My visit was during the morning rush so there was a line to order but aside from it allowing me more time to choose my breakfast treats, I was also able to watch the baker pulling out fresh bread from the oven. It's truly a working bakery. The blue and white exterior is very eye catching as you arrive in the area and the warm natural color tones inside the bakery are soothing and elegant. The staff who took my order, as well as the one who made my coffee order, were very friendly and calm, despite having a decent line of eager customers hoping what they wanted wasn't taken by the customers before them. Tight quarters inside so not really a place to sit and savor your selections but they do have seating outside, in a patio area next door. If you purchase loaves of bread, you are able to have it sliced! I'm looking forward to trying the bread next time I'm in town. Definitely add this place to your next visit to Athens!

I've already brewed couple of cups and OMG!!! It offers notes of Dark Chocolate, Pecans, Pink Grapefruit and Guava. As I've been sipping on it, its whole beans are washed, well balanced, offer rich and bold flavors. You can taste the home roots. PARKING: It can be tricky to get in here. It's located off busy, S. Lumpkin Street. Parking is very limited as it shares it with five other businesses. There is additional parking nearby. RECOMMEND: Overall, this place is very unique. It offers something for everyone. They cater to kids and kids at heart... with a sweet tooth. Stop by or visit them online and see what all they have to offer.

Walking up to the place, I love the bright red tables outside. It adds such a fun vibrancy to the place. The windows are also decorated with beautiful strands of color. It creates such a fun vibe. I noticed the beautifully crafted truffles displayed in the glass case. They all looked so good! I asked the sweet gal for a variety of 8 pieces. I also got a salted caramel brownie as well. My truffles got boxed up with a cute white bow. My brownie was getting warmed up while the gal was helping another guest. I checked out the other items for sale while I was waiting for my brownie. I love all the Georgia Bulldog themed chocolates. There was also a different variety of chocolate bars available. I noticed they also sold espresso and coffee drinks at the shop. I wish I would have known about the coffee! I would have rather grabbed coffee from this joint and not from Starbucks. It will be something I'll have to try next time. My brownie was so good! The love the flakes of salt on the brownie. The sweet and salty combo is always a winner. It was heated up just right! There were caramel ribbons were in every bite. It's very decadent! Make sure you have a big glass of cold milk. You'll need it for this brownie! This was a neat little chocolate joint I got to check out. They have some really good sweets that you must try! The hazelnut truffle is a must have. I can't wait to share my truffles with my friends and family. I'll be sharing a piece of Athens with them.

Not only do the cakes look stunning but the flavor and texture of the cakes are absolutely phenomenal. I've been using them for every special occasion and birthday party for me and my daughter for over nine years. I can honestly say I will never go anywhere else. My personal favorite and the flavor I get the most compliments on at all my parties is the vanilla cake it reminds me of angel food cake but more dense giving it the perfect cake texture and flavor. The cake isn't overly sweet so the sweetness of the icing compliments it very well making for the perfect bite every time. I also love the pink champagne cake. It's a gorgeous pink cake with an almost bubbly flavor with the tastiest fluffiest icing. I'm for real obsessed. They also do cookies and cupcakes in an assortment of flavors that you can order or find in their case each day so yummy! The hummingbird, pink champagne, the Italian and the s'mores cupcakes are our favorites and ones we always pick up for a little treat when we are in Athens. The staff is always friendly and accommodating and they are fantastic at what they do! My daughter's birthday was this past week and they made a beautiful pastel vanilla cake that we have been eating literally every chance we get. It's just so good!! I included pictures from my daughter's birthdays over the years. 10 sweet years of beautiful cakes! Enjoy!

Food is quite reasonably priced and is one of the best brunches I've had in the state. The biscuits are quite excellent with the eggs and and old bay potatoes are incredible - crisp and flavourful. Sausage patties are also huge and juicy and tasty as compared to most diner patties you would get. Quiche had a great great filling. Bird's nest (egg in a hole with Gruyère and herbs) was the only item that was a disappointing. Coffees are made there and the salted maple was quite delightful! The regular espresso drinks are just ok, however. Parking is street around the restaurant, line is out the door a lot of the time, and when it isn't brutally cold sitting outside on the tables to eat seems quite nice. Highly recommended if you're checking out Athens or visiting your UGA kids or similar.

They have a nice variety of quality goods items. We have tried their holiday meal collections and been very pleased with their preplanned Thanksgiving turkey meal, Christmas meals , and Easter lamb meal-their ready-to-cook appetizer to dessert collections, as well as their brunch quiche specials. They make it easy to plan for group get -togethers or small family meals. We also like their deli special where you get 4 delicious light croissants when you buy a pound of their Chicken salad- for 4 tasty lunch sandwiches. Their produce, deli, cheese, and bakery items are well chosen. The meat dearest has good weekly specials. There are also weekly dinner specials with the ingredients gathered -ready for you to cook quickly at home without much meal prep time. They also have small coffee samples for the weekly coffee special-a nice touch as you shop. Personnel: The personnel are friendly and helpful. Even the manager and asst managers go out of their way to make sure you have a good experience. In the past when we have asked for special help, we received it with a smile.
