I ended up seeking out a location closer to where we were staying the next day because I couldn't stop thinking about how good the egg nog latte was. I only wish we had more time in this town, so I could've tried one of everything off the menu! I travel often, so I feel qualified to say this is one of the best coffee shops I've been to.

The service is always pleasant, and the cashier this morning (6/21/26) was very friendly.

This used to be called the Ellijay CoffeeHouse House, but is now Mountain Town Coffee at Hemlock Bazaar (hopefully Yelp will accept my edits), and it has a great vibe. There's a back entrance and courtyard which we came through. The decoration is wacky- I don't know how else to describe it. It's old school and nostalgic but strange. On the other side of the wall there's an entire book store that is part of the business. It had one of the most impressive collections I've seen in a bookstore in awhile. It wasn't huge but it had a great variety of genres, and a lot of intriguing titles I hadn't heard of but sought to remember for later. The man working the register was a charm- he told us how Ellijay has their own tv production (which they were playing on an old school tv), a special Bigfoot podcast and more. Lastly, the coffee was, of course, delightful. I had a latte with a little bit of spice in it that was perfect to warm a person up in the cool early spring air when we were there. Had we known this would be such a cool stop I think we would have bargained even more time to just hang and enjoy the atmosphere. I think it could be a good place to sit and do work or read and there's lots of spaces to sit so it's not too loud.

You can taste the difference in the quality of ingredients -- everything feels intentional, elevated, and made with care. On top of that, the space itself is just stunning, with a massive picture window that offers the most beautiful mountain views while you enjoy your treat. It's locally owned and operated, and you can feel the heart behind it in every detail. And the service? Pure Southern hospitality at its finest -- warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. You're treated like a regular from the moment you walk in. A true gem and easily the best bakehouse around. Just be sure to get there early -- they sell out every single day (for good reason!).

I was super anxious to try this place because I'd waited over a year for them to open, and then…read moresince they have odd hours from 10 am to "sold out", it was hard to catch them open. My husband and I stopped by today and the only sweets they had for breakfast was the cinnamon roll, the cinnamon biscuit and the blueberry lemon sconce. It was $19 for all three! We walked down to the Red Rooster for coffee and ate it there, but my cinnamon roll was INCREDIBLY sweet with a lot of extra sugar, and the blueberry sconce was burnt a bit on the bottom. My husband did enjoy his cinnamon biscuit, but I thought it was a bit tough. I may go back to try the other desserts to take home for later, but I probably won't stop for a breakfast pastry again. I'm my opinion, the pastries at The Southern Creamery in Fairmount are much better, and they are open all day, evenings and weekends.

Another absolute must-visit when you're in Ellijay…read more Let me start with the food -- because wow. By far some of the freshest and most flavorful apple pies I've ever had. Not "good for a farm market"... just flat-out amazing. The kind of pie you immediately start thinking about on the drive home. Their produce selection is equally impressive. We're talking everything from purple carrots to vegetables I didn't even know I needed in my life until I saw them. On top of that: homemade candies, jars of jam with flavor combinations I never would have imagined, and yes -- chow chow. If you've never had chow chow, do yourself a favor and try it. Game changer. But what truly makes this place special is the people. The ladies at the register were older, sweet, hilarious, and full of personality. One of them even flirted with me -- I had to tell her, "You can't handle this ride, grandma!" The entire exchange had me laughing the rest of the visit. In the back, a group of women were playing mahjong, just enjoying life, laughing, and clearly at home in the space. That energy carried throughout the whole market. It's the kind of place that feels lived in, loved, and genuinely warm. Even the guy outside in the parking lot collecting carts, casually smoking a cigarette, was one of the chillest people I've met. Everyone there just seemed... happy. Comfortable. Real. This place put a real smile on my face. Not because it's flashy or fancy -- but because it's authentic. Good food, good people, good energy. I already can't wait to go back. If you're in Ellijay and you don't stop here, you're doing the trip wrong.
