Donkey Coffee and Espresso

17 W Washington St, Athens, OH 45701

Donkey Coffee and Espresso in Athens, specialty coffee roaster

donkey coffee roasts beans with the kind of precision that keeps athens locals coming back weekly. you won't find flashy origin stories plastered on walls here, just consistently excellent coffee pulled by people who know what they're doing. the spot on w washington street operates without ceremony. what matters is what ends up in your cup. regulars have built their routines around this place because the quality never wavers. the espresso shots are dialed in properly, the pour-overs respect the beans, and nobody's trying to reinvent coffee culture. athens has other options, but when you want coffee done right without the performance, this is where you go. order the americano on a tuesday morning.
