"Fresh-pressed juice, coffee, and pastry from the walk-up window make this a fine first stop for exploring downtown Alpharetta on foot. Plus, outdoor tables on the front lawn and back deck, and sunken garden benches provide a wealth of space and — bonus! — dog-friendly seating from where they can stare longingly at towering toasts of local mushrooms and cauliflower, gooey croque madames on housemade bread, or big bowls and salads with a cocktail as day fades into dinnertime." - Alex Leo-Guerra
