Jittery Joe’s

Same stuff as other Jittery Joe’s but not much at all in the way of study room.

By far the slowest drive-​through I have ever experienced. Ever. Defies all logic really.

Have loved Jittery Joe’s since high school. Great coffee and great treats. They were gracious enough to be open the day after Christmas. I ordered a small Dutch mocha with a raspberry coconut bar (more like a brick — was extremely rich but delicious). Coffee was perfect as usual. Now, just open a Jittery Joe’s in Raleigh NC and life will be great up here.

I met here on a Sunday morning with my daughter. We had our choice of tables, and the staff behind the counter was friendly and helpful. I had a blueberry scone, and my daughter had a bagel and cream cheese, to go with our coffees. I do suggest the early morning hours, as there is not a crowd and the sunlight through the large windows is not trying to cook you in your own juices. This is a good place to stop here in Athens if you need a break from other coffee places in town.

Hands down my favorite Jittery Joe’s location. While all the locations have their own unique «flavor» the Baxter location is the easiest and friendliest to navigate. Parking is rarely an issue and the staff is always attentive. Obviously the coffee is amazing and while their food was never a favorite in the past, it seems they have stepped up their game with quality and selection recently. Beyond the standard muffins and croissants they have quiches and other non breakfast fare. Sometimes seating is limited but with the outdoor patio in the warmer months it seems to work out.

Beats starbucks hands downb.
It is local and that means is roasted within a 10 mile radius of where I am sitting .
The staff is eclectic helpful and always have something fun to talk about

Jittery Joe’s is a coffee shop chain that started in Athens back in 1994. It is a local favorite coffee shop among UGA students. Apparently this location is pretty new, and it is really nice. The space is pretty big, and the store layout is fun. While waiting in line for your coffee, you get to check out their line of mugs and slick tumblers.
The coffee pricing is pretty standard. I ordered a dark roast coffee with an extra vanilla flavor shot. Unfortunately, their creamer containers were empty, and in those situations I usually just nuke my drink with all the powders (nutmeg, cinnamon, cocoa, and vanilla). The drink was still delicious!
What I really like about the location is actually the outside. First, there’s an awesome orange bench swing where you and your friend can sit in what looks like a metal sofa, but it swings back and forth. Second, there’s a wooden «birdhouse» bookshelf called the free library where you can give and take a book. Great concept!
A for effort, creativity of the free library, design of the shop and quality of coffee.
*Disclaimer: Came here for a day trip in Athens, quickly hitting up some of the local faves.

How can you NOT be a fan of Jittery Joe’s!?! I’m not even a huge coffee fanatic and I love it. I guess there’s just something about a locally owned and operated chain — especially when it’s in Athens!
That being said, I gotta admit the Baxter Street location isn’t my favorite for one reason: the lighting. I don’t know who designed this coffee shop, but those windows up top allow sunlight into the space at strange angles throughout the day and I find myself having to switch tables frequently to avoid being blinded while I’m working.
But, okay, enough venting — the service here is great (everyone is so nice), the drinks are yummy (I like a good nonfat iced latte with a splash of sugar-​free hazelnut syrup), and there is plenty of room to get some work done (inside or out!). JJ’s even provides some extension cords so that folks studying or working don’t have to hunt down a table against the wall. A GREAT move in a college town.
Three cheers to Jittery Joe’s!

After visiting nearly every Jittery Joe’s in the region, I’ve decided that this one is my least favorite. Everything I’ve tried here is either way too sweet and syrupy, or just plain bland.
The atmosphere is nice though. And I’m glad there is a location in the Alps. The service is friendly, but they have made mistakes with my order before.
I find it weird that prices are different at each location, and the prices here are not the lowest I’ve seen. I’ll avoid this location if at all possible.

This Joe’s location has become my favorite spot when I need to run in and grab some coffee or get some work done. Coffee always tastes great and I’ve always gotten great service from the staff here. They actually allow them to have some personality if you’ve ever gone thru the drive thru you know what I mean. Plus its always nice to support a local business as opposed to a national chain.

3 stars for taste, 5 stars for the environment… Oh wait, that averages to 4 stars. Okay, changing it now haha — Uh anyway, this Jittery Joe’s is kinda fancy! It’s probably one of the bigger locations I’ve seen and it has tons and tons of space to sit to study, socialize, people watch, or work. Whatever suits your fancy, do it, but do it quietly because when I walked in, whoa, super quiet… Kind of like a library. But on a nice sunny day, sitting out at front would be a great way to spend a couple hours. Hmm the staff is friendly and everything else is grand, except I just cannot bring myself to enjoy the coffee. Yeah, yeah I know I’m no coffee expert, but taste is lacking here for me. =/​So, it’s likely I’m probably not going to ever stop by again, but I’m sure for many other peeps, this is a swell coffee spot. Plus, there’s a convenient drive-​thru!

I’ve been to pretty much all of the Jittery Joe’s in Athens/​Watkinsville, but this one is probably my favorite for a few reasons. It has a very quick drive though, excellent service, and great coffee!
There are several other coffee places on my route to work including a Starbucks, but I stop here mainly because of the character the owner has allowed the employees to carry out on a day to day basis. When going through the drive-​thru, you never know what voice or personality you are going to get… sometimes it might be a space invader, a British gentleman, or a country bumpkin.
If I get to start my day out with good coffee AND a laugh, that’s a goooood day. Love you guys!

Though I feel more at home at the Jittery Joe’s Roaster (E. Broad St.) or in the long-​established Five Points (Milledge Ave) location, I do like this spot for what it is. Newer and slicker than the older JJ’s locations, this place seems a bit more focused on serving commuters and folks on the go than on making a cozy place for you to hunker down to study. (That being said, there are several tables and a small bar where you can set up shop.)
Morning biscuits before 11 AM. They’re nothing super-​special, but they hit the spot if you’re in a hurry. (They’re affordable, too.)
I always get great customer service here; I like to buy my cans of whole bean coffee here because all the types are displayed in a user-​friendly way. Oh, and last time I pulled through the drive-​through to get some beans, the guy on the intercom spoke in a very entertaining sing-​songy voice that put a smile on my face.
