1000 Faces was the first time in my life I experienced coffee as it was meant to be experienced. 6 years, thousands of cups, $10k in coffee equipment and too many over caffeinated days to count, I have to come back and say thank you to the folks who got me started on my coffee journey. What a great shop and I hope you guys are around in Athens for 1000 years and you inspire the coffee journey for so many more Dawgs. (But also Roll Tide!) read more

My friend who is in the coffee business wanted to try this shop while he and his wife were in town. We got there and the place was full so we sat at the front in some stools. We ordered two cortatdos and one expresso. He was impressed that they served soda water with his expresso to clean his pallet between sips. They ended up buying a couple bags of their coffees to take back home. read more

What a cool place and the coffee lives up to the vibe, too. Win win! We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon before heading out of town and the place was bumping! Seating was a bit limited but we were able to score a few spots at a communal table so we could do a few computer-y things while we were eating and caffeinating. I had a delicious cold brew coffee and an incredible sweet cheese danish, whereas my husband had a latte and a savory croissant. It's a month later and I'm still thinking about that danish! I also love grabbing beans from coffee shops I visit on the road and I definitely went back and grabbed a bag of their roasts before we left. It was that good! read more

Excellent find! Delicious coffee with a great vibe. The music was soothing and the customer service was amazing! I told the barista it was my first time in and she was extra sweet explaining the menu. I went with my traditional coffee drink of a half sweet lavender latte. Wow was it GREAT! Lots of students were studying and hanging out. This place is low key and I love that. They also sell roasted beans. Prices are reasonable. Highly recommended. read more

My husband and I were in Athens to pickup some items and wanted to look for a coffee shop. The original one we had was too complicated to find parking for so we made our way to this shop! We sure are glad we did! Parking can be hassle as well but once you make it you venture off into a beautiful coffee shop! Tons of plants, music, and great vibes! The baristas were friendly and the wait was not long at all ! I got an iced matcha and my husband got an espresso. This was an absolutely beautiful venue, and we are glad we stopped by! We will definitely be back when we are In The area. read more

1000 Faces Coffee - Vanilla Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Athens, Georgia

I love a coffee/tea spot that stays in its lane. Not trying to also be a cafe, art gallery, gift shop, or gelato spot. Simply a welcoming space to enjoy a mug of something delicious in a light filled space. Bonus that you can watch them roasting the beans on site. Cortado and Americano were perfection. read more

Great coffee and vibes. The place was full on an early Saturday afternoon but the line moved quickly. Ordered a draft latte so I was served immediately rather than having to wait for my drink to be made. The latte was smooth and delicious. Made with oatmilk and simple syrup so not too sweet and not too bitter. They had different kids if seating, a bar facing the windows, some stadium like seating, tables and chairs and a high top 2 person table. Light and airy inside. read more

One of my favorite coffee spots in downtown Athens. They handcraft their syrup flavorings and the staff is always helpful and nice!

Love this little coffee shop oh so much! Staff is always friendly and lively, and the energy just always feels welcoming and warm no matter the time of day or year. Beautifully and mindfully decorated with lots of live plants. A downtown Athens staple for sure. Grabbed myself a matcha latte on my way out, and of course added some lavender syrup to it with almond milk. It's a small space but has a some counter/bar and table seating if you come to get a little work or reading done. read more

Good coffee, a warm interior with lots of plants and natural reading light. Maybe some more comfortable seats? But that's only because people like studying and spending time here, which I think is a good problem for a coffee shop to have. Definitely a good place to spend a quiet afternoon. read more

I was really disappointed that the matcha had no flavor and really just tasted like so watered down like straight milk. Nice atmosphere and would consider trying it again for coffee read more

My favorite stop in Athens for a dog friendly, air conditioned caffeinated beverage. Dogs are allowed indoors (as of my last visit, that is) and they blast the AC (at least, on hot summer days like upcoming days ahead). But enough about the indoors. most importantly...The COFFEE. I love a specialty coffee beverage and they were offering two that day. While I do regret not trying the Garden Party (an elderflower soda/matcha), I was too intrigued by High Noon to not. Not your basic iced latte - also had juniper berry, green cardamom, rose and honey. Tbh could have also been a garden party lol. I recently had 1000 Faces a couple more times but not in Athens. They were pouring draft oat milk lattes at the Vineyard Fest at Chateau Elan and they were probably my favorite drink of the day, ngl. They also served 1000 Faces at Vortex Doughnuts in Asheville so of course I had to. One of my favorite local Georgia coffees! read more

We got a chai and it was really spicy for some reason. Also, my coffee was really not good, and i usually love all coffee. Something isn't right about this place. read more

Fave coffee shop in Athens! The coffee is consistently good, and I love the seasonal beverages. The vibe of the shop is also great -- good for hanging out and chatting with friends or for doing light work. You have to pay to park on the street in front of the shop, but it's cheaper than the rest of the paid parking in the area. read more

Five star review for 1000 Faces. Great coffee, great crew, and a great place to sit and relax in Athens, GA. I also loved the selection of music. When I walked in the first time, they had Joni Mitchell's Blue album play on their Sonos speakers. The sound was crisp and clear. read more

Beautiful cafe, loved seeing the roasters thru the window. We were disappointed to find that they don't offer all the baked goods on Sunday, and all that was offered was muffins and scones. It's helpful to know the schedule (as pictured) but we didn't see that before hand and were hoping for some savory snacks. The coffee is delicious! The scones and muffins were pretty read more

I travel all over the US and am always obsessed looking for a great cup of coffee. This is the place in Athens...great friendly counter service and a perfect vibe. I'm a cortado guy and 1000 Faces is in my top 10. They care and they know what they're doing...and they roast their own as well. Bravo...! read more

