The Flying Biscuit Cafe

Such a local favorite! I loved my lunch at Marti’s at Midday — the sandwiches, fresh salads, and house‑made scoops are full of flavor and made with care. The cozy café in a historic Normaltown cottage with its sunny patio is the perfect spot for a relaxed midday meal with friends or a quick solo bite. Friendly service and delicious, quality food make this one of the best lunch spots in Athens!

Oct '24: So...very terrible experience. Barely acknowledged once seated and got the feeling it was a bother for us to be there, especially from the manager. We were seated at the bar and an employee carted trash bags in the aisle behind us; there is not much room between the bar and the tables. Perhaps they should wait until after closing so as not to gross customers out. We watched several customers come in and wait without being acknowledged at all and then finally sat after at least 5 minutes without the place being busy. We will not be back to this location.

Very clean restaurant. Our waitress AJ gave excellent service and checked on us often. First time I had lunch here and it was delicious. You can get any of the sandwiches as a wrap. I got the chicken sandwich as a wrap and it was very tasty. I have had breakfast here before and has always been good. This restaurant was located across from Athens Piedmont Hospital.

The food was good, but disappointing from all of the hype. The biscuit was flat and crumbling not light and fluffy as advertised. The chicken was a bit dry. The waffle on the other hand was light and fluffy, but would have been better with a better quality syrup instead random syrup packets. I am hoping it was just an off day.

Great place to eat. Great atmosphere. Very upbeat and uplifting for a breakfast place for sure. I knew it was going to be good when I walked in the door. They had outside seating as well. My wife got a wheat pancake. I got the peaches and cream waffle. Grits were amazing. Great service. Will be back soon. It’s our new breakfast spot.
