We asked you to vote for your favorite places and people of Johns Creek, and you answered the call.

You can find the full Best of Johns Creek 2026 list in our April/May issue. But for online, we’re breaking it up into a series of smaller lists that will run twice-weekly through the end of May, showcasing the top vote-getters in each category.

This week, we’re sharing the results for best Coffee, Sweets, Treats and Breakfast.

Editor’s note: In order to ensure fairness and accuracy for our Best Of 2026 survey, we made every effort to weed out bots and any other activity that would falsely skew the results. Ties for 2nd and 3rd place winners were arrived at when vote totals were within 1–1.5% of each other.
