Village Bakery & Café

Fell in love as soon as I walked through the door. The fresh breakfast aroma filled my soul and made my mouth drool. The coffee was amazing and hit the spot. The selection is vast and the staff is welcoming. The small-town feel is captured in this establishment.

Love this cafe go here all the time, look forward to sitting and enjoying a relaxing coffee. The fresh treats are so good different ones everyday. The food and selection is amazing really have nothing negative to say about this place. Workers are very nice and accommodating. Also love the atmosphere.

Ordered houdini and didn't get everything that menu says it has, when asking the staff about it they handed me a side dish that was already setting on the counter that contained the cold toppings that was showed to be on the hot sandwich.

I love supporting local Athens cafes but I have to say unfortunately this one left a bad taste in my mouth literally and figuratively. Walking in, the aesthetic was cute but the staff were not very friendly. My friend and I ordered two lattes and it was genuinely the worst tasting cup of coffee I had. I paid $5 for a coffee I had to end up throwing away. My friend and I were pretty certain they served us leftover drip coffee, which was surprising since they had 40 minutes until they close so I assume they wouldn’t have cleaned their expresso machine yet. They also have a menu stating that all day breakfast is served, and then the staff said they don’t serve it. Overall, a disappointing experience and not at all reflective of most businesses in Athens. I’ve had friends recommend their coffee, so I’m not sure if I had a random bad experience or particular staff members that day, but it really wasn’t a great first experience at all.

This restaurant stands out with its quality, attention to detail, kind staff and excellent selection of tasty and good for the community foods. Was glad to have gluten free and vegan options.

LOVE the potato fritata, and the beet and spinach quiche was very tasty as well!!! Place has AWESOME food with healthy choices. Yum! I wish it wasn't so far from where I live, but is my new favorite place when I do get to athens.

I was cautiously optimistic about getting breakfast here, and while my family didn't like it, I was not on the same line as them. This place is refreshingly basic. There isn't a whole lot going on, taste wise, just the simplistic flavors expected with the items served with them. Now this isn't to say their food is bland, I would say, back to basics. Instead of using sugar with their oats, it was maple syrup and on the side were nuts, fruits and not a pinch of salt that I could taste. This is just a taste of what you can expect. Don't expect to have a whirlwind of flavors, I think they did it right, leaving it simple. The 3 stars is for the outrageous cost and markup on these basic dishes. I don't think I will return, when these are so basic a dish that a child could make them. Still, was refreshing. I'm at a toss up. I give them a 3.5.

Love the coffee here—seriously, it’s great. But if you’re in a rush, this might not be your best bet. The speed of service is… let’s say, delightfully unhurried. It’s like they’re handcrafting each cup with the care of an ancient artisan, which is charming—unless you have somewhere to be. This isn’t my first slow experience here, so I’m starting to think it’s just part of the vibe. If you’re looking to sip and stay, it’s wonderful. If you’re looking to grab and go, well… let’s just say you should factor in some extra time. Or bring a book. Or maybe start writing one while you wait. Would I come back? Absolutely. But only when I’m in the mood for a leisurely coffee break, not when I need a caffeine fix on the fly!
