The most amazing coffee I've ever had. Their frozen Nutella latte with barrel-aged coffee is so good I drive from an hour away sometimes for this special treat! read more

I came again and tried the affogato! Usually I'm used to them served as an espresso drink with ice cream, but here it's served as ice cream with espresso poured on top, eaten with a spoon. The service was quick, and the outdoor seating was very nice. The dairy free drink options are very good for lactose intolerance, and it was altogether another good visit. read more

This is my first time back to the newly remodeled Barrel House coffee. It is so incredibly nice and spacious! I love how they added a room for meetings with a closing barn door for that purpose. There is a large and long merch wall with high-quality items for fans to support their favorite local coffee shop. The new order counter is massive and very Meticulously built out of whiskey barrels. It's really cool and a piece of art in its own right. There are tables indoors and out so you have your pick. I really, really like the remodel with the exception that they're still only one bathroom. I've been there several times before where there's a short line. Today, I tried the delicious coconut latte with non-barrel aged espresso. It was delicious! I've never had a bad coffee at the Barrel House. For frequent patrons, you can ask for a punchcard or purchase one of their Barrel House T-shirts and receive a discount when you wear it there. I love a good incentive! FYI: if you value privacy, let it be known that they record both visual and audio - there's a sign on the site but it's easy to miss. read more

Barrel House Coffee - Counter - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Ball Ground, Georgia

Barrel House Coffee in downtown Ball Ground is such a great little spot! My favorite drink is their barrel aged iced latte with salted caramel cold foam -- it's absolutely delicious and something you can't find just anywhere. They have a really tasty selection of specialty coffees. Everything I've tried has been great. The coffee shop itself is super cute, a cozy area to sit and relax, which makes it a perfect place to meet up with friends or just enjoy a good coffee. Definitely one of my favorite local coffee shops! read more

The coffee is so good. But the wait time to get said coffee is absolutely ridiculous. Without fail you are waiting 10 minutes for a coffee on a slow day, on a busy day, be prepared to wait for upwards of 30 minutes. There's zero work efficiency, the employees are often chatting and moving slowly with little to no urgency or awareness for consideration of customers. There needs to be better training done or more staff hired because it kind of ruins the experience. read more

The ambience was cool, and the staff was very nice. I wasn't a huge fan of the barrel whiskey coffee, maybe it was that it just overpowered the flavor of the drink I got, I can't remember what it was called but it had white mocha and toasted marshmallow flavoring. I would be willing to try it again, but if you're not a big fan of whiskey or whiskey flavoring this might not be the place for you. However, I will definitely try it out again, it may have just been that I didn't get the right thing. read more

Love this place. Drove 30 minutes for a cup of coffee, hot chocolate, and coffee beans. Well worth the trip. Arrived a few minutes before they opened. By the time they opened the line was about 20 people long. Good selection of baked goods, but as the name implies, the highlight is the bourbon barrel aged coffee, both beans and drinks. The aroma is heaven. If you are within an hour drive, do yourself a favor and make the trip! read more

3.5 stars very trendy and fun environment, friendly staff, but would recommend not getting barrel aged if you're not a fan of bourbon. And if you don't know if you're a fan, you probably aren't. We didn't know if we liked bourbon but now know we don't. Update to owner - unfortunately we were driving through town so we didn't stay but would just suggest recommending baristas when they say "barrel aged or not" that if someone isn't familiar with barrel aged bourbon soaked coffee to say if you don't like it we can make it with our other beans. Something like that. read more

Fabulous coffee but they only have one cash register so pack your patience. Not sure what they would double capacity and not add a register.

Everything I'm in Ball Ground, I make it a point to stop in here for coffee. The employees are always gracious and have a smile. They are so very patient with people who aren't familiar with their menu. What makes this coffee shop better than most is that they age the coffee in bourbon oak barrels. If you have never tasted this, we'll let's put this way....it's well worth the trip for this cup of coffee. It's a small shop now with a few tables to sit, but they have started construction to make larger and even more awesome. read more

Young man greeted me from counter was so nice and charming. Explained the aging process and how it flavors the beans. My drink was made almost immediately and the young lady at the serving side was just as sweet. Great experience and the coffee was delicious too. Highly recommend. read more

I've been in here a couple times when visiting a friend in the area. The service is friendly, and the coffee is delicious. If you're not a fan of the barrel aged coffee they do have non barrel aged coffee as well. I haven't sat inside here other than to wait for my coffee, but the interior is clean and bright. It's definitely something I look forward to on my visits! read more

This place is definitely one of the best coffees I've ever had! We made a stop here on our way from Jasper to Atlanta and we are so happy we did! The coffee flavor was so unique with their beans being aged on bourbon barrels, it was truly delicious on its own or in a handcrafted drink you could still taste the amazing flavors! We also tried one of their pastries and we loved it, White Chocolate Lavender scone, the aroma when you eat it lets you know how fresh and good it is, you can even see the lavender flower on the mix so its the real deal! The place looks so nice too, the decor with the barrels is all part of the concept! Lastly their staff/baristas were so friendly and helpful in helping us what to order and they were super nice to my son who wouldn't stop asking questions lol! This place is worth the stop when you are on the road :) read more

