The Athens Rooster

This is a wonderful place, I’m so glad they opened in Athen’s. The food is delicious and the drinks are tasty and lovingly crafted. All the staff are incredibly kind. The Athen’s Rooster has the rare quality of being both chic and irrefutably local.

The Athens Rooster is the true gem of Athens, NY. It’s such a cute place to grab breakfast. It seems like a lot of locals love to eat here. The prices are amazing- this coming from someone who brunches in NYC. It’s street parking but Athens doesn’t have a lot of traffic so it’s easy to find a spot.

We found this place purely by accident. It was lunchtime, and this small inviting restaurant appeared before us! We had the Sausage & Kale panini (the winner!), and the mushroom and wild rice soup (which was very tasty but could have used a dash of black pepper). The staff were all really nice, and mask compliance was 100%. We took the order to the waterfront park for a perfect picnic.

The cutest cafe in the Hudson Valley. We came for breakfast and had the tastiest breakfast burritos, oatmeal and avocado toast. And their baked goods are out of this world (the espresso muffin is amazing!). Great coffee, too! Can’t wait to come back for another meal!

I am so happy this place opened in Athens. My fave are breakfast burrito, whitefish salad toast and avocado toast. I can’t wait to try lunches. Highly recommend this gem and service is exceptional. Thank you! Wishing lots of success and happy customers.
