Grapes & Beans Cafe

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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!

Absolutely amazing experience!!! Vibrant elegant and inviting atmosphere, delicious food, friendly and attentive staff. Can't wait to go back!

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.

Great environment, friendly and efficient staff. The food was absolutely wonderful. Just really like the ambiance.

A hidden gem ! By far the most delicious place I’ve been in a long time. I’ve been 3x this week just because their food was incredible and service was over the top! Jill and Scott the owners were so welcoming and all the staff including Jenai who waited on me each day with a smile. This gem just felt like home and Jill will be a long time friend. They have farm 2 table cocktails and Bellini Flights! What!?! Fantastic surprise. Highly recommended. I will be back EVERY time I’m here. Your missing out if you haven’t tried Grapes and Beans.

Must-stop cafe! My family visited Grapes and Beans twice during our two-day stay in Clayton because we enjoyed it so much.

The food is scrumptious! The wait staff is attentive, kind, and very helpful. They make you feel so welcome. Due to my compromised immune system, we ate on the patio and felt safe (despite the pandemic). Definitely try their signature sandwich!

Stopped in while driving back to Atlanta from North Carolina. The food was fantastic, service was quick, staff was nice, and the atmosphere is so cute! We had the G&B Signature Sandwich and the Roast Beef Wrap with the seasonal side. SO delicious and satisfying for a quick bite. Will definitely stop by again when we’re driving this way.

Excellent food. Veggie Pita is one of the best veggie meals out there. We tried the tomato soup for the first time. A unique flavor and also very good. You can never go wrong at G&B.

Everything about this place is excellent, the service, decor, and food went above and beyond any expectations i had. The menu is seasonal which is awesome. I chose the meatloaf sandwich special and my girlfriend had the G&B sandwich. Every ingredient on our sandwiches was so delicious and fresh, and both the potato salad and coffee were excellent as well. You can really appreciate a spot that has this much going right, and you'd definitely be missing out by passing over this place. Highly, highly, highly recommend!

We stopped by on our way out of town and I'm so glad we did! The food was great and we really enjoyed the outdoor seating (the blankets provided for those who got chilly were a nice touch). The staff was also very friendly which was not my experience at other restaurants in Clayton.

My wife was craving coffee since our morning had been consumed cleaning the VRBO cabin for departure. They had both half-&-half for her coffee and oat milk for mine (place is very vegan friendly).

My veggie pita (veganized) was delicious. I upgraded the side dish to the bowl of tomato soup and it was perfect in both taste and thickness. It was almost confiscated by my wife and daughter so they could dunk their sandwiches. Wife had the G & B (turkey on Ciabatta) and daughter had grilled cheese - both of which were quickly devoured. My son had the chicken gyro which I never actually saw since he ate it so quickly.

Dessert was the salted caramel cake. Based on the comments from the family it might have been the best part of the meal... and that's saying something since everything else was so good.

We'll definitely be back!

An amazing gem in Clayton! We have been coming here regularly since winter and absolutely love it. The food is delicious, and you feel good after eating there. Plus they have veg options, and we like it that they source a lot of their ingredients locally. Service is top notch. Scott and Jill make everyone feel welcome and at home.

went to lunch for a friend's birthday. The owners and staff went above and beyond to accommodate to us. The food was fantastic, the ambiance amazing, the service friendly, helpful, and attentive! I got the twisted rueben with a side of watermelon salad......it was fantastic!!!! Thank you grapes and beans for making it such a perfect experience. I will definitely be back. If I could give 10 stars I would!

Great atmosphere, great staff, and great food. Not your average menu, but well above average--excellent! We had the grilled cheese sandwich and tomato basil. I would call it grilled cheesier cheese. Now this is a real grilled cheese sandwich, and the soup had a distinct taste that made my palate jump for joy.

We got the turkey sandwich on chibatta and it was great. It came with pasta salad that was also really good. Even the kids turkey on brioche was delicious. Nice atmosphere as well and they allowed us to place a to-go order close to closing and pick it up right at closing time. Overall great experience.
