Sunroof Coffee Coffee Shops • $
175 Tracy St K5, Athens

“Writing reviews when I have been once is tough, but I like to share when I go to new places that hit the mark. I have wanted to go here, but was waiting for a down time day. While this is not something I can go to on the way to work, I wish I could. Such a cute local option for cafe drinks. I did not have a food item, but they gave three or so options from Independent Bakery. The Food star is for the cappuccino I had. I enjoyed it. Had great bittersweet notes. I believe everything is in a to go cup because I got one; do I wish I got a cool mug so the paper did not transfer to the flavor? Sure, but this place is small, so having to wash items would be hard. I like coffee usually hot, not iced. I know everyone is trending to cold. Sunroof has lots of iced drink options along with hot. Menu was easy to understand. Cannot wait to try other drinks like hot matcha or maybe even the shaken espresso that is ❄- I could venture out. Ambiance is super relaxed. There are spots to sit outside. Feels nice under the awning. There are also little shops there that seem to be pretty cool. Nice Mill District Vibe. Dog friendly was a plus.“

He was so friendly, wished me a happy birthday, and went out of his way to add items that we had not previously ordered even though we were already at the window. The kids noticed that there were unicorn cake pops and really wanted those!!! He was so friendly and helpful about everything, that's unusual at drive- thrus these days, I only wish I had noticed his name so that I could give him props“

“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 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.“
