Still one of my favorite places to eat. I come here at least once every week and it is consistently delicious! The staff here is so friendly and thoughtful. I never liked salads much before I started eating at Parker's but now I will actually crave their salads, especially with that kale pesto ranch dressing. I've never had anything here that wasn't good. My favorites of their soups are the Hungarian mushroom, the roasted cauliflower, or the spinach and artichoke. My favorite sandwiches are the Havarti Party, the chicken salad, egg salad, or the tuna salad hot pressed on wheat. My husband loves the Godfather and the Reuben. We also love the spinach feta quiche and the sweet gobbler sandwich. They also have a variety of baked goods and latte options. More people need to know about this place! It's a local gem! read more

Parkers Pantry - Pantry salad with kale pesto ranch and no feta - Cupcakes Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

I so wanted to love this well reviewed place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Friendly help. Soup of the day was good. But Chicken salad was just not special. And the croissant was not soft, disappointing. Sadly, before the semi-obligatory tip for counter serve, my lunch-for-one priced out at an eye-popping $23. For a small cup o' soup and an ok chicken salad croissant. So, way overpriced imho. That begrudgingly takes it down to three stars... read more

Country Club clientele. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Decent, no frills interior.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Super nice owners and employees. Solid place had the italian sandwich (godfather i think) and it was yuge and yummy! read more

This is the best sandwich shop in the Columbus area. The Staff is always incredibly kind and helpful. I thoroughly enjoy the tomato feta soup & 2 sausage cheddar biscuits. My wife is crazy about the havarti party sandwich & protein salad. Always fun to try their rotating specials too! I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

Delicious soups and sandwiches. If you want sweets they got some good options as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The new addition and decor has made this place a great place to bring friends and/or coworkers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is quick and for $25 my wife and I have lunch regularly. read more

Everything was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has a very relaxing quality in the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will be an ongoing patron.

I've popped in here a few times and I must say I've never had anything I thought was bad. Their latte is one of the best you can get around and their sandwiches are very good. Definitely on the pricier side but it is a cute atmosphere for business lunch or quick little meet up. Very limited hours read more

Parkers Pantry - Creme brûlée latte - Cupcakes Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

A wonderful local establishment. The employees were very friendly , food was delicious, [[HIGHLIGHT]]very pleasant atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you can't decide, have their 1/2 & 1/2 (2 half sandwiches - which I did) or The Trilogy (choice of any 3: soup, salad, any half sandwich, etc.). And don't forget their moist, sweet -but-not-too-sweet chocolate cake! read more

Wonderful pitstop in The Park District. Good selection. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Customer service has always been good to us. They're only open on weekdays, so if you want a snack on weekends you'll have to venture elsewhere. Their pricing on a few things seems a little steep, but everything we've ordered from Parker's has been tasty, and if you're in the neighborhood you should definitely stop by for a visit! read more

Everything's good. Love the arugula salad. Cappuccino, sandwich's galore. Gods soup & salad combo

This place has become a must-go at least once a week. The Protein Salad is delicious, especially when followed by a cupcake or a cookie. Love her chicken salad as well, especially heated up. But it's the staff that makes this place the best. Super friendly to all, welcoming to all, and always ready with the perfect recommendation. Hope to see you there very soon! read more

The sausage cheddar biscuits are amazing. Everyone is super friendly. My husband really enjoys the breakfast burritos. The lattes are way better than Starbucks! read more

Everything on the menu is delicious; breakfast, sandwiches soups and desserts. Don't stop with just one; try it all!

Everything I've had is excellent. Best chicken salad ever- better than chicken salad chic! The blue cheese macaroni salad is to die for. Come for breakfast and try the pimento cheese quiche- out of this world Their bagels are great- like nyc style. Some in-house cream cheese would take it over the top but Philadelphia is a good staple, too. I would recommend this place to anyone look for a great lunch/brunch/breakfast spot. Great atmosphere, welcoming staff, and fabulous food! Don't forget to grab a cupcake or something sweet- delicious!!! read more

She offers Different made from scratch soup each day, sandwiches, salads,quiches,muffins and cupcakes. Eat in or take out.

