Customer Reviews

"I loved going into an old house and eating in it. Older windows that reminded me of a home I lived in back in the 90s. Lots of quirky knicknacks to look at. The burger was pretty good with a: made-at-home style taste. My wife had a sandwich that she absolutely loved. If I'm in the area again; I'll likely stop by again. There was a young man doing it all... cooking, servicing. Luckily it was just my family and another couple there."

"Loved this hidden gem right next to the college. So many specialty coffee choices. My BLT was just what I needed after the long drive. I felt right at home. The staff is wonderful!"

"We spent a weekend in Athens and had to stop by and try out Calloway's.. Although the food took a minute to hit our table, the wait was well worth it! We enjoyed the Tacos and Rajun Cajun with a chocolate muffin for dessert.. everything was well made and flavorful.. the atmosphere was great and so were the people!"

"I go here all the time. Best home made pastries! Excellent baristas. Get the cream horn if they have it in stock!"

- William C.

"I've been here all my life and I would have never even known about this place if it weren't for wanting to try new things. I'm so glad that I did because everything was amazing!! My smoothly was a true smoothie with whipped cream, and it was at least 24oz., truly worth every penny. The deli sandwich was shockingly better than any deli sandwich I've ever had. Of course I will be returning!!"

- Santrice W.

"This place is amazing! I came here twice and one weekend just because I was so impressed the first time. I had an almond joy mocha a latte and it was fantastic! I also had a blueberry muffin, and I think that was actually the best blueberry muffin I've ever had in my life. That is not an exaggeration. I would absolutely come back just for those blueberry muffins. The second time we came back for afternoon coffee. And this time I got a plain mocha latte. This mocha was huge! I literally had to get a to-go cup because I could only drink about half of it, and it still filled up an entire small cup! I also got the classic sandwich, which was great. The atmosphere of this joint is impeccable. They played fantastic music, had great food, and the vibes were immaculate."
