It was 90% humidity and I walked in sweating like a Christmas pig, yet wanted an Americano. Had been shopping for items needed for week long stay so wasn't looking my Sunday best. Didn't get a good vibe from staff. I like the fact that when you order Americano they give you hot water to allow you to decide how strong you want it. Has great desserts but I needed to get home plus just didn't feel welcome in there sad because it's right down from Andaz where we're staying. Won't be back.

So I'm not blessed with the virtue of patience, but this is one place I will line up for. Get there before the lunch rush, or be prepared to line up down the street. It's not so bad as the staff hand you menu's which conveniently can be used as a fan. My mother in law loves the bread pudding and it's pretty freaking incredible. All the sandwiches are fresh and the assortment will keep you coming back. The staff are wonderful and it's truly a must. We've been for both breakfast and lunch and have not been disappointed.

This place is a lesson in how to destroy the charm and ambiance of a cafe. From the moment you arrive you're blasted by a corporate churn and burn mentality. You can't take a seat until you order. If you do a bouncer with a microphone will eject you from the seat. The place is packed with tables to the point where the only way to move is to nudge other patrons out of the way. Meanwhile bouncer guy roams the "cafe" eyeballing people who've finished. The not mildly subtle hint is once that final forkful hits your mouth, it's time to leave. All of this combines to ruin the atmosphere. We enjoyed the taste of their famous bread pudding but it wasn't amazing and was overshadowed. The coffee was mediocre. Food at the other tables looked tasty but uninspired; think standard piles of cheese and meat. Overall we left unhappy and pretty upset by the experience that seemed quite intentional by the proprietors. Don't recommend, won't go again.

Busy place for a Thursday late morning, long line but it went quickly and food came out pretty fast! 2 stars: I wanted to see what all the hype was about for the bread pudding...it was okay. Lots of cinnamon if you like that, had cream cheese inside or something like it. In my opinion, it wasn't that amazing as others have mentioned on yelp. We didn't finish it and actually wanted to send it back..but didn't. 3 stars: We also got the Scarborough sandwich and it was pretty good. Fresh ingredients, although their multigrain bread was very hard. Most likely not have been made that day..maybe a few days old. 4 stars: I got the Quiche: Tomato, onion, basil, avocado. This was pretty good, however you can't taste the basil at all, it's not fresh basil, it's the dried seasoning. I liked the crust it had, it was like a pie crust! Yum! I like this dish the most out of everything we got! Note: microwaved to make it hot.. Would rather they warmed it up on the oven or something similar to make it less soft/microwaved tasty. Service was nice, friendly, and pretty quick, they were ready to clean up our tables and get things out of the way for us, which was really nice.

Goose Feather's definitely beat my expectations. I was rather hungry when we arrived and there was a line just about out the door. That is no reflection on the quality of service though, other than the fact that this place is so good, everyone wants in on it. Everything about our meal was perfect. Bread was fresh and our sandwiches were stacked high. The curried rice and edamame salad was wonderful. With all the appetizing menu selections, I don't think you could go wrong with ordering anything they offer.

Home made croissants how can you go wrong??? Downtown hommy feel with a hot breakfast to start the day after a long night!!! Staff is super friendly and service is quick! Got here around 9:30m and there was a line but it went super fast! Highly recommend

Good food, but not memorable. I got the bird's nest, which was two poached eggs in grits with salsa and cheese. Good presentation and good flavors but lacked a little seasoning. My husband was not into this place. There were not many "meaty" and fillings options for him. He got the club and said it was okay but was still hungry and didn't want to wait in line again. I would probably try this place again with a girl friend for brunch and a small appetite.

My husband and I decided to make a breakfast stop at Goose Feathers after our hours long drive from Tampa. Parking was a little tricky as we didn't know the territory that well. However, we managed to find an open spot off the main drag, around the corner from Goose Feathers. The line was definitely long as others have mentioned but to me, this is always a good sign. Whether it was due to local fans or tourists, the wait did not bother me much. It actually went rather quickly and most certainly was a good time to review the menu (since the staff were handing out menus anyway). Very smart! The staff here are polite, hospitable and give excellent customer service. Please and thank you, excuse me or pardon me. They keep the place clean and orderly, clear empty dishes quickly and are quick about refilling beverage cups. I would say it was the good mannered Southern hospitality you hear about but I went to plenty other places in Savannah that didn't have service like this. At Goose Feathers, the staff worked cohesively like one machine, including the owner who I saw working just as hard as her staff. I ordered the Eggetarian and my husband ordered the Eggs Benedict sandwich. The eggetarian was absolutely delicious! I was craving a mix of eggs benedict and tomato but didn't want meat or a salad. The eggetarian was a good combination of what I wanted. I think the pesto really makes a difference with this sandwich and was likely the reason it tasted so fresh. Actually, my husband liked my sandwich better than his regular eggs benedict sandwich, which was really good too but he loves pesto. Overall, I would visit Goose Feathers again and see what else they have to offer. We really liked this place!

Great little cafe. Service is fairly quick as most of their entrees are already made or half prepared. Prices are reasonable considering the location. I like their system. You stand in line order at the counter and then you take beverages with you and some food but also a table tent for the rest. The had a large variety. We had the Belgian waffle with strawberries, basil avocado quick and ham and swiss croissant. It was all tasty. We also had the chocolate cake but that tasted a bit more like cafeteria cake. Some of their portions were small for the value or looked like cafeteria food that had been sitting out for a while (fruit and pasta salad for example). The staff was very attentive and they did a great job with the volume considering size.

Loved the veggie sandwich i had with havarti and pesto mayo! The multi-grain baguette that it came on was crunchy on the outside, but soft, chewy and light inside. It was really some of the best bread Ive had in awhile. Its hard to do an all vegiie sandwich right (especially for a meat eater) and this was delicious and very filling. The rest of the group had soups and sandwiches, which they all enjoyed. The food for all 5 of us came out quickly and we were onto our travels after a quick lunch. Be prepared to come in, order/pay, seat yourself, get your own napkins and silverware, then have the actual food be brough out by your server. Lots of choices, lots of desserts! Only sad i didnt get to try the bread pudding!

I've been told once or twice that breakfast is the most important meal of the day... but I still pass on it (just have no appetite when I first wake each morning... Unless I'm on vacation and constantly "on the go", then I work up an appetite. Last visit to Savannah we stepped out of the hotel on our first morning and searched for a breakfast spot (without Yelp and without a car)... Frankly Historic Savannah is rather quiet in the morning but we kept noticing people walking in the same general direction. Granted I'm sure were on their way to work, school or what ever but there was a gathering by the entrance of Goose Feathers. That "gathering" turned out to be an impressively, long line (on a weekday nonetheless). A couple tables outside and plenty of inside seating, customers just wait in line to order at the counter... simple bakery or room temperature items are handed to the customers and hot dishes or items needing preparation are brought out to the table. Dishes varied from typical made-on-the-premises breads, pastries, bagels, buttery croissants and quite a variety of everything that hits the spot first thing A.M. Plus plenty of coffees and teas to choose from as well. That first morning I ordered (2) croissants... one savory (Ham and Swiss Croissant) and one sweet (Strawberry Preserve filled Croissant)... SO PERFECTLY DONE. Marisol had a Lorraine Quiche (bacon, tomato and avocado)... as good as mine was HER'S WAS EVEN BETTER. Breakfast was so good that rather than try another place the next morning (even though on vacation and only makes sense to try another place)... we returned for round two. This time we shared a Breakfast Panini (eggs, cheddar, salami and roasted peppers on ciabatta bread) as recommended by the "very" friendly staff as a specialty of theirs (not all that special but it was good). We also shared a plain croissant (not as good as the day before though). Though we didn't return for lunch during our stay in Savannah, I did peruse the menu and definitely think it would be something to try; especially the hot sandwich options like Honey Ginger Chicken sandwich or the Chicken Bacon Mushroom Melt. They also have a lot of cold sandwiches and salads (the menu choices are plenty). Next time in town I will be returning... and why not... plenty of menu items, tastes good, reasonably priced, friendly staff, clean and comfortable dining area.

Family friendly breakfast joint in a great location? I'm sold! Goose Feathers is the kind of place that you can see becoming a regular at. The employees are nice, the menu is varied, the food was tasty, and in general I had a great experience taking in some breakfast here! Definitely get the yogurt with honey (it's Savannah Bee Company honey, of course), and I really enjoyed my egg, bacon, and cheese croissant as well. Then, after breakfast, make sure you've got a little bit of time leftover because you're going to want to take a stroll down through all the adorable shops and storefronts that surround Goose Feathers in this part of downtown Savannah!

Jane Y.
Just passing through Savannah and had a great breakfast here. You order at the counter, put your number on the table, and your food is brought to you, and then they bus the table for you. The bread pudding, cheese grits, oatmeal, spinach and feta croissant, and coffee were all excellent! Nothing but praise! We were in at about 8:30 on a weekday, and did not have a wait. Multiple servers/ managers came by to encourage us to get more coffee (which we had in house but they also said we could get refills to go), and were overall super friendly. The place was super clean, as well.

A cute little breakfast place. We got there right when it opened so there wasn't really line but it got crowded super fast. I got a slice of quiche, bacon, and home fries. I thought the home fries were great and they came with sour cream. The quiche and bacon were pretty good but nothing specifically special. Would go again. Would love to try a woopie pie next time.

Lauren T.
This place has good food, but it is not incredible or memorable. It is nice to find a quick place with some affordable offerings, but that is all it is. You really do need to get the bread pudding. They do that right. I had the eggs benedict as was not impressed. It comes on a croissant. The sauce is weak, the ham is a bit like deli meat, and the eggs are done over hard. I wasn't as happy as I could have been about that obviously. But when the line is long, never fear, they get you through it pretty quickly and seem to have staff that knows what to do and is on top of it without looking or acting frazzled towards the customer.

This place is very busy but they are quick and there is very little wait for food. I had a peach whoopie pie, bread pudding, and iced latte. The peach whoopie pie is definitely too sweet. The bread pudding was very good but it was quite small unfortunately. The iced latte was decent.

The restaurant is a well oiled piece of machinery. The lines are long and the staff is efficient and getting people in, seating them and moving them on quickly. I had to have the "Best Bread Pudding in Savannah" because I love bread pudding and will go out of my way to order it as I did at Goose Feathers. I didn't finish my serving. It suffered from textural faults and the taste was just "ok". Far too mushy on the inside and the outer edges were beyond crispy crunchy. Others in our party agreed the food was average. We are 100% convinced the scrambled eggs are of the powdered and microwaved variety. The brownie to go I found under the car seat days later with a few bites missing. If it had been tasty I am sure it would of been consumed immediately. Who doesn't finish chocolate brownies??!

We came across this restaurant as we searched for a breakfast place on our way to the old savannah tours and we were glad we did. We had quiche Lorraine & grits and poached eggs, grits & fruit cup. It was self service, but quick and delicious. A great place for a quick, delicious breakfast without any frills.

Great cafe. Pretty quick service. They left off the avocado on my sandwich (the reason I ordered it is that I wanted avocado) and didn't realize till I was done eating that it wasn't there because the sandwich was so good.

Great food: simple, tasty, fun! While the food is great, what makes this establishment truly shine is its customer service! In the past few years that I have been coming here, I have always been passed with the welcoming, friendly service of Goose and Feathers. Parking can be intimidating, but Park in the nearby structure, and it will take you across the street from the entrance--convenient!

3.75 stars. Simple, easy fare, ordered at the counter then brought to your table. Food is fresh and tasty. Service is friendly and efficient. Coffee is very good.

We really lucked out finding this place through the referal of our door man. We came here back in December 2014. Every staff member we encountered were so happy and friendly. Like they really enjoy their job here. Which makes a difference in customer service and the ambiance! If you like poached eggs, try their Bird Nest. We also tried the scrambled egg croissant and the Barnard Street Club. Mind you, I am NOT a bread or flour-by-product fan, but this sandwich was incredible. I can't remember what they infused with their pesto salad dressing but it was incredible. I smothered it all over my sandwich!

Have been here many times as I live right around the corner. Overall, good food for cheap with a hit or miss staff experience. Recommend going for breakfast! The good; excellent food (recommend the eggs benedict, sticky buns!, and fruit croissants). Low price for the quality of food. The bad; normally order to go (recommend this route, long lines normally and you can go eat in the square), but for some reason the staff normally gives an attitude it seems when going this route versus the line (even though there is a separate line and they advertise this).

We walked by and noticed the menu. Everything looked great but we had decided to move on because we had our little dog with us and there wasn't enough outdoor seating. John noticed us and immediately set a table outside for all 7 of us and our dog. The food was great too. Worth a visit.

Long lines move fast. Despite seeing some ok reviews we boldly go anyway. Cool place and the food is not pricey and is of solid quality. They do some pretty nice medleys and takes on old recipes. The Eggs Benedict was really good. Wife had the Egg Bagel and the bagel was, as she said,"perfect". So there ya go. Eat up!!

Stopped in for lunch on way back from Tybee Island. Food was good. Desserts were delicious, we tried the bread pudding and peach woopie pie. My turkey sandwich tasted a bit blan considering I picked the pesto mayo and it did not have real turkey, it was lunch meat and only had one slice. The bread was very good and tasted fresh.

Joanna V.
This is a great fast breakfast spot. They have your usual diner fare along with some more brunchy items. Everything was made of great quality and the servers were incredibly friendly. This is a great place to come have breakfast or lunch. There will be a bit of a line so keep that in mind.

Great cafe for simple sandwiches or a quick breakfast bite! Every time I've gone it's been fairly crowded, but the service is quick. Have yet to try the desserts/sweets....but the bread pudding is supposed to be one of the best in town.

Great for eggs, a sandwich, pastry, coffee, tea. All fresh. Simple but very fresh and well made. Not too much of any ingredient. Clean. Nice system. You order anything you want at the counter, you pay, and go find a table. They serve you at your table very quickly.

Can't think of any cons so I'll skip my usual format of Pros, Cons, and final verdict. This place rocks. For $6.75, you can get delicious eggs benedict on a homemade croissant. My wife got a large plate of excellent grits with two poached eggs, salsa, and cheese for the same price. The food is unassuming, to the point, and very good. The service is friendly, the wait was zilch/super short, and it is in a lovely part of town. Maybe we'll go back tomorrow morning for seconds!

I came here about two Decembers ago and it was so delicious I still remember how delicious it was but the service wasn't as memorable but who cares when something tastes this good. I ordered the savannah style eggs Benedict and it was the best decision I've ever made. I love eggs Benedict as it is and I'm on a quest to find the perfect one and so far this has the #1 spot in my heart. First of all, it was served on a soft, warm, flaky, buttery croissant and it was such a pleasant twist from the original eggs Benedict. The egg was poached perfectly spilling the yellow egg yolk all over the perfectly savory slices of ham all blanketed with the best hollandaise sauce I've ever laid my taste buds on. It was love at first bite. Every single bite got better, the last bite being the best which is my favorite occurrence when on a culinary adventure. It is my favorite dish to date and I've longed for it ever since, constantly considering taking the drive from Orlando to savannah just to give it another go.

Jennifer K.
Great place for breakfast or lunch. My husband and I stopped here for lunch today. You order first then find a seat and they will bring your meal to you. We were pleased with the service and how light the meal was. I had the chicken salad sandwich (lightly tossed in pesto mayo with grapes) and my hubby had the chicken pita (hot diced chicken, romaine salad, bacon bits, and tossed in ranch) and pasta salad (traditional but lightly tossed in Oil). We enjoyed it so much that we plan on stopping in for breakfast one morning.

Ann C.
While passing through, I was looking for a place to eat breakfast. One of the carriage tours recommended this place. The line was quick (which I certainly appreciate with two restless hungry kids) The menu selection offered excellent choices for kids and grownups. Kids gobbled the scrambled eggs. I had the Eggs Benedict. (My favorite) Fast and very polite service.
(5)
Shane G.
I was not disappointed. The veggie panini was flavorful and the gazpacho was the best I've had, so fresh and flavorful. The iced coffee was perfect.
(5)
Diane Z.
The panini and bagels were way underbaked. Nothing was golden brown, but rather it was white and pale. I like it better when I have bread items that are crispy and golden on the outside. Also, I'm not a fan of how the restaurant works. You go in and try to decide what you want from the huge menu. Then get in line, order, and pay. Then you take your number and find a table and wait for your food. Eat then bus yourself. Definitely feels like they want us to pay for service that we will not get. I'd rather it be completely self serve or a sit down restaurant. But this hybrid just confuses and leads to resentment by both sides if either does not follow the protocol that is just expected to be known.

We ate here on a recent trip to Savannah and really enjoyed it. It was a stone's throw away from our hotel, the Andaz Savannah. The place gets packed quickly, but don't let the line keep you from going. The owners have the ordering and line down to a science and were able to get us through the line and served pretty quickly. I got the bird's nest--a "nest" of grits with two poached eggs, some salsa, and cheese. Delicious!!! The grits were cooked to perfection and I'm a harsh critic growing up on grist. The eggs were perfectly poached and I love the unexpected addition of the salsa and cheese. I may try to replicate this at home. Overall, this is a wonderful place for bfast and I suspect for lunch as well (based on bfast).

This is a cool al la carte style restaurant. They have a lot of baked goods like muffins, bagels, and croissants. Their dishes include waffles and sandwiches and grits and other things. It isn't really a biscuits and gravy type place. It's also very quick service. The drip coffee was great too!

Raj B.
We woke up late and we're looking for a place that served a late breakfast. Thankfully we found this place that serves breakfast all day! The Belgian waffles with strawberries and whipped cream are not the best I've had but still pretty good. Even though they were crowded, the service was fast and amazing. We were sitting outside and I dropped my fork and the manager, John, just appeared out of now where and brought me another fork! Overall great experience.

Well prepared food, but not mind-blowing. Tried the Eggetarian, which was a breakfast sandwich on a croissant - the croissant was perfect, as were the eggs, but wasn't memorable; I was hoping the pesto would add some flare, but there wasn't much on the sandwich. Everything is self-serve, so you'll be waiting in line to order and filling your own drinks, along with finding your own seat. Nice to try out, but won't make a point to return.

Beautiful little cafe tucked away in the historic district of Savannah. Great place for breakfast/brunch with a variety of choices. Kid friendly with a kid's menu. Great service from a very friendly staff. This place defines the meaning of southern hospitality. The food is also amazing. Try the breakfast burrito which is not overloaded with stuff, just simple tasty ingredients that come together beautifully. If you're in Savannah overnight, this is a required stop for breakfast.

Eggs Benedict was good, but the other meal (Bird's Nest) was underwhelming. There were several cracked egg shell pieces in the dish and the coffee was far too cold. Decent, but nothing too great.

Jim B.
This place runs like a machine; greeter outside was handing out menus at the end of the (short) line, one gal was keying in orders, second gal rings up your cash or credit, if there will be a wait for your food, they give you a tray with a numbered flag for the food runner to locate you. Stopped in on a Sunday about 8:30 AM. Cappuccino and eggs benedict. Came to about $12.00 before the tip. Food was OK but not special. I would try them again for more of the menu. Servers are friendly; decor is nice enough for a cafe. Food came out very fast. Four stars may be being too nice; but it is pretty good overall.
(4)
Steve K.
Good breakfast place--a bit of a line to get in, but worth it. Had the Bird's Nest--a pair of poached eggs over some grits with a ring of cheese around then. Yummy. The bread pudding was even better--strongly recommend getting it.

Brielle P.
No wonder everyone recommends this place.... Very yummy breakfast. I had a breakfast burrito with a side of there breakfast potato... I'm picky about my potatoes and these were the bomb! Even good enough to share with the table cause I needed them to see how good they were. Excellent and tentative service. Food came out fast and hot.

Cheap, reliable food. It's like a diner/cafe/bakery/brunch spot. Nothing is omg-shut-up-and-eat-this fantastic, but nothing is bad. If you are looking for a reliable place to get breakfast or an easy lunch in Savannah, this is the place.

Jaimi A.
Fast and tasty this express cafe will fill you up and get you out in under 30 minutes if that is your aim. We arrived a little after opening, around 830, and barely had to wait for our food. The line at the counter swelled and shrunk a few times during our breakfast, but no one ever had to wait more than five minutes from order to table. I had the Eggs Benedict, which was tasty, but I was kicking myself for not ordering the Bird's Next which looked amazing (I did snitch a taste from my husband and it was tasty!). I had the bread pudding as well. I wasn't a fan of the marmalade-like topping on it, but otherwise it was tasty.
(5)
Walter S.
This place has been a regular lifesaver for breakfast, Tasty full bodied coffee is a draw. Their take on eggs Benedict with a croissant is tasty, the bread pudding rocks, fruit bowls are a welcome addition, and at lunch we tried a Salmon BLT and a Chicken Bacon Mushroom Melt were both savory. The staff deserves special thanks for greeting folks at the door and offering menus before people get to the counter to order, it really helps everyone and speeds things up.

While this place had great service, the food was not exactly what I was looking for in the heart of historic Savannah. I was somewhat disappointed by The food. However the pastries seemed alright. Again, the service was excellent.

We stopped in at this charming breakfast spot one Tuesday morning before embarking on an equally charming trolley tour of historic Savannah. Because, when in Savannah, you can't help but do charming things like this. As it was a weekday, we didn't face much of a line: just enough for us to decide what to order. We ordered at the register and then found our own place to sit; there's no wait service. The decor was cute-- bit of a throwback. The vibe was very chill. Lately, I have been trying to order things that are not eggs benedict when getting breakfast/brunch, but I just couldn't say no to the Savannah-style Eggs Benny (served on a croissant instead of an English muffin). It was pretty delicious, and the croissant added an extra succulence to the dish. I also had a refreshing frozen cappuccino. My boyfriend had the bird's nest, which he enjoyed but found very filling. This is definitely a nice place to come if you're looking for a quick, casual, tasty bite. However, if you're planning on lingering, brunching, boozing or anything of the sort, maybe pick somewhere else.

This was a savannah original, and man is it good. It's fast, simple, light food! The quiche I got was good! I love simple and quick food! My husband got a breakfast sandwich and it was huge. And good as well! The waiters were super friendly and so was the manager! Would come back for sure!!

Food was great. Line was crazy. Once you order it goes pretty fast, but the line is a bit annoying. You can do a web order and walk right up to pick up your order so I suggest that. A little thinking ahead will save you time and you could still sit and eat there. Quiche, croissants and waffles all excellent.

When we got here it was packed! The worst part was coming in from the heat outside and standing in a line that was to the door sweating because it was so hot in there! The heat inspired me to get a frozen cappuccino which was sweet and icy I personally couldn't finish it, but it was refreshing. We each ordered a pastry I got a chocolate croissant heated up and my boyfriend got a cinnamon roll which had a chunk missing probably from where they ripped in from another one so someone else probably got bonus cinnamon roll and we missed out. I'd say the cinnamon roll was better, but the chocolate croissant was really good too. I had a slice of ham and broccoli quiche and it was so delicious, but served Luke warm to cold and I think it would have been a little better if it was warmer. My boyfriend got the special, which was an egg and cheese breakfast burrito topped with house made salsa and he added bacon and every part of that was delicious! The prices are great, the food is great, the temperature cooled off as it emptied out and we were seated. I would definitely recommend this place!

This place makes an incredible breakfast sandwich. I got the Eggetarian, and it was delicious. My mom got an almond croissant, which was offered heated, and was equally good. OJ is fresh and tastes great. The prices here aren't that expensive (especially compared to surrounding restaurants), and my only complaint would be the wait, but they move through the line as quickly as they can.

Honestly, I crave this place at least 3 times a week. Their waffles are to die for! They have all different types of brunch food and super fast service. If I lived on Broughton I would get delivery everyday!

Enjoyed a morning breakfast here. Had the bird's nest cheese grits -- they were wonderful! The coffee was also a treat. Ordering is easy, and the place light and open. Only complaint, coffee refills require repurchase.

An excellent cafe! We were drawn to this place by the immense crowds during the weekend and an off-the-cuff referral by a local. The cafe was clean and they had a terrific selection of pastries and breakfast / brunch / lunch items for sale. I highly recommend their croissants and their bread pudding, heated of course. Goosefeather's prices were very reasonable and the staff was very friendly. Go early if you don't want to stand in line. We will definitely go back. This place was great!

The comment card that I attached to this post tells all. We stayed at a small b&b across from Forsythe Park and the short trek down Whitaker was well worth the food here. Simple, flavorful and cheap. Don't let the line scare you, it flies.

Great breakfast place. Dont let line fool you because it goes pretty fast. I got the eggetarian (with scrambled eggs instead of poached). Liked it so much that we went back a few days later. Prices were good too.

Great place for breakfast. The place your order and take a seat system even worked on a bust Easter Sunday. The Nest, with a side of ham made a hearty breakfast. Pork sausage and rosemary potatoes with poached eggs made a first rate combo for my wife.

One of the best bakery in Savannah . The butter croissant and chocolate croissant are just unbelievable!!! By the way the croissant was one of the best croissant I ever try in the USA. I m originally from Switzerland and today I finally find back after 1 year an awesome bakery !! I m so glad to have them in savannah !!

Mike K.
Breakfast was great! I really enjoyed the grits and eggs. Perfect start to a warm day in Savannah. We got there at 9:15 on a Sunday and had a short wait. By 11 the line was down the block. Go early and head to the river walk.

B R.
Looks daunting when you walk up and see a line out the door but its a counter walk up and order concept. The oatmeal was the best I've ever had and my boyfriend loved his croissant breakfast sandwich! The customer service is spot on which table bussers and managers constantly walking around to check on you. Great food, great atmosphere, and delicious classics! Do it!

Kim D.
Highly rated for the area, and we were hanging out in the City Market area at the right time. We stopped in, encountered a small wait. I grabbed an outside table, while my buddy ordered. We both got the combo (1/2 sandwich plus cup of soup). We got the chicken salad - delicious! My friend got the gazpacho (my first time trying it, pretty tasty) and I got the cream of vegetable soup (REALLY REALLY GOOD). The only thing is that the chicken salad sandwich was more bread than chicken salad and I commented on this when the manager came by. He said it was a "measured" scoop, but surprised me by bringing a cup back with a few spoonfuls more of the chicken salad. I filled my sandwich bread for a perfect sandwich! I would visit it again. Our meal together was about $15 with one drink, before tip.

It's just so good, everything here. I don't even have to provide advice, just come. Actually, the bread pudding is super good.

I came here to escape the daily routine of the hotel breakfast buffet only to end up having a meal which was comparable. After walking in, I looked at the croissants which did not look very buttery and flaky (given the high standard set at the Papilotte nothing less would do at this point), so I opted for a Eggel Bagel. The Eggel Bagel is essentially scrambled eggs on a bagel, to this I added a chocolate muffin. The muffin was excellent but the Eggel Bagel had no flavor whatsoever even salt and pepper could not save it. I could have saved the walk and made my own tasteless bagel and scrambled egg sandwich at the hotel. While the food itself did not do a whole lot for me the service is truly outstanding and that's why I gave it an extra star. Even though I did not try it, the sticky bun looked scrumptious.

not too impressed. way too hot inside the restaurant. got an "overstuffed" chicken salad sandwich that was barely any bigger than my husband's regular. small cup of fruit for $4. wouldn't come back :(

Excellent service an unbelievable food. If you ever stop in Savannah you MUST have breakfast/brunch here. The Bernard Street Club (add extra avocado) is delicious! It gets packed, but it is worth the wait for sure!

I came in for breakfast because I heard that they had aMAYzing bread pudding. I'm a sucker for bread pudding. And it WAS very good. But the item that really captured my tastebuds was the breakfast panini. I'm kind of a plain Jane when it comes to food but I'm on vacation so decided to come out of my box a little. This sandwich has a panini oil spread that exploded in your mouth at the first bite. A little tangy..a lot garlic. That combined with the eggs, peppers, salami (yes, salami for breakfast), and Vermont cheddar cheese on panini bread was one of the best breakfast sandwiches that I've ever had! Only one cautionary note..bring your appetite if you decide to try this sandwich. Or share with a friend, as it is DOUBLE the size of a normal breakfast sandwich. It really was a great meal!!

This place is just good. We went twice during our 4 day visit in Savannah. The quality of bread was great, other ingredients like vegetables and fruits were fresh, the service was amazing even though the place was really busy. You might see a long line in front of the bakery, but it won't take that long. The operation system is very organized, so the waiting is pleasant, and worth to wait. You will experience very warm and active morning of southern kitchen in the bakery. That's more than just having a breakfast.

We ordered the Garden Vegetable soup to go and was unpleasantly surprised with the lack of vegetables. Should have been called the Garden Broth instead.

We waited in a line that was going out into the side street. The restaurant is organized and works like a well oiled machine so though the line looks long it moves along quickly, and be sure to know what you want before getting to the counter. The quality of the food was great and surprisingly fresh. Belgian waffle, quiche, eggs Benedict sandwich, and even the scrambled eggs were all done well which can't be an easy task. Every staff member was friendly and even said "we hope you enjoy your visit to Savannah." So yes their are many tourists but I didn't care! I enjoyed my breakfast here. Do not miss this one.
(5)
Jared R.
Wow! Visiting Savannah from Palm Coast, FL and found this place on Yelp. Got here early on Black Friday so we missed the long line out the door that formed by the time we finished our breakfast. Everything we ordered tasted great! The bread pudding was moist and topped with what tasted like a caramelized apple spice glaze; the portion size was enough for 2-3 people.
(5)
Kelli P.
Friendly staff. Clean restaurant. Wide variety of breakfast and lunch options. Lunch is served all day. Their breads and pastries contain no artificial ingredients to maintain freshness. I had the Barnyard Street club. Smoked ham, white turkey, Swiss cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato and cucumbers. On pita. Yummy. They posted their inspection report. 100% A.

Cecily A.
So good!!! Don't let the line out the door sway you to find another place... The line moves fast and the service is quick. Goose Feathers is a counter order/pay restaurant which helps in the fast service. Everything is al a carte, nice because you can custom make your own breakfast. I highly recommend the eggs Benedict with a side of cheese grits!
(5)
Rachel B.
Solid place to grab an economical breakfast! We ate outside and enjoyed the eggetarian, which was basically a croissant, pesto, a poached egg and hollandaise sauce. Yum!! Good service. I can't believe how many people were moving through that place, but it went quick.

I ate here this morning the place was pretty busy i would imagine for the breakfast rush. I enjoyed the bagel and what taste like a homemade cream cheese. Enjoyed the fact they came and got my dishes when i was finished with my meal .

Great fresh and healthy sandwiches, so good we ate our entire sandwich! There's something for everyone on their menu.

Owen H.
How this places has any kind of positive review is beyond me the food is terrible. The sandwich has more bread than anything else more cabbage than meat and everything else that I saw people consume looks like absolute trash. I think the reason why it has decent reviews is the only other lunch thing to eat in this area is a McDonald's. The location and concept has so much potentiol. The execution is so horrid I would rather eat airplane food.

Stopped in Goose Feathers for a quick breakfast before heading out of town. The line was fairly long but it moved quickly. I ordered an eggel bagel (egg and cheese sandwich on a bagel), a side of grits, and a large "special coffee of the day". My total was under $10 which was appreciated. The food came out fast and tasted fresh. The bagel itself didn't have much flavor but it was a "plain" bagel. To my disappointment, my coffee was just a regular coffee and not the special flavored coffee of the day but it was decent (and they were the same price so it didn't really matter). I'd definitely come back here for breakfast the next time I'm in town.

Charlie C.
Awesome brunch spot! Goose Feathers is a small bustling cafe with a nice vibe. Though the line was long, the staff is so proficient and friendly that everything moves along quickly. I had the smoked turkey Reuben on ciabatta with slaw, Swiss and a tasty Dijon sauce. Awesome! I can't wait to try more.
(5)
John B.
I love coffee, like where are the beans from type. Coffee here perhaps better than SBs but probably not your cup if tea if you are a coffee snob (pardon the mixed metaphor). My waffle was good. Plenty of room and selection. You won't be disappointed but likely not ecstatic either.
(3)
Diana M.
This place gets super-crowded. I placed an online breakfast order for take-out. The food was ready in 20 minutes and was really good, particularly the eggs benedict and quiche lorraine. But one item from my order was missing, meaning my kids had to share their breakfast--which caused some drama. The breakfast potatoes were really good. The waffles were ok--kind of soggy, which may be because they were in a styrofoam container while I walked back to the hotel. The prices are very reasonable too. I would definitely return.

Ana R.
We ate here at Goose Feathers a couple of months back - November I think. Unfortunately I was not impressed. I came looking for a blueberry muffin, there was none. I had the cranberry muffin instead. We had several sandwiches and the bread pudding. Everything is just meh. I am giving them 3 stars because I don't want to kill their ratings. The location is cute and is centrally located in historic downtown. Parking is a pain. We paid $20. and parked by Ellis square.

Kate B.
Great little spot for a quick breakfast. Good coffee :) they have a bakery on the premises so all of their bagels and delicious croissants are fresh and ready. Fresh,fast, and just a short walk from the hotels on river street, the perfect spot for vacationers.

Beth L.
When we approached the restaurant, there was quite a line. However, we moved through and placed our orders pretty quickly. The orders were brought to the table in no time, and the food was superb! I had the shrimp and grits and was pleased. My dining partner had the egg croissant and was just as pleased. Don't let the line deter you - the food was delicious!

Jenn S.
I got in at the beginning of the lunch rush, but service was speedy. My sandwich was delivered to my table before I even finished my cup of soup. The waitstaff was exceptionally polite and welcoming. I liked the open, spacious atmosphere. Even though they were busy, it never felt crowded. I was pleasantly surprised at the decent amount of vegetarian options on the lunch menu. I had The Scarborough (yea sprouts!) and it was tasty.

Cathy R.
Stopped in here on a recent trip to Savannah after noticing the place by walking by the day before and also seeing spotting their ad on a local walking map of the city. The staff taking customer orders were very friendly and upbeat. It is difficult to absorb the large menu, so I went with one of the first items listed, the Eggetarian. Yummy. Especially loved the pesto. I went kind of late for breakfast (around 9:30 a.m. on a weekday), so the lines were not long. It did take a bit to get my food, but nothing extraordinary. I would love to see this restaurant in other Southern cities! Cute, clean place with good prices!

Hectic but well run operation. Some of our meal (The bird's nest) was great, the sandwiches so-so. Good pricing but definitley not a place to relax while having a coffee and pastry, as they want you in and out, as indicated by the charging sockets being covered!

Donna V.
Everything that you want a bakery/cafe to be. Service was personal. Food was phenomenal. Had a sandwich with havarti cheese, sprouts, and avocado on delicious soft but not squishy bread, just the thing for lunch. Husband had the gingery chicken sandwich on focaccia bread and pumpkin pie, both perfect. Even though you order at a counter, your food is delivered and you're able to get refills on ice tea, etc. Highly recommend this place, they have a wide menu with sweet/savory options.

Raeden G.
Just ordered delivery to my hotel from here and I am impressed. So much so, that it has compelled me to write my first Yelp review. And I've been awake since 4am traveling in, so that's saying something. I ordered the Barnard Street Club on Sourdough with herb mayo. This sandwich is really good. Bacon is perfectly crisp, vegetables are remarkably fresh, and the herb mayo really sets it off. Delivery was VERY fast. My only complaint is with the soup. I ordered clam chowder expecting thick, cream-based goodness. What I got was a thin, tomato based, basically vegetable soup with clams. So, avoid the clam chowder, go for the sandwich! You won't be disappointed.

Saw a commercial for them for approximately three seconds and based on the name alone decided to take my ten year old sister there. This was after vetting them through yelp and checking their menu. I walked in and was SUPER impressed by literally every aspect of the place. Great style, great service, and most importantly great food! Come here if you have picky eaters or if you are just passing through, amazing!

Michael L.
We stopped at this place returning from Florida to NY. The wife was yelping in the car , so we stopped to try it . As soon as you step in to the place you are handed a menu as you stand in line. My wife ordered the eggs Benedict " Savannah style" they ask you how do you want the eggs cooked " impressive" . They wife said they were great . I ordered the Bernard club and a turkey and Swiss croissant . They were both delicious. They coffee was EXCELLENT. I never liked bread pudding but here it was out of this world. The place was great from food and people were friendly. The reason for the four stars : They need to work on better execution of orders. You order and they give you a number and they bring you border. We received our order and was not complete. I waited for 10 minutes and got up to see what happened to my sandwich. YOU NEED TO TRY THIS PLACE AND DONT FORGET THE COFFEE AND A EXTRA CROISSANT .

Tonyne H.
Friendly, well organized staff, amazing food! The Eggetarian (2 poached eggs, topped with sharp cheddar and pesto on a fresh croissant) simply can't be missed, but if you are more in the mood for lunch get the Salmon BLT! If you're there for breakfast, get the Birds Nest grits to share, a huge portion and cooked perfectly!
(5)
Tina W.
There's always a long line before I can actually enjoy this awesome restaurant. We had the Belgians waffle with strawberry and salmon BLT. Both are delicious and the service is good too.

Ken O.
This place is absolutely amazing! The eggs benedict and eggaterian are a memorable and delightful experience! Their food alone are a reason to travel to savannah but what also makes them stand out from the rest is the speed and efficiency of their service. At any point in time the line stretches out of the door but you find yourself at the ordering counter faster than you can decide which of the mouth-watering dishes to order. The food will then arrive at your table faster than you can bring the coffee from the ordering counter to your table and add sugar. Wow! That is service!

We stopped by for breakfast while vacationing in Savannah and are so glad we did! We came on a weekday, so we didn't have to wait in a long line - but by the time we left, the cafe was pretty full. It's not fancy, but it's cute. You order at a counter, pick up your drinks, and then they bring your food to the table when it's ready. It's very well-run, and we had our food within a few minutes of sitting down. Between my husband and I, we had the iced tea, iced coffee, homemade granola, homemade crossaint and egg sandwich on crossaint. Everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. We noticed customers who seemed to be "regulars" whom the staff were (adorably) interacting with. Nice spot to start the day!

JJ S.
This place is amazing! I'm a meat and potatoes type of guy. When my wife suggested this place on our vacation I was a little sceptical. BIG MISTAKE!!!! The breakfast burrito is the best. Simple but really good. There's a line but you get through quickly. The best thing about it is the owner still runs the register. Do yourself a favor, hit this place when your in Savannah.

Kevin W.
Credit another great find to the Yelp app! We stayed in Savannah overnight and in the morning decided we would grab some breakfast before heading to Florida. I would frequent Goose Feathers anytime I am in Savannah! The line was pretty long when we got there, but that moved quickly. They have many options and I have to say the food was outstanding! The freaking waffles are amazing! I also had the Eggs Benedict-Savannah Style and it was equally as good, the croissant was out of this world. Highly recommend swinging by for breakfast!!!

I was downtown with my aunt early in the morning so we decided to get breakfast. I checked on Yelp. The pictures look delicious so we ended up going here. I ordered the specialty for the day which was shrimp & grits and a beach blanket latte with had white chocolate and coconut flavor. I also ordered I ham and cheese croissant to go. The shrimp & grits were very bland. The shrimp taste like they were just boil. There was no seasoning and the grits for watery. My latte had no flavor. It just taste like coffee and water. However, The ham and cheese croissant that I got to go was delicious that's why they got two stars.

Cool breakfast places is not a thing in Savannah so you'll have to remember this place when you travel there. Lots of healthy options and great desserts, and breads, and wonderful quick service. Croissants to die for! Dont let the long lines scare you- it moves very quickly and efficiently. Great Southern service!!

Genea S.
We ate here twice for breakfast on weekdays while we were in Savannah. I am a creature of habit and don't much care for breakfast foods so I had the gazpacho with a 1/2 baguette. I grew up in spain and this gazpacho was excellent! Chunky and full of veggies. I also had a cappuccino and it was very nice. My husband had eggs benedict on croissant and the second time he had oatmeal with apples and walnuts and a bowl of fruit. He loved all of it. Service was fast (you order in line and then get a seat), everyone was very pleasant and nice, the food was hot and cooked to order. The line was not long but I could tell it would be longer on the weekend.

Lissie C.
I came here for brunch and got the traditional eggs Benedict as well as the strawberry waffles. The eggs Benedict comes on a fresh homemade croissant which is absolutely delicious. This is a nice little breakfast spot, just don't expect light/healthy fare the food is a bit rich and heavy.

Vanessa N.
Great place for Sunday brunch. You will probably have to wait in line for a little bit but it's worth it. The staff are very friendly and aim to serve you quickly. I've ordered the shrimp & grits twice & both times it was great. I've also had the gazpacho and curried rice & edamame salad. It's very conveniently located in DT SAV & a popular spot for tourists.

We for breakfast before leaving town, and wish I would have found it day 1. The line is long but moves quickly. I got the best grits in town and my hub got the special salmon. The hot chocolate is amazing. In the end we got breakfast and some baked goods to go for $25.

Brian M.
They have got.to have somehing going on judgimg by the lines that exists daily. I stopped by for breakfast and the goodies in the bakery case looked delicious. Everything on the menu looked and sounded delicious as well. I opted for coffee and the eggs benedict on a croissant. While neither was bad, I would also not classify them as memorably delicious. The coffee was meh, the ham and eggs were just right and the croissant was both fluffy and flaky just as it should be. So whats holdimg it back? Yuppers the Hollandaise-way too thin and runny for my tastse and really tasteless unfortunately. It looked and tasted like bland yellow Half&Half. That being said, I will return, at least to check out the bakery case's goodies.

Great experience here. There are lots of different choices and the prices are very reasonable for it all. My husband and I had bagels with lox and cream cheese and it was good. We also took some croissants home and a pumpkin whoopie pie. The pumpkin whoopie pie was out of this world. The filling was delicious and the pie was extremely moist with a great pumpkin flavor. Would be a regular if it were closer.

Colin K.
We went twice and the experience was great both times. At first, waiting in a line out the door is off putting. But they are efficient and after ordering, your food is out very quickly. Between the two visits, we had a bacon egg and cheese croissant, bacon egg and cheese bagel, breakfast panini, grits with cheese, pecan pie and the bread pudding. All of the items were outstanding, but the breakfast panini and bread pudding really stood out. Also, the flavored coffee of the day is scrumptious. We had caramel cream the first day and raspberry mocha the next. The caramel cream was certainly the best, but the raspberry was good too. All in all they're very friendly, the operation runs smoothly, the prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. If you go, it's worth the wait.

Craving bagels and we were in a rush so I grabbed some breakfast sandwiches to go. The guy (manager) taking my order was downright strange and when he messed up my order he got relegated to making coffee. The bagels themselves weren't terrible, but I wish they had cheese bagels. There was no american cheese so I got swiss and the wife got cheddar. Ham, egg and swiss on a bagel turned out fantastic. Not bad for a down south bagel I guess!

Easy place for breakfast. Nice decor and character. Food is quick and simple. The sandwiches were nice, but the quiche was just reheated in a microwave which didn't taste that good.

Omar S.
Surprisingly good, inexpensive, and local. We stopped here two times for breakfast on a recent visit to the Historic District. Friendly staff, fast service, reasonable prices. Hot dishes were generous (one dish is enough for two people with moderate appetites to split), iced coffee and espresso were decent, orange juice wasn't pulpy. Pecan pie was very good (not oversweet or overly set). Mini whoopie pie is the right size for a taste (a whole one is way too much sugar). Everything was fresh and good. Only complaint would be the lack of hot sauce / spice for the egg-based dishes. Definitely recommended.
(5)
Cristian B.
Croissants. Wow. Delicious. Nice atmosphere, friendly workers, fast service, AND really good food. I had the egg croissant with spinach and yikes.... Don't think I've ever had a croissant this good. It was so buttery, soft, and flakey. Perfect portions and balances flavors.

Great Place! We had the Eggetarian, a bowl of delicious homemade grits and a spinach and feta croissant. Breakfast all day! Plus they are dog friendly on the patio. Staff was extremely helpful.

Could use some competition in the area. The seating arrangement is very unclear at Goose Feathers-- typically in casual deli restaurants like this, patrons can choose their own seat. So, when we entered, I had my daughter who was suffering from a migraine while traveling with us sit down at a table immediately with plans to order for her. I kid you not she was asked to stand up as she had not ordered yet. We certainly would've left if it hadn't been for needing to feed our hungry family. Their policy, regardless of on par food, reflects poor manners and misinformation.

They do their best though... menus given out so you can hit the order station prepared, and then you move on to a different station to pay... pretty efficient system but they still don't have enough tables to handle the throughput of customers! We were visiting from out of town and saw the place while wandering the night before. Compared to the offerings at our hotel, the "Andaz," this place was a dream come true and by comparison cheap as dirt for Heavenly bites. Both my partner and I ordered variations on Eggs Benedict on a croissant an "Eggetarian" and a straight Eggs Benedict. Mine (the Eggetarian) was absolutely perfect and cooked just right, eggs nice and runniy poached... my partner's not so much. Gordon Ramsey would have gone ape! "It's the customer's privilege to break their egg! " Hers, alas, were done hard... overcooked.. but STIll too yummy to bother sending back Would definitely recommend and do again and again. Just slather me in Hollandaise and call me Momma!

Delicious, quick and efficient! What more could you want in a breakfast place. I had the daily special, a Forsyth, it was a delicious egg with cheese, onions and peppers on a croissant. It was perfect! My husband enjoyed the sandwich he ordered as well. Very good coffee. Warm and inviting atmosphere.

This place is to die for. I went to visit Savannah for the second time and arrived there just in time for breakfast. I definitely recommend the Birds Nest. I'm not a fan of grits at all but man oh man do they make the best grits with a generous amount of cheese. I also recommend the breakfast panini and peach mini whoopie. The atmosphere is very cozy as well.

Great spot to get breakfast. Line of people to get in but moves fast. Location right off Ellis Square is perfect. Lovely space with tables outside. Service was excellent and everyone was so nice.

Stopped here during a visit from New Orleans. There is good reason that the locals eat here. The food is great, and inexpensive. My buddy ordered the Eggetarian and I ordered the Birds Nest and Belgian waffle with syrup and strawberries. The waffles were golden brown with a nice crispness to the outside, the strawberries were fresh. My poached eggs were perfect. The grits were light and not oversalted, which really let the flavor of the cheese come through. My friend's Eggtarian was amazingly good. I would definitely recommend this eatery. I am surprised at how affordable the prices were given the quality of the food. I wish they would open up a location in New Orleans. I would be a frequent patron.

Our FAVorite breakfast place! Fantastic breakfast sandwich with pesto, cinnamon buns and sticky buns (must arrive early to snag one of those), grits, etc. I also love to grab a cup of hot cocoa to walk around with post breakfast. Wait can be long, but worth the wait!

On our roadtrip through the South I was insistent we stop in Savannah. With only one hour to spend, our condensed tour of this quaint little town led us to Goose Feathers, where we figured we could get a quick lunch and dine on the sidewalk. After ordering at the counter, we were promptly brought a ham sandwich for the bf and a spinach salad, add salmon, for me. Both our meals were pretty straight forward and tasty. My salad ($5) plus salmon ($3) was quite the steal, given that it was a good portion of salmon. We both agreed that $16 for lunch for two people, plus great service, and a pretty sidewalk setting made for a nice meal. I'd recommend Goose Feathers to anyone looking for a quick bite in Savannah.

Wonderful restaurant. My sister and I enjoyed our first visit so much, we came back the next day. Don't worry about the line out the door. The line moves fast and the staff are very good at clearing tables and ensuring there is a seat for you after you order your food. The apple and ham croissants are fabulous. The coffee, mocha, and cappuccino are served hot and tasted very good. We also had the oatmeal, egg croissant sandwich with ham/spinach and the club sandwich. All very delicious. The service is fantastic and the staff attentive.

great place to grab a quick bite to eat. the pastries all looked and smelled fantastic. I chose the breakfast burrito special which was great! it was a busy spot with a long line but the staff was quick to turn around tables. The place was very clean, staff was very friendly, food was great. highly recommended!

Hansje G.
We were greeted at the door with menus. After a little bit of confusion we figured out how to order. The cappuccino was excellent. The "birds nest" was a little bland and the grits were a little soupy. Other then that everything was great.

The first morning in Savannah we awoke starving and wanting breakfast. We were afraid that it was too late to order breakfast but we were right on time! Service was impeccable let me say first off. From order taking to bussers clearing plates, I was impressed. I've been to fine dining establishments were the service was less attentive and completely lacking. Definitely reminded me I was in the south. Everyone was so polite and genuinely nice. I digress though, let's get to the food! I ordered a croissant breakfast sandwich and truth be told I can't remember anything else. I know my boyfriend was eating but I was so wrapped up in this fluffy, tasty breakfast that I just blanked out. The croissant was perfectly buttery and flaky. Not crumbling apart or dry at all. My fingertips just melted right into the bread. The eggs were well seasoned and the cheese and bacon just made me happy! Perfect way to start the day!

A bit of a long wait but staff keep a close eye on the line, distribute menus and answer questions so that by the time you are at the counter to order you have a solid idea of what you want. Counter staff very friendly and helpful, no sour faces or fake smiles here. Food is beyond delicious, all egg options were amazing, grits is solid and the fruit and berries were beautiful and fresh. They do have some gluten-free options, including gf bagels and toast, which was a big plus for us. Highly recommend, esp if you snag a seat outside in nice weather or inside by the window if its raining. This was an unexpected huge hit with the whole family.

On my way to Papillote, I saw a line around the corner, and I had to stop by. The Ellis Square location and the sheer convenience of variety makes Goose Feather's a popular destination for folks. We tried the Shrimp and Grits, Bird's Nest (poached eggs in grits with cheese and salsa), and a Turkey and Cheese Croissant. Nothing was that great, honestly, but it wasn't that bad either. I advise you to avoid the stuffed croissants as they are premade and oily. The coffee wasn't anything special. If you're a tourist (as I was), this place is good to visit if you are looking for reasonably priced items that are good for on-the-go.

Came here for breakfast at the tip of fellow Yelper! Karley :) Parking was easy since it was a Monday and not yet lunch time. SO and I decided on a round of OJ's, a bowl of grits, ham, a sausage egg and cheese croissant and I had the eggs benedict. O...M...G... those eggs benedict were amazing! It is so hard to find a place that can do poached eggs right! The croissant was huge! The portions were very generous (seriously, you can share the bowl of grits between 2 people!). The service was so nice and friendly, we never felt like we were being rushed out. It was such a nice way to start our day at the beach. the prices were great too, you can share a plate or have one all to yourself and your wallet would barely notice. I can't wait to go back.

Ordered a tomato,basil, onion and avocado quiche. It was amazing and low priced for the quality. The cappuccino that I ordered was okay. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and the employees were exceptionally nice and attentive. If I pass by Savannah I will be visiting again.

The place was crowded and the line was kind of long, but the food was good. We had the spinach & feta quiche which was good, and the Turkey Reuben. The Reuben was good, it had a different style which was creative, but it had a bit too much oil. It wasn't too bad just a bit. The bread also had too many little herbs that got stuck to my fingers. The Eggetarian Sandwich was too squishy and the flavor was a bit bland, it just tasted like pesto.

Stella M.
Great coffee (Georgia pecan coffee) and quick breakfast options. Prices are similar to Einstein's or your typical bagel shop. Great deals if you like small orders like me, I ordered two poached eggs and it came with toast and preserves- less than $4. Right by a lot of great sights downtown too. I highly recommend it for a quick and not so heavy bite to eat. You can save money and room for a heavier meal later ;)

Ashleigh L.
I'm giving this place 4 stars because my boyfriend loved it. On my own, I'd give it 3 stars. I had the Eggetarian with cheese grits which were all fine, but nothing to write home about. The cheese on the grits was not melted and I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to get any flavor out of the grits. The Eggetarian was fine, but a little bland. My boyfriend had the Eggs Benedict, which he raved about. He also got the oven roasted potatoes on the side, and they were phenomenal. By far the best thing I ate while there. I'd probably go back, but more to please my boyfriend and get a decent meal at a cheap price. Also, don't let the line discourage you if you do choose to go - it goes quickly and there's a surprising amount of seating inside.

The decaf coffee is SO good here! But don't ask for iced coffee, it's way watered down. You get free refills, which is always a plus. Service was very friendly and welcoming. Since we were here during the summer, there wasn't a long line. Giving a lower rating for a few reasons: 1) I couldn't remember which place this was. If it was super memorable, I'd be able to write a review now. My memory doesn't suck that much lol. 2) The bread pudding was a huge disappointment. Granted, we took it to go, since it was too early to have bread pudding. Still, it was not very palatable. I can eat bread pudding that's hot or cold, I'm not picky. This just wasn't that appetizing. 3) Eggs were ok, but nothing special. The roasted potatoes were good, but not very memorable either. Cute concept, cute place, super nice staff. But the food I received was just ok. Prices were fair, though!

Oh, the atmosphere is wonderful, relaxing, sunny, and warm. The people here are great, very welcoming! The food Is delicious. I had the "birds nest", a wonderful bowl of perfectly cooked grits, poached eggs with homemade salsa and the most delectable white cheddar cheese. I was going to take a picture but I ate it up! You will not go wrong coming here!!!!

Douglas W.
I've been a couple times now. The coffee is average to not very good. They didn't know what Swiss water processing was. I tried a croissant and it was doughy and greasy and just plain awful. It's a nice looking place and everyone there is completely invested in your experience but I don't think there is anyone there that knows a great deal about food. The taste level is really low. It's convenient to downtown and there aren't a lot of choices so we ended up there again and now I remember why I forgot it in the first place.

Do I wanna go again? No thank you. Long line, unusual buns that they call a croissant. even the espresso was just barely palatable... We left, threw our food away and went somewhere else.

Best breakfast place in Savannah. I'm not a foodie by any stretch (I eat to live, not live to eat), but this place's food is something special. They make some of the best egg croissants I've ever had. I've been there about 6 times now and every time it's been great. I was there 3 days ago and had a delicious egg croissant with spinach and it couldn't have been any better. Great staff, beautiful interior, and outdoor tables as well. Located very close to the shops and restaurants of Market Square, Goose Feathers is also in walking distance to a lot of other nice areas. Being in the busier part of town though, parking is a little harder to come by (although parking in Savannah really is cheap when you find it), but that shouldn't deter you much. If you want a more local residential breakfast experience you might try Clary's. Their food is a little bit of a step down, but the place is wonderful and worth a stop for sure at some point. Bottom line, Goose Feathers is easily the place I recommend to folks looking for a great casual breakfast without any fuss. If you're staying along Bay or River street, definitely this is the place. But even if you're a little further away, it's worth the trip.

Nicole W.
This place was worth the wait in line! The eggs benedict were perfect! the hollandaise sauce was creamy, the ham was salty and thinly sliced so it was overpowering. I added 2 slices of tomato for some color and all of that in between a buttery flakey croissant. Mmmm brunch doesnt get better than that. It was a decento protion but I had a cup of fresh fruit and it was a perfect meal. The coffee was ok, but I went for the food not the coffee.
(5)
Patty W.
Is there a wait? Most likely yes. Is it worth it? Yes! Even though the line looks like it will take forever, it doesn't. The staff moves at a fast pace and is pretty quick about getting the orders out. Plus, you can browse through the menu and decide on what you want before ordering. There is also an option of ordering online or calling ahead for the dreadful waiters. We were given 2 huge croissant sandwiches stuffed with eggs, sausage, and cheese. They were buttery good. The bread pudding has its originality. It had a nice sweet texture to it. I am going to try the hot chocolate if I make an appearance again. Probably a couple more pastries too ;)

Annie L.
The carribean clam chowder was delicious. It was perfectly creamy and loaded with veggies. The bread served with the soup was perfect, but I wished they gave a bigger helping of bread because I ran out pretty quickly! I also tried their club sandwich. I was pleasantly surprised with lean pieces of bacon (is that possible?) that was still crispy and delicious. The sandwich was pretty large. I also ordered the baked sweet potato, which had a "holiday" feel to it. 1 club sandwich + 1 cup of soup + 1 baked sweet potato = $12. Don't be scared by the line that may be out the door...the line moves very quickly. They also hand out menus when you are waiting in line. Very efficient and quick service!

Stopped for lunch at 12:30 and waited in line out to sidewalk 10 minutes. Counter staff was efficient, courteous and helpful. Chicken curry soup very tasty but lacked chicken. Bread fresh. Italian panini sandwich quite nice. Coffee good and served in a lovely GF mug. Con: No wireless connectivity...c'mon. ..it is 2015!!!

Goose Feathers was an impulse stop as we had just left our tour trolley and was in need of immediate roughage. My bf had the map and continued to pick eateries which requires a 4 or 5 block hike and so I simply Yelped the closet establishment and this was it. It was typical fast cafe lunch food, which I have an appreciation for - beats greasy fast food. I had a potato soup and quiche, soup was lovely, quiche was fairly bland but edible. Bf had a sandwich (I don't remember what was in it, but he wasn't overly enthused by it), and a vegetable and ham soup, which was the most delicious thing of everything we ordered. I saw a lot of students using this place and appreciated how local it was from the main downtown area. Probably would go back there it was I in Savannah because there are just so many options to eat out, but this place is ok for eating on the run.

Lillian E.
I was there on a Sunday and the line was out the door! We waited for about 20 minutes and it was definitely worth the wait. I got the eggs Benedict (which they serve "savannah style" on a croissant) and my boyfriend had the birds nest. They were both FANTASTIC. We shared a cinnamon bun as well, so at the end we were stuffed but content. Great food and great atmosphere. If there's a line, wait in it---it's well worth it!

I can assure you that with a last name like Eaton, I am not only an expert in dinner, but breakfast also, so trust me when I recommend a restaurant. Goose feathers gets a great recommendation from this food lover! We stopped in for breakfast, 4 adults and two children. The line was a little long, but that's expected in a restaurant that is great. The fresh baked pastries were spot on, and were served immediately at the counter. Since I had two trays to bring to my table the cashier asked if I need help. Very nice! The breakfast burrito I ordered was delightful! Eggs, turkey sausage, and spinach, with a great house made salsa over top. You can build your own burrito. Te value was exceptional to feed 6 people. The only negative is this: get all you may need off the bat, because if you think you may want something else, (my son wanted some sliced fresh fruit after we already ordered) you will need to wait in the long line again.

As you talk up the street you first notice a line extending out the doors. It is normal but your wait won't be long while you look at all the delicious items on their menu. The bread pudding is by far the best in the world. My wife have the black bean burrito, it was so fresh and flavorful!

We ate here a few times for breakfast, they were very friendly and the location was pretty good. I would give them 3.5 stars if I could. Food was good, not great, the special coffee was good but the regular was just so-so. Only thing I didn't get is that they wanted to take your tray the second your food was delivered. You were welcome to eat and drink your coffee, they weren't rushing you out, but for whatever reason they wanted the trays the second we were done with them, just kind of strange. If you're by the square and looking for a breakfast spot, I would certainly give them a shot. It was also nice that they had some tables out front where you could sit if you wanted to people watch/watch the square.

Fast, quality food. The seating outside is covered, so dining in or out is good in most any weather. I had a basic bacon/egg/cheese breakfast sandwich in a croissant and it was great. My boyfriend ordered the birds nest and the grits were pretty runny for our liking. Great service.

Do you have any idea how amazing it feels to go into a restaurant and see words like "Gluten-free" and "organic" on a restaurant menu? As a health food nut, there is nothing I loathe more than showing up somewhere with maybe one vegetarian option, something that came out of a freezer bag, et cetera. At Goose Feathers, the menu is absolutely unbelievably good. Everything come made-to-order and is fresh and homemade. They have something for everybody. The service is exceptional, as well. Our group of six was doted on by the staff, which is highly unusual in a casual dining atmosphere. We will definitely be back again and again!

Simple cafe with great food and great coffee. We got the eggs Benedict Savannah Style. It was simple but really yummy, especially the home made croissant it was on. I also bought the carrot, walnut breakfast bread with the intent to just try it and ended up eating the entire thing!!!

I spotted the Goose Feather Cafe after I carefully solicited directions from the hotel staff concerning the location of a drug store, closely examined the courtesy map, cleverly left the map at the hotel, and conscientiously started my trip by turning left, instead of right, at the hotel door. Immediately I was lost. I passed the Goose Feather Cafe several times and from different directions. I noted the charming cafe chairs, made of wood (Homage to Gebrüder Thonet, pioneer of bentwood furniture and progenitor of modern notions of the cafe chair? Could be...) and shaded under a green awning fronting tall glass windows and thought, "Say, that looks like a French cafe. I bet they have breakfast!" Eventually I did locate CVS. I quickly failed to find my items, met my wife, and resumed searching for this cafe. "I don't know what it's called. It has cafe chairs out front and a green awning. It is probably a cafe and might serve breakfast. You can't miss it." I am glad we didn't miss it! This was a Thursday morning. There were only a few patrons. The extensive menu covers a fabulous variety of breakfast and lunch items, with an emphasis on French food and coffee. I had a double espresso and a fruit bowl on the first visit, and noticed that the espresso was excellent and the fruit was fresh and cut that morning. We sat at the charming wooden chairs in the shade of the awning and were extremely happy. By Saturday we knew it was only a two minute walk from our hotel. We returned with our friends. Whoa! It turns out that this place is famous! A line stretched out the doors and well down the sidewalk. We waited, and twenty minutes later were seated and enjoying a wonderful breakfast. You can't go wrong, here! Everything is fresh. Everything is real. I haven't had a croissant so fluffy and fresh and buttery since Paris in 2005. The prices are reasonable. Beware that the rest of Savannah already knows this, and the tourists apparently all read Yelp. Visit on a weekday or arrive early and expect to wait.

Very good casual breakfast. We ate here three times during our trip. The food was all good. The owner is on site and actively involved in the prep and delivery of your food. My favorite was some a sandwich called the Eggetarian except I had them add bacon. It was over the top. There can be a bit of a line because their ordering process is not very efficient. But it's worth the wait!

Jamie B.
Stopped by this popular spot for brunch. The line gets long but don't be deterred as it moves fast. They have a small troop of busboys that keep the tables clean. You can really make your own meal here. I had an apple cinnamon oatmeal, bagel, oj, and coffee. Order at the counter and they deliver. It's a comfortable, casual place. Staff is friendly for the most part. Nobody really checked in to see if I was happy but maybe that's just not their thing. House newspapers are available too.

Brunch was dreamy~ my family of 7 had 3 waffles (crispy and covered with strawberries and a generous heap of whipped cream), Eggs Benedict (incredible), Salmon Quiche (a little small but delectable), coffee (could be stronger), and my new favorite Eggetarian. Casual atmosphere, great, friendly service. Can't wait to go back !

Debra C.
Long line justifies grabbing a menu ahead of time. Poached eggs were cooked perfectly and the whole wheat bagel was almost NY-like. The Barnard sandwich was loaded with fresh ingredients... but bread was cold so next time I'd ask for it warmed (yea, I'm that picky :).

Naomi K.
Busy morning venue with cute patio tables for street watching. Located in the heart of downtown, a block away from the plaza, walking distance to the waterfront. Very efficient service, line moves quickly just grab a menu when you come in and know what you want by the time you get to the counter. They have such a variety to choose from it was hard to narrow it down. The croissant breakfast sandwich was good but their Yaourt Bio Au Miel (yogurt with honey), Belgium waffles, eggs Benedict, whoopie pies, quiches looks just as inciting. Just need to go back and try them out!
(4)
Sam M.
Walking up to the cafe and seeing a line out the door and down the block was equally as exciting and disappointing. The line was about 10 minutes long and at the end we placed our order. We had the breakfast burrito which was good, but a little bit too wet and doughy. The egg croissant was good as well, but neither dish was exceptional. Good, not great. The highlight was the iced peanut butter mocha, which was absolutely awesome.
(4)
Steph M.
We liked this place a lot because of the food, the service, the price and the fact that they are pet friendly! But be prepared to stand in line for a while if you go there in the morning but once you ordered they get the food to you very quickly. Amazingly, the staff was in a great mood and super friendly despite the cafe being so busy.

Alexandra P.
I had the eggs Benedict - Savannah style, which comes with ham and on a croissant, it was good, satisfying. But the four stars comes in because the frozen mocha is the best I ever had and there wasn't a huge line or wait like most brunch places in the area.

Goose Feathers...you would be the death of me if you were located in Chicago (due to morbid obesity from eating here all the time!). This place had great review so my friend and I checked it out for breakfast while we were in Savannah and we were not disappointed! You have to wait in line to order first before you get seated so: A. you already have some of your food (already made pastries) and B. the drinks and food come out faster C. this process runs really smoothly We ordered: 1. Belgian Waffle w/ syrup & butter (all the way which comes with: w/ fresh fruit & whipped cream and bananas & pecans)- This waffle was absolutely delicious. Nothing wrong about it. The vanilla sorbet was the perfect touch with the waffle and whipped cream. Amazing and a must try. 2. Bread Pudding- OMG!!!!!! this was the best masterpiece ever created. It was so perfect. The perfect touch of sweetness for the morning without being overly sweet. Everyone was staring at it with envy and asked us what it was (while they ordered their own!) 3. Cream cheese croissant- pretty much tasted like the same croissants like the ones at Starbucks. The croissant was soft and flaky and the cream cheese was rich: just the way I like it. 4. Veggie Panini (come with ancient red sweet pepper, organic spinach, mushrooms and feta with pesto and our special roasted garlic oil on ciabatta bread and a pickle on the side)-great panini sandwich. The bread was not like an ordinary panini bread, but I did not mind. Overall the red sweet pepper was great with the touch of everything else. Great for vegetarians. 5. Mini woopie- I did not try this so I can't say. My friend ate it and I was overly stuffed. 6. French vanilla latte: great but I wish I had whipped cream on it. I should have asked 7. Vanilla Mocha: my friend had it and she said it was great. She had it with whipped cream. Yes we are pigs and glad that we ordered all that we did. If I EVER go back to Savannah I would definitely go back to Goose Feathers. This place is above and beyond. The customer service is top notch and everyone is just so sweet.

This place has everything you can think of for breakfast. When I first came in my eyes were glued to the croissants. But then I got distracted by the omelets. What to do? I can't decide. So I got it all. The place has lots of tables, so don't worry about waiting to long for a table although the line to order may be a bit discouraging. Luckily, the service is quick and friendly. So the tables turnaround fairly quickly. Why-oh-why is there not a place like this in Montgomery?

We were in Savannah only two nights, we ate breakfast here twice!!! Yes it's THAT GOOD! Besides the perfectly cooked breakfast, they are very friendly and accommodated my grandsons very serious gluten intolerance to the point of slicing his gluten free bagel with a special knife that was not used on regular bagels. There is something for everyone here...the grits were good, the Rosemary potatoes amazing, crispy bacon and poached eggs perfect! House made croissants were delicious, sweet and savory! There was a line out the door both times BUT do NOT leave, the line goes so fast...they have this cafe down to a science, they get you in, feed you awesome food and you get you out quickly so if you only have an hour for lunch no problem! We'll be back!

GREAT place to eat breakfast! Eggs were cooked perfectly, coffee was good and service was excellent. We went on a Monday morning, and there wasn't anyone in line. The pastries looked amazing, but we all ordered egg & cheese crossaints. This was the best breakfast we had in Savannah!! Will definitely eat here again next time we visit Savannah!

I love the Express Cafe. Loved it in 2009 when I managed to go visit for three meals in just three days (unusual for this "try a little of everything" foodie when on an out-of-town trip). And I was no less in love on my second visit to Savannah a year later. The menu is a delightful mix of breakfast foods (best quiches anywhere, customizable 'eggel bagels', Belgian waffles topped with fruit and frozen yogurt) and cafe noshes (freshly baked muffins and desserts, hot sammies like paninis, and deli-style stuff on a variety of breads and croissants). I've had a variety of stuff here and haven't been disappointed with anything. You order at the counter and then scrounge for a table, which can involve a bit of a wait during peak hours when they're super-busy. But even since my visit last year, I've seen improvements to efficiency -- like fancy new menus and new cash registers where you can verify what you've ordered. Actually, they have signs up that proudly announce the arrival of franchise opportunities. So I can only keep my fingers crossed that the Triangle will be lucky enough to see one!

We arrived at Goose Feathers on Saturday morning at about 9:30am, the restaurant wasn't full but it was busy. We walked up and were overwhelmed with the menu and now looking back wish we were able to have tried more! The baked goods looked delicious! The owner was taking orders and she was very pleasant, as was the rest of the staff. The restaurant was very clean, had a great vibrance and feel.

Yum! Don't be intimidated by the line - it was really long when we arrived but only took about 10 minutes to get through. Huge menu with lots of tasty choices, and really good food! Gluten-free bread is available, even though it's not listed on the menu. I loved my breakfast of quiche, grits (plain but good), and pecan pie (ain't no shame). The highlight was the pecan pie ... probably one of the best slices I've ever had.

Cute cafe with good food. You place your order and pay at the counter. Then seat yourself and they bring you your meal. Very open airy clean seating area...really nice staff. Lots of fresh bakery items available - bagels, donuts, croissant variations, pies and cakes. Had the eggs benedict which is served Savannah style which means its served on a fresh buttery croissant....OMG! Yeah I can get wit this :)...the featured coffee was peppermint mocha...yum...and the waffle...yum again. This is my new fav spot. I can not wait to work my way thru their menu :D

Goose feathers is really good! It's a unique spot in Savannah and isn't totally sit-down and you can get things to go. Everything I've had there has been good, and the cheese grits are top notch. Definitely recommend it for a quicker breakfast spot!

Stopped here for breakfast since it was near my hotel and I was going to need to check out soon...fortunately for me it turned out to be one of my best stops in Savannah! I ordered an eggle bagel which was very good. My husband ordered the spinach and feta quiche and it was amazing...I was jealous. The charming cafe atmosphere added to the experience. As we were getting ready to go, we realized that we had not yet had pecan pie while in Georgia and ordered a slice to go. We took it down to the River Walk and enjoyed it there. It was great - not too sweet - and the perfect way to end our trip to Savannah.

Fabulous food, service and prices. We loved our selection: quiche, sweet potatoes, bacon, fresh fruit, fresh lemonade, pecan pie and bread pudding.

We were starved and I had heard good things about this place. I had a cup of gazpacho and a smoked turkey reuben. I don't know if it was because I was starved, but my meal was delicious. The gazpacho was chunky and flavorful. Had a nice, subtle kick to it. The sandwich was made with a rosemary foccacia bread, cabbage and a buttery tasting sauce, instead of the usual reuben dressing. It was an interesting change. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. It is a good thing I don't live near this place. I would be eating there all the time and weigh about two bills.

I thought this place was okay... I tried their Breakfast Croissant Sandwich, which was pretty good. Their Stuffed Croissant was also okay. Both croissant sandwiches were buttery and definitely fill you up in the morning. People seemed to really like the Bread Pudding, but I just found this to be alright. Overall, I wasn't terribly impressed with this spot. I think it's a decent spot to visit if you're in the area or if you want something quick and casual. The service was very nice and attentive, even though you do order at the counter.

I got goosed eggs at Goose Feathers... Just an alright place that probably is better for a quick refreshment, coffee or tea; but not so great for the food. Food wise I was disappointed except for the croissant sandwich. Decor is a cheap replica of a french cafe; black and white tiles, french posters on the wall; and some really horrific chandeliers/lamps. On the other hand, the staff was friendly and welcoming. PS: if I come back, it would be for the sorbet Ice Cream; it was great!

Deborah K.
Pretty good breakfast place in Savannah. Bread pudding was the best but get there early as there seems to always be a line out the door, but generally worth the wait.

Elexa B.
Great service. There was always someone there to take a dirty plate or make sure that you had all of your food from the counter. Quiche Lorraine was good but I wished my croissant had been toasted but I guess it's my bad because I didn't ask? A little girl...owner's daughter? was working the counter and it was really cute she knew exactly what she was doing and filled up our iced teas before we left to stroll around. You could see a lot of local business men in suits ate here so you know it's good if the locals like it. Quick place to take it to go or sit outside at their little tables. We even parked RIGHT in front of it on the street and walked to two steps up to the front door.

