    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Yesterday, I needed to run to Athens from Ripley WV for an errand and my son said HEY since we…read morehave a little extra time, can we try McHappys Bake Shoppe? I said "Of Course!!" Thinking to myself, what woman is gonna turn down Donuts??? My 2yr old grandbaby starts chanting Donuts Donuts with her Uncle...40 yr old Uncle We get to McHappys which is very easy to locate, thanks to the signage for directions. Its a cute little brown building with a very eye-pleasing Logo Sign. We go inside (tiny parking lot also) but they do offer a drive-thru! Calliope my 2yr old, her eyes get wide and glassy as her Uncle takes her closer to the showcase. The employee was super friendly! My immediate thought was, this room is bright cheery and smells like Bakery Heaven...I could live here!! I tell her we want 6 Donuts and Calliope chooses first a Cake Donut with Pink Strawberry Icing with Pink & White Sprinkles, I choose 2 Glazed and A chocolate Nut Icing Glazed for my Hubby and my son Chooses a Glaze and for his 2nd a Blueberry Cake Glazed Donut! I was tempted to get a few cookies, whooping Pies and Cupcakes because everything looked so yummy and festive! But I did choose a Canoli and a piece of Baklava! In total it was $19.02 and I left her a tip of $3 in her tip glass! I definitely recommend if you are in the Athens area to swing by. Its located beside Taco John's which we plan on trying next time we are in Athens, Ohio. Thanks for the Yummy Treats McHappys we definitely left very MCHAPPY!!!

    We were visiting the area for Thanksgiving - this one popped up with some good reviews…read more The building is unassuming, but the inside is cute! Place is bright and clean. The lady working had wonderful customer service. She was very helpful and cheerful when she found out we are new to this shop. We went home with half dozen, muffin and a canoli. She said everything is baked from their bakery and shipped to store. Their donuts are good, fluffy and moist.. all providing a mouth feel and not...dry and sad like a lot of places. My husband loved the canoli. I would highly recommend! Limited variety compared to some, but they are good with that they do have!

    Pretty good! Didn't blow my mind but was a nice spot to get some breakfast while visiting Athens…read more The savory food was okay. Expensive ($16 for toast with cheese and mushrooms) and underwhelming but not bad by any means, and $9 for a bagel with egg and cheese. We got the caprini toast and it didn't have the micro greens as it says on the menu, but no biggie. The bagel with egg and cheese was very bland, and it is a square of scrambled egg, not a fried egg. The baked goods were fantastic! The sticky date cake is crazy good! It weighs a million pounds and is so thick and just the perfect texture. We also got the lemon yogurt cookie which was soft and tangy, 10/10. They have a cool little retail space for various alcohols, non-alcoholic beverages, food, tea etc. I was happy to buy some local loose leaf tea, and there were a ton to choose from! Service was fine. The person who took our order was friendly, the food took a lot longer than expected but we had time to kill so it didn't bother us. I'd go back if I visit Athens again, I'd love to try the soup!

    pretty good! the coffee is a good strength, but even adding sweetener was still a bit too bitter…read morefor me. i had a pistachio croissant that was super good, but all pretty overpriced in my opinion. i get that it's a small local place, but at that price i'm going to donkey every time. or brenens for pastries. however it's a good vibe inside and the people are super nice!
