Coffee in the Country

Nestled in Cherokee County, the city of Ball Ground oozes with historic charm. It's one of my favorite places to go on a nice day as the backroad drive to the city is absolutely beautiful.

The last time I took a trek out, I happened upon one of the best coffee shops in Georgia, Barrel House Coffee Company. Their coffee is aged inside whiskey and bourbon barrels (they had me at whiskey) and then roasted. The result is a unique and delicious flavor combination.

I thoroughly enjoyed sitting back in the corner in one of their cozy sitting areas, watching as folks, both local and visiting, chatted with the owners and sipped their beverages. Most places have limited seating so you feel rushed to get your drink and get out. At Barrel House, you're encouraged to kick back and really experience your coffee.

Pretty Awesome Perks:

• There is an abundance of seating (both indoor and out)

• Get buzzed on Saturdays when boozy coffee drinks are offered (Yum!)

• Board games are available for fun with friends and family

• You can pick up some beans to go and enjoy Barrel House's tasty coffee at home
