Best Coffee Shops in Savannah
Savannah, Georgia — updated August 22, 2026
Six Savannah coffee stops, from a Bull Street cafe with almost 5,000 reviews to a Sandfly bakery that only opens Wednesday through Sunday.
Listings verified
Savannah's coffee is split between the Historic District, where cafes run on brunch hours and tourist foot traffic, and the neighborhoods east and south of it, where the roasters and bakeries keep shorter, stricter schedules. Several of the best close at 3pm, and one is dark on Saturdays. Below, ordered by how squarely each answers the question and how settled its rating is.
1. The Collins Quarter
The most tested cafe on this list: a 4.7 average across more than 4,900 reviews, which is a rating that has survived years of downtown traffic rather than a hot streak. It sits at 151 Bull Street, and the daytime cafe and brunch menu runs 8am to 3pm daily, so arriving at 3:30 means the dinner menu instead. That dinner service runs Wednesday through Sunday evenings. Brunch pricing sits in restaurant territory rather than coffee-counter territory: the Swine Time Beni is $19 and the Collins Burger $26. Best treated as a sit-down morning, not a quick cup to go.
2. PERC
An east-side coffee operation at 1802 E Broad Street, away from the squares and the walking-tour routes, holding a 4.7 rating over 821 reviews. That is a proven number rather than a promising one: enough volume that the score reflects consistency rather than a good first month. We don't have confirmed hours or a menu in hand for this location, so check before making a special trip across town, particularly on weekends. For anyone staying near the Historic District's eastern edge, it is the closest thing to a neighborhood coffee stop that isn't attached to a restaurant.
3. Origin Coffee Bar
At 356 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, on the western side of downtown, with a 4.7 average from 669 reviews. The count is smaller than PERC's but still well past the point where a rating settles, and it lands in the same band. The name is the entire pitch: a coffee bar rather than a cafe with a coffee list, which makes it the more straightforward choice when the goal is a drink and not a plate. Hours and menu specifics aren't confirmed here, so call ahead if you're building a morning around it.
4. Auspicious Sandfly
A bakery first, with a full-service coffee bar added, which is why it ranks below the dedicated coffee stops despite the higher 4.8 rating from 675 reviews. It sits at 7360 Skidaway Road in Sandfly, a drive from downtown, and the schedule is the thing to plan around: Wednesday through Sunday, 7am to 3pm, closed Monday and Tuesday. The pastry case is the reason to make the trip, with a pear and almond croissant, cream cheese danish, apricot basil croissant loaf and ham and cheese among the regular items. Bread and pastries are made in house.
5. Maté Factor
A yerba mate cafe and bakery at 401 E Hall Street, rated 4.7 across more than 1,400 reviews, so the score is well established. Coffee shares the board with mate here: signature drinks include lattes, fresh green, dark roast, mocha mint and vanilla hazelnut. The hours are the catch. It runs 7am to 8pm Monday through Thursday, closes early at 3pm on Friday, is closed all day Saturday, and reopens Sunday 8am to 8pm. Anyone planning a Saturday morning around it will be disappointed, so shift to Sunday.
6. Urban Deli
The highest rating in this group, 4.9 from more than 1,600 reviews, but it earns that as a deli rather than as a coffee bar, which is why it sits last. At 321 Habersham Street, the counter turns out sandwiches, salads, soups and pastries made daily, with coffee, latte and chai alongside. The sandwich and salad combo is $18 and a half-pound Greek salad $7.50. Hours are longer than most places here: 9am to 8pm Monday through Thursday, 9am to 9pm Friday and Saturday, 9am to 7pm Sunday. Useful when you want lunch and a coffee in one stop.
What we left off
Bitty & Beau's Coffee on West Congress Street rates 4.8 from 792 reviews and opens daily 9am to 5pm, but it operates locations in multiple states, and this guide sticks to independents. Kava House on Bull Street also came up with a strong 4.9 from 293 reviews. It is listed as a bar rather than a coffee shop, and we had nothing confirming a coffee program, so it doesn't fit the premise here.
