    I was in Athens on work, stopped by this coffee shop in the middle of the day on a Tuesday. Everyone working was very nice, and the chai latte was delicious! Great place to stop in for a beverage if you are in the area, pretty extensive menu.

    I love donkey! There is nothing bad to say. This was my favorite spot during graduate school to come to and study, get tea and a chocolate chip muffin. The people are so friendly and they really do care. I have made many friends that's to the barista's just generally chatting and getting to know their customers. There is local art work all over the walls, board games and a stage in the back for people to use. My friend Dave runs open mic night and it was always a joy to watch. Every time I come back to Athens I have to stop at donkey!

    No matter how much time elapses between visits, one thing remains the same - the quality of Donkey Coffee. I took my wife around Ohio University, and Donkey was on my list for places she had to experience from my time at OU. I had a delicious latte. Tasty, bold, and wonderful to look at! My wife had an iced white chocolate raspberry latte, and she raved about it. She also loves the Donkey vibe - eclectic yet relaxing. It was such a nice morning at this coffee shop!

    Stopped by this place this morning with some friends. It wasn't too packed but you could tell that it is a local favorite. The baristas was very friendly and patient when taking our orders. I got the power chai and a bagel. My drink was very tasty but for some reason gave me a stomach ache by the end. Maybe it was the sugar? Besides that it was very tasty. My bagel was also good but they never asked if I wanted it warm/toasted. I'm not sure if they have that capability or not, but it was still good cold, just weird. The place has good prices, nice vibes, and plenty of space for groups. Overall I'd come back to try more.
