Breadwinner Cafe & Bakery - They have good coffee, the environment is good, the peach bread is very good. - Bakeries Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

See all

Came here for coffee and baked goods. After 4, they have neither. Good entrees yet no baked goods.

I had a great experience! A friend and I split the 10.99 lunch special... soup, salad, and 1/2 sandwich. Rather than having to eat off the same plate, they actually plated everything in half for us! It was the perfect amount if food for both of us and we got drinks and a giant delicious chocolate chip cookie to split. Didn't break the bank one bit. We had the caprese sandwich, which was great when toasted. Tomato bisque was better than papena or fresh to order. We also had the quinoa salad which had cherry tomatoes and feta cheese... perfect lunch. I had the lemonade which I think was house made. I loved it! read more

I'm rarely in the sandy springs neighborhood, however on a Saturday running errands I found myself in the neighborhood and decided to stop for lunch since so many of my sandy springs peeps had raved about it. At 12:30pm on a Saturday the line was long, and very slow moving. I will never understand people who wait 25 minutes in line, get up to the counter, and can't decide what to order. WTF have you been doing in line this entire time? What's so hard about picking lunch? It's soup and sandwiches, not pick your life partner. In line you also see they have their wonderful soups, beverages, and pimento cheese for sale. $10 for a small tub of pimento cheese is steep. . . .I get that it's gourmet, but shit, that's some spency cheese. I got the $10 lunch special, which is half a sandy, cup of soup, and a small salad. I got the pimento cheese grilled cheese, the tomato basil bisque, and the broccoli salad. My other half got the NY roast beef sandy, brunswick stew, and beet and blue cheese salad. We both agreed the salads were better than the sandy's or soups. My hubby was IMMENSELY disappointed in the brunswick stew, first time I've ever seen him not finish stew. Said his sandy was fine, but nothing memorable. I could say the same for my pimento cheese grilled cheese and tomato bisque, both were fine (although my pimento grilled cheese never got heated up to be warm enough), but nothing I'd go out of my way for either. Overall, Breadwinner seems like it's a nice addition to the neighborhood, maybe it was just over hyped for me. It's fine, I just don't see any reason for me to return unless I'm already in the area. Certainly not worth traveling for IMO. read more

Very speedy service! Fresh food and drinks. So delicious. The menu has something for everyone on there. Pesto chicken sandwich, Cuban and the pimento grilled cheese are for sure my favorite. Go here, you won't regret it! read more

Some of the best bread I've ever had. But oh is it expensive. For 15 dollars a loaf at full price... My god. But once you try the pumpkin bread an the mocha chocolate chip bread... YOU KNOW it's worth it. I came here and tried out the pumpkin, cranberry orange, mocha chocolate, peach, and lemon poppy. My favorites were definitely the pumpkin and mocha chocolate bread. The pumpkin bread literally had a perfect combination of cinnamon, pumpkin flavor, and sweetness. It had a great moistness to it, and as demonstrated by their sample section, the moistness stays even after the bread is cut up and placed in a bowl for hours. MOUTHGASM The chocolate mocha bread wasn't super sweet (which is a plus for me) but it was super decadent and filled with semi sweet chocolate morsels,. YUM My least favorite one was the peach bread. I didn't think the bread had enough of a peachy flavor to it. It definitely was loaded with peaches, but the tartness of the peach just didn't come through. Overall, this place is the bomb. The only real con is that the bread is so expensive. Everyone should come here and at least buy a pumpkin bread to munch on. Remember, pumpkin isn't just for Thanksgiving =) read more

The best tomato basil soup I've ever had! So flavorful and creamy, I had to keep telling myself not to think about how much heavy cream I was consuming and focus on the fresh basil and tomato waltzing with my pallate. The $10 lunch is a really good deal. Food is tasty and portions generous (she put a LOT of salad on my plate). I love pumpkin bread and WOW. They make an amazing pumpkin bread!! So moist and delicious..it's the best pumpkin bread I've ever had. It's a little pricey @$15/loaf, but with the SweetJacks deal, it was a great find. read more

Really, really good sandwiches. A little pricey, but overall I think it's worth it if you don't mind spending a little extra to eat healthy. Honestly, they probably have the best Tuna fish I've ever had. The shopping plaza it's in gets packed during lunch, so keep that in mind. On your birthday, you get a free meal up to $12. read more

