    $$ First of all, I have to thank my sister, AnnMarie, for traveling to Helen and Georgia with me for a three day weekend to watch hot air balloons. Secondly, I have to thank the ill tempered parking person over at the Cowboys and Angels restaurant and bar for making it so hard to park outside of that restaurant that we ended up heading to the Alpine Café (at the north end of town). There was free parking in the back and Cody, the host, was so kind to help me navigate the car to their parking area. The service was amazing! Christina, our bartender, was absolutely fabulous and we truly enjoyed her company. Kiylee, who was our server, did a great job making sure that our food was served hot and she was attentive enough without being overbearing! We will be revisiting Alpine Café for drinks this evening, and probably drinks tomorrow evening as well. If you're traveling through Helen, Georgia, please look up the Alpine Café and say "hi" to the staff for us! Safe travels

    They seemed short staffed we had to wait even with open tables and no barista to get a drink while we waited. However once we were seated things moved quickly and we enjoyed our food.

    Oh my goodness the nicest place E V E R! We came in asking if we could order to go because we had our husky with us. They said of course or we can set up a table on the outside patio for you! They really went above and beyond. They even brought our little pup a water bowl. A N D they brought him bacon! We ordered biscuits and gravy, F A B U L O U S! Such large portions! We also got the two egg breakfast and it was delicious. Sabrina was our server and was incredible! We will be coming back and asking for her every time!

    DO NOT EVER GO HERE! Poor service. Ask for water and coffee and only get coffee. Ask for plain grits and they bring out cheese grits. Ask if toast can come out first and it comes out with the rest of the food. They charged the table for an extra coffee. Small portions for the price. Potatoes were way to salty while none of the other food seemed to have any seasoning. No one that got the potatoes could even eat them. Half the bacon was burnt, while half the bacon was nearly undercooked. And then, here's the worst part of the already bad experience! They expect you to pay, without seeing your bill. And then the bill wasn't split properly. Instead of placing what each couple had on there actually bill, the waitress just added it all up and divided by the 3 couples. Wr paid $35.02 for the following: 2 egg omelet 2 pieces of bacon 1 slice of toast Potatoes Bowl of grits 1 pieces of toast We have eaten at many places in and around Helan over the years, and this is the absolute worst experience we have ever had!

    The food and atmosphere are excellent but the service is lacking badly. We got there for breakfast at around 8:10 a.m. and were the first ones there. First, the waitress tries to put us in a small corner table when there are around ten empty larger tables available. We actually had to tell her, "I think you can spare one of the larger tables." The coffee wasn't hot and she had to take it back for a fresh pot. The next table that came in did the exact same thing. It literally took 30 minutes to get our food after placing the order. First ones there, mind you. The food was good but we've never waited so long. Prices are reasonable.

    Some not-so-great coffees from the café.

    We stopped by for breakfast. I ordered a latte, and my wife ordered a decaf coffee. Both were not good. They arrived in paper to-go containers, which we felt was weird since we were dining in. Both drinks were also watered down, and they had very little flavor. This is not the place to go for coffee. The day prior, we stopped at Yonah Coffee Company down the street, which was very good. Go there for coffee, instead. The main course for breakfast was the breakfast pizza, which we shared. We ordered the pizza with bacon, but it came with ham instead :/ Aside from that misstep, the pizza was pretty good... surprisingly so. It's also enough for two to share, which is what we did. Based on the coffee alone, we would probably not come back here. But, if you don't care about coffee or if you have already had your morning cup of joe, this place is a decent breakfast spot. You just have to be OK if your bacon breakfast pizza shows up with ham instead.

    We had a lot of fun in the mountains going hiking and running around Helen for Octoberfest! Alpine cafe was one of the spots we checked out for brunch and they did NOT disappoint. It was a really nice location and the interior felt like you're inside a cabin in the mountains. We basically got one of everything on the menu and really enjoyed it. The food was 4.5 out of 5 very affordable & the service was 5/5 and we all left feeling very full-filled and happy ! Shout out to Julie for the awesome service she made us feel very welcomed and at home, if you're in town for some hiking or just passing through this is one of the spots I would definitely recommend give it a try you won't regret! Check out some of the pictures below to get hungry!

    Food was excellent. Was my last morning in Helen and needed a food joint too redeem from the disaster that was Pauls... I'm glad to say that this place did excellent! Server was great, she lit up when I said I wanted the breakfast pizza! It was amazing... 2 people could eat this safely and be full! My fiancee got the 2 eggs, the over medium ends were too runny for me, looked more over easy... but she liked them still... Thankful for great service and food!

    I was in the mood for a smoothie and this so was on the way home so I figured I'd give it a try…read more Conveniently located in the Kroger plaza on the corner, this was easy to get to with plenty of parking. Pretty and welcoming signage out front with cute decor inside. 3 large chalkboards colorfully display the extensive menu. I wasn't sure what to expect since I didn't check any reviews or their website before arriving. The owner, Ty, was super helpful explaining what things were and giving recommendations. He is passionate about the healthy benefits and great taste of his wares. While I loved the experience, these are health shakes and not quite the fruit smoothie I was looking for. Nonetheless, I feel like I'll go back to try the refresher or coffee. Certainly a good spot for a healthy meal replacement.

    Owner was very helpful in ordering the best options for me. They were very accommodating and happy…read moreto answer all questions. Would definitely recommend getting the combo: protein shake and loaded tea for $13. It can be a little pricey to buy separately but a big savings with a combo. For $6.50 each it seems very reasonable. I would easily pay way more than at a coffee shop or a smoothie place for each one individually. They do have iced coffees I'm looking forward to trying on my next visit. I would return on customer service alone! Family run business! But the shake and tea I ordered today were very good!
