Snow White Coffee is my favorite on the street, and you’ve got options. I don’t want to waste time reviewing why I don’t go to the other shops. But at Snow White there’s kind baristas, they make a great drink, the place is clean, and prices compare to the competing shops. There is not a lot of seating, but I’m usually a coffee to go person anyway.

i’m one of the annoying chatty regulars with a dog!! snow white is the reason i have friends and a relationship with my neighborhood. people hate to see folks find a third space and build relationships lol. the worst part of swbc is the people who approach my dog without asking me first, and i’m always grateful for the way the staff assert that you gotta act right around pups if you wanna hang at the shop. it’s the only dog friendly coffee shop in the neighborhood, so if you’re not dog friendly, you can go get crappy coffee at timeless lol.

The cute mural on the outside caught my eye, didn't expect much of the place and just ordered my regular cappuccino. It was the best cappuccino I have ever had. So good I went right back in and ordered a second one, and I'll be considering buying their beans in the future. Easily the best coffee on Piedmont Ave.

Their mocha was a 10/10! Just the perfect amount of sweetness, I’m usually hesitant about ordering Mochas because of how sweet they are. Friendly service as well.

Such a cute, very clean coffee shop with outdoor seating and a delicious mocha. They also sell ceramics and I got myself a beautiful small bowl.

A proper coffee spot, Snow White! Bold, elegant flavors. Great balance in the latte profile. Leaves you wanting more. Affable owner who stands behind the product, literally and figuratively. You can enjoy a moment devoid of taking oneself too seriously. Easy does it. Worth it.
