Donkey Coffee

The coffee beverages are totally top notch! They use Dean's Beans, the official beans of the coffee gods! The staff is usually pleasant. I always enjoy seeing the latest art for sale. The owners are nice folks as well. It's a bit of a drive from home, but for a serious coffee fan, it is worth going out of the way. 🤓

Terrific little cafe with a collection of classic board games for guests to play.

Good selection of roasts and sources, Donkey takes their coffee seriously. They make great pour-over and latte brews.

If you are visiting from out of town and want a delicious snack and a cup of coffee ... Stop here!

Great place to get work done and tasty coffee & delicious food! The inside is always very clean and feels comfortable!! There are plenty of tables and outlets for laptops and other devices!! Service is quick and best baristas who always make my drink perfect :) Cozy atmosphere and clean environment!!

Donkey Coffee is a popular place not only with the Ohio University crowd, but the locals as well. The coffee is prepared by knowledgeable and friendly staff. There is ample space to sit and chat with a friend or work on an assignment, especially with the second floor seating. Music is playing throughout the space to create a relaxed atmosphere. If java and caffeine are not your think, they have wide selection of teas (ask for the menu) and a variety of snacks and juices.

The best coffee I've ever had in my life. I have never had anything but the best experience with the staff. My favorite coffee shop for the atmosphere as well! Minutes away or hours apart, no matter where I am, Donkey has my heart 😉

I really can't say enough good things about Donkey. It's a fantastic locally owned coffee shop that only sells ethically traded and grown coffee. You can get your coffee made almost any way that you want. From nitro cold brew to espresso, and vegan and gluten free snack options they really do have something for everyone. And to top it all off, the staff is always friendly and helpful, even if it is obvious that they are "having a day" as can happen to anyone. With a cozy and unique atmosphere inside, and a small outside area, I wish I had more time to spend here in the morning with my coffee before work.

I Love The Coffee, The Atmosphere, The Entertainment They Have, It's Just Such An Awesome Place To Go To Unwind!!

The food was great and the people were very nice.. Check out my hot chocolate and cookie.

Really great especially for a Saturday night

Donkey is a staple of the community and a tradition amongst many of us who've lived in Athens. They pride themselves on being a sustainable source of "caffeine with a conscious" for no more money than the corporate chain you can get superior coffee from someone who actually cares about your experience. Also it offers the classic coffee parlor experience with poetry nights, open mic nights, board games, and a comfy atmosphere for relaxing and enjoying yourself.

Best coffee shop I've found in all my travels
