The "door lip" was not wheelchair friendly but staff was, and allowed me to order at the door. The iced latte was good but extremely "white" suggesting less espresso than average or way more milk. They did not have an almond milk of repute so I had whole milk. It was a good drink, for which I was grateful but not a "top ten" type place due to accessiblity, depth of coffee flavor, ability to see menu options, etc.

Great spot to get away from the hoopla of the main strip in Helen, GA but still be somewhat close…read more It's about an 8-minute drive to this cute coffee house from Helen. It seems to be a local favorite because it was pretty busy when we arrived. We got the last spot in the parking lot. The lot is not paved (dirt and mulch); however, if you have a Tesla they have two charging units in the lot. Staff are very friendly and inviting and they do a good job of cleaning and maintaining the coffee station and customer seating areas. Prices are competitive to other businesses in the area, although the coffee is a bit expensive in my opinion, but it is delicious. I ordered an Americano and it was one probably the best one we had on our whole trip. Nancy and I both ordered coffee's, the Americano was $5.75 and her Coffee of the Day was $4.00. For our breakfast we decided on the Bacon Quiche $7.50 and the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit $6.95 to share. The Quiche was on point; it was much better than the Biscuit Sandwich. Don't get me wrong both items tasted yummy it's just the biscuit was quite dry. Nancy had to ask for Jelly to spruce it up. They didn't charge extra for the jelly and after adding the jelly the sandwich was actually the bomb; something for the menu development team to ponder. There is not a lot of seating here but it seems most customers are in and out quick except for a few that are working on laptops and whatnot. All-in-all, a great spot for a quick breakfast or brunch and fresh ground and deliciously brewed coffee. I recommend them if you are in the area.

Staff were friendly and fast without doing the fake-cheerful thing. I kept it simple with an Americano and it was exactly what I wanted, bold and smooth, no notes. My fiancée got one of their specialty drinks and would not shut up about it. Genuinely one of the better specialty coffees she's had in a while, and she has opinions about coffee. The whole spot has that small mountain-town coffee shop feel. Cozy, a little lively, the kind of place you'd sit in longer if you weren't on your way somewhere. Which we were, so we didn't. We'll be stopping in again next time we're through Helen.

They were very nice and the shop was super cute. I will return!!! Best coffee in town!read more

It was a sweltering day outside and the A/C and cold beers were definitely a welcomed sight. The owner and staff we spoke with were so friendly and gave my brother in law (who will be close by now) the run down on upcoming Oktoberfest events and when the best times to visit were to avoid the insane college weekends. We had one of the most delicious pretzels I've ever consumed and I took precisely zero pictures of it because it didn't last long. Inside the shop is small but they have a big beautiful outdoor seating space with games at each table.

They…read morehave both indoor and outdoor seating if you'd like to relax, and they also offer coffee and pastries. I didn't try either during my visit, so I can't speak to their quality, but it's nice that they have more than just honey available. The highlight for me was being able to sample both their traditional and whipped honey before making a purchase. It was a great way to compare flavors without feeling pressured, and the staff was friendly throughout the experience. After tasting a few options, I ended up taking home the Lemon Whipped Honey and Cinnamon Whipped Honey, and I'm glad I did. The whipped honey has an incredibly smooth, creamy texture that spreads easily, and both flavors were delicious. The lemon is bright and refreshing, while the cinnamon has a warm, comforting flavor that's perfect on toast, biscuits, or even stirred into tea. My only reason for giving four stars instead of five is the price. The honey is definitely on the more expensive side, so it's more of a specialty purchase than something I'd buy regularly. That said, the quality is excellent, and the ability to sample before buying helped make the purchase feel worthwhile. Overall, this is a charming local shop with great products and a welcoming atmosphere. If you're a honey lover or looking for a unique gift, I'd definitely recommend stopping in. I would happily come back to pick up more whipped honey and maybe give the coffee and pastries a try next time.

Hoochee's is a small food truck with covered outdoor seating right along the Chattahoochee. It…read moreshares a parking lot with the tubing place next door, where restrooms are available. The best part is definitely the setting--you can sit and watch tubers float down the river while you eat. Just keep in mind there are no fans or air conditioning, so it can get pretty hot... The menu posted on the food truck/website is not the full menu, so make sure to ask for the paper copy. They're known for the Buddha Burger and also have some healthier options. The food was okay for me, but if you love greasy smash burgers, you'd probably rate it much higher. One thing I didn't love was the pricing. Prices have increased, and there is an upcharge for paying by credit card that I didn't see mentioned on their website. There are also no fountain drinks--everything is bottled and purchased separately. Service was great. The person cooking and serving us was very friendly and genuinely eager to tell us about the food, the location, and their sister restaurant (Hoochee's River basket). Overall, I'd stop by again if I were already in the area, especially for a casual picnic-style meal with a nice river view. The atmosphere/location is really what makes it unique.
