Starbucks - Athens

That's a great dieucks at did. Remember that it is a bit more expensive than a regular dieucks, because of what I suspect is university markup. the coffee is always good!

There's only two reasons someone would come here for coffee: it's convenient and it's familiar. Convenient You either already have the app downloaded on your phone with a preloaded balance, or you have many $5.00 gift cards from Christmas that you need to use up. No need to charge a credit card or open up your wallet for dollar bills. For many UGA students, they make it even easier and allow you to utilize Bulldog Bucks and Paw Points. Familiar It's a global chain and the experience is nearly uniform everywhere you go. You can pick up a Frappuccino or Caramel Macchiato and trust that it will be the same coffee as their locations in Seattle, or San Antonio, or Savannah. Only major downside is that like many other campus Starbucks and licensed stores, you won't be able to redeem stars or use any rewards, including the birthday one. Seating is plentiful; there's tables in front of the store, behind the counter towards the window, and all over Tate Student Center. If you're looking for coffee shop alternatives on campus, you have to try Jittery Joe's on the second floor of the Miller Learning Center, the Law Library, or the Science Library.

I occasionally come here to do my homework since I don't have my own workspace at home. Sometimes I just need to get out and focus on my work. I've tried other places, but this one has become my favorite. Everyone here is so friendly and welcoming; it feels like a community. If I had the means, I would give all the staff generous bonuses because I truly appreciate the wonderful environment they've created. Thank you, and please consider giving them a raise!

This is a stunning place with wonderful people! The Strawberry Acai lemonade is the best drink!

The website indicated that the restaurant was open, but when I arrived, I found out they wouldn't be opening for several more hours. There's no excuse for the inaccurate hours listed online!
