New York-based For Five Coffee Roasters is entering the Southeast market with a new location in Atlanta.
For Five will open in early 2022 in Selig Development’s mixed-use development 1105 West Peachtree. The cafe, which has locations in several other states, will occupy 3,100-square-feet on the ground level at the corner of West Peachtree and 12th Street. It will be the largest location in For Five’s portfolio and will serve as its southeast flagship.
In addition to a full coffee menu, For Five will also serve pastries, stuffed cookies and a seasonal breakfast and lunch menu with gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan offerings.
For Five was founded as a coffee roastery in 2010 by Stefanos Vouvoudakis and Tom Tsiplakos, with its first retail location opening in 2016.
Once open, For Five will join a 675,000 square-foot office tower, a condo tower and the Epicurean Atlanta hotel at 1105 West Peachtree.
In addition, North Carolina-based Summit Coffee will open a franchise location in Roswell next spring, Atlanta Business Chronicle reports, with plans to open two more metro Atlanta locations in 2022. Summit serves a variety of coffee drinks, local pastries, beer and wine. The family-friendly shop includes menu options and coloring pages with crayons for children.

After closing her pho spot We Suki Suki and the neighboring micro food hall Global Grub Collective this month at 479 Flat Shoals Ave. SE in East Atlanta, Quynh “Q” Trinh will return in January 2022 with a new concept in the same space, Eater Atlanta reports.
Qommunity will see Trinh partner with Seven Chan and Ken Yu, the owners of Lifting Noodles and Poke Burri. The two eateries, which had small kiosks in Global Grub Collective, will take over most of that space. The We Suki Suki space will become a coffee and tea bar on weekdays and will serve sake cocktails in the evenings during the week. On the weekends, it will serve as a pop-up incubator. Eatavision, Trinh’s dinner and a movie business, will operate out of the dining space every other Saturday.
