Blue Cloud Coffee --
New Owners @ 123 Luckie Street Shop

Blue Cloud Coffee 123 Luckie Street Downtown Atlanta 404-222-3700 Web Site: www.bluecloudcoffee.com Buy Beans Online: Blue Cloud eBay Store

The new owners, George and Bích Vân McIntyre, have an existing business selling Blue Cloud Coffee, which uses beans from her family plantation in Vietnam -- check out the pictures in the store to see exactly what coffee beans look like in the fields or read this great article from The Story: "West Side importers bring taste of Vietnam to Atlanta." The coffee is strong, good stuff.

The McIntyres are very excited about being a neighborhood business and even though they just took over a week ago and officially bought the business today, they are already doing a lot to really get things going. For one thing, they have changed the shop's hours so it's now open 7 a.m. - 10 p.m. EVERY DAY! Apparently the new schedule is already serving a need, as all this week there have been people in there at all times during the day. (You don't have to get a drink to visit, BTW, they say "Even if your not drinkin, we're always open for just sittin and thinkin'.")

Another change is that the owners are really interested in finding out is there is any particular niche they can fill as far as special food items (sandwiches, pastries, etc.) or other functions. Neighbors are invited to make suggestions at the shop (123 Luckie St.) or by emailing bluecloudcoffee@mindspring.com.
