Where to Grab Coffee in Dahlonega

A caffeine lover’s guide from your host at Blue Door Dahlonega

Let’s be honest — even though our Keurig at Blue Door, Dahlonega is fully stocked and ready for that first morning brew, there’s something about venturing out for a good iced coffee, chai latte, or seasonal specialty drink that just hits different while you're on vacation.

If you're wondering where to go for a perfect cup of coffee (and maybe a little treat on the side), let me share a few of my personal favorites right here in Dahlonega:

☕️ Jethro’s Coffee & Public House – Right on the Square

This is our go-to stop when strolling around the Square. It’s cozy, welcoming, and has the perfect mix of locals and visitors.
Order this: The Golden Nugget — it’s our house favorite and we recommend it to everyone who stays with us. Smooth, rich, and unforgettable.

🥐 Picnic Café & Dessert Bar – Coffee + Baked Goods = Heaven

If you’re looking for both ambience and a bite to eat, this one’s a winner. Picnic is also located on the Square and always buzzing in the best way.
Order this: The Coffee of the Day — whether it’s Pecan or Strudel, it’s always a hit with a splash of cream and sugar. Pair it with a lemon bar or fresh scone and you’re set.

🌿 The Bear Necessities Cafe – Flights of Coffee, Anyone?

Just a little off the Square, this charming spot is perfect if you can’t decide what to order — they literally offer coffee flights so you don’t have to choose.
Order this: A coffee flight (yes, really). It’s fun, delicious, and a great way to discover your new favorite roast.
