There is a good handful of locations, which helps me a lot as an older graduate student! Importantly, they do NOT add sweetener to their matcha powder, so I can choose whether or not to add a little Sugar in the Raw. I've never had a medium or strong brew or iced coffee (or matcha latte) there I didn't love the taste of. I've never been anything but comfortably cheered by interacting with the impressive, smart, truly friendly folks working there. I love how they keep several non-dairy milk options on hand (oat, coconut, almond...) and how they really foam up their lattes well. They sell fairly fancy baked goods plus reduced cost, still yummy, one-day-old muffins. The on-campus locations sell many types of good quality sandwiches, yogurt cups, and other smaller meal options. The Jittery Joe's at the Five Points area of Athens has the greatest coffee shop atmosphere you could ask for, softer conversations going on, not at all loud, plenty of seating indoors & out, and a beautiful old wood floor. Parking there is limited, however. ***My husband loves the Jittery Joe's baseball cap I gave him: high quality, from the sturdy gray cotton fabric to the ample brim and good fit! I saw they have tee shirts, too.
We needed a coffee fix before jumping on MARTA to head back to the airport. There were no caribou or Starbucks on our walk, but there was a Jittery Joe's. It is located in the lobby of the Ritz Hotel, which is a dimly lit and almost cavelike. The coffee at Jittery Joe's is worth seeking it out. Their menu is limited, but if you ask for something different, they are very kind about making it. The pastries are fresh and tasty also.
It was really late and near closing when we went in. The young man behind the counter was very kind to fix our three lattes. He could've done like another place I had gone to and said sorry we're closed but he didn't. Thank you very much. I recommend coming here. Hope to come back one day.
My dirty chai was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend
Awesome little hidden expresso bar with all kinda little extra aminaties
Nice coffee shop with lots of seating and a nice bench in the back. love the ambiance of the place you could really feel relaxed! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.
Jittery Joes has a very small counter inside the Ritz-Carlton lobby, which is convenient if you miss Athens and need your JJ fix. It's a little hard to spot when you come in and there's not a lot of options on the menu, but it's quaint and cute. You can get coffee by the cup or take home a can, plus they'll give you a sticker!
I am from Athens, where JJ was started. Seeing one in ATL made me very happy. The coffee is still exceptional and the verity of other drinks keep you coming back for more.
Pretty basic coffee, but good.
Had strong coffee tasted really good would highly recommend
