Upstairs seating
Carole M.

Located on the main street in Flowery Branch by the railroad, this little coffee shop has a lot to offer. Beautiful old two-story building with indoor seating, lots of table or coach style seating on both floors, free Wi-Fi, park free by the railroad or in front of the coffee shop. Super Friendly staff, great breakfast served until 2 PM and lunch menu available. Coffee was excellent and muffins were fresh. Even got it warmed for me. The staff use my name when I left, and this made me feel very special. Great customer service. Support local great atmosphere.

We were just looking for a new place for a quick bite and coffee. We stumbled upon this quaint hidden gem in the area--everything's made fresh and in-house! Kevin and Gail, the lovely owners, made us feel right at home. The inside is a cool two storey brick building with an inside loft and a historic part of Flowery Branch. It's a very relaxing setting with pleasant welcoming staff. Original selection of food with amazing flavor. Love finding spots like this!

Gluten free scone, strawberry chocolate chip muffin, snickerdoodle frappe, rocky road frappe.

The perfect little coffee cafe with brunch! Absolutely lovely! Food was delish! Coffee choices were endless! So many gluten free options! Excellent service! Beyond 5 stars! Definitely a hidden gem so glad we found! So many cute seating areas to choose from! The table art was so beautiful and interesting! This is my new favorite place!

Randomly had to go to Flowery Branch for a funeral. A friend recommended this place for lunch. Everyone was so friendly and the sandwiches were delicious. We also had coffee and I tried a homemade ding-dong for dessert. They also had GF options and it was clearly marked which helped out my husband. All was lovely.

Chicken Salad Club

Whole Being Café is such a lovely spot, located in the charming little square of Flowery Branch. I got a chai tea latte, which was absolutely delicious--perfectly spiced and comforting. I also had the chicken salad club, and it was just as tasty! The atmosphere is cozy, the service is great, and the prices are very reasonable. I even grabbed some cookies for my clients--hopefully, they'll enjoy them just as much as I enjoyed my food. Highly recommend this coffee spot if you're in the area!

We made a trip to Flowery Branch, GA to camp. Stopped by Whole Being Cafe for breakfast one morning. We had met Kevin and Gail while in deployment with Mercy Chef's. They are two of the nicest people you will ever meet. Their coffee shop is on downtown Flowery Branch. The brick decor screams cafe!! Local made pastries tempt your senses when you walk in, mixed in with Nitro Brew in the background! We grabbed a coffee flight, strawberry smoothie, protein bowl and some cheese and brown toast. The food was amazing. Protein bowl was a very large portion, seasoning nicely. The cheese toast was toasted bread with seasoned butter and melted sharp cheddar. (Brought my childhood back) The brown toast was cinnamon sugar toast that melted in your mouth. My strawberry banana smoothie was better than any "corporate smoothie" shop. Fast of fresh strawberries and bananas hit the spot! The Nitro coffee flight was the star of the show! It included "Stout Truffle", "Strawberry Hibiscus", "Blonde Blueberry Basil" and "Peach Perfect"! Stout truffle will please any dark roast lover, blueberry basil was just amazing and my wife RAVED over the peach perfect! If you stop by, make sure to save plenty of time to hang out and savor the moment! The furniture and decor upstairs is an antique lover's dream! Kevin and Gail love their community and offer a discount for first time visitors. The also offer a "F.A.N." card. You can round up your bill to the next dollar or give a donation. Those proceeds go on the Feed A Neighbor card, that Whole Being uses to feed those that might come in needing a meal, but unable to afford it. So if your local to the area or drove 4 hours to stop by: Whole Being Cafe is worth the trip! You won't be disappointed!!

Best ambiance and the food is good too! Great place to for a cozy breakfast or lunch and it feels like you're surrounded by family. Will be back!

Flourless Choo h cake slice
Cristina M.

Such a cute little cafe on the main strip in downtown Flowery Branch. Just go over the train tracks and make a right off Spout Spring rd. I got the BLT, with water and their flourless chocolate cake. The service is great and so is the food. Super fast and freindly. The water is communal and you can take as much as you want from the pitchers. The upstairs has additional seating where you can work and mingle with less noise on the cafe's main floor. I will be back to try more items and their DESSERTS! Try their coffees as well.

Ava helped us and was absolutely awesome and friendly throughout our visit. We started with beinets that had a lemon curd smear on the serving plate. The beinets were perfect, airy, light, hot, and covered in powdered sugar. They were awesome without the lemon curd but, when you added it to the beinet, a very tasty addition. We also ordered coffee and a cappuccino with vanilla, both fresh, hot, and tasty. We then ordered the she had the Avacado toast with crispy potatoes and I had the fried chicken and bourbon waffle. She really enjoyed the avacado toast as it is her favorite place to have this meal. The chicken was fried perfectly, with the right amount of heat in flavor, the bacon jam and maple syrup, what a great depth of flavors, I absolutely loved this dish. I had some of her crispy potatoes, they were awesome, the salting was spot on perfect and added so much flavor. We love this place, a great morning date, or a place to bring the kids, it is charming, vibrant pink color with gold accents throughout makes it a special place. We will of course keep coming back.