A kind of ironically named neighborhood cafe since the overwhelming majority of the clientele are in the housewives who do lunch category. However, the food here is incredibly yummy. The tomato soup and the salads are outstanding. I'm not as big a fan of the BBQ bisque sandwich they frequently offer. Have to say it pales next to almost any BBQ place you will go to. Stick with soups and salads tho and you will be well pleased. read more

One of my favorite lunch spots in Sandy Springs, especially in the summer. I love their cold cucumber soup, but the tomato bisque is a solid choice in the winter. Sandwiches and salads are also delicious; my favorites are the Caprese sandwich and the romaine, beer and blue salad. You really can't go wrong here. Everything is well made, and always consistently good. Lunch time is busy, so bring your patience and you will be well rewarded with an amazing lunch. Get the three items for 10 dollars. Tons of food for a reasonable price. read more

Lunch made simple. For ten bucks you pick a sandwich, salad and soup. The salads and sandwiches are all made and out in front so you can chose easily. It's a family run business with only this location. The visual aspect and simple order process makes it so you get to your food faster. Plus the added beni of decent but not to load backgound music and free wifi. I'm hooked. read more

I friggin' love this place. On the days I actually get to go OUT to lunch, this is my number one choice! The Health Salad is amazing! I love to get it with the (unhealthy but delicious) pimento cheese sandwich (grilled) and the tomato soup. The line is always out the door, but it moves somewhat quickly. For $10 you really can't do any better, especially for the high quality of the food. If you go once, you'll be hooked and will look forward to your next meal there! read more

Ordered a delivery order from here for my work lunch. Had the pimiento cheese sandwich and ordered three different slices of breads to try. Sandwich was awesome and the lemon blueberry bread was out of this world good. Everything was packaged so nice and neat too. Will definitely order from them again! read more

Overpriced, pre-made food. Not only will you stand in line for an eternity, your clothes will smell like the restaurant even longer. Never understood the hype and glad more options are coming to Sandy Springs. read more

finally had a chance to stop by here for lunch. considering the lunch portions and choices, it was really grand. the entrance is a bit tight once the mob rushes in, but they have a system that seems to work very well. i went with the $10 mix and match which i recommend since the portion sizes should satisfy nearly anyone. i can't speak for any other time... but 11:30 was cool. there were 8 people ahead of me, but i wasn't in line more than 5 minutes. staff is super friendly. can't speak for what 12 looks like. it was packing pretty tightly... in the mix and match, you get a range of sandwiches you can choose from, a variety of soups, and a good mix of salads -- including pasta. i had the chicken pesto sandwich paired with turkey chili, with broccoli salad on the side. all of it was tasty, fresh, and begging for a repeat. this is a new fave. ;-) tip: 1) check in w/ foursquare. newbies get a free cup of coffee. 2) get there before 6pm if you're planning on grabbing something for dinner. 3) try the mix and match. read more

Papa don't peach and lemon poppy are delicious...but $15 for a loaf of bread? Really? I do like their generous assortment of samples to help you choose - I ate about 2 days worth of calories just from sampling alone. This location is far from my house, but I found out that they have loaves available at Souper Jenny in Buckhead. I wish they had slices available at cafes around Atlanta - being able to have a slice of their bread with a cup of coffee without driving to the Perimeter would be fabulous. read more

Checked this place out for lunch with my fiance based on Yelpers and it definitely lived up to the billing. I had the daily special which was the eggplant sandwich with a chicken pot pie soup and Quinoa Salad. Everything was tasty, the soup may not have been the 5 stars but definitely 4. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the price/quality ratio when compared to Wright's Gourmet Sandwich in Dunwoody. Wright's gets 5 because you can have two people eat for $20 and the quality is just as good. We spent $30 after tip and it seemed just a bit too much. However, I'll still come back just because the food was so good. read more

This was more of a search for the best chocolate chip cookie than a review of Breadwinner. Planning a banquet for high school kids and wanted the best cookie in Atlanta. I bought three cookies each from: Breadwinner, Whole Foods, Ali's Cookies, Alons and The Cookie Studio. The cookies varied in price from a low of about $1.50 to $2 each. I put the cookies out in a blind taste test and had both teenagers perform a separate taste test. (ranking from a low of 5 to the favorite at a 1) Alon's--interestingly enough both kids "dinged" the cookie for it's small size. Good but not great. Ali's--(chocolate chip chunk) received the lowest rating of a 5 by both kids. The Cookie Studio--was the favorite of one teenager and ranked third by another. Was crunchy and buttery tasting, very homemade. Whole Foods--shockingly was the number 2 pick of all three of us. BIG cookie with a homemade taste. Breadwinner--huge cookie for $1.95 with lots of little chocolate chips. Received a number one and three from teenagers. Different than the homemade taste, but very good! Still trying to decide between Whole Foods and Breadwinner for our banquet! read more

