The 5,000-square-foot space looks like an old Victorian house with a patio and serves to pay homage to the owner Jill Harris's grandmother, Mary Lucille. “She taught me to bake at age 8. She’s the reason I love food,” Harris explains. Much of the food is made using her original recipes, including cinnamon rolls and pies. Patrons can purchase items to-go from the bakery, from bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits to baguettes to brownies.

Crooked Culture owner Patrick Leonard has been brewing beer for 20 years. He’d be home-brewing in his garage and notice the police come by “and do the slow roll. My neighbors thought I was doing something shady or illegal,” he says.

Located in the new Cumming City Center, Crooked Culture is designed to be a social space.

The fish and chips at Wright’s are unlike any other you’ll find in the metro. The batter that coats the flaky Norwegian cod is light and perfectly crisp. The chips are thick and expertly fried.