Excellent lunch stop! I ordered The Oglethorpe: Vermont cheddar, tomatoes, fresh spinach, purple onions, red cabbage, cucumbers and sprouts on multigrain bread. I had mustard instead of mayo. Was a tasty sandwich and I enjoyed the atmosphere and staff.

Kerry C.
We just stopped in between our carriage ride and shopping. It took me a long time to make up my mind because they had a number of great sandwich options. In the end, I got the Scarborough, a vegetarian sandwich with avocado and sprouts. It took them awhile to bring my order to me, but the busser noticed that I had been waiting and took it upon himself to check on my food, before I even asked. The sandwich insides was good and fresh, but the bread was way too crusty. My friend got a slice of pecan pie and was extremely underwhelmed. Overall, it was quick and a fine experience. I'd like to come back for brunch another time.

Decent. Not great, not bad. Had two egg dishes on croissants. The seasonal Peppermint mocha coffee was quite good.

I came here for one reason: BREAD PUDDING. When I read a review that said they used croissants and baguettes, I was hooked. I was not disappointed. It was moist, with an apricot jam inside. YUMMO. I also forced myself into brie with a baguette. The baguette was SO FRESH, though when they asked if I wanted it heated, I kind of assumed the brie would be more melted than it was. Oh well, it was still very nice. The line was a bit long, but service was friendly, and they seem to have it down to a science. There were probably 10 people ahead of us, and we only waited a bit over 5 minutes to order. Not bad I would say! Overall a good experience, PLENTY of room inside to sit and chat.

Nathan J.
I know this place gets a lot of great reviews, which is why I went. I just like great food and happy to pay whatever for it if it's good. For $13 I came away with a variation on what Eggs Benedict usually is (it's served inside a croissant), a Latte, and an 8oz OJ, so not expensive. Unfortunately the coffee was terrible - incredibly weak, more like coffee flavored water, and to be honest tasted like filter coffee which I find revolting at the best of times. Eggs Benedict - mine unfortunately had a hunk of shell in it, and once that stuff gets in your teeth you just have to grin and crunch your way through it. Taste was ok but not amazing Eggs Benedict and the croissant is not the light, buttery texture it should have been. I hate giving negative reviews because this is someone's business and their livelihood after all, but I wouldn't rate this place nor go back.

Excellent breakfast of Eggs Benedict and spinach quiche. Even had a good selection on the menu for kids. The atmosphere was charming and although there was a line, service was quick.

Nicole B.
This was the most disgusting breakfast I've had in awhile. I'm pretty sure the sausage, egg, and cheese croissant would've tasted the same if I had purchased it at a nasty gas station. I almost got sick while walking out of the restaurant. I understand that it's an express cafe, but the quality of the food should NOT be that poor. The latte was basically black gross coffee, no foam on the top. The grits were bland and a tad bit watery. I could see a worker eating something out of a box in the kitchen. If you want a delicious breakfast, steer clear from this place. Savannah has much better to offer.

Absolutely wonderful! It was busy but there was plenty of seating and a very attentive staff. They really keep the line moving but they don't rush you out. The food was delicious and hot. I will be going back!!
Fresh, fast and hot. Something for everyone - meaters and vegers. A little noisy and busy, and a bit too warm on the premises...owing to line out the front door. But worthwhile for the food and service. ** Breakfast served all day long**

Tod K.
What a fantastic place, and so cheap! Goose Feather's has it all: a cute, French bistro vibe, warm and friendly (not to mention fast) service, and--most importantly--perfectly prepared, awesome food. And affordable: this place is cheaper than chain breakfast restaurants (one of the friendly staff members mentioned that she can feed her family of five cheaper here than at Waffle House!), but the food is anything but "chain." I had a perfectly poached egg with thick artisan wheat toast, a bowl of super creamy grits with tangy white cheddar cheese, and yummy roasted potatoes. Jason had a delicious eggs benedict, served on a fresh-baked croissant with amazing hollandaise and a pan-seared slice of ham. Everything was excellent. If you want breakfast in Savannah, there's really no other place to go!
(5)
Stacey W.
Byfar the best damn waffle I've ever had. Ever. The prices are fair, and the location can't be beat! A short walk from downtown hotels, so you're able to stumble there after a long night of getting acquainted with Savannah. The line was long, but moved quickly. My favorite part was that the owner herself served us! (I know because I looked up the website.)

Julie R.
If you are in the historic district and need a quick breakfast or lunch, try this place out. We walked over here for breakfast one morning. The cafe is really cute. Probably a mix of locals and tourists. We had a great quiche, bagel/cc and gazpacho. Prices were very cheap compared to eating at the hotel. Ample seating inside and a few tables outside. Lo'ts of staff moved the line alone quickly.

Joel T.
This place was packed during lunch time, but our food came out very quickly. My Italian panini was tasty and they also serve breakfast options into the afternoon. This is an excellent eatery for a casual lunch when exploring Savannah.

Bryan B.
I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! I've been there 3 times (would go there more if I lived closer) and each time I thought it was fantastic. The staff is polite and the food excellent. My only problem is that it gets very crowded and it can tough to find a table. 2 out of my 3 trips, we had to wait (after getting our food) to be able to sit down. But, hey, that's means they're popular, I guess. I don't know if it's possible for them to expand or add additional seating, but that's my only complaint and I didn't even take off a star for it...guess you can say I'm a fan!
(5)
Ellie B.
This place was pretty disappointing. I ordered the eggs benedict and the croissant was good, but that Hollandaise, oof. Maybe from a packet? It really ruined the whole sandwich. My husband got a pumpkin spice latte and it came with a gigantic pile of whipped cream on top (he had no clue otherwise he would have nixed it). Once he got that off of it the coffee was really bland. The radio/music they were piping in made me want to stab my ear drums.

This place is awesome for a quick and delicious lunch! Plus affordable. I had the roasted red pepper flatbread sandwich, and my husband had the eggs Benedict. Both were amazingly good! Pass panera bread and go here! You will be glad you did. Oh yeah and the service was perfect and friendly.

My husband, friend and I were in Savannah for the day and decided to have breakfast at Goose Feathers based on all the good Yelp reviews. We were not disappointed! We all shared a croissant, two quiches (spinach/feta and tomato/onion/basil/avocado-my favorite one), which were excellent. I love quiche and almost always order when it's on the menu, I can honestly say that this is the best restaurant quiche I've ever had. We also had the oatmeal with bananas and maple syrup, very delicious. I would have tried more on the menu but we were waiting for a lunch reservation in a couple of hours. I definitely recommend this place and hope to come back again soon!

Liz P.
Really great breakfast menu and was packed, so others were also enjoying the food. I got the oatmeal with walnuts and apples and was delicious and the man got the egg and sausage croissant. Both of us really enjoyed it!!! I love my coffee so had to order a large Mocha, however it was TERRIBLE, didn't finish it (and I'm usually a two cup kind of person), so don't recommend the Mocha, but everything else was spot on!

M Q.
What a great place to hop in for lunch between sightseeing. This place is friendly, lots of tables, clean bathroom, and good food + quick service. What more can you ask for..... and not a tourist trap with overpriced stuff. I got the roast beef w/ multi-grain bagette. Lots of beef w/ lettece + tomatoes inside a fresh bread that's crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with flaxseed and other grains. I'm a bread foodie and this is good. You order at the counter, pay, and pick a table. Then your food is brought to you (almost super quick).

Sergio C.
This is a tasty affordable place to have breakfast or lunch. The place can be very packed. I had a egg, cheese and bacon croissant. It was good, but not out of this world. It's a nice place to go if you want an inexpensive bit in Savannah's historic district. I didn't have to wait in a crazy line, but if I did I would have been a little bewildered as what the wait was for. What I had was good but not out of this world.

My husband and myself hired Goose Feathers to cater our wedding. Such a great choice. The sandwiches were some of the best food our guests had the whole week. A definite stop for lunch while in Savannah.

Victorious D.
I'm going to give them three stars. The customer service was wonderful and friendly. But my sandwich was sad and disappointing. It felt like it was without substance. I don't remember what it was called, but has sprouts avocado and spinach. Basically I felt like it was a tremendous amount of effort to eat...but I was going to starve because it took more energy to eat than I would get it from it.

Very busy spot! Just stopped in to really get a quick pick me up morning beverage and use the restroom. We decided to grab a bite and sit down. I got the home made hot chocolate-which wasn't very chocolaty. I was disappointed. Grabbed a bagel. that had a touch of cinnamon to it. The pastries looked great. But sorry Goose-Starbucks has you beat on the hot chocolate. I was trying to put cream cheese on my bagel when the busser just wanted to take my tray. Maybe I was sensitive because I was tired and road weary from travel...but jeez let me get my plate off the tray. Must be a good spot because it was busy. I could pass on this though. Sorry.

Alyssa C.
Stopped here for a couple sandwiches and a slice of pie. Tried the Barnard club which had perfectly crispy bacon and fresh veggies. Got it on sourdough only complaint was it was a little heavy on mustard even though we ordered it light. Also had the Telfair on sourdough-no complaints there very refreshing. The pecan pie topped it off and I would recommend saving for a sweet their dessert display had several seasonal offerings. Wish the sandwiches came with a side but we still got filled up. Will definitely stop in next time we're in town.

Leigh N.
OK, the first thing you should know is that this place makes their own croissants. That's right... buttery bread goodness from scratch. I highly recommend the Eggetarian and the bread pudding. Pretty good coffee too! Everything was reasonably priced. This is the place I'd want to come back to for breakfast in Savannah. This place is popular so there may be a line, but it moves fairly quickly as you order at the counter.

tessa j.
we are locals and, having a group of nine wanting breakfast with palates all over the place (some carnivores, some only-coffees, some vegetarians) we figured this was a good place to hit for everyone. known as a major tourist place, we hadn't been there for years - back when it was simply known as "express cafe". got there at about 8am on a weekday, got our table no prob. everyone ordered different things (see the crowd, above), and everything was - uh, yes - meh. service, food, surroundings. the espresso drinks were, simply put, terrible. nothing is hand-pulled here - tastes like a mc'd's where they push a button and something resembling espresso pours out. my muffin was overly sweet. husband ordered a side of 'breakfast potatoes' and got three boiled red potatoes on a plate. bizarre. yes, as said before, it's like panera's. like the generic, big menu but everything average at best, marginalized food feel at panera's? you'll like this. by the time we left, about 9:30, the line was out the door. never - truly, it's not worth a second visit, much less a wait.
(2)
Brian C.
Crowded, line out front; however, the line moved quickly - very efficient place. Ordered Organic yogurt with honey and egg and spinach croissant - the spinach was not fresh spinach, but the frozen kind with onions. Not a fan of this type of spinach, but it was still pretty yummy. Croissant was really tasty.

Nice little place for lunch. The Bernard Street Club on sourdough was quite tasty. And the Whoopie Pies are excellent!

Don't know why I am writing this. Goose Feathers is the place to go. Food is excellent, the line is out the door and around the block. A shining star on the Savannah culinary landscape. If in Savannah or close by you must stop and enjoy.

We were out looking for a healthy option for breakfast in spite of all the southern cuisine available in Savannah. This spot offered a healthy tasty choice. I had the Turkish poached eggs with garlic yogurt sauce and my companion had scrambled egg yolks with veggies. Great food, good service, highly recommended!

This restaurant was awesome! Very close to hotel row on Bay St. Friendly order takers, interacted with my baby, seemed genuinely excited to serve. Food was excellent, had the eggel bagel sandwich and cheese grits. Quick service, clean restaurant, hard to beat!

Awesome breakfast food served all day. Got the cheese grits. They use sharp white cheddar - delicious.

Stopped here for a quick bite upon our arrival in Savannah. Very friendly, nice iced tea. I had the special (a turkey sandwich with craisins, cheese & apple slices on a baguette). Hubby had the "Club Sandwich" which was also served on a baguette. The most stand out thing about the food here was how fresh the bread was and how friendly the staff was. We would recommend Goosefeathers to anyone looking to grab a quick bite to eat. We would go back!

rolanda n.
Quite crowded, with a 25-minute wait, line snaking out the door and onto the street. But with few other options, we waited. It was good food, but man, there has to be a more efficient way of turning the workflow over so people aren't wilting in line. So, if you are in a hurry or need a quick bite, this is probably not your place. If you have time to kill, go for it. The bagel egg/cheese sandwich was really tasty, and prices are normal for this kind of a place ($7-ish for bagel/egg sandwich and water).

Jodie K.
Absolutely amazing waffle adulterated by corn syrup! Not sure why it comes up as an organic restaurant on Yelp if you can't get real syrup. The scrambled eggs remind me of hotel buffet eggs, I guess that's alright if you're into that sort of thing. Otherwise great place I have to remember is for the croissants.

This is an AMAZING little cafe. Don't be scared off by the long line of people waiting to get it -- it moves quickly. The food is amazing and fresh. Don't be surprised to find the owner at the cash register greeting you with her hospitable smile. I am a huge foodie and must say all of their food is amazing but my favorite is the scrambled egg and cheese on a freshly baked croissant with a bowl of fresh fruit. Oh and I ask for them to put some deli turkey on there as well and it's never a problem. GREAT spot

A breakfast must in Savannah. Lines moves fast. Homemade croissants melt in your mouth. Quiche Lorraine was delicious. Butter rum mocha coffee was perfect. Great location next to the market place and close to everything.

Eugene P.
We didn't expect much from this little cafe but noticed that there was a good line out the door. We decided to go since it was moving fairly fast. We walked in and first thing we saw walk by was the bread pudding! It was mouth watering to see such a beautiful mound of dessert. We got the quiche with tomato, onion, and basil and the blueberry croissant. The croissant was flakey and buttery, just the way I like it. My wife loved the quiche, but since I don't like it, I took her word for it. The portions were average but the bread pudding definitely filled any empty space in our stomach.

Erich F.
The wife loves breakfast so we made the trek from the Mansion on Forsyth. We were wondering around when we remembered the line out the door the day before. We walked up and straight on in...no line! I got a breakfast bagel sandwich with the rosemary potatoes. They were both really good and the sandwich was so good. I couldn't eat all the bagel, but ate the egg and sausage out of it. The bagel was fresh and soft, just too much bread for me. Wife got banana nut waffle and said it was delicious. We were both happy and will return again.

Carly W.
A good place to go for a quick lunch on a busy day. I've never had to wait in a terribly long line, but then again I tend to eat lunch later in the afternoon. They have plenty of healthy options and the food comes out pretty quickly and is delivered to your table. I like the vegetarian options and the multigrain breads. It's difficult to be too healthy when I stop in there...as soon as I walk in all of the desserts stare at me while I wait in line and continue to taunt me throughout my tasty meal. Sometimes, I just gotta give in to some bread pudding or a cookie. I can't say I've ever regretted that choice. They do seem a little uptight about getting everyone to follow their pointless rules, but I can't say I had a problem with them insisting I leave my tray of trash on the table when I attempted to clean it up myself the first time I stopped in.

Byrd B.
I had read up on breakfast and lunch in Savannah and spotted Goose Feathers right off. It did not disappoint. We had lunch. The chicken bacon mushroom melt with havarti was delicious. My spouse had the salmon quiche, which she loved. Corn chowder was creamy and hearty. Even the pasta salad was light and allowed the pasta taste to come through. I was not so impressed with the bread pudding, which came highly recommended. Too much nutmeg for my taste but the cup of whipped cream that accompanied it more than made up for it! The chocolate bear claw(ette- only $1.25) was superb. It is croissant flaky dough with a sliver of chocolate in the center. The ganache on top was truly icing on the cake. I loved it. Oh, the counter service was a big plus for us-- fast, VERY friendly, Southern hospitality, no tip.

I really want to rate this place as a 5 star place, but didn't just because it was a self serve place. To start off, the place was simple, nothing flashy, and seemed like a run of the mill stop and go. BUT I have to say that my gf and I thoroughly enjoyed the food. We went there Saturday morning and had to return Sunday morning for another taste before we left. What to get: Bread pudding- a must get peanut butter mocha- a must get croissant (I like mine simple, which just a slice of cheese... you can get the sandwich, but those are larger- for 2 people) Lastly the people working were great. It was a pleasure to eat there and I look forward to eating there again.

Andrea L.
Southern hospitality at its best. Food was amazing as well. Eggs Benedict on croissant two thumbs up!

Amanda Z.
If I was only judging the bread pudding, I'd give it 5 stars easy. Otherwise, the food is pretty average morning fare, all good but nothing that really blows your socks off. That said, I will talk about the bread pudding a little more. We first came here on the Foody Tour and came back the next day for another dose of this fattening little concoction. It is made from croissant and french bread, covered in an apricot glaze, and then topped with tons of whipped cream. This is not bread pudding for the faint of heart, this is full fat and full delicious. A single bowl is big enough for two to split, as we chose to do, and was incredibly filling. I have to say, completely worth it and probably some of the best I have ever had. Otherwise, the menu is filled with classics like bagel sandwiches, eggs, baked goods, lox, etc. It's not really a hearty southern breakfast, but it's good and maybe a little expensive, but frankly I was on vacation and wasn't really paying all that much attention. Sorry.

We were in Savannah for 4 days and we ate breakfast here twice. The egg and bacon on croissant was the bomb! The line to order was out the door but the line moves fast. The staff were super nice. I had red potatoes to go with my sandwich and I've had better, but they were still ok. I would recommend a visit if you're in Savannah.

I was taken here by a local and found it to be a cute place with pretty good breakfast, I ordered the belgian waffle with fruit and bacon. I also had a croissant donut which was sinful. The others had the same and one had scrambled eggs. We all did coffee or juice. I will say it seemed a little pricey, the bill for 3 of us was $51. There was a line formed when we got there but it moved quickly.

Sheri E.
This place was AMAZING. I was in Savannah with a group of girls for my friend's bachelorette weekend. We were staying at the AVIA and wanted a cute place for breakfast and stumbled upon this cafe. I should be honest and say that the 3 mornings we were there for breakfast, we ate here all three mornings. We even had a lunch here on the afternoon we were leaving. At first it could've been out of laziness to find another place to eat, but really, why would you go anywhere else when this was so convenient and delicious? Let me just tell you, you HAVE to try the quiche...they have a few...try them all! Oh, and the oatmeal! For those of you who like it, you definitely need to try it...I had mine with bananas and maple syrup...yum yum! I also had The Telfair Sandwich (Havarti cheese, cucumbers, sprouts, tomatoes, and avocado) - even the meatitarian would like it. When I saw they were offering franchising opportunities I was super excited...now, if only I can convince someone to open one in North Carolina...

Went to Goose Feathers Cafe for breakfast on a visit to a Savannah after seeing it on a Yelp. Arrived around 9:00 am on a Tuesday. We thought it was a little overpriced for food you had to wait in line to order, which at times was all the way out the door. We ordered the holiday special drink, a peppermint mocha, and it was super expensive but good. Food wise, we ordered a bread pudding, sticky bun, and two of the Eggs Benedict-Savannah style. The desserts were delicious! The eggs benedicts were ok....loved them on a croissant, but we felt that the ham layered on top of the croissant was too close to processed lunch meat...and for being so expensive, we were a little disappointed. Don't forget to grab your silverware while in line, because trying to get back to that area is difficult with all the people waiting in line.

Was in Savannah for a wedding this weekend and stopped here for lunch. I had the special which was a turkey and monterey sandwich with apples and craisons. Wasn't that great. They should have used granny smith apples for more taste and/or a flavored mayo. Sandwich very bland. My sister in law had the chicken sandwich and there was very little chicken on the sandwich. Not as impressed as the other reviewers.

My boyfriend and I stopped in for a light lunch and the food was delicious. The owner (featured in one the Yelp photos) was very friendly, working the cash register and bringing us our food. Though the options weren't crazy original (normal sandwiches and soups), the ingredients were fresh and that makes a big difference. We were not disappointed.

Oh yea, I can see these guys being very busy pretty consistently. We found the Goose Feathers after making our obligatory reservation at the Lady & Sons. Things were busy, but we moved pretty quickly to place our order and find a seat. I got the impression that they have just enough seating most of the time, if things were any busier we may have stood around and waited. My sausage egg & cheese on a bagel included a ton of egg cheese goodness. My only negative was that the sausage was those mini (but thick) Jimmy Dean style patties. Personally, I'm not a fan of them....so I knocked it down to just an egg & cheese. My partner had the oatmeal and got a huge bowl for his money. It's a nice little place, we'd be back.

A solid amazing 4.5 stars! My partner had the Ogelthorpe and I had the Catawba. We couldn't resist a slice of homemade quiche and a mug of coffee as well. Fresh ingredients made for great sandwiches and the service was good. Entire staff was courteous and welcoming. Glad we got there before the morning rush!

I continue to go back to this spot on my trips to Savannah. There are some complaints of price, but if you order the best of the menu the cost is minimal. My husband and I went there for breakfast and ordered 2 coffee's, the breakfast croissant, a side, bagel with cream cheese and jam and the price was just over $10. The decoration and expensiveness of the seating is minimal as this is an EXPRESS bakery intended to feed you quickly and get you on your way. You order, they deliver to your table and then busboys retrieve your used dishes. We are always happy to return and enjoy the large breakfast sandwiches on either croissant or bagel. This last time the owner bussed our table and told us how he came across the place. Such an enjoyable experience we will be continued patrons. Thanks1

Came for breakfast with two friends while we were in Savannah for a conference. So glad we decided on Goose Feathers vs. another run-of-the-mill breakfast shop. Coffee was delicious, and the bottomless refills were much appreciated. :) I had the granola and milk with fruit and was not disappointed. Delicious! I could have eaten about 10 other things on the menu; it all looked delicious. The staff was super-friendly and upbeat on a Thursday morning. I actually think we were served by the woman who owns the place. She was SO nice, and she gave us a few suggestions of places to visit while we bummed around the cute little downtown area. It's that kind of customer service that sets Goose Feathers above the rest. Cute little location with tons of natural light. Helpful men coming around to bus tables and clean the already very clean space. I wish I had enough room to try one of their whoopie pies! Thanks for the positive experience of Savannah on my first morning there. It definitely set the tone for a great weekend. :)

Went with my family and we enjoyed brunch here! I split the waffles and ham& cheese croissant with my sister and we loved both! My husband got a sandwich I don't remember what kind but he liked it and he raved about the dark chocolate raspberry coffee! Everything was super yummy, I'd definitely go again!

Wide variety of pastries and most of them are pretty tasty, but when they're not fresh you can definitely tell. The staff **behind the counter** give off a weird vibe. It seems as if they are not being genuinely friendly and they're forcing their smiles.

Solid cafe style breakfast. I had the croissant bacon egg and cheese sandwich with one of their coffee specials. Coffee is great, the croissandwich was amazing and the coffee cup we bought makes for a pretty good souvenir to take home from savannah.

Aside from being busy on a Sunday morning, my girlfriend and I decided to be patient and stick it out. We were glad we did. I tried the Eggs Benedict (whoohoo!) and my girlfriend went with an Everything begal with creamcheese and sprouts. Both were fantastic. You didn't get much latte in a mug but it was pretty tasty.

When you order at a counter, you expect that the service will be lacking, however, Goose Feathers has EXCELLENT service and a low price menu!! I have been twice and the food is great! The service is exceptional and the atmosphere is pleasing.

I love this place. I haven't had there breakfast items. Mainly go for lunch. Quiche is great. My fav. sandw. is the telfair-- cucumbers, havariti cheese, sprouts, & herb mayo. All their soups are super & homemade --my favorite is there cream of mushroom -- to die for. My daughter loves the roast beef sandw--which is also very good.

Service was awesome. Food was okay, but for the same price we've had much better. I got the eggtarian & my husband got the Bernard club & we got a fruit cup and scrambled eggs for our little guy. The eggs were almost slimy and our little guy wouldn't eat them. The fruit was fresh though & our sandwiches were good just nothing special as we had expected from other reviews. They did have a big selection.

On the advice of Yelp, I stopped here one morning while my new husband slept in. Y'all didn't disappoint - this is a charming and well-run little place. It's a little hard to find, but that's probably just me. Inside, there's just enough room for it to be bustling without being packed. There was a line, but it moved swiftly, and the folks behind the counter were very polite. I had a couple of chocolate pastries and some coffee, and it was all excellent. I wish I'd woken Jason up and brought him over, too!

We had lunch here during our visit to Savannah, and the deli sandwiches were average, but plentiful. I had the cup of sweet potato soup -- very thick and not really hot, but tasty. My husband had the fruit cup -- again, average. The real star here, though, is the bread pudding. That's probably the reason I'm giving it four stars! This is truly excellent and enough to share -- warmed with whipped cream is the way to go. It's a little pricey ($3.99, I think), but worth it, as it beat the pants off other bread puddings we had on our trip. Would return, but maybe just for the bread pudding! :)

Great location by Ellis Square. Their chicken ginger sandwich is out of this world. Portions are a little small, so get the full sandwich serving (as opposed to half size). Their fresh gazpacho was delicious.

David H.
This cute and lively place offered a very nice alternative to free hotel buffets. The eggs benedict were tasty & just what I was craving, while my wife had the quiche of the day. A shared bowl of fresh fruit and a couple of lattes made this a very good breakfast experience we would happily repeat.

Holly S.
Feeling sick from the heavy, greasy, fried fare in Savannah, we were happy to find a lunch spot with a lighter cafe menu. The selection is a standard cafe menu, including basic salads, sandwiches, panini, flatbread sandwiches, croissants, desserts, and assorted coffee and tea. Nothing new or innovative, but all fresh and tasty. The woman taking the orders was very pleasant and asked if we'd like to add, swap, or omit anything from our order. Options are great. The food was fresh and good, but the iced coffee was weak and terrible, despite the additional espresso shot they suggested. Shocking for a cafe.

Good waffle! Hot chocolate is over the top- same for chocolate waffle. Eggs, bacon, & fruit were great for those needing gluten free.

This review is from a tourist's point of view Went to Savannah on a trip, best lunch I had was here, the wait staff was friendly (except one waiter was a little creepy), the atmosphere was upbeat. The food is the most important thing though, the Salmon BLT was absolutely amazing. The Club was great, and the Spinach Chicken salad with Raspberry dressing was fantastic, would highly recommend this place.

This place is just average and for what you get, I think a bit on the expensive side. What was had: Belgian Waffle with all the trimmings Two Sweet Teas Slice of Triple Chocolate Cake Bread Pudding Egg Croissant with Sausage Sweet & Spicy Chicken Sandwich Wrap Total was 31$ What was good: Bread Pudding & Croissant Sandwich The rest, mediocre to unacceptable. Belgian waffle was not unique and could have been from anywhere. Fruit on top was fresh but think it just lacked something unique to this particular cafe. Had to ask for syrup and butter, shouldn't that automatically come with? Chocolate Cake was awful. It was stale and had no distinct flavor to call it triple chocolate. The chocolate icing broke away from the cake from the first bite. It was not fresh and the flavors were not good at all. The Chicken wrap was just as bad. The chicken tasted like something that was pre-seasoned and frozen at one time. Ever bought Purdue's sliced chicken breasts from the grocery before? I swear that this is what they were using. A simple fix could be just to buy an actual chicken breast from the market, that is fresh, and season it your own way. There was no flavor to the chicken and it was tough. Looking at it looked like it was pumped full of something from Food Inc, the movie. The egg croissant sandwich was really nice but not worth all the rave I see this place getting. Overall, I think this is just a tourist trap that is listed in the guidebooks. I would not recommend anyone coming here.

My Favorite spot in Savannah for a Great, Quick, Breakfast that's home cooked! Loaded with Pastries and Sweets, Goose Feathers can be Crowded or empty depending on the day. Even if it's crowded, service is quick and you can always find a seat. An idea place to have breakfast when getting ready to visit Paula Deens "Lady and Sons" Restaurant.

Dined here mid-Sunday morning and waited in quite a long line to place our order. There was a line the whole time we were there-- it was worth it though! My husband and I are fans of eggs benedict and each ordered a different version of it and loved them both. We also took a whoopie pie to go and really enjoyed that, too. They have good variety for breakfast and we wouldn't mind going back.

Dana M.
Really loved this spot for breakfast. I had an amazing croissant with egg, cheese, and turkey sausage. I loved that turkey sausage was an option. It was a very generous sandwich. The croissants were fresh and perfect. I also had the rosemary potatoes - lightly seasoned - comes with sour cream and scallions on the side. The mocha coffee I had was delicious - topped with whipped cream and cocoa powder - beats any coffee I've had from Starbucks. The line was out the door but moved quickly, service was friendly and efficient.

This place is so cute and it's great breakfast food and atmosphere. The owner takes pride in his business, and everytime we go, we see him bussing tables and making conversation just like the rest of the employees. I love the heart he takes in his business. We've pretty much made it an obligation to go whenever we find ourselves passing through Savannah: The Candy Kitchen, visit River Street, and Goose Feathers. No doubt.

Chantal G.
I wasn't so sure about this place as I went in to a long line. I was beginning to rethink my options but I saw that the line actually moved at a fairly rapid pace. I saw something on the menu that I really wanted to try, it looked like an eggs benedict croissant with spinach but it turned out to be the Eggetarian. What looked like ham on the menu was actually tomato and what looked like spinach was the pesto. I may not be a vegetarian but I really had to try it just the same. I am glad I did. It was a great blend of flavors and paired well with their fruit salad cup. I had a delicious peanut butter cup latte which had the perfect amount of everything (coffee, sweetness, flavor). The cafe was a bit noisy so if you're looking for a quiet place to read or relax, this is not that place but if you like a boisterous morning environment and delicious food to start your day, this is the perfect spot!

Judith G.
Being from ny, I am not the authority of southern food but the shrimp and grits were amazing! I also enjoyed a piece of pecan pie... It was lovely but they heated it up in a microwave. Could have thrown it in an oven for a couple of minutes, I wouldn't have minded the wait. Either way, great breakfast in downtown.
(4)
Lisa G.
Exactly what I was looking for - really cute cafe that sells brunch all day. I had the waffle which was really good (made with butter) bacon was good and I had the maple coffee. Even better, everyone was super friendly and helpful. Sunny spot on a rainy day :) ... But they have a large awning if you want to sit outside anyway :)

This is a very popular place for breakfast. I was heading to the airport so just stopped by to pick something up and there was a long line out the door. Definitely call ahead if you want to get take-out! I got the tomato-avocado quiche and bread pudding. The quiche was very good. The fresh tomato and avocado made the quiche taste lighter and not feel as dense or heavy. The bread pudding was good but nothing that really makes it stand out.

Jess P.
First of all, I got the black bean burrito and it was phenomenal. The price was fairly reasonable, but I probably wouldn't have stopped in if I wasn't on vacation. Perhaps my biggest complaint is no free refills of lemonade. While I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, my two friends who both got sandwiches were not so impressed. As we sat behind the window with various TripAdvisor and Yelp award stickers plastered on, they couldn't help but marvel how they got up there.

Prince A.
I liked the feel of this spot and being in business for many years, they were running their operation like clockwork. Being an express cafe, the food is pretty top notch and with a bottomless coffee mug, my breakfast was stimulating! Love this spot, everything looks great, smells great and tastes superb. Oh, and the bread pudding?! Game over! I am coming back here again and its gonna be bread pudding for breakfast
(4)
Mike W.
I can't say I've ever been as impressed with Goose Feathers as many reviewers here apparently are: honestly, I've found it decent, at best good, but not at all exceptional nor innovative in a city that has a wealth of lunch and/or breakfast options. The sandwiches and other dishes are pretty standard--reubens, bagels, foccacia bread sandwiches and the like and they're ok but, once again, rather plain and standard. I suppose if that's what you seek, you'll be pleased. Certainly they must be doing something right given the rave reviews and the fact they've been in business at least a decade or better. Their location is pretty ideal, too. For lunch though, I have to feel there are better options such as Zunzi's.

I've had withdraws over this mug. So much so that I finally decided to take the drive back to Savannah and now I finally have it.... What? You think I'm kidding? Ok, yes! But not entirely... I may not have driven to Savannah for it, but I didn't have to. Shortly after writing my review I was apologized to by the owners personally. Then some time later (today to be exact). I received a nice chunky package labeled fragile (how much do we love getting things in the mail that are NOT bills?). My package came from Goose Feather, my package was clearly carefully packaged and stuffed, my package included not one, not two, not three, but FOUR Goose Feathers mugs. EEEEK! I guess some might think Goose Feathers bought my 5th star. But truth be told they stole it...my heart that is. And with this gesture they far exceeded earning it. Thank you Beth and Mike. :) You guys are the sweetest! Best, A Happy Customer

Goosefeathers is a great place to take a load off and people watch. We grabbed some coffees and whoopie pies and parked ourselves on an outdoor table. Being so close to Congress it makes a great people watching spot. The employees we had contact with weren't very friendly. The hazelnut coffee was yummy (with free refills) but the whoopie pies were a disappointment. We tried both the chocolate and strawberry. I must say I make better ones myself! I'm not sure if this is any indication of the rest of their food...

Vivien P.
Cute cafe in the historic district of Savannah. The food was not superb but the great atmosphere makes up for it. Eggs Benedict: Best thing we ordered. The egg was poached perfectly. Belgian Waffle: Eh....was not as crispy and dense as I hoped. Bread Pudding: Had good texture but was lacking in flavor. The girl at the cashier said they would warmed it up for me but I thought it came out not warmed enough Yogurt: they could have dressed the yogurt up a little bit...or at lest give me a full serving. Service: Superb service. We were greeted with a menu as soon as we stepped in the door. Very friendly service.

David P.
Order at the counter and serve by the whole staff. I ordered the "Bird's Nest" and really enjoyed it, the salsa really brought the whole dish together. The only negative is more of a pet peeve for me, they serve the coffee in a Styrofoam cup. I personally hate that. We may have to go back to try some of the pastery's.
(4)
Ralph A.
I had the eggs Benedict, coffee, and grits and thought they were all pretty good. I thought it was expensive considering the location. I paid $11 dollars for the three things above. Seems like NYC prices. I do appreciate having coffee in a real mug, so kudos for that.
(3)
Alison M.
Do not order the shrimp and grits here, they are not authentic. I'm no southern food connoisseur, but I do know that what we got there was not shrimp and grits. The advertised $6.50 shrimp and grits here is basically a bowl of plain grits with lukewarm, flavorless shrimp thrown on top and covered in a sauce that tastes like a mix of beef broth and Chesapeake bay seasoning. The fiance thought the sauce was just white gravy. It was bad. Two bites and we were done. This review is a warning to all those folks new to southern food so that they don't get duped. The real dish is amazing and sadly, Goose Feathers doesn't have it.

Made a bee-line for this place after our TASTE of SAVANNAH Tour Guide, SAM told us how great it was. Goose feathers did not disappoint! We ordered the Bird's Nest with a side of crispy bacon. Heaven! Cheesy grits with 2 poached eggs, homemade salsa, cilantro and Vermont white cheddar were to LIVE for! So good! Highly recommended!

While in town for a friend's wedding we found ourselves in Savannah's historic district hunting for breakfast on a beautiful Saturday morning. We turned to Yelp and headed to the best-rated breakfast in town, Goose Feathers. It's a counter-service restaurant that then brings your food out when it's ready. I'm not typically a fan of this concept, but for Goose Feathers, it works. They are highly efficient at moving this line. It was probably 15 people deep when we arrived, and I had ordered, paid and was drinking my coffee in under 10 minutes. Our food arrived in about 10 more minutes (amazing for how busy it was) and we proceeded to munch. We sat outdoors (highly recommended) and enjoyed the people watching along with our breakfast. I had the "Eggetarian" which was two poached eggs, cheddar, pesto, tomatoes on a fresh croissant. Delicious, creamy, a little light on seasoning (personal preference), but full of flavor. My wife had their ham and cheese filled croissant. The dough was flaky, buttery and obviously fresh puff pastry, filled with city ham and melty cheese. Excellent balance. We also split a lemon poppyseed muffin that was more like a popover and was amazing. The only gripes (if any) was the coffee was utterly forgettable, tasted like diner coffee, bland, boring. They do have a multitude of specialty coffee drinks, but they all read as very sweet. (i.e. Pecan Pie Latte, etc.) Also, the place is very busy, but manageable. All in all, we would definitely return to Goose Feathers on our next trip to Savannah, but would probably skip the coffee.

Goose feathers is the BEST! Please come to Atlanta! All of the food was OUTSTANDING, delicious, hot and fresh. The waitstaff was very attentive even though it is not a sit down restaurant. Prices were incredibly reasonable and service moved very quickly. You simply must go if you visit Savannah!

Express cafe it is. They are geared to get you in and fed very efficiently. AND the food is really great! The tuna nicoise is tasty on their baguettes, and the bacon egg croissant is A+.

Goose Feathers was exactly what I was looking for - a fast breakfast that wasn't fast food. My favorite item was the Eggitarian, two poached eggs with pesto, tomato, cheddar, and hollandaise on a croissant. It was oh-so delicious and kept me full until dinner time. Also, their pumpkin spice latte is the best that I've ever had. Waaaay better than Starbucks.

Charli B.
The line was super long, and there's a good reason for it; the food is worth the wait! The line moved pretty quickly and you aren't allowed to grab a table until you place your order. I ordered the stuffed croissant with turkey and swiss, husband ordered Eggatarian on a sesame bagel, and my son ordered a half portion Belgian waffle. Everything was so delicious that we didn't leave a crumb on our plate. I was secretly hoping my son wouldn't finish his waffle so I could eat the rest, but he devoured it! The service was superb! They were very friendly and attentive. A must visit spot in Savannah!

A must stop for breakfast. The croissants are delicious and moderately priced. Lots of choices feta and spinach, ham and cheese and chocolate are all standouts. My kids loved the waffles topped with soft serve yogurt and a choice of syrup or honey. Plus it's quick to get in and out. Love it!!

Really, 3.5 stars. Like others stated, this place is quaint. I liked the ambiance. They had lines the whole time I was there. We went this morning on a Thursday morning at 8:45 am. The line was to the door when we got there an stayed that way until we left at 9:45. We were there a bit longer than most of their customers... So I ordered their scrambled eggs with melted cheddar on croissant with ham for $5.55. Really, it was 4.55 plus a $1 for the meat (ham, sausage, or spinach... Possibly something else). They were pretty skimpy on the ham. The sandwich was huge because of the eggs but the ham was thinly sliced deli meat and only a couple pieces... Not evenly spread out. i Was a little disappointed that there was not enough ham. Bread pudding - the bread pudding was quite good. They had a sign that said you should try their famous bread pudding. It was delicious. $3.99 for a bowl. Well worth it. Warm and tasted fresh. Belgian waffle - I didn't order this but my mom and aunt loved it. The one bite I had, was crispy and good. A little on the expensive side for a waffle but ... What do you do? I would go back again. I guess it's not every day you're out at a spot like this... At least me from burby Atlanta. :)

disappointing. we were visiting Savannah for thanksgiving for the first time, and were looking for a nice place to start our morning with. Came here after reading the reviews. At best - nothing to report, the waffles and veggie sandwich were so so. Hot chocolate resembled nothing of chocolate. Little fruit salad with waffle was decent. The only 3 good things: 1. Location. 2. setting and ambiance 3. Staff was friendly. Other then that, not worth what we paid for. Sorry guys :(

This place was super busy. It's a pretty standard breakfast joint with standard prices and standard food. I was neither impressed nor disappointed. Caveat: I didn't get any of the pastries or desserts that they're apparently more famous for.

Husband and I stopped in here for a quick lunch while we were waiting for AAA. (Ah, the myriad joys of owning an old car...) It was quick, but that was pretty much its only virtue. My better half was reminded of an airport food court; I lean more towards a hospital cafeteria. Either way, these are not places you would normally seek out. And neither is Goose Feathers. Firstly, the atmosphere. It's right by City Market, so it's loaded with tourists. They had probably 20 people on staff between the front and back of house on a Sunday afternoon, and everyone was tripping over each other. I was shoved or swept out of the way by two bussers in 5 minutes after we ordered. The counter staff was supremely unfriendly--I've gotten better service at Burger King. Our cashier told my husband that he was taking too long, and then proceeded to skip us. Seriously? Of course, the guy she moved on to was ordering for like 6 people. Okay, I'm going to have a "this is why everyone hates gluten-free people; they complain about everything" moment. Apparently Goose Feathers has gluten-free bread for sandwiches. You wouldn't know it but for a teeny sign by the register. Consequently, I'd already decided to get a side of curried rice salad by the time I saw it, and knew we were going to get passed over in line (again) if I changed my mind. Annoying. Also, I wanted to ask if the tomato bisque were gluten-free, but decided against it because I knew the staff a) didn't know what was in their food, and b) would tell me what they thought I wanted to hear. Lovely. Finally, they had an oatmeal cookie bar that was labeled gluten-free. I KNOW they are not using certified gluten-free oats in this place, which means that bar is NOT gluten-free. It's seriously frustrating when businesses make a half-a**ed effort to have gluten-free items to make a buck, but are careless to the point of deception. When we finally got our food, it was just okay. My husband's croissant sandwich looked like something you could pick up at Parker's, and my rice salad was edible but bland. We booked it out of there and will not be going back.

Horribly mistreated by a staff member. Food was adequate but nothing great. Of course, it may have been tarnished by how upset we were by the rude treatment we had received. In any case, no food is worth being subjected to that kind of abuse. Yes, abuse. I am not throwing that word around lightly...it truly was abusive. The owner did little to rectify the situation. With so many fabulous restaurants in Savannah, we will cross this one off the list. Will NOT be returning to Goosefeathers again!

I loved the location since it is only two doors down from Ellis square. Also, the croissants were really good. The guys out front (busboys) were super nice, the girls taking the orders, not so much. Maybe they are stressed, but they have an attittude and the coffee is not that great. I think management needs to pay closer attention and sort out the obvious.

The restaurant is a small cozy little cafe that had really good quiche and whoppie pies. I loved it! Georgia peach whoopie pies are my favorite and is only during peach season around May.

My fiance' and I went here for breakfast on a Sunday morning a little before 9am. We were able to walk right up to the counter and order. The food was great. I got an egg, cheddar and sausage on a bagel and a blueberry muffin. Both were fresh, warm and delicious. My fiance' got a bagel with cream cheese, lox, and capers and a chocolate croissant both of which were also fantastic. When we left there was a line almost out the door and there was still a good crowd when we walked by later that afternoon. Highly recommend checking it out. Good people and good food.

Cheap, convenient, home-made, delicious! Within walkin distance of Ellis and Telfair Squares (we stayed at Avia Hotel; also close to that). Great breakfast spot~ line may be long, but moves super quickly. The owner is usually onsite and cleaning up dishes with the busboys (very down to earth kind of place). I enjoyed the spinach and feta quiche slice ($4) w coffee. Please visit, next time I want to try the bread pudding.

Tom C.
Yes. Go here for breakfast. Very limited menu, but good. The bagels are honest to god real bagels. Something you generally can't find in the South. Eggs are good. They're friendly. It's a small place, but the tables turn over quickly, and the line for food moves. It's not a hang out and eat a long brunch place, but it's perfect if you're in town and looking for a solid little breakfast while walking around the area.

Bob S.
Lack of dining space and frenetic pace diminish the good food vibe. The folks working the counter put up a good front, but the never ending lines are always present. Great croissants, good coffee, solid value in the food offerings, but don't expect much more than a quick gut-fill atmosphere as the employees rush about clearing way for the waiting hordes. It's ironic that this place is a bit of a victim of it's own Yelp popularity.

James A.
Went to Goose Feathers today, I'm so glad we did. I had a egg, cheese, and bacon on a bagel. The bagel was fantastic so fresh! My wife had a chocolate croissant, which was to die for, coffee was great as well. By the time we were done the line was out the door. Highly recommend when in Savannah.

Had the Eggs Benedict - Savannah Style... delicious and well worth the raving comments. Staff was great. One of the greeters ran to the back to get me a glass of water since I was drenched in sweat when I walked in. This is a nice refreshing option if you get tired of having really heavy meals.

This is one of the few places that qualifies for: cheap, fast and good It's located in the center of everything. This is a great spot to start the day with a simple, yet delicious breakfast and go on with your travels here in savannah. The service was pretty good. But I get how they could be not quiet there when the line extends outside of the door.

I went in for a lunch take-out; the line was out the door but it went quickly and my order was ready in a reasonable amount of time with no mistakes. It was very chaotic and noisy, so if you're looking for a quiet spot, this probably isn't it. Had the tuna nicoise plus avocado on sourdough (and comes with lettuce and tomato). It was decent.

Visiting Savannah and found this place via Yelp. Great breakfast spot with a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. We even tried to go back the same day for lunch but they had just closed by the time we got there. We'll be back for sure!

This place had a line out of the door and I see why. The service is great. My turkey sandwich was as good as a turkey sandwich could be (can't really mess that up) but the bread pudding was the real treat.

My husband and I ate breakfast here on 2 different mornings as we love dining at local restaurants when visiting other cities. Their bread pudding rocks. I also ordered their oatmeal and it was good as well. Tip of the day: Don't leave Savannah without eating here.

Service was friendly. The line goes by very quickly. Great ambience and a terrific way to start your Sunday. I had the eggeterian. If you eat meat, get it with extra crispy bacon and you'll thank me. My gf had the scrambled eggs which were perfectly cooked. The sweet tea was one of the best I've had. For dessert we shared a mini whoopee pie. The "mini" is more than enough for two people. It's extremely sweet. Awesome breakfast spot. Try to sit by a window.

Great breakfast place with my kind of morning food, reasonable wait and really good oj. If you're in Savannah, check this place out for lunch or breakfast. Plus, reasonable prices, clean and great service.

Sandwiches were bland, selection of chips was poor, but the service was nice. Would suggest getting anything but the french baguette. Key Lime pie was pretty tasty.

Our hotel in Savannah had breakfast but we came here twice because we enjoyed it so much. After all, didn't your Mom always tell you that breakfast is the most important meal? I love the system of order first and then sit down - it allows the tables to flow nicely. I have always wanted to admonish people that to take up a table before you have your food is what creates the table shortage. They have it all figured out here! We even got to eat outside and when you are from Chicago, that's a big deal in March. Their oatmeal is divine - apples, walnuts, brown sugar and a bit of milk you can add to the creamiest, hottest best damn oatmeal you will ever eat. Lest you think I had a healthy breakfast, I will admit I also had a chocolate croissant and an Irish Cream latte - with green sugar sprinkles. I was able to sight see for hours! My husband had the bagel breakfast sandwich with egg, ham and cheese. I thought it was super boring but he loved it. Listen to your Mom and start the day with a great breakfast.

Their pastries are not as good as they look. Bought a couple this morning and they were dry, burnt and tasteless. Expected better from this place.

Not really sure what the fuss is all about. We went for breakfast/lunch on Sunday waiting for about 15 minutes on line. We ordered a bread pudding, basil and avocado quiche, an Italian panini, and a turkey and pimento cheese sandwich. My boys liked their sandwiches and the bread pudding was good. The quiche had decent flavor (though they used dried basil during basil season), but it had been heated in a microwave. The coffee was nothing special. Counter service and staff were very pleasant, but the overall meal was average. Wouldn't wait on line for it again. Kind of wish I went to Papillote around the corner.

I've had the bread pudding, the waffles w/ strawberries, fresh bagels, and the Eggetarian. Everything I've had was delicious, the staff is extremely friendly, and I love the cafe-style ambiance. This is a great spot!

Long lines but tons of empty tables...what gives? Need to hire an operations specialist. Ordered a latte with extra shot. The latte was weak and disgusting - mostly milk even with the extra shot of espresso. The shrimp and grits was decent, while the eggatarian sandwich was much better. Ok but not great...not really worth the wait IMHO.

went here on a whim during a friend's wedding weekend, she is a vegetarian & read a few good reviews about this place on yelp, so we decided to go for brunch, and let me tell you there was a small line compared to what i'm reading, but omg the chicken, bacon, mushroom, croissant (i'm not sure what it was called exactly) was absolutely melt in my mouth delicious! such a neat little place, with great food, customer service & clean restrooms!

Loved it! Simple place. Lovely people. Yummy food! Good variety on the menu. Would've taken a picture of my eggs Benedict but it looked so inviting that I ate it before my brain could process anything else. Good hot chocolate too. This is going to be the start of a great day!

Dominic S.
Another disappointment in the food scene of Savannah. The food is premise and frozen. When you order it is microwaved and sent out. Everything was terrible. The manager did however refund our money and was very understanding. We will not go back or recommend this place to anyone.

Mandie M.
Stopped in on our way down to Florida for breakfast, not to be disappointed. The latte I had was delicious and the quiche the best I've ever had in my life. The way they had two busboys walking around kind of in your face is a little weird but other than that... Yum!

Wendi M.
Lovely spot for breakfast. Quite a bit of variety too. Small items like muffins to full scale breakfasts like waffles, eggs, toast. Fabulous!

Great service. I got the bread pudding (very good), a refreshing "the Chippewa" (homemade veggie cream cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, sprouts, sweet red pepper on multi grain), and shrimp and grits (yum!). Would recommend to others who are looking for an easy, delicious lunch.

Delish!! Long line to order but once you get the food it is worth the wait. Line moves right along. We had the eggeterian and the eggs Benedict, both excellent. We contemplated going back up to get something else it was so good. Loved it! Yummy breakfast spot in Savannah!

Lissa W.
Visited savannah for a week and my niece goes to SCAD, this is a great place that the local love. The service is great and the food is even better! I had the bird's nest and I do not usually eat grits but it was so good. Another time I had the egg croissant very good as well. And if the line is long the staff will do all they can to seat you whole party. A must go breakfast place.

Darth S.
So I came for breakfast to this cozy place during my visit to beautiful Savannah. My kids loved the food, my wife loved her croissant, and I... I loved everything about this place. The eggs Benedict and the bread pudding were out of this world. It's been a month and I still dream about the warm bread pudding.

Heard so many good things about the whoopie pies. Got two of the minis, they were both very dry. I'd skip this place and go for ice cream elsewhere.

Our party of six decided to try Goose Feathers for Sunday brunch and we were not disappointed. We ordered a variety of dishes including bagel, sandwiches, soup, desserts etc. Everything tasted really good. There were so many selections to choose from that it was actually a good thing that there was a line so we could study the menu to figure out what to get. For the location and portion of the food, I thought the price was really reasonable as well. I would definitely visit Goose Feathers again the next time I come to Savannah and try some of the dishes that looked interesting, but didn't have the stomach size to try all in one meal.

Get fresh avocado with your eggs n croissant. Delicious!

Delicious eggs Benedict on a freshly baked croissant. The five to ten minute wait is worth it. Always try the homemade bread pudding. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. My only complaint would be the Additional charge of 1.00$ when I added a tomato slice to my sandwich. Really? But it is a tourist Mecca... For good, yummy reasons. Excellent coffee too!

TJ K.
One of the best breakfasts I have ever had. This place is a local hot spot in Savannah, GA and my family and I decided to try while we were in town. We found it by chance, but were not disappointed. The lines are a bit long as this place is pretty popular, but the wait was worth it. I highly recommend the Egg-etarian. Can't remember if that is the exact name, but it is something like that and it is fantastic.

Sunny Y.
Very healthy traffic-always a good sign Your order shows on a screen which is a good concept (took a picture) Staff were friendly. The owner interacted with my 3 yr old and remembered her name when leaving. Who wouldn't like that? I ordered smoked turkey Reuben Flatbread was of high quality covered in Rosemary which gave it a nice flavor I would have preferred more toasted - it was more on the warmed side as opposed to toasted Turkey quality was good - quantity was less then expected. I envision reubens as a stuffed sandwhich in terms of meat Size was large, the flatbread does overwhelm the turkey, I have a good appetite so a larger sandwich is nice. I didn't leave hungry which is good. Slaw on sandwich was good, honey dressing was not my favorite but that's personal preference. Pricing was reasonable much better valuable than Panera Bread which I would consider comparable I would think if you like Panera Bread then you will have a great experience here.

We were looking to see if we could a decent bacon and egg sandwich, and that's exactly what we got in here. My wife and I had the bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant. It was fresh, hot, delicious, and with the fresh squeezed OJ, we had a good start to the day. For less than $20 you can't beat it, and would definitely come again.

This was my first time in Savannah, so I did a lot of research to find the popular places to eat. We ate here on our last full day in town, and so far I hadn't been wowed by any of the other places we had tried. I definitely was at this place. I ate here with my husband, mom and step-dad and all four of us thought it was amazing. The food tasted so fresh and had the perfect amounts of flavor. I had the eggs benedict and a hot mocha, my husband had the breakfast panini and Belgian waffles with banana and pecans, and my mom had the salmon BLT. We all tasted of each others food. The mocha was "just good", nothing special but I wasn't expecting it to be. My husband said the waffle tasted like a waffle. All of the actual food though was soooo good! I will venture far enough to say that it was one of the top 5 brunches I've ever had.

Amy D.
Talked my friend into going here for breakfast because of yelp reviews, and we were both very glad we did!! I had a ham, egg and cheese croissant, it was great, the croissant being the best part. She had, what she called, the 'best. waffle. EVER.' with bananas and pecans. It was so good she asked if I minded going again the next morning...no I didn't mind at all!! She had to get her waffle again, and I had to get my croissant again. As most have already said, don't let the line intimidate you. I am not a patient person and normally avoid a line whenever possible, but it only took a few minutes to get thru the line, and they make the food fast. The employees are constantly hustling around getting things done, but not in the least did I feel anyone was rushing us out the door at any time during both our visits.

Mark N.
Pretty nice place came for breakfast or lunch, it seems very popular with a hip, fit young professional and college student type crowd, lots of customers who look like they run marathons or are otherwise quite physically active and health conscious.. decent paninis.. the food did not overly impress me, but it was OK, and the atmosphere is nice..

Wells R.
Came here last year for first time while visiting and liked it so much wanted to make sure I came at least once this trip as well. Decided to come on a Sunday morning probably first mistake!! When I turned the corner to see people standing almost a block around the corner to get in I wasn't happy. There was no water outside while waiting in the heat, and looked as if Manager was trying to set up and save tables for those who wanted to dine in?! When finally my turn I was going to get it to go, but my daughter ordered eggs Benedict you cant eat that in back of a car, i changed my mind to dine in, to make it faster. That caused all kind of confusion, I was asked like will you need a table? anyway too much chaos inside and outside the store!!! having to criss cross through people in line to get to table!! I ordered one of the famous sticky buns and had looked forward to it all year... sadly it was almost burnt the edges were very hard so I gave up. Breakfast for 3= 29.00 ouch! If it isnt busy give them a try, breakfast sandwiches are good, but from a tourist stand point I doubt Ill go through that long of a line for a breakfast sandwich again.

Crystal W.
This is one of my favorite places to get breakfast! Love the avocado, onion, tomatoes and basil quiche. Also the stuffed ham and cheese crossiant is delicious. It gets really busy but the wait isn't long at all. I've never sat down inside and ate. Usually ate on the go or back the hotel.
(5)
Kristen R.
I came here on a whim, as I wanted something simple on my visit to Savannah. My order was taken by the owner, who was very nice and welcoming. While the price was not too bad, the amount of food I got was less than expected. However, it was quite tasty, so that's always a plus! (Random note: this place first introduced me to the word "pralines".)

Dan R.
A top choice for breakfast in any town, certainly Savannah. The line was almost to the door when we got there but it moved fairly quickly. Food-to-table was a little slower. I had a black bean omellette for breakfast and asked for an egg on top, which they did (added charge of course) but it was scrambled (I neglected to specify and they did not ask, my bad). I would say this was the best choice for breakfast in Savannah.

Ethan T.
What a find!!! I have read the other reviews, and was in fact drawn here because of the quick tips (great job Yelpers!). I had the breakfast sandwich with eggs, cheese and bacon, every item cooked just right, the bacon was crispy, on a soft flakey croissant in which I could actually taste the butter. I am actually watering at the mouth thinking of this sandwich. It is the only one that I have had that is comparable to the one served at the Midway Cafe down in the FL keys (mile marker 80). The coffee is well above average, and I was glad that the cups were big enough that I had plenty left to take with me as I wandered around town. The first time I walked in the line was short and everything went quickly. I was able to enjoy the open space, the high ceilings, examine the menu, and drink in this new place. The second time, the line was out the door, and after waiting a bit, my hunger drove me on to find a less busy place. If you are reading this, and only have time to try to the place once, stand in line and eat here.

Amanda T.
We loved this place! It was one of several places within walking distance of our hotel so we figured we would give it a shot and it definitely did not disappoint! The "Eggetarian" was probably the best breakfast sandwich we have ever had. Try the quiche too!!! Service was great and super friendly!

Melanie L.
Waiting in a line but it moved fairly fast. I got the egg, cheese and bacon on croissant and it was delicious. The croissant was so buttery and fresh and the bacon was meaty. My dad got the grits. They were delicious as well. It was our first time eating grits. We really enjoyed them with sugar. I also got the sticky bun which was good, not the best I've had though. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Lines were long and I still don't get why. Food is run of the mill blah. Benedict was covered in an awful hollandaise and was not seasoned with anything. It was just egg, hollandaise and croissant. No sides, nothing. Sticky bun was nuked and hardened onto the plate. Quiche was also nuked and the crust was stale and not fresh. Totally unsatisfying but relatively cheap. Only saving grace was good croissants. Won't be returning.

Kathy A.
The breakfast panini wasn't actually a panini. The eggs in my eggs Benedict were completely overdone (hard boiled) and I somehow had egg shell in them (how that happens with a poached egg, I'll never know!). Very disappointed. Would not return - not worth the line or the money. :(

I really wanted this place to be good. It started off oogy, we were standing in front of the Place Order sign and someone next to that sign (Cashier) was just staring at us. So I finally made one of those expressions of "Hey? What's up?" Which was returned with one of those tight lipped wide eye annoyed smiles so I knew that's where we needed to order! Thanks for just staring at us like we were idiots, you rock. After we placed our order there was a number to the side, but it was still closer to the cash register then I feel comfortable reaching for so we just kind of slid to the side expecting that she would hand it to us. Which she didn't...and they didn't tell us where to get the sugar for our coffees... I got the eggs benedict which comes on a croissant and I was like "Whoa! This should be awesome!." But no! It was more like "Whoa! What happened?" To start it was cold..the very inside in the ham had some warmth to it, but the sauce and eggs were all room temperature. Seems to be a theme out here. The eggs are not poached, they are just fried, and while the hollandaise was plentiful it was missing flavor..needed some lemon and maybe a touch more salt. My husband got one of their breakfast sammies and found it to be flavorless, he had to add salt and pepper to get something happening for his tastebuds but geez. I don't know...between the service and the lack of oomph on the food I'll have to pass. Overall very unenjoyable experience which is sad because some of the baked goods looked awesome.

I came here quite a few times with my boyfriend and family when I went to SCAD. The food is delicious, fresh, portioned well, and very affordable, especially if you're on that SCAD kid budget. The Eggetarian (spelling??) is my favorite dish there. A collandaise sauce AND pesto, he-llo! I don't know if they make the baguettes on site but they're crusty and chewy and soo absolutely yummy. I've been thinking about returning to Savannah for a weekend trip and I'll definitely be visiting this place to try some of the things I missed out on if I do. Namely, all their scrumptious sounding croissant varieties.

Jeong C.
You pay more for the ambiance than the food. As far as decor goes, it's classy, sensible, and the location is unbeatable. I'm a little wary of the service as noted by previous reviews. There was a guy who received sugar and cream with his coffee while I was given none, and i had to figure out where to where to find mine. Not a big deal, but attention to detail win my hard earned Yelp points. Better to come here early to beat the lines, and so that your brain is still numb to otherwise disappointing food. The breakfast panini really let me down, and once that happens no amount of bread pudding can save that. Fortunately the weak coffee let me fall asleep to forget this bad dream. I hope this was an off day, or better yet, they would scrap that panini mess altogether. However, it seems like they do the regular breakfast fare pretty well.

Twisty H.
I liked this place - it's really cute and there are some interesting things on the menu. I just think it's not quite worth the exceptionally long wait on line to order (15-20 minutes or more) before finding a place to sit down and wait some more for your order to arrive. I went for the relatively healthy roasted sweet potato with pecans and cinnamon butter. BF had some kind of egg sandwich and a side of tasty turkey sausage. Coffee was really, really weak - even by Savannah standards.

Chase O.
Other than Zunzi's, this is my favorite place to get lunch in Savannah. From the staff, to the food, to the owner; everything about this place is worth writing home about. I ate here frequently for six years until I moved out of Savannah and 2009, and when I went back to visit three years later, the owner still knew my "regular order" (which was the Chicken Pita) even though she never knew my name. Everything is "personal" with this place, and you can taste the love that goes into it within the food. Highly recommend.
(5)
Vanessa V.
Ah-mazing. We needed a quick breakfast before we got on the road, and the word "express" made me confident that they could make that happen. We called in our order as we were checking out of the hotel, and within 2 minutes we pulled up outside. I ran in, past an enormous line, to the pick-up counter and got a quick glare from the girl at the register (I guess people just place phone orders from outside and walk in to avoid the line?) before happily skipping out with our bagels. They weren't New York bagels, but for Georgia they are about 700x better than I was expecting. I got one with egg on it, and the egg was cooked fresh, not just a re-heated patty. Highly recommended! Just make sure to leave them plenty of time to actually make your food before you pick it up :)

Caitlin M.
This is conveniently located near Ellis Square hotels, so we ended up coming here twice for breakfast. The breakfast sandwiches were excellent--I had the egg, cheddar, and spinach sandwich, and it was a very flavorful vegetarian option. The eggs were fluffy and the spinach is sauteed with onion and (I think) artichoke. I could eat that every day. The coffee was good but not exceptional.

Allana L.
We stopped in here for breakfast while visiting Savannah and although the line was out the door it moved at a decent pace and there was a guy bringing menus out for people. I had the eggetarian which I highly recommend, but be prepared to use a for and knife to eat it because it can get messy! BF ordered egg,cheese,spinach,turkey sausage croissant and it was good but they did forget his spinach and we took it togo :(. I had the house coffee and bf had a cappuccino, nothing special but it was good. We also split a strawberry cram croissant and it was amazing!! Reminds me of a strawberry cheese coffee cake, it was so good!! We stopped back in as we were leaving for more croissants and cinnamon rolls but they were almost sold out so we got whoopee pies, the pumpkin cream cheese one was amazing but we didn't care for the oreo like one, the white cream was too sweet. A great place to visit in Savannah. Good food and good prices!!

cute place. cute food options. i haven't had a decent cup of coffee since coming to savannah, but i thought for sure i'd get it here. unfortunately, as soon as i dripped a small amount of cream in, it "tanned" up, immediately exhibiting that "crap, it's way too weak" coffee. i didn't like it. but i wouldn't let that stop a second visit for eats.

My friend and I decided to take a road trip from the cold weather in Chicago to sunny Savannah. We arrived at 6:30 in the morning after having driven through the night. We slept for a few hours then went looking for food. Luckily my friend had lived in Savannah for a year as a full time volunteer at a medical clinic, so she knew the area. We went to Goose Feathers which was really good. It was like the south's Panera (which I love). The food was really good and they have great service. We didn't have to wait long to order or for food and it was around noon on a Saturday. Which I think would be a pretty busy time. The food was great. I'll have to go back again the next time my friend and I decide to take an 18 hour road trip each way to Savannah.

Katie B.
Great for a quick lunch. Tables turn over really fast, so it's easy to run in, grab a sandwich and wolf it down. The food is great and you can get anything from really light to heavy duty, belly stuffing fare. Their drinks and baked goods are also top notch. The service, though rushed because of the rapid customer turnover, is always competent and considerate. Sitting outside is the ticket, since the inside isn't much to look at and a bit claustrophobic. The outdoor tables are nicely shaded and provide a view of the square.

Only issue here is parking, have patience. Fortunate for us a parking space opened up directly in front of restaurant. Deli style ordering with made to order items. Excellent service, fresh pastries, hot coffee. What more could you ask for. One of my favorites.

DO NOT order their coffee..it was so weak. Otherwise, super cute and quaint place. Loved the menu items. My husband got a panini. I ordered the eggetarian. I loved it! The prices were fair, and the staff friendly. Also as a side plus, i enjoyed the boutique shops next to this cafe.

Keith B.
I was expecting a lot having read the reviews but i left not that impressed. 4 of us got breakfast and the first thing was that my cappuccino was just not that good. I am not a coffee snob but a like a cappuccino not a shot of espresso with a ton of milk poured on top so it becomes a weak latte. The breakfast sandwich was good but not great as were the two egg croissants. Maybe it was an off day but was just an average breakfast rather than a great morning cafe experience

Paul L.
I loved this place. it's a popular bakery shop where they make delicious sandwiches full of veggies. Although you can create your own, the menu sandwiches are creative, wholesome and delicious. If you are seeking to eat healthy in Savannah, this place is a must. The prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is a bit hectic but quiet.

Ellie S.
Ate here November 2008. This restaurant looks like the Corner Bakery kind of place but, true to the reviews we easily got a seat and the food was quite good. Belgium waffles are great, ham was good and we had some kind of potatoes with rosemary that were quite good. All and all a good, easy and quick breakfast. Customer service was average.

We will be back when next in Savannah. Great atmosphere, great service, great food. When you're dying for something NOT fast food, and NOT run of the mill, and are greated with a smiling croissant sandwich of breakfasty goodness, or a HUGE fluffy Belgian Waffle covered in fruit, you know you made the right choice.

Great breakfast spot! I had their Eggs Benedict -- highly recommended! Coffee was great. For the price, this place does a great job!

My sister really wanted to go to this place, so we went. She loved her "Eggetarian" and latte and I thought my meal of an Eggs Benedict, Potatoes and OJ was just okay. I was a little disappointed that they don't explain that Eggs Benedict is prepared differently there...as in, usually they are on an English Muffin--but there they are on a buttery, fluffy croissant which was weird, and just not what I am used to. It didn't look like what I was expecting and I guess that is where I was let down. If you are going to make things different from how they usually are prepared, write that in the byline or description. Another weird menu item was my potatoes, which were little red round boiled potatoes instead of homefries or tater tots or hashbrowns which was what I thought they meant by "potatoes on the side"...I mean, it was breakfast--I guess I just assumed it would be more traditional. The orange juice was good though. The food was good, but not what I thought it would be.

Stopped in to pick up a lunch for a picnic lunch when I was in town visiting my folks. Awesome sandwiches! Great service! My kids even loved it!

The best breakfast we had on our 4 day trip to Savannah! So good we actually came back for breakfast 2 times in a row and bought a coffee mug because my girlfriend loved the Goose's bowtie. She says it stole her heart. Very delicious croissants, a great cup of coffee, and most importantly EXCELLENT service. Seems like it fills up quick, but the staff keeps the line moving steadily. Strongly recommended if you're staying at one of the near by hotels and you're looking for somewhere to get the morning going.

Very short walk from River St and there was only a short line on a Sunday morning. This is definitely more of a cafe than a restaurant. You order in line and pickup the food at the counter or they bring out things that take a bit longer. From what I could tell, everything is premade, even the hot stuff. Prices are reasonable on most items. Bagel w/cream cheese was under $2. Juice is fresh squeezed. Fruit is fresh. The Quiche Lorraine was delicious - very rich crust and the filling was delicate. I was a bit disappointed by the bread pudding. It wasn't warm enough and tasted a bit bland in spots. Overall a good place to stop in without having to drive all over the city or spend a fortune.

We went here twice while visiting Savannah. I wish we had a place like this near our house. The food is great and very fresh. The servers are responsive and nice. The granola tastes like homemade and the croissants are delicious. I also love the coffee, definitely quality and not cheap stuff though I do wish they had more of a coffee bar and you didnt have to go ask a server at the counter every time you wanted more. A great place to eat and enjoy a morning before you set off to explore Savannah.

I enjoyed a wonderful veggie sandwich (the Chippewa) and iced tea for lunch on Valentine's Day here. The baked goods looked good, but I behaved. The Lady and Sons is about a block away, but I was hungry early and did not want to fuel that cash machine known as Paula Deen ( I really used to like her, but she has joined Rachel Ray on the dark side).

This is a solid spot for getting some breakfast before heading out to tour the historic district. The people behind the counter are very pleasant. There's lots of seating, the coffee is decent, and they have a variety of breakfast goods. One day I had quiche and the next a bagel with veggie cream cheese. They were fine, nothing mind-blowing. My husband got a Belgian waffle with fruit and ice cream on top because that's what you eat for breakfast while on vacation.

I found none of the negative experiences of other Yelpers to be true for my visit. The owner was gracious and nice. I think others may have caught her at a super busy/stressful time. She did seem busy trying to make sure her employees were getting things right and there were a lot of customers on this morning. The line was almost out the door. The breakfast bagel and especially the breakfast panini was top notch. The panini took a little while but they brought it to our table and the wait wasn't long. The eggs were fluffy and didn't feel processed or like they were heated from a frozen disk like other breakfast bagel places. The bread and bagel tasted homemade. Coffee was good. Location convenient to the river, near Lady and Sons. This would make a good launching off point for a walking tour of Savannah. Their whoopie pies were excellent! I've had them from different places and these were my favorite. Not too sweet with moist cake. Peach whoopie pies were different and wonderful. This restaurant is definitely on my list of places to visit on our next trip to Savannah.

The avocado onion tomato quiche was delicious. Slices were kinda small. The bread pudding is amazing and not heavy and they serve you a HUGE portion! Fast, kind service and cleanup. Great location.

Great for B-fast. In a town the clamors for people to grab a drink and take a walk . . . This is the kind of place you need the next day, when the sun warms the Atlantic and sounds the bell for Savannah to wake up and get on with the day.

Imran Q.
Eh. Nothing special. The usual breakfast fare made mediocre. Some extras in the menu (bead pudding) but nothing really "wow"-ing. It's a good place to go in Savannah since I don't think there is an IHOP close by. The atmosphere has it's charm.

Sarah L.
My friend: I think this place is ok, if they got rid of the checkerboard tablecloths. Me: And the bugs. My quiche was good (if a bit salty, but whatever it's a diner the quiche is going to be salty) but my bread pudding was GREAT. There is a sign on the wall saying that the bread pudding is "world famous," which I'm not sure about, but it was definitely the most appetizing thing on my plate or any of the plates around me.

I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast from this restaurant! (We visited Savannah just for a few days) I ordered one of the baguette sandwiches with all kinds of vegetables and cheese. When I saw the price on the menu I wondered why it cost that much, but when I actually saw my sandwich I totally understood. It was fresh and tasty and good size (I need a good and big breakfast). I also ordered simple white baguette with cheese, which also tasted rather nice. I have to say, though, I wasn't that crazy about their blueberry muffin. It was very sticky and too sweet for my taste. I still finished it anyway! I got a really good parking spot right in front of the restaurant (metered). I didn't eat at the restaurant - they take orders on the phone / their website, so whenever you show up your order is ready for pick-up. I loved that service since I was on the go. I'll come back again if I am in Savannah.

High points for this locally-owned eatery, and the convenient location and homemade food. We came in for breakfast on a Tuesday morning at about 9am. We didn't have to wait in line. The menu items were appealing and everything was clean. We had the egg-pesto sandwich on a croissant and a spicy sausage breakfast panini. The pesto sandwich could have been better - but it was ok. The panini was really good. The coffee was great. The service was fabulous. As far as touristy breakfast spots go, this would get our vote. Prices were fair. We probably won't crave going back, but we would tell friends in the area to check it out.

This place will always be busy due to great location. The restaurant set-up is ridiculous--and seeing that they have been around for years and still can't or won't try and make a more productive and easy ordering process for the customer is ridiculous. This obviously really bugs me! Making a few changes and adding a register could make the waiting and ordering process much more efficient. Breakfast was alright---just breakfast.

Jae K.
Really cute place. Loved the atmosphere and checkered floors. The service was very friendly and fast. I went here twice while visiting and would definitely return. As a vegan I had some options. The Scarborough sandwich was really delicious (minus the cheese) and I found it reasonable at $5. My father loved the coffee so much he bought a pound of it to take home. I actually ate my sandwich here before my parents trekked down the block to the horrific Lady and Sons--1 star review for that place! Goose Feathers is a much more "Savannah experience."