Came for lunch with my coworker. Honestly? Not impressed. The food is okay, but you should have an idea of what you want ahead of time because there is no board from what I could tell. They definitely push their lunch combos, so I was still charged for salad despite not wanting any (two items is plenty here 'Fat America'). The line wasn't too long, but that isn't regulated by the cafe (of course). The service was efficient, however, the cashier didn't even bother to ask me if I wanted a receipt or not, just swiped and shooed me away.... It is clean and as its cafeteria style you get your food immediately vs Panera Bread (which is probably the best equivalent just sans Wifi and Bakery,) but does set you back the same amount. Ergh, well I'll come back with coworkers, as I believe they handle crowds well but nothing too special. The one star off is for the menu board. read more

I have been to this great cafe many times for lunch. I feel it is one of the best, healthy, fresh options in this area of Sandy Springs. The staff is always friendly and efficient! Some of my favorite items are: pesto chicken sandwich- pesto, cheese, chicken, & carmelized onion. I love this sandwich! Its great heated up. Kale Salad Quinoa Salad read more

My fiance was at home sick, so I decided to bring her some soup for lunch - I heard how good the soups at Breadwinner are so I decided to give them a shot despite not being impressed the last couple times I'd eaten there. Let me start by saying I checked their lunch menu online to make sure they had chicken noodle soup. It said they do, but when I arrived that was not the case. If all your soups are changing on a daily basis, that's fine - just don't put soups on your regular menu!! That vent out of the way, I went ahead and bought a "buffet" to bring home - Vegetable Soup, Coconut Lime Lentl, and White Bean Chicken Chili soups; Roast Beef, Cuban, and Turkey Wrap half-Sandwiches; and broccoli salad. The soups were all excellent. Not mind-blowing great, but definitely worthwhile if you're a soup fan. The White Bean Chicken Chili was more bisque than Chili (my fiance described it as like "Butternut Squash Bisque") but it was delicious - it did have a curry note, so if you're not a curry fan, you might want to stay away, but we enjoyed it. The broccoli salad was sub-par - quite bland. The sandwiches were better than the last couple times I'd been, but still nothing special. -Cuban - excellent flavor, but sparsely filled. I probably could eat 3 whole sandwiches and not be stuffed. -Roast Beef - the onion roll it was served on was great, but the sandwich was otherwise blah until I put the sauce it was served with on it - sort of like a ranch, but not exactly. Good sauce. -Turkey wrap - loved the freshness of it, but it was still kind of "blah" - there's just not a lot of flavor here. Overall, Breadwinners still baffles me. Maybe my expectations are skewed by the high ratings, but I haven't seen anything that makes me understand the preponderance of 4 and 5 star ratings. 3 medium soups, 3 half sandwiches, and a side salad (no drinks) cost a bit over $32. It sounds like a lot, but this would not have been enough food for a 3rd person. It's just not a good value at all. read more

I stepped into Breadwinner for lunch and the experience was just about what I expected: fresh salads, made-from-scratch soups, and sandwiches. Here's what I had: two 1/2 salads, and 1 cup of soup. Kale Salad: This was pretty much what I expected. Fresh kale, light citrusy-vinegary dressing. This salad was dressed perfectly so it wasn't drowning in dressing. Beet and Blue Salad: Field greens dressed with sliced beets (they're canned) and blue cheese. I actually liked this salad more than the kale salad. Tastes fresh, lots of flavor. I would definitely get this again. Chicken and Sausage Gumbo: There's the option to add rice which I like. It's not a lot, but a good amount. The gumbo had a smoky flavor, maybe a little too strong for me. This was good on a cold day. Chocolate Brownie: This is a big brownie and I can't believe I ate the whole thing that afternoon. It's a big, substantial chunk for $3. It's got chocolate chips in it which makes it very chocolatey. Rather than cakey, I'd say this is more fudgey. The $10 lunch special is really more like $11 (10.99 round up). The portions seem fair (maybe it's because I had the small salads), but the price point is a little high. However, great quality of ingredients, better than any other chain cafe/bakery like Panera or Atlanta Bread Company. I don't really crave sandwiches or soups/salads often, so I'm not sure if I'd come back soon, but they do have pretty good baked goods. The line's a bit long and I didn't even want to TRY sitting there to eat because of the limited space. Plan to sit elbow to elbow at the long tables during rush hour. It's hard for me to justify spending more than $10 for lunch. read more

