Hendershot's Coffee

237 Prince Ave, Athens, GA

Crema's Take

Hendershot's is a rare breed that seamlessly transforms from a serious espresso bar by day into a vibrant live music venue by night, all while maintaining genuinely excellent coffee and a genuinely welcoming staff. The clever green and red light system lets you signal whether you're there to hunker down with your pour over or socialize, making it equally perfect for focused work sessions and spontaneous community moments. It's the kind of place where the owner might hop on drums between your cappuccino and a comedy show, embodying an infectious creative energy that locals and visitors alike keep coming back for.

Truly phenomenal coffee, but also an entirely unique venue! I’ve never seen anyone successfully pull off the bar AND coffeehouse in one place, and I love that they have green and red lights to sit under, compostable stirrers, and in-house roasted beans (which were smooth and so rich in flavor)! I wish this was closer to me in Boston!!! If you ever decide to branch out, all our silly alcohol rules aside, come north!!!

Great study/coffee spot during the day and great music venue at night. Staff has always been friendly and the owner, Seth, is a freaking maniac on the drums. I would definitely recommend going to their music events - especially their open mic nights for musicians looking for a chill atmosphere to perform :)

We enjoyed the coffee, breakfast sandwich and pastry. Great location with lots of seating options inside and out.

Hendershot’s is the best! It’s my favorite place to perform, and my fave place to see shows/comedy. The sound system is great, the staff is always heroically sweet, and the owners are national treasures. Great coffee and fun seasonal cocktails!

We came to Athens and Hendershots to hear some love music. We were the in the afternoon. There is a nice university vibe in the area. Drinks were reasonable and service was friendly and efficient. I didn’t realize they served food. The venue for live music is excellent with a combination of tables and a nice couch area to listen to the artists. Definitely deserves a night visit next time we are in Athens.