Bryan O.
The farthest thing from a typical "southern" breakfast place. Actually seemed like something out of tahoe or Colorado ski town. Had the very southern lox and bagel, while the boy had a waffle & banana. No biscuit & gravy or such to be found. Still, really good food, clean and friendly.

The food is tasty, but average. The prices aren't bad for but for the same price down the street, you could likely get something a bit better. It's cozy and the people are friendly... just one major thing: no matter what time of the day I've been in there, they've been sloooooow. Please change your name "express" cafe and bakery. It's misleading.

I was in from out of town and looking for someplace to grab a quick lunch. This turned out to be a great choice -- pleasant atmosphere, not too noisy or crowded (even though it was a Saturday), and my bacon mushroom melt and latte were delicious.

Goose Feathers was highly recommended. We stood in the line outside on a brisk February day. As an employee came out and handed out menus in order to speed up the ordering inside, someone in our group mentioned we had brought 14 people. When we got inside, we noticed they were moving and setting up a long dining space for 14 people, without being asked. We were impressed! Food was excellent - had Eggs Benedict and cheese grits. Everyone else in our party enjoyed their various dishes, including the Red Velvet Whoopie Pie, Belgian fruit waffle with frozen yogurt, and a variety of egg and sandwich meals. Yay for Goose Feathers!

I went to this place last Wednesday I believe. Anyway, I got a nice bagel with lox and cream cheese. It was great-great tasting lox. The only thing I have to complain about is that, it's way too overpriced. I shouldn't have to pay 7.50 for that. But, I'll definitely for sure go their again, and get something else.

Relatively weak selection of coffee and baked goods but what they did have was tasty. Enjoyed a late and several muffins. Update: Received a nice note from the owner, after I posted the review, asking for suggestions and noting that they try to make just enough baked goods so they sell out each day. Given this, I thought it would be fair to note that we stopped by around 1:30pm so the baked goods selection is likely better earlier in the day.

My parents raved about this bakery, so we stopped here for lunch after we learned that Vinnie Van Go Go's didn't open till 4 p.m. on weekdays. Any place that serves breakfast all day is gonna be high on my list. I ordered the scrambled egg & cheddar sandwich served on a croissant, and I got it topped with bacon and spinach. The cheddar looked to be a white cheddar - not your typical greasy orange stuff - and the spinach was cooked nicely. I am always dismayed when I order spinach on a hot sandwich and you end up with partially-wilted raw leaves and thick stems. Also had a mug of their house coffee that I enjoyed. Matt had their smoked turkey rueben, which was served on rosemary foccacia. The sandwiches were both fairly ample portions, but mine rang up at $6.55 and Matt's at $7.25, so not the world's cheapest given their simplicity. They were satisfying though, and I hope I'll be back to try their other items.

The comment card that I attached to this post tells all. We stayed at a small b&b across from Forsythe Park and the short trek down Whitaker was well worth the food here. Simple, flavorful and cheap. Don't let the line scare you, it flies.

One of the best bakery in Savannah . The butter croissant and chocolate croissant are just unbelievable!!! By the way the croissant was one of the best croissant I ever try in the USA. I m originally from Switzerland and today I finally find back after 1 year an awesome bakery !! I m so glad to have them in savannah !!

Breakfast was great! I really enjoyed the grits and eggs. Perfect start to a warm day in Savannah. We got there at 9:15 on a Sunday and had a short wait. By 11 the line was down the block. Go early and head to the river walk.

Looks daunting when you walk up and see a line out the door but its a counter walk up and order concept. The oatmeal was the best I've ever had and my boyfriend loved his croissant breakfast sandwich! The customer service is spot on which table bussers and managers constantly walking around to check on you. Great food, great atmosphere, and delicious classics! Do it!

Kim D.
Highly rated for the area, and we were hanging out in the City Market area at the right time. We stopped in, encountered a small wait. I grabbed an outside table, while my buddy ordered. We both got the combo (1/2 sandwich plus cup of soup). We got the chicken salad - delicious! My friend got the gazpacho (my first time trying it, pretty tasty) and I got the cream of vegetable soup (REALLY REALLY GOOD). The only thing is that the chicken salad sandwich was more bread than chicken salad and I commented on this when the manager came by. He said it was a "measured" scoop, but surprised me by bringing a cup back with a few spoonfuls more of the chicken salad. I filled my sandwich bread for a perfect sandwich! I would visit it again. Our meal together was about $15 with one drink, before tip.

I came here to escape the daily routine of the hotel breakfast buffet only to end up having a meal which was comparable. After walking in, I looked at the croissants which did not look very buttery and flaky (given the high standard set at the Papilotte nothing less would do at this point), so I opted for a Eggel Bagel. The Eggel Bagel is essentially scrambled eggs on a bagel, to this I added a chocolate muffin. The muffin was excellent but the Eggel Bagel had no flavor whatsoever even salt and pepper could not save it. I could have saved the walk and made my own tasteless bagel and scrambled egg sandwich at the hotel. While the food itself did not do a whole lot for me the service is truly outstanding and that's why I gave it an extra star. Even though I did not try it, the sticky bun looked scrumptious.

I came in for breakfast because I heard that they had aMAYzing bread pudding. I'm a sucker for bread pudding. And it WAS very good. But the item that really captured my tastebuds was the breakfast panini. I'm kind of a plain Jane when it comes to food but I'm on vacation so decided to come out of my box a little. This sandwich has a panini oil spread that exploded in your mouth at the first bite. A little tangy..a lot garlic. That combined with the eggs, peppers, salami (yes, salami for breakfast), and Vermont cheddar cheese on panini bread was one of the best breakfast sandwiches that I've ever had! Only one cautionary note..bring your appetite if you decide to try this sandwich. Or share with a friend, as it is DOUBLE the size of a normal breakfast sandwich. It really was a great meal!!

This place is just good. We went twice during our 4 day visit in Savannah. The quality of bread was great, other ingredients like vegetables and fruits were fresh, the service was amazing even though the place was really busy. You might see a long line in front of the bakery, but it won't take that long. The operation system is very organized, so the waiting is pleasant, and worth to wait. You will experience very warm and active morning of southern kitchen in the bakery. That's more than just having a breakfast.

We ordered the Garden Vegetable soup to go and was unpleasantly surprised with the lack of vegetables. Should have been called the Garden Broth instead.

We waited in a line that was going out into the side street. The restaurant is organized and works like a well oiled machine so though the line looks long it moves along quickly, and be sure to know what you want before getting to the counter. The quality of the food was great and surprisingly fresh. Belgian waffle, quiche, eggs Benedict sandwich, and even the scrambled eggs were all done well which can't be an easy task. Every staff member was friendly and even said "we hope you enjoy your visit to Savannah." So yes their are many tourists but I didn't care! I enjoyed my breakfast here. Do not miss this one.
(5)
Jared R.
Wow! Visiting Savannah from Palm Coast, FL and found this place on Yelp. Got here early on Black Friday so we missed the long line out the door that formed by the time we finished our breakfast. Everything we ordered tasted great! The bread pudding was moist and topped with what tasted like a caramelized apple spice glaze; the portion size was enough for 2-3 people.
(5)
Kelli P.
Friendly staff. Clean restaurant. Wide variety of breakfast and lunch options. Lunch is served all day. Their breads and pastries contain no artificial ingredients to maintain freshness. I had the Barnyard Street club. Smoked ham, white turkey, Swiss cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato and cucumbers. On pita. Yummy. They posted their inspection report. 100% A.

Cecily A.
So good!!! Don't let the line out the door sway you to find another place... The line moves fast and the service is quick. Goose Feathers is a counter order/pay restaurant which helps in the fast service. Everything is al a carte, nice because you can custom make your own breakfast. I highly recommend the eggs Benedict with a side of cheese grits!
(5)
Rachel B.
Solid place to grab an economical breakfast! We ate outside and enjoyed the eggetarian, which was basically a croissant, pesto, a poached egg and hollandaise sauce. Yum!! Good service. I can't believe how many people were moving through that place, but it went quick.

I ate here this morning the place was pretty busy i would imagine for the breakfast rush. I enjoyed the bagel and what taste like a homemade cream cheese. Enjoyed the fact they came and got my dishes when i was finished with my meal .

How this places has any kind of positive review is beyond me the food is terrible. The sandwich has more bread than anything else more cabbage than meat and everything else that I saw people consume looks like absolute trash. I think the reason why it has decent reviews is the only other lunch thing to eat in this area is a McDonald's. The location and concept has so much potentiol. The execution is so horrid I would rather eat airplane food.

Stopped in Goose Feathers for a quick breakfast before heading out of town. The line was fairly long but it moved quickly. I ordered an eggel bagel (egg and cheese sandwich on a bagel), a side of grits, and a large "special coffee of the day". My total was under $10 which was appreciated. The food came out fast and tasted fresh. The bagel itself didn't have much flavor but it was a "plain" bagel. To my disappointment, my coffee was just a regular coffee and not the special flavored coffee of the day but it was decent (and they were the same price so it didn't really matter). I'd definitely come back here for breakfast the next time I'm in town.

Charlie C.
Awesome brunch spot! Goose Feathers is a small bustling cafe with a nice vibe. Though the line was long, the staff is so proficient and friendly that everything moves along quickly. I had the smoked turkey Reuben on ciabatta with slaw, Swiss and a tasty Dijon sauce. Awesome! I can't wait to try more.

I love coffee, like where are the beans from type. Coffee here perhaps better than SBs but probably not your cup if tea if you are a coffee snob (pardon the mixed metaphor). My waffle was good. Plenty of room and selection. You won't be disappointed but likely not ecstatic either.

Diana M.
This place gets super-crowded. I placed an online breakfast order for take-out. The food was ready in 20 minutes and was really good, particularly the eggs benedict and quiche lorraine. But one item from my order was missing, meaning my kids had to share their breakfast--which caused some drama. The breakfast potatoes were really good. The waffles were ok--kind of soggy, which may be because they were in a styrofoam container while I walked back to the hotel. The prices are very reasonable too. I would definitely return.
(4)
Eric S.
Can't think of any cons so I'll skip my usual format of Pros, Cons, and final verdict. This place rocks. For $6.75, you can get delicious eggs benedict on a homemade croissant. My wife got a large plate of excellent grits with two poached eggs, salsa, and cheese for the same price. The food is unassuming, to the point, and very good. The service is friendly, the wait was zilch/super short, and it is in a lovely part of town. Maybe we'll go back tomorrow morning for seconds!

We had a nice fresh breakfast and the coffee was outstanding. They are opened at 7am and everything looked and smelled amazing. My eggs were perfect and my son had a Belgium waffle. My husbands breakfast sandwich was also a hit. We will be back!

I came here about two Decembers ago and it was so delicious I still remember how delicious it was but the service wasn't as memorable but who cares when something tastes this good. I ordered the savannah style eggs Benedict and it was the best decision I've ever made. I love eggs Benedict as it is and I'm on a quest to find the perfect one and so far this has the #1 spot in my heart. First of all, it was served on a soft, warm, flaky, buttery croissant and it was such a pleasant twist from the original eggs Benedict. The egg was poached perfectly spilling the yellow egg yolk all over the perfectly savory slices of ham all blanketed with the best hollandaise sauce I've ever laid my taste buds on. It was love at first bite. Every single bite got better, the last bite being the best which is my favorite occurrence when on a culinary adventure. It is my favorite dish to date and I've longed for it ever since, constantly considering taking the drive from Orlando to savannah just to give it another go.

Jennifer K.
Great place for breakfast or lunch. My husband and I stopped here for lunch today. You order first then find a seat and they will bring your meal to you. We were pleased with the service and how light the meal was. I had the chicken salad sandwich (lightly tossed in pesto mayo with grapes) and my hubby had the chicken pita (hot diced chicken, romaine salad, bacon bits, and tossed in ranch) and pasta salad (traditional but lightly tossed in Oil). We enjoyed it so much that we plan on stopping in for breakfast one morning.

While passing through, I was looking for a place to eat breakfast. One of the carriage tours recommended this place. The line was quick (which I certainly appreciate with two restless hungry kids) The menu selection offered excellent choices for kids and grownups. Kids gobbled the scrambled eggs. I had the Eggs Benedict. (My favorite) Fast and very polite service.

Shane G.
I was not disappointed. The veggie panini was flavorful and the gazpacho was the best I've had, so fresh and flavorful. The iced coffee was perfect.
(5)
Diane Z.
The panini and bagels were way underbaked. Nothing was golden brown, but rather it was white and pale. I like it better when I have bread items that are crispy and golden on the outside. Also, I'm not a fan of how the restaurant works. You go in and try to decide what you want from the huge menu. Then get in line, order, and pay. Then you take your number and find a table and wait for your food. Eat then bus yourself. Definitely feels like they want us to pay for service that we will not get. I'd rather it be completely self serve or a sit down restaurant. But this hybrid just confuses and leads to resentment by both sides if either does not follow the protocol that is just expected to be known.

We ate here at Goose Feathers a couple of months back - November I think. Unfortunately I was not impressed. I came looking for a blueberry muffin, there was none. I had the cranberry muffin instead. We had several sandwiches and the bread pudding. Everything is just meh. I am giving them 3 stars because I don't want to kill their ratings. The location is cute and is centrally located in historic downtown. Parking is a pain. We paid $20. and parked by Ellis square.

When we approached the restaurant, there was quite a line. However, we moved through and placed our orders pretty quickly. The orders were brought to the table in no time, and the food was superb! I had the shrimp and grits and was pleased. My dining partner had the egg croissant and was just as pleased. Don't let the line deter you - the food was delicious!

I got in at the beginning of the lunch rush, but service was speedy. My sandwich was delivered to my table before I even finished my cup of soup. The waitstaff was exceptionally polite and welcoming. I liked the open, spacious atmosphere. Even though they were busy, it never felt crowded. I was pleasantly surprised at the decent amount of vegetarian options on the lunch menu. I had The Scarborough (yea sprouts!) and it was tasty.

Cathy R.
Stopped in here on a recent trip to Savannah after noticing the place by walking by the day before and also seeing spotting their ad on a local walking map of the city. The staff taking customer orders were very friendly and upbeat. It is difficult to absorb the large menu, so I went with one of the first items listed, the Eggetarian. Yummy. Especially loved the pesto. I went kind of late for breakfast (around 9:30 a.m. on a weekday), so the lines were not long. It did take a bit to get my food, but nothing extraordinary. I would love to see this restaurant in other Southern cities! Cute, clean place with good prices!

Hectic but well run operation. Some of our meal (The bird's nest) was great, the sandwiches so-so. Good pricing but definitley not a place to relax while having a coffee and pastry, as they want you in and out, as indicated by the charging sockets being covered!

Everything that you want a bakery/cafe to be. Service was personal. Food was phenomenal. Had a sandwich with havarti cheese, sprouts, and avocado on delicious soft but not squishy bread, just the thing for lunch. Husband had the gingery chicken sandwich on focaccia bread and pumpkin pie, both perfect. Even though you order at a counter, your food is delivered and you're able to get refills on ice tea, etc. Highly recommend this place, they have a wide menu with sweet/savory options.

Just ordered delivery to my hotel from here and I am impressed. So much so, that it has compelled me to write my first Yelp review. And I've been awake since 4am traveling in, so that's saying something. I ordered the Barnard Street Club on Sourdough with herb mayo. This sandwich is really good. Bacon is perfectly crisp, vegetables are remarkably fresh, and the herb mayo really sets it off. Delivery was VERY fast. My only complaint is with the soup. I ordered clam chowder expecting thick, cream-based goodness. What I got was a thin, tomato based, basically vegetable soup with clams. So, avoid the clam chowder, go for the sandwich! You won't be disappointed.

Saw a commercial for them for approximately three seconds and based on the name alone decided to take my ten year old sister there. This was after vetting them through yelp and checking their menu. I walked in and was SUPER impressed by literally every aspect of the place. Great style, great service, and most importantly great food! Come here if you have picky eaters or if you are just passing through, amazing!

We stopped at this place returning from Florida to NY. The wife was yelping in the car , so we stopped to try it . As soon as you step in to the place you are handed a menu as you stand in line. My wife ordered the eggs Benedict " Savannah style" they ask you how do you want the eggs cooked " impressive" . They wife said they were great . I ordered the Bernard club and a turkey and Swiss croissant . They were both delicious. They coffee was EXCELLENT. I never liked bread pudding but here it was out of this world. The place was great from food and people were friendly. The reason for the four stars : They need to work on better execution of orders. You order and they give you a number and they bring you border. We received our order and was not complete. I waited for 10 minutes and got up to see what happened to my sandwich. YOU NEED TO TRY THIS PLACE AND DONT FORGET THE COFFEE AND A EXTRA CROISSANT .

Friendly, well organized staff, amazing food! The Eggetarian (2 poached eggs, topped with sharp cheddar and pesto on a fresh croissant) simply can't be missed, but if you are more in the mood for lunch get the Salmon BLT! If you're there for breakfast, get the Birds Nest grits to share, a huge portion and cooked perfectly!

There's always a long line before I can actually enjoy this awesome restaurant. We had the Belgians waffle with strawberry and salmon BLT. Both are delicious and the service is good too.

This place is absolutely amazing! The eggs benedict and eggaterian are a memorable and delightful experience! Their food alone are a reason to travel to savannah but what also makes them stand out from the rest is the speed and efficiency of their service. At any point in time the line stretches out of the door but you find yourself at the ordering counter faster than you can decide which of the mouth-watering dishes to order. The food will then arrive at your table faster than you can bring the coffee from the ordering counter to your table and add sugar. Wow! That is service!

We stopped by for breakfast while vacationing in Savannah and are so glad we did! We came on a weekday, so we didn't have to wait in a long line - but by the time we left, the cafe was pretty full. It's not fancy, but it's cute. You order at a counter, pick up your drinks, and then they bring your food to the table when it's ready. It's very well-run, and we had our food within a few minutes of sitting down. Between my husband and I, we had the iced tea, iced coffee, homemade granola, homemade crossaint and egg sandwich on crossaint. Everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. We noticed customers who seemed to be "regulars" whom the staff were (adorably) interacting with. Nice spot to start the day!

This place is amazing! I'm a meat and potatoes type of guy. When my wife suggested this place on our vacation I was a little sceptical. BIG MISTAKE!!!! The breakfast burrito is the best. Simple but really good. There's a line but you get through quickly. The best thing about it is the owner still runs the register. Do yourself a favor, hit this place when your in Savannah.

Credit another great find to the Yelp app! We stayed in Savannah overnight and in the morning decided we would grab some breakfast before heading to Florida. I would frequent Goose Feathers anytime I am in Savannah! The line was pretty long when we got there, but that moved quickly. They have many options and I have to say the food was outstanding! The freaking waffles are amazing! I also had the Eggs Benedict-Savannah Style and it was equally as good, the croissant was out of this world. Highly recommend swinging by for breakfast!!!

For the perfect breakfast in Savannah, this is the place! Fresh baked croissants with eggs and cheese are out of this world and the homemade granola is sublime. There could be a long line, but it goes quickly and the service is outstanding.

I was downtown with my aunt early in the morning so we decided to get breakfast. I checked on Yelp. The pictures look delicious so we ended up going here. I ordered the specialty for the day which was shrimp & grits and a beach blanket latte with had white chocolate and coconut flavor. I also ordered I ham and cheese croissant to go. The shrimp & grits were very bland. The shrimp taste like they were just boil. There was no seasoning and the grits for watery. My latte had no flavor. It just taste like coffee and water. However, The ham and cheese croissant that I got to go was delicious that's why they got two stars.

Cool breakfast places is not a thing in Savannah so you'll have to remember this place when you travel there. Lots of healthy options and great desserts, and breads, and wonderful quick service. Croissants to die for! Dont let the long lines scare you- it moves very quickly and efficiently. Great Southern service!!

We ate here twice for breakfast on weekdays while we were in Savannah. I am a creature of habit and don't much care for breakfast foods so I had the gazpacho with a 1/2 baguette. I grew up in spain and this gazpacho was excellent! Chunky and full of veggies. I also had a cappuccino and it was very nice. My husband had eggs benedict on croissant and the second time he had oatmeal with apples and walnuts and a bowl of fruit. He loved all of it. Service was fast (you order in line and then get a seat), everyone was very pleasant and nice, the food was hot and cooked to order. The line was not long but I could tell it would be longer on the weekend.

I came here for brunch and got the traditional eggs Benedict as well as the strawberry waffles. The eggs Benedict comes on a fresh homemade croissant which is absolutely delicious. This is a nice little breakfast spot, just don't expect light/healthy fare the food is a bit rich and heavy.

Vanessa N.
Great place for Sunday brunch. You will probably have to wait in line for a little bit but it's worth it. The staff are very friendly and aim to serve you quickly. I've ordered the shrimp & grits twice & both times it was great. I've also had the gazpacho and curried rice & edamame salad. It's very conveniently located in DT SAV & a popular spot for tourists.

We for breakfast before leaving town, and wish I would have found it day 1. The line is long but moves quickly. I got the best grits in town and my hub got the special salmon. The hot chocolate is amazing. In the end we got breakfast and some baked goods to go for $25.

Brian M.
They have got.to have somehing going on judgimg by the lines that exists daily. I stopped by for breakfast and the goodies in the bakery case looked delicious. Everything on the menu looked and sounded delicious as well. I opted for coffee and the eggs benedict on a croissant. While neither was bad, I would also not classify them as memorably delicious. The coffee was meh, the ham and eggs were just right and the croissant was both fluffy and flaky just as it should be. So whats holdimg it back? Yuppers the Hollandaise-way too thin and runny for my tastse and really tasteless unfortunately. It looked and tasted like bland yellow Half&Half. That being said, I will return, at least to check out the bakery case's goodies.

Great experience here. There are lots of different choices and the prices are very reasonable for it all. My husband and I had bagels with lox and cream cheese and it was good. We also took some croissants home and a pumpkin whoopie pie. The pumpkin whoopie pie was out of this world. The filling was delicious and the pie was extremely moist with a great pumpkin flavor. Would be a regular if it were closer.

Colin K.
We went twice and the experience was great both times. At first, waiting in a line out the door is off putting. But they are efficient and after ordering, your food is out very quickly. Between the two visits, we had a bacon egg and cheese croissant, bacon egg and cheese bagel, breakfast panini, grits with cheese, pecan pie and the bread pudding. All of the items were outstanding, but the breakfast panini and bread pudding really stood out. Also, the flavored coffee of the day is scrumptious. We had caramel cream the first day and raspberry mocha the next. The caramel cream was certainly the best, but the raspberry was good too. All in all they're very friendly, the operation runs smoothly, the prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. If you go, it's worth the wait.

Craving bagels and we were in a rush so I grabbed some breakfast sandwiches to go. The guy (manager) taking my order was downright strange and when he messed up my order he got relegated to making coffee. The bagels themselves weren't terrible, but I wish they had cheese bagels. There was no american cheese so I got swiss and the wife got cheddar. Ham, egg and swiss on a bagel turned out fantastic. Not bad for a down south bagel I guess!

Easy place for breakfast. Nice decor and character. Food is quick and simple. The sandwiches were nice, but the quiche was just reheated in a microwave which didn't taste that good.
(3)
Omar S.
Surprisingly good, inexpensive, and local. We stopped here two times for breakfast on a recent visit to the Historic District. Friendly staff, fast service, reasonable prices. Hot dishes were generous (one dish is enough for two people with moderate appetites to split), iced coffee and espresso were decent, orange juice wasn't pulpy. Pecan pie was very good (not oversweet or overly set). Mini whoopie pie is the right size for a taste (a whole one is way too much sugar). Everything was fresh and good. Only complaint would be the lack of hot sauce / spice for the egg-based dishes. Definitely recommended.
(5)
Cristian B.
Croissants. Wow. Delicious. Nice atmosphere, friendly workers, fast service, AND really good food. I had the egg croissant with spinach and yikes.... Don't think I've ever had a croissant this good. It was so buttery, soft, and flakey. Perfect portions and balances flavors.

Matt F.
Great Place! We had the Eggetarian, a bowl of delicious homemade grits and a spinach and feta croissant. Breakfast all day! Plus they are dog friendly on the patio. Staff was extremely helpful.

Could use some competition in the area. The seating arrangement is very unclear at Goose Feathers-- typically in casual deli restaurants like this, patrons can choose their own seat. So, when we entered, I had my daughter who was suffering from a migraine while traveling with us sit down at a table immediately with plans to order for her. I kid you not she was asked to stand up as she had not ordered yet. We certainly would've left if it hadn't been for needing to feed our hungry family. Their policy, regardless of on par food, reflects poor manners and misinformation.
(3)
Hansje G.
We were greeted at the door with menus. After a little bit of confusion we figured out how to order. The cappuccino was excellent. The "birds nest" was a little bland and the grits were a little soupy. Other then that everything was great.

The first morning in Savannah we awoke starving and wanting breakfast. We were afraid that it was too late to order breakfast but we were right on time! Service was impeccable let me say first off. From order taking to bussers clearing plates, I was impressed. I've been to fine dining establishments were the service was less attentive and completely lacking. Definitely reminded me I was in the south. Everyone was so polite and genuinely nice. I digress though, let's get to the food! I ordered a croissant breakfast sandwich and truth be told I can't remember anything else. I know my boyfriend was eating but I was so wrapped up in this fluffy, tasty breakfast that I just blanked out. The croissant was perfectly buttery and flaky. Not crumbling apart or dry at all. My fingertips just melted right into the bread. The eggs were well seasoned and the cheese and bacon just made me happy! Perfect way to start the day!

I had the egg croissant with sausage and a latte. Great way to start our day. Very friendly staff!

A bit of a long wait but staff keep a close eye on the line, distribute menus and answer questions so that by the time you are at the counter to order you have a solid idea of what you want. Counter staff very friendly and helpful, no sour faces or fake smiles here. Food is beyond delicious, all egg options were amazing, grits is solid and the fruit and berries were beautiful and fresh. They do have some gluten-free options, including gf bagels and toast, which was a big plus for us. Highly recommend, esp if you snag a seat outside in nice weather or inside by the window if its raining. This was an unexpected huge hit with the whole family.

Angie K.
On my way to Papillote, I saw a line around the corner, and I had to stop by. The Ellis Square location and the sheer convenience of variety makes Goose Feather's a popular destination for folks. We tried the Shrimp and Grits, Bird's Nest (poached eggs in grits with cheese and salsa), and a Turkey and Cheese Croissant. Nothing was that great, honestly, but it wasn't that bad either. I advise you to avoid the stuffed croissants as they are premade and oily. The coffee wasn't anything special. If you're a tourist (as I was), this place is good to visit if you are looking for reasonably priced items that are good for on-the-go.

Came here for breakfast at the tip of fellow Yelper! Karley :) Parking was easy since it was a Monday and not yet lunch time. SO and I decided on a round of OJ's, a bowl of grits, ham, a sausage egg and cheese croissant and I had the eggs benedict. O...M...G... those eggs benedict were amazing! It is so hard to find a place that can do poached eggs right! The croissant was huge! The portions were very generous (seriously, you can share the bowl of grits between 2 people!). The service was so nice and friendly, we never felt like we were being rushed out. It was such a nice way to start our day at the beach. the prices were great too, you can share a plate or have one all to yourself and your wallet would barely notice. I can't wait to go back.

Ordered a tomato,basil, onion and avocado quiche. It was amazing and low priced for the quality. The cappuccino that I ordered was okay. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and the employees were exceptionally nice and attentive. If I pass by Savannah I will be visiting again.

Danny A.
The place was crowded and the line was kind of long, but the food was good. We had the spinach & feta quiche which was good, and the Turkey Reuben. The Reuben was good, it had a different style which was creative, but it had a bit too much oil. It wasn't too bad just a bit. The bread also had too many little herbs that got stuck to my fingers. The Eggetarian Sandwich was too squishy and the flavor was a bit bland, it just tasted like pesto.
(3)
Stella M.
Great coffee (Georgia pecan coffee) and quick breakfast options. Prices are similar to Einstein's or your typical bagel shop. Great deals if you like small orders like me, I ordered two poached eggs and it came with toast and preserves- less than $4. Right by a lot of great sights downtown too. I highly recommend it for a quick and not so heavy bite to eat. You can save money and room for a heavier meal later ;)

Ashleigh L.
I'm giving this place 4 stars because my boyfriend loved it. On my own, I'd give it 3 stars. I had the Eggetarian with cheese grits which were all fine, but nothing to write home about. The cheese on the grits was not melted and I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to get any flavor out of the grits. The Eggetarian was fine, but a little bland. My boyfriend had the Eggs Benedict, which he raved about. He also got the oven roasted potatoes on the side, and they were phenomenal. By far the best thing I ate while there. I'd probably go back, but more to please my boyfriend and get a decent meal at a cheap price. Also, don't let the line discourage you if you do choose to go - it goes quickly and there's a surprising amount of seating inside.

The decaf coffee is SO good here! But don't ask for iced coffee, it's way watered down. You get free refills, which is always a plus. Service was very friendly and welcoming. Since we were here during the summer, there wasn't a long line. Giving a lower rating for a few reasons: 1) I couldn't remember which place this was. If it was super memorable, I'd be able to write a review now. My memory doesn't suck that much lol. 2) The bread pudding was a huge disappointment. Granted, we took it to go, since it was too early to have bread pudding. Still, it was not very palatable. I can eat bread pudding that's hot or cold, I'm not picky. This just wasn't that appetizing. 3) Eggs were ok, but nothing special. The roasted potatoes were good, but not very memorable either. Cute concept, cute place, super nice staff. But the food I received was just ok. Prices were fair, though!

Oh, the atmosphere is wonderful, relaxing, sunny, and warm. The people here are great, very welcoming! The food Is delicious. I had the "birds nest", a wonderful bowl of perfectly cooked grits, poached eggs with homemade salsa and the most delectable white cheddar cheese. I was going to take a picture but I ate it up! You will not go wrong coming here!!!!

Douglas W.
I've been a couple times now. The coffee is average to not very good. They didn't know what Swiss water processing was. I tried a croissant and it was doughy and greasy and just plain awful. It's a nice looking place and everyone there is completely invested in your experience but I don't think there is anyone there that knows a great deal about food. The taste level is really low. It's convenient to downtown and there aren't a lot of choices so we ended up there again and now I remember why I forgot it in the first place.

Do I wanna go again? No thank you. Long line, unusual buns that they call a croissant. even the espresso was just barely palatable... We left, threw our food away and went somewhere else.

Best breakfast place in Savannah. I'm not a foodie by any stretch (I eat to live, not live to eat), but this place's food is something special. They make some of the best egg croissants I've ever had. I've been there about 6 times now and every time it's been great. I was there 3 days ago and had a delicious egg croissant with spinach and it couldn't have been any better. Great staff, beautiful interior, and outdoor tables as well. Located very close to the shops and restaurants of Market Square, Goose Feathers is also in walking distance to a lot of other nice areas. Being in the busier part of town though, parking is a little harder to come by (although parking in Savannah really is cheap when you find it), but that shouldn't deter you much. If you want a more local residential breakfast experience you might try Clary's. Their food is a little bit of a step down, but the place is wonderful and worth a stop for sure at some point. Bottom line, Goose Feathers is easily the place I recommend to folks looking for a great casual breakfast without any fuss. If you're staying along Bay or River street, definitely this is the place. But even if you're a little further away, it's worth the trip.

Nicole W.
This place was worth the wait in line! The eggs benedict were perfect! the hollandaise sauce was creamy, the ham was salty and thinly sliced so it was overpowering. I added 2 slices of tomato for some color and all of that in between a buttery flakey croissant. Mmmm brunch doesnt get better than that. It was a decento protion but I had a cup of fresh fruit and it was a perfect meal. The coffee was ok, but I went for the food not the coffee.
(5)
Patty W.
Is there a wait? Most likely yes. Is it worth it? Yes! Even though the line looks like it will take forever, it doesn't. The staff moves at a fast pace and is pretty quick about getting the orders out. Plus, you can browse through the menu and decide on what you want before ordering. There is also an option of ordering online or calling ahead for the dreadful waiters. We were given 2 huge croissant sandwiches stuffed with eggs, sausage, and cheese. They were buttery good. The bread pudding has its originality. It had a nice sweet texture to it. I am going to try the hot chocolate if I make an appearance again. Probably a couple more pastries too ;)
(4)
Annie L.
The carribean clam chowder was delicious. It was perfectly creamy and loaded with veggies. The bread served with the soup was perfect, but I wished they gave a bigger helping of bread because I ran out pretty quickly! I also tried their club sandwich. I was pleasantly surprised with lean pieces of bacon (is that possible?) that was still crispy and delicious. The sandwich was pretty large. I also ordered the baked sweet potato, which had a "holiday" feel to it. 1 club sandwich + 1 cup of soup + 1 baked sweet potato = $12. Don't be scared by the line that may be out the door...the line moves very quickly. They also hand out menus when you are waiting in line. Very efficient and quick service!

Stopped for lunch at 12:30 and waited in line out to sidewalk 10 minutes. Counter staff was efficient, courteous and helpful. Chicken curry soup very tasty but lacked chicken. Bread fresh. Italian panini sandwich quite nice. Coffee good and served in a lovely GF mug. Con: No wireless connectivity...c'mon. ..it is 2015!!!

Goose Feathers was an impulse stop as we had just left our tour trolley and was in need of immediate roughage. My bf had the map and continued to pick eateries which requires a 4 or 5 block hike and so I simply Yelped the closet establishment and this was it. It was typical fast cafe lunch food, which I have an appreciation for - beats greasy fast food. I had a potato soup and quiche, soup was lovely, quiche was fairly bland but edible. Bf had a sandwich (I don't remember what was in it, but he wasn't overly enthused by it), and a vegetable and ham soup, which was the most delicious thing of everything we ordered. I saw a lot of students using this place and appreciated how local it was from the main downtown area. Probably would go back there it was I in Savannah because there are just so many options to eat out, but this place is ok for eating on the run.

Lillian E.
I was there on a Sunday and the line was out the door! We waited for about 20 minutes and it was definitely worth the wait. I got the eggs Benedict (which they serve "savannah style" on a croissant) and my boyfriend had the birds nest. They were both FANTASTIC. We shared a cinnamon bun as well, so at the end we were stuffed but content. Great food and great atmosphere. If there's a line, wait in it---it's well worth it!

I can assure you that with a last name like Eaton, I am not only an expert in dinner, but breakfast also, so trust me when I recommend a restaurant. Goose feathers gets a great recommendation from this food lover! We stopped in for breakfast, 4 adults and two children. The line was a little long, but that's expected in a restaurant that is great. The fresh baked pastries were spot on, and were served immediately at the counter. Since I had two trays to bring to my table the cashier asked if I need help. Very nice! The breakfast burrito I ordered was delightful! Eggs, turkey sausage, and spinach, with a great house made salsa over top. You can build your own burrito. Te value was exceptional to feed 6 people. The only negative is this: get all you may need off the bat, because if you think you may want something else, (my son wanted some sliced fresh fruit after we already ordered) you will need to wait in the long line again.

As you talk up the street you first notice a line extending out the doors. It is normal but your wait won't be long while you look at all the delicious items on their menu. The bread pudding is by far the best in the world. My wife have the black bean burrito, it was so fresh and flavorful!

Karen T.
We ate here a few times for breakfast, they were very friendly and the location was pretty good. I would give them 3.5 stars if I could. Food was good, not great, the special coffee was good but the regular was just so-so. Only thing I didn't get is that they wanted to take your tray the second your food was delivered. You were welcome to eat and drink your coffee, they weren't rushing you out, but for whatever reason they wanted the trays the second we were done with them, just kind of strange. If you're by the square and looking for a breakfast spot, I would certainly give them a shot. It was also nice that they had some tables out front where you could sit if you wanted to people watch/watch the square.

Fast, quality food. The seating outside is covered, so dining in or out is good in most any weather. I had a basic bacon/egg/cheese breakfast sandwich in a croissant and it was great. My boyfriend ordered the birds nest and the grits were pretty runny for our liking. Great service.

Do you have any idea how amazing it feels to go into a restaurant and see words like "Gluten-free" and "organic" on a restaurant menu? As a health food nut, there is nothing I loathe more than showing up somewhere with maybe one vegetarian option, something that came out of a freezer bag, et cetera. At Goose Feathers, the menu is absolutely unbelievably good. Everything come made-to-order and is fresh and homemade. They have something for everybody. The service is exceptional, as well. Our group of six was doted on by the staff, which is highly unusual in a casual dining atmosphere. We will definitely be back again and again!

Gina H.
Simple cafe with great food and great coffee. We got the eggs Benedict Savannah Style. It was simple but really yummy, especially the home made croissant it was on. I also bought the carrot, walnut breakfast bread with the intent to just try it and ended up eating the entire thing!!!

Jamie B.
Stopped by this popular spot for brunch. The line gets long but don't be deterred as it moves fast. They have a small troop of busboys that keep the tables clean. You can really make your own meal here. I had an apple cinnamon oatmeal, bagel, oj, and coffee. Order at the counter and they deliver. It's a comfortable, casual place. Staff is friendly for the most part. Nobody really checked in to see if I was happy but maybe that's just not their thing. House newspapers are available too.

Brunch was dreamy~ my family of 7 had 3 waffles (crispy and covered with strawberries and a generous heap of whipped cream), Eggs Benedict (incredible), Salmon Quiche (a little small but delectable), coffee (could be stronger), and my new favorite Eggetarian. Casual atmosphere, great, friendly service. Can't wait to go back !

Busy morning venue with cute patio tables for street watching. Located in the heart of downtown, a block away from the plaza, walking distance to the waterfront. Very efficient service, line moves quickly just grab a menu when you come in and know what you want by the time you get to the counter. They have such a variety to choose from it was hard to narrow it down. The croissant breakfast sandwich was good but their Yaourt Bio Au Miel (yogurt with honey), Belgium waffles, eggs Benedict, whoopie pies, quiches looks just as inciting. Just need to go back and try them out!
(4)
Sam M.
Walking up to the cafe and seeing a line out the door and down the block was equally as exciting and disappointing. The line was about 10 minutes long and at the end we placed our order. We had the breakfast burrito which was good, but a little bit too wet and doughy. The egg croissant was good as well, but neither dish was exceptional. Good, not great. The highlight was the iced peanut butter mocha, which was absolutely awesome.
(4)
Alexandra P.
I had the eggs Benedict - Savannah style, which comes with ham and on a croissant, it was good, satisfying. But the four stars comes in because the frozen mocha is the best I ever had and there wasn't a huge line or wait like most brunch places in the area.

Enjoyed the Eggetarian with Ham ~ DELICIOUS!!! Just a few blocks off Bay St./City Market. In or outdoor seating with a wide variety of breakfast choices. Be open to the recommendation of the restaurant, they didn't steer us wrong.

We were in Savannah only two nights, we ate breakfast here twice!!! Yes it's THAT GOOD! Besides the perfectly cooked breakfast, they are very friendly and accommodated my grandsons very serious gluten intolerance to the point of slicing his gluten free bagel with a special knife that was not used on regular bagels. There is something for everyone here...the grits were good, the Rosemary potatoes amazing, crispy bacon and poached eggs perfect! House made croissants were delicious, sweet and savory! There was a line out the door both times BUT do NOT leave, the line goes so fast...they have this cafe down to a science, they get you in, feed you awesome food and you get you out quickly so if you only have an hour for lunch no problem! We'll be back!

Exactly what we were looking for after a cold morning walking around. The food provided great flavors with fresh ingredients. The sweet potato was one of the best parts of the day. Very friendly staff and a quick moving line.

Yum! Don't be intimidated by the line - it was really long when we arrived but only took about 10 minutes to get through. Huge menu with lots of tasty choices, and really good food! Gluten-free bread is available, even though it's not listed on the menu. I loved my breakfast of quiche, grits (plain but good), and pecan pie (ain't no shame). The highlight was the pecan pie ... probably one of the best slices I've ever had.

Cute cafe with good food. You place your order and pay at the counter. Then seat yourself and they bring you your meal. Very open airy clean seating area...really nice staff. Lots of fresh bakery items available - bagels, donuts, croissant variations, pies and cakes. Had the eggs benedict which is served Savannah style which means its served on a fresh buttery croissant....OMG! Yeah I can get wit this :)...the featured coffee was peppermint mocha...yum...and the waffle...yum again. This is my new fav spot. I can not wait to work my way thru their menu :D

Goose feathers is really good! It's a unique spot in Savannah and isn't totally sit-down and you can get things to go. Everything I've had there has been good, and the cheese grits are top notch. Definitely recommend it for a quicker breakfast spot!

Fabulous food, service and prices. We loved our selection: quiche, sweet potatoes, bacon, fresh fruit, fresh lemonade, pecan pie and bread pudding.

I thought this place was okay... I tried their Breakfast Croissant Sandwich, which was pretty good. Their Stuffed Croissant was also okay. Both croissant sandwiches were buttery and definitely fill you up in the morning. People seemed to really like the Bread Pudding, but I just found this to be alright. Overall, I wasn't terribly impressed with this spot. I think it's a decent spot to visit if you're in the area or if you want something quick and casual. The service was very nice and attentive, even though you do order at the counter.

Lines, lines, lines... there's a reason for it. They do their best though... menus given out so you can hit the order station prepared, and then you move on to a different station to pay... pretty efficient system but they still don't have enough tables to handle the throughput of customers! We were visiting from out of town and saw the place while wandering the night before. Compared to the offerings at our hotel, the "Andaz," this place was a dream come true and by comparison cheap as dirt for Heavenly bites. Both my partner and I ordered variations on Eggs Benedict on a croissant an "Eggetarian" and a straight Eggs Benedict. Mine (the Eggetarian) was absolutely perfect and cooked just right, eggs nice and runniy poached... my partner's not so much. Gordon Ramsey would have gone ape! "It's the customer's privilege to break their egg! " Hers, alas, were done hard... overcooked.. but STIll too yummy to bother sending back Would definitely recommend and do again and again. Just slather me in Hollandaise and call me Momma!

Erica T.
Delicious, quick and efficient! What more could you want in a breakfast place. I had the daily special, a Forsyth, it was a delicious egg with cheese, onions and peppers on a croissant. It was perfect! My husband enjoyed the sandwich he ordered as well. Very good coffee. Warm and inviting atmosphere.

Carolina M.
This place is to die for. I went to visit Savannah for the second time and arrived there just in time for breakfast. I definitely recommend the Birds Nest. I'm not a fan of grits at all but man oh man do they make the best grits with a generous amount of cheese. I also recommend the breakfast panini and peach mini whoopie. The atmosphere is very cozy as well.

Stopped here during a visit from New Orleans. There is good reason that the locals eat here. The food is great, and inexpensive. My buddy ordered the Eggetarian and I ordered the Birds Nest and Belgian waffle with syrup and strawberries. The waffles were golden brown with a nice crispness to the outside, the strawberries were fresh. My poached eggs were perfect. The grits were light and not oversalted, which really let the flavor of the cheese come through. My friend's Eggtarian was amazingly good. I would definitely recommend this eatery. I am surprised at how affordable the prices were given the quality of the food. I wish they would open up a location in New Orleans. I would be a frequent patron.

Blake H.
Our FAVorite breakfast place! Fantastic breakfast sandwich with pesto, cinnamon buns and sticky buns (must arrive early to snag one of those), grits, etc. I also love to grab a cup of hot cocoa to walk around with post breakfast. Wait can be long, but worth the wait!

On our roadtrip through the South I was insistent we stop in Savannah. With only one hour to spend, our condensed tour of this quaint little town led us to Goose Feathers, where we figured we could get a quick lunch and dine on the sidewalk. After ordering at the counter, we were promptly brought a ham sandwich for the bf and a spinach salad, add salmon, for me. Both our meals were pretty straight forward and tasty. My salad ($5) plus salmon ($3) was quite the steal, given that it was a good portion of salmon. We both agreed that $16 for lunch for two people, plus great service, and a pretty sidewalk setting made for a nice meal. I'd recommend Goose Feathers to anyone looking for a quick bite in Savannah.

Great fresh sandwiches. Belgium waffles are perfect and decadent. Staring at the fresh baked goods and saying "ooo... should I? Yes!

Wonderful restaurant. My sister and I enjoyed our first visit so much, we came back the next day. Don't worry about the line out the door. The line moves fast and the staff are very good at clearing tables and ensuring there is a seat for you after you order your food. The apple and ham croissants are fabulous. The coffee, mocha, and cappuccino are served hot and tasted very good. We also had the oatmeal, egg croissant sandwich with ham/spinach and the club sandwich. All very delicious. The service is fantastic and the staff attentive.

great place to grab a quick bite to eat. the pastries all looked and smelled fantastic. I chose the breakfast burrito special which was great! it was a busy spot with a long line but the staff was quick to turn around tables. The place was very clean, staff was very friendly, food was great. highly recommended!

Really great breakfast menu and was packed, so others were also enjoying the food. I got the oatmeal with walnuts and apples and was delicious and the man got the egg and sausage croissant. Both of us really enjoyed it!!! I love my coffee so had to order a large Mocha, however it was TERRIBLE, didn't finish it (and I'm usually a two cup kind of person), so don't recommend the Mocha, but everything else was spot on!

Sergio C.
This is a tasty affordable place to have breakfast or lunch. The place can be very packed. I had a egg, cheese and bacon croissant. It was good, but not out of this world. It's a nice place to go if you want an inexpensive bit in Savannah's historic district. I didn't have to wait in a crazy line, but if I did I would have been a little bewildered as what the wait was for. What I had was good but not out of this world.

Victorious D.
I'm going to give them three stars. The customer service was wonderful and friendly. But my sandwich was sad and disappointing. It felt like it was without substance. I don't remember what it was called, but has sprouts avocado and spinach. Basically I felt like it was a tremendous amount of effort to eat...but I was going to starve because it took more energy to eat than I would get it from it.

Courtney T.
Very busy spot! Just stopped in to really get a quick pick me up morning beverage and use the restroom. We decided to grab a bite and sit down. I got the home made hot chocolate-which wasn't very chocolaty. I was disappointed. Grabbed a bagel. that had a touch of cinnamon to it. The pastries looked great. But sorry Goose-Starbucks has you beat on the hot chocolate. I was trying to put cream cheese on my bagel when the busser just wanted to take my tray. Maybe I was sensitive because I was tired and road weary from travel...but jeez let me get my plate off the tray. Must be a good spot because it was busy. I could pass on this though. Sorry.

Stopped here for a couple sandwiches and a slice of pie. Tried the Barnard club which had perfectly crispy bacon and fresh veggies. Got it on sourdough only complaint was it was a little heavy on mustard even though we ordered it light. Also had the Telfair on sourdough-no complaints there very refreshing. The pecan pie topped it off and I would recommend saving for a sweet their dessert display had several seasonal offerings. Wish the sandwiches came with a side but we still got filled up. Will definitely stop in next time we're in town.

Leigh N.
OK, the first thing you should know is that this place makes their own croissants. That's right... buttery bread goodness from scratch. I highly recommend the Eggetarian and the bread pudding. Pretty good coffee too! Everything was reasonably priced. This is the place I'd want to come back to for breakfast in Savannah. This place is popular so there may be a line, but it moves fairly quickly as you order at the counter.
(5)
Brian C.
Crowded, line out front; however, the line moved quickly - very efficient place. Ordered Organic yogurt with honey and egg and spinach croissant - the spinach was not fresh spinach, but the frozen kind with onions. Not a fan of this type of spinach, but it was still pretty yummy. Croissant was really tasty.

Don't know why I am writing this. Goose Feathers is the place to go. Food is excellent, the line is out the door and around the block. A shining star on the Savannah culinary landscape. If in Savannah or close by you must stop and enjoy.

This restaurant was awesome! Very close to hotel row on Bay St. Friendly order takers, interacted with my baby, seemed genuinely excited to serve. Food was excellent, had the eggel bagel sandwich and cheese grits. Quick service, clean restaurant, hard to beat!

Stopped here for a quick bite upon our arrival in Savannah. Very friendly, nice iced tea. I had the special (a turkey sandwich with craisins, cheese & apple slices on a baguette). Hubby had the "Club Sandwich" which was also served on a baguette. The most stand out thing about the food here was how fresh the bread was and how friendly the staff was. We would recommend Goosefeathers to anyone looking to grab a quick bite to eat. We would go back!

Jodie K.
Absolutely amazing waffle adulterated by corn syrup! Not sure why it comes up as an organic restaurant on Yelp if you can't get real syrup. The scrambled eggs remind me of hotel buffet eggs, I guess that's alright if you're into that sort of thing. Otherwise great place I have to remember is for the croissants.

The wife loves breakfast so we made the trek from the Mansion on Forsyth. We were wondering around when we remembered the line out the door the day before. We walked up and straight on in...no line! I got a breakfast bagel sandwich with the rosemary potatoes. They were both really good and the sandwich was so good. I couldn't eat all the bagel, but ate the egg and sausage out of it. The bagel was fresh and soft, just too much bread for me. Wife got banana nut waffle and said it was delicious. We were both happy and will return again.

Brontë B.
Fantastic! The employees were excellent and really nice/helpful. Some of the best service ever, even though it was really busy. The only problem I found was the item (a cream croissant) I ordered wasn't what I had anticipated. It was good, just not what I thought I ordered.

I had read up on breakfast and lunch in Savannah and spotted Goose Feathers right off. It did not disappoint. We had lunch. The chicken bacon mushroom melt with havarti was delicious. My spouse had the salmon quiche, which she loved. Corn chowder was creamy and hearty. Even the pasta salad was light and allowed the pasta taste to come through. I was not so impressed with the bread pudding, which came highly recommended. Too much nutmeg for my taste but the cup of whipped cream that accompanied it more than made up for it! The chocolate bear claw(ette- only $1.25) was superb. It is croissant flaky dough with a sliver of chocolate in the center. The ganache on top was truly icing on the cake. I loved it. Oh, the counter service was a big plus for us-- fast, VERY friendly, Southern hospitality, no tip.

Andrea L.
Southern hospitality at its best. Food was amazing as well. Eggs Benedict on croissant two thumbs up!

We were in Savannah for 4 days and we ate breakfast here twice. The egg and bacon on croissant was the bomb! The line to order was out the door but the line moves fast. The staff were super nice. I had red potatoes to go with my sandwich and I've had better, but they were still ok. I would recommend a visit if you're in Savannah.

Went here for lunch and the lunch food was actually very good. The disappointment was with the cupcakes. YUCK! The were like muffins with icing. Super dense not moist at all.

I was taken here by a local and found it to be a cute place with pretty good breakfast, I ordered the belgian waffle with fruit and bacon. I also had a croissant donut which was sinful. The others had the same and one had scrambled eggs. We all did coffee or juice. I will say it seemed a little pricey, the bill for 3 of us was $51. There was a line formed when we got there but it moved quickly.

David B.
Went to Goose Feathers Cafe for breakfast on a visit to a Savannah after seeing it on a Yelp. Arrived around 9:00 am on a Tuesday. We thought it was a little overpriced for food you had to wait in line to order, which at times was all the way out the door. We ordered the holiday special drink, a peppermint mocha, and it was super expensive but good. Food wise, we ordered a bread pudding, sticky bun, and two of the Eggs Benedict-Savannah style. The desserts were delicious! The eggs benedicts were ok....loved them on a croissant, but we felt that the ham layered on top of the croissant was too close to processed lunch meat...and for being so expensive, we were a little disappointed. Don't forget to grab your silverware while in line, because trying to get back to that area is difficult with all the people waiting in line.

A solid amazing 4.5 stars! My partner had the Ogelthorpe and I had the Catawba. We couldn't resist a slice of homemade quiche and a mug of coffee as well. Fresh ingredients made for great sandwiches and the service was good. Entire staff was courteous and welcoming. Glad we got there before the morning rush!

Came for breakfast with two friends while we were in Savannah for a conference. So glad we decided on Goose Feathers vs. another run-of-the-mill breakfast shop. Coffee was delicious, and the bottomless refills were much appreciated. :) I had the granola and milk with fruit and was not disappointed. Delicious! I could have eaten about 10 other things on the menu; it all looked delicious. The staff was super-friendly and upbeat on a Thursday morning. I actually think we were served by the woman who owns the place. She was SO nice, and she gave us a few suggestions of places to visit while we bummed around the cute little downtown area. It's that kind of customer service that sets Goose Feathers above the rest. Cute little location with tons of natural light. Helpful men coming around to bus tables and clean the already very clean space. I wish I had enough room to try one of their whoopie pies! Thanks for the positive experience of Savannah on my first morning there. It definitely set the tone for a great weekend. :)

Wide variety of pastries and most of them are pretty tasty, but when they're not fresh you can definitely tell. The staff **behind the counter** give off a weird vibe. It seems as if they are not being genuinely friendly and they're forcing their smiles.

Solid cafe style breakfast. I had the croissant bacon egg and cheese sandwich with one of their coffee specials. Coffee is great, the croissandwich was amazing and the coffee cup we bought makes for a pretty good souvenir to take home from savannah.

When you order at a counter, you expect that the service will be lacking, however, Goose Feathers has EXCELLENT service and a low price menu!! I have been twice and the food is great! The service is exceptional and the atmosphere is pleasing.

Service was awesome. Food was okay, but for the same price we've had much better. I got the eggtarian & my husband got the Bernard club & we got a fruit cup and scrambled eggs for our little guy. The eggs were almost slimy and our little guy wouldn't eat them. The fruit was fresh though & our sandwiches were good just nothing special as we had expected from other reviews. They did have a big selection.

Great location by Ellis Square. Their chicken ginger sandwich is out of this world. Portions are a little small, so get the full sandwich serving (as opposed to half size). Their fresh gazpacho was delicious.
(4)
Holly S.
Feeling sick from the heavy, greasy, fried fare in Savannah, we were happy to find a lunch spot with a lighter cafe menu. The selection is a standard cafe menu, including basic salads, sandwiches, panini, flatbread sandwiches, croissants, desserts, and assorted coffee and tea. Nothing new or innovative, but all fresh and tasty. The woman taking the orders was very pleasant and asked if we'd like to add, swap, or omit anything from our order. Options are great. The food was fresh and good, but the iced coffee was weak and terrible, despite the additional espresso shot they suggested. Shocking for a cafe.

Bryce R.
This review is from a tourist's point of view Went to Savannah on a trip, best lunch I had was here, the wait staff was friendly (except one waiter was a little creepy), the atmosphere was upbeat. The food is the most important thing though, the Salmon BLT was absolutely amazing. The Club was great, and the Spinach Chicken salad with Raspberry dressing was fantastic, would highly recommend this place.

Dana M.
Really loved this spot for breakfast. I had an amazing croissant with egg, cheese, and turkey sausage. I loved that turkey sausage was an option. It was a very generous sandwich. The croissants were fresh and perfect. I also had the rosemary potatoes - lightly seasoned - comes with sour cream and scallions on the side. The mocha coffee I had was delicious - topped with whipped cream and cocoa powder - beats any coffee I've had from Starbucks. The line was out the door but moved quickly, service was friendly and efficient.

This place is so cute and it's great breakfast food and atmosphere. The owner takes pride in his business, and everytime we go, we see him bussing tables and making conversation just like the rest of the employees. I love the heart he takes in his business. We've pretty much made it an obligation to go whenever we find ourselves passing through Savannah: The Candy Kitchen, visit River Street, and Goose Feathers. No doubt.
(5)
Lisa G.
Exactly what I was looking for - really cute cafe that sells brunch all day. I had the waffle which was really good (made with butter) bacon was good and I had the maple coffee. Even better, everyone was super friendly and helpful. Sunny spot on a rainy day :) ... But they have a large awning if you want to sit outside anyway :)

I know this place gets a lot of great reviews, which is why I went. I just like great food and happy to pay whatever for it if it's good. For $13 I came away with a variation on what Eggs Benedict usually is (it's served inside a croissant), a Latte, and an 8oz OJ, so not expensive. Unfortunately the coffee was terrible - incredibly weak, more like coffee flavored water, and to be honest tasted like filter coffee which I find revolting at the best of times. Eggs Benedict - mine unfortunately had a hunk of shell in it, and once that stuff gets in your teeth you just have to grin and crunch your way through it. Taste was ok but not amazing Eggs Benedict and the croissant is not the light, buttery texture it should have been. I hate giving negative reviews because this is someone's business and their livelihood after all, but I wouldn't rate this place nor go back.
(1)
Nicole B.
This was the most disgusting breakfast I've had in awhile. I'm pretty sure the sausage, egg, and cheese croissant would've tasted the same if I had purchased it at a nasty gas station. I almost got sick while walking out of the restaurant. I understand that it's an express cafe, but the quality of the food should NOT be that poor. The latte was basically black gross coffee, no foam on the top. The grits were bland and a tad bit watery. I could see a worker eating something out of a box in the kitchen. If you want a delicious breakfast, steer clear from this place. Savannah has much better to offer.

Sara E.
Absolutely wonderful! It was busy but there was plenty of seating and a very attentive staff. They really keep the line moving but they don't rush you out. The food was delicious and hot. I will be going back!!

Fresh, fast and hot. Something for everyone - meaters and vegers. A little noisy and busy, and a bit too warm on the premises...owing to line out the front door. But worthwhile for the food and service. ** Breakfast served all day long**

Stacey W.
Byfar the best damn waffle I've ever had. Ever. The prices are fair, and the location can't be beat! A short walk from downtown hotels, so you're able to stumble there after a long night of getting acquainted with Savannah. The line was long, but moved quickly. My favorite part was that the owner herself served us! (I know because I looked up the website.)

Joel T.
This place was packed during lunch time, but our food came out very quickly. My Italian panini was tasty and they also serve breakfast options into the afternoon. This is an excellent eatery for a casual lunch when exploring Savannah.

Ellie B.
This place was pretty disappointing. I ordered the eggs benedict and the croissant was good, but that Hollandaise, oof. Maybe from a packet? It really ruined the whole sandwich. My husband got a pumpkin spice latte and it came with a gigantic pile of whipped cream on top (he had no clue otherwise he would have nixed it). Once he got that off of it the coffee was really bland. The radio/music they were piping in made me want to stab my ear drums.
(2)
Karen T.
This is a very popular place for breakfast. I was heading to the airport so just stopped by to pick something up and there was a long line out the door. Definitely call ahead if you want to get take-out! I got the tomato-avocado quiche and bread pudding. The quiche was very good. The fresh tomato and avocado made the quiche taste lighter and not feel as dense or heavy. The bread pudding was good but nothing that really makes it stand out.
(3)
Jess P.
First of all, I got the black bean burrito and it was phenomenal. The price was fairly reasonable, but I probably wouldn't have stopped in if I wasn't on vacation. Perhaps my biggest complaint is no free refills of lemonade. While I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, my two friends who both got sandwiches were not so impressed. As we sat behind the window with various TripAdvisor and Yelp award stickers plastered on, they couldn't help but marvel how they got up there.

Prince A.
I liked the feel of this spot and being in business for many years, they were running their operation like clockwork. Being an express cafe, the food is pretty top notch and with a bottomless coffee mug, my breakfast was stimulating! Love this spot, everything looks great, smells great and tastes superb. Oh, and the bread pudding?! Game over! I am coming back here again and its gonna be bread pudding for breakfast
(4)
Mike W.
I can't say I've ever been as impressed with Goose Feathers as many reviewers here apparently are: honestly, I've found it decent, at best good, but not at all exceptional nor innovative in a city that has a wealth of lunch and/or breakfast options. The sandwiches and other dishes are pretty standard--reubens, bagels, foccacia bread sandwiches and the like and they're ok but, once again, rather plain and standard. I suppose if that's what you seek, you'll be pleased. Certainly they must be doing something right given the rave reviews and the fact they've been in business at least a decade or better. Their location is pretty ideal, too. For lunch though, I have to feel there are better options such as Zunzi's.

I've had withdraws over this mug. So much so that I finally decided to take the drive back to Savannah and now I finally have it.... What? You think I'm kidding? Ok, yes! But not entirely... I may not have driven to Savannah for it, but I didn't have to. Shortly after writing my review I was apologized to by the owners personally. Then some time later (today to be exact). I received a nice chunky package labeled fragile (how much do we love getting things in the mail that are NOT bills?). My package came from Goose Feather, my package was clearly carefully packaged and stuffed, my package included not one, not two, not three, but FOUR Goose Feathers mugs. EEEEK! I guess some might think Goose Feathers bought my 5th star. But truth be told they stole it...my heart that is. And with this gesture they far exceeded earning it. Thank you Beth and Mike. :) You guys are the sweetest! Best, A Happy Customer

Here with some friends for the weekend. This place is amazing! Food is excellent and the service is top notch! Don't be discouraged by the line. It moves wry quickly and the food is worth it. The staff was very kind and pleasant :)

Goosefeathers is a great place to take a load off and people watch. We grabbed some coffees and whoopie pies and parked ourselves on an outdoor table. Being so close to Congress it makes a great people watching spot. The employees we had contact with weren't very friendly. The hazelnut coffee was yummy (with free refills) but the whoopie pies were a disappointment. We tried both the chocolate and strawberry. I must say I make better ones myself! I'm not sure if this is any indication of the rest of their food...

Vivien P.
Cute cafe in the historic district of Savannah. The food was not superb but the great atmosphere makes up for it. Eggs Benedict: Best thing we ordered. The egg was poached perfectly. Belgian Waffle: Eh....was not as crispy and dense as I hoped. Bread Pudding: Had good texture but was lacking in flavor. The girl at the cashier said they would warmed it up for me but I thought it came out not warmed enough Yogurt: they could have dressed the yogurt up a little bit...or at lest give me a full serving. Service: Superb service. We were greeted with a menu as soon as we stepped in the door. Very friendly service.

Order at the counter and serve by the whole staff. I ordered the "Bird's Nest" and really enjoyed it, the salsa really brought the whole dish together. The only negative is more of a pet peeve for me, they serve the coffee in a Styrofoam cup. I personally hate that. We may have to go back to try some of the pastery's.

Ralph A.
I had the eggs Benedict, coffee, and grits and thought they were all pretty good. I thought it was expensive considering the location. I paid $11 dollars for the three things above. Seems like NYC prices. I do appreciate having coffee in a real mug, so kudos for that.

Do not order the shrimp and grits here, they are not authentic. I'm no southern food connoisseur, but I do know that what we got there was not shrimp and grits. The advertised $6.50 shrimp and grits here is basically a bowl of plain grits with lukewarm, flavorless shrimp thrown on top and covered in a sauce that tastes like a mix of beef broth and Chesapeake bay seasoning. The fiance thought the sauce was just white gravy. It was bad. Two bites and we were done. This review is a warning to all those folks new to southern food so that they don't get duped. The real dish is amazing and sadly, Goose Feathers doesn't have it.

Made a bee-line for this place after our TASTE of SAVANNAH Tour Guide, SAM told us how great it was. Goose feathers did not disappoint! We ordered the Bird's Nest with a side of crispy bacon. Heaven! Cheesy grits with 2 poached eggs, homemade salsa, cilantro and Vermont white cheddar were to LIVE for! So good! Highly recommended!

The Eggs Benedict Savannah Style was great and very reasonably priced! I will definitely go back the next time I'm in Savannah!

The line was super long, and there's a good reason for it; the food is worth the wait! The line moved pretty quickly and you aren't allowed to grab a table until you place your order. I ordered the stuffed croissant with turkey and swiss, husband ordered Eggatarian on a sesame bagel, and my son ordered a half portion Belgian waffle. Everything was so delicious that we didn't leave a crumb on our plate. I was secretly hoping my son wouldn't finish his waffle so I could eat the rest, but he devoured it! The service was superb! They were very friendly and attentive. A must visit spot in Savannah!

A must stop for breakfast. The croissants are delicious and moderately priced. Lots of choices feta and spinach, ham and cheese and chocolate are all standouts. My kids loved the waffles topped with soft serve yogurt and a choice of syrup or honey. Plus it's quick to get in and out. Love it!!

While in town for a friend's wedding we found ourselves in Savannah's historic district hunting for breakfast on a beautiful Saturday morning. We turned to Yelp and headed to the best-rated breakfast in town, Goose Feathers. It's a counter-service restaurant that then brings your food out when it's ready. I'm not typically a fan of this concept, but for Goose Feathers, it works. They are highly efficient at moving this line. It was probably 15 people deep when we arrived, and I had ordered, paid and was drinking my coffee in under 10 minutes. Our food arrived in about 10 more minutes (amazing for how busy it was) and we proceeded to munch. We sat outdoors (highly recommended) and enjoyed the people watching along with our breakfast. I had the "Eggetarian" which was two poached eggs, cheddar, pesto, tomatoes on a fresh croissant. Delicious, creamy, a little light on seasoning (personal preference), but full of flavor. My wife had their ham and cheese filled croissant. The dough was flaky, buttery and obviously fresh puff pastry, filled with city ham and melty cheese. Excellent balance. We also split a lemon poppyseed muffin that was more like a popover and was amazing. The only gripes (if any) was the coffee was utterly forgettable, tasted like diner coffee, bland, boring. They do have a multitude of specialty coffee drinks, but they all read as very sweet. (i.e. Pecan Pie Latte, etc.) Also, the place is very busy, but manageable. All in all, we would definitely return to Goose Feathers on our next trip to Savannah, but would probably skip the coffee.

Goose feathers is the BEST! Please come to Atlanta! All of the food was OUTSTANDING, delicious, hot and fresh. The waitstaff was very attentive even though it is not a sit down restaurant. Prices were incredibly reasonable and service moved very quickly. You simply must go if you visit Savannah!

Staff was very friendly and food was great! I got a ginger chicken sandwich and my boyfriend got the bread pudding with some chocolate cherry coffee. Both of us really enjoyed our brunch.

This was so much fun. My husband and I ordered the egg, sausage and cheese croissant and the shrimp and grits. Great brunch sharing plates!

Express cafe it is. They are geared to get you in and fed very efficiently. AND the food is really great! The tuna nicoise is tasty on their baguettes, and the bacon egg croissant is A+.

Goose Feathers was exactly what I was looking for - a fast breakfast that wasn't fast food. My favorite item was the Eggitarian, two poached eggs with pesto, tomato, cheddar, and hollandaise on a croissant. It was oh-so delicious and kept me full until dinner time. Also, their pumpkin spice latte is the best that I've ever had. Waaaay better than Starbucks.

Breakfast panini was awesome. Kinda busy for a Monday morning. I guess that is how you can tell somewhere is popular. I will definitely be back the next time I am in the area.

Really delicious food prepared quickly. I would have given Goosefeathers cafe four stars, however, management reminded me of the soup nazi.

Really, 3.5 stars. Like others stated, this place is quaint. I liked the ambiance. They had lines the whole time I was there. We went this morning on a Thursday morning at 8:45 am. The line was to the door when we got there an stayed that way until we left at 9:45. We were there a bit longer than most of their customers... So I ordered their scrambled eggs with melted cheddar on croissant with ham for $5.55. Really, it was 4.55 plus a $1 for the meat (ham, sausage, or spinach... Possibly something else). They were pretty skimpy on the ham. The sandwich was huge because of the eggs but the ham was thinly sliced deli meat and only a couple pieces... Not evenly spread out. i Was a little disappointed that there was not enough ham. Bread pudding - the bread pudding was quite good. They had a sign that said you should try their famous bread pudding. It was delicious. $3.99 for a bowl. Well worth it. Warm and tasted fresh. Belgian waffle - I didn't order this but my mom and aunt loved it. The one bite I had, was crispy and good. A little on the expensive side for a waffle but ... What do you do? I would go back again. I guess it's not every day you're out at a spot like this... At least me from burby Atlanta. :)

Bread pudding is amazing, very filling. Also tried my husbands Egg Benedict and the flavors all went well together . It was prepared on a croissant . He said it was the best he said he's ever had.

disappointing. we were visiting Savannah for thanksgiving for the first time, and were looking for a nice place to start our morning with. Came here after reading the reviews. At best - nothing to report, the waffles and veggie sandwich were so so. Hot chocolate resembled nothing of chocolate. Little fruit salad with waffle was decent. The only 3 good things: 1. Location. 2. setting and ambiance 3. Staff was friendly. Other then that, not worth what we paid for. Sorry guys :(

This place was super busy. It's a pretty standard breakfast joint with standard prices and standard food. I was neither impressed nor disappointed. Caveat: I didn't get any of the pastries or desserts that they're apparently more famous for.

My fiance' and I went here for breakfast on a Sunday morning a little before 9am. We were able to walk right up to the counter and order. The food was great. I got an egg, cheddar and sausage on a bagel and a blueberry muffin. Both were fresh, warm and delicious. My fiance' got a bagel with cream cheese, lox, and capers and a chocolate croissant both of which were also fantastic. When we left there was a line almost out the door and there was still a good crowd when we walked by later that afternoon. Highly recommend checking it out. Good people and good food.

Husband and I stopped in here for a quick lunch while we were waiting for AAA. (Ah, the myriad joys of owning an old car...) It was quick, but that was pretty much its only virtue. My better half was reminded of an airport food court; I lean more towards a hospital cafeteria. Either way, these are not places you would normally seek out. And neither is Goose Feathers. Firstly, the atmosphere. It's right by City Market, so it's loaded with tourists. They had probably 20 people on staff between the front and back of house on a Sunday afternoon, and everyone was tripping over each other. I was shoved or swept out of the way by two bussers in 5 minutes after we ordered. The counter staff was supremely unfriendly--I've gotten better service at Burger King. Our cashier told my husband that he was taking too long, and then proceeded to skip us. Seriously? Of course, the guy she moved on to was ordering for like 6 people. Okay, I'm going to have a "this is why everyone hates gluten-free people; they complain about everything" moment. Apparently Goose Feathers has gluten-free bread for sandwiches. You wouldn't know it but for a teeny sign by the register. Consequently, I'd already decided to get a side of curried rice salad by the time I saw it, and knew we were going to get passed over in line (again) if I changed my mind. Annoying. Also, I wanted to ask if the tomato bisque were gluten-free, but decided against it because I knew the staff a) didn't know what was in their food, and b) would tell me what they thought I wanted to hear. Lovely. Finally, they had an oatmeal cookie bar that was labeled gluten-free. I KNOW they are not using certified gluten-free oats in this place, which means that bar is NOT gluten-free. It's seriously frustrating when businesses make a half-a**ed effort to have gluten-free items to make a buck, but are careless to the point of deception. When we finally got our food, it was just okay. My husband's croissant sandwich looked like something you could pick up at Parker's, and my rice salad was edible but bland. We booked it out of there and will not be going back.

Horribly mistreated by a staff member. Food was adequate but nothing great. Of course, it may have been tarnished by how upset we were by the rude treatment we had received. In any case, no food is worth being subjected to that kind of abuse. Yes, abuse. I am not throwing that word around lightly...it truly was abusive. The owner did little to rectify the situation. With so many fabulous restaurants in Savannah, we will cross this one off the list. Will NOT be returning to Goosefeathers again!

Christina S.
I loved the location since it is only two doors down from Ellis square. Also, the croissants were really good. The guys out front (busboys) were super nice, the girls taking the orders, not so much. Maybe they are stressed, but they have an attittude and the coffee is not that great. I think management needs to pay closer attention and sort out the obvious.

Laura M.
The restaurant is a small cozy little cafe that had really good quiche and whoppie pies. I loved it! Georgia peach whoopie pies are my favorite and is only during peach season around May.

Nicole W.
Cheap, convenient, home-made, delicious! Within walkin distance of Ellis and Telfair Squares (we stayed at Avia Hotel; also close to that). Great breakfast spot~ line may be long, but moves super quickly. The owner is usually onsite and cleaning up dishes with the busboys (very down to earth kind of place). I enjoyed the spinach and feta quiche slice ($4) w coffee. Please visit, next time I want to try the bread pudding.

