Made a detour on my way to NYC from Albany, to get some lunch.. love the place, and people that run it.. food was great l, keep it up.. The only thing I would change is the use of throwaway containers for food. I would have loved real bowl for that bean soup.

Lovely little place for good lattes and breakfast items. Small indoors but nice tables outside (some in front of defunct restaurant across the street). Love that there were vegan options :)

I love it here! Freshly made baked goods, hearty sandwiches, and delicious coffee at reasonable prices. The entire staff is incredibly nice and truly care about making people feel welcome.

Owner snapped out a table outside for us so we could eat there. So nice! The food was amazing as expected. The sausage and pimento burrito delivered and the brunch pizza is exactly as good as it sounds. Perfectly prepared, crispy cheesy crust. Turmeric latte also quite yummy.

Great place to have a bite. I had the cuban sandwich, the pork was delicious. I stole a slice of pizza from my wife (ok, she let me) and loved the thin crust, so tasty. The owners and staff are friendly to everyone. It was obvious that they had a lot of regulars who they chatted with.

Cute place but for over $4, I expect a better cappuccino. Mine was unpleasantly foamy and lacked artistry. Just meh.

Absolutely charming shop right here in the village. Baked goods galore, soup, sandwiches, salads, pizza, frozen prepared foods to go for easy heating when you get home, they have a little bit of everything. There is a petite section with shelves filled with local goodies, some edibles items and other kitchen-y things. Reba, Eric and Melissa are there all of time and ALWAYS sweet, genuine, caring people! There are huge windows with tons of natural light if you're a reader. Currently their tree is up and the place looks quite festive. I look forward to my mornings there, always makes for a good start to my day

The Athens Rooster is the true gem of Athens, NY. It’s such a cute place to grab breakfast. It seems like a lot of locals love to eat here. The prices are amazing- this coming from someone who brunches in NYC. It’s street parking but Athens doesn’t have a lot of traffic so it’s easy to find a spot.

I love it here, but the hours are so unpredictable. I can’t count how many times I’ve come by during normal business hours to find the door locked and one of these signs. This town already has a hard time supporting more than one restaurant; I would hate to lose this cafe.

Some of the best chili I've tasted,
I'm really liking the options for dietary restrictions and with all that even fast friendly service!
