ATLANTA -- One of Decatur's favorite local shops is coming to the new Ponce City Market this month.

Dancing Goats Coffee Bar is tentatively scheduled to open Aug. 17.

"The opening of Dancing Goats' pop-up shop and our marketing center gives context to the community and a taste of what's to come for the people that Ponce City market will ultimately serve," said Michael Phillips, COO of Jamestown, the real estate investment firm that is turning Atlanta's old City Hall East into Ponce City Market.

A Dancing Goats opening celebration will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Aug. 17. It will include free samples and live music. Anyone who produces an Old Fourth Ward sticker will receive a free sugared donut.
