Poindexter Coffee
295 E Dougherty St, Athens, GA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Athens, this espresso-focused spot earns consistent love for both its skillfully crafted drinks—think perfectly smooth oat milk lavender lattes and latte art that delights kids—and its genuinely warm staff who make each visit feel personal. The clean, cozy environment strikes that sweet spot between a place to linger with your laptop and a destination where you'll actually get a unique coffee experience, not just a transaction. Their partnership with 1000 Faces roastery means you're getting quality beans that shine in every cup, especially if you're an espresso purist.”

Clean and cozy coffee shop. Employee was nice and kind. Made a adorable hot cocoa bear art for my kid to enjoy on a cold day. Drinks were good but no sweet snacks. Just drinks.
This morning we picked up some coffee beans from the grant park farmers market, and 1000 Faces continues to be one of my favorite roasters. The people working the booth are always genuinely nice and happy to talk through the coffees, which makes the whole experience even better. I’m a big fan of their natural processed Ethiopian coffees like Biranu Dulo and Daannisa. The flavors are vibrant and layered lots of fruit, subtle florals, and a really nice sweetness but always clean and balanced. These beans are especially great for espresso. They pull beautifully with a silky body, juicy acidity, and complex flavor that still feels refined and not overwhelming. You get something interesting in every sip. I will take a sip and just be like WOW!
This place is top notch! Every time I go here for a cup of coffee, I get a cup of coffee AND a unique experience I've not had at any other coffee place. The environment is perfect for chilling and studying, and it looks awesome. The employees are great to chat with and make lots of latte art (something I wish I knew how to do). Sometimes the pastries and other food items sell out very quickly, but when I do get them, they're great. Overall, this might be my new favorite coffee shop.
1000 Faces Coffee I had an oat milk lavender latte and it was perfect — super smooth and delicious. My son got a caramel one that was also really good. You can tell the coffee here is great quality. It’s a nice spot to hang out, study, meet up with friends, or just chill. And you can even buy their coffee to take home.
Absolutely fantastic place to have some coffee. Espresso was so good! It was just perfect. It's not that easy to find a decent coffee place in the US. However this place is way above decent level even by European standards. I just can't stress enough how great the coffee is here. Highly recommend it. If I ever be in Athens again, I will definitely visit you guys.
