Your Guide To Student-Friendly Grub In Athens, GA

In This Article:

There's nothing quite like downtown Athens, GA.

Something that makes it so special is the diversity of places to eat and choosing the perfect one is a strenuous decision. Every restaurant, brunch spot, and coffee shop all have different atmospheres and company. I've done my best to categorize some of my favorite sites I've been to and that others have recommended to me.

Athen's Most Popular

You really cannot go wrong trying any of these favorites:

  • Taqueria Del Sol
  • Clarke's
  • Clocked
  • Amici
  • Taqueria Tsunami
  • Cali n Titos
  • The Place
  • Tazikis
  • Grind House
  • The Globe
  • Pauley's
  • Utage
  • Little Italy

Coffee Shops 

Athens is known by college students for having great coffee shops, so these places serve more as study spots more than anything.

  • 1000 Faces Coffee
  • Iron Works
  • Hendershots
  • Walkers
  • Ike & Jane
  • Sips
  • Jittery Joe's
  • Starbucks (duh)

But first, BRUNCH

Brunch...definitely my favorite meal, especially on Sundays. I 10/10 recommend these spots!
  • Mama's Boy (THE all time fave of everyone in Athens no questions asked).
  • Mama Jewels Kitchen
  • Franklin House Cafe
  • Big city bread cafe
  • Donderos
  • Heirloom cafe & fresh market

For when your parents visit ($$$)

Let's be honest. We're college students and we're broke as heck. When our parents come to visit we all would really love a nice (paid for) meal. Don't even lie about it. These places are all super yummy but also a little on the pricey side. Pay up, parents!

  • The last resort
  • The National
  • Five and Ten
  • Depalmas

Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth

Freshman year I learned that the later you stay up studying, the yummier these taste.

  • Cinnaholic
  • Insomnia cookies (extra amazing because they deliver directly to your dorm/study spot)
  • Zombie coffee and donuts
  • Ben and Jerry's
  • Four Fat Cows

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