Top quality roast Latte well made . Great place to chi Highly Reccomended by a coffee addict read more

We visited 1000 Faces while vacationing, and I totally fell in love with the lattes they make! Tip: The seating options here are somewhat limited There aren't all that many breakfast items offered here, but the items we tried were outstanding!  I particularly recommend their scones and their chocolate croissant. Service is excellent, and the lattes are made with a perfect milk blend, which combined with the really strong coffee beans they use make for an outstanding cup of Java :-) read more

I heard so much about this place so I decided to stop by the last time I was in Athens! I was a little surprised that the menu was as short on selection as it was, but I don't have a problem with local businesses keeping the menu simple. I was intrigued by the 3 Porches Chai, which they said was sourced locally. I got it with oat milk, and it had a great flavor with a unique kick. The staff were kind. I do wish that the drink size was a little bigger, especially since there's so much ice. The vibes are nice inside, but partly ruined by the fact that there is no indoor seating anymore due to COVID. read more

1000 Faces Coffee - 3 Porches Chai with Oat Milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Athens, Georgia

I am visiting Athens for a week and was looking for a good cup of coffee so was looking by ratings. I found 1000 faces rated one of the highest so decided on them. I didn't go wrong. I ordered Biranu Dulo, a medium roast and found it to be an excellent cup of coffee. I plan on trying some of their other offerings in the coming days. The baristas were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend stopping in and giving them a try. read more

Decided to try a new coffee shop today! I think this is a very underrated coffee choice in Athens since it's flooded with Jittery Joes and Starbucks, but I'm glad I got to support this local business! Heads up: as cute as the inside looks, it's take out only :( Wish I would've had a chance to experience this prior to the pandemic because I'm sure it was an experience! As previous reviews said, the menu is relative minimal so I was confused as to what to order. So, I stuck with my usual: iced latte w/ oat milk and caramel added. With no extra sugar added, I'd give it an 7/10! I wish I would've added some sugar before I left to make it sweeter but it was definitely still a hit! Portion was relatively small, but not too little. I believe there is only one other size and it's smaller than the size I got. I also decided to try their scone, I believe the morning scone! I had it warmed up and it was pretty good, a little messy with the crispness and the cinnamon but good nonetheless. In terms of parking and finding the area: there is street parking available. Of course there's a meter, but since it is take out only, I feel like you can get away with running in and out. Overall, loved supporting this local coffee shop and I can't wait to come back and actually sit and take in the scenery! read more

I stopped by for a latte to go. I had the lavender flavor and it was delicious! The barista put a beautiful flower design on it and I wish I could have enjoyed it at the shop tho. The temperature and foam texture was perfect. I put the lid on, drove off and could enjoy right away as I was leaving Athens. Also I tried to call before I went because I wasn't sure they were open during UGA spring break and they did not answer the phone but have prompts. I listened to all the prompts and it seems like the only way to reach them is by email. I took a chance and still drove over there anyway. Glad I did tho! read more

In Athens for the day so what's the first thing I do when I get there? Why look for coffee Ofcourse! After scrolling through Yelp I decided on 1000 Faces of Coffee. I am a coffee snob and I take my coffee drinking very seriously and look down on people who don't drink coffee. Who are you? Why are you like this? This place is awesome You are able to see them roasting the coffee right in front of you resulting in a fresh bean and great coffee experience. I ordered a pour over because a good fresh bean will take this to another level and you will enjoy your coffee even more. Their roast was wonderfully smooth, not bitter or overpowering just strong enough and delicious to enjoy without all the extra crap like sugars, flavors, creamers etc. I enjoyed it so much I brought a bag. Now to find this stuff in Atlanta. They had some pastries but I decided not to indulge but they did look tasty maybe next time. If I'm in the area again I will definitely be back. read more

This is my favorite coffee shop in Athens! They have great cold brew as well as now they have kombucha on tap! Yesssss! They also always have the best random drinks. I tried this drink last time that was like a fancy mint mocha and it was the best fancy mint mocha iced latte that I've ever had. That's why I'm always excited to try new drinks here. The space has good vibes as well and I've always met nice baristas that really get to know you. I'm hoping that soon dine-in opens up again so I can sit and hang out here one day. It's located next to a crossfit! read more

Place isn't horrible but how do they NOT have almond milk, other than only two milk options. I don't understand how that's possible when it's a coffee shop. Definitely should have more options. No cold foam available either. Went to sips coffee and so many more options. read more

1000 Faces Coffee - Cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Athens, Georgia

There are lots of places in Athens to get coffee, but there are only two that I go: 1. 1000 Faces coffee and 2. Jittery Joes (Starbucks does not count--it's a pretentious, trendy market with below average tasting coffee.) I drink a lot of BLACK coffee. 1000 Faces Coffee sells GOOD coffee. What else do you need from a COFFEE seller? If you need an avocado -pumpkin coffee with 10 sugars and a twist of gorilla snot, then go to Starbucks. If you want a good cup of coffee--this place has it. read more

I was visiting Athens and looking for a place to do some work remotely - stumbled on to this little shop. It's in an industrial style building with some parking (very limited) in the back of the building. Inside, I dig the vibe -- they have an old-school radio playing local stations, a brewing area that you can view, and several tables/outlets for those looking to work. I ordered the white tea and it was lovely. The staff was helpful, and in general it was a good spot for what we needed. On the con side, the tables and chairs weren't the most comfortable of arrangements - and getting to the outlets was a bit of a challenge. Despite that, we tried to come back a second time and the entire shop was closed off -- so literally, we could work there one day, and then only get take out the next. Sort of odd. In general though, this seems like a cool spot to hang in Athens! read more
