One of the best places (maybe the best) to get a sandwich or treat in Athens - and they have beautiful breads too :) The folks at the counter are fab and the atmosphere is peaceful. Love it there!

So unbelievably happy we stopped into this bakery on our recent trip through Ohio!Don't let the size of their shop fool you-- The footprint may be small but their huge selection of breads, pastries, and panini sandwiches is exactly what you'd want from a place like this.We needed lunch, and after talking to who I believe is Tim, the head baker, my hubby and I took his recommendations and couldn't have been happier. My husband's name is Kevin, so he ordered "The Kevin," which is turkey, cheddar, house-made coleslaw, and pickles. He DEVOURED it! Then wanted another!I ordered "The Laurie," which is roasted beets, Laurel Valley cloverton cheese, black pepper, arugula, and a balsamic drizzle....People...! THIS is my new favorite sandwich of all time! It is so unique and refreshing and I am currently trying to recreate it at home! (I just need that BREAD!)I can't say enough great things about Athens Bread Company, and we can't wait to stop in again on our way from Michigan to Louisville in a few months. If you're in the Athens area, make it a point to stop and try something! Anything! Grab a loaf, a sandwich, and a bottle of flavored balsamic vinegar or oil..... I promise you won't be sorry! :)

What a great bakery! We ordered a couple of loaves of bread along with a trail mix cookie. All we're so good and the service was spot on. You are greeted as soon as you walk in with a smile and the smell is intoxicating inside. No seating to stick around inside but worth the visit!

Great bread. Unfortunately if you don't arrive right when they open you may not get what you're looking for. Hard to get that time available.

This place is amazing, just sitting here writing a review makes me salivate, and now I want a pop tart from the bakery. Almost time for my free bread.

Best bakery in town. Fresh pastries every day.

Every weekend we get French baguettes from The Bread Company I’m so glad you’re in Athens best bread ever, unless you’re in Europe

My partner purchases from here every Tuesday. Usually a loaf of bread, some sweets, and a Panini. Everything I've had here is extraordinary. I love the ham and brie paninis. I actually put just a little apricot jam on them to add a sweet layer to the savory. My favorite bread. Hands down.

Very good breads in both flavor and selection. Particularly love the rye. I don't love their baked goods but that is simply a matter of taste. I prefer what they have at Kindred. My friend loves their eclairs and little cakes.

Good but they sell out so quick I never get to get what I want so I rarely go here

Love this place. Nice people bakery is awesome.
In love with the pain au chocolat. Can’t wait to try all the bread and cookie options!
I'm thrilled about the pain au chocolat, tastes amazing and is a perfect fluff. Definitely saw all the other baked goods and will be back!
As per our conversation yesterday I had a great time
The bread is so good...and those croissants and pains au chocolat are my favorites.
