Fancy Pantry — Restaurant in Sandy Springs

Fancy Pantry was contracted with to provide a brunch, with the original count of 30, at a backyard wedding approximately 3.5 months ahead of the event. The menu was finalized and all was well. Two months prior to the event, as the COVID pandemic continued, Fancy Pantry was notified that 8 people would not be in attendance and the count was changing from 30 to 22. The response from Sadie (the owner) was “Sounds good”. “This Covid world is a mess.” So it was a surprise when, two weeks later and with a final count of 21-22 Sadie sent a note: “I am not sure how to proceed….such a tiny event”. I did not want Sadie to lose money so I responded “Charge whatever is fair….do not want you to lose money”. All was well (at least for me). Another week goes by and another note from Sadie: “Typically we do not go out on an event for less than $1,000.00 worth of food. We made an exception since your group was a little smaller due to Covid. But now I am not sure what to do, because I want to be fair to your group also.” All I could think was, she knew the size of the group and had responded “Sounds good” but all of a sudden it is a problem so I inquired as to her intent. The response (17 days before the event!) was surprising: “If you have another option, I would love for you to take that. How about the afternoon caterer? Is he able to do the brunch, by chance?” This was followed by a phone call from Sadie to me berating my wedding planner who she had NEVER met and extolling her own business…shameful! In retrospect, Sadie did us a favor as this story has a happy Cinderella ending. The evening (reception) caterer (Chef Cary’s Cuisine) delivered the “glass slipper”, providing a wonderful selection of delectable, palate pleasing delights for the brunch and...

I had an early appointment with 3 boys under 9 in tow. We missed breakfast and decided to stop in as the prices were more than reasonable and it was a nice day to sit outside the restaurant in the building complexes' common area.

We ordered 2 bacon, egg, cheese burritos, a ham croissant, some oj and a coffee. It was not pre-packaged and came out quick.

The 5 star rating comes from the gentleman, who I assume is the owner/manager, who went above and beyond for us. When he saw I had a bit of a circus in tow, he offered to bring the food outside to the common sitting area. After bringing the food, he came back a few minutes later and handed me a cup of salsa verde for the burritos, which layered nicely with the eggs.

After a few more minutes, he was generous to cut up a brownie (which was REALLY good, pre-packaged or not) and brought it out for us.

Good food at good prices and the kindest person that made my morning...

I can’t say enough about the amazing, delicious Raspberry Snow Cake specially made by Sadie at Fancy Pantry. It has a special whipped cream icing and light raspberry filling; not too sweet, but totally addictive. I ordered this cake 15 years ago for my Mom’s 70th Birthday It was a hit and quickly became our favorite! It has been my go to cake for special occasions over the years and always gets rave reviews. I was so happy to order this special cake again this past weekend for my Mom’s 85th Birthday and am glad it is still available 15 years later! Everyone loved it! The Pear Walnut Salad with Gorgonzola is to die for; also my favorite! I always look forward to our Holiday lunch at Stone Dental Associates and other events catered by Fancy Pantry. I think the key to a great restaurant is quality ingredients, consistency, attention to detail by amazing chefs and Fancy Pantry has...
