Their menu is full of tempting flavors, and they even offer non-coffee options like teas and chai. The café is in a very cute spot in downtown Helen, within walking distance of all the shops. The staff is wonderful--Joey helped us out, and another team member went out of their way to be accommodating and informative about my latte (which I really appreciated because of my health needs). Great staff, very clean, and seriously tasty drinks and snacks. Highly recommend checking them out!

Its also a great place to nab souvenirs for tourists like myself. They have a little of everything from coffee mugs, hats, high quality t-shirts, coloring books for kids, stuffed toys, pens, shot glasses, photo keepsake books and much more. I had a good time shopping here and got a small souvenir for my trip. I had already gotten my souvenirs a few years ago but it's always no girl can have too many coffee mugs...I got mine in tie dye silicone....I think their prices are very competitive for the quality of items that they offer. A definite stop for anyone visiting the area...

We snuck in here to look for a snow globe for my daughter she always brings one back home from every place we travel to as a memento of the trip.

The shop has a myriad of items ranging from Knickknacks to apparel to toys. On a regular day you could spend a good amount of time in here just looking at all the items on both floors. I definitely recommend a visit here if you're in town!

This is a shop you can buy souvenirs and also find out about the background of when Wallenda came here to walk across the highest point. Very cool spot to check out. They do not have restrooms here. They tell u to go down the street. There are restrooms and another beautiful view of Tallulah Point and Tallulah Gorge. Check it out and follow the signs.

Roadside Attraction Alert:…read more I loved the time I spent here for lots of reasons but honestly the view of the gorge from here isn't that impressive in the least, but it is free. You might as well grab a cold bottle of pop in the store on the first floor then head up the stairs and buy a square of fudge for a buck then walk out on the upper porch grab a stool and enjoy the view, if you have a pair of binoculars or a telescope you might have a chance of seeing something amazing otherwise enjoy the pop and cool breeze. Famed tightrope walker Karl Wallenda, founder of The Flying Wallendas, probably got the best view ever when he crossed the Gorge on a high-wire in 1970 or did J.A. St. John also known as Professor Leon, might have been the first to high-wire the gorge in 1886 other sources say a Professor Bachman walked the Gorge in 1883, regardless who did it or who did it first these guys had big balls. I won't claim to know the history of this place but there's no doubt the structure is nostalgic. It feels like the entire collection of buildings hangs precariously on the edge of a cliff (you must experience the upper porch to get the full effect). I think this would be a great location to set up a zip line across the gorge, now that's taking this collage of oddities to the next level. It's unbelievable that in this day and age that everything here is free except for the merchandise which clearly shows the lack of entrepreneurism but hey not everyone is a capitalist. It's a must stop if you're in the area if only to check in on YELP - I'm joking it's really like no other place on earth and the lady reading her book upstairs for hours on end makes some mighty fine fudge...
