The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is committed to continuing our normal features, where appropriate, during the coronavirus outbreak. For full coverage of the outbreak in Atlanta, please check our Coronavirus News Section. We have decided to continue Best of Atlanta voting for the time being, despite social distancing. We encourage our readers to support local businesses after the authorities loosen the social distancing rules — along with supporting those businesses that offer delivery or pickup during the outbreak.

In a 2019 Reuters poll, 63% of Americans age 18 or older said they drank coffee the previous day. A good chunk of those live in Atlanta, according to WalletHub, which listed the city as the 15th best coffee city in America.

We know not everyone gets their caffeine fix from a chain, and you’re the people we’re talking to this week.

Which coffee shop is your favorite spot to enjoy a cup o’ joe? Are you more in to the cute cafes, like these OTP spots? Or do you prefer to stay intown, where shops serve coffee for every generation?

Here are your choices:
