Molly’s Coffee Company - Athens, Georgia

Rachel G.

I’d just like to start by saying, I’m a mom on the way to supervise a Pre-K field trip with a billion children. I desperately needed caffeine. I’m typically a double to quad shot espresso with some sweetener or a cortado girl.

Didn’t want Starbucks or jittery Joe’s as I like “strong as hell” and coffee that isn’t watered down. I like my bean juice as dark as I can get it.

The sweet barista was a doll and made my cortado PERFECTLY. I didn’t catch his name, but thanks bud. And thanks for the recommendation on the homemade syrup 🏆

Went a little wacky and tried brown sugar + honey lavender. Considering I’m super picky in the lavender and all things it was a solid 10/10. Definitely recommend it and will come back.

Molly's coffee is by far my favorite coffee place! Their coffee is well made and made for coffee drinkers who don't want cheaply made drinks. Highly recommend!!
My only complaint is I love it so much that I would appreciate more seating for customers; during final season it can be hard to find a seat.

Cute coffee shop. It has basic scones and quick pastries. Would recommend to add more food items.
The atmosphere is cute and clean. I came on a Wednesday morning and the cafe had every table taken with a college student studying. Recommend more indoor seating.

Long wait! Wouldn’t recommend if you’re there in a hurry or thirsty like I was. We waited 10 minutes in line to get our order in, another 15 for my friend to get their Americano and scone. Then another 10 for my iced mocha. Wouldn’t say waiting awkwardly slouched by the bathroom area a pleasant experience.

I wanted to try something new but I cant say I liked the spicy mocha latte either. 😞

So many cool drink variations you can order and everything is reasonably priced. Staff was so friendly and encouraged me to try a new drink, promising to make a new one if I didn’t like it - I tried a Coconut Matcha and my friend tried a Vanilla Mocha (I think). The vibe is so cozy and cute with tons of natural sunlight and different seating areas including an outdoor seating area. It does get very crowded and noisy so don’t recommend studying there unless you go at a less busy time. They also had a drive through which was very surprising to me. Overall, great place and I’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely remarkable cafe. A tasteful and delicious selection, wonderful service, and a sunny, calm, and joyful atmosphere with subdued music and a pleasant level of ambient noise and chatter. It's wonderful. If you're an espresso fan, don't even think, just order the $4 cortado and be delighted.

Molly's is absolutely both a studying and a date "happy place"! And a little amazing perk - the listed prices are the real prices, on the dot, with tax included. Default tip options are $1, $2, or $3, no matter the order size, which even as a supporter of the overall need for tips in the food industry, is refreshing as well. There is literally no pressure during the tipping process. What a wonderful and considerate place.

I absolutely love Molly’s! Their coffee and scones are so good and the baristas are always sooooo friendly. The inside is adorable and so well decorated. I come here several times a week and always have such a good experience. Best coffee shop in Athens by far!

This is our go to coffee shop. The atmosphere is great and the staff is always friendly. Cortado is my beverage of choice as I enjoy the more intense espresso flavor. My wife goes for the oat milk latte as of late. Students will sometimes crowd the shop during exam time but usually it isn’t busy first thing in the morning during the week. There are some scones and muffins to choose from.
