Academy Coffee may be small in size, but it’s packed with creativity. The specialty drinks are truly one of a kind — where else can you get a banana syrup and bitters latte that actually works? The tiny window seats offer just enough space for people-watching or a quiet sip. Outdoor tables give you more room, and the staff are as kind as they are knowledgeable. The pastries are fresh, and the menu has plenty of options for both adventurous and traditional coffee drinkers. The vibe is relaxed and quirky in the best way. The Academy is the kind of spot you find by accident and end up visiting all week. A true Virginia-Highland treasure.
