    Upstairs seating

    Located on the main street in Flowery Branch by the railroad, this little coffee shop has a lot to offer. Beautiful old two-story building with indoor seating, lots of table or coach style seating on both floors, free Wi-Fi, park free by the railroad or in front of the coffee shop. Super Friendly staff, great breakfast served until 2 PM and lunch menu available. Coffee was excellent and muffins were fresh. Even got it warmed for me. The staff use my name when I left, and this made me feel very special. Great customer service. Support local great atmosphere.

    We were just looking for a new place for a quick bite and coffee. We stumbled upon this quaint hidden gem in the area--everything's made fresh and in-house! Kevin and Gail, the lovely owners, made us feel right at home. The inside is a cool two storey brick building with an inside loft and a historic part of Flowery Branch. It's a very relaxing setting with pleasant welcoming staff. Original selection of food with amazing flavor. Love finding spots like this!

    Randomly had to go to Flowery Branch for a funeral. A friend recommended this place for lunch. Everyone was so friendly and the sandwiches were delicious. We also had coffee and I tried a homemade ding-dong for dessert. They also had GF options and it was clearly marked which helped out my husband. All was lovely.

    Whole Being Café is such a lovely spot, located in the charming little square of Flowery Branch. I got a chai tea latte, which was absolutely delicious--perfectly spiced and comforting. I also had the chicken salad club, and it was just as tasty! The atmosphere is cozy, the service is great, and the prices are very reasonable. I even grabbed some cookies for my clients--hopefully, they'll enjoy them just as much as I enjoyed my food. Highly recommend this coffee spot if you're in the area!

    We made a trip to Flowery Branch, GA to camp. Stopped by Whole Being Cafe for breakfast one morning. We had met Kevin and Gail while in deployment with Mercy Chef's. They are two of the nicest people you will ever meet. Their coffee shop is on downtown Flowery Branch. The brick decor screams cafe!! Local made pastries tempt your senses when you walk in, mixed in with Nitro Brew in the background! We grabbed a coffee flight, strawberry smoothie, protein bowl and some cheese and brown toast. The food was amazing. Protein bowl was a very large portion, seasoning nicely. The cheese toast was toasted bread with seasoned butter and melted sharp cheddar. (Brought my childhood back) The brown toast was cinnamon sugar toast that melted in your mouth. My strawberry banana smoothie was better than any "corporate smoothie" shop. Fast of fresh strawberries and bananas hit the spot! The Nitro coffee flight was the star of the show! It included "Stout Truffle", "Strawberry Hibiscus", "Blonde Blueberry Basil" and "Peach Perfect"! Stout truffle will please any dark roast lover, blueberry basil was just amazing and my wife RAVED over the peach perfect! If you stop by, make sure to save plenty of time to hang out and savor the moment! The furniture and decor upstairs is an antique lover's dream! Kevin and Gail love their community and offer a discount for first time visitors. The also offer a "F.A.N." card. You can round up your bill to the next dollar or give a donation. Those proceeds go on the Feed A Neighbor card, that Whole Being uses to feed those that might come in needing a meal, but unable to afford it. So if your local to the area or drove 4 hours to stop by: Whole Being Cafe is worth the trip! You won't be disappointed!!

    Such a cute little cafe on the main strip in downtown Flowery Branch. Just go over the train tracks and make a right off Spout Spring rd. I got the BLT, with water and their flourless chocolate cake. The service is great and so is the food. Super fast and freindly. The water is communal and you can take as much as you want from the pitchers. The upstairs has additional seating where you can work and mingle with less noise on the cafe's main floor. I will be back to try more items and their DESSERTS! Try their coffees as well.

    Place is very busy; both eat in and take out. We arrived around 10:30 AM on a Thursday. Parking is limited in this area on the street. We literally got the last parking spot on the street in front of the cafe. This place has a religious vibe to it, my wife liked that aspect. We ordered at the counter and our food was out in no time. I ordered the Sausage Egg and Cheese burrito with a side of hashbrowns with coffee and a water. She ordered the Green Toast with eggs with a latte. When my burrito arrived, I asked about my hashbrowns, and she replied, they are in the burrito. Lesson learned a side of hashbrowns goes into the burrito. Not what I wanted, and she offered to take it back but, I was hungry, so I ate it as it came. Both meals were tasty. Ran into some old friends while eating so this was a nice visit all around.

