Drip-Thru Co ee

Drip-Thru Co ee in College Park is the perfect spot to grab a high-quality co ee, espresso, latte, smoothie, or tea on the go. This locally owned double-sided drive-thru concept was inspired by the popular model of co ee shops found in the Pacific Northwest. Unlike national-brand co ee shop drive-thrus, you will not find any speaker boxes on the premises. Each order is placed at the window for a serving of Southern hospitality with your beverage of choice.

Not in a rush? A patio with umbrella-covered tables is available for enjoying your brew made with ethically sourced and locally roasted beans al fresco. Food options include pastries delivered fresh daily from Engelman’s Bakery in Norcross, Ga. And what co ee shop is complete without donuts? Assorted sweet treats from nearby Atlanta Donuts are also available. Gluten-Free options include R.E.D.D. Bars, Lou’s Fruit Bars, hard-boiled eggs, and salami and cheese roll-ups.

Inspired by craft beer and kombucha brewers, the founders set out to create fresh flavor concoctions, such as chocolate cherry and elderberry chai, using ethically sourced organic co ee beans that they proudly roast themselves. They o er an assortment of pastries, cookies, and toast – avocado and peanut butter banana –with gluten-free and vegan bread available from Atlanta-based bakery, Alternative Grains. Enjoy your brew and nosh to-go or stay awhile to sip and savor in their comfortable shop.

Designed to be “part daytime social vibes, part breakfast and brunch eatery,” The Breakfast Boys is yet another fantastic all-day breakfast spot in

Historic Downtown College Park. With an innovative menu that includes jerk chicken and sweet potato wa es, red velvet pancakes, and a peach cobbler latte, this place has quickly gained a popular following. So much so, that a virtual waitlist is now available on their website and through the Yelp app. Simply enter your information to be added to the list ahead of your arrival and receive a text when your table is ready.

Café Belli

Once you walk into Café Belli in Hapeville, you might feel as if you’ve been transported to a chic Parisian café. The cozy space has ambiance in spades with its signature emerald green décor, mood lighting, modern art, and plush seating areas.

Who says brunch is reserved only for weekends? For an indulgent brunch experience any day of the week, The Real Milk & Honey in Historic Downtown College Park has you covered.

There’s co ee and juice available to wash all that down, but what is brunch without a mimosa? Their

fully stocked bar includes ingredients for mimosas in every flavor imaginable.

Chick-fil-A Hapeville Dwarf House

The birthplace of the chicken sandwich is right here in the District, and the newly remodeled Hapeville Dwarf House stands where the original building opened in 1946. For Chick-fil-A fans who aren’t familiar with the Dwarf House concept, the restaurant features sit-down and counter service where you can enjoy one of the best breakfasts around. The menu at the Dwarf House goes way beyond the chicken biscuit. We’re talking wa es, omelets, biscuits and gravy, scattered hashbrown potatoes, and more! And the best part is, select breakfast items are served all day.

Whether you’re craving the convenience of a drive-thru co ee shop or the indulgence of a mid-week brunch, there is something for everyone’s tastes in the ATL Airport District. The next time you wake up in the District, be sure to enjoy the vibrant co ee and breakfast scene to start your day on a flavorful note.

Renaissance Village Harbors a Haunting Experience: Unveiling an Evil Harvest

Just minutes from downtown Atlanta, a sinister secret lies hidden in the heart of Fairburn. It’s a tale of centuries-old curses, agents of evil, and a young child’s descent into darkness. Welcome to “The Village – Evil Harvest Outdoor Haunt Experience,” a thrilling and spine-chilling adventure that dares the bravest souls to explore the depths of unspeakable evil.

Centuries ago, the ground upon which The Village now stands was cursed, unbeknownst to the countless residents who have called it home over the decades. Little did they know that an unspeakable evil was destined to awaken from its long slumber. Agents of evil, whether by design or accident, managed to summon spirits and ancient demons from the cursed land.

Among the horrors that have emerged from this cursed soil, one figure stands out— an embodiment of the darkness that has enveloped The Village. A young child, mistreated by his parents and forsaken by society, has thrived amidst the malevolence. He’s grown into a mindless killing machine, his purpose shrouded in darkness. His only aim: to harvest the souls of anyone he encounters as an o ering to the demons that now rule The Village. In this realm of

By Iesha Westmoreland

despair, no one is safe from his relentless wrath. Director of the experience Dave Dorrell states, “Think of it as Children of the Corn, but all grown up.”

This terror is not confined to mere legend— it is an experience that awaits those who dare to enter. This unique event, located on the grounds of the Georgia Renaissance Festival, is a two-part adventure that combines a carnival-style midway known as “The Courtyard” with games, food, beverages and music, and a ticketed walk-through outdoor haunt aptly titled “The Village.” The Courtyard experience is free to enter. The outdoor haunt experience requires a ticket purchase, with tickets ranging from $35 dollars at the gate or $30 online. The Village also o ers group rates and skip-the-line VIP access tickets.

As you venture into “The Village,” be prepared for intense, graphic scenes that incorporate simulated blood, flashing lights, loud sounds, and scenes of torture and death. It’s an immersive experience designed to test the limits of your courage and resilience. While the haunt is recommended for ages 13 and above, even the most seasoned horror enthusiasts may tremble in the face of such malevolent forces.

As the sun sets over Fairburn on September 29th, casting eerie shadows and setting the stage for a night of terror, questions remain: Will you be one of the curious souls brave enough to venture into the heart of darkness? Can you brave the malevolent spirits and long-dead demons?

The Village – Evil Harvest opens on September 29 and runs every Friday and Saturday night through the end of October. Find more information on the website – www.garenfest.com/haunt.
