Cafe Racer

These donuts are TO DIE FOR. We got different flavors, split them up so we can all taste them + bonus: we completed the Athens Beer Trail and ate a donut at every stop. 10/10 the best way to combine donuts + alcohol. I went back again a few months later and the flavors were updated, still delicious donuts but if they have the french toast one, GET THAT ONE. The donuts also don?t feel super heavy & although they are sugary, they certainly feel less sugary than krispy kreme.

Loved this place! The staff were all so incredibly nice and its such a cute, fun spot. The taco I got was delicious and the mocha was perfect! Highly recommend starting your day here!

This place is the shit! You get so much food for the price you pay, I got the Mile High burrito for $12 and it was so huge I took the other half home and my friend got the Tater Boy biscuit with bacon. Their service was also so great, the employees were really kind. Our coffee was only delayed by 10 minutes but they were so sweet and brought us some free doughnut holes for waiting (the lemon poppyseed and pumpkin spice are great flavors). The seating is great and very lowkey. Bonus points for whoever was on

was in the area and this place did NOT disappoint! it had a modern take on the place where you eat outside after picking up your food. and, the food itself was soo good it had a spicy unique kick with flavors such as the jalape?o cream, buffalo sauce, and a nice cheese crust. i would recommend drinking a water as the food is quite dense, helping balancing everything.

My review is only on the Pumpkin Spice Latte(iced). It is not good or passable, as other reviews noted coffee is lacking. My issue is the syrup, it's horrible. The after taste and initial sick sweetness is bad. I would caution against buying their coffee. Their current setup for Halloween, especially at night, is cool. Service is good. For better Pumpkin Spice latte, I recommend Condor Chocolates Downtown.

Really nice little coffee shop in Athens. I'm here on a Sunday morning. It's really quiet. First thing in the morning. Business starts picking up around 9:00 a.m. but they have outdoor seating and it's really friendly here.

Cafe Racer is serving the best Fried Chicken Sandwich and Fries. PERIOD I've tried countless chicken sandwiches around Athens, GA, but this one takes the crown. The chicken is juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, with a crispy exterior that adds a satisfying crunch. And don't even get me started on the fries - they're hands-down the crispiest and most delicious I've had in town. The combination of the two is absolute perfection. If you're a chicken sandwich lover like me, do yourself a favor and get to C

I don?t live in Athens but have been here three separate times when I?ve come back. This is just a well run business. Employees are competent and courteous, service is relatively quick, and the food is always great. It?s now part of my regular Athens rotation.

I've been twice. The first time one of the workers was very helpful in helping me decide on which coffee I'd prefer, she even let me taste it before pulling off and adjusted it to my liking. The second time I just got donut hole and they give you a few of each flavor, they were all tasty. Update: I went today and got the My Pleasure. It's a chicken biscuit with pepper jack cheese. It was good, however I thought I'd be getting a chicken patty instead of two chicken tenders. When I got home, I added jelly t

My daughter just had to go here so we decided to try it out. First there is a drive thru but we opted to walk up to the window. It was a chilly day and no indoor seating so we sat in our car but no complaints because we knew that up front. We both ordered the All The Way which is a sausage egg pepper jack cheese and strawberry jelly biscuit. I in addition ordered the Sugar Cookie Crumble donut and a hot Chai Latte. The biscuits were very good with just the right amount of jelly (sweet) to cheese (spicy)

Hello, we were in Athens visiting our son and were treated to our first ever gluten free donuts. What a wonderful surprise! The most amazing donut we have have ever eaten and would never had guessed they were gluten free. Absolutely the most amazing donut. We left Athens and went to Jacksonville Florida and went to a bakery (Parlor Doughnuts) that advertised they sold gluten free donuts. What a disappointment after having yours. If they had been the first gluten free donuts we sampled, we would never

3 pc chicken tenders look very interesting, also the chicken is very chewy, but the iced latte is always really good

As a busy Realtor in Athens, I appreciate the fast service and the good food at Cafe Racer! Often times I don?t have much time between appointments, so to be able to pop in and get a great breakfast or lunch is great. Thank you! Dean Bright Real Estate

We had the Cafe Racer food truck at our office for National Roofing Week and it was such a hit! We appreciated the food, service and kind people & will recommend you to all of our friends and future events! Thanks again :)

The donuts are so good! We got a half dozen mixed the first time. They were all so good, but our favorite was the cookies n cream. So the next day we got a half dozen of those. The service was quick. The workers are nice.

