Hours at these spots often run into the evening, later than a typical coffee shop, and many stay open on weekends when demand is highest in Athens. Seasonal and limited-time drink or dessert flavors are common, so a shop's current menu can differ from what is posted online; checking recent photos or calling ahead helps. Some locations in Georgia are dessert-only with no seating, meant for takeout, while others have cafe-style seating for staying a while. Straws for bubble tea are typically wide to accommodate the toppings, and are provided automatically unless you ask for a regular one. Loyalty apps and stamp cards are common at chain locations, and ordering ahead through an app can shorten a wait considerably at busy locations during peak after-school and after-dinner hours.

Hours are published for 6 days a week. Typical hours are 7 am–5 pm. It is closed on Monday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (706) 850-3550. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is independentbaking.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Customers rate it 4.8 out of 5 on Google across 328 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded asian bakeries in Athens.

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.

Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across Georgia's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

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!
