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.
