Wes Crow

This is the best coffee in all the land, in the best coffee shop in all the land, with the best people in all the land. Do yourself a favor: go to Donkey.

Kevin Carroll

Fantastic place to "work from home" over the holiday! My mobile office today has great coffee and snacks . And 2nd floor window seat has great lighting and low music volume 8-5 (good for conf calls).

Alex White

After moving to Columbus, the thing I miss most from Athens is donkey. Great place to study, play board games , meet your group, or just enjoy coffee .

Jay Grant

Best coffee in Athens . Favorite place to study. The balcony upstairs is nice when warm. Vegan pastries . Open mic music on Thursday night. Try the chai !

Ali Cupelli

When you've got a late night of studying ahead of you and don't feel like being drone in the library , this is the place to be. Perfect for studying, great coffee , and snacks . Reviews on Urbanspoon! Read more

Sarah Davis

By far the best coffee in Athens . The atmosphere is great. Bit of a warning though, don't be surprised if it's very crowded during Finals...just like everywhere else on campus around that time.

Alex Grismer

Great place to get work done and see some culture. Very cozy , great coffee , awesome cause.

BEST coffee in Athens ! I basically live at Donkey and love how cozy and comfortable it is. I study, meet up with friends, have meetings and play some great games of Scrabble here.

Rachel Figley

Rated #1 coffee house in Ohio by Ohio magazine several years running. I've also awarded them the best spiced chai in all of the world.

It costs an extra 10 cents if you pay with a credit card. If you use a gift card (you don't have to load money on it) you get a free drink after 10 purchases. It is hot in there dress accordingly.

Margaux Hammer

Classic vanilla latte with whole milk add the best taste in any day! Must have!

The ice mocha is great! The taste of the chocolate blends and balances the ratio.

Here for the weekend. So happy to find the donkey. I'm an espresso junkie and my Americano was the best I've ever had. Cheers.

Rob Delach

From my experience, Donkey has the best coffee and espresso drinks ... anywhere.

Carolyn Croft

Try the skinny latte , buy a bread & chocolate dark chocolate bar , sit on the upstairs outdoor patio , ignore that the place sometimes smells like its name.

Katie Hendrickson

If you like chai but not the sweetness, try the herbal Chai . You get a pot of tea and some steamed milk . I get mine unsweetened and with (local) Snowville Creamery milk .

Patrick McCue

Best chai tea I've had. Graduated from OU in 2010, but I come back to visit all the time

Jared Vorkavich

Get the Peanut Butter Cup Frescante. It's a sweet, cold treat not to be missed.

Jordan Matthiass

Killer chai drinks with some powerful espresso beverages to match.

Crew

Plenty of power outlets along the walls. Free Wi-Fi, password not required. Read more

Celia B

Get a gift card, even if you don't put any money on it, because if you use it ten times you get a free drink.

Bethany Scott

Best coffee in Athens ! Order the iced soy spiced power chai ! The BEST :)

Alex D

Large teas come with own mini kettle. Attend a reading! Go early for a seat.

Kait Leugers

Best coffee in Athens . Refillable cups of coffee are perfect for long nights of studying.

Sue R

My favorite Athens hangout!

Lauren

Whatever it is, make sure they make it with Snowville Creamery stuff. It's ambrosia from a cow teat, I am telling you.

Tina Frost

Come in and listen to the great music and poetry reading you'll love it

Andrew Milner

I'm not a huge coffee person, but I thought the coffee tasted like cigarette water. Maybe it was all the people who were smoking.

Steve Turrill

Try their traditional Italian-style indie rock playlists.

ᴡ Scally

The drinks here are excellent, and it's one of the best places to study in Athens!

Myke Linscott

The vanilla macchiato is to die for!