I am a fan. Although I've yet to try their baked goods (bikinis suck), their lunch offerings are what keeps me coming back. $10, pick three: sandwiches, soups, salads. Heaping portions. Ready immediately. No BS. All the food I've tried has been a hit. This places gets packed out at lunch (needs own parking garage). Don't fret if theres a line...it moves quickly and so does seating. Have a giant cookie for me! My boyfriend says they're game changers (crying inside). read more

Breadwinner Cafe & Bakery - Tomato bisque is a must - Bakeries Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

A solid 3.5 stars. Can't believe I've just discovered this cute lunch spot so close to work. My sister and I both had the lunch special for $10.99 (half sandwich/soup/salad). We ordered: Tilapia Wrap (special of the day)/andouille chicken gumbo/kale salad California Turkey Wrap/tomato soup/black rice Both wraps were just ok....mostly because they are pre-made. I think I'll try a panini next time. Soups were excellent! Especially the tomato soup- so flavorful and creamy. I also liked the fact that they weren't loaded with salt and Gluten Free. Salads were also delicious. We both enjoyed the kale salad over the black rice salad. Service is fast (even during their lunch rush) and they give you big portions. Overall, a decent spot for lunch that serves fresh and healthy options. read more

I love this place. The Papa Don't Peach bread is worth 5 stars alone. I always get an (expensive, eek) loaf for out of town company because there is honestly not another bread as good in the entire cosmos. So good!!!!! Love their healthy lunch selections. Vegetarian options, and wonderful soups. Love the creamy tomato soup with pimento grilled cheese. Can't go wrong!!!! If you're in the area, and with a group that has different tastes, this is a great place to check out! And don't forget the Papa Don't Peach bread!!! read more

Long, long over due review. Grade A I have been eating lunch here 4 to 6 times per month consistently for the last two years. It is one my favorite paces. The food quality is always top notch. I am always satisfied after eating but never bloated. That's the case with fresh food. The Flavor is awesome and it's always consistent. They never miss- I mean never. Great value. Friendly staff. Tomoto Bisque or turkey chili are my go to soups and the tuna sandwich or grilled chicken breast are my staples. Try the pimento cheese-just wow. And The peanut butter cookies are dangerous. Tip. Get there early to avoid the crowd at lunch, but stick around if the line is long bc it moves fast. read more

I love finding good and hidden places in sandy springs. We came here about 30 mins before closing and I'm guessing the guy helping us was the owner. He was very nice and gave large portions of food. The pizza panini, chicken pesto panini, chili and tomato bisque were so good! Also the beet salad, and kale salad were very refreshing. read more

If you are contemplating whether to eat here or not, go now! Go! You will love it! I'm amazed how fast they move crowds through! It's so perfect when you're hungry, as you walk in, order and watch them plate freshly made batches of delicious sandwiches, pastas, salads, and more! The energy is very high there, great place to dine alone or meet up. Gosh, you can pick up fresh cake loaves or a goodie from their refrigerators too! I like the homemade bacon & pimento cheese! Or heath bar cookie, the size of a grocery cart wheel! Any soups/chili are perfect too. I usually order the chicken pesto Panini, with side of penne pasta, and orzo! I've taken many people here, everyone loves it & goes back so much, that I run into them! This place is perfection, and I'm not kidding. read more

Breadwinner Cafe & Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Breadwinner has these crazy delicious breads. Their bread is so rich that it's almost cake-like. Dusted in sugar, with stuff like fruit and chocolate chips inside. Ahmagahhhh. I can only describe Breadwinner bread as like a cross between a poundcake and a muffin, but better. My family's a fan of the Papa Don't Peach. It has a nice, mellow peach flavor that's distinctive without being too prominent. Little bits of peach inside, om nom nom. My mother recently bought a loaf of Frankly, My Dear, I Don't Give a Cran. It's cranberry orange-flavored, and there are dried cranberries and candied orange inside. I'm addicted. The tartness of the cranberry and the citrusy zing of the orange is a winning combination. Try it; you won't be dissappointed. Breadwinner also sells loaves at Souper Jenny's in Buckhead. The only thing is that the bread's pretty expensive; $15 a loaf, $40 for three loaves. But it's worth it. read more

