The decor is beautifully nature-inspired and the staff super friendly and knowledgeable. They have a cute little merch section and comfy seating throughout. I stuck around for the live music, the Threadbare Skivvies, and it was fantastic! The band was talented & there is ample seating. For $10, you can make a reservation for your own little table. Feel free to belly up to the bar and order a healthy drink. I ordered the Forest Tonic with ginger and fresh mint. It was delish!! It was also great to leave a lice music venue without a hangover, if you know what I mean. Lol I highly recommend Canopy & the Roots. It's obvious the owners have put in a whole lotta love curating this wonderful place.

Canopy + the Roots Coffee Shop offers a great location in the heart of Dahlonega, Georgia, with…read morecute outdoor seating that's perfect for enjoying a fall day and watching the world go by in this charming little Georgia mountain town. The indoor seating is also great if you're looking to set up with a computer and get some work done, although seating is somewhat limited. We ordered the drip coffee, which actually came as a pour-over, and it was quite good! That's coming from people who take their coffee pretty seriously. They also had pastries available, although I do wish the selection had been a little wider. One thing worth mentioning is that this probably isn't the place to stop if you're in a rush or trying to get out the door quickly. They seem to move at their own pace, but for us, that pace worked perfectly. We were there to enjoy the coffee, the atmosphere, and the town, and that's exactly what we got. Overall, a great little coffee shop with good coffee, a charming atmosphere, and a location that's hard to beat. The experience was well worth the stop, and we'll certainly be back!

This was one of the most bizarre places I've ever been. You walk up to the door, and there's…read morethreatening signs about children and beverages from other businesses. Then you go inside. It looks like an episode of hoarders. There is just stuff EVERYWHERE. Some of the stuff looked cool but I was very overwhelmed. We were greeted by a woman who was sort of surprised we wanted a cup of coffee. The coffee was actually really good for regular drip coffee and very reasonably priced. Later that day I encouraged my mom to go in the shop to see the inside. She went in and upon entry, the same lady said, "my gift shop is closed. If you aren't here for coffee or dessert, you need to leave." My mom put up no fight and left. It was incredibly odd experience for all of this. The coffee was good but I'll never go back.

It will not disappoint if you can get through the front door, which is cluttered like a hoarders house. Once we walk through the tiny path between all the "antique gems", a deep awakening in our spirits happened. A spine, chilling moment. Something you would see on 60 minutes episode before a person was kidnapped. Suddenly a man from the back yelled out " you want a shot or a hot chocolate?". With fear and trepidation, we said no and he asked us if he scared us... we said "yes". We knew we had to get out of there fast. As we were trying to "escape", I saw a cat and tried to soften the awkwardness and talk to an older lady about the cat. Just as I did that, the older lady started yelling out. "They're not gonna buy anything, Jack! Why are they here if they don't wanna buy anything? They don't like our store? They should leave!!" He agreed and so did we! This has been the weirdest shopping experience of my life.

To…read moremy surprise, there was a Spice & Tea Exchange just a few shops down from where I was standing! This little tea shop is incredible! It feels like you stepped back in time with the creaky hardwood floors and the rows and rows of glass jars filled with teas, herbs, and spices. My kind of place. You can purchase their proprietary spice blends, seasonings, and rubs as well as their loose-leaf teas and organic teas. They have 85 handcrafted seasonings that are hand-mixed in store daily. They also offer flavored sugars, sea salts, and other lines including infused honeys and artisan extra virgin olive oils. They seriously have it all, so it's a great gift shop if you're looking to buy something special for a loved one. They also offer fresh-brewed tea made to order, and let you choose any of their loose-leafs available in house. I think that's so cool to have the ability to pick your tea on the spot and have it made just for you. I chose the Super Citrus Mint Herbal Tea over ice with NO sugar or sweetener (I like it as natural as possible), and it was exactly what I was looking for. Incredibly refreshing and also great immune support. Excited to come back for more spices and tea!

The lady at the front was extremely rude, not sure if she had a bad morning or what but we walked out and went on about our Dahlonega visit. I was very shocked and disappointed in her attitude, tone and behavior. I am still trying to figure out what happened for her to act that way, I was simply looking at a tea and asked a question followed by a comment on how I loved the smell. It was an odd interaction. Hopefully, they can talk to their employees on how to interact with customers better. We ended up having a fab time in Dahlonega and will be back but not to this store.

If you want statuary, she has it (And it's reasonably priced). Do you need a new Tarot deck? She has at LEAST 40 decks. Do you need incense? It's there. How about jewelry? Plenty to choose from. I wasn't disappointed in what I saw. And trust me, I saw a lot! The owner works there from open to close, every day, and it is a labour of love! The store was in transition from Samhain to the next holiday, and it was cluttered, but if there was something I wanted, she knew just where it was. We had a lovely chat about the local new age population, about local covens and the acceptance/nonacceptance of her shop. It's sad when the Pagan populace is having to lecture the Christians on "Do unto Others, as ye would have done unto you." but she's had to do a lot of that, with kids and adults alike. I ended up buying a gargoyle who was just too cute to pass up, A small little monster who begged me to buy him and a present for a friend who's having a bit of trouble with the ladies. We'll see what happens with it. Do I reccomend Simple Strands? You bet I do. I'd come here every day if I lived in this area. Sadly I'm in Florida, but when I visit, you can BET I'll be back!
