Crema's Take

Sunroof is where Nick and Reid have crafted something genuinely special in downtown Watkinsville, creating a destination that feels less like a coffee shop pit stop and more like a beloved neighborhood gathering spot. Their espresso drinks are clearly the foundation, but they've earned devoted fans with creative signatures like their strawberry matcha and a menu that balances tradition with playful invention. The real magic here is the vibe—reviewers consistently describe feeling at home, welcomed by genuinely cool people in a space that somehow manages to be both energizing and a place you want to linger.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.

Sunroof's cold brew was probably the worst I've had in my life. Looked way too light visually, flavor ws essentially water with a touch of burnt coffee bean at the end. Somehow, this (and a slice of banana bread) came out to be $12. Atmosphere was nice but the space felt pretty…

Sunroof downtown is my favorite coffee shop in Athens. Nick and Reid have put together something great. You can’t go wrong with any of the espresso drinks.

Hands-down the best coffee spot in Athens! The vibe is incredible, the people are so friendly, and the coffee is top tier. I feel at home at Sunroof. BIG fan of these guys and what they have done to make this place so special! Athens is blessed with their presence.
