The shop was adorable with the gorgeous chocolates displayed visibly through the glass display case. I ended up just buying a vanilla bean latte and it was smooth and hot. I love that the shop had a set of barstools on the side of the shop. It gave it a homey feel.

I've been coming to Independent Baking Co. for years, and the quality has always been exceptional…read more My go-to choices are the sourdough bread and the rustic loaf--they're consistently fresh, flavorful, and some of the best bread you'll find. The pastries always look incredible, and the ones I've tried have been just as delicious. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and provides excellent customer service every visit. Independent Baking Co. is truly one of Athens' gems, and I highly recommend stopping by.

When we went the line was out the door as the customer area is tiny inside but it adds to the ambiance. We tried two pastries, can't recall the exact names - a peach and almond danish and a cinnamon bun. The peach danish but flaky and buttery. The peach flavor could have been a bit stronger but the danish was well made. The cinnamon bun was just live a cinnamon roll center without the icing but the custard in the middle was delicious. Excited to go back and get a load of bread. Prices were as expected.

The rice was super fluffy and sticky, which is perfect! The chicken was crispy and delicious with the sauce on it. The portion was huge! There had to be at least two whole chicken breasts, maybe more. I also got a mango green tea with lychee boba. The green tea had a bit of a floral flavor. The service is go quick. I will definitely be eating here again next time I'm in Athens!

I found this place during the summer looking for somewhere to take my nieces. We have been here…read moreseveral times! We have eaten outside , inside and taken the food / drinks to go. I love the customization available. The food and drinks don't take too long to make so typical an hour long process from order to finish eating / drinking . Parking may be the only issue and seating. The outdoor seating isn't always available or in a condition to sit at. Tables have fallen / tipped and our food has fallen. The drink itself has broken open ( due to younger kids playing with the straw lol) . Their seaweed salad is one item that we get a lot and do you wish that there were more seaweed in the salad than lettuce only complaint.

This Mexican Helado shop is completely unlike anything else in the food court. In addition to some…read morestandard flavors, they have a wealth of flavors such as tamarind (which I had and was delicious!), guava, pecan, mamey (a tropical fruit) and queso (cheese). They also have fresh tropical fruit drinks (aqua fresca) and traditional Mexican candies. They cater to a clientele of Mexican mall goers -- but deserve much broader support. This is the best and most unusual ice cream in Athens. In the mall's food court. Who woulda thunk??!!

The bagels were good. I think I just expected more from there. I do think this is a quick breakfast area that you can quickly go and pick up or a place where we can sit at if you're staying in Athens for the weekend, especially potentially a long weekend if you were there attending sports events. Again not a horrible place but definitely not the first place. I would go back to for bagel in Athens. Overall, pretty solid just nothing that wow's to me.
