“Friendly service and delicious burgers / fries! I took a star off because the pricing is absolutely absurd. I’m surprised a quick FICO score check isn’t required before payment. $50 incl a 20% tip for two burgers (no premium toppings btw), 1 fry, and two drinks is WILD. If I’m paying for high cholesterol and heart disease, I can do that more cost-effectively elsewhere.“

“Just great and so happy we found this gem in Athens. There are not a lot of 'nice' places to eat in the downtown area, but this was a very pleasant surprise. We had a few drinks, ate the whole left side of the menu, and had all three of the dessert options from that night and loved all of it. Seating at the bar was nice, and the service was quick, friendly, and informative. If we're ever back in the area, I'll certainly go back here.“

There's one worker, I wish I could remember her name(wears glasses), she gave me a recommendation and it was delicious as well as energizing. I also love their bagels, my go to is an Asiago with egg and cheese. You can also rack up points with every purchase and they have an app you can order ahead. Highly recommend!“

“My friend and I have been visiting every cafe in Athens to determine what is the best weekend study spot. Molly's Coffee Company is our favorite so far. I loved the pleasing atmosphere and decor. It is light in color and calming. I appreciate the plants and lighting. The cafe is quiet and has many tables for studying. They even have some charging for laptops, phones, iPads etc if you sit in a booth. We went on a Sunday in the late afternoon and the cafe was quite busy, but calm and we were able to get a table. I had the chai and the raspberry chocolate scone. Most people were studying or working in the cafe so the atmosphere was not distracting. They also have outside tables for when the weather is nice. I also like that the cafe is in a quieter part of town so it doesn't feel hectic. I hope to come back again!“

“Starting off, the food was very good. I had a breakfast burrito with added sausage and it was killer. The portions were also pretty large which was good. We also had the pumpkin muffin which was also very good. The service was good as well, we had to wait a little bit because she was on the phone but other than that she was very nice and even help us change an order we needed. The overall interior was very cute, a converted house to the restaurant. Had a great experience, only downside was the price. For two people we spent about 40 dollars, which is honestly fine for what we got.“

Also, this reviewer didn’t have anything to drink or anything to eat… why would you review?I’m just trying to stand up for the Mom & Pop Coffee Shops out here. Shut up, Will.“

150 Fritz Mar Ln, Athens

“My friends scheduled a coffee tasting for my birthday this month and it was such a fun group experience. One of their friendly and knowledgeable staff members guides your group through tasting several coffees without revealing what they are, and it's so fun to try to identify the notes with your friends. At the end they reveal what all the coffees were, and I found a new favorite coffee this way. Charlie even gave me a delicious jar of local Kuhlbee Honey as a birthday gift and I put it on everything now.After tasting, there are used books and local art to browse or buy while you enjoy a cup of your favorite - you won't feel rushed out the door. I will definitely be scheduling another tasting in the future, and I recommend this activity for any small group of coffee drinkers.“

The team at this location consistently have been amazing and soooo personable each time as well! On top of the fact I made the transition to going to Jittery Joe’s, my wallet has been thanking me because their prices actually make sense and I don’t feel like I have to take out a second mortgage on my home. Thanks for being awesome!“

I still go there pretty much every day and the espresso Paul makes is my favorite I've ever had. It's basically become a part of my routine. I can't recommend this place enough, especially early in the morning. Many thanks.“

There was basically no ice cream, just 2 shots of espresso. Other than that, their sandwiches are very tasty and the environment is ambient and beautifully decorated.
