Update- we’ve been back three times to get the oatmeal cookies. They are crazy good. The Whoopie pie, apple cobbler was pretty good. I didn’t like the bread pudding as it was more of cheesecake and not like traditional bread pudding. Fried green tomatoes are delicious, but I don’t like the finishing glaze or blue cheese under it. The cheese was too funky. I would’ve preferred a different sauce and on the side instead of drizzled on or no sauce. The beef stroganoff was delicious and the noodles were unique and fresh tasting, but I would’ve liked to have more meat in it. The sliced beef option had an interesting sauce on it that didn’t match with the beef. Would’ve preferred and Au jus based sauce. Unique mashed potato dumpling and red cabbage were fine. Potato dumpling has bread in the center, I would’ve enjoy a good traditional mashed potatoes instead. I know this is Greek style-so maybe that’s how they eat their mashed potatoes… The pecan grouper looked delicious and some other options on their menu as we plan to come back and try the other options . Great service, great atmosphere, great prices, fast service, clean establishment, great desserts, authentic food.
I’m upset. Why didn’t this place show up in Google maps! I’m not sure how we stumbled on this place but I was looking for something sweet and this popped up so we had to try it. A REAL BAKERY-Wow. Nothing like the everyday style dessert shops in the area, where the stuff is too sweet And a bunch of foolishness really. Jonesboro is a food desert-have to drive out the city for something good…. My eyes were Going wild with all of the delicious looking desserts in that case. The lady before me ordered all of one I was wanting to try. Now I for sure have to come back lol. I ordered maybe five items even though I know I shouldn’t be eating this much. My first time, I always want to try a lot because it determines if I’ll come back. Great service. Extremely nice inside, I forgot where I was. Why was it empty, I asked myself. I saw a food menu that seemed to have everything good on it and I become more impressed. Been coming to the area two years and totally missed it. We could have been eating here. The lady even recommended other food places. Super nice.
Pecan pie- nice size/weight/look with good amount of filling/pecans. It’s better to break in half than bite through. Breaking it in half allows you to bite the middle. The breading has a homemade/original/with love kinda taste. After two bites I tasted chocolate and was thrown off. I’ll ask next time if there’s chocolate in the pecan pie. Wanted the Apple pie but lady in front of me cleared them all. I was hurt. lol
Carrot Cake-I don’t care for icing so I moved most of it off and just ate the bread. The bread was great, but of course with no icing it was a bit plain. I knew but had to try. The cool sandwich look is attractive.
German Chocolate Cake- Beautiful Cake. Delicious. I had some crunch in my cake but I thought it may be eggshell. This is def a fancy and tasty cake
Oatmeal Cookie-can you believe the oatmeal cookie was the best of the four. I don’t like oatmeal cookies that much but it looked great and there was only a couple left so you know it’s good when there’s only a few left lol. It was something truly amazing about that cookie. I’ve been daydreaming of it. Daydreaming like Aretha. Please don’t change anything. I’ll order all you have like that lady did me lol.
We plan to go back and try the food and I’ll update the review. For now, 6-Star Desserts-Great Job City Cafe & Bakery.
Tried the pecan grouper. I like the fruit on top idea that’s cool and simple. The crust had flavor and crunch, but I think it’s a little much crust for the size fish. I ate it all, but the thin fish could take a thinner coating. Red cabbage ok. Seasonal veggies were broccoli but I wish was greens or squash zucchini. Nothing special about rice.

Good dishes, friendly staff, very cute spot
Parking: Behind the restaurant has limited parking, but you can park near the fountain and walk across the paved stairs.
Good food, some tasted authentic and some did not. Service was a bit slow and the prices are a bit too high.

The fish and chips were greasy and fishy tasting. Gordon fish and chips beat em.
The burger was not hot.
The presentation of the food on a cutting board is not the best choice.
The service and atmosphere was great.
Would come back for drinks not food .

The food was not too shabby, the price isn’t cheap nor is it super expensive.
Only issue I had was latte had too much milk in it but they removed it in the bill. Good service recovery.

Good afternoon It took me several hours before I posted this review. I take posting a negative review very seriously. I have been here before. So I believe the poor service of acknowledgement when you first enter is habitual and standardized to ignore you when you first enter. Took approximately 8 minutes standing in the doorway before we were acknowledged for a table. Once seated to another 10 minutes to have a waitress come to the table. Her name was Alejandra. She turned out to be excellent. She is a keeper. I walked to the bakery to order some pastry's. Was ignored for over 10 minutes standing at the counter.. I saw the young lady just ignore me as if did not exist. I sat back down without a pastry. Bad service make a bad experience. I had to ask my server to get my pastry. Bad service makes for bad leadership and bad training. We will not be back. The food was excellent the server herself was excellent. The hostess and bakery staff were below standard. They need retraining or replaced.

Used to really enjoy coming here before the new owners took over, and have enjoyed it since then as well. However, after coming in with my family for lunch yesterday we probably won’t be back. Waited at the front counter for over ten minutes because the hostess was so scattered; a server eventually asked if we’d been helped yet. Once seated, we noticed we were the only table who hadn’t received any bread while waiting to order. The waitress didn’t write down our order and it came back wrong; I have a non celiac gluten intolerance and ordered a veggie burger with no bun. When it came with one, she just said “oh sorry I forgot”. Burger tasted like old burnt oil, eggs Benedict was cold and chicken schnitzel was just bland. Waitress asked if everything was ok and no one had anything to say. Later when she came by with the check she just tossed it on the table as she walked by. So disappointed with the food we didn’t even look at the dessert; just paid and left.

Parking: There is parking behind the bakery however when it’s busy it can be a little crowded.
A hidden gem for sure. Their menu is surprisingly deep, you can tell it was brilliantly Chef-inspired. The Bakery is divine coupled with wine and libations, this place rocks! Who knew? Right in downtown Fayetteville there's a place to have brunch, sip drinks or wine, relax on the fan-swept verandah, or maybe catch some outdoor live music? It is a shocker that this level place is just calling itself just a Cafe. The Bakery rivals the best. May I say I am a bit of a baked goods aficionado. I took home a variety box of cookies, macarons, petit fours, and a huge white chocolate mousse cake slice.."divine"! I want to recommend the Crab Cakes. They're everything they should be. Crispy, perfectly seasoned, heavy on the crab, good-sized portion too. Our server was just the sweetheart we needed to make our stop perfect. Will come back to try their Prime Rib night and will come back for a second brunch. Whole heartedly giving it my Five Star High Five for (best all-around eaterie) (worth a drive) (pat on the back to the Chef and Baker) and a (you gotta come here)... I'm giving it All Of That!!

Although I didn't dine in I did come in to grab some sweet treats. I ordered two cheesecake, one pineapple ? cookie and a small apple pie. So far I've only tried the cookie and it was quite hard/tough to bite into. Haven't tried my other pastry purchases. The lady at the counter was okay in attitude it could have been better. The young lady who greeted me at the door was very nice, welcoming and friendly. Overall the experience was okay.

Our group hosted a bridal shower at the restaurant. I ordered the caesar salad with salmon and bacon which was really delicious! The bite-sized cakes provided for desert were excellent! We didn't get to try any of the baked goods from the bakery, but they looked really good!
