There are so many reasons that Savannah, GA is one of my favorite cities in the USA. Its beauty, walkability, and incredible food scene are all big reasons… and so is the enormous collection of Savannah coffee shops to visit.
Looking for a laptop-friendly workspace? There are plenty of options. A quick grab-and-go espresso? Easily done. Fantastic lattes served alongside the perfect Savannah breakfast or brunch? Check.
Researching this blog post has been a multi-year endeavor that was simultaneously incredibly fun and incredibly energizing. The amount of coffee that Jeremy and I drank in the process was arguably a bit excessive, but no regrets!
Here are the best coffee shops in Savannah to check out on your next trip, updated as of our most recent trip to Savannah in 2026.
These coffee shops and cafes in Savannah are concentrated around the historic district, but there are a couple of options beyond there, too.

Unforgettable Coffee Shops in Savannah
Gallery Espresso
Address: 234 Bull Street
The oldest and arguably the ultimate Savannah coffee shop, Gallery Espresso has it all: an extensive menu, a cozy mix of furniture to enjoy inside, outdoor tables, plenty of room to plug in a laptop and work, and local art displayed on the walls.
It also happens to be located along one of the prettiest streets in Savannah at the corner of one of its most beloved squares (Chippewa Square, AKA the Forrest Gump square).
Oh, and they also serve delicious baked goods (I’m partial to the chocolate ganache cake and carrot cake, though fair warning, both are incredibly rich).
Hoping to enjoy the atmosphere beyond the morning hours?
Consider coming back in the evening to enjoy a glass of wine!
Mirabelle Savannah
Address: 313 Abercorn Street
Elegant and charming, Mirabelle Savannah serves up delicious coffee and decadent waffles.
There is some seating available inside, but the small tables out front that overlook the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist are the better place to enjoy the brew if you ask me.
Or, even better, stroll a couple of steps down the road to Lafayette Square.
Either way, don’t skip going inside the cathedral before grabbing your coffee at Mirabelle! It’s free to visit, absolutely gorgeous inside, and ranks as one of my favorite churches in the US.
Vic’s Coffee Bar
Address: 15 E River Street
Looking for a jolt of caffeine when on River Street?
Step inside Vic’s Coffee Bar to enjoy their Italian-style coffee bar, where coffee, alcohol, and desserts are all on the menu.
Vic’s Coffee Bar is part of Vic’s on the River, one of the city’s most beloved fine-dining restaurants, and grabbing a coffee is a great way to get a peek inside this Savannah classic without committing to a full meal!
The Paris Market & Brocante Cafe
Address: 36 W Broughton Street
From Italian-inspired to French-inspired: The Paris Market & Brocante is one of the most delightful boutiques on fashionable Broughton Street… and it includes a cafe!
Once you finish browsing the market’s eclectic and beautiful selection for perfect souvenirs from Savannah (don’t forget the basement!), head over to the elegant Parisian-style cafe for a coffee and a macaron (or two).
In addition to excellent coffee and treats, the space itself is simply gorgeous. Architectural Digest called it “the most beautiful coffee shop in Georgia” for a reason.
Savannah Coffee Roasters
Address: 215 W Liberty Street
A local favorite, Savannah Coffee Roasters has been roasting their own beans since 1909, and they are an absolute staple in the city.
In addition to excellent coffee, this Savannah coffee shop also has plenty of space to spread out inside and out. Feel free to bring your laptop and get some work done!
They also serve a full menu each day, including breakfast options, baked goods, sandwiches, and salads.
Art’s Cafe
Address: 345 Bull Street
Walk into Art’s Cafe, and you’ll immediately see what makes this one of the most unique coffee shops in Savannah: there’s a double-decker bus inside!
Since Art’s is owned by the Savannah College of Art and Design, whimsy is hardly a surprise, but the bus is definitely eye-catching.
You can even sit on the top deck of the bus, if you’re so inclined, but if there’s not room, there’s plenty of seating both inside and out as well.
The coffee is solid, the prices are reasonable, and you can grab sandwiches, smoothies, and acai bowls here as well.
Looking for a unique souvenir or gift from Savannah? Hop across the street and take a look inside shopSCAD before leaving the area!
Franklin’s
Address: 5 W Liberty Street
One of my personal favorite coffee shops in Savannah, Franklin’s has both some of the best espresso and some of the friendliest baristas in town!
