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!

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.

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!

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.

I had an early appointment at Piedmont cardiology this morning. Since I am definitely not a morning…read moreperson I felt like a cup of good coffee would be a great idea. There's a little coffee shop right across from the hospital, so I decided to drop in there and give them a try. The young man working the counter was very helpful discussing the menu. I don't know much about different kinds of coffees so I always have to ask about them before I order. I opted for a medium latte with sugar-free vanilla syrup. I was glad they had the sugar-free vanilla as many coffee shops that I've gone to were always out of it. I guess it's a popular flavor. Sips had quite a few in-house baked sweets. There were so many yummy looking options; it was hard to choose. The young man recommended the zucchini bread; said it was probably the most popular thing they offered. I ended up buying myself a lemon blackberry scone to have with my coffee plus a fat slice of zucchini bread and an apple scone to take home. Sips has a covered patio out front and another patio on the side. They don't really have indoor seating although the covered patio out front could be enclosed in the winter for a seating area. I sat outside and enjoyed the morning sun with my scone and my coffee. The coffee was delicious and the scone was wonderful. I don't get out this way all that often, but when I do, I'm going to stop at Sips again. They have good stuff.

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.

Though, is paying attention to what your customers like. Apparently they have made a decision to no longer serve coffee in mugs. I always had ordered mine in a mug when sipping in the store. I just don't like the feel of a paper cup, and coffee tastes better in a ceramic mug. When I inquired the manager on duty informed me that "we don't serve mugs." Well, you used to. You might want to take note that Starbucks has now started. Don't let them be more responsive than you!

Definitely one of the better study spots I've been to in Athens! It was moderately quiet and had…read moretons of open seats. I surprisingly got a lot of work done here. I ordered an iced caramel latte, it was good but very very coffee heavy. Usually lattes tend to be sweeter and creamier, but this one was kind of bitter. However, it did make me jittery and allowed me to get a lot of work done so that was a job well done. I also tried the dirty chai latte and it basically just tasted like coffee with nutmeg and a hint of cardamom. The coffees were alright and were the typical price of coffee nowadays ($5-6). The servers were sweet and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a study spot with some fuel! Will be back soon!!
