Grapes & Beans Cafe

First, the people who run the restaurant are lovely. They are a sincere couple. Ultimately there are three issues with this restaurant - 1) the service is so sadly slow. Wait times can exceed more than one should ever wait 2) the food - although quality - is overpriced. and lastly 3) Its just plainly overhyped. I know that this may not come off as a positive review, because the people are very genuine who run this restaurant. But its very overhyped. If you're visiting town I would save yourself the trouble.

Great lunch and cocktails located right off of Main Street in Clayton, great ambiance either inside or outdoors. The outdoor patio is shaded. Service is always good to excellent.

Wonderful, fresh food with a focus on local purveyors. The menu is concise but thoughtful; there was something for everyone in our group. Everything was perfectly prepared and just so tasty. We sat out on the patio which is really lovely and has a great vibe.
When the bill came I had to check it several times because the total seemed too low for the number of people in our party and the amount of food we ordered. Seriously great value.
This is easily my new favorite in the area and I can’t wait to visit again and try the cocktails.
PS Don’t skip dessert - the homemade cakes are chef’s kiss!

Very special place - great menu, phenomenal food & wonderful vibe. This will be a regular haunt for us. Another Clayton/Rabun County star!

Delicious food! Great atmosphere! I would definitely recommend it. All I can say is that it would have been nice if the wait staff was more attentive. It took a while to get a refill for my drink. Other than that I had a great experience!

What a delightful place. Delicious healthy food - pictured here a rueben alternative with broccoli and portobello pita with tzatziki sauce. Both full of flavors. Accompanied with delicious home made pickles and seasonal specialty - watermelon salad. Drinks are a treat too: made by a local mixologist Carlton - blueberry lemongrass and peach lavender with or without Prosecco! All that is served in refreshingly modern take on rustic decorated outdoor patio. Safe distance included!

What a pleasant surprise to have this kind of healthy food in this small town. Excellent food, great service, beautiful restaurant and coffee was delicious. Indoor and outdoor seating area is just awesome. We will definitely return when we come back to town from NC, thank you for everything.

1st time visiting. Delicious food, atmosphere was great. Service was prompt and polite. Clean and trendy. Very nice place. Would recommend!

As a small business owner, I love and hate Google reviews. Most are on point but some reviews are ridiculous and have no idea the harm they are causing with a poor review.
The fact that anyone would give this lovely and thoughtful establishment anything other than a 4 or 5 star review is just silly. It’s a lovingly remodeled building in downtown Clayton, Ga. It’s family owned and they have made great effort to make it cozy and welcoming. The back patio is cool on a hot day and dog friendly. The food was prepared with care (please don’t complain if it takes 15-20 minutes to make your meal by hand) and was delicious and well presented. The service was excellent- familiar and warm. We stumbled in near closing after our truck broke down. They fed us, told us to take our time, and the waitress even offered us a ride home. Please support this wonderful business and appreciate when others serve you with effort and care. It’s so hard to make a business run well, but they are doing a great job in this cafe.

Our last visit here was our second time stopping by. We love their back outdoor patio, which is dog friendly. Nice and shady and very cute atmosphere. The waitstaff are always very friendly. The pimento cheese appetizer is amazing. The drinks were also very good. Every dish we have gotten from here has always been very good. We met the owner last time we were here. Great people. Highly recommend stopping in.
