The Atlas

"Today was my first time at The Atlas and I was super impressed with the aesthetic. The coffee was excellent, too. I graduated in 2005 and if The Atlas had been around when I was in school I would have lived there – what a wonderful place for students, WWU, and the entire community. I heard Davis Elementary teachers sometimes stop by for coffee – super cool! Also, I ran into an old friend, Professor Kirt Onthank, while I was standing in line. Thanks again for a great experience. I moved back to Walla Walla in 2016 and should have visited a long time ago, but I will be a regular now, bring my wife, and talk about The Atlas with everyone. Great job!"

"I really enjoyed visiting the Atlas and seeing all the students studying in the shop. They have really made the coffee shop into a cozy hangout for studying. There is a nice outside area as well if the weather is warm! They experiment with new drinks or seasonal drinks and I really enjoy the variety. The baristas are so friendly as well. Going in the mornings you are more likely to get a table because many students go there to study in the afternoons/evenings. Less are there early in the day."

"Lovely little (busy) coffee place with friendly baristas, tasty lattes with an oat milk option, and local Walla Walla roast! So, why didn’t I give this place more stars? How could they improve? By making their space accessible to ALL community members, including those with strollers and wheelchairs. Unfortunately, a stroller doesn’t clear the base of the steps and the sofa placed right beside it, and on the other side, it doesn’t clear between the arm chair and the table / chest when someone is seated there. It would be far more difficult for someone with a wheelchair, as they tend to be wider than a baby stroller. Getting in and out of the coffee place was, to say the least— challenging. Don’t get me wrong, I will be back, mazing my way through if I have to, as I really enjoy the friendliness of the baristas and the coffee was good… but, I really do hope that this review is taken into consideration and a bit of furniture repositioning is done to make it more accessible to all community members. Thank you for the friendly vibes and coffee (& for the two young adults who held the door open for us on the way out)!"

"Most adorable little niche’ ever! The chai was amazing with cinnamon swirled into the steamed milk. The baristas were friendly, and the atmosphere calm and warm."

"This coffee is lovely also the books they have sitting around to read are wonderful I enjoyed this little shop right by the university in Walla Walla Washington.."
