By now you’ve seen Baby Driver, right? If not, you should; I’ll wait.

You are viewing: Where Was Baby Driver Filmed

Writer/director Edgar Wright practically gave Atlanta an open love letter in his action-filled, music-driven, heist getaway flick. And yeah, we’re still not going to let him slide for calling it “the Buford Highway,” but considering how many movies come here and masquerade as New York, Los Angeles, or Chicago, we’re tickled pink that someone decided to make us the star for once.

At the end of the day, it’s the attention to detail that really elevates Baby Driver for Atlantans. This isn’t just a case of setting the film in Georgia and slapping extra peach icons in the background to hammer home the illusion. The car chases, for the most part, make geographical sense. The coffee is Octane. The “finest wining and dining of all the wining and dining” is actually in the top 10 of Atlanta’s 50 best restaurants. Bonus points will be awarded for paying attention, Mr. Wright.

Even outside of Atlanta, people are crazy for Baby Driver. The film’s currently holds a 95 percent Fresh aggregate score on Rotten Tomatoes. And since Baby Driver is so authentic, there are numerous locations from the film to see here in Georgia. We’ve gathered just about everything there is, so grab your camera and drive (safely) to these spots. (Spoilers ahead.)
