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.

It was a blast! Awesome performance by Rothem Jazz Trio tonight! The coffee was great and the atmosphere was also fine. The service was decent. We will visit again when they play again. The performance was almost professional level as in 5 Star hotel lobby. Thank you!

Stumbled across this cafe and it’s the cutest ever!! Had the white choco mocha and a ham&cheese sandwich while I studied. Loved the jazz music and the aesthetic! Super cozy. The man that took my order (I’m assuming he’s the owner) was extremely sweet and friendly!! He had the biggest smile the whole time I was there and made sure everyone in the cafe was taken care of. Will definitely be back!

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.

Such a sweet and lovely little coffee shop. Live music, books, records, and great coffee. They also offer small bites and bakery deserts that are cheap and super yummy. The coffee was really good. I got the burnt sugar latte I believe and it was sweet but really good. The owner of the store us who helped us decide from the menu which was really nice. The seating reminds me of older Chinese restaurant seating. It's definitely a must go.
