(This is not a sandwich review as I have not tried the sandwiches lol) OMG!!! We have never been in here and boy was it shocking and overwhelming......in a good way. I got to see a beautiful soul that I haven't seen in a while (go check out anything beautiful and sweet and she probably made it. Her name is Megan and she is amazing!!!) Back to Athens Cooks. lol We loved looking at all the stuff. There is literally every gourmet cooking device you can imagine in this tiny lil shop. We didn't eat! We will definitely be back to eat and buy stuff! Just stopped in for a coffee and check it out. I had salted caramel "special" and the hubs had the Mexican Mocha. Mine was good but his was unbelievably delicious!!!! Spicy, cinnamony, dark and cozy. We will definitely be back for the coffee, as well as to try everything else, especially the desserts!!! Go see my friend and enjoy some heavenly sweets and the super comforting coffees and teas!!!! read more

Took 30 minutes for a sandwich to make it to the table. Staff blamed their ticket whatever. We were the only ones sitting/eating at the large table INSIDE. Went there when they first opened. Could not remember why we never thought to go back. read more

The food was good. I got the chicken Caesar wrap. It's a good option for Athens but i definitely know there are better out in the world. It's not chopped on the inside and skimpy on lettuce. No croutons in it either. Overall, food was good but the workers were so odd. I stood at the counter and three workers were standing back there but not taking the initiative to take my order. They were being so awkward too. It was so odd and something I've never really experienced lol. Probably won't be back due to unhelpful staff. read more

Athens Cooks - Chicken Caesar Wrap with sweet potato chips - Sandwiches Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Athens cooks is a hidden gem lunch spot in Athens. They have delicious food, great kitchen shopping, and I've heard great classes! I'm hoping to get a date night in soon at one of their cooking classes. A friends took me here for lunch a few months ago and I haven't stopped raving about it since. I wish they were open for dinner! read more

Athens Cooks - Sandwiches Near Me - Athens, Georgia

I've been here a few times and have been consistently disappointed. The food is very good and I love the coffee which is why I have gone back. However, for such expensive food (nearly $50 for two people to have lunch), it is not worth it. The service is incredibly slow and I feel like I get skimped every time. There is one employee in particular (a girl with blue hair) that had particularly dampened the vibes. She is always incredibly stressed and I have heard her snap at her fellow employees just trying to help her. This last time I went, I got a sandwich with a side of chips and a coffee. The sandwich came after 20 minutes, no coffee, no silverware, no napkin. The plate had no chips. I asked if the coffee was ready at the counter and she told me they lost the order because their wifi was acting up. Totally understandable but when I went and got my coffee I asked about the side of chips and napkins. She said they were out of chips and didn't offer anything else to replace and never got me a napkin. Next thing I see, the table beside us is served their meals with chips. The whole experience was disappointing and I will not be back until their customer service improves. read more

Chicken Caesar wrap was delicious! Coffee selection was great and had lots of latte flavors to choose from too.

Athens Cooks sells cookware, serves food, and offers cooking classes. I got almost all my Christmas gifts from Athens Cooks this year. The blueberry scone was delicious. The Mexican Mocha is really good--balanced sweet and spicy. The space itself gets tons of natural light. It is slightly crammed inside because they just have one big (gorgeous) wood table, but they have tables outside, as well. The staff is really friendly. read more

I was looking for spice jars when I found this awesome kitchen/cooking school/kitchen shop. They had an option I hadn't even thought of! All the rest of the shop was loaded with upscale, beautiful kitchen supplies that could've have resulted in big trouble in little china for me. But what was really cool was they were getting prepped for a wild game cooking class that evening. I've taken part in group cooking classes before and I have to say this place does it right and I will be booking one in the future. read more

Cooking classes and cooking and kitchen supplies and accessories are amazing and the breakfast and lunch is outstanding...especially at the quaint storefront sidewalk seating. read more

Their sandwiches are crazy good every time. Ordered online and somehow switched up my order or maybe I messed something up who knows. I called right away and apparently called the wrong number but the lady was very kind and told me she'd also try to let them know to change out my order. Ended up calling the right number and there was no answer and wasn't confident it was even connected. Went in the store and they were packed and I didn't really care what sandwich they gave me at that point--was gonna take whatever I could get but they did manage to somehow correct it which was very nice. They get busy so this place can take a long time but well worth the wait. read more

I honestly can't say enough about this store! My husband is a cook and my mom and I went there specifically for some bakeware. The moment we went in, the customer service was so amazing. Courtney and Grady are the nicest people. We have bought really cool items from there and had our knives sharpened there at a great price. I always recommend it. And you can shop with a glass of wine and eat lunch while you are there. Honestly, this is somewhere to definitely go to! Perfect for some early Christmas shopping. OH - the dogs are the cutest addition! See you soon!!! read more

all coffee syrups are made in house with natural ingredients!! the breakfast burrito was probably the best thing i've ever eaten. the menu wasn't limited and there's options for both breakfast and lunch. the staff was super nice too, they refilled my water and treated me with so much kindness. i will definitely try out the cooking classes here next time. they said they had done a harry potter one the night before which is awesome. there's also a lot of kitchen appliances for sale. read more
