Slices of cinnamon roll French toast, warmed syrup, bacon, and fresh coffee.
Sherry C.

Be sure to stop by this gem of bakery in Buford, Georgia located just a few miles away from The Mall of Georgia. The place has been in business since 1958. While most people go there to get their cakes and cookies for special occasions, the breakfast and lunch offerings make this a worthwhile destination for anyone who is hungry. The prices are reasonable (about 11-13 for a plate). The portions are generous. (Other meals at my table took up several plates, I was looking for a smaller option). The food is excellent with professional touches that can make or break the experience. For example, the syrup was warm, the cinnamon roll was sliced for better syrup application before being battered, and can buy the mugs if you want one. The service is great. The cinnamon roll toast came with hash browns but I didn't want more starch on top of the rolls and syrup. The waitress rang me up a la carte so that the meal came out the same price but I skipped on the hash browns and got bacon instead. The place was quiet but busy with lot of groups of older men and a few mix gendered groups having breakfast at 8:30-9:30am on a Wednesday morning. Only one word of warning: this is a bakery, they don't stay open very late because they open early.

I get bakery things here all the time. EVERYTHING is always so delicious. And the inside atmosphere is soooooo cute and welcoming. The service is also very helpful and polite. The breakfast was on point! Simple, flavorful and not overwhelming or too filling. The bacon was Smokey and perfectly cooked.

Tasted delicious and each tier was a different flavor (if you're into that).

Malinda is such an accommodating & understanding owner and baker who truly brought our vision to life (we wanted an elegant and minimal wedding cake). Her cakes are absolutely delicious with a wide variety of options at fair prices. I didn't want to leave the bakery because I was amazed at all the beautifully made cakes and other pastries, it was like flower shopping but better lol. I highly recommend her to all future brides!

Sausage, eggs, and hashbowns

No surpise, the service remains good here. Same people working every time we come in to visit. She had the breakfast bowl, and I had the sausage, egg, and hashbrowns. Both very tasty meals. Parking was plentiful, not very busy on a Thursday at 9:45AM. Discounts for seniors over 62. On our way out, we picked up some bakery items for later today. They look awesome. We will be back.

Monster cake. Wedding cake flavor.

Love their breakfast (basic eggs toast and potatoes). And their bakery is the bomb. You must try a slice of their white wedding cake. My sister just purchased a "monster" themed cake for her one year old granddaughter and got the white wedding cake flavor. Soooooo goood

Mother's Day goodies - petit fors (Fav!) And delicious sugar cookies!

My family and I love this little spot! They have a beautiful bakery with everything you can imagine. Everything is so fresh, delicious and beautiful!! They also have a little cafe with brunch items and coffees. Breakfast on Saturday is always crowded, but well worth any wait there may be. It's my favorite spot!

The food was so good I forgot about a picture of it. They make their bread in house so if you visiting I recommend the rosemary olive bread ( and I'm not an olive person, but it's very light on olives and compliments the bread and rosemary well) The staff is super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, very quick too, even on a busy Saturday Morning Very chill too for Saturday The pastries are light, fluffy and so delicious too. ** Biggest thing for me is that even though everyone is raising prices they are still very reasonable, so much so I asked to have them double check my check before paying. They feel like they are staying true to their patrons. Will definitely be going back to try more #supportlocal #supportsmallbusiness
