Stopped by to get some breakfast sandwiches here. I got the Findlay and it was delicious. The sandwich was creamy, crunchy, spicy, sweet, sour, smokey and savory. It had a good combination of flavors and textures. We also ordered some focaccia bread to eat later and the pretzel knots were also delicious. Would definitely come back to try their other sandwiches when I am in town.

Wow this is such a great and well run spot! They have a walk up window for ordering and you. An see what they have that's fresh baked in the window and they also have a small selection of delicious breakfast sandwiches and lunch sandwiches. Coffee and tea drinks are available as well. They keep things moving quickly and if you get a hit item they will tell you how long the wait will be. (5 min when I was there) There seems to be plenty if neighborhood parking but I imagine it could get busy and take a few extra minutes to park at busy traffic times. Totally worth it though! Oh and they also had bread loaves as well. Great spot I will come back to!

I visited for the first time June 2022 and currently they are open Thurs, Fri, and Sat from 10am-3pm for pick up (you can place your order in advance online) or walk up at the window. At 10am there was already a small line. All of the breads and pastries look amazing and fresh. I got the fruit (I think peach) danish (2 for 9.50), loaf of filone bread (6.25), and Herkimer drip coffee. Some of the best I've had! They do not offer espresso which I wish they did :).Note many of the pastries you cannot just buy one, it came in a box of 2. Similarly when ordering online some of the items you have to buy 4 or more at a time. Prices do seem a little on the higher end but worth it for a treat every once in a while! Friendly and speedy customer service. Found free street marking nearby.

Every time I come here it's such a treat on every level, no pun intended. Everything is so tasty and the service is always incredible. We just came in on my partners birthday after an earth shattering week in the hospital with multiple broken bones and they gifted us nearly a full bag of goodies. The generosity is heartwarming and tear jerking. Thank you; we are lifelong supporters!

This bakery is truly exceptional! Their customer service is top-notch, matched only by the high-quality treats they offer. Among their array of delightful offerings, their hot dog buns stand out as the most delicious and delightful I've ever tasted, arguably the best in the world :). Their attentive service has consistently met my needs over the last decade, for which I am deeply grateful. Thank you!

If you're lucky enough to swing by from Thursday through Saturday, you can enjoy some of the best baked goods ever at Columbia City Bakery. Here are my top five favorite things to order. If you're coming on a Saturday, you may want to order online in case they run out.Turkey Sandwich - I realize this isn't the sexiest item, but this will change the way you feel about a brown bag lunch.Brownies - Perfection! Microwave it for a few seconds and mix it with sweet cream ice cream for Molly Moon.Any kind of scone - These are to die for. If you see one with bacon, cheddar and dates, you have to try it.Campagne Pan Loaf - Slice, then rub with butter and salt. Some of the best bread you'll ever have. Savory Hand Pies - I had one with chorizo, potato and peppers. The crust alone is the stuff of dreams.Note to self, I need to try the freezer waffles next. They are calling my name. Loudly.

Absolutely delicious! Kept coming back for their rhubarb danish and amazing coffee cake. Savory Hand pies were delicious too. They kindly gave us some extra free pastries when they ran out of bread we'd ordered. Great food and great staff!

Second time today and I'm glad I live near this bakery! Things I've tried now...The pastries, the sandwich, the breads... I can guarantee you that the ingredients are of quality, having tried many good bakeries before. I'm glad they pay attention to quality and I feel the value is in the price of each item. Also, I love to support local businesses :) I noticed on Google that people said they were forced to buy two of the same baked goods in Covid but I can tell you that the bakery doesn't do this anymore. Service is warm I felt they were short handed a bit but food and beverage shops are having a hard time since the pandemic.Oh, they have a cafe stand with coffee, tea and lemonade to go.