She genuinely seemed happy to be there, and not just for tips - didn't get her name, but she had GORGEOUS purple hair. Food - YUM! Onion rings were the perfect size so that one bite didn't result in the whole onion slipping out of its fried blankie. Grilled shrimp - also the perfect size!! Not those tiny little grubby ones. Date's ribeye was perfectly cooked! He had fried okra as his side and I despise okra, but it was actually pretty tasty!

It was kind of odd having the manager's office in the front of the restaurant and in view of customers. Tables had an odd texture to them. Like they were painted but remained sticky for some reason. Pretzel appetizer was good and toasted. I could have used more acid and leche de tigre in the ceviche. So it was just OK. Skip the country fried steak. The brown gravy is flat out gross. The steak is definitely frozen. The onion rings and the Mexican corn were the best part of the plate. Very likely will not be back.

I ordered a more traditional breakfast and it was prepared perfectly. Restaurant was crowded but not packed. Service was excellent. Overall, good value and not overly expensive.

J. Christopher's is a beloved local favorite breakfast spot we found while visiting family in…read moreFlowery Branch, Georgia. Despite our unexpectedly late start to the day, there was a steady flow of customers the entire time we ate breakfast. Customers ranged from young families, single guest and friends gathering in small groups, everyone we saw ordered a variety of breakfasts. There are options for all types of morning eaters. Small portions to big meals. You are bound to find something to fit your mood. While the options are typical choices you find in many breakfast diner type businesses, the quality of the food and the freshness was evident. Nothing was "greasy" or flavorless nor was anything "slammed " together to get diners in and out quickly. Care was taken to provide a good breakfast with warm southern hospitality. I ordered the short stack (2) of the blueberry crunchcakes. They were two large blueberry pancakes topped with granola. They were not overly sweet nor did the granola conflict with the pancake experience. It was actually my second favorite pancake I've ever had. They were large enough I only ate half the order. I requested a side of bacon and it came with three strips, cooked nicely. Not too crispy and not too floppy. My husband ordered the Western Omelette which had ham, peppers, onions and cheese. He also chose the oven roasted potatoes and the English muffin. He was pleased to see there was not a ton of cheese inside as he has experienced elsewhere, so you could easily taste the various flavors of each ingredient. The portion was hearty so he too only ate half. The potatoes were perfectly golden and tasted like potatoes. Nothing was greasy nor overly salted so it felt like a hearty breakfast. If you are in town and want a yummy breakfast of some classic breakfast favorites, make it a point to eat at J. Christopher's. You will taste fresh ingredients, get good portions and won't break the bank. I wasn't a fan of the hot or iced coffee though, which always completes my morning. If you are in the mood for more than a pastry at breakfast, this place is one to try.

They also sent out a reminder text 30 mins before we were due at the restaurant and checked on us to make sure we were coming when we ran a little behind schedule. We were seated promptly and our server was Mickey. Mickey was helpful when we asked for suggestions on drinks, appetizers and entrees. I ordered their drink the Pom De Vie. My mocktail was delicious and fruity. My husband ordered the Manhattan. He enjoyed his drink as well. Bread was brought to the table and we really enjoyed the sauce to accompany the bread. The sauce was a mix of balsamic vinaigrette, garlic and tomatoes. For our appetizer we ordered their calamari and boy was it good. We are used to a dipping sauce being served with it but it did not need it. The breading that was used was perfect and light. We enjoyed the onions and peppers that were lightly fried with the calamari as well. The chili sauce that was drizzled onto the calamari was delicious. For our entrees my husband ordered a wedge salad (not pictured) and we shared and enjoyed that together. He ordered their 22 oz ribeye with Oscar style. He really liked his ribeye as did I. I tasted a piece and it melted in my mouth. For my entree I ordered their August special: Summer Barramundi. I have cooked Barramundi myself and it is a favorite. This is my first time trying Barramundi at a restaurant. It was cooked to perfect. It was served with fried okra and watermelon along with a pickled watermelon rind. The pickled watermelon rind was a cool and interesting way to put a twist on taking advantage of using the entire watermelon to eat. It was really good. For dessert, my husband and I ordered the crème brûlée (not pictured( and we really enjoyed that together as well. We enjoyed the service by Mickey. We enjoyed this establishment and their food.
