broad street baking company and cafe

i'll order... you go find a seat. you will have plenty of time to browse the menu while your friend or family member scours for the precious seating commodity here.

that is the only downside i have to this awesome eatery. cannot ever find a seat. good luck if you have kids. try going up two flights of stairs looking for a seat with little ones in tow trying to find a table for 4. argh

provided you can find a seat. the food is awesome. the breads are out of this world, which makes the sandwiches special.lovethe food here. always dread finding a table.

best bread in jackson. the club on foccica is to die for. i have no idea how they do it! everything on their menu is great but i always stick with the club.lovehow the pasta salad as a side changes daily and is always delicious.

hidden treasure. one of the best lunch spots i’ve had in a long time. i really like the setting good atmosphere. outstanding place to go for a business meeting. great quality for the dollar. i reallylovetheir alfredo chicken pasta. it is outstanding better than olive garden and up there with carrabba’s. big menu from salads to burgers & array of desserts.

i know this place is a jackson institution of sorts but i just don't get it. counter service is run of the mill and drinks are self serve. i've never had a sandwich or soup here that i didn't think i could make for myself in my own kitchen. ilovewhat they do at bravo and i have great admiration for anyone who can sell a pizza at sal and mookies for $25. boss street is a glorified mcalistairs and i never feel good leaving there after paying $30 for a couple of sandwiches.

first of all, ilovebroad street; however, i was in for breakfast this morning and encountered the rudest server ever! her name is paris. she yelled across the room at one of the customers, then proceeded to use a sugary sweet sarcastic tone to tell that customer to have a nice day. when i asked paris for butter, she said it was on the table. now, i would not have walked to the counter to get butter if it was on the table, but i told her that my table had no butter. she rolled her eyes, reluctantly got the butter, dropped it, and rolled her eyes again. really? you work at a restaurant. i really enjoy all the mangia bene restaurants, but customer service is the most important aspect when dining.

love this place!. everything i've tried here has been great, i especially like the salads. their balsamic vinaigrette is perfection!lovethe deserts as well.

fave sandwiches, baked goods!. broad street is one of my favorite places for many things: sandwiches, baked goods, pizzas, and even their sides - all with distinct flavor and originality! my go-to sandwich is the blackened chicken (minus avocado, minus pepperjack, minus honey mustard, sub pesto & provolone and heated, please). for my side, it's their new white bean turkey chili (amazing!) or their gumbo (not overbearing, not loaded with okra; just the way i like it.) the full montie bar (as the name implies, a bit of brownie, a bit of coconut, a bit of oats and more) is a calorie splurge delight, and their cookies are heaven. i alsolovetheir brownies, and, they now have sugar free cheesecake (oxymoronic after all that sweets talk, i know.) it truly is a new fave!

the pizzas, considered small by some but more than filling for a couple or three people, are delicious, and their pasta dishes (though i haven't tried them) are said by many to be great. if you are a coffee fan, broad street offers many specialty drinks, and with their new iphone app (search mangia bene) you can get a glimpse of their ever changing daily specials.

a tradition for many, and a go to for me and my nephew (he loves broad street!)

ilovebroadstreet sooooo much. definitely one of my favorite restaurants.

restaurant is within walking distance from my house. eat there weekly, at least. best breakfast in jxn.lovethe cheese grits and croissants. granola is very good. lunch is great also. gumbo, pork loin sandwich, club sandwich, and the salad sampler are my favorites. for dinner, try the pastas. all of them are great. oh and save room for desert.. the cowboy cookies and the cheesecake are the best.
