Thirty four stores later, the Atlanta Bread Company has

settled into Fayette County, located at The Pavilion on Ga. Highway 85.

When the restaurant opened in April 1998, the staff could

hardly keep up with the demand, filling at least an order a minute.

The bread company has an extensive menu with 10

different deli sandwiches including honey maple ham, albacore tuna

salad and veggie sandwiches with homemade dill sauce.

The "A.B.C. Special" will allow you to sample the very

best with roast beef, turkey, ham, provolone cheese, pepperoncini,

lettuce, tomato, onions and condiments, on fresh French bread.

Of course the highlight of the Atlanta Bread Company is

the bread itself. Baked fresh daily, the bakery serves up a selection

of sourdough, french, sourdough rye, nine grain, asiago cheese,

pumpernickel, Italian pesto, honey wheat, cracked wheat,

sundried tomato and challah.

In addition to these breads, there is a variety of about 12

different muffins including non-fat muffins in the apple, chocolate,

blueberry and pumpkin flavors.

Other specialties along the dessert and breakfast variety include

several kinds of croissants, danishes, Belgian danishes

and bagels. For the health-conscious, the bread company offers

plain, honey walnut raisin, olive, chives, veggie and raspberry

low-fat cream cheeses.

You can't leave the restaurant without sticking a weekly

soup schedule card in your pocket. There are at least three

usually four soups a day, which often include a vegetarian soup.

Make sure you stop in early though, before the lunch crowd eats up

all of your favorite.

Soups such as garden vegetable, cream of broccoli, chicken

chili, black bean and ham, and pasta fagioli are hot and perfectly

seasoned. If you're really hungry, try the "Loaf of Soup," where

you're favorite soup is served in a sourdough bowl.

Delicious sides or as a meal are the Greek, Caesar, house, and

fruit salads.

Of course, it's hard to leave without partaking of the rich,

gourmet desserts. A great selection of cheesecakes beckon and

everyone has to experience their specialty chocolate eclairs and

Napoleons.

No dessert would be complete without a cappucino or latte

to sip. The Atlanta Bread Company has several house blends

available each day and also serves flavored mochas, lattes

and cappucinos.

Average meals cost approximately $5 a person and is

available for take-out. The atmosphere itself offers a great alternative to

a fast food meal, with a wonderful aroma and classical music

playing gently in the background.
