    Iced Latte w/ Salted Caramel Cold Foam
    Jenna U.

    Barrel House Coffee in downtown Ball Ground is such a great little spot! My favorite drink is their barrel aged iced latte with salted caramel cold foam -- it's absolutely delicious and something you can't find just anywhere. They have a really tasty selection of specialty coffees. Everything I've tried has been great. The coffee shop itself is super cute, a cozy area to sit and relax, which makes it a perfect place to meet up with friends or just enjoy a good coffee. Definitely one of my favorite local coffee shops!

    The ambience was cool, and the staff was very nice. I wasn't a huge fan of the barrel whiskey coffee, maybe it was that it just overpowered the flavor of the drink I got, I can't remember what it was called but it had white mocha and toasted marshmallow flavoring. I would be willing to try it again, but if you're not a big fan of whiskey or whiskey flavoring this might not be the place for you. However, I will definitely try it out again, it may have just been that I didn't get the right thing.

    Love this place. Drove 30 minutes for a cup of coffee, hot chocolate, and coffee beans. Well worth the trip. Arrived a few minutes before they opened. By the time they opened the line was about 20 people long. Good selection of baked goods, but as the name implies, the highlight is the bourbon barrel aged coffee, both beans and drinks. The aroma is heaven. If you are within an hour drive, do yourself a favor and make the trip!

    3.5 stars very trendy and fun environment, friendly staff, but would recommend not getting barrel aged if you're not a fan of bourbon. And if you don't know if you're a fan, you probably aren't. We didn't know if we liked bourbon but now know we don't. Update to owner - unfortunately we were driving through town so we didn't stay but would just suggest recommending baristas when they say "barrel aged or not" that if someone isn't familiar with barrel aged bourbon soaked coffee to say if you don't like it we can make it with our other beans. Something like that.

    I've been in here a couple times when visiting a friend in the area. The service is friendly, and the coffee is delicious. If you're not a fan of the barrel aged coffee they do have non barrel aged coffee as well. I haven't sat inside here other than to wait for my coffee, but the interior is clean and bright. It's definitely something I look forward to on my visits!

    Easily my favorite coffee shop! The staff is always amazingly friendly, and the coffee is 10/10! The outdoor area is so cute, we love to sit outside and just relax! Highly recommended this spot!

    Bourbon Aged Latte
    Katherine V.

    This place is definitely one of the best coffees I've ever had! We made a stop here on our way from Jasper to Atlanta and we are so happy we did! The coffee flavor was so unique with their beans being aged on bourbon barrels, it was truly delicious on its own or in a handcrafted drink you could still taste the amazing flavors! We also tried one of their pastries and we loved it, White Chocolate Lavender scone, the aroma when you eat it lets you know how fresh and good it is, you can even see the lavender flower on the mix so its the real deal! The place looks so nice too, the decor with the barrels is all part of the concept! Lastly their staff/baristas were so friendly and helpful in helping us what to order and they were super nice to my son who wouldn't stop asking questions lol! This place is worth the stop when you are on the road :)

    VOLCANICA 7/5/24…read more EAST AFRICAN COFFEE STATUS & OUTLOOK Based on the USDA's latest outlook, Africa accounts for 11-12% of the world's total coffee production, including 10.5% of the Robusta crop and 12.5% of the 23/24 Arabica crop. There are 54 countries in Africa, but only about a dozen produce coffee. While Ethiopia accounts for most of it, the high-quality specialty grade Arabica coffee production is limited to 6-7 East African countries, including some very small countries with problematic histories. Located in the equatorial coffee belt, East African coffee benefits from ideal coffee growing conditions, including volcanic soil, high altitude, climate, access to fresh water and tradition. Conscientious processing, disciplined coops and dedicated smallholder farms also play a role. Coffee is a subjective topic and while good coffee can be found throughout the equatorial belt, the acid rich East African coffees are recognized as the world's most distinctive. The traditional varieties and grade from Ethiopia (Yirgacheffe) and Kenya (south-central highlands) are particularly noteworthy and often compared. While some would include 100% authentic Kona (miniscule production, hard to get & subject to fraud), the best Tanzanian and the crazy expensive Geisha (Panama & elsewhere) among the best, the coffee from Kenya and Ethiopia is widely viewed as the world's most consistent, distinctive and recognizable. Regardless of source, it is important to note that countries producing the most distinguished specialty coffee also produce average or worse coffee. In a way, East African coffees are like finalists in a beauty contents, it's hard to pick the winner. The contest is also dynamic, i.e., this year's crop winner could be next year's loser. While the demand for specialty coffee continues to grow, small coffee farmers have been burdened by an exploitive value chain. Living on a few dollars a day, Africa's small coffee farmers have had little incentive to produce the low yielding crop. If impoverished farmers do not get a bigger piece of the value chain's pie, higher prices and a shortage of high-quality coffee seem likely. FINDING REPUTABLE RETAIL ROASTERS When purchasing country of origin coffee, the quality will vary by crop year, terroir, region, sub-region, botanical variety, grade, processing, storage, logistics, roast and freshness. Excluding effective auctions, higher prices may not guarantee a better tasting coffee. Storage and freshness are key because coffee does not age well. Indeed, assuming the flavor has not been compromised by logistics and storage, fresh green coffee has a 6-12-month shelf life while fresh roasted whole bean has a 30-day window. As the importer of these potentially fine coffees, IT IS THE RETAIL ROASTER WHO DETERMINES THE QUALITY AND FRESHNESS OF OUR COFFEE. Finding a reputable retail roaster with good customer service, a good menu of single origin coffee and consistency is a Herculean task. Given the limited shelf life, always looming new crop and roaster inconsistency, the ongoing journey never ends. Organic, free trade, direct trade, sustainable, certified, relationships and consistent buying all make sense, but coffee that shoots the lights out on the cupping table is really what the specialty coffee game is about. While there are exceptions, roaster websites are not generally well developed or organized and many do not disclose all the information required to make an informed purchase, including the origin, roast, ounces per bag, processing, etc. Some lack contact information while others fail to follow up on inquiries. Many also use a poor choice of colors and fonts that make the websites difficult to read. Fortunately, many roasters specializing in East African coffee provide more detail and organized information, including the granular source, varietal, processing, roast and roast date. Blends are being hyped by roasters and while they might be relevant to coffee drinkers, they are not very relevant to coffee lovers that already know what they want. Affordability is another issue because there are high-quality single origin coffees that are affordable and offer real value. Indeed, many blends are priced higher than good single origin coffee. VOLCANICA EAST AFRICAN COFFEE: As Good As It Gets Volcanica is currently offering nine East African single origin coffees, including the Kenya AA (Nyeri Hill Estate), the Ethiopia Yirgacheffe and the Tanzania Peaberry (Nitin Estate, Ngorongoro Crater). All are washed and roasted light or medium light. In addition to being among the highest quality East African coffee on the market today, they offer real value. Indeed, Volcanica's 16 oz pricing is less than what many of their competitors are charging for 12 oz. Volcanica's website is also developed, organized and provides granular details appreciated by coffee lovers. JBC has also done a good job with their website development and disclosure. I have chased
