Briar Patch Marketplace & Cafe

We visited for lunch on a Saturday. The cashier was very helpful with the menu and describing what they had to offer. All of the staff was helpful! Their bathrooms were clean. We enjoyed the tomato bisque soup and pimiento cheese grilled sandwich. It was very delicious. They first brought out a regular grilled cheese but when we pointed out the mistake we were quickly provided with the correct sandwich. They have a lot on their menu I look forward to trying! Once you eat you can proceed to the marketplace and browse everything on offer. Lots of antiques and some new items. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a conversation with the cashier where he inquired about who we were and why we were visiting. Will be going back again!

It was super cute inside.. I love the vintage look with the Cafe inside. It is a great way to bring customers new and older in ❤

Coffee + Antiques = pure bliss
I come study here a lot because they have so many seating options along with the perfect aesthetic. I often take breaks to walk around the store part to look through all the antiques. Overall, this place is a true charm.

Was in town chauffering a friend's step son to General District Court. No visitors allowed in the court room. Had my pal Shell with. Was incredibly hot & humid that day. After waiting for about an hour, we decided to try to find breakfast. The Briar Patch showed as being very close to our location in downtown Galax.

I've visited subsequently, as well. Initially, we both ordered the homemade biscuits. Shell got biscuits/gravy. I had a bacon, cheese, egg biscuit. I also ordered an iced mocha latte. They actually have an espresso press on site! Coffee was yummy. Breakfast was yummy too. A tad expensive for two people. At 10am the place was popping with business.

The marketplace is quaint with all sorts of antiquity trinkets & treasures to be found.

I will add that my next visit to the Cafe was not quite as good. The bacon man can grill bacon for me, anytime. Just perfect! The espresso was a little bitter on my second visit and they were out of biscuits by 10 am. I did have sourdough toast with my order but it's just not the same.

This spot is located right on main street. Definitely. a favorite cafe of the locals or frequent court visitors. There is indoor/outdoor seating available. Go early, the fluffy, homemade biscuits do not last til brunch.

If you're in the area browsing shops or visiting court, definitely worth a trip!

This place is my second home. These folks have treated me like family from the very first time I stumbled in. Now, my day just isn't complete without seeing all my favs at the Cafe! The food is quick and very quality. Won't regret stopping in!!!!

The food was phenomenal. I got their version of a Cuban and it was delicious. And their Mac and cheese can revial and I can make at home. So delicious. They serve breakfast and lunch all day. Can't recommend enough 🤤🤤🤤

This was a surprise find in downtown Galax. We ate breakfast here and the food was excellent. I had biscuits and gravy while my wife had eggs and sausage. While there are tables to eat at, there is no table service for food. You order your food at the cash register and the staff brings the food to your table. The food was hot and delicious. However, we did not enjoy eating with styrofoam plates and plastic utensils. After eating, we shopped in the marketplace for antiques. All in all it was an excellent experience and we will return.

This is a hidden gem in Galax! We discovered it years ago while antique shopping and have been returning customers since. Great soups, sandwiches , coffee drinks and ICE CREAM! Charming and great customer service. They also have music frequently which adds to the charm.

Outstanding breakfast and lunch fare with a wide selection and good specials.

Extensive hot drink menu. Gets busy at lunch

Never had a bad meal at Briar Patch. Sandwiches are all excellent, fairly priced, service always courteous. Outstanding deserts. Best restaurant in Galax.
