Big City Bread Cafe
393 N Finley St, Athens, GA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Athens institution excels at the full breakfast experience, where a London Fog is just as carefully crafted as the French toast with its bright orange notes and perfectly balanced crispness. The kitchen brings genuine creativity to every plate—from herb-forward gravies to showstopping apricot almond pastries and Mediterranean chicken kabobs—making it feel like they're throwing a flavor party in your mouth. Come early for brunch, settle into the outdoor seating with family or friends, and prepare for the kind of meal that sticks with you long after your visit.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Thanks Big City Bread and Elana in catering they did a phenomenal job with our lunch order for our office. Professional, responsive, and most importantly- delicious!! Do not hesitate to order their boxed lunches for your group.

Fabulous, the french toast was very orange flavored and both moist and crispy. The gravy was herbed up and very good as well. The apricot almond pastry was the showstopper (not pictured, ate immediately), but the food and service was all great. Will be returning