Add in absolutely gorgeous decor, a great selection of food, and a transition into a wine bar in the evenings (Franklin’s stays open until 8:30 PM, which is late for a Savannah coffee shop), and you have a delightful addition to any trip to Savannah.
There is limited seating indoors, as well as small outdoor tables, but this is less a place to work than a place to linger over a delicious drink.
The Sentient Bean
Address: 13 E Park Avenue
Located just across the street from the south edge of Forsyth Park, The Sentient Bean serves up fair-trade coffee and vegetarian food, with a huge focus on sustainability.
In addition to excellent coffee, food, and a fantastic location, I have to say that The Sentient Bean also has one of the best cafe names I’ve ever seen.
Foxy Loxy Cafe + The Coffee Fox
Address: 1919 Bull Street / 102 W Broughton Street
How’s this for an unexpected combination: Savannah coffee shop, bakery, and… TexMex cantina.
Sound odd? Well, at the delightful Foxy Loxy Cafe, it absolutely works.
The Foxy Loxy Cafe is a bit out of the way for visitors exploring Savannah’s historic district on foot, though, so if you can’t make it down there, be sure to stop by their conveniently located sister location, The Coffee Fox, on Broughton Street.
At either location, be sure to try the horchata latte (so good!) or the Mexican mocha while you’re there to stay on-theme with your coffee.
Origin Coffee Bar
Address: 356 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard
Spacious and modern with complex, delicious coffee drinks that include creative seasonal offerings: what more could you ask for when taking a break in Savannah?
In addition to serving up elegant coffee, Origin Coffee Bar is also a great place to work or study for an afternoon.
We can highly recommend both the miel and the cinnamon roll!
The Collins Quarter
Address: 151 Bull Street
No guide to the best coffee shops in Savannah could possibly leave off The Collins Quarter!
Much has been written (some of it by me) about the absolute delight that is their spiced lavender mocha latte. I don’t consider a weekend in Savannah truly kicked off until I have my first one!
That being said, their Madagascar vanilla latte is also one of the best coffees I’ve had anywhere in the world.
I’ve listed the address for their first location here, but their secondary location inside Forsyth Park is also an excellent place to enjoy a latte.
(And for parents like us, it’s worth noting that the Forsyth Park location is right next door to the playground!)
Bitty & Beau’s
319 W. Congress Street
Want to combine your morning cup of coffee with a cheerful environment and an excellent cause?
If so, head to Bitty & Beau’s, located just around the corner from City Market!
Bitty & Beau’s got its start a few hours up the road in Wilmington, NC, and its Savannah location is one of 18 shops nationwide that specifically employs people with disabilities as part of their mission for a radically inclusive workplace.
It’s a wonderful cause and a memorable coffee shop to visit in Savannah!
PERC! Coffee
1802 East Broad Street
A bit of a hike (or free DOT bus ride) from Savannah’s historic district, there’s no doubt that PERC is a fantastic stop for coffee aficionados.
Primarily a coffee roaster, Savannah’s Perc Coffee location serves as an outpost for the brand as well as a great local coffee shop.
They source their pastries from Savannah’s beloved Auspicious Bakery, meaning that you can sample wares from two of the city’s beloved local businesses in one spot!
Cup to Cup Cafe
Address: 140 Abercorn Street
As the cafe location of Savannah’s own Cup to Cup Coffee Roasters, which supplies many coffee shops in Savannah and beyond, you can count on Cup to Cup Cafe for a delicious cup of coffee.
The cafe itself is laid-back and unpretentious with zero seating, and the pastries were good-not-amazing.
… But for an excellent drink made with care and very competitive prices, add this Savannah coffee shop to your list!

Thanks for updating to our correct address!
Whoops, sorry about that, Matt!
I’ll get that updated for you guys. 🙂
I’m totally surprised Biddy and Beau’s Coffee didn’t make this list!!!! The coffees are amazing and the atmosphere is truly inspiring!! They get my #1 vote!!
You know, I left it off because they have locations outside of GA and we didn’t make it there personally, but you’re the second person to mention it! We’ll have to add it to our list for our next trip (which, as usual, is hopefully not too far off!). 🙂
I too love the spiced lavender mocha at Collins Quarter. My husband isn’t a coffee fan and loves their hot chocolate, and if you’re in the mood you could make a breakfast meal out of their loaded Bloody Mary! Shrimp, bacon, veggies…it’s all there. My sister and her family live on the river on the way out to Tybee, and a good friend has an old railway workers house in the city on East Jones street, so we love to visit,