Bill T.
Cute cafe. Long line but it moved fast. The staff was very friendly. We enjoyed a nice breakfast - poached eggs, artisan multi grain bread, fruit. Great coffee! Definitely would go back!
(5)
Tom C.
Yes. Go here for breakfast. Very limited menu, but good. The bagels are honest to god real bagels. Something you generally can't find in the South. Eggs are good. They're friendly. It's a small place, but the tables turn over quickly, and the line for food moves. It's not a hang out and eat a long brunch place, but it's perfect if you're in town and looking for a solid little breakfast while walking around the area.

Bob S.
Lack of dining space and frenetic pace diminish the good food vibe. The folks working the counter put up a good front, but the never ending lines are always present. Great croissants, good coffee, solid value in the food offerings, but don't expect much more than a quick gut-fill atmosphere as the employees rush about clearing way for the waiting hordes. It's ironic that this place is a bit of a victim of it's own Yelp popularity.

James A.
Went to Goose Feathers today, I'm so glad we did. I had a egg, cheese, and bacon on a bagel. The bagel was fantastic so fresh! My wife had a chocolate croissant, which was to die for, coffee was great as well. By the time we were done the line was out the door. Highly recommend when in Savannah.
(5)
Evan S.
Had the Eggs Benedict - Savannah Style... delicious and well worth the raving comments. Staff was great. One of the greeters ran to the back to get me a glass of water since I was drenched in sweat when I walked in. This is a nice refreshing option if you get tired of having really heavy meals.

Shane H.
This is one of the few places that qualifies for: cheap, fast and good It's located in the center of everything. This is a great spot to start the day with a simple, yet delicious breakfast and go on with your travels here in savannah. The service was pretty good. But I get how they could be not quiet there when the line extends outside of the door.

Reviewer R.
I went in for a lunch take-out; the line was out the door but it went quickly and my order was ready in a reasonable amount of time with no mistakes. It was very chaotic and noisy, so if you're looking for a quiet spot, this probably isn't it. Had the tuna nicoise plus avocado on sourdough (and comes with lettuce and tomato). It was decent.

Visiting Savannah and found this place via Yelp. Great breakfast spot with a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. We even tried to go back the same day for lunch but they had just closed by the time we got there. We'll be back for sure!

This place had a line out of the door and I see why. The service is great. My turkey sandwich was as good as a turkey sandwich could be (can't really mess that up) but the bread pudding was the real treat.

My husband and I ate breakfast here on 2 different mornings as we love dining at local restaurants when visiting other cities. Their bread pudding rocks. I also ordered their oatmeal and it was good as well. Tip of the day: Don't leave Savannah without eating here.

Chris S.
Service was friendly. The line goes by very quickly. Great ambience and a terrific way to start your Sunday. I had the eggeterian. If you eat meat, get it with extra crispy bacon and you'll thank me. My gf had the scrambled eggs which were perfectly cooked. The sweet tea was one of the best I've had. For dessert we shared a mini whoopee pie. The "mini" is more than enough for two people. It's extremely sweet. Awesome breakfast spot. Try to sit by a window.

Our hotel in Savannah had breakfast but we came here twice because we enjoyed it so much. After all, didn't your Mom always tell you that breakfast is the most important meal? I love the system of order first and then sit down - it allows the tables to flow nicely. I have always wanted to admonish people that to take up a table before you have your food is what creates the table shortage. They have it all figured out here! We even got to eat outside and when you are from Chicago, that's a big deal in March. Their oatmeal is divine - apples, walnuts, brown sugar and a bit of milk you can add to the creamiest, hottest best damn oatmeal you will ever eat. Lest you think I had a healthy breakfast, I will admit I also had a chocolate croissant and an Irish Cream latte - with green sugar sprinkles. I was able to sight see for hours! My husband had the bagel breakfast sandwich with egg, ham and cheese. I thought it was super boring but he loved it. Listen to your Mom and start the day with a great breakfast.

Not really sure what the fuss is all about. We went for breakfast/lunch on Sunday waiting for about 15 minutes on line. We ordered a bread pudding, basil and avocado quiche, an Italian panini, and a turkey and pimento cheese sandwich. My boys liked their sandwiches and the bread pudding was good. The quiche had decent flavor (though they used dried basil during basil season), but it had been heated in a microwave. The coffee was nothing special. Counter service and staff were very pleasant, but the overall meal was average. Wouldn't wait on line for it again. Kind of wish I went to Papillote around the corner.

Long lines but tons of empty tables...what gives? Need to hire an operations specialist. Ordered a latte with extra shot. The latte was weak and disgusting - mostly milk even with the extra shot of espresso. The shrimp and grits was decent, while the eggatarian sandwich was much better. Ok but not great...not really worth the wait IMHO.

went here on a whim during a friend's wedding weekend, she is a vegetarian & read a few good reviews about this place on yelp, so we decided to go for brunch, and let me tell you there was a small line compared to what i'm reading, but omg the chicken, bacon, mushroom, croissant (i'm not sure what it was called exactly) was absolutely melt in my mouth delicious! such a neat little place, with great food, customer service & clean restrooms!

Loved it! Simple place. Lovely people. Yummy food! Good variety on the menu. Would've taken a picture of my eggs Benedict but it looked so inviting that I ate it before my brain could process anything else. Good hot chocolate too. This is going to be the start of a great day!

Dominic S.
Another disappointment in the food scene of Savannah. The food is premise and frozen. When you order it is microwaved and sent out. Everything was terrible. The manager did however refund our money and was very understanding. We will not go back or recommend this place to anyone.

Mandie M.
Stopped in on our way down to Florida for breakfast, not to be disappointed. The latte I had was delicious and the quiche the best I've ever had in my life. The way they had two busboys walking around kind of in your face is a little weird but other than that... Yum!

Wendi M.
Lovely spot for breakfast. Quite a bit of variety too. Small items like muffins to full scale breakfasts like waffles, eggs, toast. Fabulous!

Great service. I got the bread pudding (very good), a refreshing "the Chippewa" (homemade veggie cream cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, sprouts, sweet red pepper on multi grain), and shrimp and grits (yum!). Would recommend to others who are looking for an easy, delicious lunch.

Delish!! Long line to order but once you get the food it is worth the wait. Line moves right along. We had the eggeterian and the eggs Benedict, both excellent. We contemplated going back up to get something else it was so good. Loved it! Yummy breakfast spot in Savannah!

Lissa W.
Visited savannah for a week and my niece goes to SCAD, this is a great place that the local love. The service is great and the food is even better! I had the bird's nest and I do not usually eat grits but it was so good. Another time I had the egg croissant very good as well. And if the line is long the staff will do all they can to seat you whole party. A must go breakfast place.

Darth S.
So I came for breakfast to this cozy place during my visit to beautiful Savannah. My kids loved the food, my wife loved her croissant, and I... I loved everything about this place. The eggs Benedict and the bread pudding were out of this world. It's been a month and I still dream about the warm bread pudding.

Carrie M.
Heard so many good things about the whoopie pies. Got two of the minis, they were both very dry. I'd skip this place and go for ice cream elsewhere.

Our party of six decided to try Goose Feathers for Sunday brunch and we were not disappointed. We ordered a variety of dishes including bagel, sandwiches, soup, desserts etc. Everything tasted really good. There were so many selections to choose from that it was actually a good thing that there was a line so we could study the menu to figure out what to get. For the location and portion of the food, I thought the price was really reasonable as well. I would definitely visit Goose Feathers again the next time I come to Savannah and try some of the dishes that looked interesting, but didn't have the stomach size to try all in one meal.

Michael C.
Get fresh avocado with your eggs n croissant. Delicious!

Mary V.
Delicious eggs Benedict on a freshly baked croissant. The five to ten minute wait is worth it. Always try the homemade bread pudding. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. My only complaint would be the Additional charge of 1.00$ when I added a tomato slice to my sandwich. Really? But it is a tourist Mecca... For good, yummy reasons. Excellent coffee too!

TJ K.
One of the best breakfasts I have ever had. This place is a local hot spot in Savannah, GA and my family and I decided to try while we were in town. We found it by chance, but were not disappointed. The lines are a bit long as this place is pretty popular, but the wait was worth it. I highly recommend the Egg-etarian. Can't remember if that is the exact name, but it is something like that and it is fantastic.

Sunny Y.
Very healthy traffic-always a good sign Your order shows on a screen which is a good concept (took a picture) Staff were friendly. The owner interacted with my 3 yr old and remembered her name when leaving. Who wouldn't like that? I ordered smoked turkey Reuben Flatbread was of high quality covered in Rosemary which gave it a nice flavor I would have preferred more toasted - it was more on the warmed side as opposed to toasted Turkey quality was good - quantity was less then expected. I envision reubens as a stuffed sandwhich in terms of meat Size was large, the flatbread does overwhelm the turkey, I have a good appetite so a larger sandwich is nice. I didn't leave hungry which is good. Slaw on sandwich was good, honey dressing was not my favorite but that's personal preference. Pricing was reasonable much better valuable than Panera Bread which I would consider comparable I would think if you like Panera Bread then you will have a great experience here.

We were looking to see if we could a decent bacon and egg sandwich, and that's exactly what we got in here. My wife and I had the bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant. It was fresh, hot, delicious, and with the fresh squeezed OJ, we had a good start to the day. For less than $20 you can't beat it, and would definitely come again.

This was my first time in Savannah, so I did a lot of research to find the popular places to eat. We ate here on our last full day in town, and so far I hadn't been wowed by any of the other places we had tried. I definitely was at this place. I ate here with my husband, mom and step-dad and all four of us thought it was amazing. The food tasted so fresh and had the perfect amounts of flavor. I had the eggs benedict and a hot mocha, my husband had the breakfast panini and Belgian waffles with banana and pecans, and my mom had the salmon BLT. We all tasted of each others food. The mocha was "just good", nothing special but I wasn't expecting it to be. My husband said the waffle tasted like a waffle. All of the actual food though was soooo good! I will venture far enough to say that it was one of the top 5 brunches I've ever had.
(4)
Amy D.
Talked my friend into going here for breakfast because of yelp reviews, and we were both very glad we did!! I had a ham, egg and cheese croissant, it was great, the croissant being the best part. She had, what she called, the 'best. waffle. EVER.' with bananas and pecans. It was so good she asked if I minded going again the next morning...no I didn't mind at all!! She had to get her waffle again, and I had to get my croissant again. As most have already said, don't let the line intimidate you. I am not a patient person and normally avoid a line whenever possible, but it only took a few minutes to get thru the line, and they make the food fast. The employees are constantly hustling around getting things done, but not in the least did I feel anyone was rushing us out the door at any time during both our visits.

Mark N.
Pretty nice place came for breakfast or lunch, it seems very popular with a hip, fit young professional and college student type crowd, lots of customers who look like they run marathons or are otherwise quite physically active and health conscious.. decent paninis.. the food did not overly impress me, but it was OK, and the atmosphere is nice..

Wells R.
Came here last year for first time while visiting and liked it so much wanted to make sure I came at least once this trip as well. Decided to come on a Sunday morning probably first mistake!! When I turned the corner to see people standing almost a block around the corner to get in I wasn't happy. There was no water outside while waiting in the heat, and looked as if Manager was trying to set up and save tables for those who wanted to dine in?! When finally my turn I was going to get it to go, but my daughter ordered eggs Benedict you cant eat that in back of a car, i changed my mind to dine in, to make it faster. That caused all kind of confusion, I was asked like will you need a table? anyway too much chaos inside and outside the store!!! having to criss cross through people in line to get to table!! I ordered one of the famous sticky buns and had looked forward to it all year... sadly it was almost burnt the edges were very hard so I gave up. Breakfast for 3= 29.00 ouch! If it isnt busy give them a try, breakfast sandwiches are good, but from a tourist stand point I doubt Ill go through that long of a line for a breakfast sandwich again.

Crystal W.
This is one of my favorite places to get breakfast! Love the avocado, onion, tomatoes and basil quiche. Also the stuffed ham and cheese crossiant is delicious. It gets really busy but the wait isn't long at all. I've never sat down inside and ate. Usually ate on the go or back the hotel.
(5)
Kristen R.
I came here on a whim, as I wanted something simple on my visit to Savannah. My order was taken by the owner, who was very nice and welcoming. While the price was not too bad, the amount of food I got was less than expected. However, it was quite tasty, so that's always a plus! (Random note: this place first introduced me to the word "pralines".)

Dan R.
A top choice for breakfast in any town, certainly Savannah. The line was almost to the door when we got there but it moved fairly quickly. Food-to-table was a little slower. I had a black bean omellette for breakfast and asked for an egg on top, which they did (added charge of course) but it was scrambled (I neglected to specify and they did not ask, my bad). I would say this was the best choice for breakfast in Savannah.

Ethan T.
What a find!!! I have read the other reviews, and was in fact drawn here because of the quick tips (great job Yelpers!). I had the breakfast sandwich with eggs, cheese and bacon, every item cooked just right, the bacon was crispy, on a soft flakey croissant in which I could actually taste the butter. I am actually watering at the mouth thinking of this sandwich. It is the only one that I have had that is comparable to the one served at the Midway Cafe down in the FL keys (mile marker 80). The coffee is well above average, and I was glad that the cups were big enough that I had plenty left to take with me as I wandered around town. The first time I walked in the line was short and everything went quickly. I was able to enjoy the open space, the high ceilings, examine the menu, and drink in this new place. The second time, the line was out the door, and after waiting a bit, my hunger drove me on to find a less busy place. If you are reading this, and only have time to try to the place once, stand in line and eat here.

I came here quite a few times with my boyfriend and family when I went to SCAD. The food is delicious, fresh, portioned well, and very affordable, especially if you're on that SCAD kid budget. The Eggetarian (spelling??) is my favorite dish there. A collandaise sauce AND pesto, he-llo! I don't know if they make the baguettes on site but they're crusty and chewy and soo absolutely yummy. I've been thinking about returning to Savannah for a weekend trip and I'll definitely be visiting this place to try some of the things I missed out on if I do. Namely, all their scrumptious sounding croissant varieties.

You pay more for the ambiance than the food. As far as decor goes, it's classy, sensible, and the location is unbeatable. I'm a little wary of the service as noted by previous reviews. There was a guy who received sugar and cream with his coffee while I was given none, and i had to figure out where to where to find mine. Not a big deal, but attention to detail win my hard earned Yelp points. Better to come here early to beat the lines, and so that your brain is still numb to otherwise disappointing food. The breakfast panini really let me down, and once that happens no amount of bread pudding can save that. Fortunately the weak coffee let me fall asleep to forget this bad dream. I hope this was an off day, or better yet, they would scrap that panini mess altogether. However, it seems like they do the regular breakfast fare pretty well.

I liked this place - it's really cute and there are some interesting things on the menu. I just think it's not quite worth the exceptionally long wait on line to order (15-20 minutes or more) before finding a place to sit down and wait some more for your order to arrive. I went for the relatively healthy roasted sweet potato with pecans and cinnamon butter. BF had some kind of egg sandwich and a side of tasty turkey sausage. Coffee was really, really weak - even by Savannah standards.

Other than Zunzi's, this is my favorite place to get lunch in Savannah. From the staff, to the food, to the owner; everything about this place is worth writing home about. I ate here frequently for six years until I moved out of Savannah and 2009, and when I went back to visit three years later, the owner still knew my "regular order" (which was the Chicken Pita) even though she never knew my name. Everything is "personal" with this place, and you can taste the love that goes into it within the food. Highly recommend.

Ah-mazing. We needed a quick breakfast before we got on the road, and the word "express" made me confident that they could make that happen. We called in our order as we were checking out of the hotel, and within 2 minutes we pulled up outside. I ran in, past an enormous line, to the pick-up counter and got a quick glare from the girl at the register (I guess people just place phone orders from outside and walk in to avoid the line?) before happily skipping out with our bagels. They weren't New York bagels, but for Georgia they are about 700x better than I was expecting. I got one with egg on it, and the egg was cooked fresh, not just a re-heated patty. Highly recommended! Just make sure to leave them plenty of time to actually make your food before you pick it up :)

This is conveniently located near Ellis Square hotels, so we ended up coming here twice for breakfast. The breakfast sandwiches were excellent--I had the egg, cheddar, and spinach sandwich, and it was a very flavorful vegetarian option. The eggs were fluffy and the spinach is sauteed with onion and (I think) artichoke. I could eat that every day. The coffee was good but not exceptional.

We stopped in here for breakfast while visiting Savannah and although the line was out the door it moved at a decent pace and there was a guy bringing menus out for people. I had the eggetarian which I highly recommend, but be prepared to use a for and knife to eat it because it can get messy! BF ordered egg,cheese,spinach,turkey sausage croissant and it was good but they did forget his spinach and we took it togo :(. I had the house coffee and bf had a cappuccino, nothing special but it was good. We also split a strawberry cram croissant and it was amazing!! Reminds me of a strawberry cheese coffee cake, it was so good!! We stopped back in as we were leaving for more croissants and cinnamon rolls but they were almost sold out so we got whoopee pies, the pumpkin cream cheese one was amazing but we didn't care for the oreo like one, the white cream was too sweet. A great place to visit in Savannah. Good food and good prices!!

cute place. cute food options. i haven't had a decent cup of coffee since coming to savannah, but i thought for sure i'd get it here. unfortunately, as soon as i dripped a small amount of cream in, it "tanned" up, immediately exhibiting that "crap, it's way too weak" coffee. i didn't like it. but i wouldn't let that stop a second visit for eats.

My friend and I decided to take a road trip from the cold weather in Chicago to sunny Savannah. We arrived at 6:30 in the morning after having driven through the night. We slept for a few hours then went looking for food. Luckily my friend had lived in Savannah for a year as a full time volunteer at a medical clinic, so she knew the area. We went to Goose Feathers which was really good. It was like the south's Panera (which I love). The food was really good and they have great service. We didn't have to wait long to order or for food and it was around noon on a Saturday. Which I think would be a pretty busy time. The food was great. I'll have to go back again the next time my friend and I decide to take an 18 hour road trip each way to Savannah.

Great for a quick lunch. Tables turn over really fast, so it's easy to run in, grab a sandwich and wolf it down. The food is great and you can get anything from really light to heavy duty, belly stuffing fare. Their drinks and baked goods are also top notch. The service, though rushed because of the rapid customer turnover, is always competent and considerate. Sitting outside is the ticket, since the inside isn't much to look at and a bit claustrophobic. The outdoor tables are nicely shaded and provide a view of the square.

Only issue here is parking, have patience. Fortunate for us a parking space opened up directly in front of restaurant. Deli style ordering with made to order items. Excellent service, fresh pastries, hot coffee. What more could you ask for. One of my favorites.

DO NOT order their coffee..it was so weak. Otherwise, super cute and quaint place. Loved the menu items. My husband got a panini. I ordered the eggetarian. I loved it! The prices were fair, and the staff friendly. Also as a side plus, i enjoyed the boutique shops next to this cafe.

I was expecting a lot having read the reviews but i left not that impressed. 4 of us got breakfast and the first thing was that my cappuccino was just not that good. I am not a coffee snob but a like a cappuccino not a shot of espresso with a ton of milk poured on top so it becomes a weak latte. The breakfast sandwich was good but not great as were the two egg croissants. Maybe it was an off day but was just an average breakfast rather than a great morning cafe experience

I spotted the Goose Feather Cafe after I carefully solicited directions from the hotel staff concerning the location of a drug store, closely examined the courtesy map, cleverly left the map at the hotel, and conscientiously started my trip by turning left, instead of right, at the hotel door. Immediately I was lost. I passed the Goose Feather Cafe several times and from different directions. I noted the charming cafe chairs, made of wood (Homage to Gebrüder Thonet, pioneer of bentwood furniture and progenitor of modern notions of the cafe chair? Could be...) and shaded under a green awning fronting tall glass windows and thought, "Say, that looks like a French cafe. I bet they have breakfast!" Eventually I did locate CVS. I quickly failed to find my items, met my wife, and resumed searching for this cafe. "I don't know what it's called. It has cafe chairs out front and a green awning. It is probably a cafe and might serve breakfast. You can't miss it." I am glad we didn't miss it! This was a Thursday morning. There were only a few patrons. The extensive menu covers a fabulous variety of breakfast and lunch items, with an emphasis on French food and coffee. I had a double espresso and a fruit bowl on the first visit, and noticed that the espresso was excellent and the fruit was fresh and cut that morning. We sat at the charming wooden chairs in the shade of the awning and were extremely happy. By Saturday we knew it was only a two minute walk from our hotel. We returned with our friends. Whoa! It turns out that this place is famous! A line stretched out the doors and well down the sidewalk. We waited, and twenty minutes later were seated and enjoying a wonderful breakfast. You can't go wrong, here! Everything is fresh. Everything is real. I haven't had a croissant so fluffy and fresh and buttery since Paris in 2005. The prices are reasonable. Beware that the rest of Savannah already knows this, and the tourists apparently all read Yelp. Visit on a weekday or arrive early and expect to wait.

Ordered the Eggetarian: Two poached eggs with cheddar pesto, tomato and hollandaise on croissant . It was delicious, the addition of pesto made it a flavor combo I had never tried and made it superb.

Very good casual breakfast. We ate here three times during our trip. The food was all good. The owner is on site and actively involved in the prep and delivery of your food. My favorite was some a sandwich called the Eggetarian except I had them add bacon. It was over the top. There can be a bit of a line because their ordering process is not very efficient. But it's worth the wait!

Debra C.
Long line justifies grabbing a menu ahead of time. Poached eggs were cooked perfectly and the whole wheat bagel was almost NY-like. The Barnard sandwich was loaded with fresh ingredients... but bread was cold so next time I'd ask for it warmed (yea, I'm that picky :).

Steph M.
We liked this place a lot because of the food, the service, the price and the fact that they are pet friendly! But be prepared to stand in line for a while if you go there in the morning but once you ordered they get the food to you very quickly. Amazingly, the staff was in a great mood and super friendly despite the cafe being so busy.

Goose Feathers...you would be the death of me if you were located in Chicago (due to morbid obesity from eating here all the time!). This place had great review so my friend and I checked it out for breakfast while we were in Savannah and we were not disappointed! You have to wait in line to order first before you get seated so: A. you already have some of your food (already made pastries) and B. the drinks and food come out faster C. this process runs really smoothly We ordered: 1. Belgian Waffle w/ syrup & butter (all the way which comes with: w/ fresh fruit & whipped cream and bananas & pecans)- This waffle was absolutely delicious. Nothing wrong about it. The vanilla sorbet was the perfect touch with the waffle and whipped cream. Amazing and a must try. 2. Bread Pudding- OMG!!!!!! this was the best masterpiece ever created. It was so perfect. The perfect touch of sweetness for the morning without being overly sweet. Everyone was staring at it with envy and asked us what it was (while they ordered their own!) 3. Cream cheese croissant- pretty much tasted like the same croissants like the ones at Starbucks. The croissant was soft and flaky and the cream cheese was rich: just the way I like it. 4. Veggie Panini (come with ancient red sweet pepper, organic spinach, mushrooms and feta with pesto and our special roasted garlic oil on ciabatta bread and a pickle on the side)-great panini sandwich. The bread was not like an ordinary panini bread, but I did not mind. Overall the red sweet pepper was great with the touch of everything else. Great for vegetarians. 5. Mini woopie- I did not try this so I can't say. My friend ate it and I was overly stuffed. 6. French vanilla latte: great but I wish I had whipped cream on it. I should have asked 7. Vanilla Mocha: my friend had it and she said it was great. She had it with whipped cream. Yes we are pigs and glad that we ordered all that we did. If I EVER go back to Savannah I would definitely go back to Goose Feathers. This place is above and beyond. The customer service is top notch and everyone is just so sweet.

This place has everything you can think of for breakfast. When I first came in my eyes were glued to the croissants. But then I got distracted by the omelets. What to do? I can't decide. So I got it all. The place has lots of tables, so don't worry about waiting to long for a table although the line to order may be a bit discouraging. Luckily, the service is quick and friendly. So the tables turnaround fairly quickly. Why-oh-why is there not a place like this in Montgomery?

GREAT place to eat breakfast! Eggs were cooked perfectly, coffee was good and service was excellent. We went on a Monday morning, and there wasn't anyone in line. The pastries looked amazing, but we all ordered egg & cheese crossaints. This was the best breakfast we had in Savannah!! Will definitely eat here again next time we visit Savannah!

I love the Express Cafe. Loved it in 2009 when I managed to go visit for three meals in just three days (unusual for this "try a little of everything" foodie when on an out-of-town trip). And I was no less in love on my second visit to Savannah a year later. The menu is a delightful mix of breakfast foods (best quiches anywhere, customizable 'eggel bagels', Belgian waffles topped with fruit and frozen yogurt) and cafe noshes (freshly baked muffins and desserts, hot sammies like paninis, and deli-style stuff on a variety of breads and croissants). I've had a variety of stuff here and haven't been disappointed with anything. You order at the counter and then scrounge for a table, which can involve a bit of a wait during peak hours when they're super-busy. But even since my visit last year, I've seen improvements to efficiency -- like fancy new menus and new cash registers where you can verify what you've ordered. Actually, they have signs up that proudly announce the arrival of franchise opportunities. So I can only keep my fingers crossed that the Triangle will be lucky enough to see one!

We arrived at Goose Feathers on Saturday morning at about 9:30am, the restaurant wasn't full but it was busy. We walked up and were overwhelmed with the menu and now looking back wish we were able to have tried more! The baked goods looked delicious! The owner was taking orders and she was very pleasant, as was the rest of the staff. The restaurant was very clean, had a great vibrance and feel.

Stopped here for breakfast since it was near my hotel and I was going to need to check out soon...fortunately for me it turned out to be one of my best stops in Savannah! I ordered an eggle bagel which was very good. My husband ordered the spinach and feta quiche and it was amazing...I was jealous. The charming cafe atmosphere added to the experience. As we were getting ready to go, we realized that we had not yet had pecan pie while in Georgia and ordered a slice to go. We took it down to the River Walk and enjoyed it there. It was great - not too sweet - and the perfect way to end our trip to Savannah.

We were starved and I had heard good things about this place. I had a cup of gazpacho and a smoked turkey reuben. I don't know if it was because I was starved, but my meal was delicious. The gazpacho was chunky and flavorful. Had a nice, subtle kick to it. The sandwich was made with a rosemary foccacia bread, cabbage and a buttery tasting sauce, instead of the usual reuben dressing. It was an interesting change. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. It is a good thing I don't live near this place. I would be eating there all the time and weigh about two bills.

I got goosed eggs at Goose Feathers... Just an alright place that probably is better for a quick refreshment, coffee or tea; but not so great for the food. Food wise I was disappointed except for the croissant sandwich. Decor is a cheap replica of a french cafe; black and white tiles, french posters on the wall; and some really horrific chandeliers/lamps. On the other hand, the staff was friendly and welcoming. PS: if I come back, it would be for the sorbet Ice Cream; it was great!

Elexa B.
Great service. There was always someone there to take a dirty plate or make sure that you had all of your food from the counter. Quiche Lorraine was good but I wished my croissant had been toasted but I guess it's my bad because I didn't ask? A little girl...owner's daughter? was working the counter and it was really cute she knew exactly what she was doing and filled up our iced teas before we left to stroll around. You could see a lot of local business men in suits ate here so you know it's good if the locals like it. Quick place to take it to go or sit outside at their little tables. We even parked RIGHT in front of it on the street and walked to two steps up to the front door.

We just stopped in between our carriage ride and shopping. It took me a long time to make up my mind because they had a number of great sandwich options. In the end, I got the Scarborough, a vegetarian sandwich with avocado and sprouts. It took them awhile to bring my order to me, but the busser noticed that I had been waiting and took it upon himself to check on my food, before I even asked. The sandwich insides was good and fresh, but the bread was way too crusty. My friend got a slice of pecan pie and was extremely underwhelmed. Overall, it was quick and a fine experience. I'd like to come back for brunch another time.

I came here for one reason: BREAD PUDDING. When I read a review that said they used croissants and baguettes, I was hooked. I was not disappointed. It was moist, with an apricot jam inside. YUMMO. I also forced myself into brie with a baguette. The baguette was SO FRESH, though when they asked if I wanted it heated, I kind of assumed the brie would be more melted than it was. Oh well, it was still very nice. The line was a bit long, but service was friendly, and they seem to have it down to a science. There were probably 10 people ahead of us, and we only waited a bit over 5 minutes to order. Not bad I would say! Overall a good experience, PLENTY of room inside to sit and chat.

This is an excellent place to visit if your looking for breakfast. Just be prepared for a long wait.
What a fantastic place, and so cheap! Goose Feather's has it all: a cute, French bistro vibe, warm and friendly (not to mention fast) service, and--most importantly--perfectly prepared, awesome food. And affordable: this place is cheaper than chain breakfast restaurants (one of the friendly staff members mentioned that she can feed her family of five cheaper here than at Waffle House!), but the food is anything but "chain." I had a perfectly poached egg with thick artisan wheat toast, a bowl of super creamy grits with tangy white cheddar cheese, and yummy roasted potatoes. Jason had a delicious eggs benedict, served on a fresh-baked croissant with amazing hollandaise and a pan-seared slice of ham. Everything was excellent. If you want breakfast in Savannah, there's really no other place to go!

If you are in the historic district and need a quick breakfast or lunch, try this place out. We walked over here for breakfast one morning. The cafe is really cute. Probably a mix of locals and tourists. We had a great quiche, bagel/cc and gazpacho. Prices were very cheap compared to eating at the hotel. Ample seating inside and a few tables outside. Lo'ts of staff moved the line alone quickly.

Bryan B.
I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! I've been there 3 times (would go there more if I lived closer) and each time I thought it was fantastic. The staff is polite and the food excellent. My only problem is that it gets very crowded and it can tough to find a table. 2 out of my 3 trips, we had to wait (after getting our food) to be able to sit down. But, hey, that's means they're popular, I guess. I don't know if it's possible for them to expand or add additional seating, but that's my only complaint and I didn't even take off a star for it...guess you can say I'm a fan!

My husband, friend and I were in Savannah for the day and decided to have breakfast at Goose Feathers based on all the good Yelp reviews. We were not disappointed! We all shared a croissant, two quiches (spinach/feta and tomato/onion/basil/avocado-my favorite one), which were excellent. I love quiche and almost always order when it's on the menu, I can honestly say that this is the best restaurant quiche I've ever had. We also had the oatmeal with bananas and maple syrup, very delicious. I would have tried more on the menu but we were waiting for a lunch reservation in a couple of hours. I definitely recommend this place and hope to come back again soon!

Amanda T.
We loved this place! It was one of several places within walking distance of our hotel so we figured we would give it a shot and it definitely did not disappoint! The "Eggetarian" was probably the best breakfast sandwich we have ever had. Try the quiche too!!! Service was great and super friendly!

Waiting in a line but it moved fairly fast. I got the egg, cheese and bacon on croissant and it was delicious. The croissant was so buttery and fresh and the bacon was meaty. My dad got the grits. They were delicious as well. It was our first time eating grits. We really enjoyed them with sugar. I also got the sticky bun which was good, not the best I've had though. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Lines were long and I still don't get why. Food is run of the mill blah. Benedict was covered in an awful hollandaise and was not seasoned with anything. It was just egg, hollandaise and croissant. No sides, nothing. Sticky bun was nuked and hardened onto the plate. Quiche was also nuked and the crust was stale and not fresh. Totally unsatisfying but relatively cheap. Only saving grace was good croissants. Won't be returning.

The breakfast panini wasn't actually a panini. The eggs in my eggs Benedict were completely overdone (hard boiled) and I somehow had egg shell in them (how that happens with a poached egg, I'll never know!). Very disappointed. Would not return - not worth the line or the money. :(

I really wanted this place to be good. It started off oogy, we were standing in front of the Place Order sign and someone next to that sign (Cashier) was just staring at us. So I finally made one of those expressions of "Hey? What's up?" Which was returned with one of those tight lipped wide eye annoyed smiles so I knew that's where we needed to order! Thanks for just staring at us like we were idiots, you rock. After we placed our order there was a number to the side, but it was still closer to the cash register then I feel comfortable reaching for so we just kind of slid to the side expecting that she would hand it to us. Which she didn't...and they didn't tell us where to get the sugar for our coffees... I got the eggs benedict which comes on a croissant and I was like "Whoa! This should be awesome!." But no! It was more like "Whoa! What happened?" To start it was cold..the very inside in the ham had some warmth to it, but the sauce and eggs were all room temperature. Seems to be a theme out here. The eggs are not poached, they are just fried, and while the hollandaise was plentiful it was missing flavor..needed some lemon and maybe a touch more salt. My husband got one of their breakfast sammies and found it to be flavorless, he had to add salt and pepper to get something happening for his tastebuds but geez. I don't know...between the service and the lack of oomph on the food I'll have to pass. Overall very unenjoyable experience which is sad because some of the baked goods looked awesome.

We didn't expect much from this little cafe but noticed that there was a good line out the door. We decided to go since it was moving fairly fast. We walked in and first thing we saw walk by was the bread pudding! It was mouth watering to see such a beautiful mound of dessert. We got the quiche with tomato, onion, and basil and the blueberry croissant. The croissant was flakey and buttery, just the way I like it. My wife loved the quiche, but since I don't like it, I took her word for it. The portions were average but the bread pudding definitely filled any empty space in our stomach.

Carly W.
A good place to go for a quick lunch on a busy day. I've never had to wait in a terribly long line, but then again I tend to eat lunch later in the afternoon. They have plenty of healthy options and the food comes out pretty quickly and is delivered to your table. I like the vegetarian options and the multigrain breads. It's difficult to be too healthy when I stop in there...as soon as I walk in all of the desserts stare at me while I wait in line and continue to taunt me throughout my tasty meal. Sometimes, I just gotta give in to some bread pudding or a cookie. I can't say I've ever regretted that choice. They do seem a little uptight about getting everyone to follow their pointless rules, but I can't say I had a problem with them insisting I leave my tray of trash on the table when I attempted to clean it up myself the first time I stopped in.

I really want to rate this place as a 5 star place, but didn't just because it was a self serve place. To start off, the place was simple, nothing flashy, and seemed like a run of the mill stop and go. BUT I have to say that my gf and I thoroughly enjoyed the food. We went there Saturday morning and had to return Sunday morning for another taste before we left. What to get: Bread pudding- a must get peanut butter mocha- a must get croissant (I like mine simple, which just a slice of cheese... you can get the sandwich, but those are larger- for 2 people) Lastly the people working were great. It was a pleasure to eat there and I look forward to eating there again.

Amanda Z.
If I was only judging the bread pudding, I'd give it 5 stars easy. Otherwise, the food is pretty average morning fare, all good but nothing that really blows your socks off. That said, I will talk about the bread pudding a little more. We first came here on the Foody Tour and came back the next day for another dose of this fattening little concoction. It is made from croissant and french bread, covered in an apricot glaze, and then topped with tons of whipped cream. This is not bread pudding for the faint of heart, this is full fat and full delicious. A single bowl is big enough for two to split, as we chose to do, and was incredibly filling. I have to say, completely worth it and probably some of the best I have ever had. Otherwise, the menu is filled with classics like bagel sandwiches, eggs, baked goods, lox, etc. It's not really a hearty southern breakfast, but it's good and maybe a little expensive, but frankly I was on vacation and wasn't really paying all that much attention. Sorry.

This place was AMAZING. I was in Savannah with a group of girls for my friend's bachelorette weekend. We were staying at the AVIA and wanted a cute place for breakfast and stumbled upon this cafe. I should be honest and say that the 3 mornings we were there for breakfast, we ate here all three mornings. We even had a lunch here on the afternoon we were leaving. At first it could've been out of laziness to find another place to eat, but really, why would you go anywhere else when this was so convenient and delicious? Let me just tell you, you HAVE to try the quiche...they have a few...try them all! Oh, and the oatmeal! For those of you who like it, you definitely need to try it...I had mine with bananas and maple syrup...yum yum! I also had The Telfair Sandwich (Havarti cheese, cucumbers, sprouts, tomatoes, and avocado) - even the meatitarian would like it. When I saw they were offering franchising opportunities I was super excited...now, if only I can convince someone to open one in North Carolina...

Carla T.
A cute little breakfast place. We got there right when it opened so there wasn't really line but it got crowded super fast. I got a slice of quiche, bacon, and home fries. I thought the home fries were great and they came with sour cream. The quiche and bacon were pretty good but nothing specifically special. Would go again. Would love to try a woopie pie next time.

Becca R.
Good food, but not memorable. I got the bird's nest, which was two poached eggs in grits with salsa and cheese. Good presentation and good flavors but lacked a little seasoning. My husband was not into this place. There were not many "meaty" and fillings options for him. He got the club and said it was okay but was still hungry and didn't want to wait in line again. I would probably try this place again with a girl friend for brunch and a small appetite.

Just passing through Savannah and had a great breakfast here. You order at the counter, put your number on the table, and your food is brought to you, and then they bus the table for you. The bread pudding, cheese grits, oatmeal, spinach and feta croissant, and coffee were all excellent! Nothing but praise! We were in at about 8:30 on a weekday, and did not have a wait. Multiple servers/ managers came by to encourage us to get more coffee (which we had in house but they also said we could get refills to go), and were overall super friendly. The place was super clean, as well.

Even though the line was out the door, we didn't wait a long time to order & get our food. Floor mgr made sure our party of 8 had a place to sit. Amazing food & service!

Love the atmosphere! Fun and casual with very friendly service. Mike is great! The food was much better than expected for a quick breakfast stop, and they have lots of options to accommodate the various preferences of our large group. We'd definitely come again if we're in the area.

This place is a lesson in how to destroy the charm and ambiance of a cafe. From the moment you arrive you're blasted by a corporate churn and burn mentality. You can't take a seat until you order. If you do a bouncer with a microphone will eject you from the seat. The place is packed with tables to the point where the only way to move is to nudge other patrons out of the way. Meanwhile bouncer guy roams the "cafe" eyeballing people who've finished. The not mildly subtle hint is once that final forkful hits your mouth, it's time to leave. All of this combines to ruin the atmosphere. We enjoyed the taste of their famous bread pudding but it wasn't amazing and was overshadowed. The coffee was mediocre. Food at the other tables looked tasty but uninspired; think standard piles of cheese and meat. Overall we left unhappy and pretty upset by the experience that seemed quite intentional by the proprietors. Don't recommend, won't go again.

It was 90% humidity and I walked in sweating like a Christmas pig, yet wanted an Americano. Had been shopping for items needed for week long stay so wasn't looking my Sunday best. Didn't get a good vibe from staff. I like the fact that when you order Americano they give you hot water to allow you to decide how strong you want it. Has great desserts but I needed to get home plus just didn't feel welcome in there sad because it's right down from Andaz where we're staying. Won't be back.

Busy place for a Thursday late morning, long line but it went quickly and food came out pretty fast! 2 stars: I wanted to see what all the hype was about for the bread pudding...it was okay. Lots of cinnamon if you like that, had cream cheese inside or something like it. In my opinion, it wasn't that amazing as others have mentioned on yelp. We didn't finish it and actually wanted to send it back..but didn't. 3 stars: We also got the Scarborough sandwich and it was pretty good. Fresh ingredients, although their multigrain bread was very hard. Most likely not have been made that day..maybe a few days old. 4 stars: I got the Quiche: Tomato, onion, basil, avocado. This was pretty good, however you can't taste the basil at all, it's not fresh basil, it's the dried seasoning. I liked the crust it had, it was like a pie crust! Yum! I like this dish the most out of everything we got! Note: microwaved to make it hot.. Would rather they warmed it up on the oven or something similar to make it less soft/microwaved tasty. Service was nice, friendly, and pretty quick, they were ready to clean up our tables and get things out of the way for us, which was really nice.

Goose Feather's definitely beat my expectations. I was rather hungry when we arrived and there was a line just about out the door. That is no reflection on the quality of service though, other than the fact that this place is so good, everyone wants in on it. Everything about our meal was perfect. Bread was fresh and our sandwiches were stacked high. The curried rice and edamame salad was wonderful. With all the appetizing menu selections, I don't think you could go wrong with ordering anything they offer.

My husband and I decided to make a breakfast stop at Goose Feathers after our hours long drive from Tampa. Parking was a little tricky as we didn't know the territory that well. However, we managed to find an open spot off the main drag, around the corner from Goose Feathers. The line was definitely long as others have mentioned but to me, this is always a good sign. Whether it was due to local fans or tourists, the wait did not bother me much. It actually went rather quickly and most certainly was a good time to review the menu (since the staff were handing out menus anyway). Very smart! The staff here are polite, hospitable and give excellent customer service. Please and thank you, excuse me or pardon me. They keep the place clean and orderly, clear empty dishes quickly and are quick about refilling beverage cups. I would say it was the good mannered Southern hospitality you hear about but I went to plenty other places in Savannah that didn't have service like this. At Goose Feathers, the staff worked cohesively like one machine, including the owner who I saw working just as hard as her staff. I ordered the Eggetarian and my husband ordered the Eggs Benedict sandwich. The eggetarian was absolutely delicious! I was craving a mix of eggs benedict and tomato but didn't want meat or a salad. The eggetarian was a good combination of what I wanted. I think the pesto really makes a difference with this sandwich and was likely the reason it tasted so fresh. Actually, my husband liked my sandwich better than his regular eggs benedict sandwich, which was really good too but he loves pesto. Overall, I would visit Goose Feathers again and see what else they have to offer. We really liked this place!

Great little cafe. Service is fairly quick as most of their entrees are already made or half prepared. Prices are reasonable considering the location. I like their system. You stand in line order at the counter and then you take beverages with you and some food but also a table tent for the rest. The had a large variety. We had the Belgian waffle with strawberries, basil avocado quick and ham and swiss croissant. It was all tasty. We also had the chocolate cake but that tasted a bit more like cafeteria cake. Some of their portions were small for the value or looked like cafeteria food that had been sitting out for a while (fruit and pasta salad for example). The staff was very attentive and they did a great job with the volume considering size.

Loved the veggie sandwich i had with havarti and pesto mayo! The multi-grain baguette that it came on was crunchy on the outside, but soft, chewy and light inside. It was really some of the best bread Ive had in awhile. Its hard to do an all vegiie sandwich right (especially for a meat eater) and this was delicious and very filling. The rest of the group had soups and sandwiches, which they all enjoyed. The food for all 5 of us came out quickly and we were onto our travels after a quick lunch. Be prepared to come in, order/pay, seat yourself, get your own napkins and silverware, then have the actual food be brough out by your server. Lots of choices, lots of desserts! Only sad i didnt get to try the bread pudding!

I've been told once or twice that breakfast is the most important meal of the day... but I still pass on it (just have no appetite when I first wake each morning... Unless I'm on vacation and constantly "on the go", then I work up an appetite. Last visit to Savannah we stepped out of the hotel on our first morning and searched for a breakfast spot (without Yelp and without a car)... Frankly Historic Savannah is rather quiet in the morning but we kept noticing people walking in the same general direction. Granted I'm sure were on their way to work, school or what ever but there was a gathering by the entrance of Goose Feathers. That "gathering" turned out to be an impressively, long line (on a weekday nonetheless). A couple tables outside and plenty of inside seating, customers just wait in line to order at the counter... simple bakery or room temperature items are handed to the customers and hot dishes or items needing preparation are brought out to the table. Dishes varied from typical made-on-the-premises breads, pastries, bagels, buttery croissants and quite a variety of everything that hits the spot first thing A.M. Plus plenty of coffees and teas to choose from as well. That first morning I ordered (2) croissants... one savory (Ham and Swiss Croissant) and one sweet (Strawberry Preserve filled Croissant)... SO PERFECTLY DONE. Marisol had a Lorraine Quiche (bacon, tomato and avocado)... as good as mine was HER'S WAS EVEN BETTER. Breakfast was so good that rather than try another place the next morning (even though on vacation and only makes sense to try another place)... we returned for round two. This time we shared a Breakfast Panini (eggs, cheddar, salami and roasted peppers on ciabatta bread) as recommended by the "very" friendly staff as a specialty of theirs (not all that special but it was good). We also shared a plain croissant (not as good as the day before though). Though we didn't return for lunch during our stay in Savannah, I did peruse the menu and definitely think it would be something to try; especially the hot sandwich options like Honey Ginger Chicken sandwich or the Chicken Bacon Mushroom Melt. They also have a lot of cold sandwiches and salads (the menu choices are plenty). Next time in town I will be returning... and why not... plenty of menu items, tastes good, reasonably priced, friendly staff, clean and comfortable dining area.

Family friendly breakfast joint in a great location? I'm sold! Goose Feathers is the kind of place that you can see becoming a regular at. The employees are nice, the menu is varied, the food was tasty, and in general I had a great experience taking in some breakfast here! Definitely get the yogurt with honey (it's Savannah Bee Company honey, of course), and I really enjoyed my egg, bacon, and cheese croissant as well. Then, after breakfast, make sure you've got a little bit of time leftover because you're going to want to take a stroll down through all the adorable shops and storefronts that surround Goose Feathers in this part of downtown Savannah!

This place is very busy but they are quick and there is very little wait for food. I had a peach whoopie pie, bread pudding, and iced latte. The peach whoopie pie is definitely too sweet. The bread pudding was very good but it was quite small unfortunately. The iced latte was decent.

The restaurant is a well oiled piece of machinery. The lines are long and the staff is efficient and getting people in, seating them and moving them on quickly. I had to have the "Best Bread Pudding in Savannah" because I love bread pudding and will go out of my way to order it as I did at Goose Feathers. I didn't finish my serving. It suffered from textural faults and the taste was just "ok". Far too mushy on the inside and the outer edges were beyond crispy crunchy. Others in our party agreed the food was average. We are 100% convinced the scrambled eggs are of the powdered and microwaved variety. The brownie to go I found under the car seat days later with a few bites missing. If it had been tasty I am sure it would of been consumed immediately. Who doesn't finish chocolate brownies??!

Worth the wait. Excellent hot lattes and fresh croissants. The frozen latte was a llittle off. More of a slushie than a frappe.

We came across this restaurant as we searched for a breakfast place on our way to the old savannah tours and we were glad we did. We had quiche Lorraine & grits and poached eggs, grits & fruit cup. It was self service, but quick and delicious. A great place for a quick, delicious breakfast without any frills.

Great cafe. Pretty quick service. They left off the avocado on my sandwich (the reason I ordered it is that I wanted avocado) and didn't realize till I was done eating that it wasn't there because the sandwich was so good.

For my first time it wasn't so bad the only thing that threw me off was the grits flavorless n clumpy. Anyway I had the eggaterian and it was very tasty! Next time I come I'm going to come for lunch!

Great food: simple, tasty, fun! While the food is great, what makes this establishment truly shine is its customer service! In the past few years that I have been coming here, I have always been passed with the welcoming, friendly service of Goose and Feathers. Parking can be intimidating, but Park in the nearby structure, and it will take you across the street from the entrance--convenient!

3.75 stars. Simple, easy fare, ordered at the counter then brought to your table. Food is fresh and tasty. Service is friendly and efficient. Coffee is very good. Lots of inside tables make it relatively easy to make Goosefeathers a comfortable go-to spot for a quick coffee, breakfast or healthy lunch in downtown Savannah.

We really lucked out finding this place through the referal of our door man. We came here back in December 2014. Every staff member we encountered were so happy and friendly. Like they really enjoy their job here. Which makes a difference in customer service and the ambiance! If you like poached eggs, try their Bird Nest. We also tried the scrambled egg croissant and the Barnard Street Club. Mind you, I am NOT a bread or flour-by-product fan, but this sandwich was incredible. I can't remember what they infused with their pesto salad dressing but it was incredible. I smothered it all over my sandwich!

Have been here many times as I live right around the corner. Overall, good food for cheap with a hit or miss staff experience. Recommend going for breakfast! The good; excellent food (recommend the eggs benedict, sticky buns!, and fruit croissants). Low price for the quality of food. The bad; normally order to go (recommend this route, long lines normally and you can go eat in the square), but for some reason the staff normally gives an attitude it seems when going this route versus the line (even though there is a separate line and they advertise this).

We walked by and noticed the menu. Everything looked great but we had decided to move on because we had our little dog with us and there wasn't enough outdoor seating. John noticed us and immediately set a table outside for all 7 of us and our dog. The food was great too. Worth a visit.

Long lines move fast. Despite seeing some ok reviews we boldly go anyway. Cool place and the food is not pricey and is of solid quality. They do some pretty nice medleys and takes on old recipes. The Eggs Benedict was really good. Wife had the Egg Bagel and the bagel was, as she said,"perfect". So there ya go. Eat up!!

Stopped in for lunch on way back from Tybee Island. Food was good. Desserts were delicious, we tried the bread pudding and peach woopie pie. My turkey sandwich tasted a bit blan considering I picked the pesto mayo and it did not have real turkey, it was lunch meat and only had one slice. The bread was very good and tasted fresh.

Joanna V.
This is a great fast breakfast spot. They have your usual diner fare along with some more brunchy items. Everything was made of great quality and the servers were incredibly friendly. This is a great place to come have breakfast or lunch. There will be a bit of a line so keep that in mind.

Great cafe for simple sandwiches or a quick breakfast bite! Every time I've gone it's been fairly crowded, but the service is quick. Have yet to try the desserts/sweets....but the bread pudding is supposed to be one of the best in town.

Great for eggs, a sandwich, pastry, coffee, tea. All fresh. Simple but very fresh and well made. Not too much of any ingredient. Clean. Nice system. You order anything you want at the counter, you pay, and go find a table. They serve you at your table very quickly.
(5)
Lauren T.
This place has good food, but it is not incredible or memorable. It is nice to find a quick place with some affordable offerings, but that is all it is. You really do need to get the bread pudding. They do that right. I had the eggs benedict as was not impressed. It comes on a croissant. The sauce is weak, the ham is a bit like deli meat, and the eggs are done over hard. I wasn't as happy as I could have been about that obviously. But when the line is long, never fear, they get you through it pretty quickly and seem to have staff that knows what to do and is on top of it without looking or acting frazzled towards the customer.

So I'm not blessed with the virtue of patience, but this is one place I will line up for. Get there before the lunch rush, or be prepared to line up down the street. It's not so bad as the staff hand you menu's which conveniently can be used as a fan. My mother in law loves the bread pudding and it's pretty freaking incredible. All the sandwiches are fresh and the assortment will keep you coming back. The staff are wonderful and it's truly a must. We've been for both breakfast and lunch and have not been disappointed.

We ate here on a recent trip to Savannah and really enjoyed it. It was a stone's throw away from our hotel, the Andaz Savannah. The place gets packed quickly, but don't let the line keep you from going. The owners have the ordering and line down to a science and were able to get us through the line and served pretty quickly. I got the bird's nest--a "nest" of grits with two poached eggs, some salsa, and cheese. Delicious!!! The grits were cooked to perfection and I'm a harsh critic growing up on grist. The eggs were perfectly poached and I love the unexpected addition of the salsa and cheese. I may try to replicate this at home. Overall, this is a wonderful place for bfast and I suspect for lunch as well (based on bfast).

This is a cool al la carte style restaurant. They have a lot of baked goods like muffins, bagels, and croissants. Their dishes include waffles and sandwiches and grits and other things. It isn't really a biscuits and gravy type place. It's also very quick service. The drip coffee was great too!

We woke up late and we're looking for a place that served a late breakfast. Thankfully we found this place that serves breakfast all day! The Belgian waffles with strawberries and whipped cream are not the best I've had but still pretty good. Even though they were crowded, the service was fast and amazing. We were sitting outside and I dropped my fork and the manager, John, just appeared out of now where and brought me another fork! Overall great experience.

Well prepared food, but not mind-blowing. Tried the Eggetarian, which was a breakfast sandwich on a croissant - the croissant was perfect, as were the eggs, but wasn't memorable; I was hoping the pesto would add some flare, but there wasn't much on the sandwich. Everything is self-serve, so you'll be waiting in line to order and filling your own drinks, along with finding your own seat. Nice to try out, but won't make a point to return.

Raja M.
Beautiful little cafe tucked away in the historic district of Savannah. Great place for breakfast/brunch with a variety of choices. Kid friendly with a kid's menu. Great service from a very friendly staff. This place defines the meaning of southern hospitality. The food is also amazing. Try the breakfast burrito which is not overloaded with stuff, just simple tasty ingredients that come together beautifully. If you're in Savannah overnight, this is a required stop for breakfast.

Mathew W.
Eggs Benedict was good, but the other meal (Bird's Nest) was underwhelming. There were several cracked egg shell pieces in the dish and the coffee was far too cold. Decent, but nothing too great.
(3)
Jim B.
This place runs like a machine; greeter outside was handing out menus at the end of the (short) line, one gal was keying in orders, second gal rings up your cash or credit, if there will be a wait for your food, they give you a tray with a numbered flag for the food runner to locate you. Stopped in on a Sunday about 8:30 AM. Cappuccino and eggs benedict. Came to about $12.00 before the tip. Food was OK but not special. I would try them again for more of the menu. Servers are friendly; decor is nice enough for a cafe. Food came out very fast. Four stars may be being too nice; but it is pretty good overall.
(4)
Steve K.
Good breakfast place--a bit of a line to get in, but worth it. Had the Bird's Nest--a pair of poached eggs over some grits with a ring of cheese around then. Yummy. The bread pudding was even better--strongly recommend getting it.

Brielle P.
No wonder everyone recommends this place.... Very yummy breakfast. I had a breakfast burrito with a side of there breakfast potato... I'm picky about my potatoes and these were the bomb! Even good enough to share with the table cause I needed them to see how good they were. Excellent and tentative service. Food came out fast and hot.

Cheap, reliable food. It's like a diner/cafe/bakery/brunch spot. Nothing is omg-shut-up-and-eat-this fantastic, but nothing is bad. If you are looking for a reliable place to get breakfast or an easy lunch in Savannah, this is the place.
(3)
Jaimi A.
Fast and tasty this express cafe will fill you up and get you out in under 30 minutes if that is your aim. We arrived a little after opening, around 830, and barely had to wait for our food. The line at the counter swelled and shrunk a few times during our breakfast, but no one ever had to wait more than five minutes from order to table. I had the Eggs Benedict, which was tasty, but I was kicking myself for not ordering the Bird's Next which looked amazing (I did snitch a taste from my husband and it was tasty!). I had the bread pudding as well. I wasn't a fan of the marmalade-like topping on it, but otherwise it was tasty.
(5)
Walter S.
This place has been a regular lifesaver for breakfast, Tasty full bodied coffee is a draw. Their take on eggs Benedict with a croissant is tasty, the bread pudding rocks, fruit bowls are a welcome addition, and at lunch we tried a Salmon BLT and a Chicken Bacon Mushroom Melt were both savory. The staff deserves special thanks for greeting folks at the door and offering menus before people get to the counter to order, it really helps everyone and speeds things up.

Jacob G.
While this place had great service, the food was not exactly what I was looking for in the heart of historic Savannah. I was somewhat disappointed by The food. However the pastries seemed alright. Again, the service was excellent.

We stopped in at this charming breakfast spot one Tuesday morning before embarking on an equally charming trolley tour of historic Savannah. Because, when in Savannah, you can't help but do charming things like this. As it was a weekday, we didn't face much of a line: just enough for us to decide what to order. We ordered at the register and then found our own place to sit; there's no wait service. The decor was cute-- bit of a throwback. The vibe was very chill. Lately, I have been trying to order things that are not eggs benedict when getting breakfast/brunch, but I just couldn't say no to the Savannah-style Eggs Benny (served on a croissant instead of an English muffin). It was pretty delicious, and the croissant added an extra succulence to the dish. I also had a refreshing frozen cappuccino. My boyfriend had the bird's nest, which he enjoyed but found very filling. This is definitely a nice place to come if you're looking for a quick, casual, tasty bite. However, if you're planning on lingering, brunching, boozing or anything of the sort, maybe pick somewhere else.

This was a savannah original, and man is it good. It's fast, simple, light food! The quiche I got was good! I love simple and quick food! My husband got a breakfast sandwich and it was huge. And good as well! The waiters were super friendly and so was the manager! Would come back for sure!!

Food was great. Line was crazy. Once you order it goes pretty fast, but the line is a bit annoying. You can do a web order and walk right up to pick up your order so I suggest that. A little thinking ahead will save you time and you could still sit and eat there. Quiche, croissants and waffles all excellent.
(4)
Tara K.
When we got here it was packed! The worst part was coming in from the heat outside and standing in a line that was to the door sweating because it was so hot in there! The heat inspired me to get a frozen cappuccino which was sweet and icy I personally couldn't finish it, but it was refreshing. We each ordered a pastry I got a chocolate croissant heated up and my boyfriend got a cinnamon roll which had a chunk missing probably from where they ripped in from another one so someone else probably got bonus cinnamon roll and we missed out. I'd say the cinnamon roll was better, but the chocolate croissant was really good too. I had a slice of ham and broccoli quiche and it was so delicious, but served Luke warm to cold and I think it would have been a little better if it was warmer. My boyfriend got the special, which was an egg and cheese breakfast burrito topped with house made salsa and he added bacon and every part of that was delicious! The prices are great, the food is great, the temperature cooled off as it emptied out and we were seated. I would definitely recommend this place!
(4)
Sarah M.
This place makes an incredible breakfast sandwich. I got the Eggetarian, and it was delicious. My mom got an almond croissant, which was offered heated, and was equally good. OJ is fresh and tastes great. The prices here aren't that expensive (especially compared to surrounding restaurants), and my only complaint would be the wait, but they move through the line as quickly as they can.

Honestly, I crave this place at least 3 times a week. Their waffles are to die for! They have all different types of brunch food and super fast service. If I lived on Broughton I would get delivery everyday!

An excellent cafe! We were drawn to this place by the immense crowds during the weekend and an off-the-cuff referral by a local. The cafe was clean and they had a terrific selection of pastries and breakfast / brunch / lunch items for sale. I highly recommend their croissants and their bread pudding, heated of course. Goosefeather's prices were very reasonable and the staff was very friendly. Go early if you don't want to stand in line. We will definitely go back. This place was great!

Was in Savannah for a wedding this weekend and stopped here for lunch. I had the special which was a turkey and monterey sandwich with apples and craisons. Wasn't that great. They should have used granny smith apples for more taste and/or a flavored mayo. Sandwich very bland. My sister in law had the chicken sandwich and there was very little chicken on the sandwich. Not as impressed as the other reviewers.

Kristan H.
My boyfriend and I stopped in for a light lunch and the food was delicious. The owner (featured in one the Yelp photos) was very friendly, working the cash register and bringing us our food. Though the options weren't crazy original (normal sandwiches and soups), the ingredients were fresh and that makes a big difference. We were not disappointed.

Oh yea, I can see these guys being very busy pretty consistently. We found the Goose Feathers after making our obligatory reservation at the Lady & Sons. Things were busy, but we moved pretty quickly to place our order and find a seat. I got the impression that they have just enough seating most of the time, if things were any busier we may have stood around and waited. My sausage egg & cheese on a bagel included a ton of egg cheese goodness. My only negative was that the sausage was those mini (but thick) Jimmy Dean style patties. Personally, I'm not a fan of them....so I knocked it down to just an egg & cheese. My partner had the oatmeal and got a huge bowl for his money. It's a nice little place, we'd be back.

I continue to go back to this spot on my trips to Savannah. There are some complaints of price, but if you order the best of the menu the cost is minimal. My husband and I went there for breakfast and ordered 2 coffee's, the breakfast croissant, a side, bagel with cream cheese and jam and the price was just over $10. The decoration and expensiveness of the seating is minimal as this is an EXPRESS bakery intended to feed you quickly and get you on your way. You order, they deliver to your table and then busboys retrieve your used dishes. We are always happy to return and enjoy the large breakfast sandwiches on either croissant or bagel. This last time the owner bussed our table and told us how he came across the place. Such an enjoyable experience we will be continued patrons. Thanks1

Went with my family and we enjoyed brunch here! I split the waffles and ham& cheese croissant with my sister and we loved both! My husband got a sandwich I don't remember what kind but he liked it and he raved about the dark chocolate raspberry coffee! Everything was super yummy, I'd definitely go again!

I ate the quiche with tomato, onion and avocado. It was prepared well. This place lives up to it's name, go here to grab a quick breakfast bite.

Aside from being busy on a Sunday morning, my girlfriend and I decided to be patient and stick it out. We were glad we did. I tried the Eggs Benedict (whoohoo!) and my girlfriend went with an Everything begal with creamcheese and sprouts. Both were fantastic. You didn't get much latte in a mug but it was pretty tasty.

I love this place. I haven't had there breakfast items. Mainly go for lunch. Quiche is great. My fav. sandw. is the telfair-- cucumbers, havariti cheese, sprouts, & herb mayo. All their soups are super & homemade --my favorite is there cream of mushroom -- to die for. My daughter loves the roast beef sandw--which is also very good.

On the advice of Yelp, I stopped here one morning while my new husband slept in. Y'all didn't disappoint - this is a charming and well-run little place. It's a little hard to find, but that's probably just me. Inside, there's just enough room for it to be bustling without being packed. There was a line, but it moved swiftly, and the folks behind the counter were very polite. I had a couple of chocolate pastries and some coffee, and it was all excellent. I wish I'd woken Jason up and brought him over, too!

We had lunch here during our visit to Savannah, and the deli sandwiches were average, but plentiful. I had the cup of sweet potato soup -- very thick and not really hot, but tasty. My husband had the fruit cup -- again, average. The real star here, though, is the bread pudding. That's probably the reason I'm giving it four stars! This is truly excellent and enough to share -- warmed with whipped cream is the way to go. It's a little pricey ($3.99, I think), but worth it, as it beat the pants off other bread puddings we had on our trip. Would return, but maybe just for the bread pudding! :)

This cute and lively place offered a very nice alternative to free hotel buffets. The eggs benedict were tasty & just what I was craving, while my wife had the quiche of the day. A shared bowl of fresh fruit and a couple of lattes made this a very good breakfast experience we would happily repeat.

This place is just average and for what you get, I think a bit on the expensive side. What was had: Belgian Waffle with all the trimmings Two Sweet Teas Slice of Triple Chocolate Cake Bread Pudding Egg Croissant with Sausage Sweet & Spicy Chicken Sandwich Wrap Total was 31$ What was good: Bread Pudding & Croissant Sandwich The rest, mediocre to unacceptable. Belgian waffle was not unique and could have been from anywhere. Fruit on top was fresh but think it just lacked something unique to this particular cafe. Had to ask for syrup and butter, shouldn't that automatically come with? Chocolate Cake was awful. It was stale and had no distinct flavor to call it triple chocolate. The chocolate icing broke away from the cake from the first bite. It was not fresh and the flavors were not good at all. The Chicken wrap was just as bad. The chicken tasted like something that was pre-seasoned and frozen at one time. Ever bought Purdue's sliced chicken breasts from the grocery before? I swear that this is what they were using. A simple fix could be just to buy an actual chicken breast from the market, that is fresh, and season it your own way. There was no flavor to the chicken and it was tough. Looking at it looked like it was pumped full of something from Food Inc, the movie. The egg croissant sandwich was really nice but not worth all the rave I see this place getting. Overall, I think this is just a tourist trap that is listed in the guidebooks. I would not recommend anyone coming here.

My Favorite spot in Savannah for a Great, Quick, Breakfast that's home cooked! Loaded with Pastries and Sweets, Goose Feathers can be Crowded or empty depending on the day. Even if it's crowded, service is quick and you can always find a seat. An idea place to have breakfast when getting ready to visit Paula Deens "Lady and Sons" Restaurant.

Dined here mid-Sunday morning and waited in quite a long line to place our order. There was a line the whole time we were there-- it was worth it though! My husband and I are fans of eggs benedict and each ordered a different version of it and loved them both. We also took a whoopie pie to go and really enjoyed that, too. They have good variety for breakfast and we wouldn't mind going back.

What a great place to eat breakfast and lunch! Lots of options for either keeping it healthy or splurging. If there was a Goose Feathers in NYC, I'd be a regular.

I wasn't so sure about this place as I went in to a long line. I was beginning to rethink my options but I saw that the line actually moved at a fairly rapid pace. I saw something on the menu that I really wanted to try, it looked like an eggs benedict croissant with spinach but it turned out to be the Eggetarian. What looked like ham on the menu was actually tomato and what looked like spinach was the pesto. I may not be a vegetarian but I really had to try it just the same. I am glad I did. It was a great blend of flavors and paired well with their fruit salad cup. I had a delicious peanut butter cup latte which had the perfect amount of everything (coffee, sweetness, flavor). The cafe was a bit noisy so if you're looking for a quiet place to read or relax, this is not that place but if you like a boisterous morning environment and delicious food to start your day, this is the perfect spot!

Being from ny, I am not the authority of southern food but the shrimp and grits were amazing! I also enjoyed a piece of pecan pie... It was lovely but they heated it up in a microwave. Could have thrown it in an oven for a couple of minutes, I wouldn't have minded the wait. Either way, great breakfast in downtown.

Paul L.
I loved this place. it's a popular bakery shop where they make delicious sandwiches full of veggies. Although you can create your own, the menu sandwiches are creative, wholesome and delicious. If you are seeking to eat healthy in Savannah, this place is a must. The prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is a bit hectic but quiet.

Ellie S.
Ate here November 2008. This restaurant looks like the Corner Bakery kind of place but, true to the reviews we easily got a seat and the food was quite good. Belgium waffles are great, ham was good and we had some kind of potatoes with rosemary that were quite good. All and all a good, easy and quick breakfast. Customer service was average.

We will be back when next in Savannah. Great atmosphere, great service, great food. When you're dying for something NOT fast food, and NOT run of the mill, and are greated with a smiling croissant sandwich of breakfasty goodness, or a HUGE fluffy Belgian Waffle covered in fruit, you know you made the right choice.

Great breakfast stop. Just enough to start the day off right and the $8 bill was a surprise for the 2 of us to eat a good breakfast. The Quiche Lorraine was very good and paired with the great service, I give Goose Feathers 5 glowing stars!

My sister really wanted to go to this place, so we went. She loved her "Eggetarian" and latte and I thought my meal of an Eggs Benedict, Potatoes and OJ was just okay. I was a little disappointed that they don't explain that Eggs Benedict is prepared differently there...as in, usually they are on an English Muffin--but there they are on a buttery, fluffy croissant which was weird, and just not what I am used to. It didn't look like what I was expecting and I guess that is where I was let down. If you are going to make things different from how they usually are prepared, write that in the byline or description. Another weird menu item was my potatoes, which were little red round boiled potatoes instead of homefries or tater tots or hashbrowns which was what I thought they meant by "potatoes on the side"...I mean, it was breakfast--I guess I just assumed it would be more traditional. The orange juice was good though. The food was good, but not what I thought it would be.

The best breakfast we had on our 4 day trip to Savannah! So good we actually came back for breakfast 2 times in a row and bought a coffee mug because my girlfriend loved the Goose's bowtie. She says it stole her heart. Very delicious croissants, a great cup of coffee, and most importantly EXCELLENT service. Seems like it fills up quick, but the staff keeps the line moving steadily. Strongly recommended if you're staying at one of the near by hotels and you're looking for somewhere to get the morning going.

Very short walk from River St and there was only a short line on a Sunday morning. This is definitely more of a cafe than a restaurant. You order in line and pickup the food at the counter or they bring out things that take a bit longer. From what I could tell, everything is premade, even the hot stuff. Prices are reasonable on most items. Bagel w/cream cheese was under $2. Juice is fresh squeezed. Fruit is fresh. The Quiche Lorraine was delicious - very rich crust and the filling was delicate. I was a bit disappointed by the bread pudding. It wasn't warm enough and tasted a bit bland in spots. Overall a good place to stop in without having to drive all over the city or spend a fortune.

We went here twice while visiting Savannah. I wish we had a place like this near our house. The food is great and very fresh. The servers are responsive and nice. The granola tastes like homemade and the croissants are delicious. I also love the coffee, definitely quality and not cheap stuff though I do wish they had more of a coffee bar and you didnt have to go ask a server at the counter every time you wanted more. A great place to eat and enjoy a morning before you set off to explore Savannah.

What a great place to hop in for lunch between sightseeing. This place is friendly, lots of tables, clean bathroom, and good food + quick service. What more can you ask for..... and not a tourist trap with overpriced stuff. I got the roast beef w/ multi-grain bagette. Lots of beef w/ lettece + tomatoes inside a fresh bread that's crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with flaxseed and other grains. I'm a bread foodie and this is good. You order at the counter, pay, and pick a table. Then your food is brought to you (almost super quick).

I enjoyed a wonderful veggie sandwich (the Chippewa) and iced tea for lunch on Valentine's Day here. The baked goods looked good, but I behaved. The Lady and Sons is about a block away, but I was hungry early and did not want to fuel that cash machine known as Paula Deen ( I really used to like her, but she has joined Rachel Ray on the dark side).

tessa j.
we are locals and, having a group of nine wanting breakfast with palates all over the place (some carnivores, some only-coffees, some vegetarians) we figured this was a good place to hit for everyone. known as a major tourist place, we hadn't been there for years - back when it was simply known as "express cafe". got there at about 8am on a weekday, got our table no prob. everyone ordered different things (see the crowd, above), and everything was - uh, yes - meh. service, food, surroundings. the espresso drinks were, simply put, terrible. nothing is hand-pulled here - tastes like a mc'd's where they push a button and something resembling espresso pours out. my muffin was overly sweet. husband ordered a side of 'breakfast potatoes' and got three boiled red potatoes on a plate. bizarre. yes, as said before, it's like panera's. like the generic, big menu but everything average at best, marginalized food feel at panera's? you'll like this. by the time we left, about 9:30, the line was out the door. never - truly, it's not worth a second visit, much less a wait.

Quite crowded, with a 25-minute wait, line snaking out the door and onto the street. But with few other options, we waited. It was good food, but man, there has to be a more efficient way of turning the workflow over so people aren't wilting in line. So, if you are in a hurry or need a quick bite, this is probably not your place. If you have time to kill, go for it. The bagel egg/cheese sandwich was really tasty, and prices are normal for this kind of a place ($7-ish for bagel/egg sandwich and water).

This is an AMAZING little cafe. Don't be scared off by the long line of people waiting to get it -- it moves quickly. The food is amazing and fresh. Don't be surprised to find the owner at the cash register greeting you with her hospitable smile. I am a huge foodie and must say all of their food is amazing but my favorite is the scrambled egg and cheese on a freshly baked croissant with a bowl of fresh fruit. Oh and I ask for them to put some deli turkey on there as well and it's never a problem. GREAT spot

This is a solid spot for getting some breakfast before heading out to tour the historic district. The people behind the counter are very pleasant. There's lots of seating, the coffee is decent, and they have a variety of breakfast goods. One day I had quiche and the next a bagel with veggie cream cheese. They were fine, nothing mind-blowing. My husband got a Belgian waffle with fruit and ice cream on top because that's what you eat for breakfast while on vacation.

I found none of the negative experiences of other Yelpers to be true for my visit. The owner was gracious and nice. I think others may have caught her at a super busy/stressful time. She did seem busy trying to make sure her employees were getting things right and there were a lot of customers on this morning. The line was almost out the door. The breakfast bagel and especially the breakfast panini was top notch. The panini took a little while but they brought it to our table and the wait wasn't long. The eggs were fluffy and didn't feel processed or like they were heated from a frozen disk like other breakfast bagel places. The bread and bagel tasted homemade. Coffee was good. Location convenient to the river, near Lady and Sons. This would make a good launching off point for a walking tour of Savannah. Their whoopie pies were excellent! I've had them from different places and these were my favorite. Not too sweet with moist cake. Peach whoopie pies were different and wonderful. This restaurant is definitely on my list of places to visit on our next trip to Savannah.

Eh. Nothing special. The usual breakfast fare made mediocre. Some extras in the menu (bead pudding) but nothing really "wow"-ing. It's a good place to go in Savannah since I don't think there is an IHOP close by. The atmosphere has it's charm.

Sarah L.
My friend: I think this place is ok, if they got rid of the checkerboard tablecloths. Me: And the bugs. My quiche was good (if a bit salty, but whatever it's a diner the quiche is going to be salty) but my bread pudding was GREAT. There is a sign on the wall saying that the bread pudding is "world famous," which I'm not sure about, but it was definitely the most appetizing thing on my plate or any of the plates around me.

