A new spot for sweet treats is now open in downtown Atlanta, just off the Georgia State University campus.
The first metro Atlanta location of growing chain the Peach Cobbler Factory debuted recently at 171 Auburn Ave. SE. The franchise location comes from sisters Peyton Williams and Dorian Allen, who wanted to bring some of their favorite sweets to their hometown.
“Dessert is one of those things that everyone loves, especially Southerners,” Allen said. “Cobbler isn’t even close to home — it is home. It’s one of those desserts that transcends location.”

Beverages include bottled Sweet Peachy Tea, cold-brew coffee and milk.
The counter-service spot offers limited seating, a grass wall known as a Peachy Wall in the lobby, a chalk wall that customers can draw on while they wait to order.
