Loved our visit to Cowgirl Candy! Such a cute and charming spot in downtown Ellijay with a fun…read moreatmosphere. The treats were, delicious, and beautifully made. They have a unique selection of sweets, including a large variety of Swedish candies. Everything had that homemade touch, and it was hard to choose a favorite because it was all so good. I really wish I would have gotten more to take back home.

Love that the candies here are from all over the world, made in Italy, Sweden, Belgium,…read moreNetherlands, Denmark. Of course, that means better ingredients, and a nice sweetness that doesn't leave an aftertaste in your mouth. Fun shapes like kittens, ghosts, raspberries, mushrooms. Don't miss the lemon cola and strawberry vanilla gummies nor the wild berry licorice or amazing Italian marshmallows. The service was very chill and gracious as 6 of us explored the containers to fill our bags. We didn't mind paying more for specialty candies. The narrow space does not have good signage (they left the former plant store sign on the storefront) but they are next to Juliana's off the square. We hope that if they move into a bigger space, they stay in Ellijay. We will be back!

I sent some idea photos and what I got was beyond perfect. Simple. Lovely. Perfect. THEN I ate the cake! A vanilla cake. Like what can you expect but OMG! It's a vanilla like I've never had. This is stab your granny for the recipe good! Honest! My hubby has NO sweet tooth but he gorged this down like a starving man eating slabs! It became a competition of who can eat more before it's gone! And now--well Everytime we are up we get a small cake and indulge. Even if we are just popping through the cupcake version is just as amazing. Look, I have no idea what is in this vanilla but it's AMAZING. You tell ME how they take vanilla cake- as basic as it gets- and turn it to incredible. I'm not even going to talk about everything else I've had I. The shop since then like macaroons, cinnamon rolls, that s'mores cupcake (drool). I'm just goi g to say Go! You will not regret it and whoever you bring treats home to will feel loved! But don't blame me if you get addicted to them because this is the best- hands down.

The bakery items all looked delicious and we wanted them all. We ordered cinnamon bun and had it warmed. I ordered one of the specialty drinks (The Jolene) and my friends wanted just black coffee. They did not have any fresh coffee so they offered her espresso with water, and said they could bring the half and half out for her to add herself. The cinnamon bun was mouth watering and delicious. My friend and I both felt that our coffee wasn't very flavorful, and almost watered down. I would definitely try it again if ever in town, especially for the bakery items!

Cute little shop that offers chocolates, as well as gelato in a small town. The people working…read morethere are very friendly and attentive. We were waited on quickly. Had a sample of the grapefruit gelato which was tasty. Not overly sweet at all. Very refreshing. They have lots of flavors and they are constantly churning. We ordered 5 truffles and a Turvle (think pecan turtle). The not turtle - Turvle - was dark chocolate and was delicious. It was only $3.99 and rather large. The truffles were - blueberry, orange, lemon, key lime, and tiramisu. They were all tasty. One didn't stick out as the winner. They were $2.50 each. Very very pricey. I guess that's normal for a truffle, however the flavor profiles weren't on that price point in my opinion. Some had a hard time guessing the flavor. Is it fun to come in and grab some truffles and see if you can guess the flavor - yes. Is it an investment - also yes. But, it's a fun little thing to do. They do have other non truffle things that I would try before the truffles. They did have apples out but they weren't dipped yet. Would have loved to try that or some strawberries. The chocolate is good, but not spectacular. Love that they have dark and milk. Fun place.

We did the Scenic Railway from Blue Ridge to McCaysville, which has a 2 hour layover in…read moreMcCaysville. After eating lunch, 9 of us walked to Happy Bear for some ice cream & we weren't the only ones with that idea. It was SO crowded! More on that in a bit... They had a lot of flavors to choose from. Because I was trying to be good , I got the Sugar Free Turtle Sundae in a small bowl, which was about 2 scoops. It was pretty good for sugar free ice cream. It had pecans & chocolate/caramel swirls. My husband got a Peanut Butter Twirl cone. I didn't see the cannolis in the cabinet next to the cash register until we were paying. They looked great! In the time we were there (from 1:00-1:30 pm), I bet there were 50+ customers in and out. I say that because there was only one poor girl working & she was doing everything: scooping the ice cream & ringing up the sales & she had a great attitude the entire time. One woman ahead of us had snarky comments to the employee but she handled it well. I don't know how she did it. I would've lost my patience. It was a great place & if we're back in McCaysville, we'll definitely be back.

The bakery case was filled with gorgeous pastries I wanted one of everything they looked so good! We ended up getting a Chai Tea Latte with Oatmilk for me, a cortado with oatmilk for Bob and my kiddo got an iced sweet tea and a Valentine sugar cookie. There are lots of seating options. It is a really homey and relaxed vibe with great coffee and goodies. Several patrons before us ordered breakfast sandwiches that looked and smelled delicious will definitely have to try one next time! Was super impressed with the pretty latte art so awesome!!