I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast from this restaurant! (We visited Savannah just for a few days) I ordered one of the baguette sandwiches with all kinds of vegetables and cheese. When I saw the price on the menu I wondered why it cost that much, but when I actually saw my sandwich I totally understood. It was fresh and tasty and good size (I need a good and big breakfast). I also ordered simple white baguette with cheese, which also tasted rather nice. I have to say, though, I wasn't that crazy about their blueberry muffin. It was very sticky and too sweet for my taste. I still finished it anyway! I got a really good parking spot right in front of the restaurant (metered). I didn't eat at the restaurant - they take orders on the phone / their website, so whenever you show up your order is ready for pick-up. I loved that service since I was on the go. I'll come back again if I am in Savannah.

Kate F.
High points for this locally-owned eatery, and the convenient location and homemade food. We came in for breakfast on a Tuesday morning at about 9am. We didn't have to wait in line. The menu items were appealing and everything was clean. We had the egg-pesto sandwich on a croissant and a spicy sausage breakfast panini. The pesto sandwich could have been better - but it was ok. The panini was really good. The coffee was great. The service was fabulous. As far as touristy breakfast spots go, this would get our vote. Prices were fair. We probably won't crave going back, but we would tell friends in the area to check it out.

This place will always be busy due to great location. The restaurant set-up is ridiculous--and seeing that they have been around for years and still can't or won't try and make a more productive and easy ordering process for the customer is ridiculous. This obviously really bugs me! Making a few changes and adding a register could make the waiting and ordering process much more efficient. Breakfast was alright---just breakfast.

Jae K.
Really cute place. Loved the atmosphere and checkered floors. The service was very friendly and fast. I went here twice while visiting and would definitely return. As a vegan I had some options. The Scarborough sandwich was really delicious (minus the cheese) and I found it reasonable at $5. My father loved the coffee so much he bought a pound of it to take home. I actually ate my sandwich here before my parents trekked down the block to the horrific Lady and Sons--1 star review for that place! Goose Feathers is a much more "Savannah experience."

Bryan O.
The farthest thing from a typical "southern" breakfast place. Actually seemed like something out of tahoe or Colorado ski town. Had the very southern lox and bagel, while the boy had a waffle & banana. No biscuit & gravy or such to be found. Still, really good food, clean and friendly.

The food is tasty, but average. The prices aren't bad for but for the same price down the street, you could likely get something a bit better. It's cozy and the people are friendly... just one major thing: no matter what time of the day I've been in there, they've been sloooooow. Please change your name "express" cafe and bakery. It's misleading.

Goose Feathers was highly recommended. We stood in the line outside on a brisk February day. As an employee came out and handed out menus in order to speed up the ordering inside, someone in our group mentioned we had brought 14 people. When we got inside, we noticed they were moving and setting up a long dining space for 14 people, without being asked. We were impressed! Food was excellent - had Eggs Benedict and cheese grits. Everyone else in our party enjoyed their various dishes, including the Red Velvet Whoopie Pie, Belgian fruit waffle with frozen yogurt, and a variety of egg and sandwich meals. Yay for Goose Feathers!

I went to this place last Wednesday I believe. Anyway, I got a nice bagel with lox and cream cheese. It was great-great tasting lox. The only thing I have to complain about is that, it's way too overpriced. I shouldn't have to pay 7.50 for that. But, I'll definitely for sure go their again, and get something else.

Relatively weak selection of coffee and baked goods but what they did have was tasty. Enjoyed a late and several muffins. Update: Received a nice note from the owner, after I posted the review, asking for suggestions and noting that they try to make just enough baked goods so they sell out each day. Given this, I thought it would be fair to note that we stopped by around 1:30pm so the baked goods selection is likely better earlier in the day.

My parents raved about this bakery, so we stopped here for lunch after we learned that Vinnie Van Go Go's didn't open till 4 p.m. on weekdays. Any place that serves breakfast all day is gonna be high on my list. I ordered the scrambled egg & cheddar sandwich served on a croissant, and I got it topped with bacon and spinach. The cheddar looked to be a white cheddar - not your typical greasy orange stuff - and the spinach was cooked nicely. I am always dismayed when I order spinach on a hot sandwich and you end up with partially-wilted raw leaves and thick stems. Also had a mug of their house coffee that I enjoyed. Matt had their smoked turkey rueben, which was served on rosemary foccacia. The sandwiches were both fairly ample portions, but mine rang up at $6.55 and Matt's at $7.25, so not the world's cheapest given their simplicity. They were satisfying though, and I hope I'll be back to try their other items.

Great fast food alternative. Excellent selection of sandwiches for lunch. Loved the quiche, chicken wrap special that they had, and the whoopee pie. Nice casual local place.

It was 90% humidity and I walked in sweating like a Christmas pig, yet wanted an Americano. Had been shopping for items needed for week long stay so wasn't looking my Sunday best. Didn't get a good vibe from staff. I like the fact that when you order Americano they give you hot water to allow you to decide how strong you want it. Has great desserts but I needed to get home plus just didn't feel welcome in there sad because it's right down from Andaz where we're staying. Won't be back.

So I'm not blessed with the virtue of patience, but this is one place I will line up for. Get there before the lunch rush, or be prepared to line up down the street. It's not so bad as the staff hand you menu's which conveniently can be used as a fan. My mother in law loves the bread pudding and it's pretty freaking incredible. All the sandwiches are fresh and the assortment will keep you coming back. The staff are wonderful and it's truly a must. We've been for both breakfast and lunch and have not been disappointed.
(5)Jonathan S.
This place is a lesson in how to destroy the charm and ambiance of a cafe. From the moment you arrive you're blasted by a corporate churn and burn mentality. You can't take a seat until you order. If you do a bouncer with a microphone will eject you from the seat. The place is packed with tables to the point where the only way to move is to nudge other patrons out of the way. Meanwhile bouncer guy roams the "cafe" eyeballing people who've finished. The not mildly subtle hint is once that final forkful hits your mouth, it's time to leave. All of this combines to ruin the atmosphere. We enjoyed the taste of their famous bread pudding but it wasn't amazing and was overshadowed. The coffee was mediocre. Food at the other tables looked tasty but uninspired; think standard piles of cheese and meat. Overall we left unhappy and pretty upset by the experience that seemed quite intentional by the proprietors. Don't recommend, won't go again.

(5)Lena P.
Busy place for a Thursday late morning, long line but it went quickly and food came out pretty fast! 2 stars: I wanted to see what all the hype was about for the bread pudding...it was okay. Lots of cinnamon if you like that, had cream cheese inside or something like it. In my opinion, it wasn't that amazing as others have mentioned on yelp. We didn't finish it and actually wanted to send it back..but didn't. 3 stars: We also got the Scarborough sandwich and it was pretty good. Fresh ingredients, although their multigrain bread was very hard. Most likely not have been made that day..maybe a few days old. 4 stars: I got the Quiche: Tomato, onion, basil, avocado. This was pretty good, however you can't taste the basil at all, it's not fresh basil, it's the dried seasoning. I liked the crust it had, it was like a pie crust! Yum! I like this dish the most out of everything we got! Note: microwaved to make it hot.. Would rather they warmed it up on the oven or something similar to make it less soft/microwaved tasty. Service was nice, friendly, and pretty quick, they were ready to clean up our tables and get things out of the way for us, which was really nice.
(3)Ryan M.
Goose Feather's definitely beat my expectations. I was rather hungry when we arrived and there was a line just about out the door. That is no reflection on the quality of service though, other than the fact that this place is so good, everyone wants in on it. Everything about our meal was perfect. Bread was fresh and our sandwiches were stacked high. The curried rice and edamame salad was wonderful. With all the appetizing menu selections, I don't think you could go wrong with ordering anything they offer.
(5)Cristina M.
Home made croissants how can you go wrong??? Downtown hommy feel with a hot breakfast to start the day after a long night!!! Staff is super friendly and service is quick! Got here around 9:30m and there was a line but it went super fast! Highly recommend

Good food, but not memorable. I got the bird's nest, which was two poached eggs in grits with salsa and cheese. Good presentation and good flavors but lacked a little seasoning. My husband was not into this place. There were not many "meaty" and fillings options for him. He got the club and said it was okay but was still hungry and didn't want to wait in line again. I would probably try this place again with a girl friend for brunch and a small appetite.

My husband and I decided to make a breakfast stop at Goose Feathers after our hours long drive from Tampa. Parking was a little tricky as we didn't know the territory that well. However, we managed to find an open spot off the main drag, around the corner from Goose Feathers. The line was definitely long as others have mentioned but to me, this is always a good sign. Whether it was due to local fans or tourists, the wait did not bother me much. It actually went rather quickly and most certainly was a good time to review the menu (since the staff were handing out menus anyway). Very smart! The staff here are polite, hospitable and give excellent customer service. Please and thank you, excuse me or pardon me. They keep the place clean and orderly, clear empty dishes quickly and are quick about refilling beverage cups. I would say it was the good mannered Southern hospitality you hear about but I went to plenty other places in Savannah that didn't have service like this. At Goose Feathers, the staff worked cohesively like one machine, including the owner who I saw working just as hard as her staff. I ordered the Eggetarian and my husband ordered the Eggs Benedict sandwich. The eggetarian was absolutely delicious! I was craving a mix of eggs benedict and tomato but didn't want meat or a salad. The eggetarian was a good combination of what I wanted. I think the pesto really makes a difference with this sandwich and was likely the reason it tasted so fresh. Actually, my husband liked my sandwich better than his regular eggs benedict sandwich, which was really good too but he loves pesto. Overall, I would visit Goose Feathers again and see what else they have to offer. We really liked this place!

Great little cafe. Service is fairly quick as most of their entrees are already made or half prepared. Prices are reasonable considering the location. I like their system. You stand in line order at the counter and then you take beverages with you and some food but also a table tent for the rest. The had a large variety. We had the Belgian waffle with strawberries, basil avocado quick and ham and swiss croissant. It was all tasty. We also had the chocolate cake but that tasted a bit more like cafeteria cake. Some of their portions were small for the value or looked like cafeteria food that had been sitting out for a while (fruit and pasta salad for example). The staff was very attentive and they did a great job with the volume considering size.

Loved the veggie sandwich i had with havarti and pesto mayo! The multi-grain baguette that it came on was crunchy on the outside, but soft, chewy and light inside. It was really some of the best bread Ive had in awhile. Its hard to do an all vegiie sandwich right (especially for a meat eater) and this was delicious and very filling. The rest of the group had soups and sandwiches, which they all enjoyed. The food for all 5 of us came out quickly and we were onto our travels after a quick lunch. Be prepared to come in, order/pay, seat yourself, get your own napkins and silverware, then have the actual food be brough out by your server. Lots of choices, lots of desserts! Only sad i didnt get to try the bread pudding!

I've been told once or twice that breakfast is the most important meal of the day... but I still pass on it (just have no appetite when I first wake each morning... Unless I'm on vacation and constantly "on the go", then I work up an appetite. Last visit to Savannah we stepped out of the hotel on our first morning and searched for a breakfast spot (without Yelp and without a car)... Frankly Historic Savannah is rather quiet in the morning but we kept noticing people walking in the same general direction. Granted I'm sure were on their way to work, school or what ever but there was a gathering by the entrance of Goose Feathers. That "gathering" turned out to be an impressively, long line (on a weekday nonetheless). A couple tables outside and plenty of inside seating, customers just wait in line to order at the counter... simple bakery or room temperature items are handed to the customers and hot dishes or items needing preparation are brought out to the table. Dishes varied from typical made-on-the-premises breads, pastries, bagels, buttery croissants and quite a variety of everything that hits the spot first thing A.M. Plus plenty of coffees and teas to choose from as well. That first morning I ordered (2) croissants... one savory (Ham and Swiss Croissant) and one sweet (Strawberry Preserve filled Croissant)... SO PERFECTLY DONE. Marisol had a Lorraine Quiche (bacon, tomato and avocado)... as good as mine was HER'S WAS EVEN BETTER. Breakfast was so good that rather than try another place the next morning (even though on vacation and only makes sense to try another place)... we returned for round two. This time we shared a Breakfast Panini (eggs, cheddar, salami and roasted peppers on ciabatta bread) as recommended by the "very" friendly staff as a specialty of theirs (not all that special but it was good). We also shared a plain croissant (not as good as the day before though). Though we didn't return for lunch during our stay in Savannah, I did peruse the menu and definitely think it would be something to try; especially the hot sandwich options like Honey Ginger Chicken sandwich or the Chicken Bacon Mushroom Melt. They also have a lot of cold sandwiches and salads (the menu choices are plenty). Next time in town I will be returning... and why not... plenty of menu items, tastes good, reasonably priced, friendly staff, clean and comfortable dining area.
(4)Deirdre L.
Well prepared food, but not mind-blowing. The staff is very attentive. The baked goods are very fresh! Cute breakfast date spot.
(4)Gretchen P.
Family friendly breakfast joint in a great location? I'm sold! Goose Feathers is the kind of place that you can see becoming a regular at. The employees are nice, the menu is varied, the food was tasty, and in general I had a great experience taking in some breakfast here! Definitely get the yogurt with honey (it's Savannah Bee Company honey, of course), and I really enjoyed my egg, bacon, and cheese croissant as well. Then, after breakfast, make sure you've got a little bit of time leftover because you're going to want to take a stroll down through all the adorable shops and storefronts that surround Goose Feathers in this part of downtown Savannah!
(4)Jane Y.
Just passing through Savannah and had a great breakfast here. You order at the counter, put your number on the table, and your food is brought to you, and then they bus the table for you. The bread pudding, cheese grits, oatmeal, spinach and feta croissant, and coffee were all excellent! Nothing but praise! We were in at about 8:30 on a weekday, and did not have a wait. Multiple servers/ managers came by to encourage us to get more coffee (which we had in house but they also said we could get refills to go), and were overall super friendly. The place was super clean, as well.
(5)A C.
Even though the line was out the door, we didn't wait a long time to order & get our food. Floor mgr made sure our party of 8 had a place to sit. Amazing food & service!
(5)Laura R.
Love the atmosphere! Fun and casual with very friendly service. Mike is great! The food was much better than expected for a quick breakfast stop, and they have lots of options to accommodate the various preferences of our large group. We'd definitely come again if we're in the area.
(4)Carla T.
A cute little breakfast place. We got there right when it opened so there wasn't really line but it got crowded super fast. I got a slice of quiche, bacon, and home fries. I thought the home fries were great and they came with sour cream. The quiche and bacon were pretty good but nothing specifically special. Would go again. Would love to try a woopie pie next time.
(4)Lauren T.
This place has good food, but it is not incredible or memorable. It is nice to find a quick place with some affordable offerings, but that is all it is. You really do need to get the bread pudding. They do that right. I had the eggs benedict as was not impressed. It comes on a croissant. The sauce is weak, the ham is a bit like deli meat, and the eggs are done over hard. I wasn't as happy as I could have been about that obviously. But when the line is long, never fear, they get you through it pretty quickly and seem to have staff that knows what to do and is on top of it without looking or acting frazzled towards the customer.
(2)Christopher N.
You will not find a better breakfast joint in Savannah! Awesome staff, quick service, great food!
(5)Huy D.
This place is very busy but they are quick and there is very little wait for food. I had a peach whoopie pie, bread pudding, and iced latte. The peach whoopie pie is definitely too sweet. The bread pudding was very good but it was quite small unfortunately. The iced latte was decent.
(3)Simon S.
Food good for breakfast; friendly welcoming atmosphere. But not making your WIFI available for customers - prehistoric!
(3)Rob H.
The restaurant is a well oiled piece of machinery. The lines are long and the staff is efficient and getting people in, seating them and moving them on quickly. I had to have the "Best Bread Pudding in Savannah" because I love bread pudding and will go out of my way to order it as I did at Goose Feathers. I didn't finish my serving. It suffered from textural faults and the taste was just "ok". Far too mushy on the inside and the outer edges were beyond crispy crunchy. Others in our party agreed the food was average. We are 100% convinced the scrambled eggs are of the powdered and microwaved variety. The brownie to go I found under the car seat days later with a few bites missing. If it had been tasty I am sure it would of been consumed immediately. Who doesn't finish chocolate brownies??!
(1)Jackie S.
Worth the wait. Excellent hot lattes and fresh croissants. The frozen latte was a llittle off. More of a slushie than a frappe.
(4)Roy S.
We came across this restaurant as we searched for a breakfast place on our way to the old savannah tours and we were glad we did. We had quiche Lorraine & grits and poached eggs, grits & fruit cup. It was self service, but quick and delicious. A great place for a quick, delicious breakfast without any frills.
(4)Meagan P.
Great cafe. Pretty quick service. They left off the avocado on my sandwich (the reason I ordered it is that I wanted avocado) and didn't realize till I was done eating that it wasn't there because the sandwich was so good.
(4)Reggie M.
For my first time it wasn't so bad the only thing that threw me off was the grits flavorless n clumpy. Anyway I had the eggaterian and it was very tasty! Next time I come I'm going to come for lunch!
(3)Iven S.
Great food: simple, tasty, fun! While the food is great, what makes this establishment truly shine is its customer service! In the past few years that I have been coming here, I have always been passed with the welcoming, friendly service of Goose and Feathers. Parking can be intimidating, but Park in the nearby structure, and it will take you across the street from the entrance--convenient!
(5)Christy M.
Bacon, egg, cheese, croissant made fresh and brought to table HOT! Always line but it moves quick. Service is great, food is great, atmosphere is good.
(4)Stewart G.
Best breakfast around - colorful atmosphere, wonderful food!
(5)Yusing C.
The quiche is good quite a few people waiting in line but the atmosphere is good in general great prize
(4)will c.
The eggetarian was the biz!!!! The line was out the door, but the line went fairly quickly. John was nice enough to get a table together for us while we were standing in line so my 90 year old grandma could sit down. Thank you john!
(5)Edward W.
3.75 stars. Simple, easy fare, ordered at the counter then brought to your table. Food is fresh and tasty. Service is friendly and efficient. Coffee is very good. Lots of inside tables make it relatively easy to make Goosefeathers a comfortable go-to spot for a quick coffee, breakfast or healthy lunch in downtown Savannah.
(4)Jen K.
The food is fresh and fast. Great place for a quick breakfast or lunch, or to grab & go!
(3)Kimmy N.
We really lucked out finding this place through the referal of our door man. We came here back in December 2014. Every staff member we encountered were so happy and friendly. Like they really enjoy their job here. Which makes a difference in customer service and the ambiance! If you like poached eggs, try their Bird Nest. We also tried the scrambled egg croissant and the Barnard Street Club. Mind you, I am NOT a bread or flour-by-product fan, but this sandwich was incredible. I can't remember what they infused with their pesto salad dressing but it was incredible. I smothered it all over my sandwich!
(5)Andy M.
We had the bananas & pecans Belgian waffle, the Bird's Nest, and possibly the best bacon I've ever had! Everything was fantastic and the place had a really nice vibe.
(5)Mike H.
Line was insignificant for a late morning, weekday breakfast. Good eggs benedict although slightly underseasoned. Good coffee, nice atmosphere. I would certainly be a regularly if I lived in the neighborhood!
(4)Jamie D.
Have been here many times as I live right around the corner. Overall, good food for cheap with a hit or miss staff experience. Recommend going for breakfast! The good; excellent food (recommend the eggs benedict, sticky buns!, and fruit croissants). Low price for the quality of food. The bad; normally order to go (recommend this route, long lines normally and you can go eat in the square), but for some reason the staff normally gives an attitude it seems when going this route versus the line (even though there is a separate line and they advertise this).
(4)Kathy L.
Thanks to the Yelper that said to not be deterred by the long lines. It moves fast! We had a table full of delicious breakfast foods for an amazingly good price. I will be back!!
(5)Tara L.
Amazing!!! Had the scramble egg, cheddar and ham croissant and took a chocolate croissant to go! Both were amazing! Definitely my new favorite breakfast stop in Savannah. There is a line but like other reviews state it moves quickly.
(5)Alex A.
I was quite excited to go to this place and grab a nice sandwich with a cup of coffee and granted the coffee was good but the sandwich need a lot of help I ended up not eating more then a few bites it was so bad
(2)Josh K.
We walked by and noticed the menu. Everything looked great but we had decided to move on because we had our little dog with us and there wasn't enough outdoor seating. John noticed us and immediately set a table outside for all 7 of us and our dog. The food was great too. Worth a visit.
(5)Mark O.
Long lines move fast. Despite seeing some ok reviews we boldly go anyway. Cool place and the food is not pricey and is of solid quality. They do some pretty nice medleys and takes on old recipes. The Eggs Benedict was really good. Wife had the Egg Bagel and the bagel was, as she said,"perfect". So there ya go. Eat up!!
(4)Patricia F.
Stopped in for lunch on way back from Tybee Island. Food was good. Desserts were delicious, we tried the bread pudding and peach woopie pie. My turkey sandwich tasted a bit blan considering I picked the pesto mayo and it did not have real turkey, it was lunch meat and only had one slice. The bread was very good and tasted fresh.
(2)Joanna V.
This is a great fast breakfast spot. They have your usual diner fare along with some more brunchy items. Everything was made of great quality and the servers were incredibly friendly. This is a great place to come have breakfast or lunch. There will be a bit of a line so keep that in mind.
(4)Nicole T.
Great cafe for simple sandwiches or a quick breakfast bite! Every time I've gone it's been fairly crowded, but the service is quick. Have yet to try the desserts/sweets....but the bread pudding is supposed to be one of the best in town.
(4)Elizabeth E.
Great for eggs, a sandwich, pastry, coffee, tea. All fresh. Simple but very fresh and well made. Not too much of any ingredient. Clean. Nice system. You order anything you want at the counter, you pay, and go find a table. They serve you at your table very quickly.
(5)Patrick P.
Service - A, they know how to make you feel great:) Food - B, I respect any place that serves a poached egg Coffee - F, over roasted beans, burnt coffee We will be back but just not for the coffee
(4)Roger A.
Seriously fine breakfast.... Croissant, pannini, and waffles...all fresh hot and delicious
(5)Laurie S.
Fresh food, clean restaurant, friendly service. Menu can be a bit overwhelming. I asked to alter an existing menu item and experienced no resistance. They have their system which seems to work. Lines move quickly and orders are received in a few minutes. I would definitely visit again.
(4)Eric S.
Can't think of any cons so I'll skip my usual format of Pros, Cons, and final verdict. This place rocks. For $6.75, you can get delicious eggs benedict on a homemade croissant. My wife got a large plate of excellent grits with two poached eggs, salsa, and cheese for the same price. The food is unassuming, to the point, and very good. The service is friendly, the wait was zilch/super short, and it is in a lovely part of town. Maybe we'll go back tomorrow morning for seconds!
(5)Megan P.
We had a nice fresh breakfast and the coffee was outstanding. They are opened at 7am and everything looked and smelled amazing. My eggs were perfect and my son had a Belgium waffle. My husbands breakfast sandwich was also a hit. We will be back!
(5)Joanna F.
GREAT bagel sandwich on our last day in Savannah. I would definitely come back if in the area for fresh bagels or breakfast sandwiches!
(4)Bryan L.
Great breakfast Quiche, egg croissant, grits, coffee-very filling food All made with extra style Sit down storefront Busy and very efficient Owners taking the orders 12 people work here on busy days
(5)B B.
We were looking for a coffee place near our hotel and the concierge recommended this place. Their coffee was amazing. Their breakfast food was delicious and very reasonably priced...much lower than most places in the historic district. We ended up going there every morning for breakfast.
(5)Elizabeth W.
I came here about two Decembers ago and it was so delicious I still remember how delicious it was but the service wasn't as memorable but who cares when something tastes this good. I ordered the savannah style eggs Benedict and it was the best decision I've ever made. I love eggs Benedict as it is and I'm on a quest to find the perfect one and so far this has the #1 spot in my heart. First of all, it was served on a soft, warm, flaky, buttery croissant and it was such a pleasant twist from the original eggs Benedict. The egg was poached perfectly spilling the yellow egg yolk all over the perfectly savory slices of ham all blanketed with the best hollandaise sauce I've ever laid my taste buds on. It was love at first bite. Every single bite got better, the last bite being the best which is my favorite occurrence when on a culinary adventure. It is my favorite dish to date and I've longed for it ever since, constantly considering taking the drive from Orlando to savannah just to give it another go.
(5)Jennifer K.
Great place for breakfast or lunch. My husband and I stopped here for lunch today. You order first then find a seat and they will bring your meal to you. We were pleased with the service and how light the meal was. I had the chicken salad sandwich (lightly tossed in pesto mayo with grapes) and my hubby had the chicken pita (hot diced chicken, romaine salad, bacon bits, and tossed in ranch) and pasta salad (traditional but lightly tossed in Oil). We enjoyed it so much that we plan on stopping in for breakfast one morning.
(5)Ann C.
While passing through, I was looking for a place to eat breakfast. One of the carriage tours recommended this place. The line was quick (which I certainly appreciate with two restless hungry kids) The menu selection offered excellent choices for kids and grownups. Kids gobbled the scrambled eggs. I had the Eggs Benedict. (My favorite) Fast and very polite service.
(5)Shane G.
I was not disappointed. The veggie panini was flavorful and the gazpacho was the best I've had, so fresh and flavorful. The iced coffee was perfect.
(5)Diane Z.
The panini and bagels were way underbaked. Nothing was golden brown, but rather it was white and pale. I like it better when I have bread items that are crispy and golden on the outside. Also, I'm not a fan of how the restaurant works. You go in and try to decide what you want from the huge menu. Then get in line, order, and pay. Then you take your number and find a table and wait for your food. Eat then bus yourself. Definitely feels like they want us to pay for service that we will not get. I'd rather it be completely self serve or a sit down restaurant. But this hybrid just confuses and leads to resentment by both sides if either does not follow the protocol that is just expected to be known.
(2)Margaret C.
We ate here on a recent trip to Savannah and really enjoyed it. It was a stone's throw away from our hotel, the Andaz Savannah. The place gets packed quickly, but don't let the line keep you from going. The owners have the ordering and line down to a science and were able to get us through the line and served pretty quickly. I got the bird's nest--a "nest" of grits with two poached eggs, some salsa, and cheese. Delicious!!! The grits were cooked to perfection and I'm a harsh critic growing up on grist. The eggs were perfectly poached and I love the unexpected addition of the salsa and cheese. I may try to replicate this at home. Overall, this is a wonderful place for bfast and I suspect for lunch as well (based on bfast).
(5)Christina J.
It's great an all too have homemade foods.... then u demean your own food with your microwave heating process! Really; Why?! Let your guest wait an extra fee minutes. Your product is worth thr respect.
(3)R W.
Great variety of dishes. Good quality. You can have bread pudding for breakfast. Friendly staff.
(4)Lisa S.
Excellent food. Great service. Make sure you are prepared to order for they dont have much patience if you're not ready lol. Good fresh breakfast. Super popular and dont let the line scare you. It moves fast.
(4)Jaycie H.
This is a cool al la carte style restaurant. They have a lot of baked goods like muffins, bagels, and croissants. Their dishes include waffles and sandwiches and grits and other things. It isn't really a biscuits and gravy type place. It's also very quick service. The drip coffee was great too!
(5)Raj B.
We woke up late and we're looking for a place that served a late breakfast. Thankfully we found this place that serves breakfast all day! The Belgian waffles with strawberries and whipped cream are not the best I've had but still pretty good. Even though they were crowded, the service was fast and amazing. We were sitting outside and I dropped my fork and the manager, John, just appeared out of now where and brought me another fork! Overall great experience.
(4)jesse c.
awesome breakfast. this place has hearty and light. great coffee. savannah is a great place to spend the night, but we are often up earlier than others and go walking. have never found anywhere better. come here every time. the oatmeal is excellent. egg and bakery items obviously delicious too.
(5)Torrie F.
Excellent breakfast/brunch. All 4 of us had something different & we loved it all. The line moved very fast & the staff was very courteous & friendly. Definitely a place I will visit again.
(5)Janelle D.
Great choices here - sandwiches, soups, hot beverages, and breakfast all day! Make sure you try their bread pudding. It's a huge serving and it hits the spot. Everyone was super friendly to us.
(5)Kevin K.
Well prepared food, but not mind-blowing. Tried the Eggetarian, which was a breakfast sandwich on a croissant - the croissant was perfect, as were the eggs, but wasn't memorable; I was hoping the pesto would add some flare, but there wasn't much on the sandwich. Everything is self-serve, so you'll be waiting in line to order and filling your own drinks, along with finding your own seat. Nice to try out, but won't make a point to return.
(3)Raja M.
Beautiful little cafe tucked away in the historic district of Savannah. Great place for breakfast/brunch with a variety of choices. Kid friendly with a kid's menu. Great service from a very friendly staff. This place defines the meaning of southern hospitality. The food is also amazing. Try the breakfast burrito which is not overloaded with stuff, just simple tasty ingredients that come together beautifully. If you're in Savannah overnight, this is a required stop for breakfast.
(5)Mathew W.
Eggs Benedict was good, but the other meal (Bird's Nest) was underwhelming. There were several cracked egg shell pieces in the dish and the coffee was far too cold. Decent, but nothing too great.
(3)Jim B.
This place runs like a machine; greeter outside was handing out menus at the end of the (short) line, one gal was keying in orders, second gal rings up your cash or credit, if there will be a wait for your food, they give you a tray with a numbered flag for the food runner to locate you. Stopped in on a Sunday about 8:30 AM. Cappuccino and eggs benedict. Came to about $12.00 before the tip. Food was OK but not special. I would try them again for more of the menu. Servers are friendly; decor is nice enough for a cafe. Food came out very fast. Four stars may be being too nice; but it is pretty good overall.
(4)Steve K.
Good breakfast place--a bit of a line to get in, but worth it. Had the Bird's Nest--a pair of poached eggs over some grits with a ring of cheese around then. Yummy. The bread pudding was even better--strongly recommend getting it.
(4)Brielle P.
No wonder everyone recommends this place.... Very yummy breakfast. I had a breakfast burrito with a side of there breakfast potato... I'm picky about my potatoes and these were the bomb! Even good enough to share with the table cause I needed them to see how good they were. Excellent and tentative service. Food came out fast and hot.
(5)Jennifer A.
Cheap, reliable food. It's like a diner/cafe/bakery/brunch spot. Nothing is omg-shut-up-and-eat-this fantastic, but nothing is bad. If you are looking for a reliable place to get breakfast or an easy lunch in Savannah, this is the place.
(3)Jaimi A.
Fast and tasty this express cafe will fill you up and get you out in under 30 minutes if that is your aim. We arrived a little after opening, around 830, and barely had to wait for our food. The line at the counter swelled and shrunk a few times during our breakfast, but no one ever had to wait more than five minutes from order to table. I had the Eggs Benedict, which was tasty, but I was kicking myself for not ordering the Bird's Next which looked amazing (I did snitch a taste from my husband and it was tasty!). I had the bread pudding as well. I wasn't a fan of the marmalade-like topping on it, but otherwise it was tasty.
(5)Walter S.
This place has been a regular lifesaver for breakfast, Tasty full bodied coffee is a draw. Their take on eggs Benedict with a croissant is tasty, the bread pudding rocks, fruit bowls are a welcome addition, and at lunch we tried a Salmon BLT and a Chicken Bacon Mushroom Melt were both savory. The staff deserves special thanks for greeting folks at the door and offering menus before people get to the counter to order, it really helps everyone and speeds things up.
(4)Jacob G.
While this place had great service, the food was not exactly what I was looking for in the heart of historic Savannah. I was somewhat disappointed by The food. However the pastries seemed alright. Again, the service was excellent.
(2)Laura O.
We stopped in at this charming breakfast spot one Tuesday morning before embarking on an equally charming trolley tour of historic Savannah. Because, when in Savannah, you can't help but do charming things like this. As it was a weekday, we didn't face much of a line: just enough for us to decide what to order. We ordered at the register and then found our own place to sit; there's no wait service. The decor was cute-- bit of a throwback. The vibe was very chill. Lately, I have been trying to order things that are not eggs benedict when getting breakfast/brunch, but I just couldn't say no to the Savannah-style Eggs Benny (served on a croissant instead of an English muffin). It was pretty delicious, and the croissant added an extra succulence to the dish. I also had a refreshing frozen cappuccino. My boyfriend had the bird's nest, which he enjoyed but found very filling. This is definitely a nice place to come if you're looking for a quick, casual, tasty bite. However, if you're planning on lingering, brunching, boozing or anything of the sort, maybe pick somewhere else.
(4)Mary H.
This was a savannah original, and man is it good. It's fast, simple, light food! The quiche I got was good! I love simple and quick food! My husband got a breakfast sandwich and it was huge. And good as well! The waiters were super friendly and so was the manager! Would come back for sure!!
(5)Jennifer B.
Fab chicken salad, bagels and croissants! Friendly owners and lovely atmosphere. Would Co. E back in a heartbeat.
(4)Jess M.
Food was great. Line was crazy. Once you order it goes pretty fast, but the line is a bit annoying. You can do a web order and walk right up to pick up your order so I suggest that. A little thinking ahead will save you time and you could still sit and eat there. Quiche, croissants and waffles all excellent.
(4)Tara K.
When we got here it was packed! The worst part was coming in from the heat outside and standing in a line that was to the door sweating because it was so hot in there! The heat inspired me to get a frozen cappuccino which was sweet and icy I personally couldn't finish it, but it was refreshing. We each ordered a pastry I got a chocolate croissant heated up and my boyfriend got a cinnamon roll which had a chunk missing probably from where they ripped in from another one so someone else probably got bonus cinnamon roll and we missed out. I'd say the cinnamon roll was better, but the chocolate croissant was really good too. I had a slice of ham and broccoli quiche and it was so delicious, but served Luke warm to cold and I think it would have been a little better if it was warmer. My boyfriend got the special, which was an egg and cheese breakfast burrito topped with house made salsa and he added bacon and every part of that was delicious! The prices are great, the food is great, the temperature cooled off as it emptied out and we were seated. I would definitely recommend this place!
(4)Sarah M.
This place makes an incredible breakfast sandwich. I got the Eggetarian, and it was delicious. My mom got an almond croissant, which was offered heated, and was equally good. OJ is fresh and tastes great. The prices here aren't that expensive (especially compared to surrounding restaurants), and my only complaint would be the wait, but they move through the line as quickly as they can.
(5)Sofie S.
Honestly, I crave this place at least 3 times a week. Their waffles are to die for! They have all different types of brunch food and super fast service. If I lived on Broughton I would get delivery everyday!
(5)Warren S.
Enjoyed a morning breakfast here. Had the bird's nest cheese grits -- they were wonderful! The coffee was also a treat. Ordering is easy, and the place light and open. Only complaint, coffee refills require repurchase.
(4)Andy D.
An excellent cafe! We were drawn to this place by the immense crowds during the weekend and an off-the-cuff referral by a local. The cafe was clean and they had a terrific selection of pastries and breakfast / brunch / lunch items for sale. I highly recommend their croissants and their bread pudding, heated of course. Goosefeather's prices were very reasonable and the staff was very friendly. Go early if you don't want to stand in line. We will definitely go back. This place was great!
(4)Lily S.
The comment card that I attached to this post tells all. We stayed at a small b&b across from Forsythe Park and the short trek down Whitaker was well worth the food here. Simple, flavorful and cheap. Don't let the line scare you, it flies.
(4)Dino H.
Great breakfast place. Dont let line fool you because it goes pretty fast. I got the eggetarian (with scrambled eggs instead of poached). Liked it so much that we went back a few days later. Prices were good too.
(4)Evan B.
Great place for breakfast. The place your order and take a seat system even worked on a bust Easter Sunday. The Nest, with a side of ham made a hearty breakfast. Pork sausage and rosemary potatoes with poached eggs made a first rate combo for my wife.
(4)Alie P.
Yum! That is my review. So good. Nice bakery with breakfast, sandwiches, coffee, tea, and baked goods. Casual atmosphere. Walk or pay to park off street.
(5)Marco's L.
One of the best bakery in Savannah . The butter croissant and chocolate croissant are just unbelievable!!! By the way the croissant was one of the best croissant I ever try in the USA.

Breakfast was great! I really enjoyed the grits and eggs. Perfect start to a warm day in Savannah. We got there at 9:15 on a Sunday and had a short wait. By 11 the line was down the block. Go early and head to the river walk.
(5)B R.
Looks daunting when you walk up and see a line out the door but its a counter walk up and order concept. The oatmeal was the best I've ever had and my boyfriend loved his croissant breakfast sandwich! The customer service is spot on which table bussers and managers constantly walking around to check on you. Great food, great atmosphere, and delicious classics! Do it!
(5)Kim D.
Highly rated for the area, and we were hanging out in the City Market area at the right time. We stopped in, encountered a small wait. I grabbed an outside table, while my buddy ordered. We both got the combo (1/2 sandwich plus cup of soup). We got the chicken salad - delicious! My friend got the gazpacho (my first time trying it, pretty tasty) and I got the cream of vegetable soup (REALLY REALLY GOOD). The only thing is that the chicken salad sandwich was more bread than chicken salad and I commented on this when the manager came by. He said it was a "measured" scoop, but surprised me by bringing a cup back with a few spoonfuls more of the chicken salad. I filled my sandwich bread for a perfect sandwich! I would visit it again. Our meal together was about $15 with one drink, before tip.

It's just so good, everything here. I don't even have to provide advice, just come. Actually, the bread pudding is super good.
(5)Mark J.
I came here to escape the daily routine of the hotel breakfast buffet only to end up having a meal which was comparable. After walking in, I looked at the croissants which did not look very buttery and flaky (given the high standard set at the Papilotte nothing less would do at this point), so I opted for a Eggel Bagel. The Eggel Bagel is essentially scrambled eggs on a bagel, to this I added a chocolate muffin. The muffin was excellent but the Eggel Bagel had no flavor whatsoever even salt and pepper could not save it. I could have saved the walk and made my own tasteless bagel and scrambled egg sandwich at the hotel. While the food itself did not do a whole lot for me the service is truly outstanding and that's why I gave it an extra star. Even though I did not try it, the sticky bun looked scrumptious.
(3)Peyton C.
not too impressed. way too hot inside the restaurant. got an "overstuffed" chicken salad sandwich that was barely any bigger than my husband's regular. small cup of fruit for $4. wouldn't come back :(
(3)Jeff G.
Had the Barnard Club and was able to choose from a variety of bread choices. Quick and very friendly service at a reasonable price.
(5)Nina P.
Loved our breakfast here! We checked out a few other places in the area before coming here. We were glad we waited because the food was great! We had the waffle with a side of eggs. The service was quick and was a great experience while exploring Savannah!
(5)Olivia P.
We asked a local for a good breakfast place and got recommended Goose Feathers, we had about a 20 minute wait but it was worth it! Defiant must try while in Savannah, coffee is amazing!
(4)Maria Gabriela O.
Excellent service an unbelievable food. If you ever stop in Savannah you MUST have breakfast/brunch here. The Bernard Street Club (add extra avocado) is delicious! It gets packed, but it is worth the wait for sure!
(5)Cindy B.
I came in for breakfast because I heard that they had aMAYzing bread pudding. I'm a sucker for bread pudding. And it WAS very good. But the item that really captured my tastebuds was the breakfast panini. I'm kind of a plain Jane when it comes to food but I'm on vacation so decided to come out of my box a little. This sandwich has a panini oil spread that exploded in your mouth at the first bite. A little tangy..a lot garlic. That combined with the eggs, peppers, salami (yes, salami for breakfast), and Vermont cheddar cheese on panini bread was one of the best breakfast sandwiches that I've ever had! Only one cautionary note..bring your appetite if you decide to try this sandwich. Or share with a friend, as it is DOUBLE the size of a normal breakfast sandwich. It really was a great meal!!
(5)Ryan F.
Great food, something for everyone. The organic yogurt and fruit was fresh and delicious.
(5)G L.
This place is just good. We went twice during our 4 day visit in Savannah. The quality of bread was great, other ingredients like vegetables and fruits were fresh, the service was amazing even though the place was really busy. You might see a long line in front of the bakery, but it won't take that long. The operation system is very organized, so the waiting is pleasant, and worth to wait. You will experience very warm and active morning of southern kitchen in the bakery. That's more than just having a breakfast.
(5)David F.
We ordered the Garden Vegetable soup to go and was unpleasantly surprised with the lack of vegetables. Should have been called the Garden Broth instead.
(2)M N.
We waited in a line that was going out into the side street. The restaurant is organized and works like a well oiled machine so though the line looks long it moves along quickly, and be sure to know what you want before getting to the counter. The quality of the food was great and surprisingly fresh. Belgian waffle, quiche, eggs Benedict sandwich, and even the scrambled eggs were all done well which can't be an easy task. Every staff member was friendly and even said "we hope you enjoy your visit to Savannah." So yes their are many tourists but I didn't care! I enjoyed my breakfast here. Do not miss this one.
(5)Jared R.
Wow! Visiting Savannah from Palm Coast, FL and found this place on Yelp. Got here early on Black Friday so we missed the long line out the door that formed by the time we finished our breakfast. Everything we ordered tasted great! The bread pudding was moist and topped with what tasted like a caramelized apple spice glaze; the portion size was enough for 2-3 people.
(5)Kelli P.
Friendly staff. Clean restaurant. Wide variety of breakfast and lunch options. Lunch is served all day. Their breads and pastries contain no artificial ingredients to maintain freshness. I had the Barnyard Street club. Smoked ham, white turkey, Swiss cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato and cucumbers. On pita. Yummy. They posted their inspection report. 100% A.
(5)Cecily A.
So good!!! Don't let the line out the door sway you to find another place... The line moves fast and the service is quick. Goose Feathers is a counter order/pay restaurant which helps in the fast service. Everything is al a carte, nice because you can custom make your own breakfast. I highly recommend the eggs Benedict with a side of cheese grits!
(5)Rachel B.
Solid place to grab an economical breakfast! We ate outside and enjoyed the eggetarian, which was basically a croissant, pesto, a poached egg and hollandaise sauce. Yum!! Good service. I can't believe how many people were moving through that place, but it went quick.
(4)Jeff V.
I ate here this morning the place was pretty busy i would imagine for the breakfast rush. I enjoyed the bagel and what taste like a homemade cream cheese. Enjoyed the fact they came and got my dishes when i was finished with my meal .
(4)E F.
Great fresh and healthy sandwiches, so good we ate our entire sandwich! There's something for everyone on their menu.
(5)Owen H.
How this places has any kind of positive review is beyond me the food is terrible. The sandwich has more bread than anything else more cabbage than meat and everything else that I saw people consume looks like absolute trash. I think the reason why it has decent reviews is the only other lunch thing to eat in this area is a McDonald's. The location and concept has so much potentiol. The execution is so horrid I would rather eat airplane food.
(1)Katie L.
Stopped in Goose Feathers for a quick breakfast before heading out of town. The line was fairly long but it moved quickly. I ordered an eggel bagel (egg and cheese sandwich on a bagel), a side of grits, and a large "special coffee of the day". My total was under $10 which was appreciated. The food came out fast and tasted fresh. The bagel itself didn't have much flavor but it was a "plain" bagel. To my disappointment, my coffee was just a regular coffee and not the special flavored coffee of the day but it was decent (and they were the same price so it didn't really matter). I'd definitely come back here for breakfast the next time I'm in town.
(4)Charlie C.
Awesome brunch spot! Goose Feathers is a small bustling cafe with a nice vibe. Though the line was long, the staff is so proficient and friendly that everything moves along quickly. I had the smoked turkey Reuben on ciabatta with slaw, Swiss and a tasty Dijon sauce. Awesome! I can't wait to try more.
(5)John B.
I love coffee, like where are the beans from type. Coffee here perhaps better than SBs but probably not your cup if tea if you are a coffee snob (pardon the mixed metaphor). My waffle was good. Plenty of room and selection. You won't be disappointed but likely not ecstatic either.
(3)Diana M.
This place gets super-crowded. I placed an online breakfast order for take-out. The food was ready in 20 minutes and was really good, particularly the eggs benedict and quiche lorraine. But one item from my order was missing, meaning my kids had to share their breakfast--which caused some drama. The breakfast potatoes were really good. The waffles were ok--kind of soggy, which may be because they were in a styrofoam container while I walked back to the hotel. The prices are very reasonable too. I would definitely return.
(4)Ana R.
We ate here at Goose Feathers a couple of months back - November I think. Unfortunately I was not impressed. I came looking for a blueberry muffin, there was none. I had the cranberry muffin instead. We had several sandwiches and the bread pudding. Everything is just meh. I am giving them 3 stars because I don't want to kill their ratings. The location is cute and is centrally located in historic downtown. Parking is a pain. We paid $20. and parked by Ellis square.
(3)Kate B.
Great little spot for a quick breakfast. Good coffee :) they have a bakery on the premises so all of their bagels and delicious croissants are fresh and ready. Fresh,fast, and just a short walk from the hotels on river street, the perfect spot for vacationers.
(5)Beth L.
When we approached the restaurant, there was quite a line. However, we moved through and placed our orders pretty quickly. The orders were brought to the table in no time, and the food was superb! I had the shrimp and grits and was pleased. My dining partner had the egg croissant and was just as pleased. Don't let the line deter you - the food was delicious!
(4)Jenn S.
I got in at the beginning of the lunch rush, but service was speedy. My sandwich was delivered to my table before I even finished my cup of soup. The waitstaff was exceptionally polite and welcoming. I liked the open, spacious atmosphere. Even though they were busy, it never felt crowded. I was pleasantly surprised at the decent amount of vegetarian options on the lunch menu. I had The Scarborough (yea sprouts!) and it was tasty.
(4)Cathy R.
Stopped in here on a recent trip to Savannah after noticing the place by walking by the day before and also seeing spotting their ad on a local walking map of the city. The staff taking customer orders were very friendly and upbeat. It is difficult to absorb the large menu, so I went with one of the first items listed, the Eggetarian. Yummy. Especially loved the pesto. I went kind of late for breakfast (around 9:30 a.m. on a weekday), so the lines were not long. It did take a bit to get my food, but nothing extraordinary. I would love to see this restaurant in other Southern cities! Cute, clean place with good prices!
(4)Mary K.
This place is awesome. I ate breakfast here two days in a row while visiting. Try the croissant sandwiches! Great coffee too!
(5)Hsin-yi L.
The grilled salmon sandwich was great, and the Smoked Turkey Reuben was fantastic!! The store is very cute, and the owner and the staff are very nice and warm. I enjoyed my experience in this cafe very much.
(5)Michael C.
Hectic but well run operation. Some of our meal (The bird's nest) was great, the sandwiches so-so. Good pricing but definitley not a place to relax while having a coffee and pastry, as they want you in and out, as indicated by the charging sockets being covered!
(3)Donna V.
Everything that you want a bakery/cafe to be. Service was personal. Food was phenomenal. Had a sandwich with havarti cheese, sprouts, and avocado on delicious soft but not squishy bread, just the thing for lunch. Husband had the gingery chicken sandwich on focaccia bread and pumpkin pie, both perfect. Even though you order at a counter, your food is delivered and you're able to get refills on ice tea, etc. Highly recommend this place, they have a wide menu with sweet/savory options.
(5)Anonymous A.
its good and quick for a weekday lunch. Not much else to say about that.
(5)Raeden G.
Just ordered delivery to my hotel from here and I am impressed. So much so, that it has compelled me to write my first Yelp review. And I've been awake since 4am traveling in, so that's saying something. I ordered the Barnard Street Club on Sourdough with herb mayo. This sandwich is really good. Bacon is perfectly crisp, vegetables are remarkably fresh, and the herb mayo really sets it off. Delivery was VERY fast. My only complaint is with the soup. I ordered clam chowder expecting thick, cream-based goodness. What I got was a thin, tomato based, basically vegetable soup with clams. So, avoid the clam chowder, go for the sandwich! You won't be disappointed.
(4)David H.
Saw a commercial for them for approximately three seconds and based on the name alone decided to take my ten year old sister there. This was after vetting them through yelp and checking their menu. I walked in and was SUPER impressed by literally every aspect of the place. Great style, great service, and most importantly great food! Come here if you have picky eaters or if you are just passing through, amazing!
(5)Michael L.
We stopped at this place returning from Florida to NY. The wife was yelping in the car , so we stopped to try it . As soon as you step in to the place you are handed a menu as you stand in line. My wife ordered the eggs Benedict " Savannah style" they ask you how do you want the eggs cooked " impressive" . They wife said they were great . I ordered the Bernard club and a turkey and Swiss croissant . They were both delicious. They coffee was EXCELLENT. I never liked bread pudding but here it was out of this world. The place was great from food and people were friendly. The reason for the four stars : They need to work on better execution of orders. You order and they give you a number and they bring you border. We received our order and was not complete. I waited for 10 minutes and got up to see what happened to my sandwich. YOU NEED TO TRY THIS PLACE AND DONT FORGET THE COFFEE AND A EXTRA CROISSANT .
(4)Tonyne H.
Friendly, well organized staff, amazing food! The Eggetarian (2 poached eggs, topped with sharp cheddar and pesto on a fresh croissant) simply can't be missed, but if you are more in the mood for lunch get the Salmon BLT! If you're there for breakfast, get the Birds Nest grits to share, a huge portion and cooked perfectly!
(5)Tina W.
There's always a long line before I can actually enjoy this awesome restaurant. We had the Belgians waffle with strawberry and salmon BLT. Both are delicious and the service is good too.
(5)Ken O.
This place is absolutely amazing! The eggs benedict and eggaterian are a memorable and delightful experience! Their food alone are a reason to travel to savannah but what also makes them stand out from the rest is the speed and efficiency of their service. At any point in time the line stretches out of the door but you find yourself at the ordering counter faster than you can decide which of the mouth-watering dishes to order. The food will then arrive at your table faster than you can bring the coffee from the ordering counter to your table and add sugar. Wow! That is service!
(5)L R.
We stopped by for breakfast while vacationing in Savannah and are so glad we did! We came on a weekday, so we didn't have to wait in a long line - but by the time we left, the cafe was pretty full. It's not fancy, but it's cute. You order at a counter, pick up your drinks, and then they bring your food to the table when it's ready. It's very well-run, and we had our food within a few minutes of sitting down. Between my husband and I, we had the iced tea, iced coffee, homemade granola, homemade crossaint and egg sandwich on crossaint. Everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. We noticed customers who seemed to be "regulars" whom the staff were (adorably) interacting with. Nice spot to start the day!
(4)JJ S.
This place is amazing! I'm a meat and potatoes type of guy. When my wife suggested this place on our vacation I was a little sceptical. BIG MISTAKE!!!! The breakfast burrito is the best. Simple but really good. There's a line but you get through quickly. The best thing about it is the owner still runs the register. Do yourself a favor, hit this place when your in Savannah.
(5)Kevin W.
Credit another great find to the Yelp app! We stayed in Savannah overnight and in the morning decided we would grab some breakfast before heading to Florida. I would frequent Goose Feathers anytime I am in Savannah! The line was pretty long when we got there, but that moved quickly. They have many options and I have to say the food was outstanding! The freaking waffles are amazing! I also had the Eggs Benedict-Savannah Style and it was equally as good, the croissant was out of this world. Highly recommend swinging by for breakfast!!!
(5)Jennifer D.
Breakfast was great, staff was friendly. Their sweets were good too. There is a reason there was a line out the door.
(5)Lisa R.
For the perfect breakfast in Savannah, this is the place! Fresh baked croissants with eggs and cheese are out of this world and the homemade granola is sublime. There could be a long line, but it goes quickly and the service is outstanding.
(5)Shannon S.
The Pulaski is great! Coffee is delicious! Service is impeccable. Highly recommended.
(5)Lakisha W.
I was downtown with my aunt early in the morning so we decided to get breakfast. I checked on Yelp. The pictures look delicious so we ended up going here. I ordered the specialty for the day which was shrimp & grits and a beach blanket latte with had white chocolate and coconut flavor. I also ordered I ham and cheese croissant to go. The shrimp & grits were very bland. The shrimp taste like they were just boil. There was no seasoning and the grits for watery. My latte had no flavor. It just taste like coffee and water. However, The ham and cheese croissant that I got to go was delicious that's why they got two stars.
(2)Diana M.
Cool breakfast places is not a thing in Savannah so you'll have to remember this place when you travel there. Lots of healthy options and great desserts, and breads, and wonderful quick service. Croissants to die for! Dont let the long lines scare you- it moves very quickly and efficiently. Great Southern service!!
(5)Genea S.
We ate here twice for breakfast on weekdays while we were in Savannah. I am a creature of habit and don't much care for breakfast foods so I had the gazpacho with a 1/2 baguette. I grew up in spain and this gazpacho was excellent! Chunky and full of veggies. I also had a cappuccino and it was very nice. My husband had eggs benedict on croissant and the second time he had oatmeal with apples and walnuts and a bowl of fruit. He loved all of it. Service was fast (you order in line and then get a seat), everyone was very pleasant and nice, the food was hot and cooked to order. The line was not long but I could tell it would be longer on the weekend.
(4)Lissie C.
I came here for brunch and got the traditional eggs Benedict as well as the strawberry waffles. The eggs Benedict comes on a fresh homemade croissant which is absolutely delicious. This is a nice little breakfast spot, just don't expect light/healthy fare the food is a bit rich and heavy.
(3)Vanessa N.
Great place for Sunday brunch. You will probably have to wait in line for a little bit but it's worth it. The staff are very friendly and aim to serve you quickly. I've ordered the shrimp & grits twice & both times it was great. I've also had the gazpacho and curried rice & edamame salad. It's very conveniently located in DT SAV & a popular spot for tourists.
(4)Rick S.
Wonderful bread pudding. Generally very good food. Nice staff. Great downtown location. Reasonable prices. Nothing fancy or elegant here. Just a nice, order at the counter, cafe with great food.
(4)Devon W.
Fantastic food, and a great manager. Lots of baked goodies and fresh sandwiches. Very crowded and noisey, more so self service and quick Cafe. Great for a lit bite.
(4)Morgan H.
bagel and lox was just average
(3)Jon B.
We had a wonderful breakfast here. Great savory croissants, coffee was full-flavored and a blessing on the rare 40º day in Savannah. We'll be back tomorrow...tune in for the review!
(5)Doug W.
The food was great and the people were amazing.ate there 4 times in our week stay.will miss goose feathers
(5)Michael S.
Amazing breakfast experience. Croissant, breakfast panini, cinnamon bun, sticky bun, whoopie pie. Family loved everything. Great atmosphere, friendly service. Would recommend to everyone. Can't wait to come back.
(5)Andrew G.
Wonderful, hearty breakfast. Went 3 times within a week long vacation. Got different things each time. Not a single bad dish.
(5)Courtney Z.
We for breakfast before leaving town, and wish I would have found it day 1. The line is long but moves quickly. I got the best grits in town and my hub got the special salmon. The hot chocolate is amazing. In the end we got breakfast and some baked goods to go for $25.
(5)Brian M.
They have got.to have somehing going on judgimg by the lines that exists daily. I stopped by for breakfast and the goodies in the bakery case looked delicious. Everything on the menu looked and sounded delicious as well. I opted for coffee and the eggs benedict on a croissant. While neither was bad, I would also not classify them as memorably delicious. The coffee was meh, the ham and eggs were just right and the croissant was both fluffy and flaky just as it should be. So whats holdimg it back? Yuppers the Hollandaise-way too thin and runny for my tastse and really tasteless unfortunately. It looked and tasted like bland yellow Half&Half. That being said, I will return, at least to check out the bakery case's goodies.
(3)Eric R.
Come here! We got the eggs Benedict, the breakfast paninni, and cheese grits. The fruit bowl was ripe and fresh. All were wonderful and the service was fast!
(5)Danielle D.
Great experience here. There are lots of different choices and the prices are very reasonable for it all. My husband and I had bagels with lox and cream cheese and it was good. We also took some croissants home and a pumpkin whoopie pie. The pumpkin whoopie pie was out of this world. The filling was delicious and the pie was extremely moist with a great pumpkin flavor. Would be a regular if it were closer.
(4)Colin K.
We went twice and the experience was great both times. At first, waiting in a line out the door is off putting. But they are efficient and after ordering, your food is out very quickly. Between the two visits, we had a bacon egg and cheese croissant, bacon egg and cheese bagel, breakfast panini, grits with cheese, pecan pie and the bread pudding. All of the items were outstanding, but the breakfast panini and bread pudding really stood out. Also, the flavored coffee of the day is scrumptious. We had caramel cream the first day and raspberry mocha the next. The caramel cream was certainly the best, but the raspberry was good too. All in all they're very friendly, the operation runs smoothly, the prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. If you go, it's worth the wait.
(5)tom b.
Great food great service. good operation. it is crowded but it doesn't feel like it. The food and service is better than panera. it seems to be completely staffed by grown-ups
(5)Kurt S.
Craving bagels and we were in a rush so I grabbed some breakfast sandwiches to go. The guy (manager) taking my order was downright strange and when he messed up my order he got relegated to making coffee. The bagels themselves weren't terrible, but I wish they had cheese bagels. There was no american cheese so I got swiss and the wife got cheddar. Ham, egg and swiss on a bagel turned out fantastic. Not bad for a down south bagel I guess!
(3)Bob S.
i was looking for a reasonable spot for coffee and breakfast. i had a croissant egg cheese and ham sammich, no pork roll available sadly, but it was a good sammich none the less. i went with sweeet tea, nice stuff.
(4)Andrew B.
Easy place for breakfast. Nice decor and character. Food is quick and simple. The sandwiches were nice, but the quiche was just reheated in a microwave which didn't taste that good.
(3)Omar S.
Surprisingly good, inexpensive, and local. We stopped here two times for breakfast on a recent visit to the Historic District. Friendly staff, fast service, reasonable prices. Hot dishes were generous (one dish is enough for two people with moderate appetites to split), iced coffee and espresso were decent, orange juice wasn't pulpy. Pecan pie was very good (not oversweet or overly set). Mini whoopie pie is the right size for a taste (a whole one is way too much sugar). Everything was fresh and good. Only complaint would be the lack of hot sauce / spice for the egg-based dishes. Definitely recommended.
(5)Cristian B.
Croissants. Wow. Delicious. Nice atmosphere, friendly workers, fast service, AND really good food. I had the egg croissant with spinach and yikes.... Don't think I've ever had a croissant this good. It was so buttery, soft, and flakey. Perfect portions and balances flavors.
(5)Matt F.
Great Place! We had the Eggetarian, a bowl of delicious homemade grits and a spinach and feta croissant. Breakfast all day! Plus they are dog friendly on the patio. Staff was extremely helpful.
(5)Moore L.
Could use some competition in the area. The seating arrangement is very unclear at Goose Feathers-- typically in casual deli restaurants like this, patrons can choose their own seat. So, when we entered, I had my daughter who was suffering from a migraine while traveling with us sit down at a table immediately with plans to order for her. I kid you not she was asked to stand up as she had not ordered yet. We certainly would've left if it hadn't been for needing to feed our hungry family. Their policy, regardless of on par food, reflects poor manners and misinformation.
(3)Jessica C.
Lines, lines, lines... there's a reason for it. They do their best though... menus given out so you can hit the order station prepared, and then you move on to a different station to pay... pretty efficient system but they still don't have enough tables to handle the throughput of customers! We were visiting from out of town and saw the place while wandering the night before. Compared to the offerings at our hotel, the "Andaz," this place was a dream come true and by comparison cheap as dirt for Heavenly bites. Both my partner and I ordered variations on Eggs Benedict on a croissant an "Eggetarian" and a straight Eggs Benedict. Mine (the Eggetarian) was absolutely perfect and cooked just right, eggs nice and runniy poached... my partner's not so much. Gordon Ramsey would have gone ape! "It's the customer's privilege to break their egg! " Hers, alas, were done hard... overcooked.. but STIll too yummy to bother sending back Would definitely recommend and do again and again. Just slather me in Hollandaise and call me Momma!
(4)Erica T.
Delicious, quick and efficient! What more could you want in a breakfast place. I had the daily special, a Forsyth, it was a delicious egg with cheese, onions and peppers on a croissant. It was perfect! My husband enjoyed the sandwich he ordered as well. Very good coffee. Warm and inviting atmosphere.
(4)Carolina M.
This place is to die for. I went to visit Savannah for the second time and arrived there just in time for breakfast. I definitely recommend the Birds Nest. I'm not a fan of grits at all but man oh man do they make the best grits with a generous amount of cheese. I also recommend the breakfast panini and peach mini whoopie. The atmosphere is very cozy as well.
(5)P K.
Great spot to get breakfast. Line of people to get in but moves fast. Location right off Ellis Square is perfect. Lovely space with tables outside. Service was excellent and everyone was so nice.
(4)Kalvin P.
Stopped here during a visit from New Orleans. There is good reason that the locals eat here. The food is great, and inexpensive. My buddy ordered the Eggetarian and I ordered the Birds Nest and Belgian waffle with syrup and strawberries. The waffles were golden brown with a nice crispness to the outside, the strawberries were fresh. My poached eggs were perfect. The grits were light and not oversalted, which really let the flavor of the cheese come through. My friend's Eggtarian was amazingly good. I would definitely recommend this eatery. I am surprised at how affordable the prices were given the quality of the food. I wish they would open up a location in New Orleans. I would be a frequent patron.
(5)Blake H.
Our FAVorite breakfast place! Fantastic breakfast sandwich with pesto, cinnamon buns and sticky buns (must arrive early to snag one of those), grits, etc. I also love to grab a cup of hot cocoa to walk around with post breakfast. Wait can be long, but worth the wait!
(4)Rebecca S.
On our roadtrip through the South I was insistent we stop in Savannah. With only one hour to spend, our condensed tour of this quaint little town led us to Goose Feathers, where we figured we could get a quick lunch and dine on the sidewalk. After ordering at the counter, we were promptly brought a ham sandwich for the bf and a spinach salad, add salmon, for me. Both our meals were pretty straight forward and tasty. My salad ($5) plus salmon ($3) was quite the steal, given that it was a good portion of salmon. We both agreed that $16 for lunch for two people, plus great service, and a pretty sidewalk setting made for a nice meal. I'd recommend Goose Feathers to anyone looking for a quick bite in Savannah.
(4)Peter L.
Great fresh sandwiches. Belgium waffles are perfect and decadent. Staring at the fresh baked goods and saying "ooo... should I? Yes!
(4)Kim W.
Wonderful restaurant. My sister and I enjoyed our first visit so much, we came back the next day. Don't worry about the line out the door. The line moves fast and the staff are very good at clearing tables and ensuring there is a seat for you after you order your food. The apple and ham croissants are fabulous. The coffee, mocha, and cappuccino are served hot and tasted very good. We also had the oatmeal, egg croissant sandwich with ham/spinach and the club sandwich. All very delicious. The service is fantastic and the staff attentive.
(5)Samantha P.
great place to grab a quick bite to eat. the pastries all looked and smelled fantastic. I chose the breakfast burrito special which was great! it was a busy spot with a long line but the staff was quick to turn around tables. The place was very clean, staff was very friendly, food was great. highly recommended!
(4)Hansje G.
We were greeted at the door with menus. After a little bit of confusion we figured out how to order. The cappuccino was excellent. The "birds nest" was a little bland and the grits were a little soupy. Other then that everything was great.
(4)Annalisa W.
The first morning in Savannah we awoke starving and wanting breakfast. We were afraid that it was too late to order breakfast but we were right on time! Service was impeccable let me say first off. From order taking to bussers clearing plates, I was impressed. I've been to fine dining establishments were the service was less attentive and completely lacking. Definitely reminded me I was in the south. Everyone was so polite and genuinely nice. I digress though, let's get to the food! I ordered a croissant breakfast sandwich and truth be told I can't remember anything else. I know my boyfriend was eating but I was so wrapped up in this fluffy, tasty breakfast that I just blanked out. The croissant was perfectly buttery and flaky. Not crumbling apart or dry at all. My fingertips just melted right into the bread. The eggs were well seasoned and the cheese and bacon just made me happy! Perfect way to start the day!
(5)Alyson H.
I had the egg croissant with sausage and a latte. Great way to start our day. Very friendly staff!
(5)Aubrey K.
A bit of a long wait but staff keep a close eye on the line, distribute menus and answer questions so that by the time you are at the counter to order you have a solid idea of what you want. Counter staff very friendly and helpful, no sour faces or fake smiles here. Food is beyond delicious, all egg options were amazing, grits is solid and the fruit and berries were beautiful and fresh. They do have some gluten-free options, including gf bagels and toast, which was a big plus for us. Highly recommend, esp if you snag a seat outside in nice weather or inside by the window if its raining. This was an unexpected huge hit with the whole family.

On my way to Papillote, I saw a line around the corner, and I had to stop by. The Ellis Square location and the sheer convenience of variety makes Goose Feather's a popular destination for folks. We tried the Shrimp and Grits, Bird's Nest (poached eggs in grits with cheese and salsa), and a Turkey and Cheese Croissant. Nothing was that great, honestly, but it wasn't that bad either. I advise you to avoid the stuffed croissants as they are premade and oily. The coffee wasn't anything special. If you're a tourist (as I was), this place is good to visit if you are looking for reasonably priced items that are good for on-the-go.

This is a great breakfast place. The food is great service is good. It's very busy for obvious reasons. It could use a little bit of organization, but overall great experience!

Came here for breakfast at the tip of fellow Yelper! Karley :) Parking was easy since it was a Monday and not yet lunch time. SO and I decided on a round of OJ's, a bowl of grits, ham, a sausage egg and cheese croissant and I had the eggs benedict. O...M...G... those eggs benedict were amazing! It is so hard to find a place that can do poached eggs right! The croissant was huge! The portions were very generous (seriously, you can share the bowl of grits between 2 people!). The service was so nice and friendly, we never felt like we were being rushed out. It was such a nice way to start our day at the beach. the prices were great too, you can share a plate or have one all to yourself and your wallet would barely notice. I can't wait to go back.

Ordered a tomato,basil, onion and avocado quiche. It was amazing and low priced for the quality. The cappuccino that I ordered was okay. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and the employees were exceptionally nice and attentive. If I pass by Savannah I will be visiting again.
(4)Danny A.
The place was crowded and the line was kind of long, but the food was good. We had the spinach & feta quiche which was good, and the Turkey Reuben. The Reuben was good, it had a different style which was creative, but it had a bit too much oil. It wasn't too bad just a bit. The bread also had too many little herbs that got stuck to my fingers. The Eggetarian Sandwich was too squishy and the flavor was a bit bland, it just tasted like pesto.
(3)Stella M.
Great coffee (Georgia pecan coffee) and quick breakfast options. Prices are similar to Einstein's or your typical bagel shop. Great deals if you like small orders like me, I ordered two poached eggs and it came with toast and preserves- less than $4. Right by a lot of great sights downtown too. I highly recommend it for a quick and not so heavy bite to eat. You can save money and room for a heavier meal later ;)
(4)Ashleigh L.
I'm giving this place 4 stars because my boyfriend loved it. On my own, I'd give it 3 stars. I had the Eggetarian with cheese grits which were all fine, but nothing to write home about. The cheese on the grits was not melted and I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to get any flavor out of the grits. The Eggetarian was fine, but a little bland. My boyfriend had the Eggs Benedict, which he raved about. He also got the oven roasted potatoes on the side, and they were phenomenal. By far the best thing I ate while there. I'd probably go back, but more to please my boyfriend and get a decent meal at a cheap price. Also, don't let the line discourage you if you do choose to go - it goes quickly and there's a surprising amount of seating inside.

