Refuge Coffee Essentials

It's official, Decatur. Let's celebrate. Our doors at Lulah Hills are already open, and now it's time to throw a party. Join us Monday, July 27 from 9am to 1pm for our grand opening celebration. Come grab a drink, meet the team, and see our newest home for welcome. This one's for the community that makes Refuge what it is. Monday, July 27. 9am to 1pm. Lulah Hills, Decatur. We'll see you there.

The countdown is on, Decatur. Our Lulah Hills location is almost ready. The space is coming together, our health inspection is officially on the books, and we're getting so close to opening our doors to you. Same welcome. Same great coffee. A brand new home in Decatur. Keep an eye out, we'll see you soon!

It’s here Decatur! Our Lulah Hills grand opening is happening MONDAY, 9am to 1pm. Come grab a drink, meet the team, and celebrate our newest home for welcome with us. We saved you a seat. See you soon!

As we celebrate 250 years, we reflect on the words of refugees who are now citizens: “I wanted to become a U.S. citizen because I don’t just want to live in the U.S.; I want to belong… I want to feel like I belong here and also have the ability to shape the future of this country by casting my vote.” ~ Methusella Rwabose, originally from DRC “In a new country, far from home, the kindness of strangers became my lifeline… the solidarity I felt with other refugees helped me heal and rebuild my life.” ~Desange Kuenihira, originally from a refugee camp in Uganda “I traveled 7,000 miles for a chance for a new home, for a future… I am one of the few refugees given another chance.” ~Abdallah Al-Obaidi, originally from Iraq These are the stories, along with the many our Refuge Coffee employees have lived, that make us proud to be from a historically welcoming nation. Happy 4th!

Y'all showed OUT for the 2026 Refuge Coffee Run! Thank you to everyone who ran, walked, cheered from the sidelines, or just showed up for the coffee after. The turnout was the kind that reminds us exactly why we do this. Every mile you logged goes right back into the work at the heart of Refuge: good jobs, real training, and a genuine welcome for neighbors building new lives here. This is what community looks like, and we're so glad you're part of ours. Same time next year? We'll have the coffee ready.

We say "more than good coffee" a lot but THIS is what it looks like. Behind every cup is a team of baristas building careers, learning new skills, and finding welcome. When you order from Refuge, your coffee supports job training and paid work for refugees and other immigrants right here in our community. Good coffee is the beginning but the welcome is the heart of it! See you soon in one of our four locations: Clarkston, Decatur, Midtown, Norcross.

The Holiday Market is coming. Saturday, December 5 at Refuge Coffee Clarkston. A day of local makers, handmade gifts, seasonal drinks, and community--all supporting job training for refugees and other immigrants. Shoppers, mark your calendar and come find something with a story. Makers, there’s still room for you. Vendor applications are open through November 27. Apply or save the date at the link in bio. See you December 5.

Find us across metro Atlanta. Four locations, one mission of welcome. Clarkston, Midtown, Norcross, and now our newest home in Decatur at Lulah Hills. Swipe or save this post for hours at every shop. Wherever you find us, there's good coffee and a warm welcome waiting. Come say hi.
