I did today and completely switched up my usual order. What's normally two scoops of my go-to turned into a new favorite...Churro-licious. Service was quick and friendly, which is always appreciated when you're coming in with a group. Great treats, great people, and a great way to celebrate a big milestone. We'll definitely be back!

Lots and tons of options for you to choose from. I need up getting a double scoop of cookie dough and got chocolate chip and cookies and cream. I didn't realize how big the scoops were gonna be!!!

Always a staple and reliable boba place. Went back recently and ordered the brown sugar milk tea…read morewith boba and it was so delicious. You can honestly never go wrong with brown sugar as a flavor. I also tried the passion fruit milk tea with star fruit jelly. Definitely a new favorite, I was reluctant to try a fruit milk flavor but it was surprisingly refreshing! The caramel Hokkaido black milk tea was super yummy too and more dessert-like. You can't go wrong with any flavor here! Prices and sizes are fair and workers are super sweet.

I try to choose good places. The Rook and Pawn did not disappoint…read more I wanted to try a Monte Cristo sandwich; the Rook and Pawn has it, so off I went. It was excellent as was the side salad I ordered to go with it. Service wise, you order at the counter, and they bring your food to your table when it's ready. It works. I washed mine down with iced tea as one does. It's a nice space. Cheers!

I had an absolute blast at Rook & Pawn. Out of all the game board cafes I have been to, this one…read morehad the best vibe. It was so cozy and they had a huge wall of game boards, it was fun to look at and choose games from. I definitely felt like a kid again here. We came here on a football game day, and it was empty as everybody was out watching the game. Which was fine because more game options for us! I'm not sure how busy it gets, but there are lots of tables for seating. There is a $7 charge for each person playing. We spent about 2 hours here and played 3 different games. It is so easy to lose track of time here. I definitely could have stayed longer and tried out more games, but we had to leave as it was getting late. The workers here are very friendly and welcoming. They give great game recommendations! You'll need to ask them to grab the games for you, as the board games can be difficult to get to and they are set a certain way.

Absolutely delicious with excellent service. We arrived after dinner and took a moment to review…read morethe creative flavors. The staff was incredibly patient and encouraged us to try things to get an idea of what we might like. I went with a crisp, fresh waffle cone with Root Beer Float and Double Dough.

When we went the line was out the door as the customer area is tiny inside but it adds to the ambiance. We tried two pastries, can't recall the exact names - a peach and almond danish and a cinnamon bun. The peach danish but flaky and buttery. The peach flavor could have been a bit stronger but the danish was well made. The cinnamon bun was just live a cinnamon roll center without the icing but the custard in the middle was delicious. Excited to go back and get a load of bread. Prices were as expected.

My visit was during the morning rush so there was a line to order but aside from it allowing me more time to choose my breakfast treats, I was also able to watch the baker pulling out fresh bread from the oven. It's truly a working bakery. The blue and white exterior is very eye catching as you arrive in the area and the warm natural color tones inside the bakery are soothing and elegant. The staff who took my order, as well as the one who made my coffee order, were very friendly and calm, despite having a decent line of eager customers hoping what they wanted wasn't taken by the customers before them. Tight quarters inside so not really a place to sit and savor your selections but they do have seating outside, in a patio area next door. If you purchase loaves of bread, you are able to have it sliced! I'm looking forward to trying the bread next time I'm in town. Definitely add this place to your next visit to Athens!
