Court Street area
Downtown Athens, centered around Court St., is small but packed
with lots of great locally owned places to grab a cup of coffee
or a bite to eat. Some of our favorites are:
- Bagel Street Deli – Good bagels with a wide variety of excellent toppings.
- Brennen’s – A nice place for good coffee and sandwiches.
- The Donkey Café – Hands down the best coffee in Athens, and a great atmosphere to boot! Kelley and I love the Donkey. (17 ½ W Washington)
- Goodfellas – A New York style pizzeria with two downtown locations.
- Perk’s – A pretty good standard coffee shop.
