Condesa Coffee: The Soul of Sweet Auburn


As the Atlanta Daily World Building experiences its revival along with Auburn Avenue a star is born.  That star is Condesa Coffee, one of the many shining lights on this street.  While I am excited about what is going on along Auburn Avenue there are spots that are lighting up the street. They are conscientious business owners who have a respect for history and understand that they are the next chapter in this story of Sweet Auburn. Auburn Avenue has been waiting for a revival and there have been several failed attempts to bring the street back to life.  This present effort is showing signs of hope.  We have quality businesses coming along beside the established businesses and tourist destinations on the street complemented by the new Atlanta Streetcar.  


When I sat down with Octavian Stan, one of the four co-owners of Condesa Coffee, my heart was overjoyed.  He and his partners care about Atlanta and they have a love for Sweet Auburn.  This does my heart good.  They are mindful and respectful of the legacy they are continuing with their work and witness.  The Atlanta Daily world building is in good hands and we hope and pray that we see a continued revival of Sweet Auburn that respects the past while embracing the future.  They also have great coffee and customer service.  You want to check this spot out.  Stay posted as we continue to share the story of what is happening along this great street.  What is happening in your community? How are you balancing the past and the future?  Are you even asking these types of questions?
