Atlanta Bread — Restaurant in Sandy Springs

Atlanta Bread used to be THE place to go to back in the day, I was only a child when it was in it's prime but I have fond memories of the times I did go and it's been a shame to see it fall out of favor in the past decade or so. I went in today after not stepping into one for awhile and also not remembering of this location, I was pleasantly surprised with the service, it's unfortunate that there was next to nobody at all in store at 5pm on a Monday during a work week because the potential is here. Atlanta Bread definitely isn't what it used to be anymore but it's still a quality product overall. Because of the lack of patrons, I absolutely will consider bringing my coworkers here and colleagues for some meetings or get togethers from now on since there's basically no wait. I want to see ABC thrive and survive still as it's one of the last "local chain" restaurants from before Atlanta got big still around and I think that's enough of a reason to stop by and see what they have. I loved my Mac and Cheese, the artwork on the wall was great, loved the cookie as well, I definitely am going to come visit more often going forward, especially being so close to the Dunwoody...

I purchased 8 seperate meals for a business meeting and I am very disappointed with the food along with my colleagues.

The food arrived with great timing thanks to the driver. You were great.

No one wants bread thats just thrown in a bag. A simple paper wrapping would have worked just fine but nope. Just thrown in the bag.

The food isnt labeled. So for 8 people i had to individually open each sandwhich first before giving out everyones food order. All of the sandwhiches were packaged the same and Inside out.

The soup was supposed to be in a bread bowl but that didnt happen either. We received two containers of soup instead of what we actually ordered. The forks, spoons and knives were also just thrown in the bag too. :(

The salads were the only good thing from this order.

Our team has decided that this place will no longer be on our list for lunch meetings, executive meetings, conferences,...

For two years, I have ordered breakfast and lunch from this location and had such pleasant experiences and interactions with the staff until recently. The ladies who actually prepare the food are always so kind, so having a new face at the register who treats me coldly and cautiously as if I am unwelcomed clientele, maybe because I come in early in the mornings in sweats after working night shift at the hospital instead of in 9-5 office attire like the people she, perhaps, expects to see, is off-putting. Are my tips going to the kind women who actually assemble my breakfast and lunch sandwiches and treat every customer equally respectfully? Because that’s who...
