About Independent Baking Co

Located at 1625 S Lumpkin St, Athens, GA 30606, Independent Baking Co operates as a bakery serving Athens in Georgia. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.

American bakeries range from wholesale operations that supply restaurants to neighborhood shops that sell bread, pastries, cookies and cakes over the counter, and many of them also pour coffee. Bagel shops boil and bake on site and sell out of favorite flavors by late morning; donut shops open before dawn and are often family-run; patisseries and cake studios take custom orders for weddings and birthdays and usually need one to two weeks' notice. Ice cream parlors, gelato shops and frozen yogurt bars are seasonal in the northern states and year-round in the South and on the West Coast. Prices are posted per item, by the dozen or by the pound, and most shops now take cards and mobile payment.

The business lists hours on 6 days of the week. The most common schedule is 7 am–5 pm. It is closed on Monday.

Athens is in Georgia, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Athens follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

I’ve heard that this is the best bakery in the state of Georgia. I agree. Baguettes, pastries, full fresh baked loaves of sourdough, French bread, rye, rotational things, and more. My palate skews sweet and their sweet-based pastries do not disappoint. The almond croissant is closer to the twice-baked style which is a little heavy but you can’t go wrong with the chocolate croissant. Do yourself a favor and check this place out, get something sweet and pick up a loaf of sourdough for later. You won’t regret it. Good coffee too.

The best brownie I ever had and I had quite a few. It's a small bakery,full of UGA students. Everyone was friendly. If you are a brownie lover you shouldn't miss this place.

Today was my first time visiting this bakery - great coffee and amazing vibes. Just didn’t like the fact that they charge even for water ($1.86 per glass). Maybe it’s not that bad, but somehow it didn’t resonate with me. Still definitely worth trying!

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!
