Coffee??
Yes, coffee!
Think about it. You’re planning a trip to the Georgia mountains. The views and sounds of southern Appalachia are calming, the morning temperatures are going to be cool, and the back porch of your cabin you rented for the weekend becomes the perfect place to snuggle up under a blanket with your coffee. As a matter of fact, it’s not just a cup of coffee. It’s a specialty latte from one of the local Blairsville coffee shops that tastes just like someone poured a mountain town in your cup.
Over the years, the mountains have become synonymous with coffee. It’s a vibe. It’s good. Most importantly, it just feels right. Coffee is to the north Georgia mountains as Pina Coladas are to the sandy Florida beaches. You’ve got to have your coffee when you’re staring out over the mountains!
Don’t worry. When you come up to hike the Appalachian Trail, stay in your cabin, or visit Brasstown Bald, Blairsville has you covered on all your coffee needs.
