ATL came in at No. 16, while Seattle and Portland placed first and second, respectively.

The personal finance site, determined its results by examining the 100 most populated cities across 14 key metrics including affordable coffee shops, average price of coffee and presence of coffee-centric events.

The Peach City earned a spot in the top 20 thanks to the number of coffee shops, coffee houses and cafes per capita. It was No. 13 in that category. It also ranked high on the average spending on coffee per household list at No. 18.
