Breadwinner — Restaurant in Sandy Springs

Gentlemen - this is a real winner! Looking for an idea to surprise my wife on her 75th birthday, I needed serious ideas that did not put me and her to work cleaning up after a strictly family event at our home for all 26 family members on a Sunday afternoon. Thankfully, my beautiful daughter suggested Breadwinners, so I checked it out as well as others in the East Cobb area. Let me tell you, do yourself a favor go with Breadwinners. Matt and Dori were a dream come true in my planning process. They graciously allowed me a "tasting" of some of their delicious salad and sandwich ingredients. They made it so easy - planning, quantities, and kept me posted throughout the process, making sure I was well covered. Everything was delivered by Geoff, the owner, on a beautiful Sunday afternoon - and I mean EVERYTHING - delicious sandwiches and salads - serving trays and utensils, sturdy plates and cutlery, cups & ice, and delicious lemonade. When we finished the party, there was not a pot to wash. What a dream! The sandwiches were made with all the ingredients fresh as could be including the mozzarella/tomato caprese sandwiches and the beautiful salads ladies love. And, I was so glad we didn't miss out on their chocolate chip cookies and brownies. What a delight for the 14 grandchildren as well as the parents. Thank God, the surprise worked and NO clean up! Gentlemen, throw your wife a party with Breadwinners and look like you've done this before. The team at Breadwinners is an easy win for the best...

We visited Breadwinner Cafe and Bakery on a Saturday around 1pm. It was our first time visiting this place; to our surprise - there was a long(-ish) line (~10 parties) to place orders and nearly all indoor and outdoor seats were occupied.

This place has most of their sandwiches pre-made and salads pre-mixed and have them on display. It’s like going to Chipotle, where you order different things at different station in the line (Sandwich and soup first, then salads/sides).

Pros: Even though there was a wait line, it moved quickly. Unlike other places, staff are smart/swift/friendly! You see what you will get (for most items) as they are all on display. They will ask if you would like your sandwich toasted. Reasonable price (considering the portion of food they offer). Lots of different salad options.

Cons: Where the menus are is hard for someone new to this restaurant to see. - They could have been put at a more visible location (and face the entrance). Some combo items are a little unclear to understand the price and how many sides I can choose. e.g. brisket sandwich, as it’s a full sandwich and not half, if I do a Trio, can I still get two sides with it for the total of $12.99?

Overall, I give this place 5*. Great food and service. Will...

Their turkey chili tastes like canned dog food. The Kale salad tasted as if they spritzed the dressing from 3 feet away. The caprese sandwich was awful. Firstly the bread had zero flavor. The bread should ALWAYS be toasted or grilled but mine tasted like a cold overnight thick maxi pad with pesto oil (not the herb) soaked on each side. It's simply tomato and mozzarella which is extremely boring and tasteless cheese but I had hope that the bread would be flavorful and the pesto would compliment it but no. The "pesto oil" had zero flavor. It was terrible. The ONE thing that was absolutely delicious was the oatmeal raisin cookie. Perhaps stick with making cookies because even a starving homeless person on the street would feel cheated if he was given this food. Way too expensive for terrible food. I had this delivered, trying something new and $42 later, I feel violated. I wish you well as a business but I hope...
