Friday, at Terminus: 3280 Peachtree Rd NE, Suite 187; Buckhead; 404.254.5712
Opening this weekend, Emerald's a crib of espresso-extracted coffees and teas serving an international mix of grubbery like slow-roasted Spanish Pork Pinchitos and Bali Beef Satay kebab platters, decked with reclaimed antique chairs and tables made from 100+ year-old Indian castle doors. Grand-opening-style, they're giving away free small coffees and food samples all weekend; there'll also be live music, plus face-painting on Saturday and Sunday, so cancel whatever the hell you're doing, and go get your ass Ligered.
Too busy for free coffee and snacks? Just order your coffee online here, at EmeraldCoastCoffee
