Cafe Rothem

What an excellent find! I happened to be in the area and looked up coffee cafe near me on google maps. This place pops up with excellent reviews. As a coffee drinker for 50 years, I wanted to see how good they were. The place is very, very nice and comfortable. It has a great atmosphere and is very clean and well organized. The Americano I ordered was freshly brewed and unlike many coffee shops in Georgia, they served their coffee hot, just the way I like it. Cafe Rothem is definitely on my list of places to come to when I am in the area. It is a really good place to relax and enjoy excellent coffee.

Café Rothem is such a vibe! I love stopping here during my trips to Georgia for the Pumpkin Bread and a moment to relax. The whole cafe is like a little library with soothing music and lovely food/snack options. I hear the coffee is absolutely wonderful as well. The lady that's always here is super nice, easily answers all of my questions, and makes the best pumpkin bread I've ever had. Even the bathroom feels cozy! Definitely stop by for some "rest, restoration, and restarting."

I happened upon Rothem thinking it was a bookstore that had a coffee shop in it. I’m so glad I was wrong, it turned out to be more than that. This is a little gem hidden inside an ordinary shopping plaza in Duluth. Cafe Rothem has a distinctive way of brewing their coffee through a Siphon. Highlighted on their wall. Each siphon is actually used at a table enough for four patrons. I’ve heard of pour over, French, but a siphon? Love the personal touch and care of this brewing method. I ordered a nitro brew and while I knew ordering a South American coffee would be most likely a Colombian this particular brand Panama is interestingly not like any Colombian I’ve tried and not bitter nor overly fruity. As a slightly fruity but very smooth coffee I now can attest the fruitier coffee is best as a Nitro brew. I’ve never appreciated a washed or fruity South America mn or African coffee has a hot brew. Love this smoothness and still medium bodied coffee as a Nitro. The house made ‘blooming pumpkin bread’ was not overwhelming nor underwhelming. Just enough pumpkin taste and not over powered by the cream cheese. My fear was the cream cheese filling would overpower the pumpkin taste. The hand made waffle like pastry which I’ve never tried was cute and sweet as expected definitely could taste a bit of the brown sugar. It’s also great that Cafe Rothem uses sustainable sourced coffee and is a part of the local community as it featured local artists in monthly music performances. Love the serene warm atmosphere.
