Southern Sweets Bakery got its humble start in 1992 when a friend of Nancy Cole encouraged her to talk to the general manager of an established Atlanta steakhouse looking for a source for apple and pecan pies for their restaurant. She took this encouragement and was soon baking pies and cakes for this premiere steakhouse along with many of Atlanta's top restaurants and hotels. The wholesale experience sprouted an idea to open a retail store in the little Decatur warehouse district where Nancy was already baking for her wholesale clients. Shortly after offering these treats directly to the public a lunch menu was introduced and later the hours were extended into the morning for serving breakfast to their customers. Today we are proud of our history as many of those same restaurants and hotels continue to have our delightful desserts on their menus.
