Awesome spot! Great peeps and great food!

Big City Bread Cafe is an absolute treasure! Every visit is a pleasure, with the staff always being so welcoming and friendly. Their quiche is truly on point—perfectly prepared and full of flavor—and the coffee is delicious, making it the ideal spot to start your day.

If you’re looking for a relaxing and enjoyable morning, I’d highly recommend stopping by. The atmosphere and quality of the food make it a local gem you don’t want to miss!

Big City Bread showed up big time for my fiancé and I to help us host our wedding's rehearsal dinner after another local establishment (that I believe has since closed) left us without a rehearsal dinner venue 1 month before our wedding weekend. They were fantastic to work with, especially as we were not local! Very communicative, kind, and we had free rein of their beautiful space both indoors and outdoors the day-of. The food was tasty, they easily accommodated our guests with various allergies/dietary preferences, and we even left with a few leftovers to enjoy their tasty food well into our wedding weekend. I'd highly recommend you consider hosting your next special private event at Big City Bread!

The food was fantastic. Quiche was melt in your mouth good and the biscuit was 10/10. The only thing I wish is that the coffee was presented in a large mug not a to-go cup.

Nice cozy place for brunch. Outside and inside seating available. Food was delicious. We loved the Old Bay Fried Potatoes, grits were creamy, eggs were cooked perfectly. Wasn’t a huge fan of the biscuit. BLT was fresh and flavorful.

Alright ya’ll, so the food here is amazing. This place is a true Classic City staple. I would give a higher review, but I cant in good conscience because of one particular person: Shannon. Pretty positive thats her name. I don’t know how to start this tactfully. Other than this woman seems like an absolute menace to be around. I don’t even want to come into this restaurant anymore because of her. I don’t even know her personally, she is just that awful. When I first saw her, I honestly assumed she was homeless, or perhaps someone experiencing a psychotic episode. She was behind the main counter and was so disorganized, so chaotic, it truly did not look like she knew what she was doing let alone work there. Especially at one point where she manically rearranged everything behind the counter. After i watched her do this, a younger guy walks over after her, and with an exasperated sigh, fixes everything Shannon just messed up. I felt so bad for him because you could tell he has had to do damage control behind this woman before. On top of that I could here her FROM THE KITCHEN just yelling and barking commands at people. And I mean YELLING! Literally no customer ever wants to hear that. Rude, uncouth, disrespectful, just not someone who you can be comfortable around by any means. If she was that bothersome for me as a customer, I cannot imagine what she must be like to work with! I hate how someone like this has left such a unfortunate stain on a fantastic restaurant. Big City Bread seems like the place where you should get that perfect relaxed vibe from a local restaurant. But Shannon makes this place feel like a bad episode from a tv show you really dont want to watch. Cringe. I would like to come back here, Id really like to bring my parents to this place. But theres no way if shes going to be there. So yeah, the food here is AMAZING but not good enough to make being around Shannon worth it.

Late morning breakfast with a group. Some places can't handle that, but Big City Bread did just fine for us. Plenty of street parking nearby.

The quiche was undercooked and the potatoes were overcooked. My meal of bacon, eggs and toast was $10 . We waited over 50 minutes after ordering the food for stuff that would have been cheaper and better quality from Waffle House.
