It’s National Burrito Day. No joke.
Here are a few places (or not) to grab one today.
Community Cup
A locally owned and operated coffeehouse selling locally sourced products with a portion of proceeds going to local nonprofits. The definition of Community.
Of course, the shop has drip coffee, cold brew coffee, lattes, cappuccinos, and a variety of teas, but get adventurous and try the Carmalized Peanut + Brownie Latte, Sweet Cookie Latte, or the Gluten-Free Vanilla Chai Cookies. And Community Cup is the only shop in Cumming with Nitro Cold Brew.
Where: 125 Tribble Gap Rd suite 103, Cumming, GA 30040
