The croissants have tasted dry both times as if they are a few days old, if you bring it home and put it in the microwave for 10 seconds it tastes better, but not what I would expect from a bakery Over all the facilities look clean and well kept, the people who run the bakery are passionate & it had a good ambience!

We walked into the cozy shop on a Saturday morning and were immediately greeted by the friendly…read moreworker. She patiently and honestly answered our questions about the best products to try. 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.

This was my first visit to Ellijay, and I stumbled across this slightly hidden gem. If you head…read morenorth out of the Downtown Square down N. Main St., you'll find the classy looking white and blue building. Once inside, you enter a world of delicious tidbits, morsels, and tasty bites. Being that this was my first visit, I had to try the very popular pecan bar. I also decided to try one of the cute churro cupcakes. The owners, Jennifer and Charity, we're friendly and welcoming. They greeted me as soon as I entered their shop, and they graciously answered all of my questions. As I was getting ready to depart, I noticed that they also have a large tea room for private parties. It looks like the perfect atmosphere for a British high tea with Victorian looking décor. Needless to say, if I find myself in Ellijay again, I will definitely return to A Little Baked bakery. I highly recommend you try it as well. Cheers

We saw people walking with coffee and they recommended The Sweet Shoppe. We absolutely fell in love…read morewith all of the positive words on the wall. The bakery items all looked delicious and we wanted them all. We ordered cinnamon bun and had it warmed. I ordered one of the specialty drinks (The Jolene) and my friends wanted just black coffee. They did not have any fresh coffee so they offered her espresso with water, and said they could bring the half and half out for her to add herself. The cinnamon bun was mouth watering and delicious. My friend and I both felt that our coffee wasn't very flavorful, and almost watered down. I would definitely try it again if ever in town, especially for the bakery items!

The prices from what I saw seemed to be pretty average, although a few products were higher than expected. I honestly wouldn't be able to say much except that in the town of Murphy, this seems to be the bougie market. It's either this or Walmart far out. No complaints really. I bought instant coffee for later, not to mention I drank a pumpkin spice latte at their Starbucks, where the staff was really pleasant.

I noticed the other day that they're also not labeling the meat with the country of origin which they seemed so proud of previously.

I've spent lot's of $ at the Murphy Ingles in particular over the years and shopped several times a week there & they seem to be in decline overall. Time to find a new place to shop it seems!
