Stopped here because I didn't really want Starbucks (love them but wanted something different). This place is in a vacant parking lot across from a vets office. Pretty hard to miss as it's a free standing coffee stand in an empty parking lot. I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of drink options they had. They can make almost any drink blended, which was nice because I went on a warm winter day. The barista was nice enough. Wasn't overly friendly but not rude. I gave her my wife and my order and she read it back to us to verify she got it all right. Because I'm lazy and didn't do my review right away I can't tell you what drink I ordered. It was a chocolate chip something with coffee. It was pretty watery and the flavor wasn't as rich as I'd expect. The whip cream on the top was very good and thick. I believe they have a rewards program or punch card but that wasn't brought to our attention. On a better note they offer military discount and I wouldn't be surprised if they offered a student discount either. read more

The food was not delicious. My finance and I got a chicken salad croissant and bagel and it look like it was made with hate and was sup dry... shame spent a pretty penny on food that look like it came from a gas station.... Coffee is delicious would recommend but not the food. Go to PJ's coffee instead read more

You'll be in line for 30-45mins. Not sure what takes so long which is disappointing because their coffee is good but my goodness!

Muffins are soft and delicious, not too sweet, appreciate that smoothies are available at this coffee and tea place and the service was quick. Like that they serve Might Leaf loose leaf teas too. read more

Ellianos Coffee - White mocha freeze and iced Tuscan toffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Statesboro, Georgia

Coffee is great, best in Statesboro, but the store is poorly managed and they don't seem to appreciate their employees. I sat in line for 20-30 minutes, 3 vehicles left in front of me, both lines getting longer. All of the sudden the 2 front vehicles pull up to the window and drive off, then they take and complete the order for the person in front of me, then when I pull up they tell me I need to get in the other line. I told her she was putting at least 10 people in line in front of me, which is jacked up, she didn't seem to care. Since we found Ellianos, me and my family of 6 have been loyal customers (multiple trips per week), and I knew when I pulled up that I was going to be waiting for a good 45 minutes to get my coffee, but it was worth the wait. It is not worth being treated unfairly, and today they showed me that my time is not important to them. They need to learn how to better manage their store before they lose any other customers. read more

This my second time visiting. The first time I got a cookies and cream freezer, it was more cream than cookies. Should have named it cream and cookies freezer. And my breakfast sandwich seemed like it was heated up in the microwave. Def not the best. This time I got a turtle freezer, I will admit it was much better but they ran out of whip cream. Also asked for a blueberry bagel toasted with extra cream cheese. My bagel was not toasted and I only got one cream cheese not two, when I asked for extra. It was not enjoyable to eat lacked blueberry taste and gave me a stomach ache. Do yourself a favor go somewhere else! read more

Visited Ellianos for the first time during my stay in Statesboro. The young lady was friendly and kind. The drink was also delicious. I will return again. Highly recommended. read more

When I received my two breakfast sandwiches, the employee was rude and stand off ish. A moment or so later when I took a bite into my sandwich, the egg was completely frozen! I checked my friends sandwich and theirs had the same issue. The food was obviously not warmed all the way through and it was a really chill morning so they had no reason to rush my order. read more

I've came here since they first opened and I've always had great experiences! The staff there are always so friendly and knowledgeable. They always give me great recommendations. I would highly recommend you trying it out here if you haven't already done so. read more

Ellianos Coffee - a hand holding a cup of coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Statesboro, Georgia

