This place I feel is a “hidden gem” not out in the open like your typical Starbucks or Dunkin. Takes a 30 second walk to get there from parking. Super cozy I was in awe of the place. I got a 16oz iced mocha latte and I always get an easier drink to make to just see how the quality is on my first visit. I was in shock how good and authentic this coffee tasted. A little on the more expensive side, yes but I feel you get your moneys worth with the quality and cozy quiet environment. I loved my experience and will be back so soon.

This place is so cute! Unfortunately my coffee was not good… I got an oatmilk white chocolate latte and it was very chalky. I got it remade with plain vanilla and it was still very chalky. Kind of upsetting given I paid 8 dollars for it. Also, the menu says .75 cents for non-dairy options but they actually charge a dollar. I put a picture of my friend’s receipt. The baristas were nice! I did have to repeat my order a few times but the barista that took my order seemed a little new. The service was good, the coffee not so much. I’m not sure if I’ll come back.

I recently visited Daydreamer in Athens, Georgia, and I was thoroughly impressed! The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax or catch up with friends. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every customer feels welcome. The coffee is top-notch, with a rich and smooth flavor that stands out from other places. I tried their pumpkin cloud latte , and it was perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. They also offer a variety of pastries and snacks that are fresh and delicious. Overall, Daydreamer is a gem in Athens. Whether you're a coffee aficionado or just looking for a comfortable place to unwind, this is the place to be. Highly recommended! Also vary welcoming to dogs!!!!

It's in a really convenient location, but also not super easy to find with just walking traffic. I've been here before, and the prices are on the somewhat expensive side, since it doesn't seem that they make their own syrups or roast their own coffee. They also don't show what roasts they use. Their espresso drinks are tasty and I enjoyed them, but nothing memorable. Their matcha is flavorless and disappointing. They have one person working, which makes wait times longer and she's working super hard to manage. The cafe is very cute and has wonderful decor and free wifi, I really like the vibe. They also don't accept cash (but have a tip jar?) which is a massive downside for me. Overall it feels like a cafe made just for the residents of the luxury student apartments.

this cafe is absolutely stunning and such a vibe!! got the pumpkin cloud latte from their fall menu and it was so delicious. the staff was very welcoming and friendly! told them i was indecisive with what i wanted and they explained their new fall drinks to me even though they didn’t have to. definitely coming back with my friends to study or work here as there is plenty of seating for groups of all sizes.

Finding this place was very difficult. Be sure to circle the Rambler and don’t try to go in through the locked doors surrounding it. The 16 oz Americano only comes with one shot of espresso. The Wi-Fi password is “espresso” UPDATE: The manager who replied to this review stated for me to reach out to the email address provided to get some clarification about the issues I had and didn’t even bother to reply. Changing my review to 1 star for misleading people to think y’all actually care about creating a good experience for the customers. God bless!