Food is great! This is our go to place on payday when we want to splurge on a tasty breakfast. The biscuits are fluffy with excellent fillings, and the tacos are delightful as well. I'm not a fan of the burritos, but my wife likes the vegetarian one. Whole place has a good vibe, and the service has never been anything less than perfectly friendly, if not downright cheerful!

The Mile High burrito is outstanding, as is the Mr. Cookie doughnut. Also loved that the latte had enough syrup that made it sweet, which is something many places get wrong. Only minor complaint is that they only have outdoor seating, and the patio has no heaters (that I could see). So if you come here during the winter, you may want to get it to go and eat elsewhere.

Cute little place to get food and coffee... a little on the pricey side, was hoping more of a race style atmosphere. Also if you don't like your eggs runny make sure to ask for your fried eggs to be cooked well

The drive thru was a constant flow that moved quickly. We parked and stepped up to the outside windows and was greeted with a friendly welcome. Best donuts this side of the Mississippi - and thats no hyperbole. The lavender earl Grey had that snap on the first bite and just the right hint of lavender. The Puff Daddy, hand cut potato puff donut, filled with pastry cream and topped with espresso glaze - daaaang!! Fast and friendly service.

Best donuts in Athens since Nedza's closed down. Be prepared to wait in a long line, but the donuts are worth the wait! Some might find them pricey, but they are delish! The breakfast sandwiches are fantastic as well!

I got my order and sat on the back porch which was quite nice at the new location in Athens. Got the Tater Boi biscuit which was good, but a little sloppy to eat, it fell apart. The Strawberry Pleasecake was good but I thought it was too expensive for a doughnut. I liked the filling a lot though. The Counter Culture Coffee was fantastic. I'd go next time just for the coffee.

Sad . Seems like my order was rushed, pictured is my sandwich falling apart . The bottom is soggy and seems like the biscuit is raw. The egg is a weird almost gray color . Sad to pay $7 for something that does not look appetizing and I can?t hold to eat as it?s intended to be. Update . There was a response for this review from an employee or owner requesting I message them directly. I messaged them on 9/21 and still no response. I appreciate trying to fix the issue but the let down of no response seems li

I've been eating their biscuits since they first opened in Arnoldsville. They are delicious. I finally tried The Burger the other day at their food truck at Oglethorpe Garage. It was one of the best I've ever had. The flavor and texture were perfect and it was huge.

This place is so good!!! The Doughnuts are incredible! This Lil Piggy breakfast burrito is insanely good. The Jabronie Biscuit so good. The Birria Fries is probably my favorite of everything. I drive 30 mins one way for this food. It?s just all so good. Highly recommend!

Donuts are basic with very little flavor. All you taste is the bread. Over priced for quality in my opinion. Third time attempting to get coffee/cappuccino and every time the drink was watered down.

Fresh, fast, and delicious. I had the Tater Boi w/ a hot Americano. It was top tier, seriously! I am so happy I decided to stop here instead of having our hotel's continental.

I go through the drive through at least once a week for dinner. The food is always delicious and the people are always nice. Today especially 100/10 service!

My best friend and I dropped in and had a really great experience here! She has a lot of allergies, and it can sometimes be hard to accommodate. She's been unable to have doughnuts at most places. Thankfully, the ladies working the day we dropped in were more than welcoming and extremely helpful as we tried to determine what my friend could have. She ended up able to have a doughnut, and really enjoyed it. For my part, I was curious about the doughnuts with potato flakes, and I got the apple filled one. My

Best restaurant in Athens! Best biscuits, best tacos, best burgers, matcha is amazing. Best everything, we go like three times a week. Highly recommended!

Hand made doughnuts are soft and very sweet- almost cake like, but delicious. Pricier than the standard biscuits and cappuccino but for a reason. Try the Cowboi for a spicy cream cheese option. Drive thru took 30 min but they were tentative.

treated my brother to whatever he wanted for breakfast for his birthday. He got a classic vanilla doughnut & a spicy My Pleasure biscuit. said the doughnut was very enjoyable, not dry, & fried to perfection. Perfectly sweet. biscuit was soft, not dry like Popeyes (no tea, no shade), not falling apart, the spicy chicken had a nice little kick. I got the espresso chocolate chip doughnut & All the Way biscuit no egg. I feel the same way my brother about the doughnut & biscuit. Strawberry jelly was a great ad

Delicious. Id link a picture of the birria fries but they didn?t stand a chance. I wish I knew the name of the woman taking my order because she was great. Overall great service and the food was agggggggghhhhhhhhh ??????????????????

