STATESBORO - 

Nothing fuels a morning, or a late night study session, quite like the perfect cup of coffee. But with so many local coffee shops surrounding Georgia Southern, where should you go for the best coffee?

We sipped our way through Statesboro's most beloved coffee spots. Some are hidden gems while others are cult favorites, but we were able to bring you the ultimate ranking. Whether you're an espresso connoisseur, a latte lover, or just looking for a new study spot, this list has your next coffee fix covered. 

First on our list, Three Tree Coffee Roasters. 

Quality: With a wide range of menu items filled with specialty coffees and drinks, our team decided to try three different types of iced lattes. Each latte had a smooth and rich consistency. The flavor of each coffee was more on the sweeter side than bitter. The quality was pretty solid and comparable to other great coffee places. We scored it with 3.5/5 coffee beans. 

Atmosphere: The shop has a warm and inviting ambiance, with rustic decor and a cozy seating arrangement. Seating inside is limited with not a ton of space, but does have a nice outdoor area for nice and sunny days. Whether you’re looking for a quiet place to study or a spot to catch up with friends, Three Tree provides a comfortable and welcoming environment. We scored it with 3/5 coffee beans.

Price: On the slightly higher end, but reasonable considering the quality of ingredients and craftsmanship. A standard iced latte runs around $5-$6, which is comparable to many specialty coffee shops. We scored it with 2.5/5 coffee beans.

Location: The location is great—very close to campus, making it an easy stop for students and faculty. Parking can be tricky during peak hours, but the shop is accessible for a quick grab-and-go order. We scored it with 4/5 coffee beans.

Customer Service: The baristas were incredibly nice and passionate about what they do. Everyone we interacted with was super friendly and welcoming. If you ask, they will take the time to explain menu options and even offer recommendations based on your preferences. We scored it with 5/5 coffee beans.

Overall Thoughts: Three Tree Coffee Roasters is a solid choice if you're looking for great coffee and a comfortable space to hang out or study. The drinks are high-quality, the staff is very friendly and the location is super convenient for Georgia Southern students. 

Prices are a little on the higher side, but for the experience and taste, it's worth it. Whether you're stopping by for a quick caffeine fix or settling in for a long study session, Three Tree won’t disappoint. Overall Score is 3.5/5 coffee beans.
