Georgia has been extra chilly recently. Like, what-is-going-on-I-moved-here-to-avoid-this chilly. Thankfully, the area around Traditions of Braselton, a beautiful golf course community in Hoschton, is full of cozy cafes and bakeries perfect for warming up when the winter weather decides to show off.
Here are a few local favorites worth bundling up for.
Hochston Coffee Company
We’ve got to start with Hoschton Coffee Company, a lovely cafe in Downtown Braselton. They serve locally-roasted coffee, specialty drinks (they even have a chocolate-covered strawberry latte, which we need immediately), and small bites like pastries and bagels.
Expect amazing seasonal flavors, like their current midwinter drink, the Bouquet Latte. It’s infused with violet, rose, and vanilla. And we wouldn’t be surprised if they sprinkled in some magic as well!
Looking for a super cute Valentine’s Day date? They’re hosting a special Valentine’s pop-up with The Peachy Bookshop! Get details here.
Sugar n’ Proof
If your love language is pastries, then you’ll love Sugar n’ Proof. This local bakery serves handcrafted cookies and treats made fresh daily—think danishes, scones, cinnamon rolls, and rich hot chocolate that makes you forget how cold it is outside. They also offer specialty toast like the Whipped Ricotta Toast and the Avocado Egg Salad toast!
Bistro To Go

Need your warmth on the run? Bistro To Go has gourmet treats and seasonal drinks to take with you. We’re talking chocolate croissants, cinnamon rolls, scones, muffins, cake pops, peanut butter pie (which sells out super fast), and more—all made from scratch. Drinks include seasonal and specialty lattes, flavored chai and matcha, and more.

Mady Cakes Bakery
Perfect for a sweet tooth. Mady Cakes Bakery serves cupcakes and cakes that make chilly mornings a little brighter. In fact, they’re so good that they often sell out! Grab a slice (or an entire pie) and enjoy a cozy moment indoors, or bring it home.
For special occasions, you can place a special cake order or just drop by and get whatever they have available that day for a delicious surprise.
Diesel Donuts and Coffee

We’re ending our cozy tour with Diesel Donuts and Coffee in Downtown Jefferson. Their cake donuts are made from scratch daily, and they also serve bagels from the Bronx, cannolis from Brooklyn, and locally roasted coffee, sourced from Jittery Joe’s coffee beans.
It’s the kind of place that makes winter mornings feel worth getting out of bed for. Look at their menu and plan your visit.