I not only LOVE the breakfast biscuits, I also can?t get enough of the burgers!! Racer sauce comes with the fries too, but I would suggest getting an extra or two!!!

From my experience, they have the best Cubano coffee outside of Florida and a couple of bodegas in NYC. My child also loves the donuts.

Best lavender latte in Athens. I don?t even like breakfast like that, but their breakfast tacos are to die for. If this place has no fans, then I?m dead.

Pretty good. I believe this is the only drive-thru coffee place that you can get biscuits. Wish they were open past 2pm. Definitely coming back.

Sometimes hard to find a good seat so we bring our own chairs just in case and ?tailgate.? Line can get long but moves pretty quickly. Food and service are great! Main problem is now other people know it?s good!

Cafe Racer never misses, it's the best breakfast in all of Athens! The sometimes longer drive thru wait is well worth it.

This place is not good at all. The coffee tastes like burnt folgers that's been sitting out. I'm a coffee aficionado. I make my own espresso, and buy coffees outside of the house all the time. I am graceful with coffees, but I couldn't even finish this. You have to pay for every pump of syrup, each drink doesn't even come with a base amount of pumps like 2 pumps for a 20 oz, etc. So if you say you want a caramel mocha, be sure you tell them the amount of pumps (probably extra if you actually want to taste i

If you are looking for the best, most authentic tasting matcha latte, look no further. This is the best matcha I?ve had in Athens!

Really neat spot to grab coffee and a doughnut! Seems like a shipping container turned into a walk up order type restaurant. Grabbed a half dozen of their potato doughnuts, delicious!! Also has drive thru!

Stopped on the way out of Athens. I tried the Dayman (ah-ah-ah) and was instantly transformed into a master of karate and friendship for everyone. I seriously think about the biscuit more than I should and try to replicate it at home.

Such a great spot, their donuts are some of the best I?ve ever had and a must get on every visit. 10/10

Wife and I decided to go through the drive through here one day. She ordered a biscuit, chocolate espresso donut, and a water. I ordered the Little Piggy Burrito and a hot Macha. It was certainly on the high side at $32 for the two of us, but the food and drinks were exquisite. The burrito was much larger than anticipated, which was great. Filled me up. The donut had a slight crunch on the outside which was nice and the chocolate/espresso topping added to the delight. I can't remember which biscuit she got,

Great food, staff are always kind and patient, service is quick, love the outdoor seating area

This is our regular breakfast spot. No it's not the cheapest BUT the service is reliable and the place is easy as heck to get in too. Love the Tater Taco and The Nino but this place i think is a good spot to go if you wanna post your breakfast too bc the signs and building itself are awesome

I don?t even enjoy regular donuts all that much but let me tell you: these are AMAZING!! Once you?ve had these any other donut will pale in comparison. And the service is unbelievably quick and courteous. Don?t be afraid of a line in the drive-through because they will move you through so fast you barely come to a stop. Absolutely delicious and worth the drive ? and their egg biscuits are yummy too.

1st time going. Super fast service. Friendly people. Great food! Was a little unsure of the strawberry jelly on a sausage/egg/pepper jack biscuit but it was very good. Doughnuts were food too. Will definitely be back 10/10!

I?ve been 3 times since the W Broad St location opened, and I?d give each visit an A+ for food and service. I?ve tried biscuits, tacos, burritos, and of course the donuts?everything has tasted great. My egg-allergic child and I especially appreciate the egg-free donut option (please please keep one available if your flavors rotate). Service has been quick and friendly every time. Y?all are doing a great job, keep it up!!

