In our opinion, they have the best coffee in Athens
Josh: if you want to college girl, get a mocha (actually quite delicious (💅) & Underwood approved) Grace: honestly come back for dessert! They have ice cream sandwiches
This spot is one of our favorites! Not quite a full breakfast but all of their pastries are amazing Josh: Top 5 Athens Institution; $0.95 french roll Grace: the morning roll is… iconic! In college some of my favorite mornings included walking to Independent and bringing my morning roll back to my front porch. Shoutout smilledge!
This is an Athens classic known for their biscuits
The best bagel in Athens
For breakfast tacos! Josh: tacos > bagels
Casual, Cuban restaurant - whatever you order, get a side of the pink sauce! Josh: steak tacos with yuca Grace: chicken cuban
It's just always good!
Think pub food - people love the lamb burger and fish and chips Josh: Guinness on the patio
Add Drug, Canes, Schlotzsky’s
You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! Grace: white chocolate cheesecake with decaf coffee
One of our favorites! Especially if you love oysters! Josh: okra
Again more pub food but you can’t go wrong with any of their burgers
