Bread & Company

Very good food, nice ambiance. It's not cheap but not outrageously priced, either. Turkey RRP (roasted red pepper), tomato soup and fruit tea are my faves. You can get that for ~$12. Staff is very friendly. The line to order can be long sometimes. They apparently have an online order option but I've never tried that. If you can't find parking out front, park in the garage attached to the Marriott hotel. Bring your parking ticket in for validation and then your parking will be free for up to 2 hours.

Great food! Mostly good service. However, the lady who took our order was super rude! She left in the middle of taking my order to grab a tip off of a table and brag to her coworkers. Then, she stopped in the middle of my friends order to have a conversation that was no work related. She was not pleasant, didn't smile, or even say hello. I would come back for everything else but be weary of the cashiers!

A little bit on the pricier side for the type of food they serve, but it's worth it every once in a while. It's very popular with Vanderbilt students, and can get busy at times, but the line moves pretty quickly. I recommend the pesto chicken quinoa power bowl and a cup of their delicious fruit tea. If you want something to bring back home, I'd heavily consider their fresh baked babka, baked daily, and displayed on the shelves right before the cash register. It's moist, flavorful, gooey, sticky, and delicious: easily the best babka I've ever had.

Have always loved Bread & Company. Their new decor is hip and cool - my last visit was almost a disaster but John (B?) saved the day with crazy above and beyond service. Rosemary was my cashier, she was uninterested, overwhelmed and undetailed. I ordered a simple bowl of soup and bread - she got it wrong. John had the job of bringing our food to our table and took care of correcting he careless mistakes. I'll be back because of the great food and John's incredible service.

I'very been a fan for years. It did used to be a bit better (pre-corporate buyout), but it's still really darn good! The Almond Tarragon Chicken Salad will be the best you'very ever tasted. The bacon they use on their sandwiches is particularly good as well- definitely add a couple strips to your sandwich. The horseradish chive mayonnaise will rock your world too. It's just a darn good sandwich. Yes, it is expensive. Expect to pay $8- $10 for a whole sandwich and chips. The fruit-tea is amazing as well, so add another buck or two for that. My sole complaint about this place is the fact that they 86'd the Jalepeno Cheddar bread. It was the best bread on the menu. Bring it back and i'll be sure to update this to a 5 star review.
