Jittery Joe's Coffee — Restaurant in Athens-Clarke County Unified Government

Excellent cold brew beans. They will grind them for you at the correct size for cold brew also if you ask. I tried the samples of their medium and dark roast which ere also good, but the cold brew was my favorite. Freshly roasted beans make a huge difference. miles above anything you can buy in the local supermarkets.

Pity, because I always used to make a point of dropping by when in town...

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...
