“Love Choco Pronto! Cozy vibes, welcoming and entertaining personalities behind the counter, major attention to coffee quality and details, cycling-adjacent. All the makings of a great community coffee place that really stands out.“

“Called Sips because I’d never been there before & the sweet girl who answered talked me through what drink I might like! She was so helpful & nice! 100/10 service & coffee!!!“

“Dear Facebook, This page is hacked. Please return to Seth Hendershot.“

“I have never heard of this place, but I saw it while i was at the red light, looking for anyplace with breakfast still being served at 1040a. Quickly pulled up the menu glanced, saw food and pulled straight in.
Not a location easy to get in and out of, but absolutely worth the minor battle with traffic getting back out of there.
I got the ham, egg and Swiss croissant, a donut and their fizzy energy drink in mango peach I believe. *No basic sodas, the guy in the speaker said they have Italian sodas. Its sparkling water with a flavored syrup. I was skeptical but open to trying..they are really yummy!! And it gives a boost of energy.
My croissant was piping hot (may have had a little lip burn bc I was impatient to feed my face) and so amazing!! The croissant was firm. Not hard or soggy!! It was perfect!! I wish I had read the menu more thoroughly before ordering bc i think I would have enjoyed a bagel just as well...but it gives me a good reason to come back another day.
I have never heard of this place before today and I am so glad to have made the discovery. Yall nailed it!!“

“This was my go to coffee spot when I was in Athens last week. Great service, beautifully decorated, and the lattes were tasty.“

“We got the ham, egg and cheese croissant and it was delicious. I got the gingerbread and banana latte, which was a unique combination but was surprisingly good. My husband got the creme brulee lattee, which hit, too. Service was quick, but the school was out for Christmas break so they weren't as busy. Parking is scarce but we parked in the street behind the bottle works, which was a short walk.“

“I don't often write reviews, but the people who work here are just so nice. They make a point to remember your name if you come more than once (they knew mine by my third visit) and are always going out of their way to be pleasant and friendly. I work in a building nearby so I drop by VERY regularly, and I've had nothing but positive encounters with everyone who works here; my coworkers say the same.“

“BEST coffee ever! Tried it for the first time a few days ago, and I’m hooked!“

“I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this place and was very pleased with how friendly the barista was. I’ve been on a hunt for masala chai made in house, and this place was the closest to it I’ve found, using a concentrate instead of a sugary powder with no spice. My drink was lukewarm, which was a little disappointing, but it wasn’t unbearable and was the best-tasting chai latte I’ve had in town so far.

Parking was a bit of a hassle to find, but it was doable.“

“I’ve been coming here recently a good bit in the mornings. This Starbucks store may be one of the best around. The workers here are absolutely fantastic. They always act as if they are delighted to see you. They act as if they are delighted to be at work, but not annoyingly so. They always seem very genuine. Even with long lines in the drive-through, they work very expeditiously to get you through quickly. It is refreshing to see this kind of customer service!“

“My first time and I was SO impressed! Great customer service and clean store. Will definitely be going back!“

“Love each and every Dunkin Doughnuts and the customer service“

“Love the seasonal hot lattes, my favorite and hubby’s favorite is the pumpkin spice latte and white chocolate mocha. Another of my favorites is the peppermint chocolate 😋😋😋😋“

“Real kind crew working here. Ordered an item that they were out of and recommended me another similar item. Additionally, they offered to throw in a free pastry out of our kindness. Cashier was very friendly as well. Would give more stars if I could.“

“We love this spot! What a great addition to the Athens food scene. The bahn mi sandwiches taste just like we ordered them in Hanoi and the fresh spring rolls are a must have!

We’ve been here twice now and both times the food was a hit! We’ll keep coming back for a delicious and affordable meal!“

“My wife and I stopped by on our way to Tybee Island and it is absolutely amazing food! Wish we had this back home!! Very impressed 😊😊“

“Delicious offerings every day and wonderful seasonal treats, too. Thank you for being such a wonderful addition to our community.“

“I get Starbucks all the time from all over between Vinings, Braselton, Covington, Savannah… my point is I’ve been to so many Starbucks locations and this is by far the most pleasant experience I’ve had as far as ordering efficiency, time spent waiting, and staff attitude. Whoever runs this store has happy staff and it shows. Thank you!“

“We went to the downtown Athens location, everything is great …!“

“A great place to eat or order out. The food is delicious--both comfort food as well unique, exotic combinations. Chef Tim's use of certain spices makes Dondero's take on some dishes so different and so crave worthy. The people who work here are also just good folks--they deserve our patronage. Try em---you'll come back.“

“I worked outside in the rain today and was cold and wet for my ride home; so, I decided to grab a hot chocolate to warm up.

As I was paying at the drive through, I dropped my card wallet right into a puddle of water, and all of the contents popped out.

The young man at the window immediately handed me a bunch of napkins so that I could dry my stuff.

I didn't catch his name, but his act of kindness was appreciated.“
