked goods to enjoy. Only drawback is the 2 hour wi-fi limit w/ every purchase, but their offerings are good and so thats no problem at all. Outlets easily accessible.

I brought a sandwich to eat here with their coffee. They saw me entering, sitting down and putting my sandwich on the table. Only after I paid for my coffee, they kicked me out because I didnt buy the sandwich from them. This is a coffee shop, not a restaurant with waiters and dining menu. Never coming back.
