Best London Fog in Athens, and believe me, we have tried them all! And what an amazing atmosphere to feel the joys of drinking your coffee or your tea. Beautiful place!!
Cutest coffee shop in Athens. The staff is super friendly in a way you don't see often; you feel like they actually care about the interaction. The coffee is great and crazy inexpensive. When I went the other day, there were incredible homemade (!) pastries that were only $1.50 (!!!).
My favorite coffee shop in Athens! They really have the best quality espresso and matcha.. and I have been to just about every coffee shop in Georgia. Not only that but their service is also next level. Lizzie and Mark are awesome!
I've been looking for a place for some time to go have a delicious cup of coffee and read my books, and I think I found it, it's a super comfortable place, the service was excellent, and believe me when I tell you that you're going to find something even more special than the coffee ;)

Today was my first time going, and I was greeted kindly by the staff. The iced latte was great ($4) and I got a slice of their homemade pumpkin dessert— a pumpkin loaf with cream cheese(?) ($1.50)! I got an adorable cat drawing (it seems like their mascot?) on my drink, which was a cute touch! Prices are student friendly …
This is a wonderful little place! The workers ensure top quality drinks with attention to detail. I thoroughly enjoyed the cat drawn on my strawberry matcha, so cute! Inside is a unique layout of mixed and matched furniture with plenty of board games and puzzles! Great experience overall, highly recommend!
I have been here twice already while home visiting and it is by far one of the top places I have tried. I live in the DMV and this is better than the majority of those (I have tried tons in 4 years). The prices are great, quality is very good, and the staff is extremely friendly. I have gotten …
