Was in town visiting and stopped in for brunch, got a birds nest, sausage, half an avocado, fruit, and a london fog, genuinely one of the best breakfast platters I've gotten, and the london fog definitely was the best I've had. Wish I lived in GA so I could eat here every day, please check it out!!

This place was AMAZING! There was a little line, but it moved very quickly. We barely had a time to set down before our food was being brought to us. The French Toast is amazing, and it makes you want more. And if you're not an alcoholic drinker like me, get the Orange Creamescicle drink! The only problem with it …

Had an awesome experience with BCB catering. Elana helped us organize, and Savannah, Eliza, Audrey, Deen and Chef David killed it. Was a perfect low key venue for 40-50 people and awesome food, great service and an all around positive experience. Would absolutely recommend and now I need an excuse to have another party there.

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

We searched for dog friendly places to eat and this place was perfect! 🤩 The food was fresh and the outdoor seating under the trees nice on a hot summer day! 🌞I enjoyed a spinach salad with a side of chicken salad. We also had yummy BLT’s on sourdough bread and a wonderful grilled flounder sandwich. It was great to …

Perfect venue for a late spring birthday brunch! Broad menu has something for every appetite, with plenty of vegan and gluten-free options. Best coffee I've tasted in Athens. Staff are friendly, service is prompt, and the outdoor seating is a delightful experience filled with birdsong, gentle breeze, and dappled shade. I had a traditional southern 2 eggs over medium, with …

My mom and I (plus her granddog Maggie) had a wonderful lunch here yesterday! Loved the “pick 2” lunch menu - Mom had a fresh mozzarella/ tomato / basil sandwich with a cool, refreshing potato and leek vichyssoise, and I had the French Ham and Cheese sandwich with apple and spinach salad. Super delicious!!! Mom also bought a loaf of …
