big city bread cafe

really good andfreshbut a bit expensive. the dressing makes this salad.

definitely my favorite breakfast spot in athens. they offer at least 2 gourmet, local coffees every day and they have the freshest bakery in the city. my wife and i usually get the a la carte with french toast, a legendary biscuit with local made jam, and somefreshprotein! they also offer amazing quiche that is madefreshdaily and comes in many varities. i can't recommend this place enough!

the café is spacious with plenty of booths and tables to choose from. they have a good selection on the menu and i quickly settled on the rainbow trout sandwich. melanie chose the grilled cheese on wheat with tomato. i got a bag of sea salt & vinegar chips while melanie went with the french fries.

grilled cheese sandwich on wheat with gruyere and provolone cheeses and sliced tomatoes. served with french fries. big city bread cafe, athens ga
the food hit the spot and tasted delicious. the rainbow trout was done perfectly. the tomatoes on both my sandwich and melanie’s grilled cheese, were hearty,freshand tasted great. melanie thought the fries were the best ever!

when in athens, we suggest you venture off the beaten path and find your way to big city bread cafe! guten appetit!

brunch. used to go all the time for brunch but now enjoy lunch and dinner.
pricy for the portions butfreshingredients.
eleonore is always sweet behind the counter.
wish there were not so many dogs though.

their array of baked goods are to die for and the 'big city burger' is the best burger in town imo. with a large outdoor patio and funky decor inside, there is always a pleasant ambiance here & i find it to be a lovely spot to dine for many occasions. i personally prefer their lunch to their breakfast. i haven't found their breakfast to be as unique and flavorful as their selection of lunch sandwiches and soups. of course, any of their baked breads (biscuits, muffins, baguettes, etc.) are alwaysfreshand scrumptious.

great soup. the tomato soup was amazing but the blue cheese bacon burger was only alright, it was a little on the salty side

pretty good. the tomato soup was delicious you could tell it wasfreshand the cheese in it went perfectly. the bacon and blue burger was a little salty but over all tasted good. the mac and cheese had a different flavor then what i am use to but it was still really good.

all things good and plenty. big city bread cafe is one of, or tied for 1st, in my opinion, for the best brunch, (however you define that), in athens. i mean they have great lunches, breakfasts, sandwiches, supper/dinners...and all good. always busy, fresh,freshingredients, and friendly service, although, occasionally one may get a server better or less than another -- i chalk it up to college town, and for me, there's no worries here. baguettes, a horn of plenty, take a couple home if they are available, egg dishes, french toast, variety of syrups, i assume home-made,soups - all delish..and i had to chuckle at one post-er who had never heard of, i think it was- salmon on a biscuit -- anything -lol, can go on a biscuit as good as these in the south - and it's great! i've always had great service - the price is right, and the flavor is definately "big city" with a refreshing small town feel. one of athens best!
