My third time here and I’m never disappointed!! Cozy, warm atmosphere both inside or outside. Here on a rainy Friday at 5:30, having a coffee and a delicious gluten-free almond apricot tart in a candle-lit booth while I do some work on my computer.

I had a great time. Visiting from Atlanta for a work trip, couldn't have asked for a better brunch. Lorraine and a half French toast, accompanied by a warm latte.The staff is very nice and helpful! 10/10

Went for early brunch on a weekday. Found parking on site. My wife got the French toast. And shared it with me. French toast was OK for her but she prefers the so-called Texas toast style. I thought the French toast was fantastic. I like the bread that they used. I got the omelette w/cheese and country potatoes. Both excellent. She got bacon extra. Bacon was very good.Parking: Very few onsite parking spaces.

I stayed at the Courtyard down the street from Big City Bread Cafe several years ago. That was how I discovered this hidden gem in Athens. Since then, I tried to come here for brunch each time I'm in town. The food is always great here. Particularly I loved their French toast. I can't finish the full portion of French Toast, so I asked for box to go. Surprisingly the lady at the counter asked me the size of box I need. I answered just small box for leftover French toast. She said the French toast are long and need larger box instead. Then she asked me if I would need syrup in cup to go too. This is the most thorough conversation I ever had when I requested to-go box and I appreciate that deeply.

The food was good...however the biscuit fell apart after a few bites and I was left eating a sausage egg and cheese biscuit in a pile of crumbs. I also got the half order of French Toast which was good. Service was kind of slow for picking up even though there was ample people to help. The restaurant is clean and comfortable and close to downtown.

My pregnant self has struggled to think of what I want when I’m hungry unless I’m craving something lol but my husband decided to take us here and everything was so delicious! We got an omelette, the old bay potato, cheese grits and a cheesecake bite. The omelette was great and I loved the side salad with vinaigrette. The cheese grits were creamy and cooked perfectly and the potatoes were super crispy and delicious! The cheese cake bite was also super yummy and had a chocolate crust. We will definitely be back.

Hairs in my food, $40 is high for a meal I took one bite of. If you're gonna have an open kitchen I also suggest cleaning it.

I have been several ties and tried much of the menu and will confidently state it is AMAZING! Great atmosphere, speedy service! Grits and biscuits are AMAZING. Highly recommend trying out this restaurant. Be careful when pulling into the parking lot in the front as things are super tight, you are best to legally park elsewhere.Vegetarian options: Easy to build your own biscuit sandwich with whatever you can eat
