Sweet Georgia Bakery and Cafe — Restaurant in Americus

I was here about 2:45 today to pick up my "Salad Mozzarella Tomato OL" that I placed about about 20 minutes ahead of time. I gave the young lady a $20. My order was $10.27. I said just give me a $10 back and I'll go to my vehicle to get .27. This was all before I received my order. She was hesitant about giving me the $10 before I went to my vehicle. She said "NO, no,no,NO! I'll just give you the change! I said ma'am, I do not want the change, and to give me the $20 back if she didn't think I'd bring the .27 back. She actually gave me $20 back. I went to my vehicle, retrieved .27 and gave it to her. She then said we'll get your order ready. I said ma'am, this is a pick up order as stated in the beginning. This was my 2nd visit here for thus delicious salad, that is OH SO DELICIOUS! Every bite of this salad is SO DELICIOUS! The homemade dressing is delicious as well. Nothing needs to be added or taken away from this salad. It's just perfect! It has the taste that keeps you coming back for more! With the customer service today, I'm only giving 2 stars...

I ordered a cappuccino with an extra shot for myself and asked if they could steam some milk for my little girl in a small cup (some cafes refer to this as a ‘steamer’ or ‘babycino’). The barista agreed to do it but then directed the teller to ring it up as a latte! A $4.75 latte! The average price of a gallon of milk is less than that. Not to mention, there was no double shot of espresso in the actual cup but yet I’m charged the same price as if there was . Absolutely disgraceful. I also wasn’t impressed with the service in general. Call me old-fashioned but when a customer comes to the counter, a teeny little bit of friendliness or pleasantries goes a long way. That was pretty much non-existent, which I find surprising for a cute little cafe in historic downtown Americus. It was by no means busy either so that’s not really an excuse. I was super excited to grab some drinks from this place and instead I walked out angry and...

Sweet Georgia Baking is my all-time favorite restaurant. Period. I went to college in Americus, and currently live outside of Atlanta, and I have never found anything or anywhere that compares to Sweet Georgia. When I come visit Americus a few times a year, I ALWAYS make sure to not only stop at Sweet Georgia, but stock up on meals for the entire weekend. And also always take a pound of chicken salad back home. I am especially a fan of the hot turkey sandwich, the cous cous salad any time of year, and of course the chicken salad. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. I would eat here everyday if I still lived in Americus, and I make sure to eat there, or the food I bought the day before if it's sunday, every time I come to town. It's a huge reason I am willing to make the...