This place has been on my to-eat place for two years since I saw it while walking around Lakebottom Park. For some reason I kept thinking "eh, another sandwich place..." but let me tell you... we finally came here today fully expecting to eat blah cafe food and we were 100% surprised. I had their protein salad and it was perfect! So many places have yucky greens and too many items in the salads which make it either bland or too much. This was perfect. It had Edamame, pepitas, arugula mix, turkey, and the dressing came on the side which I truly appreciated. My husband had the sweet ham and Brie sandwich and it was delicious! We also shared a funfetti cupcake and honestly I'm a big dessert snob so I was expecting to be underwhelmed but wasnt! That cupcake was 100% worth the calories and I'm kinda sad we shared it and didn't get our own. We also shared a sugar-free vanilla latte which was tasty. Also, the ladies at the cashier were so so so welcoming and fun. The energy was truly wonderful. After trying this place I will 100% be a regular for the rest of my time here and I'm so upset with myself for not trying it sooner. Can't wait to come back! read more

This is a fun little place. We just moved into the area, Midtown and it is a great little neighborhood place to eat. Definitely not a chain and that's a good thing. Soup and a sandwich ran me $12 but I enjoyed paying for it. It is just a great little neighborhood restaurant. read more

Soups, salads, sandwiches - the essentials for a cozy, local lunch spot. The exterior of Parker's Pantry has bay window seating overlooking the park, giving off a homey vibe and meshing well with the rest of the neighborhood. When you enter the restaurant you can tell that there is a lot of potential. Parker herself greeted us with samples of their homemade soup. It was delicious, and in retrospect I should have ordered that for lunch. Everyone had great customer service skills and was genuinely nice. The menu was explained well and we were also shown the hearty salad portions. My friend ended up ordering the sandwich special, which was a buffalo chicken sandwich with blue jack cheese. I ordered off the menu and went with a chicken salad sandwich on croissant bread. The food was good and I would not mind having my dish again. The only draw back was the portion to price ratio. The plates seemed kind of empty with only a sandwich and no sides. Plus, only bottled water. I would definitely go again and order a soup or salad. Even more, I checked their FB and saw that Parker does catering for events and makes delicious desserts. I wish I had known that earlier because I have a real sweet tooth and would have loved to try some of the treats. I can easily see this place being very successful over the coming years. It will be a great addition to the food scene of Columbus. read more

Went here for lunch with wife who has been here before She said it was excellent and I have to agree. Didn't do my homework, so I ordered soup and sandwich. Soup was great. Sandwich, a chicken salad AND pimento cheese on sprouted white, was excellent. Chicken salad like it should be, ditto for cheese. Wife, the veteran, ordered a trilogy of chicken salad, pimento cheese, and curried rice. All were excellent. Well, couldn't eat it all so we enjoyed seconds the next day. Note to self: half sandwich and soup is plenty for lunch. A bit pricey for soup and sandwich place and a bit cramped, but I will go back. read more

I've eaten here twice, once for breakfast and another time for lunch. The food is delicious, everything is very fresh. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The strawberry ricotta muffins are wonderful and the Parmesan chicken soup is amazing! I'll definitely be back. read more

A friend of mine gave me an apple cobbler muffin that he bought from here. It was delicious so I wanted to get my own. I checked their hours online and it stated they closed at 5:30 pm. I arrived at 4:45 and they were closed but I could see someone at the counter. Another woman pulled up and they opened the door and let her in then locked it back. I won't come back again. I will spend my money elsewhere. read more

Definitely my favorite spot for a nice sandwich. Make sure you get a cupcake too! Great service. Amazing staff.

Absolutely the best cupcake I have ever put in my mouth! It's no wonder you won the best cupcake in town award by the Reader's Choice Awards! I saw the certificate on the wall there. I really wish you were open on Saturday mornings but I imagine you still need to handle catering orders for Saturdays. The chicken salad is delicious also. read more
