Shop Small, Y'all!
Imagine this: you’re driving around looking for a spot to grab a delicious cup of coffee, so you look up "best coffee near me". Google suggests a small coffee shop off the side of the road atop a hill. You walk in and are greeted by some of the kindest people you’ve ever met and get one of the best cups of coffee you’ve ever had. You discover that shop is a woman and veteran-owned small business that imports their coffee beans directly from their family farm in Honduras. Not only did you purchase a product that was exceptional, but you can feel good about spending your money in a way that greatly impacts your community.
As you’ve probably come to figure now, that’s the story of many our customers at Alma Coffee. We are so thankful for the community that we have in Cherokee County who have bolstered us and given us the stability that allows us to sell our coffee nationwide (shoutout Cherokee Connect). The continued support we have gotten at home has laid the groundwork for us to scale our business and create a larger community: our Alma Familia.
As a small business in Cherokee County, it is so important to us to support other small businesses in the community. Here’s a few of our favorites:
If you’re looking for an authentic New York style bagel, this is the place to go. Their everything bagel with lox spread is one of the best. If you stop by, you can also grab a cup of Alma Coffee. Is there a better duo than a bagel and a cup of coffee? We think not.
2. Eden
Smoothie bowls are all the rage these days, especially smoothie bowls that you can be certain are made with whole, fresh ingredients. Eden truly is a gem in the heart of Downtown Woodstock. Their smoothies are incomparable. Not in the mood for something fruity? No worries! They offer a variety of different foods, including an avocado toast that is seriously scrumptious. Eden is one of those places that you can grab a quick bite that you can be sure is nutritious.
Nature’s Corner Market is a locally owned and operated health foods store. They have everything you might need ranging from organic produce to natural skin care. They also have a full service natural foods cafe that serves gluten free and vegan options (they also serve Alma Coffee wink wink). If you’re looking for foods that you can feel good about eating and will support a healthy lifestyle, this is the place to go!!
Speaking of a healthy lifestyle, if you haven’t been to the Holistic Lifestyle Center, you are seriously missing out. They offer a variety of amazing food options that taste incredible. More than that, they also offer life coaching, yoga classes, and nutritional coaching. If you’re looking for some advice on changing your lifestyle or overall just being healthier, this is the place to go!
5. Pie Bar
Having a healthy lifestyle is great and all, but sometimes you just need a sweet treat. Balance out all that healthy with a scrumptious slice of blueberry pie (or any other flavor of your choosing). The Pie Bar is the place to go if you’re looking to satisfy that sweet tooth. They offer some of the best pies in the state of Georgia. We may be biased, but there is seriously nothing better in this world than a slice of freshly-made, warm, delicious pie with a hot cup of coffee (which they also serve in the store). If you’ve never tried Pie Bar, you’ve never experienced true happiness.
Small businesses are the backbone of Cherokee County and as a small business ourselves, we take every opportunity we can get to support those in the same boat. Starting and owning your own business is no small task, and it is important to us that we take the time to encourage and uplift those venturing into the same avenues. Here at the Roastery, we host pop-ups for small, local businesses to give them a space to sell their products! Make sure you check out the other small businesses in our area, and maybe even get a cup of Alma Coffee while you're there!

I have been suffering from Herpes for the past 1 years and 8 months, and ever since then I have been taking series of treatment but there was no improvement until I came across testimonies of Dr. Silver on how he has been curing different people from different diseases all over the world, then I contacted him as well. After our conversation he sent me the medicine which I took according to his instructions. When I was done taking the herbal medicine I went for a medical checkup and to my greatest surprise I was cured from Herpes. My heart is so filled with joy. If you are suffering from Herpes or any other disease you can contact Dr. Silver today on this Email address: drsilverhealingtemple@gmail.com or Whatsapp +2348120513902
I almost lost my marriage when I watched my wife turned into a total stranger and left the kids and I. I was so furious knowing I had done everything possible to ensure I sustained my marriage as a father and husband. The terrible fights we had traumatized me and I couldn’t function properly as a man. I kept on trying to find out what made her did what she did which made me contacted Dr Isikolo. I was surprised to have found out that she was under a huge manipulation from a man who wanted to ruin my marriage with her and take her away from me. Dr Isikolo had to intervene and fixed the problem thereby ensuring she was rescued from the claws of the dark magic charm they used on her. Knowing that I was able to get my family together again with the help of Dr Isikolo gives me joy and I am forever thankful to him.

I was once lured into a crypto currency investment platform that I came across on Instagram. I lost about $508,000 to this evil scheme after I invested and accumulated profits, I was denied withdrawals on the specified date. I wrote to the customer support but I was given no feedback, I knew I had been scammed and I started to search for a way to recover my crypto.. I considered myself fortunate that I stumbled upon a post on the internet web about kingshacker Recovery Company. I would highly recommend kingshacker Recovery to anyone who wants to recover their lost funds from any scam. They are the best in the business and will do anything possible to help you get your money back. I never thought it would be possible to get back crypto once it is sent but I’m super happy and grateful for the services of kingshacker Recovery. Kindly reach out to them if you need any help.

I was paid $30 per hour at work and it was a stressful job, I was researching online for a better job when I saw testimonies of how Dr Uyi helped people with his spell to win lottery. I have not played the lottery game before so I wondered how it works, I spoke to Dr Uyi asking for help to win the lottery game too. He responded and requested for my name and picture, I did as he instructed and the items were bought to cast the spell, after the casting of the spell he gave me a lottery number which was revealed to him by the gods when he was casting the spell. I played the lottery numbers and two days later I got an email that I won 139 million dollars($139,000,000). I thought it was a joke but behold I got paid without stress. Dr Uyi is a great Psychic, join me thank him. You can also contact him via email: drzukalottospelltemple@gmail.com OR

THIS IS REAL. I REPEAT, THIS IS REAL. The black mirror is real, the black mirror is really powerful, effective and 100% reliable. My name is Walter Brian, I want to thank Dada Magical for giving his black mirror to me. Since he gave me his black mirror, I became rich, successful, protected, informed and powerful. I was browsing through the internet one day when I saw multiple testimonies on how Dada Magical has helped so many people with his black mirror. I thought it was a joke at first but I gave it a try and contacted him. He sold the black mirror to me and told me how to use it and all that I need to do. I followed the instructions just as he told me and to my greatest surprise, it worked just as he told me. The black mirror is still working for me. The mirror also brings good luck, blessings and information. Contact Dada Magical now on his email; Dadablackmirrors@gmail.com and he will help you also with the black mirror just the same way he helped me. Thank you Great Dada Magical.
