Service was great and very friendly, and the BLT and turkey sandwiches we ordered were very good. They have Miss Vickie's chips, which we like, too. The only part I didn't like was the cucumber and onion salad, which was cut up very coarsely into big slices and with a sauce that was more vinegary than I like. But other than that, great restaurant. Also very clean!

The food was indeed delicious and fresh. The portions were quite generous. I ordered the BLT sandwich, while my husband enjoyed the club sandwich. Furthermore, the staff was friendly and welcoming.

Excellent, huge scone. Others in my party loved their various pastries—the cinnamon bun (catcher’s mitt?) looked incredible. also have egg items. Service people were friendly, efficient, and patient with our large group of old folks. With a large overhang on the building, we were able to sit outside despite the heat. Worth the drive from Athens.

I had their BLT and side of fruit. The sandwich was near perfect and that was probably the freshest fruit I've ever received from a restaurant like theirs. Not to mention the staff were extremely friendly. Will be back again for sure!

Their coffee tastes very good and the baked goods are phenomenal. Decor is country chic with good mood lighting. The interior seating is decently comfortable (probably good for 2.5 hours) and the outside seating area is definitely a vibe. Downside is there is not a lot of sound absorption from other customer conversations, so it echoes very easily inside the seating area, making the experience less enjoyable with the loudness of others. I have tried several of their pastries and they're always so fresh and tasty. Apparently they have an in house chief. This is very apparent by how awesome the food is. Service is really great and the coffee is worth it for the price.

Stopped in today after a drs appointment with my children. I loved the atmosphere and the food and coffee were delicious. The only thing I wasn’t crazy about was the cucumber salad. I was pleasantly surprised with my coffee with how good it was because I hate to say it but most places either have good food and bad coffee or good coffee and bad food lol. Both were delicious though, we will definitely be back when we’re in the area.

Absolutely a must visit café. The portions are huge. We were expecting to get a small biscuit and it was about the size of three biscuits. I got the avocado toast with a side of fresh fruit for nine dollars and let me tell you a lot of avocado toast. I didn't get a picture of everything, but all four of us enjoyed our breakfast. If we lived in this area, we would visit this place weekly.

My first time ever coming to Joe and Sam’s and what a beautiful coffee shop!! Employees were so kind and personable. I got the turkey wrap with a side of broccoli cheddar soup which was absolutely amazing! I will be definitely coming back. Plus they had so many options, clean bathrooms, surplus of space, and wifi!

Smiles and great energy! Mariah made my Chai Latte and it was amazing! Go to place! Who needs Starbucks when you have Joe and Sam!

Ordering on the app is a nightmare. Each sandwich selection forces you to choose a “bread add on”. You can’t just add a normal sandwich to your cart. We wanted to order to time it so our food would be ready when we arrived, but the app forced you to add items you didn’t want or it wouldn’t let you add to cart, so we abandoned the idea.
