Finca To Filter

For a light breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up, you can’t go wrong with Finca to Filter café. With two locations on the Westside, this lesbian-owned coffee shop has some of the city’s best beans, sourced from small growers around the world. Stick to classics or try one of Finca’s rotating seasonal drinks—we love the Vicki POW, a delicately flavored gingersnap cookie latte named for legendary queer Atlanta DJ Vicki Powell. Their pastries are equally on point with savory and sweet treats for whatever suits the mood (try one of the handmade empanadas from Atlanta bakery Casa Cardoza). And with their West End location just steps from the BeltLine, you can make this the designated meetup for those “weekend walks” you’ve been all talk about for months.
