1. On Tuesday, the Johnson Ferry Baptist Church opened a new coffee shop and eatery to the public. The new shop, called Provision Cafe, is an expanded version of a cafe that opened up two years ago primarily for church members and is aimed at inviting the larger East Cobb community to enjoy coffee, food, and informal gatherings with friends and family. The cafe is open on Monday-Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., on Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (East Cobb News)

Included on the list is Abbadabba’s, which has an East Cobb location at 1255 Johnson Ferry Rd. They carry some of the coolest shoe brands for all ages and give back to the community through various local (and global) programs. (Access Atlanta)
