Bread Garden Market

I used Bread Garden Catering for my wedding this past weekend and I can not say enough good things about the experience. Allison was so wonderful from start to finish between coordinating tastings and simply being patient through my emails. She always answered my questions quickly and concisely. We used their services for both food and bar at our event and they were both wonderful. Everyone had so many good things to say about the appetizers, dinner, and drinks. The staff was very friendly to both us and our guests. If you are looking for a company to cater your next event, I can not recommend Bread Garden enough!

Had a terrible time yesterday. I was followed around the store by an employee who kept peeking around corners to make sure I wasn't stealing something. I am a person of color and this is not the first time it has happened.
Previously I had an lost prevention employee ask the cashier if had paid for my groceries as I was at the register still paying. It seems I am being targeted by the lost prevention on the basis of my skin color as I have always paid for my items and don't do anything out of the ordinary. I find this pretty awful consider a few months back they had BLM posters on their windows.

I love their salads and sandwiches. I also really enjoy their hummus. Overall it's a great place in downtown Iowa City for a quick meal and/or a quick grocery run.

Food is okay but grocery area and restaurant expensive for the quality of food.

I loved the burritos here. I’ve been getting them 2-4/week for the last three years. The prices have gone up and they keep getting smaller and smaller. They were comparable in size to chipotle, but now they’re about as big as a hot pocket.

While the food they provide is wonderful and the atmosphere is good, they have a lot of work to do in terms of sustainability. It is sometimes difficult to bring your own containers to shop in bulk. Their register system does not work well at all with bulk shopping if you bring your own jar. But to shoppers reading this: don't be discouraged! Continue to ask management and employees about the issue and hopefully the market will fix the problem!

What a fun, unexpected treasure! Grocery, bakery, deli, restaurant all in one! A little pricey for groceries, but their breads are works of art and reasonably priced. Lots of choices for lunch from buffet sold by weight, to soups, to specials of the day. I had the salmon patty, and an orange. The patty was surprisingly cold, but delicious, and the orange expensive (about 90 cents) but also delicious. Great spot with lots of light to sit and eat with an eclectic mix of business people in expensive suits, to street workers in their gear, to students, to a homeless man enjoying a gifted meal. Fascinating! Highly recommend!

I just ordered from the deli and the sandwich was good, but the exponential wait time and lack of customer service left a bitter taste in my mouth. The deli worker with a tie dye hat spent more time openly responding to his phone than taking the time to make my 4 ingredient sandwich. I hope he sanitized his phone before working, because he never switched his gloves the whole time while making my sandwich.

Great time visiting here with my wife. Fun place to go, both to eat and shop. Wide variety of items to purchase, and their grill had nice amount to choose from, reasonably priced too. Went for breakfast, and the scrambles were fun to customize and tasted very good. Highly recommend!

Love Bread Garden. They catered my wedding and everyone still talks about the food 3 years later. Tasty donuts and pastries. Love the lunch offerings and they cycle through discounts so you can try everything from tacos to pizza for $4 during the week! They also do a wine tasting Fridays which is fun and informative.