My first time in Athens. Great town! Stopped at Cafe Racer to try since it is close to the AirBnb. The person taking the order for a latte was quite nice but whoever the woman with spiked hair crew-cut, and legs tattoo taking payment at the drive through, is enough for me to never return. She spent a good 5 mins chatting with the car in front of me after the order had been delivered, full of laughs and no doubt a social visit. I pulled up to a sour face, no greeting, and she was quite put off when I asked f

These folks are so friendly and worked their @$$e$ off this morning. The drive thru went like a well oiled machine. Their potato puff donut holes are like no other donut I've tried. The flavors are awesome, they are very light yet sense at the same time... hard to describe, go try them. I also had a biscuit - the Bad Becky - and it was solidly good. I'm so glad Cafe Racer has opened!

Ate here for the first time today and will definitely be back! Food was amazing! I got a biscuit and my gf tried a burrito. We were both extremely happy. And the iced coffee was one of the best I?ve had from a breakfast place. 10/10

Delicious food and coffee was great and great customer service! Not a long wait and everything was hot! I purchased the My Pleasure biscuit which had fried chicken, egg with pepper jack cheese between a homemade biscuit - it was on point! Priced reasonably and definitely will be my go-to!

As soon as we heard Cafe Racer was coming to Athens, we wanted them on our Preferred Vendors List! Kat and her team have served amazing food for many events at Live Wire Athens. They continue to refine their catering menu and their doughnuts are always unique and on point. We highly recommend booking their food truck for your next event!

If you?re searching for the tastiest breakfast bites, I?d recommend the All-the-way biscuit, fluffed and stuffed donut, and the tater taco (add a tendie!), Cafe Racer has it all. And if you?re keen on a proper coffee bean, their PERC (Savannah, GA) coffee selection will satisfy your discerning caffeine craving. All that (and a bag of chips) paired with a friendly staff makes the wait on Gameday soooo worth the trip.

I have been a long time fan of cafe racers location in Crawford but have been eager to try the Athens location since it opened. Just went this morning and they exceeded expectations in every way (and my expectations were high). The service was unbelievably fast while also still personal and friendly. The food is as great as it?s ever been if not even slightly better. I don?t have one critique. From beginning to end the experience was perfection and I can?t wait to go back. I would also like to give the sta

What they lack in "atmosphere" they more than make up for with food. The biskies we've had were all delicious and filling. The burgers were the same. And their donuts? Well they're worth the little extra you pay over other don't places. They handle the drive up service well even when they're really busy. Give em a try!

It was drizzling rain outside and the only seating is outside with little cover. We found two seats that kept us out of the rain until it started to blow. It was still nice except for the loud blower motor on the inflatable waving man. The servers were very patient as I placed my order and brought our treats out to us quickly. The biscuit with bacon and jelly was delicious, but the donut holes were chewy which is not my preference. The holes were served in a cup for coffee drinks which makes sense, but the

Excellent food. Decent coffee. I thought they served 1000 faces and they may but my last cup there was pretty harsh so that could have changed. The All the Way and the Ni?o tacos are my go to.

Would love to give more stars but this past experience makes me not want to go back. I arrived in the drive thru a little before 10:15 and did not get out until almost 10:40. In the line I got to the order box and waited for someone to come up on the order box to place the order. No one said anything and then I saw someone taking orders from cars so I waited and he finished the car in front of me and then disappeared. Cars started moving up so I moved up and I get to the front and they ask me to pay $24 and

I just came from the gym a about an hour ago and was looking for some dinner before I got back to my hotel and just curiously stopped at the a light in Athens and saw this place, it was the best decision I?ve ever made the food was par excellence the service was great and the atmosphere beautiful I would recommend you visit. If anyone know Keith Lee personally let him know to give them a rating to up their sales and target audience. ??Jason

Stopped by here the other day after reading/hearing good things. Found the service to be good/quick and the food was solid. But the prices were exorbitant. We got two drinks, two biscuits, and a donut and after leaving a gratuity for the staff we had spent $30. That's absurd, and it's highly doubtful that we'll return.

Stopped by on my way to work this morning and was in a bit of a time crunch, happy to say the staff was very friendly and efficient in getting my food to me. The ?All The Way? biscuit and the iced mocha did not disappoint one bit; they were absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend paying them a visit if you?re in the Athens area!