I give Ellianos Coffee Company three stars. It's fine. This is a double-sided drive-thru coffee shop inspired by the drive-thru coffee shops of the Pacific Northwest. It's part of a regional chain with locations primarily in southern Georgia and northern Florida, mostly in small cities like Statesboro. An Ellianos opened where I live in Atlanta, in 2011, but it didn't last long. This one in Statesboro opened in 2012. You can find this small coffee shop in the parking lot of the Gentilly Square Shopping Center, next to Firehouse Subs, not far from Statesboro Mall and Walmart. The shopping center, which has a huge parking lot, is barren. There's no indoor seating, but there is outdoor seating in a small, fenced-in area in front of the store facing the road. There are a few round tables (two with umbrellas) and a picnic table. The patio has some plants and the fence is decorated with string lighting. The building itself looks nice from the outside with a part-stone facade, faux columns, and covered drive-thru windows. Most of Ellianos' drinks come in small, medium, and large sizes. The standard menu features eight espresso-based drinks (from $1.75 for a small espresso shot to $4.85 for a large white mocha or Carmella), standard coffees like a house brew, iced coffee, or cold brew ($1.90-3.70 each), latte "freezers" in almost a dozen different flavors (e.g. white mocha, vanilla, cookies & cream, and spiced chai; $3.85-5.25), smoothies ($3.85-6.15), and other beverages like hot chocolate, caramel apple cider, and "gourmet" tea ($2.00-4.50). The special menu includes signature creations like Tuscany toffee (toffee latte drizzled with caramel sauce) and Milan mint mocha (peppermint and dark chocolate) along with seasonal items. When we visited, these included pecan pie latte and creme de menthe (mint) mocha. Yum. Along with drinks, there's a limited food selection consisting of stuff like cookies ($2.50 each), muffins (three flavors; $2.45 each), breakfast croissants/bagels (three kinds, $3.85 each), and chocolate-covered espresso beans by the pound ($5 for 1/4 pound to $20 for 1 pound). We ordered two small iced Carmellas ($3.85 each) and a small Americano ($2.25) and they were OK. The Carmella is a vanilla and caramel-flavored latte. It was rich, very sweet, and had good caramel flavor. If I ordered it again, I would probably ask them to lighten up on the sugar/syrup. The Americano was standard. It was hot and tasty enough. Compared to the other cafes I've tried in Statesboro (Starbucks outside of Statesboro Mall and Three Tree Coffee Roasters), Ellianos' coffee has been the least impressive to me in terms of taste and quality. Don't get me wrong though - this place isn't bad; I've just had better experiences at the other places. The double-sided drive-thru is definitely convenient and a plus. We sat on the patio and our drinks were brought out to us. The patio was clean. We enjoyed sitting there; however, we also had to occasionally breathe in exhaust from the cars in line at the drive-thru. That wasn't fun. Service was great. The barista who took our order and brought our drinks out to us was friendly. read more

I usually love going there, but today was not so great. I went and got a small white mocha freezer and headed home. I got about 20 minutes away when I felt two little pieces of clear plastic in my mouth. I had drank about 1/5th of the drink at this point but I looked on the outside of the drink and didn't see anything. I stopped drinking it anyways just in case there was more and boy was there! I got home which is about 40 minutes away and started draining it and the more I drained the more concerned I got. Now I'm concerned about how much plastic and rubber?? I accidentally drank just thinking it was the ice. I called and they offered to remake it but I'm not driving back 40 minutes for a small coffee. I just wanted my $5 back and maybe for them to look at their machines because has to be messed up with this amount of plastic. Probably won't be back after this read more

Great, quick coffee breakfast spot! They Lao have breakfast sandwiches and muffins! Great morning stop

The sign says close at 7. At 6:30, we pull up. The two female employees are on the floor hiding from sight. After one is seen, she opens the window. We order. The lazy girls can't make it because they've already cleaned the machine. They're still open for 30 minutes!! So they lost a $30 sale. And I'll never be back. Lazy ass employees will ruin your business!! read more

Great find while I was in statesboro. Best coffee I have had in a while. I will be back

If their workers didn't talk and gossip so much while working, I'd probably get my coffee a lot quicker. It shouldn't take 20 mins to get coffee every time I'm here. Once I Dan find something similar to the Sunrise Bomber I will never come here again. So irritating!! read more

So this is my first time trying Ellianos. I needed a good coffee and Starbucks was closed so I decided to swing by and see if they were open, which they were! They said they could make just about anything, so I showed them the picture and recipe for the Caramel Cloud Macchiato that I like. Holy cow! They did a fantastic job. Better than the one I usually order down the street. It is a perfect blend of strong, rich coffee, and the creaminess and sweetness of the caramel and foam. Best yet, the price was super affordable, about the same as down the street. I just might be a convert now. read more

I hate the long line but the wait is worth it. It's the best coffee in statesboro especially if you're just starting to drink coffee

I literally used to drive an hour for this place when I was living in Georgia almost once a week at the very least. I'm excited to move back in June because I know this will be one of my first stops read more

