Coffee Shop No. 475 Blue Market 42…read moreDahlonega, GA March 10, 2025 Blue Market 42 was my last coffee stop after strolling through downtown Dahlonega, Georgia with my husband. The cafe looks like a little house on the corner, but the inside has been beautifully updated into a large open area with natural lighting gleaming through the windows. The focal point is a long beautiful counter. It reminded me of counters you would have seen in grocery stores, pharmacies, or 5 and dime stores in the early 20th century. The other things to catch my eye were bthe table game set up, merchandise from local vendors, games scattered throughout, high top tables in the back, a big comfy looking couch and local art. I got the sense that Blue Market 42 was more than just coffee, but a place to socialize, relax, and to be part of the community. Blue Market 42 serves Jittery Joe's Coffee. I really enjoyed my cortado. My husband really enjoyed the spinning tops on the table. Enjoying life one cortado at a time!

Something about the Picnic Cafe name made me think the food would be a little more homemade, cute in presentation, etc. but that wasn't quite the case. Our food was served on styrofoam, the coffee drinks were a-okay (from a machine) and the jelly was served in packets (I'm not sure why but I really pictured sweet local jams or something that would tie back to the name and feel of the business). The bakery case offered croissants, cookies, etc. I didn't try any of those for myself so I can't speak to them. They offer a handful of small tables both inside and on the front patio overlooking the square.  The service was great - I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that here.

The decor is beautifully nature-inspired and the staff super friendly and knowledgeable. They have a cute little merch section and comfy seating throughout. I stuck around for the live music, the Threadbare Skivvies, and it was fantastic! The band was talented & there is ample seating. For $10, you can make a reservation for your own little table. Feel free to belly up to the bar and order a healthy drink. I ordered the Forest Tonic with ginger and fresh mint. It was delish!! It was also great to leave a lice music venue without a hangover, if you know what I mean. Lol I highly recommend Canopy & the Roots.

And just as well as the two baristas were having trouble keeping up with the flow. While I sat with my coffee and laptop, I watched the queue grow by 7 or 8 folks. And that's without a drivethrough! Comfortable seating, good wifi and my coffee was decent. Inside and outside seating. And unlike the other coffee shop I visited this morning, I didn't feel like I was "taking up" a table for 90 minutes with my laptop. [Review 20360 overall - 693 in Georgia - 1338 of 2023.]

The lady at the front was extremely rude, not sure if she had a bad morning or what but we walked out and went on about our Dahlonega visit. I was very shocked and disappointed in her attitude, tone and behavior. I am still trying to figure out what happened for her to act that way, I was simply looking at a tea and asked a question followed by a comment on how I loved the smell. It was an odd interaction. Hopefully, they can talk to their employees on how to interact with customers better. We ended up having a fab time in Dahlonega and will be back but not to this store.

Took a day trip up to Dahlonega recently and while walking around, I started to crave some tea. To…read moremy surprise, there was a Spice & Tea Exchange just a few shops down from where I was standing! This little tea shop is incredible! It feels like you stepped back in time with the creaky hardwood floors and the rows and rows of glass jars filled with teas, herbs, and spices. My kind of place. You can purchase their proprietary spice blends, seasonings, and rubs as well as their loose-leaf teas and organic teas. They have 85 handcrafted seasonings that are hand-mixed in store daily. They also offer flavored sugars, sea salts, and other lines including infused honeys and artisan extra virgin olive oils. They seriously have it all, so it's a great gift shop if you're looking to buy something special for a loved one. They also offer fresh-brewed tea made to order, and let you choose any of their loose-leafs available in house. I think that's so cool to have the ability to pick your tea on the spot and have it made just for you. I chose the Super Citrus Mint Herbal Tea over ice with NO sugar or sweetener (I like it as natural as possible), and it was exactly what I was looking for. Incredibly refreshing and also great immune support. Excited to come back for more spices and tea!

It will not disappoint if you can get through the front door, which is cluttered like a hoarders house. Once we walk through the tiny path between all the "antique gems", a deep awakening in our spirits happened. A spine, chilling moment. Something you would see on 60 minutes episode before a person was kidnapped. Suddenly a man from the back yelled out " you want a shot or a hot chocolate?". With fear and trepidation, we said no and he asked us if he scared us... we said "yes". We knew we had to get out of there fast. As we were trying to "escape", I saw a cat and tried to soften the awkwardness and talk to an older lady about the cat. Just as I did that, the older lady started yelling out. "They're not gonna buy anything, Jack! Why are they here if they don't wanna buy anything? They don't like our store? They should leave!!" He agreed and so did we! This has been the weirdest shopping experience of my life.

He lead me straight to the wicked witch who stopped me and my iced coffee at the door. She blocked me from Going in and told her I was insulting her by bringing a coffee in. I was shocked all I saw was Christmas ornaments. I actually thought she was joking and laughed and she said unless you buy you can't come in. I stood shocked she scoured staring my soul down. We turned around and my fiancé said well that's why you have no business. Weirdest experience

We glanced at other tables- the blueberry pancakes at the next table looked amazing. I hemmed and hawed but being a biscuit connoisseur, I went with the country platter. Big mistake. We both ordered platters with scrambled eggs and crispy bacon. The eggs were crunchier than the bacon. Disappointingly, the biscuit was a standard frozen foot service reheat. The winner was the French toast. And, as I paid the bill, I ordered a cinnamon roll to go. It was touted as freshly made. It was just after 8am... it was dry and unappetizing. Very disappointing experience all around. We did find the staff lovely and warm. The food didn't match their energy.
