Crema's Take

Tucked near Piedmont Hospital, this espresso-focused cafe has earned genuine affection from regulars who appreciate both the quality of the coffee and the unhurried, respectful service. The outdoor seating area strikes that rare balance between a quick caffeine stop and a lingering destination, with pastries and a cozy reading nook that invite you to settle in for a while. Staff here seem genuinely invested in helping customers find what they're looking for, whether you're a purist who just wants excellent espresso or someone exploring the specialty drink menu.

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Hands down, the best Americano I’ve had in my 63 years—and yes, I’m counting. Sips Coffee Shop is a delightful gem in Athens with a charming atmosphere, great location, and a staff that’s as warm as the coffee. Zero complaints, plenty of smiles. Highly recommended.

First timer. The woman behind the counter was absolutely lovely. The coffees we got were fantastic. The baked good were also great. Only downside was parking but the friendly staff and quality product made it worth it.

Nice little place near the hospital. I'm not a coffee drinker but was needing something for my wife. The young lady who helped me was very helpful with a great attitude. Best part, the coffee was great! Definitely check this place out.

My friend and I got coffee here and it was so yummy. We did not have to wait long and the prices were affordable. The seating outside is so cute and clean.
