What a cool place and the coffee lives up to the vibe, too. Win win!…read more 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!

Hendershot's Coffee is a unique place. What makes it unique?…read more * In addition to serving coffee along with some food items, it's full bar and has all of your booze groups covered. * It hosts live music, and not just a guy or gal playing an acoustic guitar. We want for a comedy show that was great. One of the nice things about Hendershot's is in my limited experience the shows start at 7:00 p.m., which means it's totally doable on a "school night." My suspicion is it is townie's place. When we went, I did not see any UGA kids. In other words, it's a place for grown ups for the most part. Pro-tip: Get there early for an evening show. Parking can be a challenge with three great restaurants more or less adjacent, and the best seats for shows fill up fast. Cheers!

There might be a little bias options here since this joint is owned by his really good friend's granddaughter. But the fact it's local, I'm going to support it. Walking up, the espresso machine and register was set up outside. There's some remodeling going on so I didn't get the opportunity to see what the venue looks like inside. But outside is quite cute. I love the flowers surrounding the outside patio. A handful of sweet baristas were working. They all greeted us! I checked out the summer menu to see what kind of cool drinks they had. I got a vanilla oat milk matcha latte. My husband got a summer drink of the menu. It was a sparkling strawberry lemonade. My husband's lemonade was so good! I appreciate that real strawberry puree was used. It was sweet, tangy and bubbly! It was quite refreshing for a sweet drink. My matcha was balanced! There was a good amount of matcha to oat milk. I didn't quite taste the vanilla as much as I would have liked to. I did add some sugar to it when we stopped at the Waffle House. It tasted much better once the sugar was added. I'm already going to plan on coming back when we visit Athens again next year. I look forward to seeing the new remodel. And I look forward to potentially meeting the famous Molly that my father in law speaks ok. I enjoyed my matcha and it's great that I got to support a local joint while I was here.

I suppose all Starbucks locations have "regulars." I happen to be one here. I've even been…read moreintroduced as such by one employee training another. The interesting thing about coming here at all hours of the day is that I get to see all of the other regulars. In fact, somedays I like to play "Regulars Bingo" to see if I can spot them all. There's Asian studies guy. I'm pretty sure he's a UGA professor who meets all of his students here instead of going to campus. Took me a while to figure that out, though. When I first started coming here, he had a different nickname to match what appeared to be creepy behavior. I feel bad, though. He's legit. There's also cocktail dress lady who shows up two or three times a day. At first I thought she was ordering drinks for an office, but I think it's always just for her. At least one of them is always a large water. I'll bet her gold member account expiration date says "Armageddon." Next we have Art Deco. He's actually a really talented artist, and that's not his style, but he's here all the time, drawing with markers or just surfing the web. I'm not convinced he always buys a drink, but his drawings of college mascots always seem to please the customers in the lobby. We also can't forget about poindexter. He's a pudgy, nerdy guy who always comes in and stays for hours at a time. This guy is a mid-30s grad student who clearly is mooching off of the taxpayer dollar somehow. He also only orders an iced coffee and then gets his free refills using his membership card. I guess he's not ripping the store off, though, since he pays $2.50 for the first one and even after drinking 3 refills has only consumed about ten cents worth of product. Still, he's always chomping on ice. Everyone could do without that. The best regulars at this Starbucks, though, are the baristas. They are constantly smiling and polite, even when they are slammed. They always do what they can to make your order right and they learn your name. It's a small touch that goes a long way. Best of all, they always treat me well, no matter how many iced coffee refills I order.

It's a spot for night owls also, I hear they have bands. I really like that they have an enormous map of the world on one wall. The decor is classic coffee shop chic, retro and eclectic. Spacious too. It's in a neighborhood, so it's perfect for me to walk over on a Saturday or Sunday morning.

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.

They have more drinks than coffee - smoothies and such. If you have the little ones with you, you may be interested in knowing about the ice cream shop next door. It looks like a winner, too.
