Flour, Water, Salt Artisan Bakery and Cafe (FWS) - Cornelia, Georgia

Sharon

FWS was recommended to me by a client and I am so glad I trusted her. The food here is AMAZING! I bought one of their quiches and it was the best quiche I have ever eaten. I then had to get one of their scones for a snack tonight and I can't wait to try it. Everything is made on-site. Fresh and delicious!

While heading North to hike for the day, my wife and I stopped in Cornelia and found this quaint and welcoming cafe downtown. The owner couldn’t have been kinder and had a great sense of humor. He was all alone working during the lunch rush, but we patiently waited 25 minutes for our meal.

It was absolutely fresh, delicious, and I couldn’t recommend the food more, BUT I have to take it down a star because of two overcharges on the bill. The meat and potato pie on the menu said it comes with a side salad. It’s a very small garnish of a salad, but I was charged $2.50 extra for it. That was nowhere mentioned and I certainly would have passed on it. $15 was a little steep then, in my opinion, and not the posted price. All of the danishes were listed at $6.50, and we were charged $7.50 for ours. It was good, but definitely not worth it. I’m not going to go broke over an extra $3.50 (and I still left 20% because the owner was so nice and all alone), but the deception of the overcharging left a bad taste after a nice experience. I’d still return, but will be more aware the next time.

Checked out a delightful bakery in Cornelia this weekend and it was really delicious. The chef is British, friendly and kind and takes beautiful pride in his baked goods, coffee, salads and sandwiches. We all decided we couldn't wait to visit his Cafe next time we were there! If you go, tell Colin we said Hello!
10/10 highly recommend

Absolutely amazing experience! This was my first time visiting, and I felt so welcomed from the moment I walked in. The owners are incredibly sweet and took the time to explain everything to me. What truly blew me away was that they were actually closed when I arrived, but they still brought everything back out just to show me what they had—such genuine kindness and hospitality! Their treats, chicken salad, egg salad, and focaccia bread are all absolutely delicious. I highly recommend stopping by—you won’t be disappointed!

Hey B.

We have been wanting to go here for a while, and I wish that we hadn’t waited for so long! This was fantastic. As all the other reviews say, the owners were a delight to talk with, and Colin takes pride in his craft. We had a quiche and pie for lunch , and took home a plethora of other items (including scone, croissant, danish and claw). The quality of the food was impeccable. There aren’t many places where I leave and am filled with the kind of satisfaction that I felt when we were here. You must go here!!! Don’t wait, go now 🙂

Great food! Everything we had was absolutely incredible! And of course our London accented chef made everything that much more authentic. 😊 Will definitely return!!

Literally the best sourdough bread I’ve ever had in my life, no exaggeration. The pastries are all so delicious, you really can tell that everything is made in house with the best ingredients. The owner is such a character, he is clearly a master of his craft and enjoys it too. He goes the extra mile to ensure your experience is not just good but amazing. I will never go to Starbucks for lunch again. If Collin has one fan, it’s me. If he has one customer for the day, it’s me. Period, the end.

Fantastic European-style pastries and breads which are refreshingly NOT sugary-sweet. The true flavors of the butter and other ingredients are delightful. Fresh homemade sandwiches. Wonderful coffees and teas. We were super impressed on our first visit. Owner (Colin) is delightfully funny and very friendly. We'll be back.
