Dancing Goats Emory Campus

Convenient location for Emory students but the two coffees I got here were a miss in my opinion. I got a small iced apple crisp latte, and it did not taste good, definitely didn’t taste like apple or anything related to the fall. Also, I think some drinks are overpriced compared to how they taste. However, the staff is very nice and conversational! The spiced apple chai latte was tasty though! I’m finally one for three here.

One of my favorite coffee places! They always make my order perfectly, and everyone who works here is incredibly kind!

There were very few sandwiches left and no quiche.Because the cafe was closing permanently the next day.

A Perfect Blend of Coffee, Culture, and History! Dancing Goats Coffee, nestled within the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University, is much more than just a café—it’s a tribute to the rich history of coffee and its global journey. The name “Dancing Goats” is inspired by the Ethiopian legend of Kaldi, a goat herder who discovered coffee centuries ago. According to the story, Kaldi noticed his goats energetically “dancing” after eating the berries of a mysterious bush. When he tried them himself, he experienced a similar burst of energy, leading to the discovery of coffee. This meaningful nod to Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, perfectly aligns with the global health focus of the Rollins School. The historical connection alone makes this café worth a visit, but the coffee its

Really enjoyed this location, as it’s nested in a very convenient location for students and staff alike. Here are some pros and cons: Pros: 1. Excellent customer service 2. (cold-take) Their cold brew with salted caramel syrup is pretty fire 3. BIG, NEW study space (heads up: under school wifi but EmoryGuest is accessible for guests) Cons: 1. Prices could be a bit friendlier to undergrad and grad student’s wallets Overall, great place to get a coffee/tea, study, and/or hang with friends 🙌.
