Independent Baking Co - Athens

The best bakery in GA! They have all my favorite European breads and of top of that they’re baking the most healthy ones: spelt and rye bread!

Greatest bakery around! The staff is so utterly helpful, patient and kind and always wiling to provide fabulous guidance. The baked goods rival any I've tasted in Europe, no kidding. Such a gem and gift to our community.

Felt like being home in New York. Real fresh baked crusty bread. Service was efficient and friendly. Prices were equal to the quality. Again, we will be back!

Don’t usually review places but I had to for this place. Some of the best bread I’ve ever had in my life. Always stop in and get a French loaf to have at the house whenever I can.

Excellent bakery. Fresh baked goods, great view of the bakers, nice view outdoors, variety of goods and breads, great customer service and great coffee. As a visitor to UG and Athens, I put this in the top 5 to visit in this area. Walking distance of 15 minutes from center of UG (hotel) or a 5 minute drive easy to spot from Lumpkin St. Walked in on a Friday morning from a cold ish and rainy day and were greeted with warmth and sweet smell of dough. The 5 ish bar stools they have are quickly used by long term residents so if you find a spot, try to take it fast most people stayed there an average of 1 hour just chatting. We tried a variety of goods including: morning roll (like a buttery and sugary wheel version of a croissant), orange and nut scone, carré des fraises (berries square) and a raisin bread. The bread was king moist dough, light and excellent raisins (not super sweet). Really good latte too. This is a favorite on my Athens list!
