The Best Bakeries In Atlanta - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"Their Buckhead location works in a pinch, but we’re still smitten with Alon's flagship in Morningside. Go here, and head straight to their giant prepared foods section if there are dinner party guests to impress. It’s organized chaos inside the glass doors, with four specialized counters serving different foods. Start on the left with the baked goods (get the sweet, sticky cinnamon twists) and work your way down through the daintier desserts (opera cakes and macarons). And if you can't shop on an empty stomach, get a sandwich—the perfect opportunity to try out their breads, like the soft rosemary focaccia or the denser rye." - juli horsford
