Octane Coffee and Bar

This is an industrial-chic cafe that serves a variety of espresso beverages, light bites & cocktails at night.

We arrived at 10:50 AM on a sunny Monday and was immediately impressed by the beautiful Victorian homes in the area. Octane is a good-sized establishment with an outside patio and a horseshoe shaped bar inside. Seating is plentiful and the tables and chairs are in decent shape. Today was pretty crowded, with a majority of the customers being hipsters, students and stroller moms.


Grant Park, the intown neighborhood surrounding the park,  is one of Atlanta's oldest and most important historic districts, listed on the NRHP. It is bordered by the Cabbagetown neighborhood on the north, Ormewood Park on the east, Boulevard Heights on the southeast, Chosewood Park on the south, and Summerhill and Peoplestown on the west.

It includes the park, 48 acres or 35 hectares of Oakland Cemetery (established 1850), where Margaret Mitchell,  Bobby Jones, 25 former mayors of Atlanta, six former governors of Georgia, and many Civil War dead are buried. It also includes the Atlanta Stockade, Fort Walker, and the 1858 mansion of Lemuel P. Grant, second-oldest house still standing in its original location in Atlanta, and for whose owner the park and neighborhood were named. The Grant Park Neighborhood Association represents local residents.

Together with Inman Park, Grant Park contains the largest remaining area of Victorian architecture in Atlanta.
