Crazy Love Coffee – Roswell

Owners Perry and Sandra Pettett opened Crazy Love Coffeehouse in May of 2017. The mission at Crazy Love is to provide a great cup of coffee and a comfortable gathering place, while sharing the love of Christ. The Pettetts, who come from a building and design background, felt God leading them in a new direction.

After 18 months of praying, planning, constructing and designing, Crazy Love Coffeehouse was born. The couple searched diligently to find the perfect cup of coffee to pair with their signature Belgian Liege waffles.

While Chattahoochee Coffee Company has both a West Midtown and Smyrna location, it’s the Riverside location that we love the most.
