“Elliano’s on Friday mornings is the kickstart to my weekend. From the cheerful attitudes of the baristas to the very last sip in my cup, every visit is a joyful experience of the most soulful kind. While my go-to drink is a hot Dirty Chai Latte, all that I have tasted are top-notch quality, and the pastries and sandwiches are yummmmm! If you have not yet visited Elliano’s of Athens, do yourself a favor and just drop everything and go. It’s worth the drive, it’s worth your time, and your tastebuds will name a day of appreciation in your honor. Ask me how I know. 😉“

Not only was the coffee and environment superb, but the barista (sorry I don’t remember his name) was sooo friendly! He made every customer feel welcome and at home. My oldest said he’s a real life Luke Danes (Gilmore girls reference if you didn’t know). I can’t wait to return to Covington just to spend more time in this little slice of paradise 🖤“
