Independent Baking
1625 S Lumpkin St, Athens, GA
Crema's Take
“This beloved neighborhood spot in Athens has mastered the art of the perfect coffee pairing, where each expertly-pulled espresso drink finds its match in their outstanding house-made pastries and light fare. There's a genuine warmth here that keeps locals coming back—the kind of place where you can linger over a traditional cappuccino and a croissant, or grab your usual on the way out, and either way you feel like part of the community. With consistently high praise across over 300 reviews, it's earned its reputation as the kind of independent coffee shop that makes a town feel like home.”