The decaf coffee is SO good here! But don't ask for iced coffee, it's way watered down. You get free refills, which is always a plus. Service was very friendly and welcoming. Since we were here during the summer, there wasn't a long line. Giving a lower rating for a few reasons: 1) I couldn't remember which place this was. If it was super memorable, I'd be able to write a review now. My memory doesn't suck that much lol. 2) The bread pudding was a huge disappointment. Granted, we took it to go, since it was too early to have bread pudding. Still, it was not very palatable. I can eat bread pudding that's hot or cold, I'm not picky. This just wasn't that appetizing. 3) Eggs were ok, but nothing special. The roasted potatoes were good, but not very memorable either. Cute concept, cute place, super nice staff. But the food I received was just ok. Prices were fair, though!
(3)Todd M.
my party ordered the shrimp and grits, breakfast burrito and the birds nest. They were all good bit just kinda plain in my estimation. its old peoples food for sure.
(3)Emily B.
Service was friendly! I got a chai tea latte and egg bagel sandwich and it was delicious. Bring your own hot sauce though because they don't have any here! Overall great experience for breakfast in Savannah!
(4)Doris C.
Not only is the food quite delicious, the service is extremely friendly and efficient. When traveling, we usually don't repeat visiting the same restaurant, but for breakfast we have returned everyday.
(5)Dawn T.
Oh, the atmosphere is wonderful, relaxing, sunny, and warm. The people here are great, very welcoming! The food Is delicious. I had the "birds nest", a wonderful bowl of perfectly cooked grits, poached eggs with homemade salsa and the most delectable white cheddar cheese. I was going to take a picture but I ate it up! You will not go wrong coming here!!!!
(5)Douglas W.
I've been a couple times now. The coffee is average to not very good. They didn't know what Swiss water processing was. I tried a croissant and it was doughy and greasy and just plain awful. It's a nice looking place and everyone there is completely invested in your experience but I don't think there is anyone there that knows a great deal about food. The taste level is really low. It's convenient to downtown and there aren't a lot of choices so we ended up there again and now I remember why I forgot it in the first place.
(2)Gigi C.
Do I wanna go again? No thank you. Long line, unusual buns that they call a croissant. even the espresso was just barely palatable... We left, threw our food away and went somewhere else.
(1)Alex P.
Best croissant I have ever had. I had the eggiterrian and I'm not a big fan of poached eggs but it was amazing. Come early bc things do sell out. They are great with Pets too.
(5)Brandon B.
Best breakfast place in Savannah. I'm not a foodie by any stretch (I eat to live, not live to eat), but this place's food is something special. They make some of the best egg croissants I've ever had. I've been there about 6 times now and every time it's been great. I was there 3 days ago and had a delicious egg croissant with spinach and it couldn't have been any better. Great staff, beautiful interior, and outdoor tables as well. Located very close to the shops and restaurants of Market Square, Goose Feathers is also in walking distance to a lot of other nice areas. Being in the busier part of town though, parking is a little harder to come by (although parking in Savannah really is cheap when you find it), but that shouldn't deter you much. If you want a more local residential breakfast experience you might try Clary's. Their food is a little bit of a step down, but the place is wonderful and worth a stop for sure at some point. Bottom line, Goose Feathers is easily the place I recommend to folks looking for a great casual breakfast without any fuss. If you're staying along Bay or River street, definitely this is the place. But even if you're a little further away, it's worth the trip.
(5)Nicole W.
This place was worth the wait in line! The eggs benedict were perfect! the hollandaise sauce was creamy, the ham was salty and thinly sliced so it was overpowering. I added 2 slices of tomato for some color and all of that in between a buttery flakey croissant. Mmmm brunch doesnt get better than that. It was a decento protion but I had a cup of fresh fruit and it was a perfect meal. The coffee was ok, but I went for the food not the coffee.
(5)Patty W.
Is there a wait? Most likely yes. Is it worth it? Yes! Even though the line looks like it will take forever, it doesn't. The staff moves at a fast pace and is pretty quick about getting the orders out. Plus, you can browse through the menu and decide on what you want before ordering. There is also an option of ordering online or calling ahead for the dreadful waiters. We were given 2 huge croissant sandwiches stuffed with eggs, sausage, and cheese. They were buttery good. The bread pudding has its originality. It had a nice sweet texture to it. I am going to try the hot chocolate if I make an appearance again. Probably a couple more pastries too ;)
(4)Annie L.
The carribean clam chowder was delicious. It was perfectly creamy and loaded with veggies. The bread served with the soup was perfect, but I wished they gave a bigger helping of bread because I ran out pretty quickly! I also tried their club sandwich. I was pleasantly surprised with lean pieces of bacon (is that possible?) that was still crispy and delicious. The sandwich was pretty large. I also ordered the baked sweet potato, which had a "holiday" feel to it. 1 club sandwich + 1 cup of soup + 1 baked sweet potato = $12. Don't be scared by the line that may be out the door...the line moves very quickly. They also hand out menus when you are waiting in line. Very efficient and quick service!
(5)Jeff L.
Stopped for lunch at 12:30 and waited in line out to sidewalk 10 minutes. Counter staff was efficient, courteous and helpful. Chicken curry soup very tasty but lacked chicken. Bread fresh. Italian panini sandwich quite nice. Coffee good and served in a lovely GF mug. Con: No wireless connectivity...c'mon. ..it is 2015!!!
(4)Jade C.
Goose Feathers was an impulse stop as we had just left our tour trolley and was in need of immediate roughage. My bf had the map and continued to pick eateries which requires a 4 or 5 block hike and so I simply Yelped the closet establishment and this was it. It was typical fast cafe lunch food, which I have an appreciation for - beats greasy fast food. I had a potato soup and quiche, soup was lovely, quiche was fairly bland but edible. Bf had a sandwich (I don't remember what was in it, but he wasn't overly enthused by it), and a vegetable and ham soup, which was the most delicious thing of everything we ordered. I saw a lot of students using this place and appreciated how local it was from the main downtown area. Probably would go back there it was I in Savannah because there are just so many options to eat out, but this place is ok for eating on the run.
(3)Lillian E.
I was there on a Sunday and the line was out the door! We waited for about 20 minutes and it was definitely worth the wait. I got the eggs Benedict (which they serve "savannah style" on a croissant) and my boyfriend had the birds nest. They were both FANTASTIC. We shared a cinnamon bun as well, so at the end we were stuffed but content. Great food and great atmosphere. If there's a line, wait in it---it's well worth it!
(5)Emery E.
I can assure you that with a last name like Eaton, I am not only an expert in dinner, but breakfast also, so trust me when I recommend a restaurant. Goose feathers gets a great recommendation from this food lover! We stopped in for breakfast, 4 adults and two children. The line was a little long, but that's expected in a restaurant that is great. The fresh baked pastries were spot on, and were served immediately at the counter. Since I had two trays to bring to my table the cashier asked if I need help. Very nice! The breakfast burrito I ordered was delightful! Eggs, turkey sausage, and spinach, with a great house made salsa over top. You can build your own burrito. Te value was exceptional to feed 6 people. The only negative is this: get all you may need off the bat, because if you think you may want something else, (my son wanted some sliced fresh fruit after we already ordered) you will need to wait in the long line again.
(4)Ama L.
Service was quick friendly and efficient The croissant with egg, cheese and bacon was delicious . The fresh orange juice was wonderful . The price was great . Located in the heart of downtown Savannah .
(5)Thom S.
As you talk up the street you first notice a line extending out the doors. It is normal but your wait won't be long while you look at all the delicious items on their menu. The bread pudding is by far the best in the world. My wife have the black bean burrito, it was so fresh and flavorful!
(5)Karen T.
We ate here a few times for breakfast, they were very friendly and the location was pretty good. I would give them 3.5 stars if I could. Food was good, not great, the special coffee was good but the regular was just so-so. Only thing I didn't get is that they wanted to take your tray the second your food was delivered. You were welcome to eat and drink your coffee, they weren't rushing you out, but for whatever reason they wanted the trays the second we were done with them, just kind of strange. If you're by the square and looking for a breakfast spot, I would certainly give them a shot. It was also nice that they had some tables out front where you could sit if you wanted to people watch/watch the square.
(3)Joel S.
Great food, quick service with what appeared to be a long wait by the line and very clean!!!!
(5)Jessica S.
Fast, quality food. The seating outside is covered, so dining in or out is good in most any weather. I had a basic bacon/egg/cheese breakfast sandwich in a croissant and it was great. My boyfriend ordered the birds nest and the grits were pretty runny for our liking. Great service.
(4)Alexandra D.
Do you have any idea how amazing it feels to go into a restaurant and see words like "Gluten-free" and "organic" on a restaurant menu? As a health food nut, there is nothing I loathe more than showing up somewhere with maybe one vegetarian option, something that came out of a freezer bag, et cetera. At Goose Feathers, the menu is absolutely unbelievably good. Everything come made-to-order and is fresh and homemade. They have something for everybody. The service is exceptional, as well. Our group of six was doted on by the staff, which is highly unusual in a casual dining atmosphere. We will definitely be back again and again!
(5)Gina H.
Simple cafe with great food and great coffee. We got the eggs Benedict Savannah Style. It was simple but really yummy, especially the home made croissant it was on. I also bought the carrot, walnut breakfast bread with the intent to just try it and ended up eating the entire thing!!!
(4)Bailey B.
I spotted the Goose Feather Cafe after I carefully solicited directions from the hotel staff concerning the location of a drug store, closely examined the courtesy map, cleverly left the map at the hotel, and conscientiously started my trip by turning left, instead of right, at the hotel door. Immediately I was lost. I passed the Goose Feather Cafe several times and from different directions. I noted the charming cafe chairs, made of wood (Homage to Gebrüder Thonet, pioneer of bentwood furniture and progenitor of modern notions of the cafe chair? Could be...) and shaded under a green awning fronting tall glass windows and thought, "Say, that looks like a French cafe. I bet they have breakfast!" Eventually I did locate CVS. I quickly failed to find my items, met my wife, and resumed searching for this cafe. "I don't know what it's called. It has cafe chairs out front and a green awning. It is probably a cafe and might serve breakfast. You can't miss it." I am glad we didn't miss it! This was a Thursday morning. There were only a few patrons. The extensive menu covers a fabulous variety of breakfast and lunch items, with an emphasis on French food and coffee. I had a double espresso and a fruit bowl on the first visit, and noticed that the espresso was excellent and the fruit was fresh and cut that morning. We sat at the charming wooden chairs in the shade of the awning and were extremely happy. By Saturday we knew it was only a two minute walk from our hotel. We returned with our friends. Whoa! It turns out that this place is famous! A line stretched out the doors and well down the sidewalk. We waited, and twenty minutes later were seated and enjoying a wonderful breakfast. You can't go wrong, here! Everything is fresh. Everything is real. I haven't had a croissant so fluffy and fresh and buttery since Paris in 2005. The prices are reasonable. Beware that the rest of Savannah already knows this, and the tourists apparently all read Yelp. Visit on a weekday or arrive early and expect to wait.
(4)Ben H.
Excellent choice for lunch!
(4)Tommy G.
This place has delicious a breakfast and lunch selection! They have gluten free bread for sandwiches and baked goods :) They also accept SCAD card. Very nice staff, not much else to say!
(4)Clara S.
Oh my,... The pesto egg sandwich was addictive! Instead of waiting in line, call your in order to go and eat in one of the wonderful parks..... You will be able to skip the line and keep on enjoying Savannah that way!
(5)Simeon C.
Ordered the Eggetarian: Two poached eggs with cheddar pesto, tomato and hollandaise on croissant . It was delicious, the addition of pesto made it a flavor combo I had never tried and made it superb.
(4)Kevin B.
Very good casual breakfast. We ate here three times during our trip. The food was all good. The owner is on site and actively involved in the prep and delivery of your food. My favorite was some a sandwich called the Eggetarian except I had them add bacon. It was over the top. There can be a bit of a line because their ordering process is not very efficient. But it's worth the wait!
(5)Jamie B.
Stopped by this popular spot for brunch. The line gets long but don't be deterred as it moves fast. They have a small troop of busboys that keep the tables clean. You can really make your own meal here. I had an apple cinnamon oatmeal, bagel, oj, and coffee. Order at the counter and they deliver. It's a comfortable, casual place. Staff is friendly for the most part. Nobody really checked in to see if I was happy but maybe that's just not their thing. House newspapers are available too.
(5)Julie P.
Brunch was dreamy~ my family of 7 had 3 waffles (crispy and covered with strawberries and a generous heap of whipped cream), Eggs Benedict (incredible), Salmon Quiche (a little small but delectable), coffee (could be stronger), and my new favorite Eggetarian. Casual atmosphere, great, friendly service. Can't wait to go back !
(5)Debra C.
Long line justifies grabbing a menu ahead of time. Poached eggs were cooked perfectly and the whole wheat bagel was almost NY-like. The Barnard sandwich was loaded with fresh ingredients... but bread was cold so next time I'd ask for it warmed (yea, I'm that picky :).
(4)Naomi K.
Busy morning venue with cute patio tables for street watching. Located in the heart of downtown, a block away from the plaza, walking distance to the waterfront. Very efficient service, line moves quickly just grab a menu when you come in and know what you want by the time you get to the counter. They have such a variety to choose from it was hard to narrow it down. The croissant breakfast sandwich was good but their Yaourt Bio Au Miel (yogurt with honey), Belgium waffles, eggs Benedict, whoopie pies, quiches looks just as inciting. Just need to go back and try them out!
(4)Sam M.
Walking up to the cafe and seeing a line out the door and down the block was equally as exciting and disappointing. The line was about 10 minutes long and at the end we placed our order. We had the breakfast burrito which was good, but a little bit too wet and doughy. The egg croissant was good as well, but neither dish was exceptional. Good, not great. The highlight was the iced peanut butter mocha, which was absolutely awesome.
(4)Steph M.
We liked this place a lot because of the food, the service, the price and the fact that they are pet friendly! But be prepared to stand in line for a while if you go there in the morning but once you ordered they get the food to you very quickly. Amazingly, the staff was in a great mood and super friendly despite the cafe being so busy.
(4)Alexandra P.
I had the eggs Benedict - Savannah style, which comes with ham and on a croissant, it was good, satisfying. But the four stars comes in because the frozen mocha is the best I ever had and there wasn't a huge line or wait like most brunch places in the area.
(4)Dee C.
Goose Feathers...you would be the death of me if you were located in Chicago (due to morbid obesity from eating here all the time!). This place had great review so my friend and I checked it out for breakfast while we were in Savannah and we were not disappointed! You have to wait in line to order first before you get seated so: A. you already have some of your food (already made pastries) and B. the drinks and food come out faster C. this process runs really smoothly We ordered: 1. Belgian Waffle w/ syrup & butter (all the way which comes with: w/ fresh fruit & whipped cream and bananas & pecans)- This waffle was absolutely delicious. Nothing wrong about it. The vanilla sorbet was the perfect touch with the waffle and whipped cream. Amazing and a must try. 2. Bread Pudding- OMG!!!!!! this was the best masterpiece ever created. It was so perfect. The perfect touch of sweetness for the morning without being overly sweet. Everyone was staring at it with envy and asked us what it was (while they ordered their own!) 3. Cream cheese croissant- pretty much tasted like the same croissants like the ones at Starbucks. The croissant was soft and flaky and the cream cheese was rich: just the way I like it. 4. Veggie Panini (come with ancient red sweet pepper, organic spinach, mushrooms and feta with pesto and our special roasted garlic oil on ciabatta bread and a pickle on the side)-great panini sandwich. The bread was not like an ordinary panini bread, but I did not mind. Overall the red sweet pepper was great with the touch of everything else. Great for vegetarians. 5. Mini woopie- I did not try this so I can't say. My friend ate it and I was overly stuffed. 6. French vanilla latte: great but I wish I had whipped cream on it. I should have asked 7. Vanilla Mocha: my friend had it and she said it was great. She had it with whipped cream. Yes we are pigs and glad that we ordered all that we did. If I EVER go back to Savannah I would definitely go back to Goose Feathers. This place is above and beyond. The customer service is top notch and everyone is just so sweet.
(5)Terri G.
Enjoyed the Eggetarian with Ham ~ DELICIOUS!!! Just a few blocks off Bay St./City Market. In or outdoor seating with a wide variety of breakfast choices. Be open to the recommendation of the restaurant, they didn't steer us wrong.
(4)Melissa T.
This place has everything you can think of for breakfast. When I first came in my eyes were glued to the croissants. But then I got distracted by the omelets. What to do? I can't decide. So I got it all. The place has lots of tables, so don't worry about waiting to long for a table although the line to order may be a bit discouraging. Luckily, the service is quick and friendly. So the tables turnaround fairly quickly. Why-oh-why is there not a place like this in Montgomery?
(4)Pat M.
We were in Savannah only two nights, we ate breakfast here twice!!! Yes it's THAT GOOD! Besides the perfectly cooked breakfast, they are very friendly and accommodated my grandsons very serious gluten intolerance to the point of slicing his gluten free bagel with a special knife that was not used on regular bagels. There is something for everyone here...the grits were good, the Rosemary potatoes amazing, crispy bacon and poached eggs perfect! House made croissants were delicious, sweet and savory! There was a line out the door both times BUT do NOT leave, the line goes so fast...they have this cafe down to a science, they get you in, feed you awesome food and you get you out quickly so if you only have an hour for lunch no problem! We'll be back!
(5)Nicolas C.
Nice fresh products, good atmosphere and above all great positive staff from the counter to the cleaning guy
(4)Stephanie B.
Exactly what we were looking for after a cold morning walking around. The food provided great flavors with fresh ingredients. The sweet potato was one of the best parts of the day. Very friendly staff and a quick moving line.
(5)Lisa M.
GREAT place to eat breakfast! Eggs were cooked perfectly, coffee was good and service was excellent. We went on a Monday morning, and there wasn't anyone in line. The pastries looked amazing, but we all ordered egg & cheese crossaints. This was the best breakfast we had in Savannah!! Will definitely eat here again next time we visit Savannah!
(5)Jennie L.
such an adorable place! there was a bit of a line (out the door) but as promised, it did move very quickly! as advertised, the bread pudding is delicious! had a simple croissant breakfast sandwich, and it was very tasty! hubs had bagel and lox and he enjoyed it! he said not the best he's ever had, but it was good! exactly what we wanted in a charming little downtown savannah breakfast! very friendly staff, great prices!
(4)Christina G.
I love the Express Cafe. Loved it in 2009 when I managed to go visit for three meals in just three days (unusual for this "try a little of everything" foodie when on an out-of-town trip). And I was no less in love on my second visit to Savannah a year later. The menu is a delightful mix of breakfast foods (best quiches anywhere, customizable 'eggel bagels', Belgian waffles topped with fruit and frozen yogurt) and cafe noshes (freshly baked muffins and desserts, hot sammies like paninis, and deli-style stuff on a variety of breads and croissants). I've had a variety of stuff here and haven't been disappointed with anything. You order at the counter and then scrounge for a table, which can involve a bit of a wait during peak hours when they're super-busy. But even since my visit last year, I've seen improvements to efficiency -- like fancy new menus and new cash registers where you can verify what you've ordered. Actually, they have signs up that proudly announce the arrival of franchise opportunities. So I can only keep my fingers crossed that the Triangle will be lucky enough to see one!
(5)Michael Angelo R.
Get there early. Line out the door. Food fresh and amazing! Exceptional service! Don't miss out! Line moves quick.
(5)Jim E.
We arrived at Goose Feathers on Saturday morning at about 9:30am, the restaurant wasn't full but it was busy. We walked up and were overwhelmed with the menu and now looking back wish we were able to have tried more! The baked goods looked delicious! The owner was taking orders and she was very pleasant, as was the rest of the staff. The restaurant was very clean, had a great vibrance and feel.
(4)Jennifer O.
Yum! Don't be intimidated by the line - it was really long when we arrived but only took about 10 minutes to get through. Huge menu with lots of tasty choices, and really good food! Gluten-free bread is available, even though it's not listed on the menu. I loved my breakfast of quiche, grits (plain but good), and pecan pie (ain't no shame). The highlight was the pecan pie ... probably one of the best slices I've ever had.
(5)Lisa S.
Our favorite breakfast spot. Love this cute little spot with great go Evade goodies.
(4)Tracy W.
Cute cafe with good food. You place your order and pay at the counter. Then seat yourself and they bring you your meal. Very open airy clean seating area...really nice staff. Lots of fresh bakery items available - bagels, donuts, croissant variations, pies and cakes. Had the eggs benedict which is served Savannah style which means its served on a fresh buttery croissant....OMG! Yeah I can get wit this :)...the featured coffee was peppermint mocha...yum...and the waffle...yum again. This is my new fav spot. I can not wait to work my way thru their menu :D
(4)Laura S.
Fabulous friendly service and delicious food. A MUST stop in Savannah! Come early, the line goes around the block soon after 9 am!
(5)Katie R.
Goose feathers is really good! It's a unique spot in Savannah and isn't totally sit-down and you can get things to go. Everything I've had there has been good, and the cheese grits are top notch. Definitely recommend it for a quicker breakfast spot!
(4)Nicole W.
Stopped here for breakfast since it was near my hotel and I was going to need to check out soon...fortunately for me it turned out to be one of my best stops in Savannah! I ordered an eggle bagel which was very good. My husband ordered the spinach and feta quiche and it was amazing...I was jealous. The charming cafe atmosphere added to the experience. As we were getting ready to go, we realized that we had not yet had pecan pie while in Georgia and ordered a slice to go. We took it down to the River Walk and enjoyed it there. It was great - not too sweet - and the perfect way to end our trip to Savannah.
(5)Colleen B.
Fabulous food, service and prices. We loved our selection: quiche, sweet potatoes, bacon, fresh fruit, fresh lemonade, pecan pie and bread pudding.
(5)Rob B.
Ate here with the family the last time we were in town. EXCELLENT food. Price was reasonable and everything we had on the menu was tasty!
(5)Tammy F.
Good breakfast sandwiches, lunch sandwiches. Fresh, no frozen stuff. Good food, good friendly service and amazing coffee and pastries.
(5)Kim W.
We were starved and I had heard good things about this place. I had a cup of gazpacho and a smoked turkey reuben. I don't know if it was because I was starved, but my meal was delicious. The gazpacho was chunky and flavorful. Had a nice, subtle kick to it. The sandwich was made with a rosemary foccacia bread, cabbage and a buttery tasting sauce, instead of the usual reuben dressing. It was an interesting change. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. It is a good thing I don't live near this place. I would be eating there all the time and weigh about two bills.
(4)Ken G.
I thought this place was okay... I tried their Breakfast Croissant Sandwich, which was pretty good. Their Stuffed Croissant was also okay. Both croissant sandwiches were buttery and definitely fill you up in the morning. People seemed to really like the Bread Pudding, but I just found this to be alright. Overall, I wasn't terribly impressed with this spot. I think it's a decent spot to visit if you're in the area or if you want something quick and casual. The service was very nice and attentive, even though you do order at the counter.
(3)Eros A.
I got goosed eggs at Goose Feathers... Just an alright place that probably is better for a quick refreshment, coffee or tea; but not so great for the food. Food wise I was disappointed except for the croissant sandwich. Decor is a cheap replica of a french cafe; black and white tiles, french posters on the wall; and some really horrific chandeliers/lamps. On the other hand, the staff was friendly and welcoming. PS: if I come back, it would be for the sorbet Ice Cream; it was great!
(3)Deborah K.
Pretty good breakfast place in Savannah. Bread pudding was the best but get there early as there seems to always be a line out the door, but generally worth the wait.
(4)Elexa B.
Great service. There was always someone there to take a dirty plate or make sure that you had all of your food from the counter. Quiche Lorraine was good but I wished my croissant had been toasted but I guess it's my bad because I didn't ask? A little girl...owner's daughter? was working the counter and it was really cute she knew exactly what she was doing and filled up our iced teas before we left to stroll around. You could see a lot of local business men in suits ate here so you know it's good if the locals like it. Quick place to take it to go or sit outside at their little tables. We even parked RIGHT in front of it on the street and walked to two steps up to the front door.
(4)Bryan M.
Excellent lunch stop! I ordered The Oglethorpe: Vermont cheddar, tomatoes, fresh spinach, purple onions, red cabbage, cucumbers and sprouts on multigrain bread. I had mustard instead of mayo. Was a tasty sandwich and I enjoyed the atmosphere and staff.
(4)Kerry C.
We just stopped in between our carriage ride and shopping. It took me a long time to make up my mind because they had a number of great sandwich options. In the end, I got the Scarborough, a vegetarian sandwich with avocado and sprouts. It took them awhile to bring my order to me, but the busser noticed that I had been waiting and took it upon himself to check on my food, before I even asked. The sandwich insides was good and fresh, but the bread was way too crusty. My friend got a slice of pecan pie and was extremely underwhelmed. Overall, it was quick and a fine experience. I'd like to come back for brunch another time.

Decent. Not great, not bad. Had two egg dishes on croissants. The seasonal Peppermint mocha coffee was quite good.

I came here for one reason: BREAD PUDDING. When I read a review that said they used croissants and baguettes, I was hooked. I was not disappointed. It was moist, with an apricot jam inside. YUMMO. I also forced myself into brie with a baguette. The baguette was SO FRESH, though when they asked if I wanted it heated, I kind of assumed the brie would be more melted than it was. Oh well, it was still very nice. The line was a bit long, but service was friendly, and they seem to have it down to a science. There were probably 10 people ahead of us, and we only waited a bit over 5 minutes to order. Not bad I would say! Overall a good experience, PLENTY of room inside to sit and chat.

I know this place gets a lot of great reviews, which is why I went. I just like great food and happy to pay whatever for it if it's good. For $13 I came away with a variation on what Eggs Benedict usually is (it's served inside a croissant), a Latte, and an 8oz OJ, so not expensive. Unfortunately the coffee was terrible - incredibly weak, more like coffee flavored water, and to be honest tasted like filter coffee which I find revolting at the best of times. Eggs Benedict - mine unfortunately had a hunk of shell in it, and once that stuff gets in your teeth you just have to grin and crunch your way through it. Taste was ok but not amazing Eggs Benedict and the croissant is not the light, buttery texture it should have been. I hate giving negative reviews because this is someone's business and their livelihood after all, but I wouldn't rate this place nor go back.
(1)Jeff M.
Excellent breakfast of Eggs Benedict and spinach quiche. Even had a good selection on the menu for kids. The atmosphere was charming and although there was a line, service was quick.
(4)Nicole B.
This was the most disgusting breakfast I've had in awhile. I'm pretty sure the sausage, egg, and cheese croissant would've tasted the same if I had purchased it at a nasty gas station. I almost got sick while walking out of the restaurant. I understand that it's an express cafe, but the quality of the food should NOT be that poor. The latte was basically black gross coffee, no foam on the top. The grits were bland and a tad bit watery. I could see a worker eating something out of a box in the kitchen. If you want a delicious breakfast, steer clear from this place. Savannah has much better to offer.
(2)Randy B.
This is an excellent place to visit if your looking for breakfast. Just be prepared for a long wait.
(4)Sara E.
Absolutely wonderful! It was busy but there was plenty of seating and a very attentive staff. They really keep the line moving but they don't rush you out. The food was delicious and hot. I will be going back!!
(5)Ana P.
We went for breakfast our last day in Savannah and we were pleasantly impressed! Very cute and clean café, very nice staff and everything we ate was delicious!
(5)Randy B.
Fresh, fast and hot. Something for everyone - meaters and vegers. A little noisy and busy, and a bit too warm on the premises...owing to line out the front door. But worthwhile for the food and service. ** Breakfast served all day long**
(5)Tod K.
What a fantastic place, and so cheap! Goose Feather's has it all: a cute, French bistro vibe, warm and friendly (not to mention fast) service, and--most importantly--perfectly prepared, awesome food. And affordable: this place is cheaper than chain breakfast restaurants (one of the friendly staff members mentioned that she can feed her family of five cheaper here than at Waffle House!), but the food is anything but "chain." I had a perfectly poached egg with thick artisan wheat toast, a bowl of super creamy grits with tangy white cheddar cheese, and yummy roasted potatoes. Jason had a delicious eggs benedict, served on a fresh-baked croissant with amazing hollandaise and a pan-seared slice of ham. Everything was excellent. If you want breakfast in Savannah, there's really no other place to go!
(5)Stacey W.
Byfar the best damn waffle I've ever had. Ever. The prices are fair, and the location can't be beat! A short walk from downtown hotels, so you're able to stumble there after a long night of getting acquainted with Savannah. The line was long, but moved quickly. My favorite part was that the owner herself served us! (I know because I looked up the website.)
(4)Julie R.
If you are in the historic district and need a quick breakfast or lunch, try this place out. We walked over here for breakfast one morning. The cafe is really cute. Probably a mix of locals and tourists. We had a great quiche, bagel/cc and gazpacho. Prices were very cheap compared to eating at the hotel. Ample seating inside and a few tables outside. Lo'ts of staff moved the line alone quickly.
(4)Joel T.
This place was packed during lunch time, but our food came out very quickly. My Italian panini was tasty and they also serve breakfast options into the afternoon. This is an excellent eatery for a casual lunch when exploring Savannah.
(4)Bryan B.
I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! I've been there 3 times (would go there more if I lived closer) and each time I thought it was fantastic. The staff is polite and the food excellent. My only problem is that it gets very crowded and it can tough to find a table. 2 out of my 3 trips, we had to wait (after getting our food) to be able to sit down. But, hey, that's means they're popular, I guess. I don't know if it's possible for them to expand or add additional seating, but that's my only complaint and I didn't even take off a star for it...guess you can say I'm a fan!
(5)Ellie B.
This place was pretty disappointing. I ordered the eggs benedict and the croissant was good, but that Hollandaise, oof. Maybe from a packet? It really ruined the whole sandwich. My husband got a pumpkin spice latte and it came with a gigantic pile of whipped cream on top (he had no clue otherwise he would have nixed it). Once he got that off of it the coffee was really bland. The radio/music they were piping in made me want to stab my ear drums.
(2)Shy A.
Quick and friendly service. Just popped in for a quick sweet tea and snack before our trollley tour. Loved their onion bagel and their quiches looked super tasty. The staff was extremly friendly and efficient.
(3)Jessica A.
Amazing bakery with the best food. I have never been disappointed with anything there. I actually stop in Savannah during road trips to eat there. Just had the most delicious coconut cake of my life when I stopped in last week.
(5)Mary W.
This place is awesome for a quick and delicious lunch! Plus affordable. I had the roasted red pepper flatbread sandwich, and my husband had the eggs Benedict. Both were amazingly good! Pass panera bread and go here! You will be glad you did. Oh yeah and the service was perfect and friendly.
(5)Alicja S.
Great vibe, very nice people, it's a great place if you're in a hurry. Food is really great - we took 2 paninis.
(5)Trish D.
My husband, friend and I were in Savannah for the day and decided to have breakfast at Goose Feathers based on all the good Yelp reviews. We were not disappointed! We all shared a croissant, two quiches (spinach/feta and tomato/onion/basil/avocado-my favorite one), which were excellent. I love quiche and almost always order when it's on the menu, I can honestly say that this is the best restaurant quiche I've ever had. We also had the oatmeal with bananas and maple syrup, very delicious. I would have tried more on the menu but we were waiting for a lunch reservation in a couple of hours. I definitely recommend this place and hope to come back again soon!
(4)Liz P.
Really great breakfast menu and was packed, so others were also enjoying the food. I got the oatmeal with walnuts and apples and was delicious and the man got the egg and sausage croissant. Both of us really enjoyed it!!! I love my coffee so had to order a large Mocha, however it was TERRIBLE, didn't finish it (and I'm usually a two cup kind of person), so don't recommend the Mocha, but everything else was spot on!
(4)M Q.
What a great place to hop in for lunch between sightseeing. This place is friendly, lots of tables, clean bathroom, and good food + quick service. What more can you ask for..... and not a tourist trap with overpriced stuff. I got the roast beef w/ multi-grain bagette. Lots of beef w/ lettece + tomatoes inside a fresh bread that's crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with flaxseed and other grains. I'm a bread foodie and this is good. You order at the counter, pay, and pick a table. Then your food is brought to you (almost super quick).
(5)Sergio C.
This is a tasty affordable place to have breakfast or lunch. The place can be very packed. I had a egg, cheese and bacon croissant. It was good, but not out of this world. It's a nice place to go if you want an inexpensive bit in Savannah's historic district. I didn't have to wait in a crazy line, but if I did I would have been a little bewildered as what the wait was for. What I had was good but not out of this world.
(3)Ashley C.
My husband and myself hired Goose Feathers to cater our wedding. Such a great choice. The sandwiches were some of the best food our guests had the whole week. A definite stop for lunch while in Savannah.
(5)Victorious D.
I'm going to give them three stars. The customer service was wonderful and friendly. But my sandwich was sad and disappointing. It felt like it was without substance. I don't remember what it was called, but has sprouts avocado and spinach. Basically I felt like it was a tremendous amount of effort to eat...but I was going to starve because it took more energy to eat than I would get it from it.
(3)Miriam P.
Love love love this cafe! My fav breakfast place in Savannah!
(4)Courtney T.
Very busy spot! Just stopped in to really get a quick pick me up morning beverage and use the restroom. We decided to grab a bite and sit down. I got the home made hot chocolate-which wasn't very chocolaty. I was disappointed. Grabbed a bagel. that had a touch of cinnamon to it. The pastries looked great. But sorry Goose-Starbucks has you beat on the hot chocolate. I was trying to put cream cheese on my bagel when the busser just wanted to take my tray. Maybe I was sensitive because I was tired and road weary from travel...but jeez let me get my plate off the tray. Must be a good spot because it was busy. I could pass on this though. Sorry.
(2)Alyssa C.
Stopped here for a couple sandwiches and a slice of pie. Tried the Barnard club which had perfectly crispy bacon and fresh veggies. Got it on sourdough only complaint was it was a little heavy on mustard even though we ordered it light. Also had the Telfair on sourdough-no complaints there very refreshing. The pecan pie topped it off and I would recommend saving for a sweet their dessert display had several seasonal offerings. Wish the sandwiches came with a side but we still got filled up. Will definitely stop in next time we're in town.
(4)Leigh N.
OK, the first thing you should know is that this place makes their own croissants. That's right... buttery bread goodness from scratch. I highly recommend the Eggetarian and the bread pudding. Pretty good coffee too! Everything was reasonably priced. This is the place I'd want to come back to for breakfast in Savannah. This place is popular so there may be a line, but it moves fairly quickly as you order at the counter.
(5)tessa j.
we are locals and, having a group of nine wanting breakfast with palates all over the place (some carnivores, some only-coffees, some vegetarians) we figured this was a good place to hit for everyone. known as a major tourist place, we hadn't been there for years - back when it was simply known as "express cafe". got there at about 8am on a weekday, got our table no prob. everyone ordered different things (see the crowd, above), and everything was - uh, yes - meh. service, food, surroundings. the espresso drinks were, simply put, terrible. nothing is hand-pulled here - tastes like a mc'd's where they push a button and something resembling espresso pours out. my muffin was overly sweet. husband ordered a side of 'breakfast potatoes' and got three boiled red potatoes on a plate. bizarre. yes, as said before, it's like panera's. like the generic, big menu but everything average at best, marginalized food feel at panera's? you'll like this. by the time we left, about 9:30, the line was out the door. never - truly, it's not worth a second visit, much less a wait.
(2)Brian C.
Crowded, line out front; however, the line moved quickly - very efficient place. Ordered Organic yogurt with honey and egg and spinach croissant - the spinach was not fresh spinach, but the frozen kind with onions. Not a fan of this type of spinach, but it was still pretty yummy. Croissant was really tasty.
(3)David M.
Nice little place for lunch. The Bernard Street Club on sourdough was quite tasty. And the Whoopie Pies are excellent!
(4)Pdter M.
Don't know why I am writing this. Goose Feathers is the place to go. Food is excellent, the line is out the door and around the block. A shining star on the Savannah culinary landscape. If in Savannah or close by you must stop and enjoy.
(5)Lisa W.
We were out looking for a healthy option for breakfast in spite of all the southern cuisine available in Savannah. This spot offered a healthy tasty choice. I had the Turkish poached eggs with garlic yogurt sauce and my companion had scrambled egg yolks with veggies. Great food, good service, highly recommended!
(5)Kevin C.
This restaurant was awesome! Very close to hotel row on Bay St. Friendly order takers, interacted with my baby, seemed genuinely excited to serve. Food was excellent, had the eggel bagel sandwich and cheese grits. Quick service, clean restaurant, hard to beat!
(5)Lane D.
Awesome breakfast food served all day. Got the cheese grits. They use sharp white cheddar - delicious.
(5)rebecca l.
Stopped here for a quick bite upon our arrival in Savannah. Very friendly, nice iced tea. I had the special (a turkey sandwich with craisins, cheese & apple slices on a baguette). Hubby had the "Club Sandwich" which was also served on a baguette. The most stand out thing about the food here was how fresh the bread was and how friendly the staff was. We would recommend Goosefeathers to anyone looking to grab a quick bite to eat. We would go back!
(4)rolanda n.
Quite crowded, with a 25-minute wait, line snaking out the door and onto the street. But with few other options, we waited. It was good food, but man, there has to be a more efficient way of turning the workflow over so people aren't wilting in line. So, if you are in a hurry or need a quick bite, this is probably not your place. If you have time to kill, go for it. The bagel egg/cheese sandwich was really tasty, and prices are normal for this kind of a place ($7-ish for bagel/egg sandwich and water).
(3)Jodie K.
Absolutely amazing waffle adulterated by corn syrup! Not sure why it comes up as an organic restaurant on Yelp if you can't get real syrup. The scrambled eggs remind me of hotel buffet eggs, I guess that's alright if you're into that sort of thing. Otherwise great place I have to remember is for the croissants.
(3)David W.
Why are the croissants, bagels and coffee all so pale?
(2)Krystin S.
Food was yummy! Service was quick! The bust boys were on it!!! Great place to eat! I'd recommend too everyone!!!
(5)gail b.
This is an AMAZING little cafe. Don't be scared off by the long line of people waiting to get it -- it moves quickly. The food is amazing and fresh. Don't be surprised to find the owner at the cash register greeting you with her hospitable smile. I am a huge foodie and must say all of their food is amazing but my favorite is the scrambled egg and cheese on a freshly baked croissant with a bowl of fresh fruit. Oh and I ask for them to put some deli turkey on there as well and it's never a problem. GREAT spot
(5)Nicole R.
A breakfast must in Savannah. Lines moves fast. Homemade croissants melt in your mouth. Quiche Lorraine was delicious. Butter rum mocha coffee was perfect. Great location next to the market place and close to everything.
(5)Eugene P.
We didn't expect much from this little cafe but noticed that there was a good line out the door. We decided to go since it was moving fairly fast. We walked in and first thing we saw walk by was the bread pudding! It was mouth watering to see such a beautiful mound of dessert. We got the quiche with tomato, onion, and basil and the blueberry croissant. The croissant was flakey and buttery, just the way I like it. My wife loved the quiche, but since I don't like it, I took her word for it. The portions were average but the bread pudding definitely filled any empty space in our stomach.
(4)Erich F.
The wife loves breakfast so we made the trek from the Mansion on Forsyth. We were wondering around when we remembered the line out the door the day before. We walked up and straight on in...no line! I got a breakfast bagel sandwich with the rosemary potatoes. They were both really good and the sandwich was so good. I couldn't eat all the bagel, but ate the egg and sausage out of it. The bagel was fresh and soft, just too much bread for me. Wife got banana nut waffle and said it was delicious. We were both happy and will return again.
(4)Carly W.
A good place to go for a quick lunch on a busy day. I've never had to wait in a terribly long line, but then again I tend to eat lunch later in the afternoon. They have plenty of healthy options and the food comes out pretty quickly and is delivered to your table. I like the vegetarian options and the multigrain breads. It's difficult to be too healthy when I stop in there...as soon as I walk in all of the desserts stare at me while I wait in line and continue to taunt me throughout my tasty meal. Sometimes, I just gotta give in to some bread pudding or a cookie. I can't say I've ever regretted that choice. They do seem a little uptight about getting everyone to follow their pointless rules, but I can't say I had a problem with them insisting I leave my tray of trash on the table when I attempted to clean it up myself the first time I stopped in.
(3)Byrd B.
I had read up on breakfast and lunch in Savannah and spotted Goose Feathers right off. It did not disappoint. We had lunch. The chicken bacon mushroom melt with havarti was delicious. My spouse had the salmon quiche, which she loved. Corn chowder was creamy and hearty. Even the pasta salad was light and allowed the pasta taste to come through. I was not so impressed with the bread pudding, which came highly recommended. Too much nutmeg for my taste but the cup of whipped cream that accompanied it more than made up for it! The chocolate bear claw(ette- only $1.25) was superb. It is croissant flaky dough with a sliver of chocolate in the center. The ganache on top was truly icing on the cake. I loved it. Oh, the counter service was a big plus for us-- fast, VERY friendly, Southern hospitality, no tip.
(5)Roy R.
Nice little cafe. Unique selection of foods
(4)Kevin P.
I really want to rate this place as a 5 star place, but didn't just because it was a self serve place. To start off, the place was simple, nothing flashy, and seemed like a run of the mill stop and go. BUT I have to say that my gf and I thoroughly enjoyed the food. We went there Saturday morning and had to return Sunday morning for another taste before we left. What to get: Bread pudding- a must get peanut butter mocha- a must get croissant (I like mine simple, which just a slice of cheese... you can get the sandwich, but those are larger- for 2 people) Lastly the people working were great. It was a pleasure to eat there and I look forward to eating there again.
(4)Andrea L.
Southern hospitality at its best. Food was amazing as well. Eggs Benedict on croissant two thumbs up!
(5)Amanda Z.
If I was only judging the bread pudding, I'd give it 5 stars easy. Otherwise, the food is pretty average morning fare, all good but nothing that really blows your socks off. That said, I will talk about the bread pudding a little more. We first came here on the Foody Tour and came back the next day for another dose of this fattening little concoction. It is made from croissant and french bread, covered in an apricot glaze, and then topped with tons of whipped cream. This is not bread pudding for the faint of heart, this is full fat and full delicious. A single bowl is big enough for two to split, as we chose to do, and was incredibly filling. I have to say, completely worth it and probably some of the best I have ever had. Otherwise, the menu is filled with classics like bagel sandwiches, eggs, baked goods, lox, etc. It's not really a hearty southern breakfast, but it's good and maybe a little expensive, but frankly I was on vacation and wasn't really paying all that much attention. Sorry.
(4)Steve T.
We were in Savannah for 4 days and we ate breakfast here twice. The egg and bacon on croissant was the bomb! The line to order was out the door but the line moves fast. The staff were super nice. I had red potatoes to go with my sandwich and I've had better, but they were still ok. I would recommend a visit if you're in Savannah.
(4)Loni N.
Went here for lunch and the lunch food was actually very good. The disappointment was with the cupcakes. YUCK! The were like muffins with icing. Super dense not moist at all.
(3)James G.
Scrambled eggs, sausage, with melted cheddar in a croissant...awesome! Walking distance to numerous hotels, good, fast service with decent prices.
(4)S R.
I was taken here by a local and found it to be a cute place with pretty good breakfast, I ordered the belgian waffle with fruit and bacon. I also had a croissant donut which was sinful. The others had the same and one had scrambled eggs. We all did coffee or juice. I will say it seemed a little pricey, the bill for 3 of us was $51. There was a line formed when we got there but it moved quickly.
(3)Sheri E.
This place was AMAZING. I was in Savannah with a group of girls for my friend's bachelorette weekend. We were staying at the AVIA and wanted a cute place for breakfast and stumbled upon this cafe. I should be honest and say that the 3 mornings we were there for breakfast, we ate here all three mornings. We even had a lunch here on the afternoon we were leaving. At first it could've been out of laziness to find another place to eat, but really, why would you go anywhere else when this was so convenient and delicious? Let me just tell you, you HAVE to try the quiche...they have a few...try them all! Oh, and the oatmeal! For those of you who like it, you definitely need to try it...I had mine with bananas and maple syrup...yum yum! I also had The Telfair Sandwich (Havarti cheese, cucumbers, sprouts, tomatoes, and avocado) - even the meatitarian would like it. When I saw they were offering franchising opportunities I was super excited...now, if only I can convince someone to open one in North Carolina...
(5)David B.
Went to Goose Feathers Cafe for breakfast on a visit to a Savannah after seeing it on a Yelp. Arrived around 9:00 am on a Tuesday. We thought it was a little overpriced for food you had to wait in line to order, which at times was all the way out the door. We ordered the holiday special drink, a peppermint mocha, and it was super expensive but good. Food wise, we ordered a bread pudding, sticky bun, and two of the Eggs Benedict-Savannah style. The desserts were delicious! The eggs benedicts were ok....loved them on a croissant, but we felt that the ham layered on top of the croissant was too close to processed lunch meat...and for being so expensive, we were a little disappointed. Don't forget to grab your silverware while in line, because trying to get back to that area is difficult with all the people waiting in line.
(4)Kim T.
Was in Savannah for a wedding this weekend and stopped here for lunch. I had the special which was a turkey and monterey sandwich with apples and craisons. Wasn't that great. They should have used granny smith apples for more taste and/or a flavored mayo. Sandwich very bland. My sister in law had the chicken sandwich and there was very little chicken on the sandwich. Not as impressed as the other reviewers.
(2)Ryan C.
Came in one morning for breakfast while visiting savannah a few weeks ago. Although there was a line out the door, the service was fast and the food was very good. Don't let the line fool you.
(4)Kristan H.
My boyfriend and I stopped in for a light lunch and the food was delicious. The owner (featured in one the Yelp photos) was very friendly, working the cash register and bringing us our food. Though the options weren't crazy original (normal sandwiches and soups), the ingredients were fresh and that makes a big difference. We were not disappointed.
(4)Steven F.
Nice little place to eat lunch.
(4)Brontë B.
Fantastic! The employees were excellent and really nice/helpful. Some of the best service ever, even though it was really busy. The only problem I found was the item (a cream croissant) I ordered wasn't what I had anticipated. It was good, just not what I thought I ordered.
(5)Jennifer L.
We ate here almost everyday of out trip for brunch. Nice, inexpensive start to the day. Many food choices and they are all great. I wish they were open later becuase they are so affordable and teh food was quality and fresh.
(5)Jennifer M.
Five foodies, ages ranging 9-42 give this FIVE STARS. Eggs, croissants, ham, bacon, spinach, hot chocolate, Belgium waffles with cream- all superb!!
(5)Rob K.
Oh yea, I can see these guys being very busy pretty consistently. We found the Goose Feathers after making our obligatory reservation at the Lady & Sons. Things were busy, but we moved pretty quickly to place our order and find a seat. I got the impression that they have just enough seating most of the time, if things were any busier we may have stood around and waited. My sausage egg & cheese on a bagel included a ton of egg cheese goodness. My only negative was that the sausage was those mini (but thick) Jimmy Dean style patties. Personally, I'm not a fan of them....so I knocked it down to just an egg & cheese. My partner had the oatmeal and got a huge bowl for his money. It's a nice little place, we'd be back.
(4)Chelsey K.
A solid amazing 4.5 stars! My partner had the Ogelthorpe and I had the Catawba. We couldn't resist a slice of homemade quiche and a mug of coffee as well. Fresh ingredients made for great sandwiches and the service was good. Entire staff was courteous and welcoming. Glad we got there before the morning rush!
(4)Emily M.
I continue to go back to this spot on my trips to Savannah. There are some complaints of price, but if you order the best of the menu the cost is minimal. My husband and I went there for breakfast and ordered 2 coffee's, the breakfast croissant, a side, bagel with cream cheese and jam and the price was just over $10. The decoration and expensiveness of the seating is minimal as this is an EXPRESS bakery intended to feed you quickly and get you on your way. You order, they deliver to your table and then busboys retrieve your used dishes. We are always happy to return and enjoy the large breakfast sandwiches on either croissant or bagel. This last time the owner bussed our table and told us how he came across the place. Such an enjoyable experience we will be continued patrons. Thanks1
(4)Kat O.
Came for breakfast with two friends while we were in Savannah for a conference. So glad we decided on Goose Feathers vs. another run-of-the-mill breakfast shop. Coffee was delicious, and the bottomless refills were much appreciated. :) I had the granola and milk with fruit and was not disappointed. Delicious! I could have eaten about 10 other things on the menu; it all looked delicious. The staff was super-friendly and upbeat on a Thursday morning. I actually think we were served by the woman who owns the place. She was SO nice, and she gave us a few suggestions of places to visit while we bummed around the cute little downtown area. It's that kind of customer service that sets Goose Feathers above the rest. Cute little location with tons of natural light. Helpful men coming around to bus tables and clean the already very clean space. I wish I had enough room to try one of their whoopie pies! Thanks for the positive experience of Savannah on my first morning there. It definitely set the tone for a great weekend. :)
(4)K. W.
Went with my family and we enjoyed brunch here! I split the waffles and ham& cheese croissant with my sister and we loved both! My husband got a sandwich I don't remember what kind but he liked it and he raved about the dark chocolate raspberry coffee! Everything was super yummy, I'd definitely go again!
(5)C P.
Wide variety of pastries and most of them are pretty tasty, but when they're not fresh you can definitely tell. The staff **behind the counter** give off a weird vibe. It seems as if they are not being genuinely friendly and they're forcing their smiles.
(3)Ashley P.
I ate the quiche with tomato, onion and avocado. It was prepared well. This place lives up to it's name, go here to grab a quick breakfast bite.
(4)Andrew C.
Solid cafe style breakfast. I had the croissant bacon egg and cheese sandwich with one of their coffee specials. Coffee is great, the croissandwich was amazing and the coffee cup we bought makes for a pretty good souvenir to take home from savannah.
(4)Jesse O.
Aside from being busy on a Sunday morning, my girlfriend and I decided to be patient and stick it out. We were glad we did. I tried the Eggs Benedict (whoohoo!) and my girlfriend went with an Everything begal with creamcheese and sprouts. Both were fantastic. You didn't get much latte in a mug but it was pretty tasty.
(5)Sandy G.
When you order at a counter, you expect that the service will be lacking, however, Goose Feathers has EXCELLENT service and a low price menu!! I have been twice and the food is great! The service is exceptional and the atmosphere is pleasing.
(5)andrea r.
I love this place. I haven't had there breakfast items. Mainly go for lunch. Quiche is great. My fav. sandw. is the telfair-- cucumbers, havariti cheese, sprouts, & herb mayo. All their soups are super & homemade --my favorite is there cream of mushroom -- to die for. My daughter loves the roast beef sandw--which is also very good.
(4)Meagan H.
Service was awesome. Food was okay, but for the same price we've had much better. I got the eggtarian & my husband got the Bernard club & we got a fruit cup and scrambled eggs for our little guy. The eggs were almost slimy and our little guy wouldn't eat them. The fruit was fresh though & our sandwiches were good just nothing special as we had expected from other reviews. They did have a big selection.
(4)Rachel M.
On the advice of Yelp, I stopped here one morning while my new husband slept in. Y'all didn't disappoint - this is a charming and well-run little place. It's a little hard to find, but that's probably just me. Inside, there's just enough room for it to be bustling without being packed. There was a line, but it moved swiftly, and the folks behind the counter were very polite. I had a couple of chocolate pastries and some coffee, and it was all excellent. I wish I'd woken Jason up and brought him over, too!
(4)Sarah K.
Great place close to our hotel. We actually ate here two consecutive mornings. For people who need their morning espresso, this is the place to go. Also had amazing quiche and waffles. Very good service.
(4)Doug M.
Barnard Club Sandwich is to die for, Eggs Benedict are fantastic served between a nice a fluffy croissant.
(4)Kapil J.
Great service. Line moves fast. Good place for breakfast. Enjoyed their black bean burrito and bread pudding.
(4)Kate H.
We had lunch here during our visit to Savannah, and the deli sandwiches were average, but plentiful. I had the cup of sweet potato soup -- very thick and not really hot, but tasty. My husband had the fruit cup -- again, average. The real star here, though, is the bread pudding. That's probably the reason I'm giving it four stars! This is truly excellent and enough to share -- warmed with whipped cream is the way to go. It's a little pricey ($3.99, I think), but worth it, as it beat the pants off other bread puddings we had on our trip. Would return, but maybe just for the bread pudding! :)

Great location by Ellis Square. Their chicken ginger sandwich is out of this world. Portions are a little small, so get the full sandwich serving (as opposed to half size). Their fresh gazpacho was delicious.
(4)David H.
This cute and lively place offered a very nice alternative to free hotel buffets. The eggs benedict were tasty & just what I was craving, while my wife had the quiche of the day. A shared bowl of fresh fruit and a couple of lattes made this a very good breakfast experience we would happily repeat.

Feeling sick from the heavy, greasy, fried fare in Savannah, we were happy to find a lunch spot with a lighter cafe menu. The selection is a standard cafe menu, including basic salads, sandwiches, panini, flatbread sandwiches, croissants, desserts, and assorted coffee and tea. Nothing new or innovative, but all fresh and tasty. The woman taking the orders was very pleasant and asked if we'd like to add, swap, or omit anything from our order. Options are great. The food was fresh and good, but the iced coffee was weak and terrible, despite the additional espresso shot they suggested. Shocking for a cafe.
(4)Herman W.
Good waffle! Hot chocolate is over the top- same for chocolate waffle. Eggs, bacon, & fruit were great for those needing gluten free.
(3)Bryce R.
This review is from a tourist's point of view Went to Savannah on a trip, best lunch I had was here, the wait staff was friendly (except one waiter was a little creepy), the atmosphere was upbeat. The food is the most important thing though, the Salmon BLT was absolutely amazing. The Club was great, and the Spinach Chicken salad with Raspberry dressing was fantastic, would highly recommend this place.
(5)Tracy W.
Friendly employees, great atmosphere, great food! We will be going back before we leave! We had sandwiches today, chicken salad and Barnard St Club. Both were great. The regular coffee was delicious!
(5)Richard C.
Had breakfast here every morning while in Savannah. Would have given it five stars if the coffee had been more robust. Did enjoy the Birds Nest though.
(4)Christopher T.
This place is just average and for what you get, I think a bit on the expensive side. What was had: Belgian Waffle with all the trimmings Two Sweet Teas Slice of Triple Chocolate Cake Bread Pudding Egg Croissant with Sausage Sweet & Spicy Chicken Sandwich Wrap Total was 31$ What was good: Bread Pudding & Croissant Sandwich The rest, mediocre to unacceptable. Belgian waffle was not unique and could have been from anywhere. Fruit on top was fresh but think it just lacked something unique to this particular cafe. Had to ask for syrup and butter, shouldn't that automatically come with? Chocolate Cake was awful. It was stale and had no distinct flavor to call it triple chocolate. The chocolate icing broke away from the cake from the first bite. It was not fresh and the flavors were not good at all. The Chicken wrap was just as bad. The chicken tasted like something that was pre-seasoned and frozen at one time. Ever bought Purdue's sliced chicken breasts from the grocery before? I swear that this is what they were using. A simple fix could be just to buy an actual chicken breast from the market, that is fresh, and season it your own way. There was no flavor to the chicken and it was tough. Looking at it looked like it was pumped full of something from Food Inc, the movie. The egg croissant sandwich was really nice but not worth all the rave I see this place getting. Overall, I think this is just a tourist trap that is listed in the guidebooks. I would not recommend anyone coming here.
(2)Macey M.
Good Food! Fast service! Friendly staff who super organized! My husband and I love the eggs benedict with pesto on a croissant. Its amazing!
(5)Gary C.
My Favorite spot in Savannah for a Great, Quick, Breakfast that's home cooked! Loaded with Pastries and Sweets, Goose Feathers can be Crowded or empty depending on the day. Even if it's crowded, service is quick and you can always find a seat. An idea place to have breakfast when getting ready to visit Paula Deens "Lady and Sons" Restaurant.
(4)Iris R.
Me encanta!!!!!! delicioso, excelente servicio. Hope they will be one here in Orlando. The best place to breakfast in Savannah, Ga
(5)Angel I.
Dined here mid-Sunday morning and waited in quite a long line to place our order. There was a line the whole time we were there-- it was worth it though! My husband and I are fans of eggs benedict and each ordered a different version of it and loved them both. We also took a whoopie pie to go and really enjoyed that, too. They have good variety for breakfast and we wouldn't mind going back.
(4)Dana M.
Really loved this spot for breakfast. I had an amazing croissant with egg, cheese, and turkey sausage. I loved that turkey sausage was an option. It was a very generous sandwich. The croissants were fresh and perfect. I also had the rosemary potatoes - lightly seasoned - comes with sour cream and scallions on the side. The mocha coffee I had was delicious - topped with whipped cream and cocoa powder - beats any coffee I've had from Starbucks. The line was out the door but moved quickly, service was friendly and efficient.
(5)Meri S.
What a great place to eat breakfast and lunch! Lots of options for either keeping it healthy or splurging. If there was a Goose Feathers in NYC, I'd be a regular.
(4)A Z.
This place is so cute and it's great breakfast food and atmosphere. The owner takes pride in his business, and everytime we go, we see him bussing tables and making conversation just like the rest of the employees. I love the heart he takes in his business. We've pretty much made it an obligation to go whenever we find ourselves passing through Savannah: The Candy Kitchen, visit River Street, and Goose Feathers. No doubt.
(5)Chantal G.
I wasn't so sure about this place as I went in to a long line. I was beginning to rethink my options but I saw that the line actually moved at a fairly rapid pace. I saw something on the menu that I really wanted to try, it looked like an eggs benedict croissant with spinach but it turned out to be the Eggetarian. What looked like ham on the menu was actually tomato and what looked like spinach was the pesto. I may not be a vegetarian but I really had to try it just the same. I am glad I did. It was a great blend of flavors and paired well with their fruit salad cup. I had a delicious peanut butter cup latte which had the perfect amount of everything (coffee, sweetness, flavor). The cafe was a bit noisy so if you're looking for a quiet place to read or relax, this is not that place but if you like a boisterous morning environment and delicious food to start your day, this is the perfect spot!
(5)Judith G.
Being from ny, I am not the authority of southern food but the shrimp and grits were amazing! I also enjoyed a piece of pecan pie... It was lovely but they heated it up in a microwave. Could have thrown it in an oven for a couple of minutes, I wouldn't have minded the wait. Either way, great breakfast in downtown.
(4)Lisa G.
Exactly what I was looking for - really cute cafe that sells brunch all day. I had the waffle which was really good (made with butter) bacon was good and I had the maple coffee. Even better, everyone was super friendly and helpful. Sunny spot on a rainy day :) ... But they have a large awning if you want to sit outside anyway :)
(5)Dominick T.
This is a great place to go when in Savannah for breakfast. Food comes quick, and is excellent. Its just right for the tourist who gets up early.
(5)Karen T.
This is a very popular place for breakfast. I was heading to the airport so just stopped by to pick something up and there was a long line out the door. Definitely call ahead if you want to get take-out! I got the tomato-avocado quiche and bread pudding. The quiche was very good. The fresh tomato and avocado made the quiche taste lighter and not feel as dense or heavy. The bread pudding was good but nothing that really makes it stand out.
(3)Jess P.
First of all, I got the black bean burrito and it was phenomenal. The price was fairly reasonable, but I probably wouldn't have stopped in if I wasn't on vacation. Perhaps my biggest complaint is no free refills of lemonade. While I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, my two friends who both got sandwiches were not so impressed. As we sat behind the window with various TripAdvisor and Yelp award stickers plastered on, they couldn't help but marvel how they got up there.
(3)Prince A.
I liked the feel of this spot and being in business for many years, they were running their operation like clockwork. Being an express cafe, the food is pretty top notch and with a bottomless coffee mug, my breakfast was stimulating! Love this spot, everything looks great, smells great and tastes superb. Oh, and the bread pudding?! Game over! I am coming back here again and its gonna be bread pudding for breakfast
(4)Mike W.
I can't say I've ever been as impressed with Goose Feathers as many reviewers here apparently are: honestly, I've found it decent, at best good, but not at all exceptional nor innovative in a city that has a wealth of lunch and/or breakfast options. The sandwiches and other dishes are pretty standard--reubens, bagels, foccacia bread sandwiches and the like and they're ok but, once again, rather plain and standard. I suppose if that's what you seek, you'll be pleased. Certainly they must be doing something right given the rave reviews and the fact they've been in business at least a decade or better. Their location is pretty ideal, too. For lunch though, I have to feel there are better options such as Zunzi's.
(3)Erleen G.
I've had withdraws over this mug. So much so that I finally decided to take the drive back to Savannah and now I finally have it.... What? You think I'm kidding? Ok, yes! But not entirely... I may not have driven to Savannah for it, but I didn't have to. Shortly after writing my review I was apologized to by the owners personally. Then some time later (today to be exact). I received a nice chunky package labeled fragile (how much do we love getting things in the mail that are NOT bills?). My package came from Goose Feather, my package was clearly carefully packaged and stuffed, my package included not one, not two, not three, but FOUR Goose Feathers mugs. EEEEK! I guess some might think Goose Feathers bought my 5th star. But truth be told they stole it...my heart that is. And with this gesture they far exceeded earning it. Thank you Beth and Mike. :) You guys are the sweetest! Best, A Happy Customer
(5)Claudia G.
Here with some friends for the weekend. This place is amazing! Food is excellent and the service is top notch! Don't be discouraged by the line. It moves wry quickly and the food is worth it. The staff was very kind and pleasant :)
(5)Janene H.
Goosefeathers is a great place to take a load off and people watch. We grabbed some coffees and whoopie pies and parked ourselves on an outdoor table. Being so close to Congress it makes a great people watching spot. The employees we had contact with weren't very friendly. The hazelnut coffee was yummy (with free refills) but the whoopie pies were a disappointment. We tried both the chocolate and strawberry. I must say I make better ones myself! I'm not sure if this is any indication of the rest of their food...
(3)Vivien P.
Cute cafe in the historic district of Savannah. The food was not superb but the great atmosphere makes up for it. Eggs Benedict: Best thing we ordered. The egg was poached perfectly. Belgian Waffle: Eh....was not as crispy and dense as I hoped. Bread Pudding: Had good texture but was lacking in flavor. The girl at the cashier said they would warmed it up for me but I thought it came out not warmed enough Yogurt: they could have dressed the yogurt up a little bit...or at lest give me a full serving. Service: Superb service. We were greeted with a menu as soon as we stepped in the door. Very friendly service.
(3)Taylor K.
We ordered a birthday cake from here (chocolate icing vanilla cake) and had them decorate it. It looked beautiful and tasted delicious!
(5)David P.
Order at the counter and serve by the whole staff. I ordered the "Bird's Nest" and really enjoyed it, the salsa really brought the whole dish together. The only negative is more of a pet peeve for me, they serve the coffee in a Styrofoam cup. I personally hate that. We may have to go back to try some of the pastery's.
(4)Ralph A.
I had the eggs Benedict, coffee, and grits and thought they were all pretty good. I thought it was expensive considering the location. I paid $11 dollars for the three things above. Seems like NYC prices. I do appreciate having coffee in a real mug, so kudos for that.
(3)Alison M.
Do not order the shrimp and grits here, they are not authentic. I'm no southern food connoisseur, but I do know that what we got there was not shrimp and grits. The advertised $6.50 shrimp and grits here is basically a bowl of plain grits with lukewarm, flavorless shrimp thrown on top and covered in a sauce that tastes like a mix of beef broth and Chesapeake bay seasoning. The fiance thought the sauce was just white gravy. It was bad. Two bites and we were done. This review is a warning to all those folks new to southern food so that they don't get duped. The real dish is amazing and sadly, Goose Feathers doesn't have it.
(2)Laurie E.
Made a bee-line for this place after our TASTE of SAVANNAH Tour Guide, SAM told us how great it was. Goose feathers did not disappoint! We ordered the Bird's Nest with a side of crispy bacon. Heaven! Cheesy grits with 2 poached eggs, homemade salsa, cilantro and Vermont white cheddar were to LIVE for! So good! Highly recommended!
(5)Will A.
The Eggs Benedict Savannah Style was great and very reasonably priced! I will definitely go back the next time I'm in Savannah!
(5)David C.
While in town for a friend's wedding we found ourselves in Savannah's historic district hunting for breakfast on a beautiful Saturday morning. We turned to Yelp and headed to the best-rated breakfast in town, Goose Feathers. It's a counter-service restaurant that then brings your food out when it's ready. I'm not typically a fan of this concept, but for Goose Feathers, it works. They are highly efficient at moving this line. It was probably 15 people deep when we arrived, and I had ordered, paid and was drinking my coffee in under 10 minutes. Our food arrived in about 10 more minutes (amazing for how busy it was) and we proceeded to munch. We sat outdoors (highly recommended) and enjoyed the people watching along with our breakfast. I had the "Eggetarian" which was two poached eggs, cheddar, pesto, tomatoes on a fresh croissant. Delicious, creamy, a little light on seasoning (personal preference), but full of flavor. My wife had their ham and cheese filled croissant. The dough was flaky, buttery and obviously fresh puff pastry, filled with city ham and melty cheese. Excellent balance. We also split a lemon poppyseed muffin that was more like a popover and was amazing. The only gripes (if any) was the coffee was utterly forgettable, tasted like diner coffee, bland, boring. They do have a multitude of specialty coffee drinks, but they all read as very sweet. (i.e. Pecan Pie Latte, etc.) Also, the place is very busy, but manageable. All in all, we would definitely return to Goose Feathers on our next trip to Savannah, but would probably skip the coffee.
(4)Lauren L.
Goose feathers is the BEST! Please come to Atlanta! All of the food was OUTSTANDING, delicious, hot and fresh. The waitstaff was very attentive even though it is not a sit down restaurant. Prices were incredibly reasonable and service moved very quickly. You simply must go if you visit Savannah!
(5)Sebastian O.
Staff was very friendly and food was great! I got a ginger chicken sandwich and my boyfriend got the bread pudding with some chocolate cherry coffee. Both of us really enjoyed our brunch.
(5)Cara L.
This was so much fun. My husband and I ordered the egg, sausage and cheese croissant and the shrimp and grits. Great brunch sharing plates!
(4)Gary R.
Express cafe it is. They are geared to get you in and fed very efficiently. AND the food is really great! The tuna nicoise is tasty on their baguettes, and the bacon egg croissant is A+.
(5)Amy H.
Goose Feathers was exactly what I was looking for - a fast breakfast that wasn't fast food. My favorite item was the Eggitarian, two poached eggs with pesto, tomato, cheddar, and hollandaise on a croissant. It was oh-so delicious and kept me full until dinner time. Also, their pumpkin spice latte is the best that I've ever had. Waaaay better than Starbucks.
(4)Jason W.
Breakfast panini was awesome. Kinda busy for a Monday morning. I guess that is how you can tell somewhere is popular. I will definitely be back the next time I am in the area.
(5)Charli B.
The line was super long, and there's a good reason for it; the food is worth the wait! The line moved pretty quickly and you aren't allowed to grab a table until you place your order. I ordered the stuffed croissant with turkey and swiss, husband ordered Eggatarian on a sesame bagel, and my son ordered a half portion Belgian waffle. Everything was so delicious that we didn't leave a crumb on our plate. I was secretly hoping my son wouldn't finish his waffle so I could eat the rest, but he devoured it! The service was superb! They were very friendly and attentive. A must visit spot in Savannah!
(4)Claudia Q.
A must stop for breakfast. The croissants are delicious and moderately priced. Lots of choices feta and spinach, ham and cheese and chocolate are all standouts. My kids loved the waffles topped with soft serve yogurt and a choice of syrup or honey. Plus it's quick to get in and out. Love it!!
(5)E T.
Really delicious food prepared quickly. I would have given Goosefeathers cafe four stars, however, management reminded me of the soup nazi.
(3)Yane Y.
Really, 3.5 stars. Like others stated, this place is quaint. I liked the ambiance. They had lines the whole time I was there. We went this morning on a Thursday morning at 8:45 am. The line was to the door when we got there an stayed that way until we left at 9:45. We were there a bit longer than most of their customers... So I ordered their scrambled eggs with melted cheddar on croissant with ham for $5.55. Really, it was 4.55 plus a $1 for the meat (ham, sausage, or spinach... Possibly something else). They were pretty skimpy on the ham. The sandwich was huge because of the eggs but the ham was thinly sliced deli meat and only a couple pieces... Not evenly spread out. i Was a little disappointed that there was not enough ham. Bread pudding - the bread pudding was quite good. They had a sign that said you should try their famous bread pudding. It was delicious. $3.99 for a bowl. Well worth it. Warm and tasted fresh. Belgian waffle - I didn't order this but my mom and aunt loved it. The one bite I had, was crispy and good. A little on the expensive side for a waffle but ... What do you do? I would go back again. I guess it's not every day you're out at a spot like this... At least me from burby Atlanta. :)
(3)Sun B.
Bread pudding is amazing, very filling. Also tried my husbands Egg Benedict and the flavors all went well together . It was prepared on a croissant . He said it was the best he said he's ever had.
(5)noam m.
disappointing. we were visiting Savannah for thanksgiving for the first time, and were looking for a nice place to start our morning with. Came here after reading the reviews. At best - nothing to report, the waffles and veggie sandwich were so so. Hot chocolate resembled nothing of chocolate. Little fruit salad with waffle was decent. The only 3 good things: 1. Location. 2. setting and ambiance 3. Staff was friendly. Other then that, not worth what we paid for. Sorry guys :(
(2)Justin F.
This place was super busy. It's a pretty standard breakfast joint with standard prices and standard food. I was neither impressed nor disappointed. Caveat: I didn't get any of the pastries or desserts that they're apparently more famous for.
(3)Amy E.
Husband and I stopped in here for a quick lunch while we were waiting for AAA. (Ah, the myriad joys of owning an old car...) It was quick, but that was pretty much its only virtue. My better half was reminded of an airport food court; I lean more towards a hospital cafeteria. Either way, these are not places you would normally seek out. And neither is Goose Feathers. Firstly, the atmosphere. It's right by City Market, so it's loaded with tourists. They had probably 20 people on staff between the front and back of house on a Sunday afternoon, and everyone was tripping over each other. I was shoved or swept out of the way by two bussers in 5 minutes after we ordered. The counter staff was supremely unfriendly--I've gotten better service at Burger King. Our cashier told my husband that he was taking too long, and then proceeded to skip us. Seriously? Of course, the guy she moved on to was ordering for like 6 people. Okay, I'm going to have a "this is why everyone hates gluten-free people; they complain about everything" moment. Apparently Goose Feathers has gluten-free bread for sandwiches. You wouldn't know it but for a teeny sign by the register. Consequently, I'd already decided to get a side of curried rice salad by the time I saw it, and knew we were going to get passed over in line (again) if I changed my mind. Annoying. Also, I wanted to ask if the tomato bisque were gluten-free, but decided against it because I knew the staff a) didn't know what was in their food, and b) would tell me what they thought I wanted to hear. Lovely. Finally, they had an oatmeal cookie bar that was labeled gluten-free. I KNOW they are not using certified gluten-free oats in this place, which means that bar is NOT gluten-free. It's seriously frustrating when businesses make a half-a**ed effort to have gluten-free items to make a buck, but are careless to the point of deception. When we finally got our food, it was just okay. My husband's croissant sandwich looked like something you could pick up at Parker's, and my rice salad was edible but bland. We booked it out of there and will not be going back.
(1)Amy W.
Horribly mistreated by a staff member. Food was adequate but nothing great. Of course, it may have been tarnished by how upset we were by the rude treatment we had received. In any case, no food is worth being subjected to that kind of abuse. Yes, abuse. I am not throwing that word around lightly...it truly was abusive. The owner did little to rectify the situation. With so many fabulous restaurants in Savannah, we will cross this one off the list. Will NOT be returning to Goosefeathers again!
(1)Christina S.
I loved the location since it is only two doors down from Ellis square. Also, the croissants were really good. The guys out front (busboys) were super nice, the girls taking the orders, not so much. Maybe they are stressed, but they have an attittude and the coffee is not that great. I think management needs to pay closer attention and sort out the obvious.
(3)Laura M.
The restaurant is a small cozy little cafe that had really good quiche and whoppie pies. I loved it! Georgia peach whoopie pies are my favorite and is only during peach season around May.
(5)Alan A.
My fiance' and I went here for breakfast on a Sunday morning a little before 9am. We were able to walk right up to the counter and order. The food was great. I got an egg, cheddar and sausage on a bagel and a blueberry muffin. Both were fresh, warm and delicious. My fiance' got a bagel with cream cheese, lox, and capers and a chocolate croissant both of which were also fantastic. When we left there was a line almost out the door and there was still a good crowd when we walked by later that afternoon. Highly recommend checking it out. Good people and good food.
(5)Nicole W.
Cheap, convenient, home-made, delicious! Within walkin distance of Ellis and Telfair Squares (we stayed at Avia Hotel; also close to that). Great breakfast spot~ line may be long, but moves super quickly. The owner is usually onsite and cleaning up dishes with the busboys (very down to earth kind of place). I enjoyed the spinach and feta quiche slice ($4) w coffee. Please visit, next time I want to try the bread pudding.
(4)Bill T.
Cute cafe. Long line but it moved fast. The staff was very friendly. We enjoyed a nice breakfast - poached eggs, artisan multi grain bread, fruit. Great coffee! Definitely would go back!
(5)Tom C.
Yes. Go here for breakfast. Very limited menu, but good. The bagels are honest to god real bagels. Something you generally can't find in the South. Eggs are good. They're friendly. It's a small place, but the tables turn over quickly, and the line for food moves. It's not a hang out and eat a long brunch place, but it's perfect if you're in town and looking for a solid little breakfast while walking around the area.
(4)Bob S.
Lack of dining space and frenetic pace diminish the good food vibe. The folks working the counter put up a good front, but the never ending lines are always present. Great croissants, good coffee, solid value in the food offerings, but don't expect much more than a quick gut-fill atmosphere as the employees rush about clearing way for the waiting hordes. It's ironic that this place is a bit of a victim of it's own Yelp popularity.
(3)James A.
Went to Goose Feathers today, I'm so glad we did. I had a egg, cheese, and bacon on a bagel. The bagel was fantastic so fresh! My wife had a chocolate croissant, which was to die for, coffee was great as well. By the time we were done the line was out the door. Highly recommend when in Savannah.
(5)Evan S.
Had the Eggs Benedict - Savannah Style... delicious and well worth the raving comments. Staff was great. One of the greeters ran to the back to get me a glass of water since I was drenched in sweat when I walked in. This is a nice refreshing option if you get tired of having really heavy meals.
(5)Shane H.
This is one of the few places that qualifies for: cheap, fast and good It's located in the center of everything. This is a great spot to start the day with a simple, yet delicious breakfast and go on with your travels here in savannah. The service was pretty good. But I get how they could be not quiet there when the line extends outside of the door.
(4)Reviewer R.
I went in for a lunch take-out; the line was out the door but it went quickly and my order was ready in a reasonable amount of time with no mistakes. It was very chaotic and noisy, so if you're looking for a quiet spot, this probably isn't it. Had the tuna nicoise plus avocado on sourdough (and comes with lettuce and tomato). It was decent.
(3)Andee P.
Visiting Savannah and found this place via Yelp. Great breakfast spot with a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. We even tried to go back the same day for lunch but they had just closed by the time we got there. We'll be back for sure!
(5)SK M.
This place had a line out of the door and I see why. The service is great. My turkey sandwich was as good as a turkey sandwich could be (can't really mess that up) but the bread pudding was the real treat.
(4)Kiram J.
My husband and I ate breakfast here on 2 different mornings as we love dining at local restaurants when visiting other cities. Their bread pudding rocks. I also ordered their oatmeal and it was good as well. Tip of the day: Don't leave Savannah without eating here.
(5)Chris S.
Service was friendly. The line goes by very quickly. Great ambience and a terrific way to start your Sunday. I had the eggeterian. If you eat meat, get it with extra crispy bacon and you'll thank me. My gf had the scrambled eggs which were perfectly cooked. The sweet tea was one of the best I've had. For dessert we shared a mini whoopee pie. The "mini" is more than enough for two people. It's extremely sweet. Awesome breakfast spot. Try to sit by a window.
(5)Clifford S.
Great breakfast place with my kind of morning food, reasonable wait and really good oj. If you're in Savannah, check this place out for lunch or breakfast. Plus, reasonable prices, clean and great service.
(5)Kathy K.
Sandwiches were bland, selection of chips was poor, but the service was nice. Would suggest getting anything but the french baguette. Key Lime pie was pretty tasty.
(2)Kathleen M.
Our hotel in Savannah had breakfast but we came here twice because we enjoyed it so much. After all, didn't your Mom always tell you that breakfast is the most important meal? I love the system of order first and then sit down - it allows the tables to flow nicely. I have always wanted to admonish people that to take up a table before you have your food is what creates the table shortage. They have it all figured out here! We even got to eat outside and when you are from Chicago, that's a big deal in March. Their oatmeal is divine - apples, walnuts, brown sugar and a bit of milk you can add to the creamiest, hottest best damn oatmeal you will ever eat. Lest you think I had a healthy breakfast, I will admit I also had a chocolate croissant and an Irish Cream latte - with green sugar sprinkles. I was able to sight see for hours! My husband had the bagel breakfast sandwich with egg, ham and cheese. I thought it was super boring but he loved it. Listen to your Mom and start the day with a great breakfast.
(5)Juan G.
Their pastries are not as good as they look. Bought a couple this morning and they were dry, burnt and tasteless. Expected better from this place.
(2)Mark B.
Not really sure what the fuss is all about. We went for breakfast/lunch on Sunday waiting for about 15 minutes on line. We ordered a bread pudding, basil and avocado quiche, an Italian panini, and a turkey and pimento cheese sandwich. My boys liked their sandwiches and the bread pudding was good. The quiche had decent flavor (though they used dried basil during basil season), but it had been heated in a microwave. The coffee was nothing special. Counter service and staff were very pleasant, but the overall meal was average. Wouldn't wait on line for it again. Kind of wish I went to Papillote around the corner.
(2)Kevin M.
I've had the bread pudding, the waffles w/ strawberries, fresh bagels, and the Eggetarian. Everything I've had was delicious, the staff is extremely friendly, and I love the cafe-style ambiance. This is a great spot!
(5)p e.
Delicious breakfast sandwiches, great service, and fast! Try the eggs Benedict croissant!
(5)Pimp D.
Long lines but tons of empty tables...what gives? Need to hire an operations specialist. Ordered a latte with extra shot. The latte was weak and disgusting - mostly milk even with the extra shot of espresso. The shrimp and grits was decent, while the eggatarian sandwich was much better. Ok but not great...not really worth the wait IMHO.
(3)Lisa Y.
Great place for a quick breakfast. We enjoyed the apple walnut oatmeal and egg croissant. There was a line out the door, but it moved quickly and there were tables available to eat at.
(4)Danielle C.
went here on a whim during a friend's wedding weekend, she is a vegetarian & read a few good reviews about this place on yelp, so we decided to go for brunch, and let me tell you there was a small line compared to what i'm reading, but omg the chicken, bacon, mushroom, croissant (i'm not sure what it was called exactly) was absolutely melt in my mouth delicious! such a neat little place, with great food, customer service & clean restrooms!
(4)Daniel S.
If your in town definitely stop by for breakfast. Friendly service and great food. Highly recommended.
(5)N K.
Loved it! Simple place. Lovely people. Yummy food! Good variety on the menu. Would've taken a picture of my eggs Benedict but it looked so inviting that I ate it before my brain could process anything else. Good hot chocolate too. This is going to be the start of a great day!
(5)Dominic S.
Another disappointment in the food scene of Savannah. The food is premise and frozen. When you order it is microwaved and sent out. Everything was terrible. The manager did however refund our money and was very understanding. We will not go back or recommend this place to anyone.
(1)Mandie M.
Stopped in on our way down to Florida for breakfast, not to be disappointed. The latte I had was delicious and the quiche the best I've ever had in my life. The way they had two busboys walking around kind of in your face is a little weird but other than that... Yum!
(4)Wendi M.
Lovely spot for breakfast. Quite a bit of variety too. Small items like muffins to full scale breakfasts like waffles, eggs, toast. Fabulous!