I love this coffee shop. My boyfriend and I practically stop here daily. The folks there have our orders memorized which makes our stops a breeze. They're always friendly, even when there's a huge line! They're pretty quick and worth the wait. You won't get Starbucks here! I love coffee shops like this one! Please stop and visit! You won't be disappointed! :) read more

I've been here a handful of times and they have always been amazing. Today my fiancé and I went through bought two coffees and two sandwiches for 16$ we left a $1 tip just because. We received our drinks and the lady forgot that I said no whip cream. My fiancé asked if I wanted to say anything I said no it's fine. I really am not the type to be fussy but we paid $3.99 a piece for our sandwiches and they were both like the picture. They were so burnt that mine and his was hard and crumbling. I will not be back for a little while. I hate this because I am always a big advocate for local business. But who can afford to spend $16 on breakfast that you can't eat. My only reason for posting is so the owner can know. I don't know him personally but I know when I managed a store you don't always know what's going on when you're not there and I'm sure by the quality I've had before he wouldn't be okay with these results in the picture. read more

Not a really big fan of their coffee. But when you're craving something chocolate-y and sweet, the turtle freezer totally hits the spot! read more

Ellianos Coffee - Turtle freezer - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Statesboro, Georgia

I absolutely love Ellianos Coffee. Seriously my favorite place to get a drink, but the wait time lately has been very frustrating. I feel as though there should be enough people working to handle the two windows they have especially on weekends. It is also very frustrating when I have been sitting in line for 10 min already and they come and move the cone and ask us to pull around to the next window but by the time I do that there is another car that swoops in in front of me and all the others that were waiting. Really need to figure out how better to run their windows. read more

In the past we had been happy with Ellianos for the coffee. However the last 3 trips there were quite disappointing. I had bought a latte and a pound of coffee. Got home (170 miles away) and found out they shorted me four ounces. Since I was so far away I let it go. Then a few weeks ago my wife and I were on our way home from Savannah and detoured to Statesboro to drop some things off for our son. Ran to Ellianos 10 minutes before closing and were told they weren't serving any more hot drinks or specialty drinks. Only iced coffee(basically whatever was left in the pot over ice). And finally 2 weeks ago, on a trip to see our son stopped in again on the way home for a latte, freezer drink and a pound of coffee. Got home and sure enough they shorted me again. At this point I was a bit angry. Called the store and the kid who answered said they never sell a pound of coffee ????? It says 1 pound on the bag. Asked to speak to the manager and was told he'd be in the store in the morning. Called and asked for the manager, Tim Bishop and was told he wasn't in. Left a message and no call back. Called the n cut again and no call back. Did this 2 more times and still no return call. Don't know what's going on, but don't buy a pound of coffee unless you bring a scale and make sure you don't want anything specialty anytime near closing. Very disappointed in the service. read more

Ellianos gives you a different varieties of stuff. I like them actually better than Starbucks I went there and got a energy drink and it became one of my favorite drinks I would highly recommend anyone who like Starbucks to go there because they'll probably become their favorite! read more

In the past I have been very happy with Ellianos coffee but the last three times I have gone, it has been subpar. I order a caramel iced coffee every time. Very simple. Recently, it hasn't been to my taste and there is not enough ice so my cold coffee is lukewarm. My barista did not ask if I wanted creme or sugar so I had to ask and I always ask for it to be on the sweeter side. It has not been sweet nor cold. The barista also was wearing a see through shirt this afternoon which made for an awkward food and beverage experience for me and my boyfriend. I did not catch her name but she seemed to look Asian American. Just make iced coffee cold and wear a bra. Thanks! read more

AMAZING Coffee! Seriously the best I have ever had and I ran my own coffee shop for years! My family prefers it over Starbucks! They have a southern Pecan house coffee that is delicious and if you like frozen style coffee then the caramel freezer is a must!! OMG it's better than S**! And my kids love the shaved ice too! If your in town it's absolutely worth the stop you won't be sorry! read more

This place is better than Starbucks in my opinion. I get the caramel freezer with extra caramel drizzle and it is the best way to start my morning. The staff is really friendly and helpful and they also have a rewards program read more
