The venue
Big City Bread Cafe
Our market sets up in the courtyard at the Big City Bread Cafe — a family-run bakery and cafe that has been an Athens favorite since 1998. Come for the handmade art and gifts and make an evening of it: dinner, drinks, and holiday baked goods are all just steps away.

About the cafe
A locally owned, family-run bakery and cafe, Big City Bread has been baking bread and feeding Athens for more than 25 years. Everything is made in house — breads, pastries, and cakes — with meals built around locally sourced produce, meats, and cheeses.
Stop in for breakfast, brunch, or lunch, or a weeknight dinner with beer and wine. Coffee lovers are in good hands too, with espresso drinks pulled from locally roasted beans. Dine indoors or out on the patio — the same courtyard that fills with art and artists during the market.
