A place can have all the comfy sofas in the world, but if its coffee reeks, it can't be Best Coffeehouse. AURORA, though not highest scorer on atmosphere, keeps our bean dreams alive with fabulous coffee that is rich and well-roasted, not scorched or acidic. Proof of its goodness? Aurora recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary, which, in Atlanta shop years is like 100. The barristas know their stuff and their stuff is damn good.
