I need to make more trips to Athens - there's a few well respected restaurants and bakeries I've had bookmarked for several years. Headed back home from the PawPaw Fest, we decided to stop for some lunch. ***I should buy this eatery immediately, simply based on the name, alone. If you know me, you understand!*** Fluff is till to-go only. They have a window to order, and they bring out your drinks and meals to you. I did see a sign that they are opening back up their dine-in services very soon. The menu is concise and has things to pick from, while not being overwhelming. I tried the BBQ Tofu Breakfast Burrito. It's was good - just the right amount of Carolina sauce, but I really couldn't taste much else. Yes, I'm well aware tofu doesn't have its own flavor, but takes the flavor of the dominating other ingredients, so I really need to go back and try something else on the menu. I will note: I got two of their homemade cookies, one chocolate chip and one peanut butter, but those are sitting in my freezer for another day. They LOOK very good, however. In due time, folks, in due time.

two tacos on a white plate

This is a unique placed being a sit down place to eat and also a nice little bakery. I ordered the chorizo and potato breakfast tacos and honestly they really impressed me!! I was surprised how filling and tasty they were. The taste really combined so well and I enjoyed it a lot. They were $9 which isn't super cheap but not overly expensive either! I heard it was a great place to visit while In Athens and I would agree!

Thai Rice Bowl

What a delightful surprise. My wife & I came here for lunch. We had the Thai rice bowl. The food was excellent. The pastries look fantastic (we did not order them). This is the type of coffee/bake shop you will find in Greenwich Village. We spoke to the owner who is a delightful woman & OU alumna. Why go to Starbucks or Panera when you have Fluff?

Booty-shaker Bar!     Outstanding treat with a delicious name!
Jarrod R.

Fluff. Fluff. Fluff. You know, it's kind of hard to say without smiling. And it's really hard to not love this little gem in a beautiful college town. On a weekend getaway, my wife and I ventured into Athens, Ohio and right before heading back to our cabin we decided to wait out the storm at fluff. While it was wet and gloomy outside, the decor inside (which includes whimsical cloud inspired murals) was warm and inviting. We both found the service to be quite warm, too, and helpful. We opted for a little coffee and split the delightfully named "Booty-Shaker" bar and an oatmeal fluff cookie "sammie." I must say that everything was outstanding and it makes me wish that we lived a little closer so that we might enjoy these treats (and others ) on a semi-regular basis. Many happy returns, Fluff. I agree with your slogan: "Life is fun. Eat it up."

Headed over to Fluff for lunch but even though it was lunch, we both couldn't resist some of the brunch specials. Today's specials were ricotta pancakes, biscuits n gravy, breakfast pastries, pumpkin cheesecake and silverbridge coffee. I ordered the ricotta pancakes (so yum) and my date ordered the biscuits-n-gravy. We perused the in-house sweets while waiting for our meal and sipped on a mimosa. LOVE that each mimosa came with it's only bottle which made it more like 2 drinks if you keep adding the mimosa as you go. Seriously, the mimosas were in huge glasses I felt like that was a great value although really, the only one with a really good value. Although the food is quite yummy, the prices were really high. We ordered the two specials as I said above and each got a mimosas and paid $44 PLUS tax and tip. Ouch! Especially considering they are located in the heart of OU, a lower price point might bring in more students on a budget. Before heading out, we peeked around to find they offer quite a bit of vegan baked goods which is such a treat because good vegan goodies can sometimes be hard to come by.

Atmosphere is strange with sweets, liquor and sandwiches. Went in with my mom at 2:50 (10min before their closing) and the staff was welcoming enough to let us sit and eat our salads even though they were trying to close up. Ordered 2 salads, I got the quinoa salad and my mom got a salad as well and added chicken (an extra charge). For two salads the cost was over $20 which seems a little steep to me. But, the salad was delicious and a good size.

Pie!

I don't know how to put into words how much I love Fluff. The staff is so kind and amazing. The food is a game changer. I'm a big fan of the Winter Quinoa Salad. It's HUGE - like I'm not the type of girl to get full from a salad but I got two meals out of it. It's delicious, from the greens to the fruit to the cheese to the dressing. I also love the pesto egg & cheese sandwich. Unique pesto and fluffy eggs. Get it on a cheddar biscuit, trust me! Now on to desserts.......... nobody compares to Fluff. During the school year, I'm there every Pie Day Friday for a different flavor of pie and free cup of local coffee. I deeply enjoy the almond bars, pumpkin cookies, cupcakes, and slice day cakes. Fluff is a fabulous local business and I will always think of them after I graduate!

See all

Fluff is one of the best gluten-free bakeries, hands down! The staff is always the best, too.

Went to Jackie O's tonight with a couple of friends for the first time. I ordered the Appalachian…read more It was fine, but nothing to write home about. We got cheese curds to start. One friend ordered a Caesar salad with chicken and got a fruity vinaigrette instead. Another friend ordered a burger and they forgot the bacon. A third friend asked for his burger well-done, but it came out medium, also with no bacon. When he asked the server if it looked well-done, she said she didn't know what well-done looks like. He asked if she could get a new one so he wouldn't get sick, and she said she'd check with the kitchen. No apology. It took 25 minutes for the new burger to come out, and by then we had been there for over an hour and a half. When she finally brought it out, she asked if he wanted a box to take it home. Still no bacon on the burger. Also, no apology again. Overall, not a great experience. Will not be back.

This brew pub strikes a great balance between laid-back charm and quality offerings. The atmosphere…read moreis cozy and intimate, with dim lighting that adds warmth and character to the space. The wrap-around bar gives it a welcoming, communal feel--perfect for grabbing a seat solo or catching up with friends. The beer selection is limited, but what they do have is decent, albeit a little on the heavier side. It's the kind of place where you don't need a massive tap list--just a few good options done right. What really surprised me were the wings. Locally sourced and noticeably larger than your average bar wings, they were absolutely packed with flavor--easily some of the best I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, with the perfect amount of dry rub. Worth the visit for those alone. If you're looking for a relaxed spot with great food, good beer, and a neighborhood-pub kind of feel, this place delivers.

I ordered delivery. The roasted beast Sammy, toasted with horseradish and stuff, was immense…read more Filling. And delicious. The person taking the order was very friendly and polite. It was an excellent choice.

Let me start by saying: I love Jimmy John's sandwiches. I used to work at a franchise in Columbus…read morefor nearly two years, both as an inshop and a manager, so I know this business inside and out. But this particular location on Court Street? It's a joke--and not the funny kind. I get cravings for these subs maybe two or three times a year, and without fail, there's a 50/50 chance they're out of bread. Bread. The foundation of the entire menu. How does a sandwich shop not have bread? That's like a gas station with no gas. And don't get it twisted--I'm not blaming the workers. I know what it's like behind the counter. I've put in thousands of hours at Jimmy John's and can count on one hand the number of times we ran out of bread. You know why? Because we had competent management. Managers who understood basic prep, who knew how to run a store, who didn't let the place fall apart daily. The fact that this keeps happening means one thing: the management at this location is either completely checked out or totally incompetent. You don't get to say you're "freaky fast" when customers are standing around for 30 minutes waiting on basic prep that should've been done hours earlier. At this point, walking by and not seeing a "We're out of bread" sign feels like a miracle. If I'm this frustrated only showing up a couple times a year, I can't imagine how fed up regular customers must be. The food is great--but none of that matters if the manager can't do the absolute bare minimum to keep the store functioning. Fix it.
