North Georgia
Owned by Dahlonega mayor Sam Norten and the absolute best spot around to mingle with town characters and university students engrossed in local gossip. Picnic does simple and quick biscuit sandwiches for breakfast, and sandwiches such as honey-ham salad, pimento cheese and sweet Georgia peach chicken salad for lunch.
Staff is adorable and there are loads of cakes, cookies and other sweet baked love too.