Great service. I got the bread pudding (very good), a refreshing "the Chippewa" (homemade veggie cream cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, sprouts, sweet red pepper on multi grain), and shrimp and grits (yum!). Would recommend to others who are looking for an easy, delicious lunch.
(5)Jennifer B.
Sublime! Those croissants are luscious! Lox and bagels were tasty, and the eggs Benedict was perfect! Enjoy!
(5)Carrie E.
Quick, fresh, cheap breakfast - perfect for tourists like us. The eggs Benedict is so good...and under 7.00!
(5)Betsy K.
Delish!! Long line to order but once you get the food it is worth the wait. Line moves right along. We had the eggeterian and the eggs Benedict, both excellent. We contemplated going back up to get something else it was so good. Loved it! Yummy breakfast spot in Savannah!
(5)Lissa W.
Visited savannah for a week and my niece goes to SCAD, this is a great place that the local love. The service is great and the food is even better! I had the bird's nest and I do not usually eat grits but it was so good. Another time I had the egg croissant very good as well. And if the line is long the staff will do all they can to seat you whole party. A must go breakfast place.
(5)Darth S.
So I came for breakfast to this cozy place during my visit to beautiful Savannah. My kids loved the food, my wife loved her croissant, and I... I loved everything about this place. The eggs Benedict and the bread pudding were out of this world. It's been a month and I still dream about the warm bread pudding.
(5)Carrie M.
Heard so many good things about the whoopie pies. Got two of the minis, they were both very dry. I'd skip this place and go for ice cream elsewhere.
(2)Kathy C.
Our party of six decided to try Goose Feathers for Sunday brunch and we were not disappointed. We ordered a variety of dishes including bagel, sandwiches, soup, desserts etc. Everything tasted really good. There were so many selections to choose from that it was actually a good thing that there was a line so we could study the menu to figure out what to get. For the location and portion of the food, I thought the price was really reasonable as well. I would definitely visit Goose Feathers again the next time I come to Savannah and try some of the dishes that looked interesting, but didn't have the stomach size to try all in one meal.
(4)Michael C.
Get fresh avocado with your eggs n croissant. Delicious!
(4)Mary V.
Delicious eggs Benedict on a freshly baked croissant. The five to ten minute wait is worth it. Always try the homemade bread pudding. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. My only complaint would be the Additional charge of 1.00$ when I added a tomato slice to my sandwich. Really? But it is a tourist Mecca... For good, yummy reasons. Excellent coffee too!
(4)TJ K.
One of the best breakfasts I have ever had. This place is a local hot spot in Savannah, GA and my family and I decided to try while we were in town. We found it by chance, but were not disappointed. The lines are a bit long as this place is pretty popular, but the wait was worth it. I highly recommend the Egg-etarian. Can't remember if that is the exact name, but it is something like that and it is fantastic.
(5)Sunny Y.
Very healthy traffic-always a good sign Your order shows on a screen which is a good concept (took a picture) Staff were friendly. The owner interacted with my 3 yr old and remembered her name when leaving. Who wouldn't like that? I ordered smoked turkey Reuben Flatbread was of high quality covered in Rosemary which gave it a nice flavor I would have preferred more toasted - it was more on the warmed side as opposed to toasted Turkey quality was good - quantity was less then expected. I envision reubens as a stuffed sandwhich in terms of meat Size was large, the flatbread does overwhelm the turkey, I have a good appetite so a larger sandwich is nice. I didn't leave hungry which is good. Slaw on sandwich was good, honey dressing was not my favorite but that's personal preference. Pricing was reasonable much better valuable than Panera Bread which I would consider comparable I would think if you like Panera Bread then you will have a great experience here.
(4)Brad A.
Great breakfast
(4)Samuel C.
Great food, if you don't mind the fast food line atmosphere... I recommend they ditch the creamer packets and use better coffee. The food is fantastic though...
(4)L R.
I work downtown and I eat at Goose Feathers several times a week. It is my favorite place. The food is delicious and fresh and the staff is super awesome. Try it ~ you will love it!
(5)Jack H.
Incredible food and service! Every October & November they have Pumpkin Waffles on the weekends! My favorite!
(5)Justin P.
We were looking to see if we could a decent bacon and egg sandwich, and that's exactly what we got in here. My wife and I had the bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant. It was fresh, hot, delicious, and with the fresh squeezed OJ, we had a good start to the day. For less than $20 you can't beat it, and would definitely come again.
(4)Chris A.
Not bad, but not great. The service was friendly and fast. The breakfast was fine, however I don't think that it warrants some of the rave reviews that I saw
(2)Jono I.
This place was amazing! The pastries all looked amazing but we went with a raspberry and cream croissant and a chocolate croissant and they were really tasty. I highly recommend the Benedict croissant as well! Very delicious and we'll be back next time we visit savannah!!
(5)Teri P.
This was my first time in Savannah, so I did a lot of research to find the popular places to eat. We ate here on our last full day in town, and so far I hadn't been wowed by any of the other places we had tried. I definitely was at this place. I ate here with my husband, mom and step-dad and all four of us thought it was amazing. The food tasted so fresh and had the perfect amounts of flavor. I had the eggs benedict and a hot mocha, my husband had the breakfast panini and Belgian waffles with banana and pecans, and my mom had the salmon BLT. We all tasted of each others food. The mocha was "just good", nothing special but I wasn't expecting it to be. My husband said the waffle tasted like a waffle. All of the actual food though was soooo good! I will venture far enough to say that it was one of the top 5 brunches I've ever had.
(4)Amy D.
Talked my friend into going here for breakfast because of yelp reviews, and we were both very glad we did!! I had a ham, egg and cheese croissant, it was great, the croissant being the best part. She had, what she called, the 'best. waffle. EVER.' with bananas and pecans. It was so good she asked if I minded going again the next morning...no I didn't mind at all!! She had to get her waffle again, and I had to get my croissant again. As most have already said, don't let the line intimidate you. I am not a patient person and normally avoid a line whenever possible, but it only took a few minutes to get thru the line, and they make the food fast. The employees are constantly hustling around getting things done, but not in the least did I feel anyone was rushing us out the door at any time during both our visits.
(5)Mark N.
Pretty nice place came for breakfast or lunch, it seems very popular with a hip, fit young professional and college student type crowd, lots of customers who look like they run marathons or are otherwise quite physically active and health conscious.. decent paninis.. the food did not overly impress me, but it was OK, and the atmosphere is nice..
(3)Wells R.
Came here last year for first time while visiting and liked it so much wanted to make sure I came at least once this trip as well. Decided to come on a Sunday morning probably first mistake!! When I turned the corner to see people standing almost a block around the corner to get in I wasn't happy. There was no water outside while waiting in the heat, and looked as if Manager was trying to set up and save tables for those who wanted to dine in?! When finally my turn I was going to get it to go, but my daughter ordered eggs Benedict you cant eat that in back of a car, i changed my mind to dine in, to make it faster. That caused all kind of confusion, I was asked like will you need a table? anyway too much chaos inside and outside the store!!! having to criss cross through people in line to get to table!! I ordered one of the famous sticky buns and had looked forward to it all year... sadly it was almost burnt the edges were very hard so I gave up. Breakfast for 3= 29.00 ouch! If it isnt busy give them a try, breakfast sandwiches are good, but from a tourist stand point I doubt Ill go through that long of a line for a breakfast sandwich again.
(3)Crystal W.
This is one of my favorite places to get breakfast! Love the avocado, onion, tomatoes and basil quiche. Also the stuffed ham and cheese crossiant is delicious. It gets really busy but the wait isn't long at all. I've never sat down inside and ate. Usually ate on the go or back the hotel.
(5)Kristen R.
I came here on a whim, as I wanted something simple on my visit to Savannah. My order was taken by the owner, who was very nice and welcoming. While the price was not too bad, the amount of food I got was less than expected. However, it was quite tasty, so that's always a plus! (Random note: this place first introduced me to the word "pralines".)
(3)Dan R.
A top choice for breakfast in any town, certainly Savannah. The line was almost to the door when we got there but it moved fairly quickly. Food-to-table was a little slower. I had a black bean omellette for breakfast and asked for an egg on top, which they did (added charge of course) but it was scrambled (I neglected to specify and they did not ask, my bad). I would say this was the best choice for breakfast in Savannah.
(4)Ethan T.
What a find!!! I have read the other reviews, and was in fact drawn here because of the quick tips (great job Yelpers!). I had the breakfast sandwich with eggs, cheese and bacon, every item cooked just right, the bacon was crispy, on a soft flakey croissant in which I could actually taste the butter. I am actually watering at the mouth thinking of this sandwich. It is the only one that I have had that is comparable to the one served at the Midway Cafe down in the FL keys (mile marker 80). The coffee is well above average, and I was glad that the cups were big enough that I had plenty left to take with me as I wandered around town. The first time I walked in the line was short and everything went quickly. I was able to enjoy the open space, the high ceilings, examine the menu, and drink in this new place. The second time, the line was out the door, and after waiting a bit, my hunger drove me on to find a less busy place. If you are reading this, and only have time to try to the place once, stand in line and eat here.
(5)Amanda T.
We loved this place! It was one of several places within walking distance of our hotel so we figured we would give it a shot and it definitely did not disappoint! The "Eggetarian" was probably the best breakfast sandwich we have ever had. Try the quiche too!!! Service was great and super friendly!
(5)Melanie L.
Waiting in a line but it moved fairly fast. I got the egg, cheese and bacon on croissant and it was delicious. The croissant was so buttery and fresh and the bacon was meaty. My dad got the grits. They were delicious as well. It was our first time eating grits. We really enjoyed them with sugar. I also got the sticky bun which was good, not the best I've had though. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
(4)Igor U.
We (2 adults, 2 small kids) all had a very enjoyable breakfast, with sandwiches, yogurt etc. Not 5 starts only because the yogurt breakfast is really too small.
(4)Carrie N.
Had a breakfast sandwich here. It was very good and much bigger than I expected. Service was very good, also. A great place if you're looking for some variety or to try something different.
(5)Sean M.
Crowded but very nice. Food was decent but I would not wait in line like this again for trendy food. Very clean and very nice people
(4)Carolyn P.
Excellent place for lunch. Service was friendly. I had a large garden salad. It was very fresh and the homemade ranch was great. The rest of the family had sandwiches and really enjoyed them. The place is busy but they serve quickly.
(4)Lisa V.
Lines were long and I still don't get why. Food is run of the mill blah. Benedict was covered in an awful hollandaise and was not seasoned with anything. It was just egg, hollandaise and croissant. No sides, nothing. Sticky bun was nuked and hardened onto the plate. Quiche was also nuked and the crust was stale and not fresh. Totally unsatisfying but relatively cheap. Only saving grace was good croissants. Won't be returning.
(2)Kathy A.
The breakfast panini wasn't actually a panini. The eggs in my eggs Benedict were completely overdone (hard boiled) and I somehow had egg shell in them (how that happens with a poached egg, I'll never know!). Very disappointed. Would not return - not worth the line or the money. :(
(1)Tristan H.
All I can think about while I'm here is the geese from Aristocats. Good pastries good coffee. Well put together place.
(4)Gretchen H.
I really wanted this place to be good. It started off oogy, we were standing in front of the Place Order sign and someone next to that sign (Cashier) was just staring at us. So I finally made one of those expressions of "Hey? What's up?" Which was returned with one of those tight lipped wide eye annoyed smiles so I knew that's where we needed to order! Thanks for just staring at us like we were idiots, you rock. After we placed our order there was a number to the side, but it was still closer to the cash register then I feel comfortable reaching for so we just kind of slid to the side expecting that she would hand it to us. Which she didn't...and they didn't tell us where to get the sugar for our coffees... I got the eggs benedict which comes on a croissant and I was like "Whoa! This should be awesome!." But no! It was more like "Whoa! What happened?" To start it was cold..the very inside in the ham had some warmth to it, but the sauce and eggs were all room temperature. Seems to be a theme out here. The eggs are not poached, they are just fried, and while the hollandaise was plentiful it was missing flavor..needed some lemon and maybe a touch more salt. My husband got one of their breakfast sammies and found it to be flavorless, he had to add salt and pepper to get something happening for his tastebuds but geez. I don't know...between the service and the lack of oomph on the food I'll have to pass. Overall very unenjoyable experience which is sad because some of the baked goods looked awesome.
(2)Holly N.
Very yummy! Had an egg benedict and it was the best! Friendly staff and tons of seating
(4)Alex C.
I came here quite a few times with my boyfriend and family when I went to SCAD. The food is delicious, fresh, portioned well, and very affordable, especially if you're on that SCAD kid budget. The Eggetarian (spelling??) is my favorite dish there. A collandaise sauce AND pesto, he-llo! I don't know if they make the baguettes on site but they're crusty and chewy and soo absolutely yummy. I've been thinking about returning to Savannah for a weekend trip and I'll definitely be visiting this place to try some of the things I missed out on if I do. Namely, all their scrumptious sounding croissant varieties.
(4)Jeong C.
You pay more for the ambiance than the food. As far as decor goes, it's classy, sensible, and the location is unbeatable. I'm a little wary of the service as noted by previous reviews. There was a guy who received sugar and cream with his coffee while I was given none, and i had to figure out where to where to find mine. Not a big deal, but attention to detail win my hard earned Yelp points. Better to come here early to beat the lines, and so that your brain is still numb to otherwise disappointing food. The breakfast panini really let me down, and once that happens no amount of bread pudding can save that. Fortunately the weak coffee let me fall asleep to forget this bad dream. I hope this was an off day, or better yet, they would scrap that panini mess altogether. However, it seems like they do the regular breakfast fare pretty well.
(3)Twisty H.
I liked this place - it's really cute and there are some interesting things on the menu. I just think it's not quite worth the exceptionally long wait on line to order (15-20 minutes or more) before finding a place to sit down and wait some more for your order to arrive. I went for the relatively healthy roasted sweet potato with pecans and cinnamon butter. BF had some kind of egg sandwich and a side of tasty turkey sausage. Coffee was really, really weak - even by Savannah standards.
(3)Chase O.
Other than Zunzi's, this is my favorite place to get lunch in Savannah. From the staff, to the food, to the owner; everything about this place is worth writing home about. I ate here frequently for six years until I moved out of Savannah and 2009, and when I went back to visit three years later, the owner still knew my "regular order" (which was the Chicken Pita) even though she never knew my name. Everything is "personal" with this place, and you can taste the love that goes into it within the food. Highly recommend.
(5)Vanessa V.
Ah-mazing. We needed a quick breakfast before we got on the road, and the word "express" made me confident that they could make that happen. We called in our order as we were checking out of the hotel, and within 2 minutes we pulled up outside. I ran in, past an enormous line, to the pick-up counter and got a quick glare from the girl at the register (I guess people just place phone orders from outside and walk in to avoid the line?) before happily skipping out with our bagels. They weren't New York bagels, but for Georgia they are about 700x better than I was expecting. I got one with egg on it, and the egg was cooked fresh, not just a re-heated patty. Highly recommended! Just make sure to leave them plenty of time to actually make your food before you pick it up :)
(4)Caitlin M.
This is conveniently located near Ellis Square hotels, so we ended up coming here twice for breakfast. The breakfast sandwiches were excellent--I had the egg, cheddar, and spinach sandwich, and it was a very flavorful vegetarian option. The eggs were fluffy and the spinach is sauteed with onion and (I think) artichoke. I could eat that every day. The coffee was good but not exceptional.
(4)Allana L.
We stopped in here for breakfast while visiting Savannah and although the line was out the door it moved at a decent pace and there was a guy bringing menus out for people. I had the eggetarian which I highly recommend, but be prepared to use a for and knife to eat it because it can get messy! BF ordered egg,cheese,spinach,turkey sausage croissant and it was good but they did forget his spinach and we took it togo :(. I had the house coffee and bf had a cappuccino, nothing special but it was good. We also split a strawberry cram croissant and it was amazing!! Reminds me of a strawberry cheese coffee cake, it was so good!! We stopped back in as we were leaving for more croissants and cinnamon rolls but they were almost sold out so we got whoopee pies, the pumpkin cream cheese one was amazing but we didn't care for the oreo like one, the white cream was too sweet. A great place to visit in Savannah. Good food and good prices!!
(4)James C.
The most amazing cinnamon buns ever! We also had the eggs Benedict and waffles with strawberries and cream. This place is a must! Everything was wonderful, and we'll go back every time we visit Savannah.
(5)Virginia M.
This is a nice place to get a quick breakfast without a lot of hassle.
(3)Travis B.
cute place. cute food options. i haven't had a decent cup of coffee since coming to savannah, but i thought for sure i'd get it here. unfortunately, as soon as i dripped a small amount of cream in, it "tanned" up, immediately exhibiting that "crap, it's way too weak" coffee. i didn't like it. but i wouldn't let that stop a second visit for eats.
(3)Bridget K.
My friend and I decided to take a road trip from the cold weather in Chicago to sunny Savannah. We arrived at 6:30 in the morning after having driven through the night. We slept for a few hours then went looking for food. Luckily my friend had lived in Savannah for a year as a full time volunteer at a medical clinic, so she knew the area. We went to Goose Feathers which was really good. It was like the south's Panera (which I love). The food was really good and they have great service. We didn't have to wait long to order or for food and it was around noon on a Saturday. Which I think would be a pretty busy time. The food was great. I'll have to go back again the next time my friend and I decide to take an 18 hour road trip each way to Savannah.
(4)Katie B.
Great for a quick lunch. Tables turn over really fast, so it's easy to run in, grab a sandwich and wolf it down. The food is great and you can get anything from really light to heavy duty, belly stuffing fare. Their drinks and baked goods are also top notch. The service, though rushed because of the rapid customer turnover, is always competent and considerate. Sitting outside is the ticket, since the inside isn't much to look at and a bit claustrophobic. The outdoor tables are nicely shaded and provide a view of the square.
(5)Robert M.
Only issue here is parking, have patience. Fortunate for us a parking space opened up directly in front of restaurant. Deli style ordering with made to order items. Excellent service, fresh pastries, hot coffee. What more could you ask for. One of my favorites.
(5)Sundi P.
Great little place. Their breakfast and coffee were excellent. Got busy fast. We both had the eggle bagels with spinach and they were awesome.
(5)Natalie J.
Staff was very friendly and food was good, especially the pecan pie! We will be back for sure next time we are in Savannah! There was a wait, but we didn't mind.
(5)Rhonda O.
DO NOT order their coffee..it was so weak. Otherwise, super cute and quaint place. Loved the menu items. My husband got a panini. I ordered the eggetarian. I loved it! The prices were fair, and the staff friendly. Also as a side plus, i enjoyed the boutique shops next to this cafe.
(4)Keith B.
I was expecting a lot having read the reviews but i left not that impressed. 4 of us got breakfast and the first thing was that my cappuccino was just not that good. I am not a coffee snob but a like a cappuccino not a shot of espresso with a ton of milk poured on top so it becomes a weak latte. The breakfast sandwich was good but not great as were the two egg croissants. Maybe it was an off day but was just an average breakfast rather than a great morning cafe experience
(3)Paul L.
I loved this place. it's a popular bakery shop where they make delicious sandwiches full of veggies. Although you can create your own, the menu sandwiches are creative, wholesome and delicious. If you are seeking to eat healthy in Savannah, this place is a must. The prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is a bit hectic but quiet.
(4)Ellie S.
Ate here November 2008. This restaurant looks like the Corner Bakery kind of place but, true to the reviews we easily got a seat and the food was quite good. Belgium waffles are great, ham was good and we had some kind of potatoes with rosemary that were quite good. All and all a good, easy and quick breakfast. Customer service was average.
(4)Alex H.
Awesome atmosphere, very casual. The food was great, although a little pricey. Friendly service. If you're looking for a quick bite to eat in downtown Savannah, it doesn't get much better than this.
(4)Kathy H.
We will be back when next in Savannah. Great atmosphere, great service, great food. When you're dying for something NOT fast food, and NOT run of the mill, and are greated with a smiling croissant sandwich of breakfasty goodness, or a HUGE fluffy Belgian Waffle covered in fruit, you know you made the right choice.
(4)Dan G.
Great breakfast stop. Just enough to start the day off right and the $8 bill was a surprise for the 2 of us to eat a good breakfast. The Quiche Lorraine was very good and paired with the great service, I give Goose Feathers 5 glowing stars!
(5)Sneaky B.
Great place for a quick lunch. Had the club.
(5)Angie B.
Great menu for a quick breakfast or lunch. I had the club sandwich on multigrain bread and really enjoyed it. You could tell that the bread was extremely fresh and I loved that I could add sprouts to my sandwich. My sister had the avocado and tomato quiche and really enjoyed it as well.
(4)Micah A.
Great breakfast spot! I had their Eggs Benedict -- highly recommended! Coffee was great. For the price, this place does a great job!
(5)Kristen J.
My sister really wanted to go to this place, so we went. She loved her "Eggetarian" and latte and I thought my meal of an Eggs Benedict, Potatoes and OJ was just okay. I was a little disappointed that they don't explain that Eggs Benedict is prepared differently there...as in, usually they are on an English Muffin--but there they are on a buttery, fluffy croissant which was weird, and just not what I am used to. It didn't look like what I was expecting and I guess that is where I was let down. If you are going to make things different from how they usually are prepared, write that in the byline or description. Another weird menu item was my potatoes, which were little red round boiled potatoes instead of homefries or tater tots or hashbrowns which was what I thought they meant by "potatoes on the side"...I mean, it was breakfast--I guess I just assumed it would be more traditional. The orange juice was good though. The food was good, but not what I thought it would be.
(3)Erika A.
Stopped in to pick up a lunch for a picnic lunch when I was in town visiting my folks. Awesome sandwiches! Great service! My kids even loved it!
(5)John K.
The best breakfast we had on our 4 day trip to Savannah! So good we actually came back for breakfast 2 times in a row and bought a coffee mug because my girlfriend loved the Goose's bowtie. She says it stole her heart. Very delicious croissants, a great cup of coffee, and most importantly EXCELLENT service. Seems like it fills up quick, but the staff keeps the line moving steadily. Strongly recommended if you're staying at one of the near by hotels and you're looking for somewhere to get the morning going.
(5)Candace P.
Very short walk from River St and there was only a short line on a Sunday morning. This is definitely more of a cafe than a restaurant. You order in line and pickup the food at the counter or they bring out things that take a bit longer. From what I could tell, everything is premade, even the hot stuff. Prices are reasonable on most items. Bagel w/cream cheese was under $2. Juice is fresh squeezed. Fruit is fresh. The Quiche Lorraine was delicious - very rich crust and the filling was delicate. I was a bit disappointed by the bread pudding. It wasn't warm enough and tasted a bit bland in spots. Overall a good place to stop in without having to drive all over the city or spend a fortune.
(3)Amy I.
Great coffee. The bread pudding and eggs Benedict are wonderful! Great prices!
(5)Megan J.
We went here twice while visiting Savannah. I wish we had a place like this near our house. The food is great and very fresh. The servers are responsive and nice. The granola tastes like homemade and the croissants are delicious. I also love the coffee, definitely quality and not cheap stuff though I do wish they had more of a coffee bar and you didnt have to go ask a server at the counter every time you wanted more. A great place to eat and enjoy a morning before you set off to explore Savannah.
(5)Abigail I.
Just gross.
(1)Jan M.
I enjoyed a wonderful veggie sandwich (the Chippewa) and iced tea for lunch on Valentine's Day here. The baked goods looked good, but I behaved. The Lady and Sons is about a block away, but I was hungry early and did not want to fuel that cash machine known as Paula Deen ( I really used to like her, but she has joined Rachel Ray on the dark side).
(4)Sheri G.
This is a solid spot for getting some breakfast before heading out to tour the historic district. The people behind the counter are very pleasant. There's lots of seating, the coffee is decent, and they have a variety of breakfast goods. One day I had quiche and the next a bagel with veggie cream cheese. They were fine, nothing mind-blowing. My husband got a Belgian waffle with fruit and ice cream on top because that's what you eat for breakfast while on vacation.
(3)J H.
Fun place for breakfast. Fast service. I had the oatmeal;). Huge Belgian waffles.
(3)Shaunna T.
The eggetarian was amazing. A little busy and crowded, but great service.
(4)Cowboy B.
I found none of the negative experiences of other Yelpers to be true for my visit. The owner was gracious and nice. I think others may have caught her at a super busy/stressful time. She did seem busy trying to make sure her employees were getting things right and there were a lot of customers on this morning. The line was almost out the door. The breakfast bagel and especially the breakfast panini was top notch. The panini took a little while but they brought it to our table and the wait wasn't long. The eggs were fluffy and didn't feel processed or like they were heated from a frozen disk like other breakfast bagel places. The bread and bagel tasted homemade. Coffee was good. Location convenient to the river, near Lady and Sons. This would make a good launching off point for a walking tour of Savannah. Their whoopie pies were excellent! I've had them from different places and these were my favorite. Not too sweet with moist cake. Peach whoopie pies were different and wonderful. This restaurant is definitely on my list of places to visit on our next trip to Savannah.
(4)Angie G.
The avocado onion tomato quiche was delicious. Slices were kinda small. The bread pudding is amazing and not heavy and they serve you a HUGE portion! Fast, kind service and cleanup. Great location.
(5)Jeff H.
Great for B-fast. In a town the clamors for people to grab a drink and take a walk . . . This is the kind of place you need the next day, when the sun warms the Atlantic and sounds the bell for Savannah to wake up and get on with the day.
(4)J M.
We had breakfast here after a night and brief day in Savannah...the coffee was fantastic, breakfast sandwhich great and service even better. I would definitely come back.
(4)Imran Q.
Eh. Nothing special. The usual breakfast fare made mediocre. Some extras in the menu (bead pudding) but nothing really "wow"-ing. It's a good place to go in Savannah since I don't think there is an IHOP close by. The atmosphere has it's charm.
(3)Sarah L.
My friend: I think this place is ok, if they got rid of the checkerboard tablecloths. Me: And the bugs. My quiche was good (if a bit salty, but whatever it's a diner the quiche is going to be salty) but my bread pudding was GREAT. There is a sign on the wall saying that the bread pudding is "world famous," which I'm not sure about, but it was definitely the most appetizing thing on my plate or any of the plates around me.
(3)Michelle S.
I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast from this restaurant! (We visited Savannah just for a few days) I ordered one of the baguette sandwiches with all kinds of vegetables and cheese. When I saw the price on the menu I wondered why it cost that much, but when I actually saw my sandwich I totally understood. It was fresh and tasty and good size (I need a good and big breakfast). I also ordered simple white baguette with cheese, which also tasted rather nice. I have to say, though, I wasn't that crazy about their blueberry muffin. It was very sticky and too sweet for my taste. I still finished it anyway! I got a really good parking spot right in front of the restaurant (metered). I didn't eat at the restaurant - they take orders on the phone / their website, so whenever you show up your order is ready for pick-up. I loved that service since I was on the go. I'll come back again if I am in Savannah.
(4)Kate F.
High points for this locally-owned eatery, and the convenient location and homemade food. We came in for breakfast on a Tuesday morning at about 9am. We didn't have to wait in line. The menu items were appealing and everything was clean. We had the egg-pesto sandwich on a croissant and a spicy sausage breakfast panini. The pesto sandwich could have been better - but it was ok. The panini was really good. The coffee was great. The service was fabulous. As far as touristy breakfast spots go, this would get our vote. Prices were fair. We probably won't crave going back, but we would tell friends in the area to check it out.

We have been at Goose Feathers many times, and it is always wonderful. The staff is very nice and they are very prompt when bringing out your food. We love Goose Feathers!
(5)Cristi G.
ok i give it a four only because they dont have omelottes! everything else was quite yumm and smelled delish..i hear a lot of the locals go there and thats always nice, and as per my expeirance i was greeted quite spectacularly as i walked in ;0)
(4)Lark L.
This place will always be busy due to great location. The restaurant set-up is ridiculous--and seeing that they have been around for years and still can't or won't try and make a more productive and easy ordering process for the customer is ridiculous. This obviously really bugs me! Making a few changes and adding a register could make the waiting and ordering process much more efficient. Breakfast was alright---just breakfast.
(2)Jae K.
Really cute place. Loved the atmosphere and checkered floors. The service was very friendly and fast. I went here twice while visiting and would definitely return. As a vegan I had some options. The Scarborough sandwich was really delicious (minus the cheese) and I found it reasonable at $5. My father loved the coffee so much he bought a pound of it to take home. I actually ate my sandwich here before my parents trekked down the block to the horrific Lady and Sons--1 star review for that place! Goose Feathers is a much more "Savannah experience."
(4)Bryan O.
The farthest thing from a typical "southern" breakfast place. Actually seemed like something out of tahoe or Colorado ski town. Had the very southern lox and bagel, while the boy had a waffle & banana. No biscuit & gravy or such to be found. Still, really good food, clean and friendly.
(4)Smacks A.
Dropped by and had a great breakfast. I had a delicious yogurt and fresh granola and shared the veggie bagel sandwich with the Mrs. I thought the prices were fair and the service was excellent.
(4)Cari G.
Great menu items available. Good prices and great customer service. You can choose options from naughty (baked goods) to nice (oatmeal). Accessible location near popular area favorites including Broughton Street and City Market.
(3)Kaitlyn H.
The food is tasty, but average. The prices aren't bad for but for the same price down the street, you could likely get something a bit better. It's cozy and the people are friendly... just one major thing: no matter what time of the day I've been in there, they've been sloooooow. Please change your name "express" cafe and bakery. It's misleading.
(3)Elizabeth M.
I was in from out of town and looking for someplace to grab a quick lunch. This turned out to be a great choice -- pleasant atmosphere, not too noisy or crowded (even though it was a Saturday), and my bacon mushroom melt and latte were delicious.
(5)Betsy K.
Goose Feathers was highly recommended. We stood in the line outside on a brisk February day. As an employee came out and handed out menus in order to speed up the ordering inside, someone in our group mentioned we had brought 14 people. When we got inside, we noticed they were moving and setting up a long dining space for 14 people, without being asked. We were impressed! Food was excellent - had Eggs Benedict and cheese grits. Everyone else in our party enjoyed their various dishes, including the Red Velvet Whoopie Pie, Belgian fruit waffle with frozen yogurt, and a variety of egg and sandwich meals. Yay for Goose Feathers!
(5)I. F.
I went to this place last Wednesday I believe. Anyway, I got a nice bagel with lox and cream cheese. It was great-great tasting lox. The only thing I have to complain about is that, it's way too overpriced. I shouldn't have to pay 7.50 for that. But, I'll definitely for sure go their again, and get something else.
(4)Cynthia V.
EXPENSIVE. 2 Oatmeal's and 2 drinks came to 14 bucks? Thats ridiculous. But the oatmeal was good. The seating is nice.
(3)Chrissy S.
Amazing food! I got the Belgian waffle all the way, so it had fresh fruit, whipped cream and frozen yogurt on it. Delicious!
(5)Alex W.
Relatively weak selection of coffee and baked goods but what they did have was tasty. Enjoyed a late and several muffins. Update: Received a nice note from the owner, after I posted the review, asking for suggestions and noting that they try to make just enough baked goods so they sell out each day. Given this, I thought it would be fair to note that we stopped by around 1:30pm so the baked goods selection is likely better earlier in the day.
(3)Amy N.
My parents raved about this bakery, so we stopped here for lunch after we learned that Vinnie Van Go Go's didn't open till 4 p.m. on weekdays. Any place that serves breakfast all day is gonna be high on my list. I ordered the scrambled egg & cheddar sandwich served on a croissant, and I got it topped with bacon and spinach. The cheddar looked to be a white cheddar - not your typical greasy orange stuff - and the spinach was cooked nicely. I am always dismayed when I order spinach on a hot sandwich and you end up with partially-wilted raw leaves and thick stems. Also had a mug of their house coffee that I enjoyed. Matt had their smoked turkey rueben, which was served on rosemary foccacia. The sandwiches were both fairly ample portions, but mine rang up at $6.55 and Matt's at $7.25, so not the world's cheapest given their simplicity. They were satisfying though, and I hope I'll be back to try their other items.
(4)Jim P.
Great fast food alternative. Excellent selection of sandwiches for lunch. Loved the quiche, chicken wrap special that they had, and the whoopee pie. Nice casual local place.
(3)Lily S.
The comment card that I attached to this post tells all. We stayed at a small b&b across from Forsythe Park and the short trek down Whitaker was well worth the food here. Simple, flavorful and cheap. Don't let the line scare you, it flies.
(4)Dino H.
Great breakfast place. Dont let line fool you because it goes pretty fast. I got the eggetarian (with scrambled eggs instead of poached). Liked it so much that we went back a few days later. Prices were good too.
(4)Evan B.
Great place for breakfast. The place your order and take a seat system even worked on a bust Easter Sunday. The Nest, with a side of ham made a hearty breakfast. Pork sausage and rosemary potatoes with poached eggs made a first rate combo for my wife.
(4)Alie P.
Yum! That is my review. So good. Nice bakery with breakfast, sandwiches, coffee, tea, and baked goods. Casual atmosphere. Walk or pay to park off street.
(5)Marco's L.
One of the best bakery in Savannah . The butter croissant and chocolate croissant are just unbelievable!!! By the way the croissant was one of the best croissant I ever try in the USA. I m originally from Switzerland and today I finally find back after 1 year an awesome bakery !! I m so glad to have them in savannah !!
(5)Mike K.
Breakfast was great! I really enjoyed the grits and eggs. Perfect start to a warm day in Savannah. We got there at 9:15 on a Sunday and had a short wait. By 11 the line was down the block. Go early and head to the river walk.
(5)B R.
Looks daunting when you walk up and see a line out the door but its a counter walk up and order concept. The oatmeal was the best I've ever had and my boyfriend loved his croissant breakfast sandwich! The customer service is spot on which table bussers and managers constantly walking around to check on you. Great food, great atmosphere, and delicious classics! Do it!
(5)Kim D.
Highly rated for the area, and we were hanging out in the City Market area at the right time. We stopped in, encountered a small wait. I grabbed an outside table, while my buddy ordered. We both got the combo (1/2 sandwich plus cup of soup). We got the chicken salad - delicious! My friend got the gazpacho (my first time trying it, pretty tasty) and I got the cream of vegetable soup (REALLY REALLY GOOD). The only thing is that the chicken salad sandwich was more bread than chicken salad and I commented on this when the manager came by. He said it was a "measured" scoop, but surprised me by bringing a cup back with a few spoonfuls more of the chicken salad. I filled my sandwich bread for a perfect sandwich! I would visit it again. Our meal together was about $15 with one drink, before tip.
(4)Justin W.
It's just so good, everything here. I don't even have to provide advice, just come. Actually, the bread pudding is super good.
(5)Mark J.
I came here to escape the daily routine of the hotel breakfast buffet only to end up having a meal which was comparable. After walking in, I looked at the croissants which did not look very buttery and flaky (given the high standard set at the Papilotte nothing less would do at this point), so I opted for a Eggel Bagel. The Eggel Bagel is essentially scrambled eggs on a bagel, to this I added a chocolate muffin. The muffin was excellent but the Eggel Bagel had no flavor whatsoever even salt and pepper could not save it. I could have saved the walk and made my own tasteless bagel and scrambled egg sandwich at the hotel. While the food itself did not do a whole lot for me the service is truly outstanding and that's why I gave it an extra star. Even though I did not try it, the sticky bun looked scrumptious.
(3)Peyton C.
not too impressed. way too hot inside the restaurant. got an "overstuffed" chicken salad sandwich that was barely any bigger than my husband's regular. small cup of fruit for $4. wouldn't come back :(
(3)Jeff G.
Had the Barnard Club and was able to choose from a variety of bread choices. Quick and very friendly service at a reasonable price.
(5)Nina P.
Loved our breakfast here! We checked out a few other places in the area before coming here. We were glad we waited because the food was great! We had the waffle with a side of eggs. The service was quick and was a great experience while exploring Savannah!
(5)Olivia P.
We asked a local for a good breakfast place and got recommended Goose Feathers, we had about a 20 minute wait but it was worth it! Defiant must try while in Savannah, coffee is amazing!
(4)Maria Gabriela O.
Excellent service an unbelievable food. If you ever stop in Savannah you MUST have breakfast/brunch here. The Bernard Street Club (add extra avocado) is delicious! It gets packed, but it is worth the wait for sure!
(5)Cindy B.
I came in for breakfast because I heard that they had aMAYzing bread pudding. I'm a sucker for bread pudding. And it WAS very good. But the item that really captured my tastebuds was the breakfast panini. I'm kind of a plain Jane when it comes to food but I'm on vacation so decided to come out of my box a little. This sandwich has a panini oil spread that exploded in your mouth at the first bite. A little tangy..a lot garlic. That combined with the eggs, peppers, salami (yes, salami for breakfast), and Vermont cheddar cheese on panini bread was one of the best breakfast sandwiches that I've ever had! Only one cautionary note..bring your appetite if you decide to try this sandwich. Or share with a friend, as it is DOUBLE the size of a normal breakfast sandwich. It really was a great meal!!
(5)Ryan F.
Great food, something for everyone. The organic yogurt and fruit was fresh and delicious.
(5)G L.
This place is just good. We went twice during our 4 day visit in Savannah. The quality of bread was great, other ingredients like vegetables and fruits were fresh, the service was amazing even though the place was really busy. You might see a long line in front of the bakery, but it won't take that long. The operation system is very organized, so the waiting is pleasant, and worth to wait. You will experience very warm and active morning of southern kitchen in the bakery. That's more than just having a breakfast.
(5)David F.
We ordered the Garden Vegetable soup to go and was unpleasantly surprised with the lack of vegetables. Should have been called the Garden Broth instead.
(2)M N.
We waited in a line that was going out into the side street. The restaurant is organized and works like a well oiled machine so though the line looks long it moves along quickly, and be sure to know what you want before getting to the counter. The quality of the food was great and surprisingly fresh. Belgian waffle, quiche, eggs Benedict sandwich, and even the scrambled eggs were all done well which can't be an easy task. Every staff member was friendly and even said "we hope you enjoy your visit to Savannah." So yes their are many tourists but I didn't care! I enjoyed my breakfast here. Do not miss this one.
(5)Jared R.
Wow! Visiting Savannah from Palm Coast, FL and found this place on Yelp. Got here early on Black Friday so we missed the long line out the door that formed by the time we finished our breakfast. Everything we ordered tasted great! The bread pudding was moist and topped with what tasted like a caramelized apple spice glaze; the portion size was enough for 2-3 people.
(5)Kelli P.
Friendly staff. Clean restaurant. Wide variety of breakfast and lunch options. Lunch is served all day. Their breads and pastries contain no artificial ingredients to maintain freshness. I had the Barnyard Street club. Smoked ham, white turkey, Swiss cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato and cucumbers. On pita. Yummy. They posted their inspection report. 100% A.
(5)Cecily A.
So good!!! Don't let the line out the door sway you to find another place... The line moves fast and the service is quick. Goose Feathers is a counter order/pay restaurant which helps in the fast service. Everything is al a carte, nice because you can custom make your own breakfast. I highly recommend the eggs Benedict with a side of cheese grits!
(5)Rachel B.
Solid place to grab an economical breakfast! We ate outside and enjoyed the eggetarian, which was basically a croissant, pesto, a poached egg and hollandaise sauce. Yum!! Good service. I can't believe how many people were moving through that place, but it went quick.
(4)Jeff V.
I ate here this morning the place was pretty busy i would imagine for the breakfast rush. I enjoyed the bagel and what taste like a homemade cream cheese. Enjoyed the fact they came and got my dishes when i was finished with my meal .
(4)E F.
Great fresh and healthy sandwiches, so good we ate our entire sandwich! There's something for everyone on their menu.
(5)Owen H.
How this places has any kind of positive review is beyond me the food is terrible. The sandwich has more bread than anything else more cabbage than meat and everything else that I saw people consume looks like absolute trash. I think the reason why it has decent reviews is the only other lunch thing to eat in this area is a McDonald's. The location and concept has so much potentiol. The execution is so horrid I would rather eat airplane food.
(1)Katie L.
Stopped in Goose Feathers for a quick breakfast before heading out of town. The line was fairly long but it moved quickly. I ordered an eggel bagel (egg and cheese sandwich on a bagel), a side of grits, and a large "special coffee of the day". My total was under $10 which was appreciated. The food came out fast and tasted fresh. The bagel itself didn't have much flavor but it was a "plain" bagel. To my disappointment, my coffee was just a regular coffee and not the special flavored coffee of the day but it was decent (and they were the same price so it didn't really matter). I'd definitely come back here for breakfast the next time I'm in town.
(4)Charlie C.
Awesome brunch spot! Goose Feathers is a small bustling cafe with a nice vibe. Though the line was long, the staff is so proficient and friendly that everything moves along quickly. I had the smoked turkey Reuben on ciabatta with slaw, Swiss and a tasty Dijon sauce. Awesome! I can't wait to try more.
(5)John B.
I love coffee, like where are the beans from type. Coffee here perhaps better than SBs but probably not your cup if tea if you are a coffee snob (pardon the mixed metaphor). My waffle was good. Plenty of room and selection. You won't be disappointed but likely not ecstatic either.
(3)Diana M.
This place gets super-crowded. I placed an online breakfast order for take-out. The food was ready in 20 minutes and was really good, particularly the eggs benedict and quiche lorraine. But one item from my order was missing, meaning my kids had to share their breakfast--which caused some drama. The breakfast potatoes were really good. The waffles were ok--kind of soggy, which may be because they were in a styrofoam container while I walked back to the hotel. The prices are very reasonable too. I would definitely return.
(4)Eric S.
Can't think of any cons so I'll skip my usual format of Pros, Cons, and final verdict. This place rocks. For $6.75, you can get delicious eggs benedict on a homemade croissant. My wife got a large plate of excellent grits with two poached eggs, salsa, and cheese for the same price. The food is unassuming, to the point, and very good. The service is friendly, the wait was zilch/super short, and it is in a lovely part of town. Maybe we'll go back tomorrow morning for seconds!
(5)Megan P.
We had a nice fresh breakfast and the coffee was outstanding. They are opened at 7am and everything looked and smelled amazing. My eggs were perfect and my son had a Belgium waffle. My husbands breakfast sandwich was also a hit. We will be back!
(5)Joanna F.
GREAT bagel sandwich on our last day in Savannah. I would definitely come back if in the area for fresh bagels or breakfast sandwiches!
(4)Bryan L.
Great breakfast Quiche, egg croissant, grits, coffee-very filling food All made with extra style Sit down storefront Busy and very efficient Owners taking the orders 12 people work here on busy days
(5)B B.
We were looking for a coffee place near our hotel and the concierge recommended this place. Their coffee was amazing. Their breakfast food was delicious and very reasonably priced...much lower than most places in the historic district. We ended up going there every morning for breakfast.
(5)Elizabeth W.
I came here about two Decembers ago and it was so delicious I still remember how delicious it was but the service wasn't as memorable but who cares when something tastes this good. I ordered the savannah style eggs Benedict and it was the best decision I've ever made. I love eggs Benedict as it is and I'm on a quest to find the perfect one and so far this has the #1 spot in my heart. First of all, it was served on a soft, warm, flaky, buttery croissant and it was such a pleasant twist from the original eggs Benedict. The egg was poached perfectly spilling the yellow egg yolk all over the perfectly savory slices of ham all blanketed with the best hollandaise sauce I've ever laid my taste buds on. It was love at first bite. Every single bite got better, the last bite being the best which is my favorite occurrence when on a culinary adventure. It is my favorite dish to date and I've longed for it ever since, constantly considering taking the drive from Orlando to savannah just to give it another go.
(5)Jennifer K.
Great place for breakfast or lunch. My husband and I stopped here for lunch today. You order first then find a seat and they will bring your meal to you. We were pleased with the service and how light the meal was. I had the chicken salad sandwich (lightly tossed in pesto mayo with grapes) and my hubby had the chicken pita (hot diced chicken, romaine salad, bacon bits, and tossed in ranch) and pasta salad (traditional but lightly tossed in Oil). We enjoyed it so much that we plan on stopping in for breakfast one morning.
(5)Ann C.
While passing through, I was looking for a place to eat breakfast. One of the carriage tours recommended this place. The line was quick (which I certainly appreciate with two restless hungry kids) The menu selection offered excellent choices for kids and grownups. Kids gobbled the scrambled eggs. I had the Eggs Benedict. (My favorite) Fast and very polite service.
(5)Shane G.
I was not disappointed. The veggie panini was flavorful and the gazpacho was the best I've had, so fresh and flavorful. The iced coffee was perfect.
(5)Diane Z.
The panini and bagels were way underbaked. Nothing was golden brown, but rather it was white and pale. I like it better when I have bread items that are crispy and golden on the outside. Also, I'm not a fan of how the restaurant works. You go in and try to decide what you want from the huge menu. Then get in line, order, and pay. Then you take your number and find a table and wait for your food. Eat then bus yourself. Definitely feels like they want us to pay for service that we will not get. I'd rather it be completely self serve or a sit down restaurant. But this hybrid just confuses and leads to resentment by both sides if either does not follow the protocol that is just expected to be known.
(2)Ana R.
We ate here at Goose Feathers a couple of months back - November I think. Unfortunately I was not impressed. I came looking for a blueberry muffin, there was none. I had the cranberry muffin instead. We had several sandwiches and the bread pudding. Everything is just meh. I am giving them 3 stars because I don't want to kill their ratings. The location is cute and is centrally located in historic downtown. Parking is a pain. We paid $20. and parked by Ellis square.
(3)Kate B.
Great little spot for a quick breakfast. Good coffee :) they have a bakery on the premises so all of their bagels and delicious croissants are fresh and ready. Fresh,fast, and just a short walk from the hotels on river street, the perfect spot for vacationers.
(5)Beth L.
When we approached the restaurant, there was quite a line. However, we moved through and placed our orders pretty quickly. The orders were brought to the table in no time, and the food was superb! I had the shrimp and grits and was pleased. My dining partner had the egg croissant and was just as pleased. Don't let the line deter you - the food was delicious!
(4)Jenn S.
I got in at the beginning of the lunch rush, but service was speedy. My sandwich was delivered to my table before I even finished my cup of soup. The waitstaff was exceptionally polite and welcoming. I liked the open, spacious atmosphere. Even though they were busy, it never felt crowded. I was pleasantly surprised at the decent amount of vegetarian options on the lunch menu. I had The Scarborough (yea sprouts!) and it was tasty.
(4)Cathy R.
Stopped in here on a recent trip to Savannah after noticing the place by walking by the day before and also seeing spotting their ad on a local walking map of the city. The staff taking customer orders were very friendly and upbeat. It is difficult to absorb the large menu, so I went with one of the first items listed, the Eggetarian. Yummy. Especially loved the pesto. I went kind of late for breakfast (around 9:30 a.m. on a weekday), so the lines were not long. It did take a bit to get my food, but nothing extraordinary. I would love to see this restaurant in other Southern cities! Cute, clean place with good prices!
(4)Mary K.
This place is awesome. I ate breakfast here two days in a row while visiting. Try the croissant sandwiches! Great coffee too!
(5)Hsin-yi L.
The grilled salmon sandwich was great, and the Smoked Turkey Reuben was fantastic!! The store is very cute, and the owner and the staff are very nice and warm. I enjoyed my experience in this cafe very much.
(5)Michael C.
Hectic but well run operation. Some of our meal (The bird's nest) was great, the sandwiches so-so. Good pricing but definitley not a place to relax while having a coffee and pastry, as they want you in and out, as indicated by the charging sockets being covered!
(3)Donna V.
Everything that you want a bakery/cafe to be. Service was personal. Food was phenomenal. Had a sandwich with havarti cheese, sprouts, and avocado on delicious soft but not squishy bread, just the thing for lunch. Husband had the gingery chicken sandwich on focaccia bread and pumpkin pie, both perfect. Even though you order at a counter, your food is delivered and you're able to get refills on ice tea, etc. Highly recommend this place, they have a wide menu with sweet/savory options.
(5)Anonymous A.
its good and quick for a weekday lunch. Not much else to say about that.
(5)Raeden G.
Just ordered delivery to my hotel from here and I am impressed. So much so, that it has compelled me to write my first Yelp review. And I've been awake since 4am traveling in, so that's saying something. I ordered the Barnard Street Club on Sourdough with herb mayo. This sandwich is really good. Bacon is perfectly crisp, vegetables are remarkably fresh, and the herb mayo really sets it off. Delivery was VERY fast. My only complaint is with the soup. I ordered clam chowder expecting thick, cream-based goodness. What I got was a thin, tomato based, basically vegetable soup with clams. So, avoid the clam chowder, go for the sandwich! You won't be disappointed.
(4)David H.
Saw a commercial for them for approximately three seconds and based on the name alone decided to take my ten year old sister there. This was after vetting them through yelp and checking their menu. I walked in and was SUPER impressed by literally every aspect of the place. Great style, great service, and most importantly great food! Come here if you have picky eaters or if you are just passing through, amazing!
(5)Michael L.
We stopped at this place returning from Florida to NY. The wife was yelping in the car , so we stopped to try it . As soon as you step in to the place you are handed a menu as you stand in line. My wife ordered the eggs Benedict " Savannah style" they ask you how do you want the eggs cooked " impressive" . They wife said they were great . I ordered the Bernard club and a turkey and Swiss croissant . They were both delicious. They coffee was EXCELLENT. I never liked bread pudding but here it was out of this world. The place was great from food and people were friendly. The reason for the four stars : They need to work on better execution of orders. You order and they give you a number and they bring you border. We received our order and was not complete. I waited for 10 minutes and got up to see what happened to my sandwich. YOU NEED TO TRY THIS PLACE AND DONT FORGET THE COFFEE AND A EXTRA CROISSANT .
(4)Tonyne H.
Friendly, well organized staff, amazing food! The Eggetarian (2 poached eggs, topped with sharp cheddar and pesto on a fresh croissant) simply can't be missed, but if you are more in the mood for lunch get the Salmon BLT! If you're there for breakfast, get the Birds Nest grits to share, a huge portion and cooked perfectly!
(5)Tina W.
There's always a long line before I can actually enjoy this awesome restaurant. We had the Belgians waffle with strawberry and salmon BLT. Both are delicious and the service is good too.
(5)Ken O.
This place is absolutely amazing! The eggs benedict and eggaterian are a memorable and delightful experience! Their food alone are a reason to travel to savannah but what also makes them stand out from the rest is the speed and efficiency of their service. At any point in time the line stretches out of the door but you find yourself at the ordering counter faster than you can decide which of the mouth-watering dishes to order. The food will then arrive at your table faster than you can bring the coffee from the ordering counter to your table and add sugar. Wow! That is service!
(5)L R.
We stopped by for breakfast while vacationing in Savannah and are so glad we did! We came on a weekday, so we didn't have to wait in a long line - but by the time we left, the cafe was pretty full. It's not fancy, but it's cute. You order at a counter, pick up your drinks, and then they bring your food to the table when it's ready. It's very well-run, and we had our food within a few minutes of sitting down. Between my husband and I, we had the iced tea, iced coffee, homemade granola, homemade crossaint and egg sandwich on crossaint. Everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. We noticed customers who seemed to be "regulars" whom the staff were (adorably) interacting with. Nice spot to start the day!
(4)JJ S.
This place is amazing! I'm a meat and potatoes type of guy. When my wife suggested this place on our vacation I was a little sceptical. BIG MISTAKE!!!! The breakfast burrito is the best. Simple but really good. There's a line but you get through quickly. The best thing about it is the owner still runs the register. Do yourself a favor, hit this place when your in Savannah.
(5)Kevin W.
Credit another great find to the Yelp app! We stayed in Savannah overnight and in the morning decided we would grab some breakfast before heading to Florida. I would frequent Goose Feathers anytime I am in Savannah! The line was pretty long when we got there, but that moved quickly. They have many options and I have to say the food was outstanding! The freaking waffles are amazing! I also had the Eggs Benedict-Savannah Style and it was equally as good, the croissant was out of this world. Highly recommend swinging by for breakfast!!!
(5)Jennifer D.
Breakfast was great, staff was friendly. Their sweets were good too. There is a reason there was a line out the door.
(5)Lisa R.
For the perfect breakfast in Savannah, this is the place! Fresh baked croissants with eggs and cheese are out of this world and the homemade granola is sublime. There could be a long line, but it goes quickly and the service is outstanding.
(5)Shannon S.
The Pulaski is great! Coffee is delicious! Service is impeccable. Highly recommended.
(5)Lakisha W.
I was downtown with my aunt early in the morning so we decided to get breakfast. I checked on Yelp. The pictures look delicious so we ended up going here. I ordered the specialty for the day which was shrimp & grits and a beach blanket latte with had white chocolate and coconut flavor. I also ordered I ham and cheese croissant to go. The shrimp & grits were very bland. The shrimp taste like they were just boil. There was no seasoning and the grits for watery. My latte had no flavor. It just taste like coffee and water. However, The ham and cheese croissant that I got to go was delicious that's why they got two stars.
(2)Diana M.
Cool breakfast places is not a thing in Savannah so you'll have to remember this place when you travel there. Lots of healthy options and great desserts, and breads, and wonderful quick service. Croissants to die for! Dont let the long lines scare you- it moves very quickly and efficiently. Great Southern service!!
(5)Genea S.
We ate here twice for breakfast on weekdays while we were in Savannah. I am a creature of habit and don't much care for breakfast foods so I had the gazpacho with a 1/2 baguette. I grew up in spain and this gazpacho was excellent! Chunky and full of veggies. I also had a cappuccino and it was very nice. My husband had eggs benedict on croissant and the second time he had oatmeal with apples and walnuts and a bowl of fruit. He loved all of it. Service was fast (you order in line and then get a seat), everyone was very pleasant and nice, the food was hot and cooked to order. The line was not long but I could tell it would be longer on the weekend.
(4)Lissie C.
I came here for brunch and got the traditional eggs Benedict as well as the strawberry waffles. The eggs Benedict comes on a fresh homemade croissant which is absolutely delicious. This is a nice little breakfast spot, just don't expect light/healthy fare the food is a bit rich and heavy.
(3)Vanessa N.
Great place for Sunday brunch. You will probably have to wait in line for a little bit but it's worth it. The staff are very friendly and aim to serve you quickly. I've ordered the shrimp & grits twice & both times it was great. I've also had the gazpacho and curried rice & edamame salad. It's very conveniently located in DT SAV & a popular spot for tourists.
(4)Rick S.
Wonderful bread pudding. Generally very good food. Nice staff. Great downtown location. Reasonable prices. Nothing fancy or elegant here. Just a nice, order at the counter, cafe with great food.
(4)Devon W.
Fantastic food, and a great manager. Lots of baked goodies and fresh sandwiches. Very crowded and noisey, more so self service and quick Cafe. Great for a lit bite.
(4)Morgan H.
bagel and lox was just average
(3)Jon B.
We had a wonderful breakfast here. Great savory croissants, coffee was full-flavored and a blessing on the rare 40º day in Savannah. We'll be back tomorrow...tune in for the review!
(5)Doug W.
The food was great and the people were amazing.ate there 4 times in our week stay.will miss goose feathers
(5)Michael S.
Amazing breakfast experience. Croissant, breakfast panini, cinnamon bun, sticky bun, whoopie pie. Family loved everything. Great atmosphere, friendly service. Would recommend to everyone. Can't wait to come back.
(5)Andrew G.
Wonderful, hearty breakfast. Went 3 times within a week long vacation. Got different things each time. Not a single bad dish.

We for breakfast before leaving town, and wish I would have found it day 1. The line is long but moves quickly. I got the best grits in town and my hub got the special salmon. The hot chocolate is amazing. In the end we got breakfast and some baked goods to go for $25.

They have got.to have somehing going on judgimg by the lines that exists daily. I stopped by for breakfast and the goodies in the bakery case looked delicious. Everything on the menu looked and sounded delicious as well. I opted for coffee and the eggs benedict on a croissant. While neither was bad, I would also not classify them as memorably delicious. The coffee was meh, the ham and eggs were just right and the croissant was both fluffy and flaky just as it should be. So whats holdimg it back? Yuppers the Hollandaise-way too thin and runny for my tastse and really tasteless unfortunately. It looked and tasted like bland yellow Half&Half. That being said, I will return, at least to check out the bakery case's goodies.
(3)Eric R.
Come here! We got the eggs Benedict, the breakfast paninni, and cheese grits. The fruit bowl was ripe and fresh. All were wonderful and the service was fast!
(5)Danielle D.
Great experience here. There are lots of different choices and the prices are very reasonable for it all. My husband and I had bagels with lox and cream cheese and it was good. We also took some croissants home and a pumpkin whoopie pie. The pumpkin whoopie pie was out of this world. The filling was delicious and the pie was extremely moist with a great pumpkin flavor. Would be a regular if it were closer.
(4)Colin K.
We went twice and the experience was great both times. At first, waiting in a line out the door is off putting. But they are efficient and after ordering, your food is out very quickly. Between the two visits, we had a bacon egg and cheese croissant, bacon egg and cheese bagel, breakfast panini, grits with cheese, pecan pie and the bread pudding. All of the items were outstanding, but the breakfast panini and bread pudding really stood out. Also, the flavored coffee of the day is scrumptious. We had caramel cream the first day and raspberry mocha the next. The caramel cream was certainly the best, but the raspberry was good too. All in all they're very friendly, the operation runs smoothly, the prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. If you go, it's worth the wait.

