West Cobb is where I've grown up, and it is a place that will always be part of me. We've all heard of the "East Cobb Snobs", but I think it is time to define the better half of the county, at least in my opinion.
1. Tiny Bubbles
Located in Marietta Square, Tiny Bubbles holds all of your bubble tea needs. My personal favorite is the Peaches and Cream bubble tea, but their menu holds a variety of flavors.
2. West Cobb Diner
Okay, maybe I'm slightly biased because I've worked here for a while but let's be honest for a minute. I'm here almost every day and I don't think I could ever get sick of the food.
3. Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield
This park is pretty much located in my backyard. Though you can hike the mainstream trail, there are also many other side trails around the mountain that hold great historic value and can entertain anyone for a while.
4. Nothing Bundt Cakes
Located in the new shopping center on Barrett Parkway, this is probably one of my favorite places to grab dessert or fix a craving for sweets.
5. The Frozen Cow
This is not your typical ice cream shop. This is one of the ice cream places where they use the nitrogen to create your ice cream with all of the delicious toppings that you would like, enough said.
6. Cillies
Cillies is a consignment shop located next to the West Marietta Kroger. You can buy cheap fashion items there. Also, if you're feeling extra thrifty, you can even sell your own clothes in exchange for cash!
7. The Daily Grind
If you need a caffeine fix, the Daily Grind is my go-to. This place is like a homemade Starbucks, essentially. You'll find a wide assortment of bakery items, smoothies, frappes, and several coffee selections on the menu. This is also a great place to study or get work done if you need to!
8. Marietta Pizza Company
Not going to lie, I could probably eat a pepperoni and cheese stromboli from here every. single. day. I'm constantly craving it. On the plus side, UberEats will also deliver this one if you're not within the delivering zone.
9. Kennesaw State University
The Kennesaw Campus is my home, and a great campus to tour if you're in the area. Kennesaw's campus looks gorgeous all year and is a great place to take an afternoon stroll or hang an eno and chill out for the day.
10. Dave Poe's BBQ
This BBQ place is an absolute classic, and a must if you plan on stopping into the Marietta/West Cobb area.
While East Cobb is fancy, West Cobb is home. I wouldn't have it any other way.
