Canton Street in Roswell, Georgia, is a delightful destination that perfectly blends historic charm with modern boutiques and restaurants.

Our exploration of Canton Street began with a visit to Linen & Flax Clothing. This charming boutique immediately welcomes you with inviting porch swing beds placed right out front, beckoning you to take a seat and relax.

Before pausing for lunch, we stepped into Raiford Gallery, and it was truly breathtaking. The gallery itself is housed in a stunning two-story wooden building, boasting a beautifully designed interior and large windows that flood the space with natural light. Once we could draw our eyes away from the building’s architecture, the exquisite pottery, diverse artwork, and handcrafted jewelry within captured our attention. The jewelry selection was particularly captivating, showcasing an array of unique, handmade designs in various styles and materials. A return trip to Raiford Gallery is definitely on the cards, both for personal treats and for finding special gifts. Simply browsing the gallery evokes a deep appreciation for the skill and creativity inherent in jewelry making and the various art forms displayed.

Just a short walk through a charming alleyway behind Raiford Gallery led us to Adele’s for a taste of authentic Cajun cuisine. Adele’s proved to be a culinary highlight of our Canton Street exploration. We indulged in the daily appetizer special, Pimento Grit Sticks, savored a flavorful muffuletta sandwich, and delightfully concluded our meal with classic beignets for dessert. Adele’s offers a genuine taste of Louisiana right on Canton Street, making it a perfect dining destination.
