Best I ever had hands down it was flavorful without being to sweet and no funky aftertaste. The ambiance is relaxed with comfy sofa, chairs and a nice dog who is sweet but not in your face. They were very knowledgeable of their products. I am picky and will only rate 5 star establishments. This has my approval. I look forward to my next visit.

They also have coffee, tea, and hot chocolate that you can try and also buy and take home! I purchased a cute hello kitty tote bag and some golden milk turmeric powder to try! The best part is that my purchase helps feed the cats. The owner there is a wonderful lady, full of passion for these cats. I never seen anything like it! Head there on a Saturday morning after hitting the farmers market and it's a great way to destress and pet some cute kitties and drink some tea or coffee. Try not to miss it, just walk into the bottega store and walk in and you'll find the stairs to go up!

This was my first time visiting Helen, Georgia. I came here to visit a friend of mine, and we came…read moreto spend the day here. My friend recommended going to this restaurant and I'm so glad that we did. Why you were waiting on a table as the dining room is rather small you can pick up something from their bakery. They had lots of delicious treats. I did have the cheese danish, which was amazing. For lunch, I started with the tomato basil soup probably one of the best I've ever had. I got the grilled ham and Swiss with potato chips. I definitely would recommend this place for breakfast or lunch however be prepared to wait for the good food. Julie was our server and she was very attentive and professional.

After he started preparing the order, it took no more than 5 minutes.

This cosy, comfortable cafe is part-bakery, part-restaurant, and has a beautiful patio for warmer days. The front of house team was all female the day we went, and worked together as a powerhouse to get through the busy lunchtime rush. We were seated pretty quickly at the bar area, so we were able to watch the kitchen at work. The team all seemed so organized and efficient - like watching masters at work! Food and drink menu options are delightful, and we really enjoyed the quiche (seasonal vegetables) and the insanely delicious beet and citrus salad. Portions are very generous and food comes out quickly. The server talked us through wine options by the glass, gave tasters and great recommendations. We later learned that Mother supplies bread to other restaurants in the area - no surprise, it was fantastic. Will be returning every time we're in the area.
