I always come to Dahlonega to visit family so I’ve been here many times, most of the time I come with family so we go in. The one time I take a visit with friends the lady outside tells us that there’s a ten-dollar entrance fee for each of us. I was confused and didn’t understand at first because every other time we had been allowed in there. I asked her if this was new and she told us “How do you expect us to make money if none of you are paying.” I turned to my friends and left.

Don’t bother with this place. The owners are rude and racist and the coffee is atrocious, as detailed in so many other reviews. Go to Canopy + the Roots or Jethro’s if you want good coffee from a good Dahlonega business.

Hey my review got taken down, just like some others. Isn't that funny. I won't rehash the whole story, let's just say it's similar to the others. The male owner even yelled, "**** you!" in my mother's face.

What coffee shop opens at 11am?

This looked like a really cute place had some interesting decorations, etc.,that we wanted to look at. After entering the place, one of the employees or maybe owner asked us if we were buying anything. When we said we'd never been here before and we were looking around, he said "I came in to serve you. If you're not buying anything...have a nice day" It was bizarre. I asked him if he was asking us to leave and he just repeated his statement while standing at the door. It was incredibly awkward. Don't need to tell me twice...couldn't wait to get out of there. One star review is generous. Creepy.

Somehow my review from 2018 got removed, so I’m happy to leave it again.This business is on the historic square and has items lining the sidewalk. My family of four was walking on the public sidewalk past this business when my two (2) year old Daughter reached out and touched a concrete bird bath that is literally ON THE SIDEWALK.The onslaught of meanness that ensued from the shop owner was impressive. We we’re yelled at, berated, and, ultimately, the cops were called…not by us (the subjects of a verbal tirade) but by the lady who owns the shop.Yes, she called the cops on our two-year-young Daughter and we HAPPILY awaited the Officer’s arrival. In fact, we dedicated the time to wait there until he arrived.After listening to both parties, the Officer suggested that we report this issue to the City as situations like this occur frequently and are a black eye to this community.Were we customers? No. Simply pedestrians on a public sidewalk enjoying a sunny day’s stroll along the historic square of a quaint North Georgian town when we were aggressively pursued as we moved past this shop.Am I bitter? Hmmm…nah, not really…I do embrace forgiveness. But when you see something, say something. I saw something, I’m saying something.

All of these reviews are 100% on point. Gas station coffee, Narnia-meets-Nana’s-attic vibes, and barely any room to walk around. Five stars because my boyfriend and I walked in for kicks and giggles and boy did we get it. I’m just sad we missed the persnickety old lady. Not a place you go for good coffee, but definitely an entertaining experience.

This would be a zero if it could be. It's so cute from the outside but I saw a cat and had to say hello: the cat ran into the store like a scene from Hansel and Gretal I followed for crumbs of cat love. 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

My boyfriend and I were walking past the shop after studying and noticed it was open for once. We decided to walk in and it was like a scene from Hoarders. Random junk everywhere and I was a little worried it would collapse on us at any time. We walked up to the counter and Norman Bates asked us if we wanted something, to which my friendly boyfriend told him we were just looking and didn't expect the store to be open. The guy asked us if we wanted something again and my boyfriend told him we would probably hold off for now but we would come back soon. Before he could even get the sentence out, Norman gives us a nasty stare and said "bye". So we left. The only good thing about this "coffee shop", which is just a coffee pot and some sodas, is the black cat outside that you can sometimes spot. Even though we were treated better than some of the other reviews here, I still do not recommend this place.

My boyfriend and I have been wanting to stop by for a while now. Let me say that the outside of the shop is very similar to the inside with the cute, quirky decor. I really enjoyed the atmosphere! The owner and her son were very kind to us and they have the cutest cat.

Very weird vibe here. A man stopped me as soon as I stepped through the door and asked if I was going to buy coffee. I asked if I could look around and he said they were only selling coffee today. He wasn’t necessarily rude but very unwelcoming and made me uncomfortable. It’s also hard to even walk through the place and it seems like a fire hazard. Very strange place.

Actually great coffee and German chocolate cake. Read the reviews, seems like it's a hit or miss. But I'm a not great looking Hispanic guy and I was treated nicely so not sure what demographic would have an issue.

Hoarders live here. Could barely walk through the store. Dahlonega’s fire marshal is really slacking these days apparently. No idea how this place is in business. They don’t even make coffee, they have a gas station machine and push a button which shoots out the coffee. Bizarre

So rude!! I was in downtown Dahlonega with a couple of my friends and stopped in between this store and another shop to take pictures and the owner sat outside on a bench and watched our every move. When we walked away she fumbled with a gate we were standing near, to make a point I guess? We got a chuckle out of it... but very unnecessary and unwelcoming.
