Bean There, Done That: Canton Coffee Tour

Sep 30, 2024

Coffee isn’t just a drink—it’s an experience, a ritual, and a way to connect. In Canton, our local coffee shops are more than just a spot to get your morning pick-me-up. They’re places where friends meet, ideas spark, and the community comes together. Whether you’re in the mood for a specialty latte, a freshly-prepared breakfast, or just a quiet corner to enjoy the day, Canton’s cafés have you covered. In honor of International Coffee Day, we’re spotlighting a few of our favorite must-visit stops for any coffee lover.

Bizarre Coffee

A visit to Bizarre Coffee in Downtown Canton guarantees your day will be anything but boring. Bizarre's menu features everything from the unique coffee blends of "Good Mood Juice" to delicious breakfast treats and smoothie bowls.

The brightly decorated shop, with its artistic murals and welcoming atmosphere, has quickly become a favorite since opening in December 2020. Owner Sabrina Kaylor and her team roast their own beans right in Downtown Canton, just steps away from the coffee shop itself. Talk about local!

In addition to your classic coffee favorites available year-round, Bizarre has a seasonal rotating menu, with their unmissable Fall-inspired menu currently on offer at the time of writing.

If you were waiting for your sign to stop by and experience why Bizarre Coffee is a local favorite, this is it!

Whitetail Coffee Company

Shaune and Judy Huysamen, originally from Cape Town, South Africa, brought their passion for quality coffee to Canton when they opened Whitetail Coffee Company at The Mill on Etowah in 2021. The couple’s journey into the coffee world began with Whitetail Bicycles & Coffee in Milton, but in Canton, they’ve focused solely on their love of coffee.

Whitetail Coffee Company serves up expertly crafted drinks using Intelligentsia Coffee beans, hailed by coffee connoisseurs for their consistent quality. Their menu includes classic favorites like drip coffee and lattes, along with unique specialty drinks like the Whitetail Special—a delicious blend of cinnamon, honey, and vanilla.

Whitetail Coffee Company is a must-visit for coffee lovers looking to enjoy a great cup in Canton.

Alma Coffee

Alma Coffee, founded by Leticia and Harry Hutchins in 2018, is more than just a coffee shop—it’s the continuation of a family tradition that began over five generations ago in the mountains of Honduras. Leticia, a fifth-generation coffee farmer, and her father, Al Lopez, are continuing a proud family heritage of coffee farming that has been passed down through generations on their family farms.

With a commitment to “Improving Lives, Sustainable Practices, and Extraordinary Coffee,” Alma Coffee ensures that each step of their "farm-to-cup" process is carefully managed. From planting and harvesting on their own farms in Honduras to roasting at their roastery in Canton, the Alma team maintains complete control over the quality, production, and distribution of their coffee.

Alma also stands out with its cozy "Quiet Room," a great spot to relax or catch up on work without distraction. If you’re planning a team meeting, the café also offers complimentary access to their private conference room with any purchase. And with seasonal items regularly added to the menu, there’s always a new reason to stop by and enjoy Alma's offerings and amenities.

Frik & Frak Market

Frik and Frak Market is The Mill on Etowah's newest go-to. Known for more than just its gourmet, locally-made pasta sauces. Inside this cozy market, you’ll find a coffee bar that serves up handcrafted beverages made with Kaldi Coffee beans.

Pair your drink with one of their freshly-baked treats, and be sure to try unique specialties like the Lavender Honey Latte or the Brown Sugar Shaken Iced Latte. Frik and Frak’s inviting atmosphere and delicious offerings make it a must-stop on your Canton Coffee Tour.
