We stopped in for lunch on our way to the Jimmy Carter National Historical Park. This sandwich shop and bakery is delicious - definitely a place I'd recommend if you are in the Americus area. They boast a wide selection of sandwich, soup, and salad offerings, with quality house-made bread and dressing options.

Looked on their menu and seen they had a selection of sandwiches. Seen they had a few I wanted to try so I picked the blt and hot turkey sandwich. I like their bacon jam that comes on the blt sandwich so I would choose that sandwich next time I decide to eat there.

A nice lunch spot in downtown Americus. Both times I've eaten here, I've had the rosemary chicken salad (salad), and it was delicious. Their house made focaccia is wonderful!

Great food every single time. Love their turkey salad, I always get it. My new favorite sandwich is their ham one! The chickpea sandwich was alright, guess you need to love chickpeas to love it.

I've only stopped by once, but the service was fast and friendly, the interior was cute and clean, and the pastries were delicious. I bought some kind of almond curd cake and a slice of carrot cake which came out to about $7 or $8. The prices were not on display though, which was a little inconvenient. The curd cake had a wonderful combination of textures; the dense, crunchy almond slices went perfectly with the flaky, soft texture of the cake and the smooth texture of the curd. The carrot cake was also good; it's what I expected a carrot cake to taste like, basically. The cream cheese frosting was a little too oily for me though.

Came into town to meet up with friends. Met up here for lunch today. Quaint little spot. I went for an IBC Root beer, BBQ chips and a Georgia Club. Great sammich. That being said, it is a littttttttle on the thick side. I had to deconstruct and eat it with a knife and fork and ate the bread separately. Tasty. They do pastries, coffee and sell tshirts.

I came in on a whim for a chocolate chip cookie. This place did not disappoint and I found what I wanted. Check this place out.