I have spent a fairly large amount of time and money at the Crawford location and food truck over the years, and I have been counting down the days until the Athens location opened. It has truly exceeded my expectations in every way, and I have made several trips since the opening. Normally, you expect there to be some miscues and bumps in a restaurant's early days, but from day one, the food has been excellent, the staff has been incredibly friendly and kind, and the service has been quicker than even hope

Super helpful staff knew all about the food and helped find an amazing taco for the anti-egg diner. Fabulous donuts. Crazy prices but hopefully that?s because we?re supporting something really great. I love that I don?t have to go inside a building, but why is every single dining patio in Athens on a major road or in a parking lot? Coffee: best coffee ever? Cubano and iced mocha were actually worth $5.

Cafe Racer love you guys. Went in drive thru on way to work. Easy fast but great biscuit and donnut. Go check them out.

Such a cool place! Food is top notch. Very friendly staff and love the chairs they have that you can set up anywhere!

Has the best biscuits I have ever eaten. I go back almost every week, and it has been consistently fantastic. The Dayman is my favorite, but most are good.

The biscuits are really good and have some flavorful options, but the donuts are average and way overpriced. The pricing is higher like a brunch, yet they're open on early mornings, yet they're closed on Mondays, so I'm not yet really sure how this cafe fits into my routine.

Killer breakfast. Biscuits, table, burritos, donuts, and coffee are all wonderful. The price is with it!

Wow the chicken biscuit is amazing!! Also great service!

Ugh I?m bummed I?m moving away but just wanna say this is my new favorite place. Went the morning of gradation this semester and was running a tad late - ordered so much food and coffee for visitors and cafe racer came through with the full order so quickly. V impressed. And god the biscuits are heavenly?

The "all the way" biscuit is a must have. We love all the bold fun donut flavors as well! Chai spice crumble was amazing!

Dang! Now every morning my husband and myself look at each other and say ?Cafe Racer? ?! I can send him on the quick journey when I?m getting ready for work and he?s back within 10 minutes with my biscuit since we live near by! (Did I mention I typically don?t even like biscuits) Not only is Cafe Racer fast it is quality! You can tell that the employees are killing it and making breakfast with love! 10/10! Thank you for bringing something so fantastic to our side of town!

Got a ?My Pleasure? biscuit, a Samoa donut, and a ?This Little Piggy? breakfast burrito. It was SO good and the service was friendly. This has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Athens.

BEST DONUTS IN GEORGIA!!! Unique flavors, vegan options, the best staff! 5 stars!!!!

Best place I have ever been in Athens. Ive come multiple days in a row because it is THAT GOOD. drinks are delicious, donuts are incredible, and biscuits are the best I?ve ever had.

Glad that they are open! Excellent breakfast tacos and doughnut holes. Drip coffee, while decent, isn't to my liking, so now I'll just stick to their espresso (which is always excellent, and to my liking!)

I tried it for the first time today and the food and service were amazing! I got the mile high burrito, and it was worth every cent. It was filled to the brim and amazing. As well, their chai latte passes with flying colors.

Every other donut place serves either disgustingly sweet donuts that are more like cupcakes or premade frozen donuts bought from a large supplier which is why every other donut place tastes the same. These are unique potato donuts made the hard way in house. Awesome. There should be more restaurants like cafe racer.

I love the new building! Their service is excellent. The employees are kind and personable. The donuts are delicious and the flavors change often. And the coffee is also amazing!

Some of the best food i have had in athens in 24 years and that's saying A LOT because the food quality in athens is HIGH. Bonus: the owner and his family are good people! They work so hard, have huge hearts, and deserve it all.

I was super excited about cafe Racer coming to Athens. But when I got to try it. The biscuit wasn't even cooked all the way and the donuts were dry. It was a complete epic fail, unfortunately.

One of my favorite places in Athens. Quick and delicious breakfast. Can't wait to try their new burgers coming in February

Update: XP earned. Happy 1 Year! It's hot as hell out here and these employees are killing it. My husband and I are huge fans of the original Crawford location. The fact that they were able to hold true to the aesthetics of the original location but make it look so damn classy is ????. The neon lights are a nice touch. The biskies were tasty and we look forward to watching as they gain more XP and improve upon this already phenomenal start.

First time & my last. A bit pricey for frozen biscuits. Got the becky and the, all the way both were hard as a rock. Couldn't eat them at all

Got in the drive-thru line at 10:27 and had our biscuits and donuts at 10:50. Faster than we expected! Food was delicious as usual.

I went through the drive-through. This was the 1st time I tried this place out for a quick breakfast and was pleasantly surprised with good quality food and fast service.