This my go to coffee place and my husband and I have made it a frequent weekend ritual to come by here for coffee. Their barrel aged coffee is unmatched anywhere else and one of the best coffees I've ever had. However, if you're not feeling adventurous or it's not your favorite then you can always opt for their non barrel aged brew of the day. My top favorite latte is their Nutella Latte frozen, but I'm also a huge fan of trying whatever concoction they're featuring at any given time. Everyone there is very friendly and knowledgeable. They're more than happy to help you pick a drink choice or suggest something different to try. Give them a try and I promise you'll be back! Make sure to snag one of their punchcards (I'm sure you'll fill it in no time). read more

Took a Sunday afternoon drive up to North Georgia to check out the Barrel House Coffee Company (BHCC) and so glad I did. I had to check out this process they have of putting their beans in freshly emptied Bourbon Barrels to absorb the gentle flavors of the bourbon. It has and amazing flavor, light medium or dark roast, all are exceptional. So I went with the medium roast and had them grind me up a large bag. As soon as they turned on the grinder the whole coffee shop filled up with this wonderful aroma. Just wow! Quite a bit of seating for a small coffee shop. High tops, tables and even a couch. And love all the decor, including the bourbon barrels themselves. I'm hooked! I can now take the short drive up there or better yet order on-line. So nice to find and support Locally owned and operated business. Coffee and bourbon, what a combination, 2 of my favorites! read more

The coffee is GREAT! Ask about their special process to naturally reduce the acidity in their coffee. Other things I appreciated about this coffeehouse: They actually have heavy whipping cream and they don't skimp on it when you ask for it. My coffee wasn't overly sweet (another big issue with most coffeehouses). Thankfully, they are expanding so I don't have to dock them a star: We had to figure out seating because they were so packed and it was too cold for outdoor seating. But there were signs up next door that they are broadening their horizons by procuring adjacent space. Definitely recommend! read more

Coffee is pretty darn amazing with efficient costumer service. The jalapeño cheddar scone had a nice kick to it! YUM. read more

Barrel aged coffee, where else can you find unique coffee like this? I only wished they stayed open later in the evenings. My go to is barrel aged breve Cappuccino and it's the smoothest I've ever had. String too, just like I like it. Service is great, they have punch cards for frequent guests. read more

Whenever I travel I like to try a local coffee shop and this unique shop caught my eye. I've never heard of barrel aged beans, but they were a game changer. It gives the espresso a depth of flavor I didn't know was possible and I wish cafes near me did this. They also have an insane amount of flavor options, so they are bound to have a flavor that matches your taste. The staff were incredibly kind and I did enjoy the ambiance. There is indoor and outdoor seating. I enjoyed the vibe of the place so I sat inside. read more

Was in need of caffeine while passing by Ball Ground. Pulled up Yelp and this was the first coffee shop that popped up, also the best rated one. Parked in the back of the building. Easy, plenty and free! I ordered a caramel oat milk latte. The gentleman at the counter asked if I wanted their aged barrel coffee and I said sure. My son ordered a frozen vanilla latte (decaf). My latte was great! The aged barrel definitely gives it a unique, smokey flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed it. My son raved about his drink and was adamant I try it because it was apparently the best "frappuccino" he's ever had. I took one sip and agreed it was delicious. The masked staff was very friendly and helpful. Prices were reasonable. The space has plenty of indoor seating and some outdoor. They have cool barrel room, kinda separate from the main dining room. Would definitely return! read more

What can I say about this place it's my guilty pleasure!! I drive 20mins out of my way several times a week to enjoy this gem. By far my favorite coffee and best people serving it!! Such a unique and perfect flavor!! My family and my dogs even love this place!!! They roast beans in house and when I can't come in I get a bag a beans to try and recreate what I get inside! The staff is absolutely awesome! Literally can't say a bad thing about it. Two of my favorite things smashed together bourbon & coffee... Need I say more? read more

So happy for the bigger better BHCC. So glad the line was to the door. Yes I was impatiently but patiently waiting for my drink. I tried the new Georgia Peach and it was amazing!

Downtown Ball Ground side entry Outside Green Space Patio Seating umbrellas, hanging string lighting sets the vibe for some good Coffee and Relaxing. A Place to visit with Community.

Ate inside "The Barrel Room" feels like a distillery but Coffee is the Smell and you pick flavor and fixings. Friendly folks, Clean atmosphere could stay all day!

BHCC was not on my radar when I detoured through Ballground Ga. I wanted a Weiner Dog and Pretzel from Frankfurt Doner & Meats; however, they were closed. Disappointed and resigned to go home, I saw BHCC's sign "This way to Coffee...". Of course I'll follow for great coffee. I was feeling splurgest (my word). I ordered the Aged Barrell Frozen Caramel Macchiato and a warm Pumpkin Scone to go. No more pricier than Starbucks but Much better. BHCC's coffees are locally roasted with an added plus of small town hospitality. I missed out on my Weiner Dog but I have a "new find" and an excuse to return soon Th-Sat when I can visit both establishments for my entree, coffee and dessert!! Win Win!! read more

It took use 45 minutes to drive from Smyrna to Ballground and it was completely worth it! A friend recommended Barrel House Coffee and we decided to make a little day trip out of the city. Barrel aged coffee DEFINITELY tastes like whiskey. Avoid it if you aren't a fan because it is strong if you have it black or with cream. If you do love whiskey... you are in for a treat! They have other brews as well and an assortment of pastries. We enjoyed the lemon lavender scone and it was perfect. Adorable place. Who knew downtown Ballground would become a destination for unique coffee! read more
