Ellianos Coffee, a popular drive-thru specialty coffee brand based in the Southeast, is excited to announce that construction has begun on a brand-new location at 2303 Village Green Ct. in Albany, Georgia. This development signifies the continued expansion of the beloved drive-thru coffee brand across the Southeast and will introduce a new option for premium coffee, convenience, and community connection to the Albany area.

The franchise is being led by Bobby Underwood, a well-known figure in the Albany community. With a deep-rooted dedication to public service, Bobby served the State of Georgia as a Georgia State Trooper for 25 years and has spent the last 11 years as a trusted State Farm Agent. His commitment to enhancing daily life for residents through community development made Ellianos a natural next step.

“I was attracted to the Ellianos brand because of its strong family values and the incredible products it offers,” said Underwood. “There’s truly nothing better—hands down. We’re excited to become part of the Ellianos family and bring something special to the people of Albany.”

The new coffee shop is designed with convenience and speed in mind, featuring a double-sided drive-thru for maximum efficiency. With growing enthusiasm from local residents already evident, the project is expected to be a welcomed addition to the neighborhood.

“We felt Ellianos would be a perfect fit for this area,” Underwood added. “Since breaking ground, the response has been overwhelmingly positive, which only confirms that we made the right choice.”

Ellianos Coffee has earned a loyal following across the Southeast, known for its handcrafted espresso drinks and crave-worthy breakfast items. Popular menu favorites include the smooth and bold Signature Creations, refreshing Freezers, and their savory breakfast grit bowls—featuring creamy grits topped with eggs, cheese, and proteins like bacon or sausage. With a reputation for fast, friendly service and high-quality ingredients, Ellianos delivers a drive-thru coffee experience that keeps guests coming back.

Over the past year, Ellianos has experienced significant growth, expanding its footprint in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and North Carolina. The brand continues to seek franchisees for territories in Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, and North Carolina.