    Crossroads Bar & Grille in Flowery Branch just nailed two lunch classics better than most places…read moreI've tried--the Cuban and the Reuben are absolute winners. Stopped in at 5900 Spout Springs Rd for a casual lunch and left seriously impressed. These sandwiches aren't just thrown together; they're loaded and executed perfectly. The Cuban (marinated pork loin, smoked ham, Swiss cheese, spicy mustard, and pickles on a toasted hoagie roll) was a flavor bomb. Look at that cross-section--juicy, tender pork layered thick with ham, melty cheese, and that perfect pickle crunch cutting through the mustard kick. The bread toasted up golden and held everything together without getting soggy. Paired it with fries and a side of ketchup, and it felt like something straight out of a great Cuban spot. Huge portions that actually satisfy. The Classic Reuben on toasted marbled rye was equally stacked: thinly sliced corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss, and 1000 Island dressing. The bread had that ideal crisp exterior with a soft bite, and the fillings were generous and well-balanced--no dry bites here. Came with crispy fries and a side of creamy sauce that tied it all together beautifully. Service was friendly and quick, the atmosphere is that perfect relaxed neighborhood vibe (great for watching a game or just catching up), and the prices are fair for the quality and size you get. In a world full of average bar sandwiches, Crossroads delivers the real deal with fresh ingredients and obvious care. Whether you're craving the tangy, savory Reuben or the bright, porky Cuban, both hit the spot hard. I'll definitely be back. If you're in Flowery Branch, do not sleep on these sandwiches. Highly recommend--5 stars.

    What a truly memorable dining experience. Not many restaurants manage to combine the charm of a…read morehospital cafeteria with the personal touch of having the waitress complain about the customers directly to them, but this place pulls it off beautifully. Our server seemed to feel we were an inconvenience simply for existing, which added a refreshing level of tension to the meal. It's not every day you get the unique opportunity to listen to your waitress gripe about you while she's still serving your table. Customer engagement at its finest. The food was equally impressive. The shrimp arrived thoughtfully pre-chilled -- perhaps to keep things exciting for the digestive system. Within minutes it gave me a stomach ache, which I assume was the chef's creative interpretation of "interactive dining." My brother ordered the Philly cheesesteak, which had such a powerful effect that he ended up throwing up shortly afterward. It's rare to see food provoke such a strong physical response, so clearly the kitchen knows how to make an impression. Overall, if you've ever wondered what it would be like to combine cafeteria-level cuisine with openly hostile service and a dash of gastrointestinal adventure, this is absolutely the place to go. Truly unforgettable.

The tables in semi sun with the awning is gone too (husband likes this, but I'm a sun person) . The fried green tomatoes were delicious!! My husband didn't like the pimento cheese on them because they are soggy by the time you get to the bottom, but the rest of us loved them. The brisket Philly was good (& greasy if that isn't your thing). The fish tales & fries are always a favorite! They give a large portion of fish & they are always so fresh & tender.

The replacement entrée was fine--it tasted good--but by that point the experience was already affected. For a place like this, you expect a higher level of quality control and attention to detail. While they did try to fix the issue, finding something like that in your food is hard to overlook. Overall, just not the experience I expected for the price.

Despite our unexpectedly late start to the day, there was a steady flow of customers the entire time we ate breakfast. Customers ranged from young families, single guest and friends gathering in small groups, everyone we saw ordered a variety of breakfasts. There are options for all types of morning eaters. Small portions to big meals. You are bound to find something to fit your mood. While the options are typical choices you find in many breakfast diner type businesses, the quality of the food and the freshness was evident. Nothing was "greasy" or flavorless nor was anything "slammed " together to get diners in and out quickly. Care was taken to provide a good breakfast with warm southern hospitality. I ordered the short stack (2) of the blueberry crunchcakes. They were two large blueberry pancakes topped with granola. They were not overly sweet nor did the granola conflict with the pancake experience. It was actually my second favorite pancake I've ever had. They were large enough I only ate half the order. I requested a side of bacon and it came with three strips, cooked nicely. Not too crispy and not too floppy. My husband ordered the Western Omelette which had ham, peppers, onions and cheese. He also chose the oven roasted potatoes and the English muffin. He was pleased to see there was not a ton of cheese inside as he has experienced elsewhere, so you could easily taste the various flavors of each ingredient. The portion was hearty so he too only ate half. The potatoes were perfectly golden and tasted like potatoes. Nothing was greasy nor overly salted so it felt like a hearty breakfast. If you are in town and want a yummy breakfast of some classic breakfast favorites, make it a point to eat at J. Christopher's. You will taste fresh ingredients, get good portions and won't break the bank. I wasn't a fan of the hot or iced coffee though, which always completes my morning. If you are in the mood for more than a pastry at breakfast, this place is one to try.

    I've been here a few times for breakfast and the people are friendly and the food is great.read more
