Canton Street in Roswell, Georgia, is a true gem that perfectly embodies Southern charm. This delightful street is renowned for its unique collection of boutiques, home décor stores, art galleries, and restaurants, all nestled within beautifully renovated historic homes. This blend creates a distinctly Southern atmosphere, making it a must-visit destination. While exploring all of Canton Street’s offerings might take some time, given the variety of restaurants and shops, a recent visit highlighted some standout spots.
One of the first stops was Linen & Flax Clothing (L&F). This charming boutique immediately welcomes visitors with inviting porch swing beds at the front, beckoning you to relax. The clothing at L&F exudes comfort and a lightweight feel, perfect for the Georgia summer heat, yet versatile enough for any season given Georgia’s unpredictable weather. Don’t miss their L&F home store just down the street for even more Southern-inspired finds.
Next on the exploration was Steel & Cotton, a delightful home store filled with unique treasures.

A truly impressive stop was the Raiford Gallery. The building itself is simply stunning; a two-story wooden structure boasting a beautiful interior and large windows that flood the space with natural light. Once you can tear your eyes away from the architecture, you’ll be captivated by the incredible pottery, artwork, and jewelry within. The handmade jewelry is particularly noteworthy, featuring diverse and beautiful designs. A return trip to Raiford Gallery is definitely in order, both for personal browsing and gift-seeking. Simply admiring the displays showcases the remarkable work and creativity involved in jewelry making.

After immersing ourselves in art and home décor at Raiford Gallery, a short walk through a charming alleyway behind the building led to Adele’s for a taste of Cajun cuisine. Adele’s proved to be a truly delicious experience. The meal included the appetizer special, Pimento Grit Sticks, a flavorful muffuletta sandwich, and the perfect sweet ending – beignets for dessert.
