    This was a true treasure of a find in the quaint downtown Ellijay. My friends and I wanted to stop for a coffee and the trip completely changed when we stopped here, in such a good way. 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.

    Great environment to seat and read, pastries are delightful, and the staff is super kind and great when asking recommendations.

    A great place to grab a quick cup or to wind down! This has the perfect coffee shop vibe with lounge areas and plenty of seating. Service is prompt and the staff is super friendly and efficient. Highly recommend dropping by for a latte!

    Stopped by while on a little road trip and found this great little coffee spot! The service was fantastic, and the drinks were both delicious and reasonably priced. I got a vanilla oat milk latte and an Asiago bagel, and it was perfect! Definitely recommend stopping by! It's attached to a cozy bookstore, and they also sell candles and soaps.

    We needed an afternoon pick-me-up and this coffee shop is around the corner from the stretch of downtown shops. Great location and surprisingly never-ending space. There is the main space where you order food/drinks and shop local goods. However, if you go to the back, you will see there are other rooms to relax and sip in. One is bright, cheery, and would be good for hunkering down to work. The other had a kid toy area and some cozy seating as well as some books to pick up and peruse. The woman at the counter was lovely. She was welcoming, funny, and super helpful with the expansive menu. SO many flavor options for coffees and the menu was highly affordable as well. There are a lot of tea options, too. We ended up ordering: -Two cold brews (one with oat milk and one with sugar-free white mocha flavoring). Some notes of chocolate in it. The mocha flavoring in the second drink heightened it and wasn't too glaringly sweet. -One large, 20 oz. smoothie (they have several flavors but you can mix-and-match for no upcharge). Our kids were splitting this and decided on strawberry, mango, and pineapple. It was a tad runnier than they were used to, but the kids guzzled it down....so it must have been good! We will definitely come back here when in town next time.

    Cute little coffee shop in Elijah, great customer service, good selection and a ton of room to sit and converse.

    Great coffee, excellent ambiance I stopped in for a lavender latte and donut to start my Friday off right. The employees are kind and welcoming.

    What a treat

    Hello to the most delightful coffee shop experience I've had in a very long time. We went here twice in the same day it was such a treat. The staff make this place. Welcoming, diverse, kind and charismatic. They greet you and engage in a friendly and authentic way. Love them. The space is certainly a bit run down (pretty sure some of the chairs are from a wedding banquet that happened in 1980) but in a home away from home way. Plenty of places (and rooms even) to get social or quiet and cozy. Chairs, couches and stools. Games in multiple books. Gender neutral bathrooms. The pastries looked so good and were even inclusive- from gluten free to vegan, they had it all. Lots of other snacks and some fun Knick knacks for kids and adults alike (ex- toys and soaps). Stellar find overall.

    We stopped by Ellijay Coffeehouse at the end of our vacation, as we left town. We all wished that we had visited earlier in our trip! I had an iced pumpkin latte with almond milk, which was so good! I was so excited to find a pumpkin latte during summer. My husband had a ginger peach tea, which was just sweet enough, but not too sweet. We all had a croissant and I enjoyed an incredible warmed pumpkin-cream cheese muffin (must-have if you like pumpkin). Not only were the food and drinks amazing, so was the service. The barista at the counter was so friendly and humorous. He was also super helpful and was the one who recommended the muffin. I wish I would've gotten his name, as he provided awesome service with a great attitude. This coffee shop is a gem. We can't wait to return on our next trip to Ellijay!

    Another cozy room

    Wow. As our vacation was ending we stopped here to get a coffee for the long drive home. This coffeehouse has the best layout & vibes I've ever seen. And the coffee I ordered was superb! I got a hot latte with cinnamon, vanilla, & honey. It was truly excellent. If this coffee house were in my home town, it'd put all the others to shame.

    Great service and people working hard here. I can't wait to come back. This place has a delicious and short list of sandwiches and a long selection of coffee. The general feel is a crunch safer place to be!

    such a cozy little coffee shop with delicious drinks, not too sugary like the big name coffee shops. service was very good as well. there was a little small business market going on in the back that was very fun to see as well. highly recommend!

    Rustic decor.

The coffee... even without real cream, it was delicious. The corned beef hash was unique in that it was cooked with small chunks of onion a top a bed of breakfast potatoes. It was really tasty and not too salty. My eggs were extra large and cooked to my liking. My husband liked the cheesesteak with amazing wedge cut potatoes. He would get it again. My teenager got the pork chop and eggs. She doesn't like pork and therefore doesn't eat it so I'm not even going to try to write anything about it other than it looked thin but good. The service was great- she brought refills when needed and checked on us frequently. We'll come back to because I really want to try the Vietnamese coffee and there are definitely other intriguing menu items. Our only complaint is the parking situation has gotten worse in downtown Ellijay so if the weather is at questionable, we may not make the long trip from Pickens County.

Oat milk or half and half were available. -No plastic knives for the cream cheese. We used wooden coffee stirrers which was fine but clumsy to navigate. -Not sure why reviews are so bad for bagels because they were fluffy with just the right amount of chew (close to NY style). I will say that after it being toasted, the bagel was not soft enough the day after to eat. But day-of, it was great. -Small seating area typical of little cafes. A few outdoor tables as well. -Very friendly service. Accommodating and welcoming to our child circus -the cheesy bagel isn't the typical Asiago most places carry, but an actual cheddar blend. Yummy.
