INDEPENDENT BAKING CO REVIEWS
Independent has the most quality and authentic pastries and bread loaves I have ever had outside of Italy. I would highly recommend their chocolate croissant if you like something light, flaky, and chocolate-y. Their Olive Bread is a family favorite, and we love to eat it with a little butter on top. I have never been disappointed with any of their products and I’ve been a customer for years Parking is a little difficult and I would not recommend taking more than 3 people inside with you due to the smaller size of the building.
We love this little place! Our kids love the chocolate croissants and we love every single thing we've tried, usually go there on the weekends to get fresh breads. They always have a smile on their faces and are super friendly, there is no pressure to get you to buy and get you out the door quickly, they also have a small terrace next to the running store so you can get your coffee and pastries and enjoy the people go by.
The danishes. Omg the danishes. Usually when I get danishes I pick around the edges and go straight for the filling but the flaky pastry is SO GOOD and so buttery you’re going to want to eat the edges. Their loaves are also amazing and have such great flavor and the filling is perfectly balanced, not too sweet and just rich enough

SWEETIE PIE BY SAVIE REVIEWS
We ordered a bunch of items for Thanksgiving and the entire family raved about everything! The quiches (bacon and onion and green curry) made for an awesome breakfast. You could probably feed 4-6 per quiche. Then the carrot cake — WOW! The 8-in cake was like 5 inches tall and the frosting was awesome. And we our course had pies for thanksgiving dinner. The pecon and mixed berry were both a huge hit. We also tried some of the muffins that we saw in store when we picked up - the pandan and taro cranberry were really fun. Highly recommend if you need a cake for a birthday or really just any reason to treat yourself. The women who work here and own the business are also awesome and really nice!
An adorable little shop that you must experience if you live in Athens! Their bakery selection has plenty of the “classics” as well as unique fun flavors that you won’t be able to get anywhere else in town (Thai tea cupcakes, red bean croissants, kimchi scones). Their cakes are on another level as well! And I’m always surprised at how low my total is (they’ve got great prices). Bonus: they normally have a few gluten free options!
In ordered a cake from Sweetie Pie by Savie for the first time yesterday and I’ll definitely be a repeat customer. I ordered the chocolate raspberry and it was absolutely delicious. I’m excited to try other flavors.

KROGER REVIEWS
Mr Evan is a superstar. He bagged my groceries at the self checkout snd then I was short on money to pay my grocery bill snd he helped me with that too paying the monies I still owed. He is truly a gem thank you so much. Your generosity snd help was so appreciated as I was so upset that I did not have enough money for the groceries for my family. I will pay it forward when I see someone in need as well
The remodeling that has been completed is outstanding. The store has wider isles, increased inventory and sale items. Customer service throughout the store was excellent. I highly recommend shopping at the Epps Bridge store. Will return soon.
Expanded! Now much bigger and with Starbucks inside. it was good before, attendants are super nice, prices are good and now it is even better!
