If you're looking for a quaint breakfast place with charm or character, this probably isn't it. But if you're hungry and just want a quick, simple bite, it gets the job done. We drove a bit out of the way because of the high Yelp ratings, and as visitors to the Ellijay area it didn't quite live up to our expectations.

This was a true treasure of a find in the quaint downtown Ellijay. My friends and I wanted to stop…read morefor a coffee and the trip completely changed when we stopped here, in such a good way. This used to be called the Ellijay CoffeeHouse House, but is now Mountain Town Coffee at Hemlock Bazaar (hopefully Yelp will accept my edits), and it has a great vibe. There's a back entrance and courtyard which we came through. The decoration is wacky- I don't know how else to describe it. It's old school and nostalgic but strange. On the other side of the wall there's an entire book store that is part of the business. It had one of the most impressive collections I've seen in a bookstore in awhile. It wasn't huge but it had a great variety of genres, and a lot of intriguing titles I hadn't heard of but sought to remember for later. The man working the register was a charm- he told us how Ellijay has their own tv production (which they were playing on an old school tv), a special Bigfoot podcast and more. Lastly, the coffee was, of course, delightful. I had a latte with a little bit of spice in it that was perfect to warm a person up in the cool early spring air when we were there. Had we known this would be such a cool stop I think we would have bargained even more time to just hang and enjoy the atmosphere. I think it could be a good place to sit and do work or read and there's lots of spaces to sit so it's not too loud.

This cozy café is a quaint breakfast and lunch spot. It has a mismatch of tables and chairs which…read moremakes it somewhere you want to settle in for a nice home-cooked meal. The coffee... even without real cream, it was delicious. The corned beef hash was unique in that it was cooked with small chunks of onion a top a bed of breakfast potatoes. It was really tasty and not too salty. My eggs were extra large and cooked to my liking. My husband liked the cheesesteak with amazing wedge cut potatoes. He would get it again. My teenager got the pork chop and eggs. She doesn't like pork and therefore doesn't eat it so I'm not even going to try to write anything about it other than it looked thin but good. The service was great- she brought refills when needed and checked on us frequently. We'll come back to because I really want to try the Vietnamese coffee and there are definitely other intriguing menu items. Our only complaint is the parking situation has gotten worse in downtown Ellijay so if the weather is at questionable, we may not make the long trip from Pickens County.

As a non-southerner, supposed to say this is a great place where you can try an elevated fancified version of southern food.

Hands down, the best fish and chips I've ever had. I'm not even a big fish-and-chips person--I'm…read morenot sure why I ordered it--but I'm glad I did. It completely exceeded my expectations, and I've honestly been thinking about going back just to have it again. The fish was incredibly fresh--tender, flaky, and practically melted in my mouth. The breading was on another level: perfectly crisp, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. It paired really well with the beer-battered fries, which were also excellent. The portion size was massive. At first, the price seemed a bit high, but once the plate came out, it felt like a great value for the amount of food you get. We went during lunch, and it was fairly busy, so service was a bit slow. That might've been more understandable, but there were a few moments where our server seemed idle while we were still waiting, which stretched the meal longer than we would've liked. That said, she was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, so it balanced out somewhat. Overall, it was a great experience. The food alone makes it well worth a visit, and I'd definitely come back.

Good thing, too. We were about to try a few things that she steered us clear of. We ended up ordering: Cheesy bagel with cream cheese Everything bagel Chocolate croissant Ham and cheese danish Pumpkin chocolate almond croissant 2 iced coffees Some notes: -She heated up all of the items for us, which was tasty and delicious. -Coffee was good. Oat milk or half and half were available. -No plastic knives for the cream cheese. We used wooden coffee stirrers which was fine but clumsy to navigate. -Not sure why reviews are so bad for bagels because they were fluffy with just the right amount of chew (close to NY style). I will say that after it being toasted, the bagel was not soft enough the day after to eat. But day-of, it was great. -Small seating area typical of little cafes. A few outdoor tables as well. -Very friendly service. Accommodating and welcoming to our child circus -the cheesy bagel isn't the typical Asiago most places carry, but an actual cheddar blend. Yummy.
