As a realtor and coffee lover in Canton Georgia, I'm always looking to learn more about the coffee shops that I know and love here in our city. Today I want to introduce you to one of my very favorite local shops. Welcome to Frik and Frak Market. So, the name Frik and Frak, that's actually my brother and I. Francy and Frankie is Frick and Frack. We're siblings and we've been cooking together our whole lives. Good food has always brought our family together. So, in 2016, we started selling our handmade pasta sauces at local farmers markets and it just took off from there. I have a degree from the Culinary Institute of America. Frank comes from a career in IT and we kind of make an unlikely pair, but honestly, that's what makes it work. When we found this space out here in Union Hill, we thought this is the chance to build something bigger, not just sauces, but a whole experience. A place where people can come in, grab an incredible cup of coffee, pick up fresh baked pastries, stay for lunch, or grab one of our gourmet frozen meals to take home to their family. We use locally roasted coffee, our baked goods are made fresh every day, and our gourmet meals feature our own recipes and sauces. Whether you're grabbing a lavender honey latte on your way to work or sitting down for one of our supper club dinners, we hand select products that we actually believe in. Our goal is build a community around food and Canton has just welcomed us with open arms and that has meant everything to us. So, if you haven't been out to see us, come on by. We're at 2805 Lower Union Hill Road, right here in Canton. We're open 7 days a week and we'd love to have you. This is exactly the kind of locally owned community-driven business that makes this city such a special place to live. I love living here in Canton and if you do too, you should follow my page for more insider Canton news and real estate advice on how to succeed here.
