Was in town visiting and stopped in for brunch, got a birds nest, sausage, half an avocado, fruit, and a london fog, genuinely one of the best breakfast platters I've gotten, and the london fog definitely was the best I've had. Wish I lived in GA so I could eat here every day, please check it out!!
This place was AMAZING! There was a little line, but it moved very quickly. We barely had a time to set down before our food was being brought to us. The French Toast is amazing, and it makes you want more. And if you're not an alcoholic drinker like me, get the Orange Creamescicle drink! The only problem with it was that there wasn't free refills! 😋 The outside dining area is amazing on a beautiful day. If you haven't tried this place, you must!
They did it again!!!! You ever felt like there was a party of flavors and textures in your mouth...if not...your missing out!!! This dish here was an amazing treat today... Mediterranean chicken kabobs.. grilled chicken perfectly cooked.. crispy outside tender inside!! Fire roasted red peppers grilled red onions and cherry tomatoes over a bed of quinoa salad topped with there classic chimichurriand my favorite feta cheese!!!! There a reason this is there special!!!! Packed flavors and textures it was the best lunch in a while I guess since the last time I was here 😂. Don't forget the fries either !!! there not little pieces like them other places that's for sure ..crispy with a hint of garlic!!! Take the time to make your self happy and come enjoy what I just did!! They have great desserts as well! It's a beautiful day to have a beautiful meal!!
We had an amazing experience! Our event was huge success and everyone raved about the food and service! We could not have asked for more!
Had an awesome experience with BCB catering. Elana helped us organize, and Savannah, Eliza, Audrey, Deen and Chef David killed it. Was a perfect low key venue for 40-50 people and awesome food, great service and an all around positive experience. Would absolutely recommend and now I need an excuse to have another party there.
Fabulous, the french toast was very orange flavored and both moist and crispy. The gravy was herbed up and very good as well. The apricot almond pastry was the showstopper (not pictured, ate immediately), but the food and service was all great. Will be returning
Thanks Big City Bread and Elana in catering they did a phenomenal job with our lunch order for our office. Professional, responsive, and most importantly- delicious!! Do not hesitate to order their boxed lunches for your group.
We searched for dog friendly places to eat and this place was perfect! 🤩 The food was fresh and the outdoor seating under the trees nice on a hot summer day! 🌞I enjoyed a spinach salad with a side of chicken salad. We also had yummy BLT’s on sourdough bread and a wonderful grilled flounder sandwich. It was great to find stevia 🍃available for our tea too! We had to go home with a loaf of sourdough bread and coconut caramel lattes! We will return!👍😋
Perfect venue for a late spring birthday brunch! Broad menu has something for every appetite, with plenty of vegan and gluten-free options. Best coffee I've tasted in Athens. Staff are friendly, service is prompt, and the outdoor seating is a delightful experience filled with birdsong, gentle breeze, and dappled shade. I had a traditional southern 2 eggs over medium, with grits, biscuit, and soy sage patties; my birthday partner ordered the mushroom & spinach omelet. We shared bites, and mutually agreed everything was delicious. Our take-home treats of pecan pie bars and chocolate truffle stars were bakery delights. Definitely, this is on our list of repeat-visit brunch spots.
My mom and I (plus her granddog Maggie) had a wonderful lunch here yesterday! Loved the “pick 2” lunch menu - Mom had a fresh mozzarella/ tomato / basil sandwich with a cool, refreshing potato and leek vichyssoise, and I had the French Ham and Cheese sandwich with apple and spinach salad. Super delicious!!! Mom also bought a loaf of homemade sourdough bread since all the bread on our plates was sooooo good. Nothing beats fresh, chewy, flavorful homemade sourdough bread with some butter and slices of tomato! Can’t wait to come back for brunch sometime, and it’s exciting to see they serve brunch until 2 pm! Love that the patio is dog friendly too.
