Root Baking Co. Opens In Midtown Atlanta

The eatery will bake fresh bread daily as well as serve as a cafe offering breakfast, lunch and dinner fare Monday through Saturday, followed by happy hour and dinner, with brunch all day on Sundays.

Dishes you can expect to enjoy are Tahini & Turmeric Seed Granola with Yogurt and Fruit for breakfast and Za’atar Roasted Chicken with Harissa Pickled Carrots, Toum, Tarator and A Lot of Herbs on Sorghum Bread at lunch.

Root Baking Co. also plans to introduce the metro area to different chefs from around the South by bringing them in to host dinner pop-ups throughout the year.

This is not Root Baking’s first rodeo. The shop has gotten national acclaim, including being recognized among “The Best Bread Bakeries in the South” by USA Today in 2017. The bakery has also appeared in Southern Living and on Zagat’s “30 Under 30” Charleston list.

The establishment is just the latest one to solidify Midtown Atlanta as a dining mecca in the metro area. Ponce City Market has become the premiere community hub for people in Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward neighborhood.