The 2 stars is for the chocolate chip cookies. Everything else was underwhelming. First of all it's way over priced for what you get. $12 for a turkey wrap??? Are you kidding me? Service is slow. Food is bland and it's difficult to find parking in the lot at lunch hour. No one wears a mask inside and it's very crowded during lunch hour. Do not recommend. We won't be back. read more

This is the best sandwich place in Sandy Springs hands down. This is evidenced by the lines that are always forming around lunch time daily. Don't be turned away by the seemingly daunting line, it moves very fast and you should be able to find a seat, no problem. Great selection of soups, sandwiches, and salads that changes daily. The owner takes great pride in his restaurant and can be found working there daily. Staff is great and seems to have a low turnover. Way Way Way better than Souper Jenny (which is similar) in the Buckhead area. read more

Great spot for lunch! Good soup, sandwiches, and sides. Heath bar cookie is bomb too!

Today Saturday July 3 at 11:00 I encounter the most rudest cashier, i was recommended by a friend to come here and try the food so I decided to give it a try everyone was so nice there except her. The food is great will i be back maybe? but if I do I'll just give the same energy back to the employee. read more

The turkey chili is to die for! Actually, I haven't had anything there I didn't like. Everything tastes so fresh.

I came here again for lunch but keep in mind that they don't start serving food until 10:30 even though the store opens earlier for their already-made foods and breads. FOOD: This time I had their tuna sandwich grilled. Wow! What a difference grilling it panini style makes. For the sides, I had their broccoli salad and health salad which is shredded cabbage in a tangy vinaigrette sauce. Delicious! Again I got the Heath bar cookie which was a nice finish to a great meal! read more

Great selection of sandwiches, soups and salads. Had the chicken pesto panini and gazpacho. Amazing!!!

I stopped in after seeing them featured on Atlanta Eats. Definitely a solid lunch spot. I had the corned beef sandwich with pasta salad on the side and also some curried cauliflower. Tried my mom's soup and was not impressed but everything else was fantastic. read more

I heard great things about this bakery but when I tried placing a to-go order for my family, I was told that I could only order for 10 people at a time. When asked to speak to a manager, supposedly there is not one on site on the weekend. We were then hung up on by the young lady on the phone. Too bad I heard such great things but was denied service read more

This place is quite near my work, so it's nice to stop for lunch with coworkers. I like being able to get a soup, a salad and half a sandwich or if that is not to my liking a soup, a salad and another salad. There are so many combinations it would be hard not to satisfy everyone. During peak lunch hours, it does get crowded, so you will wait at the counter to order your food and you may not have a choice of where to sit. It also does get loud, as others have mentioned. It's very casual, so my coworker tells me she stops with the family after soccer on Saturdays for a fresh meal. I believe I got the blue beet salad, the Greek salad and a veggie sandwich. Oh, and a giant chocolate chip cookie. All were good - the cookie and the beet salad were the best. I was satisfied when I left but not uncomfortable. read more

This is a super posh soup-salad-sandwich shop in Sandy Springs. (How's that for alliteration?) The office lunch crew and I checked it out for the first time today and plan to give it another few tries. Lunch special: For $10, you can have a lunch combo that includes a variation of sandwich, soup, or salad. I chose the 1/2 chicken salad sandwich with two salads. I have to say: The chicken salad was savory and the salads are *tasty.* The quinoa salad was very hearty with just the right amount of dill. The broccoli salad was very Old South but just the right amount of sweet and savory. With tea, the combo came to a little more than $12. The atmosphere: Again, very posh and *very* "ladies who lunch." Most of the tables were made up of Roswell ladies enjoying luncheon together after a tough morning at the country club. There were two or three tables with office mates or nurses from nearby businesses and doctor's offices. Decor is well done; it appears that old family photos featuring the owner's grandparents fill one wall. There's a lot of space outdoors, but today it was so hot only a few were brave enough to sit there. The staff: Very friendly and quick. The room fills up for lunch, so arrive a little before noon if you can. There was a small line to the door by the time we finished up, but it looked to be moving quickly. The owner was on site and checked in on several tables while we were there - that was a nice touch. The sweet stuff: Everyone's comments about the sweet breads seem to be dead on. My group tried the "Papa Don't Peach" and a blueberry-lemon one. Thumbs up. They cater and they also have ready-made items ready for carry out. We'll be going back soon. read more
