Current: Coffee + Collectibles

"I have been making a weekly visit to Current for nearly 2 years now. In that time, I’ve eaten a lot of good food, played so many intense games of Magic, and have been embraced by a beautiful community of nerds and hobbyists. I’m so grateful to Justin and Seth for creating an inclusive environment for all of us to have fun and have fellowship with one another."

"I came by here a couple weeks ago looking for a late, light lunch and some coffee for the drive home after work around Decatur. I love all nerdy things and had pinned Current on my to-try collection a while back. It's a little easy to miss driving around, but my GPS got me there. Parking is pretty limited -- the business next door had to ask some people to move because they'd created a spot behind the worker's truck, lol -- but I had a lovely experience once I found my way inside! They have a pretty large menu for a game cafe, and much of it is vegan or vegetarian. Pressed sandwiches, burgers, baked goodies, smoothies, all kinds of coffee drinks, and salads/wraps. I wanted something warm, light, and comforting. As simple as it may be, I was thrilled to find a pressed PB&J on the menu for a low price. I was offered my selection of a surprisingly large number of jellies (strawberry for me!) and my sandwich came out quickly. I had both a sweet tea and a latte -- hydration and stimulation! Lol. The food was good, and my mint mocha latte tasted just like an Andes mint. My favorite part of this place, though, is the vibe! Nerdy and inclusive. Wish all places could be like that. :) Fun merchandise from all kinds of anime, shows, games, movies, etc; board games; a tidy all-gender restroom; Pride flags of different flavors everywhere...it really did feel like a pocket of welcomeness. I don't see enough spaces like that in the southeast, sadly, and so it's extra nice when you do come across it. There were lots of teens and folks wearing alternative style hanging around in cozy couches and tables playing games and I just love to see it! While the game and card selection isn't /massive/, it's perfectly satisfying (remember -- not a ton of space in the building) and the staff was more than willing to help with people's questions. This is a wonderful space to hang out, make new friends (if games/anime/nerd culture is your scene), and grab a bite to eat. Give it a go if it sounds like your speed!"

"The people here are really nice and inviting. It's a coffee shop and a place to play MTG and other games with other like minded people. I will definitely be back with my decks and play. Will return."

"From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, staff and customers both were kind and inclusive. I imagine it's an amazing place to go for tabletop gaming with friends but we found it looking for good vegetarian options. I ordered the most vegetables I could get on a pizza. Was happy to find they were fresh and flavourful, and overall the pizza was great. My partner ordered the barbecue impossible burger which was absolutely amazing. Spicy, sweet and a little crunchy from the fried onions. The coffee was also fresh, delicious and lovingly made by a skilled barista."
