Why this Georgia bakery is crowned No. 1 in state by Food Republic

From beloved neighborhood bakeries to hidden gems serving up handcrafted treats, every state has a bakery worth putting on the map. A new feature from Food Republic highlights one bakery in each state, recognizing the businesses that stand out for their food, reputation and customer reviews. Georgia's pick combines two culinary traditions under one roof, bringing together artisan baking and a butcher counter. Here's which Georgia bakery made the list and what makes it stand out. Best bakery in Georgia Atlanta's Evergreen Butcher and Baker earned the honor for its naturally leavened sourdough baguettes, which also landed it on a New York Times list of the best bakeries in 2024. The bakery, located at 2011 Hosea L. Williams Dr. NE, is known for Vollkornbrot, a slightly tangy wholegrain rye, as well as buttery croissants and sausage rolls available in flavors like ham and cheese and chocolate. "Most bakeries don't have the benefit of a fully operational, artisan butcher counter, but young married couple Emma and Sean decided to utilize both of their talents at Evergreen Butcher + Baker," Food Republic wrote. The publication also pointed to the restaurant's Cheeseburger Sundays, featuring burgers served on fermented, house-baked sesame buns. .oembed-frame {
