This small coffee shop is a new gem for downtown Norcross!!! It's small, but it got a bathroom, tables to sit both indoor and outdoor. Parking is just imprint of the shop. I'll definitely come back again!!!

Very cute little coffee shop. I also liked the concept behind it of helping those that are new to this country, immigrants and resettled refugees. It's good to see a business with an ethical community oriented purpose behind it other than profit.

Great coffee. Pastries from Alon’s bakery very delicious. There is some outdoor seating that is either shared or is from the ice cream shop next door. Indoor seating is limited. The ambiance is so nice and great cause and business.

Now I don't have to go as far for a good cappuccino. It's not as big as the other coffee shop downtown but it's a great atmosphere and has a nice courtyard area when the weather is nice.

Peaceful cafe to sip coffee and read a little or get a little work done .. nice outside if the sound of a train doesn’t bother you.

Georgia-founded coffee shop with 4 total locations. Their Norcross cafe is cozy, yet lively with jazz music gently playing in the background and large windows allowing natural light to flood inside throughout the day. They're a nonprofit company with outstanding intentions you'd be happy to support.
Things you should know:
I. PARKING
Refuge Coffee is at the right end of the downtown plaza area. Street parking is available out front of the business. I noticed coming anytime before noon on weekdays leaves plenty of available space options open for convenient parking; however, as the afternoon approaches, finding a space can be rather difficult.
II. SERVICE
Friendly and timely
III. QUALITY
Their coffee is dense and acidic ~ not watered-down, ideal for coffee snobs like me. If you prefer less dense coffee, they have milk and milk alternatives available to dilute your beverage. I particularly liked that this location has sugar-free syrup options to mix up your drink with.
IV. CAPACITY
During my time here, the crowd seemed to be heaviest around noon hours. It tapers off after. Although the outdoor and indoor seating is slim, I continuously saw available seating so you'll be golden to visit and find a seat.

Lovely little cafe in town. Fresh delicious coffee and a few fresh baked goods. The danish was perfect with the cappuccino.
