Not only is this a world class bakery with the best treats in town, it is a non-profit whose mission is to provide employable skills to special needs adults. Everything here is fresh and yummy. However, the cheesecake is my fav. Located in Lawrenceville. About 10 minute drive from Suwanee.

If it’s not at Dekalb Farmer’s Market, you don’t need it. Produce is brought in around the clock and definitely the widest selection of produce, meats, cheeses, and spices in the area. Keep in mind it’s very packed on the weekends. Good idea to travel with someone and have them manage the cart while you walk around and shop.
