Came here for lunch today while in town on business, and had an overall excellent experience. From the minute you walk in the door, you can tell it's a well-oiled machine. Great pride seems to be taken in the cleanliness of the place, the service, the quality of the food, and the dedication to ensuring the customer feels appreciated. I had the buffalo chicken panini. Incredibly good. I wish they were in Atlanta so I could enjoy this meal weekly. I have heard the burgers are excellent, and I'll be tempted to try one next time I'm there, but it's going to be hard to have to forego that buffalo chicken panini in the interest of trying something else. I typically don't order dessert when I go out to eat, but I made an exception today because the baked goods behind the glass counter looked entirely too good to pass up, even though I was already pretty full. I ended up going with a lemon square that reminded me of the ones my mom used to make when I was a kid, and a "Mississippi Mud" chocolate/marshmallow bit of perfection that I intended to save for tomorrow. Needless to say, I couldn't wait. Phenomenal. If I'm not mistaken, all of the desserts are 100% homemade, no mixes, etc. I hear they have very tasty breakfast options, as well.
Last but certainly not least is the enjoyment that comes from the relaxed atmosphere of this restaurant, and - to reiterate - the evidence you're surrounded by, that points to the owners' and employees' devotion to quality and attention to detail. This is only my second Yelp! review and I felt that Pine City Bakery & Deli was worth commenting on, and I hope many, many others have the opportunity to enjoy this place as much as I did. I'm already looking forward to going back! read more
