Brazilian Bakery Cafe

Copy Link

The cases at this bakery are full of traditional Brazilian pastries and sweets, but also includes some iconic bread options. The most famous is the pão de queijo, a cheese roll made from tapioca flour and multiple cheeses. The bakery also offers pão francês, or Brazilian French bread, which is usually paired simply with some butter or for sandwiches. For something sweeter, try the bite-sized broa, a corn bread that’s springy and light with a hint of fennel.

Star Provisions Market & Cafe

Copy Link

While a popular spot for breakfast and lunch in Blandtown, the bakery side of this cafe and market sells an array of rustic loaves to take home. Among the boule options, including fennel sultana and an olive loaves, are ciabatta and baguettes. Folks can also find a show-stopping French pain d’epi shaped like a white stalk with sections ready to tear into individual chunks for a shared dinner. Star Provisions also sells its bread at Freedom Farmers Market on Saturdays.

Osono Bread

Copy Link

This Southwest Atlanta micro-bakery run by Betsy Gonzalez makes its bread using ingredients from local and regional farmers, partnering with small Southern mills, and milling flour in-house. Osono focuses on sourdough bread, baking several flavors and seasonal variations. Gonzalez offers buckwheat loaves, oat porridge bread, focaccia, tordu twisted baguettes and more. Try the crowd-favorite “sourdoughnuts” for a distinctly bread-forward spin on the breakfast treat. Osono does feature a bread subscription, but people can also find her at Grant Park Farmers Market every Sunday and biweekly at East Atlanta Village Farmers Market on Thursdays.

EstoEtno Fine Bakery

Copy Link

Tiina D’Souza sells her Estonian-style baked goods, including a few rye-based sourdough breads, at different metro Atlanta farmers markets and online. The traditional Estonian dark rye bread is a seedy loaf that gets a touch of sweetness from molasses. The more straightforward Finnish rye bread has a sharp tang to it and is made with just rye flour, water, and salt. The honey rye sourdough skews more toward sweetness with dried cranberries, spices, and honey. EstoEtno offers a weekly and biweekly bread subscription for local pick up via its website. Check online for the micro-bakery’s weekly market schedule.

Knead to Savor

This Persian micro-bakery run by Niki Gavahi offers two kinds of barbari — a type of flatbread traditionally served with cheese, nuts, dips and more — based on her family’s recipes. Choose between small and large sizes of the sesame seed barbari or the more fragrant fenugreek and black sesame flavor. Gavahi pops up at Grant Park Farmers Market on the first Sunday of each month and at Virginia-Highland Farmers Market on the second Thursday of each month.

Seven Fingers Baked Goods

Fisher also makes the more pastry-forward ensaymada, a Filipino brioche topped with a variety of buttercream flavors. The micro-bakery pops up around Atlanta about once a month, but also takes orders for direct pick up on weekends via Instagram.

At Heart Panadería

Teresa Finney dedicated her micro-bakery to the popular Mexican pan dulce (sweet bread) called conchas, a brioche-like roll with a crumbly topping resembling a seashell. Finney’s conchas feature a range of flavors, from berries with pink peppercorn to champurrado (a chocolate-cinnamon concha with yellow corn masa sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar). She uses local and regional ingredients to create her breads, like Banner Butter and Dayspring Farms flour. Follow Finney on Instagram for pop-up details, recipes, and to place orders.

Former 8Arm baker Sarah Dodge puts bread front and center at her micro-bakery, Bread is Good, occasionally holding dedicated days for walk-up orders in Inman Park, with loaves of sourdough, sourdough bagels, and bready pastries like brioche tarts.

Evergreen Butcher + Baker

Copy Link

This Kirkwood neighborhood spot owned by husband-and-wife duo Emma Schacke and Sean Schacke bakes all of its breads from organic and locally sourced flour.

Evergreen also bakes seasonal breads and one-off flavors, including hot cross buns, butternut squash and polenta sourdough, and challah. The bakery often sells out, so pop in earlier rather than later to secure a loaf.

Pan American Bakery

Pastelito-lovers may hit up Pan American Bakery for those guava-filled treats, but it also bakes its own Cuban bread daily. In business since 1986, the bakery sells its bread to other restaurants around Atlanta and uses the bread to make its cubanos.

Cash only. 

Lee's Bakery
