Great coffee & donut place! They have vegan donuts (usually 1-2 options I think), even though it isn’t posted anywhere on their menu or website. I asked at the counter and they said two flavors were vegan - lemon poppy seed and cherry crunch (not sure if they rotate so make sure to always ask). Good coffee and they had plant based dairy free options like oat milk and almond milk. Delicious and filling! Wish they would add vegan symbol/wording to menu or at least online

Closer to 4 stars than 5 for me, but I’m not a coffee person, so look elsewhere for that feedback. Quality breakfast menu, quick service for a big crowd and a welcome switch up from the usual favorites. I need to come back to try more menu options. Worth the experience.

I went to the original location in Arnoldsville years ago and loved it. I thought it was the best biscuits I have ever had. I saw this new location in Athens and expected the same great food. I was greatly disappointed. Although the food is fresh and the portions are large the taste is not even remotely close to as good. The biscuits look like mass produced frozen biscuits and task like it. I definitely got a school breakfast vibe from the biscuit. The egg and bacon where good quality so I trashed the biscuit and jusr ate the toppings. For $9 I expected a much better biscuit. I would buy it again if it was $5 but not for $9. Cafe Racer is always busy so maybe it is just me, but I'm sad to say it was not as good as I expected.

Went here to get a little “caffeine for the drive back home” and it was great!! My husband got the Cubano coffee and I got a soft serve ice cream espresso flavored. Both were amazing and tasted soo good! I think it’s my favorite espresso soft serve ice cream ever! 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing quality and imaginative tastes in this top tier world class street food joint. Blows most fancy pubs put of the water, and they have a wide range of foods and drinks. Definitely worth the drive if you’re further away.

I came here with a group of about 12 people, and we saw this place after seeing Raising Cane's was packed. That was the best thing that could've happened that night: the fries were perfect with and without the sauce, and their burgers were the best I've had maybe in my entire life. We're definitely coming back here next time whenever we do our yearly trip to Athens.

These donuts are TO DIE FOR. We got different flavors, split them up so we can all taste them + bonus: we completed the Athens Beer Trail and ate a donut at every stop. 10/10 the best way to combine donuts + alcohol. I went back again a few months later and the flavors were updated, still delicious donuts but if they have the french toast one, GET THAT ONE. The donuts also don’t feel super heavy & although they are sugary, they certainly feel less sugary than krispy kreme.

I was in the area and this place did NOT disappoint! It had a drive-by-esque to the place where you eat outside after picking up your food. The food, itself, was great. It had a unique kick to your “classic biscuit” with flavors such as jalapeño cream, buffalo sauce, and a cheese crust.

My review is only on the Pumpkin Spice Latte(iced). It is not good or passable, as other reviews noted coffee is lacking. My issue is the syrup, it's horrible. The after taste and initial sick sweetness is bad. I would caution against buying their coffee. Their current setup for Halloween, especially at night, is cool. Service is good. For better Pumpkin Spice latte, I recommend Condor Chocolates Downtown.

AMAZING biscuits. I like the All the Way and their iced coffee is top tier. Long line on the weekends but it’s worth the wait..even in the rain. Outdoor seating only but there are some covered tables.
