Earth Grains Baking Co - Athens

There are very few genuine bakeries out there, and this is one of them. They offer a wide variety of breads, scones, cookies, coffee, and other delightful treats. I tried the lemon hazelnut cake, and it was large and incredibly delicious!

Wow! From honoring the legacy of its founder to the skilled craftsmanship of its new owner, who has added his own unique flair, Independent Baking Company is a must-visit when you’re in Athens (or fortunate enough to live nearby). Their fantastic selection of artisanal breads and out-of-this-world pastries is truly impressive. Congratulations, Kevin, and best wishes for your company’s continued success!

A friend recommended this place for its amazing homemade bread, and I can see why! We couldn't resist buying several loaves, including two baguettes that were so aromatic we could hardly keep them in the car on the way home. We devoured them! I was so impressed that I returned just two days later for more!

Odd experience. I asked for a beard and got a burned whole wheat dew. Then I asked about two chocolate croissants and he said I couldn't buy them because they sold them on the peasant market. Really?

I wanted to get fresh biscotti for a gift and this place didn't disappoint! The smell when you walk in is just pure bliss! The customer service was very good. The bread is awesome and the scones are too!
