Our Daily Bread Bistro

5-19-2024 Sunday 11AM Breakfast. My wife and I. This ODB location on Jefferson St in Roanoke City breaks the norms of the other OBD venues in the Roanoke area. Rather than patrons standing in line, oogling over the huge selection of fresh pastries and breads in the glass cases while reading over the menus, waiting for the hostess to take your order, make payment, choose your own coffee (4 varieties) and then find a table and wait a few minutes for your order to be brought to you - this new location operates like typical restaurants: patrons are first seated at tables and are given menus, order, dine, then afterward pay the waitress at the table.
The GOOD: This new location is clean and fresh looking. The French Restaurant inspired menu selections (similar or identical to other ODB locations) all sounded great. Prices are not low, but they won't break the bank either - and the quality, presentation and flavors of the meals is very good.
The BAD: the parking lot is small, and nearby legal on-the-street parking is limited. Coffee selections: regular or decaf, while all other ODB locations offer at least 3-5 different Red Rooster flavors. Service: our waitress took our order and brought 1 cup of coffee and 1 ice water then never came back until she brought our check! So neither a 2nd cup of Joe or more water was offered.
The UGLY: this location is in an older remodeled building, a big rectangle box. The high metal ceiling, hard floors and walls all create an acoustic echo chamber as casual conversations at every table all add together to a loud cacophony of sounds. Many, many, many acoustic panels would fix this.

Love this place! Got a latte & ham/cheese croissant 😋

Stopped by today after my Dr appt. It's the old Greek restaurant Athens. The place is gorgeous inside! The creme brulee latte was outstanding! Got tomato basil 🌿 soups & croissants 🥐 to go! Can't wait to return loved the vibe 😁

Amazing dining experience! I stopped by after church on Sunday and had a wonderful breakfast meal! Highly recommend this location!

Best Cheese Danish I have ever had in Roanoke. Kudos!!
