It is Now Marietta Cigar and Coffee Company. I can say that the difference in the product and the service is night and day. There is a smoking lounge separated from the coffee side. It is still the Emerson brand coffee, which is a blend of Costa Rican and Sumatra Beans ground to an espresso ground-used for all espresso based drinks and their brewed coffee. Which I found to be outstanding. The baked goods seem better and bigger; definitely worth the price. Personally I think they should charge more. The service is out of this world amazing. The barista, John, in the early mornings is amazing. Very warm and apt to please. The owner Michelle Prewett is a touch of Southern Hospitality the Marietta Square area has been lacking. From my experience emerson's before held inconsistent hours and their product was fair and a majority of the time inconsistent as well. Now, even with a the cigars and smoking lounge, it is by far better than anything emerson's was; and by far anything Starbuck's has striven to be. They are open seven days a week, free Wi-Fi, Smoking Lounge, and a dining area for non-smokers. The decor is better and more in tuned to the coffee house vibe. Warm and inviting. Almost like home. The tables are in need of improvement, but to my understanding it is something the new owners look to change in the future. Seriously go check the new emerson's: Marietta Cigar and Coffee Company 456 Roswell Street Marietta, Ga. 30060 770-514-5104 Emerson Coffee Company is No more.

But, I would never drive out of my to get there. The hours of operation are not posted and several times, soon after sitting down with my latte, I have been told that they were about to close. Many times I have driven by with intentions of stopping and they were closed. For the life of me I can't understand why a serious retailer would keep banker's hours. Be careful when you sit at a table. The floors (great looking concrete) are not level and the tables rock around on them. This is not a good inviroment for a full cup of coffee and I have worn my latte out of the shop at least twice. Once, when I went into the shop, someone was stretched out on the couch. I thought maybe it was a vagrant but this person (a young lady) then got up and took my order. I wish the owner would sell out to someone that was serious about this business.

I have always been greeted with a smile and the staff really knows how to make you feel at home. I noticed on the back wall a sign that states: Customers are the life blood of Emerson Coffee - We must treat them as a member of the Emerson coffee family - Well all I can say is yes they do treat everyone like a family member that walk through the door. I would like to be able to go in on the weekend - but I also understand it is a small independent. Also, the comment above about the price equal to Starbucks.......Well I get a large mocha bianca (3 shots with Ghirardeli Chocolate) with whip for $3.71 - Starbucks $5.49 (SB charges for the whip and the extra shot) - So cost wise it is no comparison. Tell your friends - maybe the more we get in there they will increase their hours and days open! I have been going to Emerson Coffee since the day they opened.

I've been coming here for a little over a year and I feel like the staff is very nice. The coffee shop is always clean and tidy and now that I am "regular" I never have to tell them my order, they make it for me as soon as my car pulls up! How sweet is that? That's real service if you ask me, I used to be a die hard Starbucks person and, yes, I go there when Emerson is closed on the weekends. I, now enjoy the taste of Emerson's espresso over any coffee shop! As far as the comment about waiting too long in the drive-thru, all I have to say is: maybe it's time for you to just get out of the car and stop inside? People really spend too much time in their car anyway! The coffee shop has a really nice relaxing environment and you can use their wi-fi with purchase of espresso drink. That's a pretty great deal right? I think so. I'm sitting here now and all the customers that come in are greeted in a kind manner and seem to have small conversations with the baristas. Give them a chance! Everybody has bad days. I’m sitting at Emerson Coffee Company right now reading all the reviews and I have to disagree with a few.

What coffee shop doesn't serve coffee on Sunday?! On the other hand, the raspberry mocha is deeeeelish. Their hours are not posted on the window and it seems like they’re NEVER open!

The tennager that was working was very rude and was in no hurry to prepare my coffee. (Just a helpful hint) The next time you look into hiring new employees you should really evaluate them and make sure they have a friendly personality. She had no personality and is probably running off alot of your business. I will never be back thanks to her!! I stopped in Emersons awhile back and the service was horrible.

The staff was both friendly and efficient. If there has been any delay getting your coffee, I can understand why. They make everything fresh when you order it. The coffee isn't sitting around in a carafe getting stale and cold. A cup of "regular" coffee is actually and Americano consisting of freshly pulled shots of espresso and hot water. The coffee is worth the wait and if you have the time to go in and relax, you certainly won't be disappointed. I just went to Emerson for the first time this morning.

I just got a latte and it was creamy and rich. About the same price as Starbucks but much better quality. Will definitely be going there in the mornings. I would rather spend my money on a great cup of coffee at a small store like Emerson's than waste it on a bad cup at Starbucks. I am also assuming that they took the advice of one of the previous commenters because the staff I encountered was extremely friendly and efficient with my drink.
