Earth Momma’s Kitchen — Restaurant in Helen

We were excited to try this place, but wow… what an experience. It took 15 minutes to be seated and almost an hour for our food — meanwhile, the extremely quiet, cramped dining room made it hard to have a normal conversation. When my friend politely asked about the wait, the waitress told her she “didn’t have to yell.” I promise, talking at a normal volume probably counts as shouting in there.

The food was just okay — bacon, eggs, toast — bacon not as crispy as I like, coffee $3 with no automatic refills, and my sugar got ruined when a water spill turned the bowl into a tiny swimming pool.

The ambiance was… weird. Imagine massage music with crickets, running water, and rain sounds. I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to eat or take a nap. We also weren’t allowed to sit at one of the six empty outdoor tables because we didn’t have a dog.

Oh, and the bathroom is a two-stall “family” bathroom, shared by men and women, which was… a little unsettling.

Overall, decent food but slow service, awkward music, quirky rules, and cramped space make this more of a “we survived” story than a...

I recently moved to Atlanta and my friends highly recommend Helen to visit. Earth Momma's Kitchen is definitely one of the highlights! Just a short 5 minute drive from the super busy downtown where you have to pay $10 for parking, this restaurant nestled at the end of a quite shopping plaza next to a big cuckoo clock shop. The Kitchen is a perfect blend of southern hospitality, fresh, delicious, healthy but HEARTY food. When Kim showed me the menu, I asked which salad she liked best, she said "I like them all, because I created all of them :-)". Their house-made fire cider salad dressing is out of the world! Super delicious and additive! So I bought one home.

Don't forget to visit the Apothecary next door, also founded by Kim. Here I found a wide selection of herbal teas with proven health benefits. I also learned that Kim has extensive training in the health science field (DNP, IHH, MSN, CPNP, CAT). These knowledge enables her to create blends of plant-based remedies, just the way the traditional medicine and Mother Earth...

Everything was amazing!! The shop next to the restaurant was so cool and had so many organic things and super cool rocks! The woman we talked to was so kind and explained a bunch of things in the store. When we got seated the decor and atmosphere was so chill and had such awesome vibes. Our waiter was amazing and super sweet! We ordered the avocado toast, the Belgian chocolate pancakes, Kids pancakes, and the butchered omelette. Everything was amazing! The avocado toast was perfectly toasted and the avocado was deliciously seasoned. The Belgian chocolate pancakes were excellent. The chocolate was imported and it was delicious. The kids pancakes were perfect for our little one. The butcher’s omelette was delicious. We also ordered the Cocoa peanut butter protein mushroom smoothie and it was AMAZING!! They are also super kid friendly. I love this place and I definitely suggest coming her for a meal...
