"Food for the body is not enough. There must be food for the soul."
-Dorothy Day



Our Cafe
Food for the Soul
In 2001, Sam and Julia Norton started The Dahlonega Desserety, now named The Picnic Cafe and Dessertery. With family recipes that come from the heart, Sam and Julia take pride in their food being simple and southern. All of our meals are prepared here daily with the same fresh ingredients used at home. Being a part of the community on the quaint Dahlonega square, we consider our employees and customers a part of our one big family!
