This is Average coffee at best. I purchased a Cortado and it had way too much non frothed milk in it. It had a very weak flavor. It was basically like a coffee with too much milk not expresso with whipped milk. The breakfast sandwiches are not home made. I am assuming frozen and microwaved. The display counter is broken for pastry display. There appears to be a pizza store within this complex that was not open. This place needs a cleaning. The display shelves are covered in dust and the floors were slippery from grease. The staff was friendly and welcoming.

The smoothies are great but the coffee is a miss. I was in Copeland daily and only went for smoothies because they were very good.

My go to coffee spot in Athens, OH, a court street mocha never disappoints... the barista today, Kelsey, was so sweet and recommended an amazing combination of green tea with pomegranate and raspberry. So refreshing on a day like today when you start sweating the minute you walk out the door. There is tons of seating, a restroom, and it's always clean! Always a pleasure to be back on the bricks and having this coffee shop available.

I had high hopes for court street coffee since they use crimson cup which is one of my favorite places to get coffee from. They have an extensive menu, something for everyone to try, with a lot of seasonal coffees as well! I also really enjoyed that they remodeled since it used to be such a small coffee shop, now there is room for tables for students to sit and do homework. My issues with court street coffee is that when you order an iced latte they use what they call "espresso cold brew" Im not sure if this a trend that is catching on since this is not the first time I've encountered this. As a precious barista and a coffee lover it's important to note that there is no difference between a normal coffee bean and beans used for espresso. Espresso is simply the process in how the coffee is being prepared. The "cold brew" that they have created sits in the fridge and they are making iced lattes with this instead of fresh shots. This is problematic because you are paying much higher prices for a latte, not a cold brew. Espresso has a much different flavor than cold brew. If that cold brew is previously pulled shots, they have burned and it creates a bitter taste. It overall is very lazy. When I asked if they could remake my drink with fresh shots, the barista seemed confused and tried to explain it to me. Again as a former barista I know that espresso cold brew does not exist. They did not remake my drink and I just left. I think that the process is lazy and they are overcharging for drinks, as a latte is always more expensive than a cold brew and you are paying for something you are not getting. I'm really hoping that coffee shops do not adapt this poor and lazy way of making coffee, at the end of the day if Starbucks can pull fresh shots for each drink, so should they.

Great place and the owner is nice. Coffee was good and she was a true American and didn't push masks that don't work anyway.

One of my favorite coffee shops just off campus! Great coffee, service, and seating. Baristas are always extremely personable. Highly recommend the sugar free mocha freeze with protein powder and almond milk.

Great coffee shop vibe with a wide selection and comfortable waiting couch. Not too many tables to work, but the location is right off the main street. Great place, service, and coffee!

The previous reviewer said it best about being the least pretentious. Once, I went to Court Street Coffee with a friend to get my coffee and vegan muffin (soo good!! I miss them still!), only for him to then inform me that he wanted to go to Donkey Coffee to get his coffee (I suspect for the 'coolness' factor-since, come on, hot chocolate is pretty much the same everywhere), so off we went (after I got my order from Court Street--with efficient/friendly service). This was my only time going to Donkey Coffee and the service, in comparison, was beyond ridiculously slow, and the general atmosphere was so oppressively pretentious--some of which was genuine, but much was pretend and a bit 'trying too hard'. There aren't a ton of tables/seating at Court Street, but people seem to be pretty good about not hogging tables, to turn into impromptu home offices, while nursing a single cup of coffee (I'm looking at you, Starbucks..), so you can usually get a table. It's pretty quiet also, so you can chat with friends comfortably. I've since moved from Athens, but Court Street remains my favorite coffee shop, as I've yet to find a comparable replacement.

I have yet to have a good experience here. I haven't disliked the coffee but what I can't get be hind is how pricey it can be compared to other local places given how often I've had a messed up order. Although I have nothing bad to say about the atmosphere.

My favorite spot for coffee at OU. Court Street Coffee has a totally different feel than the other coffee shops around Athens and there's truly something for everyone here. The Court Street Mocha alone has turned several of my friends into regular coffee drinkers. Super easy to order and everyone who works there has been nothing but professional and welcoming. The only time in the last four years I've had a long wait time for my drink one of the baristas gave me a coupon for a free regular coffee to make up for it. Every time besides that they've been extremely prompt. I've never had a cup of coffee from Court Street Coffee I didn't like. Best coffee shop in Athens.