Great food great service. good operation. it is crowded but it doesn't feel like it. The food and service is better than panera. it seems to be completely staffed by grown-ups
(5)Kurt S.
Craving bagels and we were in a rush so I grabbed some breakfast sandwiches to go. The guy (manager) taking my order was downright strange and when he messed up my order he got relegated to making coffee. The bagels themselves weren't terrible, but I wish they had cheese bagels. There was no american cheese so I got swiss and the wife got cheddar. Ham, egg and swiss on a bagel turned out fantastic. Not bad for a down south bagel I guess!
(3)Bob S.
i was looking for a reasonable spot for coffee and breakfast. i had a croissant egg cheese and ham sammich, no pork roll available sadly, but it was a good sammich none the less. i went with sweeet tea, nice stuff.
(4)Andrew B.
Easy place for breakfast. Nice decor and character. Food is quick and simple. The sandwiches were nice, but the quiche was just reheated in a microwave which didn't taste that good.
(3)Omar S.
Surprisingly good, inexpensive, and local. We stopped here two times for breakfast on a recent visit to the Historic District. Friendly staff, fast service, reasonable prices. Hot dishes were generous (one dish is enough for two people with moderate appetites to split), iced coffee and espresso were decent, orange juice wasn't pulpy. Pecan pie was very good (not oversweet or overly set). Mini whoopie pie is the right size for a taste (a whole one is way too much sugar). Everything was fresh and good. Only complaint would be the lack of hot sauce / spice for the egg-based dishes. Definitely recommended.
(5)Cristian B.
Croissants. Wow. Delicious. Nice atmosphere, friendly workers, fast service, AND really good food. I had the egg croissant with spinach and yikes.... Don't think I've ever had a croissant this good. It was so buttery, soft, and flakey. Perfect portions and balances flavors.
(5)Matt F.
Great Place! We had the Eggetarian, a bowl of delicious homemade grits and a spinach and feta croissant. Breakfast all day! Plus they are dog friendly on the patio. Staff was extremely helpful.
(5)Moore L.
Could use some competition in the area. The seating arrangement is very unclear at Goose Feathers-- typically in casual deli restaurants like this, patrons can choose their own seat. So, when we entered, I had my daughter who was suffering from a migraine while traveling with us sit down at a table immediately with plans to order for her. I kid you not she was asked to stand up as she had not ordered yet. We certainly would've left if it hadn't been for needing to feed our hungry family. Their policy, regardless of on par food, reflects poor manners and misinformation.
(3)Hansje G.
We were greeted at the door with menus. After a little bit of confusion we figured out how to order. The cappuccino was excellent. The "birds nest" was a little bland and the grits were a little soupy. Other then that everything was great.
(4)Annalisa W.
The first morning in Savannah we awoke starving and wanting breakfast. We were afraid that it was too late to order breakfast but we were right on time! Service was impeccable let me say first off. From order taking to bussers clearing plates, I was impressed. I've been to fine dining establishments were the service was less attentive and completely lacking. Definitely reminded me I was in the south. Everyone was so polite and genuinely nice. I digress though, let's get to the food! I ordered a croissant breakfast sandwich and truth be told I can't remember anything else. I know my boyfriend was eating but I was so wrapped up in this fluffy, tasty breakfast that I just blanked out. The croissant was perfectly buttery and flaky. Not crumbling apart or dry at all. My fingertips just melted right into the bread. The eggs were well seasoned and the cheese and bacon just made me happy! Perfect way to start the day!
(5)Alyson H.
I had the egg croissant with sausage and a latte. Great way to start our day. Very friendly staff!
(5)Aubrey K.
A bit of a long wait but staff keep a close eye on the line, distribute menus and answer questions so that by the time you are at the counter to order you have a solid idea of what you want. Counter staff very friendly and helpful, no sour faces or fake smiles here. Food is beyond delicious, all egg options were amazing, grits is solid and the fruit and berries were beautiful and fresh. They do have some gluten-free options, including gf bagels and toast, which was a big plus for us. Highly recommend, esp if you snag a seat outside in nice weather or inside by the window if its raining. This was an unexpected huge hit with the whole family.
(5)Angie K.
On my way to Papillote, I saw a line around the corner, and I had to stop by. The Ellis Square location and the sheer convenience of variety makes Goose Feather's a popular destination for folks. We tried the Shrimp and Grits, Bird's Nest (poached eggs in grits with cheese and salsa), and a Turkey and Cheese Croissant. Nothing was that great, honestly, but it wasn't that bad either. I advise you to avoid the stuffed croissants as they are premade and oily. The coffee wasn't anything special. If you're a tourist (as I was), this place is good to visit if you are looking for reasonably priced items that are good for on-the-go.
(3)Jen E.
This is a great breakfast place. The food is great service is good. It's very busy for obvious reasons. It could use a little bit of organization, but overall great experience!
(5)Christina K.
Came here for breakfast at the tip of fellow Yelper! Karley :) Parking was easy since it was a Monday and not yet lunch time. SO and I decided on a round of OJ's, a bowl of grits, ham, a sausage egg and cheese croissant and I had the eggs benedict. O...M...G... those eggs benedict were amazing! It is so hard to find a place that can do poached eggs right! The croissant was huge! The portions were very generous (seriously, you can share the bowl of grits between 2 people!). The service was so nice and friendly, we never felt like we were being rushed out. It was such a nice way to start our day at the beach. the prices were great too, you can share a plate or have one all to yourself and your wallet would barely notice. I can't wait to go back.
(4)Adrian L.
Ordered a tomato,basil, onion and avocado quiche. It was amazing and low priced for the quality. The cappuccino that I ordered was okay. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and the employees were exceptionally nice and attentive. If I pass by Savannah I will be visiting again.
(4)Danny A.
The place was crowded and the line was kind of long, but the food was good. We had the spinach & feta quiche which was good, and the Turkey Reuben. The Reuben was good, it had a different style which was creative, but it had a bit too much oil. It wasn't too bad just a bit. The bread also had too many little herbs that got stuck to my fingers. The Eggetarian Sandwich was too squishy and the flavor was a bit bland, it just tasted like pesto.
(3)Stella M.
Great coffee (Georgia pecan coffee) and quick breakfast options. Prices are similar to Einstein's or your typical bagel shop. Great deals if you like small orders like me, I ordered two poached eggs and it came with toast and preserves- less than $4. Right by a lot of great sights downtown too. I highly recommend it for a quick and not so heavy bite to eat. You can save money and room for a heavier meal later ;)
(4)Ashleigh L.
I'm giving this place 4 stars because my boyfriend loved it. On my own, I'd give it 3 stars. I had the Eggetarian with cheese grits which were all fine, but nothing to write home about. The cheese on the grits was not melted and I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to get any flavor out of the grits. The Eggetarian was fine, but a little bland. My boyfriend had the Eggs Benedict, which he raved about. He also got the oven roasted potatoes on the side, and they were phenomenal. By far the best thing I ate while there. I'd probably go back, but more to please my boyfriend and get a decent meal at a cheap price. Also, don't let the line discourage you if you do choose to go - it goes quickly and there's a surprising amount of seating inside.
(4)Tori N.
The decaf coffee is SO good here! But don't ask for iced coffee, it's way watered down. You get free refills, which is always a plus. Service was very friendly and welcoming. Since we were here during the summer, there wasn't a long line. Giving a lower rating for a few reasons: 1) I couldn't remember which place this was. If it was super memorable, I'd be able to write a review now. My memory doesn't suck that much lol. 2) The bread pudding was a huge disappointment. Granted, we took it to go, since it was too early to have bread pudding. Still, it was not very palatable. I can eat bread pudding that's hot or cold, I'm not picky. This just wasn't that appetizing. 3) Eggs were ok, but nothing special. The roasted potatoes were good, but not very memorable either. Cute concept, cute place, super nice staff. But the food I received was just ok. Prices were fair, though!
(3)Todd M.
my party ordered the shrimp and grits, breakfast burrito and the birds nest. They were all good bit just kinda plain in my estimation. its old peoples food for sure.
(3)Emily B.
Service was friendly! I got a chai tea latte and egg bagel sandwich and it was delicious. Bring your own hot sauce though because they don't have any here! Overall great experience for breakfast in Savannah!
(4)Doris C.
Not only is the food quite delicious, the service is extremely friendly and efficient. When traveling, we usually don't repeat visiting the same restaurant, but for breakfast we have returned everyday.
(5)Dawn T.
Oh, the atmosphere is wonderful, relaxing, sunny, and warm. The people here are great, very welcoming! The food Is delicious. I had the "birds nest", a wonderful bowl of perfectly cooked grits, poached eggs with homemade salsa and the most delectable white cheddar cheese. I was going to take a picture but I ate it up! You will not go wrong coming here!!!!
(5)Douglas W.
I've been a couple times now. The coffee is average to not very good. They didn't know what Swiss water processing was. I tried a croissant and it was doughy and greasy and just plain awful. It's a nice looking place and everyone there is completely invested in your experience but I don't think there is anyone there that knows a great deal about food. The taste level is really low. It's convenient to downtown and there aren't a lot of choices so we ended up there again and now I remember why I forgot it in the first place.
(2)Gigi C.
Do I wanna go again? No thank you. Long line, unusual buns that they call a croissant. even the espresso was just barely palatable... We left, threw our food away and went somewhere else.
(1)Alex P.
Best croissant I have ever had. I had the eggiterrian and I'm not a big fan of poached eggs but it was amazing. Come early bc things do sell out. They are great with Pets too.
(5)Brandon B.
Best breakfast place in Savannah. I'm not a foodie by any stretch (I eat to live, not live to eat), but this place's food is something special. They make some of the best egg croissants I've ever had. I've been there about 6 times now and every time it's been great. I was there 3 days ago and had a delicious egg croissant with spinach and it couldn't have been any better. Great staff, beautiful interior, and outdoor tables as well. Located very close to the shops and restaurants of Market Square, Goose Feathers is also in walking distance to a lot of other nice areas. Being in the busier part of town though, parking is a little harder to come by (although parking in Savannah really is cheap when you find it), but that shouldn't deter you much. If you want a more local residential breakfast experience you might try Clary's. Their food is a little bit of a step down, but the place is wonderful and worth a stop for sure at some point. Bottom line, Goose Feathers is easily the place I recommend to folks looking for a great casual breakfast without any fuss. If you're staying along Bay or River street, definitely this is the place. But even if you're a little further away, it's worth the trip.
(5)Nicole W.
This place was worth the wait in line! The eggs benedict were perfect! the hollandaise sauce was creamy, the ham was salty and thinly sliced so it was overpowering. I added 2 slices of tomato for some color and all of that in between a buttery flakey croissant. Mmmm brunch doesnt get better than that. It was a decento protion but I had a cup of fresh fruit and it was a perfect meal. The coffee was ok, but I went for the food not the coffee.
(5)Patty W.
Is there a wait? Most likely yes. Is it worth it? Yes! Even though the line looks like it will take forever, it doesn't. The staff moves at a fast pace and is pretty quick about getting the orders out. Plus, you can browse through the menu and decide on what you want before ordering. There is also an option of ordering online or calling ahead for the dreadful waiters. We were given 2 huge croissant sandwiches stuffed with eggs, sausage, and cheese. They were buttery good. The bread pudding has its originality. It had a nice sweet texture to it. I am going to try the hot chocolate if I make an appearance again. Probably a couple more pastries too ;)
(4)Annie L.
The carribean clam chowder was delicious. It was perfectly creamy and loaded with veggies. The bread served with the soup was perfect, but I wished they gave a bigger helping of bread because I ran out pretty quickly! I also tried their club sandwich. I was pleasantly surprised with lean pieces of bacon (is that possible?) that was still crispy and delicious. The sandwich was pretty large. I also ordered the baked sweet potato, which had a "holiday" feel to it. 1 club sandwich + 1 cup of soup + 1 baked sweet potato = $12. Don't be scared by the line that may be out the door...the line moves very quickly. They also hand out menus when you are waiting in line. Very efficient and quick service!
(5)Jeff L.
Stopped for lunch at 12:30 and waited in line out to sidewalk 10 minutes. Counter staff was efficient, courteous and helpful. Chicken curry soup very tasty but lacked chicken. Bread fresh. Italian panini sandwich quite nice. Coffee good and served in a lovely GF mug. Con: No wireless connectivity...c'mon. ..it is 2015!!!
(4)Jade C.
Goose Feathers was an impulse stop as we had just left our tour trolley and was in need of immediate roughage. My bf had the map and continued to pick eateries which requires a 4 or 5 block hike and so I simply Yelped the closet establishment and this was it. It was typical fast cafe lunch food, which I have an appreciation for - beats greasy fast food. I had a potato soup and quiche, soup was lovely, quiche was fairly bland but edible. Bf had a sandwich (I don't remember what was in it, but he wasn't overly enthused by it), and a vegetable and ham soup, which was the most delicious thing of everything we ordered. I saw a lot of students using this place and appreciated how local it was from the main downtown area. Probably would go back there it was I in Savannah because there are just so many options to eat out, but this place is ok for eating on the run.
(3)Lillian E.
I was there on a Sunday and the line was out the door! We waited for about 20 minutes and it was definitely worth the wait. I got the eggs Benedict (which they serve "savannah style" on a croissant) and my boyfriend had the birds nest. They were both FANTASTIC. We shared a cinnamon bun as well, so at the end we were stuffed but content. Great food and great atmosphere. If there's a line, wait in it---it's well worth it!
(5)Emery E.
I can assure you that with a last name like Eaton, I am not only an expert in dinner, but breakfast also, so trust me when I recommend a restaurant. Goose feathers gets a great recommendation from this food lover! We stopped in for breakfast, 4 adults and two children. The line was a little long, but that's expected in a restaurant that is great. The fresh baked pastries were spot on, and were served immediately at the counter. Since I had two trays to bring to my table the cashier asked if I need help. Very nice! The breakfast burrito I ordered was delightful! Eggs, turkey sausage, and spinach, with a great house made salsa over top. You can build your own burrito. Te value was exceptional to feed 6 people. The only negative is this: get all you may need off the bat, because if you think you may want something else, (my son wanted some sliced fresh fruit after we already ordered) you will need to wait in the long line again.
(4)Ama L.
Service was quick friendly and efficient The croissant with egg, cheese and bacon was delicious . The fresh orange juice was wonderful . The price was great . Located in the heart of downtown Savannah .
(5)Thom S.
As you talk up the street you first notice a line extending out the doors. It is normal but your wait won't be long while you look at all the delicious items on their menu. The bread pudding is by far the best in the world. My wife have the black bean burrito, it was so fresh and flavorful!
(5)Karen T.
We ate here a few times for breakfast, they were very friendly and the location was pretty good. I would give them 3.5 stars if I could. Food was good, not great, the special coffee was good but the regular was just so-so. Only thing I didn't get is that they wanted to take your tray the second your food was delivered. You were welcome to eat and drink your coffee, they weren't rushing you out, but for whatever reason they wanted the trays the second we were done with them, just kind of strange. If you're by the square and looking for a breakfast spot, I would certainly give them a shot. It was also nice that they had some tables out front where you could sit if you wanted to people watch/watch the square.
(3)Joel S.
Great food, quick service with what appeared to be a long wait by the line and very clean!!!!
(5)Jessica S.
Fast, quality food. The seating outside is covered, so dining in or out is good in most any weather. I had a basic bacon/egg/cheese breakfast sandwich in a croissant and it was great. My boyfriend ordered the birds nest and the grits were pretty runny for our liking. Great service.
(4)Alexandra D.
Do you have any idea how amazing it feels to go into a restaurant and see words like "Gluten-free" and "organic" on a restaurant menu? As a health food nut, there is nothing I loathe more than showing up somewhere with maybe one vegetarian option, something that came out of a freezer bag, et cetera. At Goose Feathers, the menu is absolutely unbelievably good. Everything come made-to-order and is fresh and homemade. They have something for everybody. The service is exceptional, as well. Our group of six was doted on by the staff, which is highly unusual in a casual dining atmosphere. We will definitely be back again and again!
(5)Gina H.
Simple cafe with great food and great coffee. We got the eggs Benedict Savannah Style. It was simple but really yummy, especially the home made croissant it was on. I also bought the carrot, walnut breakfast bread with the intent to just try it and ended up eating the entire thing!!!
(4)Jamie B.
Stopped by this popular spot for brunch. The line gets long but don't be deterred as it moves fast. They have a small troop of busboys that keep the tables clean. You can really make your own meal here. I had an apple cinnamon oatmeal, bagel, oj, and coffee. Order at the counter and they deliver. It's a comfortable, casual place. Staff is friendly for the most part. Nobody really checked in to see if I was happy but maybe that's just not their thing. House newspapers are available too.
(5)Julie P.
Brunch was dreamy~ my family of 7 had 3 waffles (crispy and covered with strawberries and a generous heap of whipped cream), Eggs Benedict (incredible), Salmon Quiche (a little small but delectable), coffee (could be stronger), and my new favorite Eggetarian. Casual atmosphere, great, friendly service. Can't wait to go back !
(5)Naomi K.
Busy morning venue with cute patio tables for street watching. Located in the heart of downtown, a block away from the plaza, walking distance to the waterfront. Very efficient service, line moves quickly just grab a menu when you come in and know what you want by the time you get to the counter. They have such a variety to choose from it was hard to narrow it down. The croissant breakfast sandwich was good but their Yaourt Bio Au Miel (yogurt with honey), Belgium waffles, eggs Benedict, whoopie pies, quiches looks just as inciting. Just need to go back and try them out!
(4)Sam M.
Walking up to the cafe and seeing a line out the door and down the block was equally as exciting and disappointing. The line was about 10 minutes long and at the end we placed our order. We had the breakfast burrito which was good, but a little bit too wet and doughy. The egg croissant was good as well, but neither dish was exceptional. Good, not great. The highlight was the iced peanut butter mocha, which was absolutely awesome.
(4)Alexandra P.
I had the eggs Benedict - Savannah style, which comes with ham and on a croissant, it was good, satisfying. But the four stars comes in because the frozen mocha is the best I ever had and there wasn't a huge line or wait like most brunch places in the area.
(4)Terri G.
Enjoyed the Eggetarian with Ham ~ DELICIOUS!!! Just a few blocks off Bay St./City Market. In or outdoor seating with a wide variety of breakfast choices. Be open to the recommendation of the restaurant, they didn't steer us wrong.
(4)Pat M.
We were in Savannah only two nights, we ate breakfast here twice!!! Yes it's THAT GOOD! Besides the perfectly cooked breakfast, they are very friendly and accommodated my grandsons very serious gluten intolerance to the point of slicing his gluten free bagel with a special knife that was not used on regular bagels. There is something for everyone here...the grits were good, the Rosemary potatoes amazing, crispy bacon and poached eggs perfect! House made croissants were delicious, sweet and savory! There was a line out the door both times BUT do NOT leave, the line goes so fast...they have this cafe down to a science, they get you in, feed you awesome food and you get you out quickly so if you only have an hour for lunch no problem! We'll be back!
(5)Stephanie B.
Exactly what we were looking for after a cold morning walking around. The food provided great flavors with fresh ingredients. The sweet potato was one of the best parts of the day. Very friendly staff and a quick moving line.
(5)Jennie L.
such an adorable place! there was a bit of a line (out the door) but as promised, it did move very quickly! as advertised, the bread pudding is delicious! had a simple croissant breakfast sandwich, and it was very tasty! hubs had bagel and lox and he enjoyed it! he said not the best he's ever had, but it was good! exactly what we wanted in a charming little downtown savannah breakfast! very friendly staff, great prices!
(4)Michael Angelo R.
Get there early. Line out the door. Food fresh and amazing! Exceptional service! Don't miss out! Line moves quick.
(5)Jennifer O.
Yum! Don't be intimidated by the line - it was really long when we arrived but only took about 10 minutes to get through. Huge menu with lots of tasty choices, and really good food! Gluten-free bread is available, even though it's not listed on the menu. I loved my breakfast of quiche, grits (plain but good), and pecan pie (ain't no shame). The highlight was the pecan pie ... probably one of the best slices I've ever had.
(5)Tracy W.
Cute cafe with good food. You place your order and pay at the counter. Then seat yourself and they bring you your meal. Very open airy clean seating area...really nice staff. Lots of fresh bakery items available - bagels, donuts, croissant variations, pies and cakes. Had the eggs benedict which is served Savannah style which means its served on a fresh buttery croissant....OMG! Yeah I can get wit this :)...the featured coffee was peppermint mocha...yum...and the waffle...yum again. This is my new fav spot. I can not wait to work my way thru their menu :D
(4)Katie R.
Goose feathers is really good! It's a unique spot in Savannah and isn't totally sit-down and you can get things to go. Everything I've had there has been good, and the cheese grits are top notch. Definitely recommend it for a quicker breakfast spot!
(4)Colleen B.
Fabulous food, service and prices. We loved our selection: quiche, sweet potatoes, bacon, fresh fruit, fresh lemonade, pecan pie and bread pudding.
(5)Tammy F.
Good breakfast sandwiches, lunch sandwiches. Fresh, no frozen stuff. Good food, good friendly service and amazing coffee and pastries.
(5)Ken G.
I thought this place was okay... I tried their Breakfast Croissant Sandwich, which was pretty good. Their Stuffed Croissant was also okay. Both croissant sandwiches were buttery and definitely fill you up in the morning. People seemed to really like the Bread Pudding, but I just found this to be alright. Overall, I wasn't terribly impressed with this spot. I think it's a decent spot to visit if you're in the area or if you want something quick and casual. The service was very nice and attentive, even though you do order at the counter.
(3)Jessica C.
Lines, lines, lines... there's a reason for it. They do their best though... menus given out so you can hit the order station prepared, and then you move on to a different station to pay... pretty efficient system but they still don't have enough tables to handle the throughput of customers! We were visiting from out of town and saw the place while wandering the night before. Compared to the offerings at our hotel, the "Andaz," this place was a dream come true and by comparison cheap as dirt for Heavenly bites. Both my partner and I ordered variations on Eggs Benedict on a croissant an "Eggetarian" and a straight Eggs Benedict. Mine (the Eggetarian) was absolutely perfect and cooked just right, eggs nice and runniy poached... my partner's not so much. Gordon Ramsey would have gone ape! "It's the customer's privilege to break their egg! " Hers, alas, were done hard... overcooked.. but STIll too yummy to bother sending back Would definitely recommend and do again and again. Just slather me in Hollandaise and call me Momma!
(4)Erica T.
Delicious, quick and efficient! What more could you want in a breakfast place. I had the daily special, a Forsyth, it was a delicious egg with cheese, onions and peppers on a croissant. It was perfect! My husband enjoyed the sandwich he ordered as well. Very good coffee. Warm and inviting atmosphere.
(4)Carolina M.
This place is to die for. I went to visit Savannah for the second time and arrived there just in time for breakfast. I definitely recommend the Birds Nest. I'm not a fan of grits at all but man oh man do they make the best grits with a generous amount of cheese. I also recommend the breakfast panini and peach mini whoopie. The atmosphere is very cozy as well.
(5)P K.
Great spot to get breakfast. Line of people to get in but moves fast. Location right off Ellis Square is perfect. Lovely space with tables outside. Service was excellent and everyone was so nice.
(4)Kalvin P.
Stopped here during a visit from New Orleans. There is good reason that the locals eat here. The food is great, and inexpensive. My buddy ordered the Eggetarian and I ordered the Birds Nest and Belgian waffle with syrup and strawberries. The waffles were golden brown with a nice crispness to the outside, the strawberries were fresh. My poached eggs were perfect. The grits were light and not oversalted, which really let the flavor of the cheese come through. My friend's Eggtarian was amazingly good. I would definitely recommend this eatery. I am surprised at how affordable the prices were given the quality of the food. I wish they would open up a location in New Orleans. I would be a frequent patron.
(5)Blake H.
Our FAVorite breakfast place! Fantastic breakfast sandwich with pesto, cinnamon buns and sticky buns (must arrive early to snag one of those), grits, etc. I also love to grab a cup of hot cocoa to walk around with post breakfast. Wait can be long, but worth the wait!
(4)Rebecca S.
On our roadtrip through the South I was insistent we stop in Savannah. With only one hour to spend, our condensed tour of this quaint little town led us to Goose Feathers, where we figured we could get a quick lunch and dine on the sidewalk. After ordering at the counter, we were promptly brought a ham sandwich for the bf and a spinach salad, add salmon, for me. Both our meals were pretty straight forward and tasty. My salad ($5) plus salmon ($3) was quite the steal, given that it was a good portion of salmon. We both agreed that $16 for lunch for two people, plus great service, and a pretty sidewalk setting made for a nice meal. I'd recommend Goose Feathers to anyone looking for a quick bite in Savannah.
(4)Peter L.
Great fresh sandwiches. Belgium waffles are perfect and decadent. Staring at the fresh baked goods and saying "ooo... should I? Yes!
(4)Kim W.
Wonderful restaurant. My sister and I enjoyed our first visit so much, we came back the next day. Don't worry about the line out the door. The line moves fast and the staff are very good at clearing tables and ensuring there is a seat for you after you order your food. The apple and ham croissants are fabulous. The coffee, mocha, and cappuccino are served hot and tasted very good. We also had the oatmeal, egg croissant sandwich with ham/spinach and the club sandwich. All very delicious. The service is fantastic and the staff attentive.
(5)Samantha P.
great place to grab a quick bite to eat. the pastries all looked and smelled fantastic. I chose the breakfast burrito special which was great! it was a busy spot with a long line but the staff was quick to turn around tables. The place was very clean, staff was very friendly, food was great. highly recommended!
(4)Jessica A.
Amazing bakery with the best food. I have never been disappointed with anything there. I actually stop in Savannah during road trips to eat there. Just had the most delicious coconut cake of my life when I stopped in last week.
(5)Alicja S.
Great vibe, very nice people, it's a great place if you're in a hurry. Food is really great - we took 2 paninis.
(5)Liz P.
Really great breakfast menu and was packed, so others were also enjoying the food. I got the oatmeal with walnuts and apples and was delicious and the man got the egg and sausage croissant. Both of us really enjoyed it!!! I love my coffee so had to order a large Mocha, however it was TERRIBLE, didn't finish it (and I'm usually a two cup kind of person), so don't recommend the Mocha, but everything else was spot on!

This is a tasty affordable place to have breakfast or lunch. The place can be very packed. I had a egg, cheese and bacon croissant. It was good, but not out of this world. It's a nice place to go if you want an inexpensive bit in Savannah's historic district. I didn't have to wait in a crazy line, but if I did I would have been a little bewildered as what the wait was for. What I had was good but not out of this world.

I'm going to give them three stars. The customer service was wonderful and friendly. But my sandwich was sad and disappointing. It felt like it was without substance. I don't remember what it was called, but has sprouts avocado and spinach. Basically I felt like it was a tremendous amount of effort to eat...but I was going to starve because it took more energy to eat than I would get it from it.

Very busy spot! Just stopped in to really get a quick pick me up morning beverage and use the restroom. We decided to grab a bite and sit down. I got the home made hot chocolate-which wasn't very chocolaty. I was disappointed. Grabbed a bagel. that had a touch of cinnamon to it. The pastries looked great. But sorry Goose-Starbucks has you beat on the hot chocolate. I was trying to put cream cheese on my bagel when the busser just wanted to take my tray. Maybe I was sensitive because I was tired and road weary from travel...but jeez let me get my plate off the tray. Must be a good spot because it was busy. I could pass on this though. Sorry.

Stopped here for a couple sandwiches and a slice of pie. Tried the Barnard club which had perfectly crispy bacon and fresh veggies. Got it on sourdough only complaint was it was a little heavy on mustard even though we ordered it light. Also had the Telfair on sourdough-no complaints there very refreshing. The pecan pie topped it off and I would recommend saving for a sweet their dessert display had several seasonal offerings. Wish the sandwiches came with a side but we still got filled up. Will definitely stop in next time we're in town.
(4)Leigh N.
OK, the first thing you should know is that this place makes their own croissants. That's right... buttery bread goodness from scratch. I highly recommend the Eggetarian and the bread pudding. Pretty good coffee too! Everything was reasonably priced. This is the place I'd want to come back to for breakfast in Savannah. This place is popular so there may be a line, but it moves fairly quickly as you order at the counter.
(5)Brian C.
Crowded, line out front; however, the line moved quickly - very efficient place. Ordered Organic yogurt with honey and egg and spinach croissant - the spinach was not fresh spinach, but the frozen kind with onions. Not a fan of this type of spinach, but it was still pretty yummy. Croissant was really tasty.
(3)Pdter M.
Don't know why I am writing this. Goose Feathers is the place to go. Food is excellent, the line is out the door and around the block. A shining star on the Savannah culinary landscape. If in Savannah or close by you must stop and enjoy.
(5)Kevin C.
This restaurant was awesome! Very close to hotel row on Bay St. Friendly order takers, interacted with my baby, seemed genuinely excited to serve. Food was excellent, had the eggel bagel sandwich and cheese grits. Quick service, clean restaurant, hard to beat!
(5)rebecca l.
Stopped here for a quick bite upon our arrival in Savannah. Very friendly, nice iced tea. I had the special (a turkey sandwich with craisins, cheese & apple slices on a baguette). Hubby had the "Club Sandwich" which was also served on a baguette. The most stand out thing about the food here was how fresh the bread was and how friendly the staff was. We would recommend Goosefeathers to anyone looking to grab a quick bite to eat. We would go back!
(4)Jodie K.
Absolutely amazing waffle adulterated by corn syrup! Not sure why it comes up as an organic restaurant on Yelp if you can't get real syrup. The scrambled eggs remind me of hotel buffet eggs, I guess that's alright if you're into that sort of thing. Otherwise great place I have to remember is for the croissants.
(3)Krystin S.
Food was yummy! Service was quick! The bust boys were on it!!! Great place to eat! I'd recommend too everyone!!!
(5)Nicole R.
A breakfast must in Savannah. Lines moves fast. Homemade croissants melt in your mouth. Quiche Lorraine was delicious. Butter rum mocha coffee was perfect. Great location next to the market place and close to everything.
(5)Erich F.
The wife loves breakfast so we made the trek from the Mansion on Forsyth. We were wondering around when we remembered the line out the door the day before. We walked up and straight on in...no line! I got a breakfast bagel sandwich with the rosemary potatoes. They were both really good and the sandwich was so good. I couldn't eat all the bagel, but ate the egg and sausage out of it. The bagel was fresh and soft, just too much bread for me. Wife got banana nut waffle and said it was delicious. We were both happy and will return again.
(4)Brontë B.
Fantastic! The employees were excellent and really nice/helpful. Some of the best service ever, even though it was really busy. The only problem I found was the item (a cream croissant) I ordered wasn't what I had anticipated. It was good, just not what I thought I ordered.
(5)Jennifer M.
Five foodies, ages ranging 9-42 give this FIVE STARS. Eggs, croissants, ham, bacon, spinach, hot chocolate, Belgium waffles with cream- all superb!!
(5)Byrd B.
I had read up on breakfast and lunch in Savannah and spotted Goose Feathers right off. It did not disappoint. We had lunch. The chicken bacon mushroom melt with havarti was delicious. My spouse had the salmon quiche, which she loved. Corn chowder was creamy and hearty. Even the pasta salad was light and allowed the pasta taste to come through. I was not so impressed with the bread pudding, which came highly recommended. Too much nutmeg for my taste but the cup of whipped cream that accompanied it more than made up for it! The chocolate bear claw(ette- only $1.25) was superb. It is croissant flaky dough with a sliver of chocolate in the center. The ganache on top was truly icing on the cake. I loved it. Oh, the counter service was a big plus for us-- fast, VERY friendly, Southern hospitality, no tip.
(5)Andrea L.
Southern hospitality at its best. Food was amazing as well. Eggs Benedict on croissant two thumbs up!
(5)Steve T.
We were in Savannah for 4 days and we ate breakfast here twice. The egg and bacon on croissant was the bomb! The line to order was out the door but the line moves fast. The staff were super nice. I had red potatoes to go with my sandwich and I've had better, but they were still ok. I would recommend a visit if you're in Savannah.
(4)Loni N.
Went here for lunch and the lunch food was actually very good. The disappointment was with the cupcakes. YUCK! The were like muffins with icing. Super dense not moist at all.
(3)S R.
I was taken here by a local and found it to be a cute place with pretty good breakfast, I ordered the belgian waffle with fruit and bacon. I also had a croissant donut which was sinful. The others had the same and one had scrambled eggs. We all did coffee or juice. I will say it seemed a little pricey, the bill for 3 of us was $51. There was a line formed when we got there but it moved quickly.
(3)David B.
Went to Goose Feathers Cafe for breakfast on a visit to a Savannah after seeing it on a Yelp. Arrived around 9:00 am on a Tuesday. We thought it was a little overpriced for food you had to wait in line to order, which at times was all the way out the door. We ordered the holiday special drink, a peppermint mocha, and it was super expensive but good. Food wise, we ordered a bread pudding, sticky bun, and two of the Eggs Benedict-Savannah style. The desserts were delicious! The eggs benedicts were ok....loved them on a croissant, but we felt that the ham layered on top of the croissant was too close to processed lunch meat...and for being so expensive, we were a little disappointed. Don't forget to grab your silverware while in line, because trying to get back to that area is difficult with all the people waiting in line.
(4)Ryan C.
Came in one morning for breakfast while visiting savannah a few weeks ago. Although there was a line out the door, the service was fast and the food was very good. Don't let the line fool you.
(4)Chelsey K.
A solid amazing 4.5 stars! My partner had the Ogelthorpe and I had the Catawba. We couldn't resist a slice of homemade quiche and a mug of coffee as well. Fresh ingredients made for great sandwiches and the service was good. Entire staff was courteous and welcoming. Glad we got there before the morning rush!
(4)Kat O.
Came for breakfast with two friends while we were in Savannah for a conference. So glad we decided on Goose Feathers vs. another run-of-the-mill breakfast shop. Coffee was delicious, and the bottomless refills were much appreciated. :) I had the granola and milk with fruit and was not disappointed. Delicious! I could have eaten about 10 other things on the menu; it all looked delicious. The staff was super-friendly and upbeat on a Thursday morning. I actually think we were served by the woman who owns the place. She was SO nice, and she gave us a few suggestions of places to visit while we bummed around the cute little downtown area. It's that kind of customer service that sets Goose Feathers above the rest. Cute little location with tons of natural light. Helpful men coming around to bus tables and clean the already very clean space. I wish I had enough room to try one of their whoopie pies! Thanks for the positive experience of Savannah on my first morning there. It definitely set the tone for a great weekend. :)
(4)C P.
Wide variety of pastries and most of them are pretty tasty, but when they're not fresh you can definitely tell. The staff **behind the counter** give off a weird vibe. It seems as if they are not being genuinely friendly and they're forcing their smiles.
(3)Andrew C.
Solid cafe style breakfast. I had the croissant bacon egg and cheese sandwich with one of their coffee specials. Coffee is great, the croissandwich was amazing and the coffee cup we bought makes for a pretty good souvenir to take home from savannah.
(4)Sandy G.
When you order at a counter, you expect that the service will be lacking, however, Goose Feathers has EXCELLENT service and a low price menu!! I have been twice and the food is great! The service is exceptional and the atmosphere is pleasing.
(5)Meagan H.
Service was awesome. Food was okay, but for the same price we've had much better. I got the eggtarian & my husband got the Bernard club & we got a fruit cup and scrambled eggs for our little guy. The eggs were almost slimy and our little guy wouldn't eat them. The fruit was fresh though & our sandwiches were good just nothing special as we had expected from other reviews. They did have a big selection.
(4)Sarah K.
Great place close to our hotel. We actually ate here two consecutive mornings. For people who need their morning espresso, this is the place to go. Also had amazing quiche and waffles. Very good service.
(4)Kapil J.
Great service. Line moves fast. Good place for breakfast. Enjoyed their black bean burrito and bread pudding.
(4)Vanessa A.
Great location by Ellis Square. Their chicken ginger sandwich is out of this world. Portions are a little small, so get the full sandwich serving (as opposed to half size). Their fresh gazpacho was delicious.
(4)Holly S.
Feeling sick from the heavy, greasy, fried fare in Savannah, we were happy to find a lunch spot with a lighter cafe menu. The selection is a standard cafe menu, including basic salads, sandwiches, panini, flatbread sandwiches, croissants, desserts, and assorted coffee and tea. Nothing new or innovative, but all fresh and tasty. The woman taking the orders was very pleasant and asked if we'd like to add, swap, or omit anything from our order. Options are great. The food was fresh and good, but the iced coffee was weak and terrible, despite the additional espresso shot they suggested. Shocking for a cafe.
(4)Bryce R.
This review is from a tourist's point of view Went to Savannah on a trip, best lunch I had was here, the wait staff was friendly (except one waiter was a little creepy), the atmosphere was upbeat. The food is the most important thing though, the Salmon BLT was absolutely amazing. The Club was great, and the Spinach Chicken salad with Raspberry dressing was fantastic, would highly recommend this place.
(5)Richard C.
Had breakfast here every morning while in Savannah. Would have given it five stars if the coffee had been more robust. Did enjoy the Birds Nest though.
(4)Macey M.
Good Food! Fast service! Friendly staff who super organized! My husband and I love the eggs benedict with pesto on a croissant. Its amazing!
(5)Iris R.
Me encanta!!!!!! delicioso, excelente servicio. Hope they will be one here in Orlando. The best place to breakfast in Savannah, Ga
(5)Dana M.
Really loved this spot for breakfast. I had an amazing croissant with egg, cheese, and turkey sausage. I loved that turkey sausage was an option. It was a very generous sandwich. The croissants were fresh and perfect. I also had the rosemary potatoes - lightly seasoned - comes with sour cream and scallions on the side. The mocha coffee I had was delicious - topped with whipped cream and cocoa powder - beats any coffee I've had from Starbucks. The line was out the door but moved quickly, service was friendly and efficient.
(5)A Z.
This place is so cute and it's great breakfast food and atmosphere. The owner takes pride in his business, and everytime we go, we see him bussing tables and making conversation just like the rest of the employees. I love the heart he takes in his business. We've pretty much made it an obligation to go whenever we find ourselves passing through Savannah: The Candy Kitchen, visit River Street, and Goose Feathers. No doubt.
(5)Lisa G.
Exactly what I was looking for - really cute cafe that sells brunch all day. I had the waffle which was really good (made with butter) bacon was good and I had the maple coffee. Even better, everyone was super friendly and helpful. Sunny spot on a rainy day :) ... But they have a large awning if you want to sit outside anyway :)
(5)Dominick T.
This is a great place to go when in Savannah for breakfast. Food comes quick, and is excellent. Its just right for the tourist who gets up early.
(5)Deborah K.
Pretty good breakfast place in Savannah. Bread pudding was the best but get there early as there seems to always be a line out the door, but generally worth the wait.
(4)Bryan M.
Excellent lunch stop! I ordered The Oglethorpe: Vermont cheddar, tomatoes, fresh spinach, purple onions, red cabbage, cucumbers and sprouts on multigrain bread. I had mustard instead of mayo. Was a tasty sandwich and I enjoyed the atmosphere and staff.
(4)Alicia D.
Decent. Not great, not bad. Had two egg dishes on croissants. The seasonal Peppermint mocha coffee was quite good.
(3)Nathan J.
I know this place gets a lot of great reviews, which is why I went. I just like great food and happy to pay whatever for it if it's good. For $13 I came away with a variation on what Eggs Benedict usually is (it's served inside a croissant), a Latte, and an 8oz OJ, so not expensive. Unfortunately the coffee was terrible - incredibly weak, more like coffee flavored water, and to be honest tasted like filter coffee which I find revolting at the best of times. Eggs Benedict - mine unfortunately had a hunk of shell in it, and once that stuff gets in your teeth you just have to grin and crunch your way through it. Taste was ok but not amazing Eggs Benedict and the croissant is not the light, buttery texture it should have been. I hate giving negative reviews because this is someone's business and their livelihood after all, but I wouldn't rate this place nor go back.
(1)Nicole B.
This was the most disgusting breakfast I've had in awhile. I'm pretty sure the sausage, egg, and cheese croissant would've tasted the same if I had purchased it at a nasty gas station. I almost got sick while walking out of the restaurant. I understand that it's an express cafe, but the quality of the food should NOT be that poor. The latte was basically black gross coffee, no foam on the top. The grits were bland and a tad bit watery. I could see a worker eating something out of a box in the kitchen. If you want a delicious breakfast, steer clear from this place. Savannah has much better to offer.
(2)Sara E.
Absolutely wonderful! It was busy but there was plenty of seating and a very attentive staff. They really keep the line moving but they don't rush you out. The food was delicious and hot. I will be going back!!
(5)Randy B.
Fresh, fast and hot. Something for everyone - meaters and vegers. A little noisy and busy, and a bit too warm on the premises...owing to line out the front door. But worthwhile for the food and service. ** Breakfast served all day long**
(5)Stacey W.
Byfar the best damn waffle I've ever had. Ever. The prices are fair, and the location can't be beat! A short walk from downtown hotels, so you're able to stumble there after a long night of getting acquainted with Savannah. The line was long, but moved quickly. My favorite part was that the owner herself served us! (I know because I looked up the website.)
(4)Joel T.
This place was packed during lunch time, but our food came out very quickly. My Italian panini was tasty and they also serve breakfast options into the afternoon. This is an excellent eatery for a casual lunch when exploring Savannah.
(4)Ellie B.
This place was pretty disappointing. I ordered the eggs benedict and the croissant was good, but that Hollandaise, oof. Maybe from a packet? It really ruined the whole sandwich. My husband got a pumpkin spice latte and it came with a gigantic pile of whipped cream on top (he had no clue otherwise he would have nixed it). Once he got that off of it the coffee was really bland. The radio/music they were piping in made me want to stab my ear drums.
(2)Karen T.
This is a very popular place for breakfast. I was heading to the airport so just stopped by to pick something up and there was a long line out the door. Definitely call ahead if you want to get take-out! I got the tomato-avocado quiche and bread pudding. The quiche was very good. The fresh tomato and avocado made the quiche taste lighter and not feel as dense or heavy. The bread pudding was good but nothing that really makes it stand out.
(3)Jess P.
First of all, I got the black bean burrito and it was phenomenal. The price was fairly reasonable, but I probably wouldn't have stopped in if I wasn't on vacation. Perhaps my biggest complaint is no free refills of lemonade. While I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, my two friends who both got sandwiches were not so impressed. As we sat behind the window with various TripAdvisor and Yelp award stickers plastered on, they couldn't help but marvel how they got up there.
(3)Prince A.
I liked the feel of this spot and being in business for many years, they were running their operation like clockwork. Being an express cafe, the food is pretty top notch and with a bottomless coffee mug, my breakfast was stimulating! Love this spot, everything looks great, smells great and tastes superb. Oh, and the bread pudding?! Game over! I am coming back here again and its gonna be bread pudding for breakfast
(4)Mike W.
I can't say I've ever been as impressed with Goose Feathers as many reviewers here apparently are: honestly, I've found it decent, at best good, but not at all exceptional nor innovative in a city that has a wealth of lunch and/or breakfast options. The sandwiches and other dishes are pretty standard--reubens, bagels, foccacia bread sandwiches and the like and they're ok but, once again, rather plain and standard. I suppose if that's what you seek, you'll be pleased. Certainly they must be doing something right given the rave reviews and the fact they've been in business at least a decade or better. Their location is pretty ideal, too. For lunch though, I have to feel there are better options such as Zunzi's.
(3)Erleen G.
I've had withdraws over this mug. So much so that I finally decided to take the drive back to Savannah and now I finally have it.... What? You think I'm kidding? Ok, yes! But not entirely... I may not have driven to Savannah for it, but I didn't have to. Shortly after writing my review I was apologized to by the owners personally. Then some time later (today to be exact). I received a nice chunky package labeled fragile (how much do we love getting things in the mail that are NOT bills?). My package came from Goose Feather, my package was clearly carefully packaged and stuffed, my package included not one, not two, not three, but FOUR Goose Feathers mugs. EEEEK! I guess some might think Goose Feathers bought my 5th star. But truth be told they stole it...my heart that is. And with this gesture they far exceeded earning it. Thank you Beth and Mike. :) You guys are the sweetest! Best, A Happy Customer
(5)Claudia G.
Here with some friends for the weekend. This place is amazing! Food is excellent and the service is top notch! Don't be discouraged by the line. It moves wry quickly and the food is worth it. The staff was very kind and pleasant :)
(5)Janene H.
Goosefeathers is a great place to take a load off and people watch. We grabbed some coffees and whoopie pies and parked ourselves on an outdoor table. Being so close to Congress it makes a great people watching spot. The employees we had contact with weren't very friendly. The hazelnut coffee was yummy (with free refills) but the whoopie pies were a disappointment. We tried both the chocolate and strawberry. I must say I make better ones myself! I'm not sure if this is any indication of the rest of their food...
(3)Vivien P.
Cute cafe in the historic district of Savannah. The food was not superb but the great atmosphere makes up for it. Eggs Benedict: Best thing we ordered. The egg was poached perfectly. Belgian Waffle: Eh....was not as crispy and dense as I hoped. Bread Pudding: Had good texture but was lacking in flavor. The girl at the cashier said they would warmed it up for me but I thought it came out not warmed enough Yogurt: they could have dressed the yogurt up a little bit...or at lest give me a full serving. Service: Superb service. We were greeted with a menu as soon as we stepped in the door. Very friendly service.
(3)Taylor K.
We ordered a birthday cake from here (chocolate icing vanilla cake) and had them decorate it. It looked beautiful and tasted delicious!
(5)David P.
Order at the counter and serve by the whole staff. I ordered the "Bird's Nest" and really enjoyed it, the salsa really brought the whole dish together. The only negative is more of a pet peeve for me, they serve the coffee in a Styrofoam cup. I personally hate that. We may have to go back to try some of the pastery's.
(4)Ralph A.
I had the eggs Benedict, coffee, and grits and thought they were all pretty good. I thought it was expensive considering the location. I paid $11 dollars for the three things above. Seems like NYC prices. I do appreciate having coffee in a real mug, so kudos for that.
(3)Alison M.
Do not order the shrimp and grits here, they are not authentic. I'm no southern food connoisseur, but I do know that what we got there was not shrimp and grits. The advertised $6.50 shrimp and grits here is basically a bowl of plain grits with lukewarm, flavorless shrimp thrown on top and covered in a sauce that tastes like a mix of beef broth and Chesapeake bay seasoning. The fiance thought the sauce was just white gravy. It was bad. Two bites and we were done. This review is a warning to all those folks new to southern food so that they don't get duped. The real dish is amazing and sadly, Goose Feathers doesn't have it.
(2)Laurie E.
Made a bee-line for this place after our TASTE of SAVANNAH Tour Guide, SAM told us how great it was. Goose feathers did not disappoint! We ordered the Bird's Nest with a side of crispy bacon. Heaven! Cheesy grits with 2 poached eggs, homemade salsa, cilantro and Vermont white cheddar were to LIVE for! So good! Highly recommended!
(5)Will A.
The Eggs Benedict Savannah Style was great and very reasonably priced! I will definitely go back the next time I'm in Savannah!
(5)Charli B.
The line was super long, and there's a good reason for it; the food is worth the wait! The line moved pretty quickly and you aren't allowed to grab a table until you place your order. I ordered the stuffed croissant with turkey and swiss, husband ordered Eggatarian on a sesame bagel, and my son ordered a half portion Belgian waffle. Everything was so delicious that we didn't leave a crumb on our plate. I was secretly hoping my son wouldn't finish his waffle so I could eat the rest, but he devoured it! The service was superb! They were very friendly and attentive. A must visit spot in Savannah!
(4)Claudia Q.
A must stop for breakfast. The croissants are delicious and moderately priced. Lots of choices feta and spinach, ham and cheese and chocolate are all standouts. My kids loved the waffles topped with soft serve yogurt and a choice of syrup or honey. Plus it's quick to get in and out. Love it!!
(5)David C.
While in town for a friend's wedding we found ourselves in Savannah's historic district hunting for breakfast on a beautiful Saturday morning. We turned to Yelp and headed to the best-rated breakfast in town, Goose Feathers. It's a counter-service restaurant that then brings your food out when it's ready. I'm not typically a fan of this concept, but for Goose Feathers, it works. They are highly efficient at moving this line. It was probably 15 people deep when we arrived, and I had ordered, paid and was drinking my coffee in under 10 minutes. Our food arrived in about 10 more minutes (amazing for how busy it was) and we proceeded to munch. We sat outdoors (highly recommended) and enjoyed the people watching along with our breakfast. I had the "Eggetarian" which was two poached eggs, cheddar, pesto, tomatoes on a fresh croissant. Delicious, creamy, a little light on seasoning (personal preference), but full of flavor. My wife had their ham and cheese filled croissant. The dough was flaky, buttery and obviously fresh puff pastry, filled with city ham and melty cheese. Excellent balance. We also split a lemon poppyseed muffin that was more like a popover and was amazing. The only gripes (if any) was the coffee was utterly forgettable, tasted like diner coffee, bland, boring. They do have a multitude of specialty coffee drinks, but they all read as very sweet. (i.e. Pecan Pie Latte, etc.) Also, the place is very busy, but manageable. All in all, we would definitely return to Goose Feathers on our next trip to Savannah, but would probably skip the coffee.
(4)Lauren L.
Goose feathers is the BEST! Please come to Atlanta! All of the food was OUTSTANDING, delicious, hot and fresh. The waitstaff was very attentive even though it is not a sit down restaurant. Prices were incredibly reasonable and service moved very quickly. You simply must go if you visit Savannah!
(5)Sebastian O.
Staff was very friendly and food was great! I got a ginger chicken sandwich and my boyfriend got the bread pudding with some chocolate cherry coffee. Both of us really enjoyed our brunch.
(5)Cara L.
This was so much fun. My husband and I ordered the egg, sausage and cheese croissant and the shrimp and grits. Great brunch sharing plates!
(4)Gary R.
Express cafe it is. They are geared to get you in and fed very efficiently. AND the food is really great! The tuna nicoise is tasty on their baguettes, and the bacon egg croissant is A+.
(5)Amy H.
Goose Feathers was exactly what I was looking for - a fast breakfast that wasn't fast food. My favorite item was the Eggitarian, two poached eggs with pesto, tomato, cheddar, and hollandaise on a croissant. It was oh-so delicious and kept me full until dinner time. Also, their pumpkin spice latte is the best that I've ever had. Waaaay better than Starbucks.
(4)Jason W.
Breakfast panini was awesome. Kinda busy for a Monday morning. I guess that is how you can tell somewhere is popular. I will definitely be back the next time I am in the area.
(5)E T.
Really delicious food prepared quickly. I would have given Goosefeathers cafe four stars, however, management reminded me of the soup nazi.
(3)Yane Y.
Really, 3.5 stars. Like others stated, this place is quaint. I liked the ambiance. They had lines the whole time I was there. We went this morning on a Thursday morning at 8:45 am. The line was to the door when we got there an stayed that way until we left at 9:45. We were there a bit longer than most of their customers... So I ordered their scrambled eggs with melted cheddar on croissant with ham for $5.55. Really, it was 4.55 plus a $1 for the meat (ham, sausage, or spinach... Possibly something else). They were pretty skimpy on the ham. The sandwich was huge because of the eggs but the ham was thinly sliced deli meat and only a couple pieces... Not evenly spread out. i Was a little disappointed that there was not enough ham. Bread pudding - the bread pudding was quite good. They had a sign that said you should try their famous bread pudding. It was delicious. $3.99 for a bowl. Well worth it. Warm and tasted fresh. Belgian waffle - I didn't order this but my mom and aunt loved it. The one bite I had, was crispy and good. A little on the expensive side for a waffle but ... What do you do? I would go back again. I guess it's not every day you're out at a spot like this... At least me from burby Atlanta. :)
(3)Sun B.
Bread pudding is amazing, very filling. Also tried my husbands Egg Benedict and the flavors all went well together . It was prepared on a croissant . He said it was the best he said he's ever had.
(5)noam m.
disappointing. we were visiting Savannah for thanksgiving for the first time, and were looking for a nice place to start our morning with. Came here after reading the reviews. At best - nothing to report, the waffles and veggie sandwich were so so. Hot chocolate resembled nothing of chocolate. Little fruit salad with waffle was decent. The only 3 good things: 1. Location. 2. setting and ambiance 3. Staff was friendly. Other then that, not worth what we paid for. Sorry guys :(
(2)Justin F.
This place was super busy. It's a pretty standard breakfast joint with standard prices and standard food. I was neither impressed nor disappointed. Caveat: I didn't get any of the pastries or desserts that they're apparently more famous for.
(3)Alan A.
My fiance' and I went here for breakfast on a Sunday morning a little before 9am. We were able to walk right up to the counter and order. The food was great. I got an egg, cheddar and sausage on a bagel and a blueberry muffin. Both were fresh, warm and delicious. My fiance' got a bagel with cream cheese, lox, and capers and a chocolate croissant both of which were also fantastic. When we left there was a line almost out the door and there was still a good crowd when we walked by later that afternoon. Highly recommend checking it out. Good people and good food.
(5)Amy E.
Husband and I stopped in here for a quick lunch while we were waiting for AAA. (Ah, the myriad joys of owning an old car...) It was quick, but that was pretty much its only virtue. My better half was reminded of an airport food court; I lean more towards a hospital cafeteria. Either way, these are not places you would normally seek out. And neither is Goose Feathers. Firstly, the atmosphere. It's right by City Market, so it's loaded with tourists. They had probably 20 people on staff between the front and back of house on a Sunday afternoon, and everyone was tripping over each other. I was shoved or swept out of the way by two bussers in 5 minutes after we ordered. The counter staff was supremely unfriendly--I've gotten better service at Burger King. Our cashier told my husband that he was taking too long, and then proceeded to skip us. Seriously? Of course, the guy she moved on to was ordering for like 6 people. Okay, I'm going to have a "this is why everyone hates gluten-free people; they complain about everything" moment. Apparently Goose Feathers has gluten-free bread for sandwiches. You wouldn't know it but for a teeny sign by the register. Consequently, I'd already decided to get a side of curried rice salad by the time I saw it, and knew we were going to get passed over in line (again) if I changed my mind. Annoying. Also, I wanted to ask if the tomato bisque were gluten-free, but decided against it because I knew the staff a) didn't know what was in their food, and b) would tell me what they thought I wanted to hear. Lovely. Finally, they had an oatmeal cookie bar that was labeled gluten-free. I KNOW they are not using certified gluten-free oats in this place, which means that bar is NOT gluten-free. It's seriously frustrating when businesses make a half-a**ed effort to have gluten-free items to make a buck, but are careless to the point of deception. When we finally got our food, it was just okay. My husband's croissant sandwich looked like something you could pick up at Parker's, and my rice salad was edible but bland. We booked it out of there and will not be going back.

Horribly mistreated by a staff member. Food was adequate but nothing great. Of course, it may have been tarnished by how upset we were by the rude treatment we had received. In any case, no food is worth being subjected to that kind of abuse. Yes, abuse. I am not throwing that word around lightly...it truly was abusive. The owner did little to rectify the situation. With so many fabulous restaurants in Savannah, we will cross this one off the list. Will NOT be returning to Goosefeathers again!

I loved the location since it is only two doors down from Ellis square. Also, the croissants were really good. The guys out front (busboys) were super nice, the girls taking the orders, not so much. Maybe they are stressed, but they have an attittude and the coffee is not that great. I think management needs to pay closer attention and sort out the obvious.
(3)Laura M.
The restaurant is a small cozy little cafe that had really good quiche and whoppie pies. I loved it! Georgia peach whoopie pies are my favorite and is only during peach season around May.
(5)Nicole W.
Cheap, convenient, home-made, delicious! Within walkin distance of Ellis and Telfair Squares (we stayed at Avia Hotel; also close to that). Great breakfast spot~ line may be long, but moves super quickly. The owner is usually onsite and cleaning up dishes with the busboys (very down to earth kind of place). I enjoyed the spinach and feta quiche slice ($4) w coffee. Please visit, next time I want to try the bread pudding.
(4)Bill T.
Cute cafe. Long line but it moved fast. The staff was very friendly. We enjoyed a nice breakfast - poached eggs, artisan multi grain bread, fruit. Great coffee! Definitely would go back!
(5)Tom C.
Yes. Go here for breakfast. Very limited menu, but good. The bagels are honest to god real bagels. Something you generally can't find in the South. Eggs are good. They're friendly. It's a small place, but the tables turn over quickly, and the line for food moves. It's not a hang out and eat a long brunch place, but it's perfect if you're in town and looking for a solid little breakfast while walking around the area.
(4)Bob S.
Lack of dining space and frenetic pace diminish the good food vibe. The folks working the counter put up a good front, but the never ending lines are always present. Great croissants, good coffee, solid value in the food offerings, but don't expect much more than a quick gut-fill atmosphere as the employees rush about clearing way for the waiting hordes. It's ironic that this place is a bit of a victim of it's own Yelp popularity.
(3)James A.
Went to Goose Feathers today, I'm so glad we did. I had a egg, cheese, and bacon on a bagel. The bagel was fantastic so fresh! My wife had a chocolate croissant, which was to die for, coffee was great as well. By the time we were done the line was out the door. Highly recommend when in Savannah.
(5)Evan S.
Had the Eggs Benedict - Savannah Style... delicious and well worth the raving comments. Staff was great. One of the greeters ran to the back to get me a glass of water since I was drenched in sweat when I walked in. This is a nice refreshing option if you get tired of having really heavy meals.
(5)Shane H.
This is one of the few places that qualifies for: cheap, fast and good It's located in the center of everything. This is a great spot to start the day with a simple, yet delicious breakfast and go on with your travels here in savannah. The service was pretty good. But I get how they could be not quiet there when the line extends outside of the door.
(4)Reviewer R.
I went in for a lunch take-out; the line was out the door but it went quickly and my order was ready in a reasonable amount of time with no mistakes. It was very chaotic and noisy, so if you're looking for a quiet spot, this probably isn't it. Had the tuna nicoise plus avocado on sourdough (and comes with lettuce and tomato). It was decent.
(3)Andee P.
Visiting Savannah and found this place via Yelp. Great breakfast spot with a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. We even tried to go back the same day for lunch but they had just closed by the time we got there. We'll be back for sure!
(5)SK M.
This place had a line out of the door and I see why. The service is great. My turkey sandwich was as good as a turkey sandwich could be (can't really mess that up) but the bread pudding was the real treat.
(4)Kiram J.
My husband and I ate breakfast here on 2 different mornings as we love dining at local restaurants when visiting other cities. Their bread pudding rocks. I also ordered their oatmeal and it was good as well. Tip of the day: Don't leave Savannah without eating here.
(5)Chris S.
Service was friendly. The line goes by very quickly. Great ambience and a terrific way to start your Sunday. I had the eggeterian. If you eat meat, get it with extra crispy bacon and you'll thank me. My gf had the scrambled eggs which were perfectly cooked. The sweet tea was one of the best I've had. For dessert we shared a mini whoopee pie. The "mini" is more than enough for two people. It's extremely sweet. Awesome breakfast spot. Try to sit by a window.
(5)Clifford S.
Great breakfast place with my kind of morning food, reasonable wait and really good oj. If you're in Savannah, check this place out for lunch or breakfast. Plus, reasonable prices, clean and great service.
(5)Kathy K.
Sandwiches were bland, selection of chips was poor, but the service was nice. Would suggest getting anything but the french baguette. Key Lime pie was pretty tasty.
(2)Kathleen M.
Our hotel in Savannah had breakfast but we came here twice because we enjoyed it so much. After all, didn't your Mom always tell you that breakfast is the most important meal? I love the system of order first and then sit down - it allows the tables to flow nicely. I have always wanted to admonish people that to take up a table before you have your food is what creates the table shortage. They have it all figured out here! We even got to eat outside and when you are from Chicago, that's a big deal in March. Their oatmeal is divine - apples, walnuts, brown sugar and a bit of milk you can add to the creamiest, hottest best damn oatmeal you will ever eat. Lest you think I had a healthy breakfast, I will admit I also had a chocolate croissant and an Irish Cream latte - with green sugar sprinkles. I was able to sight see for hours! My husband had the bagel breakfast sandwich with egg, ham and cheese. I thought it was super boring but he loved it. Listen to your Mom and start the day with a great breakfast.
(5)Juan G.
Their pastries are not as good as they look. Bought a couple this morning and they were dry, burnt and tasteless. Expected better from this place.
(2)Mark B.
Not really sure what the fuss is all about. We went for breakfast/lunch on Sunday waiting for about 15 minutes on line. We ordered a bread pudding, basil and avocado quiche, an Italian panini, and a turkey and pimento cheese sandwich. My boys liked their sandwiches and the bread pudding was good. The quiche had decent flavor (though they used dried basil during basil season), but it had been heated in a microwave. The coffee was nothing special. Counter service and staff were very pleasant, but the overall meal was average. Wouldn't wait on line for it again. Kind of wish I went to Papillote around the corner.
(2)Kevin M.
I've had the bread pudding, the waffles w/ strawberries, fresh bagels, and the Eggetarian. Everything I've had was delicious, the staff is extremely friendly, and I love the cafe-style ambiance. This is a great spot!
(5)p e.
Delicious breakfast sandwiches, great service, and fast! Try the eggs Benedict croissant!
(5)Pimp D.
Long lines but tons of empty tables...what gives? Need to hire an operations specialist. Ordered a latte with extra shot. The latte was weak and disgusting - mostly milk even with the extra shot of espresso. The shrimp and grits was decent, while the eggatarian sandwich was much better. Ok but not great...not really worth the wait IMHO.
(3)Lisa Y.
Great place for a quick breakfast. We enjoyed the apple walnut oatmeal and egg croissant. There was a line out the door, but it moved quickly and there were tables available to eat at.
(4)Danielle C.
went here on a whim during a friend's wedding weekend, she is a vegetarian & read a few good reviews about this place on yelp, so we decided to go for brunch, and let me tell you there was a small line compared to what i'm reading, but omg the chicken, bacon, mushroom, croissant (i'm not sure what it was called exactly) was absolutely melt in my mouth delicious! such a neat little place, with great food, customer service & clean restrooms!
(4)Daniel S.
If your in town definitely stop by for breakfast. Friendly service and great food. Highly recommended.
(5)N K.
Loved it! Simple place. Lovely people. Yummy food! Good variety on the menu. Would've taken a picture of my eggs Benedict but it looked so inviting that I ate it before my brain could process anything else. Good hot chocolate too. This is going to be the start of a great day!
(5)Dominic S.
Another disappointment in the food scene of Savannah. The food is premise and frozen. When you order it is microwaved and sent out. Everything was terrible. The manager did however refund our money and was very understanding. We will not go back or recommend this place to anyone.
(1)Mandie M.
Stopped in on our way down to Florida for breakfast, not to be disappointed. The latte I had was delicious and the quiche the best I've ever had in my life. The way they had two busboys walking around kind of in your face is a little weird but other than that... Yum!
(4)Wendi M.
Lovely spot for breakfast. Quite a bit of variety too. Small items like muffins to full scale breakfasts like waffles, eggs, toast. Fabulous!
(5)Louise L.
Great service. I got the bread pudding (very good), a refreshing "the Chippewa" (homemade veggie cream cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, sprouts, sweet red pepper on multi grain), and shrimp and grits (yum!). Would recommend to others who are looking for an easy, delicious lunch.
(5)Jennifer B.
Sublime! Those croissants are luscious! Lox and bagels were tasty, and the eggs Benedict was perfect! Enjoy!
(5)Carrie E.
Quick, fresh, cheap breakfast - perfect for tourists like us. The eggs Benedict is so good...and under 7.00!
(5)Betsy K.
Delish!! Long line to order but once you get the food it is worth the wait. Line moves right along. We had the eggeterian and the eggs Benedict, both excellent. We contemplated going back up to get something else it was so good. Loved it! Yummy breakfast spot in Savannah!
(5)Lissa W.
Visited savannah for a week and my niece goes to SCAD, this is a great place that the local love. The service is great and the food is even better! I had the bird's nest and I do not usually eat grits but it was so good. Another time I had the egg croissant very good as well. And if the line is long the staff will do all they can to seat you whole party. A must go breakfast place.
(5)Darth S.
So I came for breakfast to this cozy place during my visit to beautiful Savannah. My kids loved the food, my wife loved her croissant, and I... I loved everything about this place. The eggs Benedict and the bread pudding were out of this world. It's been a month and I still dream about the warm bread pudding.
(5)Carrie M.
Heard so many good things about the whoopie pies. Got two of the minis, they were both very dry. I'd skip this place and go for ice cream elsewhere.
(2)Kathy C.
Our party of six decided to try Goose Feathers for Sunday brunch and we were not disappointed. We ordered a variety of dishes including bagel, sandwiches, soup, desserts etc. Everything tasted really good. There were so many selections to choose from that it was actually a good thing that there was a line so we could study the menu to figure out what to get. For the location and portion of the food, I thought the price was really reasonable as well. I would definitely visit Goose Feathers again the next time I come to Savannah and try some of the dishes that looked interesting, but didn't have the stomach size to try all in one meal.
(4)Michael C.
Get fresh avocado with your eggs n croissant. Delicious!
(4)Mary V.
Delicious eggs Benedict on a freshly baked croissant. The five to ten minute wait is worth it. Always try the homemade bread pudding. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. My only complaint would be the Additional charge of 1.00$ when I added a tomato slice to my sandwich. Really? But it is a tourist Mecca... For good, yummy reasons. Excellent coffee too!
(4)TJ K.
One of the best breakfasts I have ever had. This place is a local hot spot in Savannah, GA and my family and I decided to try while we were in town. We found it by chance, but were not disappointed. The lines are a bit long as this place is pretty popular, but the wait was worth it. I highly recommend the Egg-etarian. Can't remember if that is the exact name, but it is something like that and it is fantastic.
(5)Sunny Y.
Very healthy traffic-always a good sign Your order shows on a screen which is a good concept (took a picture) Staff were friendly. The owner interacted with my 3 yr old and remembered her name when leaving. Who wouldn't like that? I ordered smoked turkey Reuben Flatbread was of high quality covered in Rosemary which gave it a nice flavor I would have preferred more toasted - it was more on the warmed side as opposed to toasted Turkey quality was good - quantity was less then expected. I envision reubens as a stuffed sandwhich in terms of meat Size was large, the flatbread does overwhelm the turkey, I have a good appetite so a larger sandwich is nice. I didn't leave hungry which is good. Slaw on sandwich was good, honey dressing was not my favorite but that's personal preference. Pricing was reasonable much better valuable than Panera Bread which I would consider comparable I would think if you like Panera Bread then you will have a great experience here.
(4)Brad A.
Great breakfast
(4)Samuel C.
Great food, if you don't mind the fast food line atmosphere... I recommend they ditch the creamer packets and use better coffee. The food is fantastic though...
(4)L R.
I work downtown and I eat at Goose Feathers several times a week. It is my favorite place. The food is delicious and fresh and the staff is super awesome. Try it ~ you will love it!
(5)Jack H.
Incredible food and service! Every October & November they have Pumpkin Waffles on the weekends! My favorite!
(5)Justin P.
We were looking to see if we could a decent bacon and egg sandwich, and that's exactly what we got in here. My wife and I had the bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant. It was fresh, hot, delicious, and with the fresh squeezed OJ, we had a good start to the day. For less than $20 you can't beat it, and would definitely come again.
(4)Chris A.
Not bad, but not great. The service was friendly and fast. The breakfast was fine, however I don't think that it warrants some of the rave reviews that I saw
(2)Jono I.
This place was amazing! The pastries all looked amazing but we went with a raspberry and cream croissant and a chocolate croissant and they were really tasty. I highly recommend the Benedict croissant as well! Very delicious and we'll be back next time we visit savannah!!
(5)Teri P.
This was my first time in Savannah, so I did a lot of research to find the popular places to eat. We ate here on our last full day in town, and so far I hadn't been wowed by any of the other places we had tried. I definitely was at this place. I ate here with my husband, mom and step-dad and all four of us thought it was amazing. The food tasted so fresh and had the perfect amounts of flavor. I had the eggs benedict and a hot mocha, my husband had the breakfast panini and Belgian waffles with banana and pecans, and my mom had the salmon BLT. We all tasted of each others food. The mocha was "just good", nothing special but I wasn't expecting it to be. My husband said the waffle tasted like a waffle. All of the actual food though was soooo good! I will venture far enough to say that it was one of the top 5 brunches I've ever had.
(4)Amy D.
Talked my friend into going here for breakfast because of yelp reviews, and we were both very glad we did!! I had a ham, egg and cheese croissant, it was great, the croissant being the best part. She had, what she called, the 'best. waffle. EVER.' with bananas and pecans. It was so good she asked if I minded going again the next morning...no I didn't mind at all!! She had to get her waffle again, and I had to get my croissant again. As most have already said, don't let the line intimidate you. I am not a patient person and normally avoid a line whenever possible, but it only took a few minutes to get thru the line, and they make the food fast. The employees are constantly hustling around getting things done, but not in the least did I feel anyone was rushing us out the door at any time during both our visits.
(5)Mark N.
Pretty nice place came for breakfast or lunch, it seems very popular with a hip, fit young professional and college student type crowd, lots of customers who look like they run marathons or are otherwise quite physically active and health conscious.. decent paninis.. the food did not overly impress me, but it was OK, and the atmosphere is nice..
(3)Wells R.
Came here last year for first time while visiting and liked it so much wanted to make sure I came at least once this trip as well. Decided to come on a Sunday morning probably first mistake!! When I turned the corner to see people standing almost a block around the corner to get in I wasn't happy. There was no water outside while waiting in the heat, and looked as if Manager was trying to set up and save tables for those who wanted to dine in?! When finally my turn I was going to get it to go, but my daughter ordered eggs Benedict you cant eat that in back of a car, i changed my mind to dine in, to make it faster. That caused all kind of confusion, I was asked like will you need a table? anyway too much chaos inside and outside the store!!! having to criss cross through people in line to get to table!! I ordered one of the famous sticky buns and had looked forward to it all year... sadly it was almost burnt the edges were very hard so I gave up. Breakfast for 3= 29.00 ouch! If it isnt busy give them a try, breakfast sandwiches are good, but from a tourist stand point I doubt Ill go through that long of a line for a breakfast sandwich again.
(3)Crystal W.
This is one of my favorite places to get breakfast! Love the avocado, onion, tomatoes and basil quiche. Also the stuffed ham and cheese crossiant is delicious. It gets really busy but the wait isn't long at all. I've never sat down inside and ate. Usually ate on the go or back the hotel.
(5)Kristen R.
I came here on a whim, as I wanted something simple on my visit to Savannah. My order was taken by the owner, who was very nice and welcoming. While the price was not too bad, the amount of food I got was less than expected. However, it was quite tasty, so that's always a plus! (Random note: this place first introduced me to the word "pralines".)
(3)Dan R.
A top choice for breakfast in any town, certainly Savannah. The line was almost to the door when we got there but it moved fairly quickly. Food-to-table was a little slower. I had a black bean omellette for breakfast and asked for an egg on top, which they did (added charge of course) but it was scrambled (I neglected to specify and they did not ask, my bad). I would say this was the best choice for breakfast in Savannah.
(4)Ethan T.
What a find!!! I have read the other reviews, and was in fact drawn here because of the quick tips (great job Yelpers!). I had the breakfast sandwich with eggs, cheese and bacon, every item cooked just right, the bacon was crispy, on a soft flakey croissant in which I could actually taste the butter. I am actually watering at the mouth thinking of this sandwich. It is the only one that I have had that is comparable to the one served at the Midway Cafe down in the FL keys (mile marker 80). The coffee is well above average, and I was glad that the cups were big enough that I had plenty left to take with me as I wandered around town. The first time I walked in the line was short and everything went quickly. I was able to enjoy the open space, the high ceilings, examine the menu, and drink in this new place. The second time, the line was out the door, and after waiting a bit, my hunger drove me on to find a less busy place. If you are reading this, and only have time to try to the place once, stand in line and eat here.
(5)Holly N.
Very yummy! Had an egg benedict and it was the best! Friendly staff and tons of seating
(4)Alex C.
I came here quite a few times with my boyfriend and family when I went to SCAD. The food is delicious, fresh, portioned well, and very affordable, especially if you're on that SCAD kid budget. The Eggetarian (spelling??) is my favorite dish there. A collandaise sauce AND pesto, he-llo! I don't know if they make the baguettes on site but they're crusty and chewy and soo absolutely yummy. I've been thinking about returning to Savannah for a weekend trip and I'll definitely be visiting this place to try some of the things I missed out on if I do. Namely, all their scrumptious sounding croissant varieties.
(4)Jeong C.
You pay more for the ambiance than the food. As far as decor goes, it's classy, sensible, and the location is unbeatable. I'm a little wary of the service as noted by previous reviews. There was a guy who received sugar and cream with his coffee while I was given none, and i had to figure out where to where to find mine. Not a big deal, but attention to detail win my hard earned Yelp points. Better to come here early to beat the lines, and so that your brain is still numb to otherwise disappointing food. The breakfast panini really let me down, and once that happens no amount of bread pudding can save that. Fortunately the weak coffee let me fall asleep to forget this bad dream. I hope this was an off day, or better yet, they would scrap that panini mess altogether. However, it seems like they do the regular breakfast fare pretty well.
(3)Twisty H.
I liked this place - it's really cute and there are some interesting things on the menu. I just think it's not quite worth the exceptionally long wait on line to order (15-20 minutes or more) before finding a place to sit down and wait some more for your order to arrive. I went for the relatively healthy roasted sweet potato with pecans and cinnamon butter. BF had some kind of egg sandwich and a side of tasty turkey sausage. Coffee was really, really weak - even by Savannah standards.
(3)Chase O.
Other than Zunzi's, this is my favorite place to get lunch in Savannah. From the staff, to the food, to the owner; everything about this place is worth writing home about. I ate here frequently for six years until I moved out of Savannah and 2009, and when I went back to visit three years later, the owner still knew my "regular order" (which was the Chicken Pita) even though she never knew my name. Everything is "personal" with this place, and you can taste the love that goes into it within the food. Highly recommend.
(5)Vanessa V.
Ah-mazing. We needed a quick breakfast before we got on the road, and the word "express" made me confident that they could make that happen. We called in our order as we were checking out of the hotel, and within 2 minutes we pulled up outside. I ran in, past an enormous line, to the pick-up counter and got a quick glare from the girl at the register (I guess people just place phone orders from outside and walk in to avoid the line?) before happily skipping out with our bagels. They weren't New York bagels, but for Georgia they are about 700x better than I was expecting. I got one with egg on it, and the egg was cooked fresh, not just a re-heated patty. Highly recommended! Just make sure to leave them plenty of time to actually make your food before you pick it up :)
(4)Caitlin M.
This is conveniently located near Ellis Square hotels, so we ended up coming here twice for breakfast. The breakfast sandwiches were excellent--I had the egg, cheddar, and spinach sandwich, and it was a very flavorful vegetarian option. The eggs were fluffy and the spinach is sauteed with onion and (I think) artichoke. I could eat that every day. The coffee was good but not exceptional.
(4)Allana L.
We stopped in here for breakfast while visiting Savannah and although the line was out the door it moved at a decent pace and there was a guy bringing menus out for people. I had the eggetarian which I highly recommend, but be prepared to use a for and knife to eat it because it can get messy! BF ordered egg,cheese,spinach,turkey sausage croissant and it was good but they did forget his spinach and we took it togo :(. I had the house coffee and bf had a cappuccino, nothing special but it was good. We also split a strawberry cram croissant and it was amazing!! Reminds me of a strawberry cheese coffee cake, it was so good!! We stopped back in as we were leaving for more croissants and cinnamon rolls but they were almost sold out so we got whoopee pies, the pumpkin cream cheese one was amazing but we didn't care for the oreo like one, the white cream was too sweet. A great place to visit in Savannah. Good food and good prices!!
(4)James C.
The most amazing cinnamon buns ever! We also had the eggs Benedict and waffles with strawberries and cream. This place is a must! Everything was wonderful, and we'll go back every time we visit Savannah.
(5)Virginia M.
This is a nice place to get a quick breakfast without a lot of hassle.
(3)Travis B.
cute place. cute food options. i haven't had a decent cup of coffee since coming to savannah, but i thought for sure i'd get it here. unfortunately, as soon as i dripped a small amount of cream in, it "tanned" up, immediately exhibiting that "crap, it's way too weak" coffee. i didn't like it. but i wouldn't let that stop a second visit for eats.
(3)Bridget K.
My friend and I decided to take a road trip from the cold weather in Chicago to sunny Savannah. We arrived at 6:30 in the morning after having driven through the night. We slept for a few hours then went looking for food. Luckily my friend had lived in Savannah for a year as a full time volunteer at a medical clinic, so she knew the area. We went to Goose Feathers which was really good. It was like the south's Panera (which I love). The food was really good and they have great service. We didn't have to wait long to order or for food and it was around noon on a Saturday. Which I think would be a pretty busy time. The food was great. I'll have to go back again the next time my friend and I decide to take an 18 hour road trip each way to Savannah.
(4)Katie B.
Great for a quick lunch. Tables turn over really fast, so it's easy to run in, grab a sandwich and wolf it down. The food is great and you can get anything from really light to heavy duty, belly stuffing fare. Their drinks and baked goods are also top notch. The service, though rushed because of the rapid customer turnover, is always competent and considerate. Sitting outside is the ticket, since the inside isn't much to look at and a bit claustrophobic. The outdoor tables are nicely shaded and provide a view of the square.
(5)Robert M.
Only issue here is parking, have patience. Fortunate for us a parking space opened up directly in front of restaurant. Deli style ordering with made to order items. Excellent service, fresh pastries, hot coffee. What more could you ask for. One of my favorites.
(5)Sundi P.
Great little place. Their breakfast and coffee were excellent. Got busy fast. We both had the eggle bagels with spinach and they were awesome.
(5)Natalie J.
Staff was very friendly and food was good, especially the pecan pie! We will be back for sure next time we are in Savannah! There was a wait, but we didn't mind.
(5)Rhonda O.
DO NOT order their coffee..it was so weak. Otherwise, super cute and quaint place. Loved the menu items. My husband got a panini. I ordered the eggetarian. I loved it! The prices were fair, and the staff friendly. Also as a side plus, i enjoyed the boutique shops next to this cafe.
(4)Keith B.
I was expecting a lot having read the reviews but i left not that impressed. 4 of us got breakfast and the first thing was that my cappuccino was just not that good. I am not a coffee snob but a like a cappuccino not a shot of espresso with a ton of milk poured on top so it becomes a weak latte. The breakfast sandwich was good but not great as were the two egg croissants. Maybe it was an off day but was just an average breakfast rather than a great morning cafe experience
(3)Bailey B.
I spotted the Goose Feather Cafe after I carefully solicited directions from the hotel staff concerning the location of a drug store, closely examined the courtesy map, cleverly left the map at the hotel, and conscientiously started my trip by turning left, instead of right, at the hotel door. Immediately I was lost. I passed the Goose Feather Cafe several times and from different directions. I noted the charming cafe chairs, made of wood (Homage to Gebrüder Thonet, pioneer of bentwood furniture and progenitor of modern notions of the cafe chair? Could be...) and shaded under a green awning fronting tall glass windows and thought, "Say, that looks like a French cafe. I bet they have breakfast!" Eventually I did locate CVS. I quickly failed to find my items, met my wife, and resumed searching for this cafe. "I don't know what it's called. It has cafe chairs out front and a green awning. It is probably a cafe and might serve breakfast. You can't miss it." I am glad we didn't miss it! This was a Thursday morning. There were only a few patrons. The extensive menu covers a fabulous variety of breakfast and lunch items, with an emphasis on French food and coffee. I had a double espresso and a fruit bowl on the first visit, and noticed that the espresso was excellent and the fruit was fresh and cut that morning. We sat at the charming wooden chairs in the shade of the awning and were extremely happy. By Saturday we knew it was only a two minute walk from our hotel. We returned with our friends. Whoa! It turns out that this place is famous! A line stretched out the doors and well down the sidewalk. We waited, and twenty minutes later were seated and enjoying a wonderful breakfast. You can't go wrong, here! Everything is fresh. Everything is real. I haven't had a croissant so fluffy and fresh and buttery since Paris in 2005. The prices are reasonable. Beware that the rest of Savannah already knows this, and the tourists apparently all read Yelp. Visit on a weekday or arrive early and expect to wait.
(4)Ben H.
Excellent choice for lunch!
(4)Tommy G.
This place has delicious a breakfast and lunch selection! They have gluten free bread for sandwiches and baked goods :) They also accept SCAD card. Very nice staff, not much else to say!
(4)Clara S.
Oh my,... The pesto egg sandwich was addictive! Instead of waiting in line, call your in order to go and eat in one of the wonderful parks..... You will be able to skip the line and keep on enjoying Savannah that way!
(5)Simeon C.
Ordered the Eggetarian: Two poached eggs with cheddar pesto, tomato and hollandaise on croissant . It was delicious, the addition of pesto made it a flavor combo I had never tried and made it superb.
(4)Kevin B.
Very good casual breakfast. We ate here three times during our trip. The food was all good. The owner is on site and actively involved in the prep and delivery of your food. My favorite was some a sandwich called the Eggetarian except I had them add bacon. It was over the top. There can be a bit of a line because their ordering process is not very efficient. But it's worth the wait!

Long line justifies grabbing a menu ahead of time. Poached eggs were cooked perfectly and the whole wheat bagel was almost NY-like. The Barnard sandwich was loaded with fresh ingredients... but bread was cold so next time I'd ask for it warmed (yea, I'm that picky :).

We liked this place a lot because of the food, the service, the price and the fact that they are pet friendly! But be prepared to stand in line for a while if you go there in the morning but once you ordered they get the food to you very quickly. Amazingly, the staff was in a great mood and super friendly despite the cafe being so busy.

Goose Feathers...you would be the death of me if you were located in Chicago (due to morbid obesity from eating here all the time!). This place had great review so my friend and I checked it out for breakfast while we were in Savannah and we were not disappointed! You have to wait in line to order first before you get seated so: A. you already have some of your food (already made pastries) and B. the drinks and food come out faster C. this process runs really smoothly We ordered: 1. Belgian Waffle w/ syrup & butter (all the way which comes with: w/ fresh fruit & whipped cream and bananas & pecans)- This waffle was absolutely delicious. Nothing wrong about it. The vanilla sorbet was the perfect touch with the waffle and whipped cream. Amazing and a must try. 2. Bread Pudding- OMG!!!!!! this was the best masterpiece ever created. It was so perfect. The perfect touch of sweetness for the morning without being overly sweet. Everyone was staring at it with envy and asked us what it was (while they ordered their own!) 3. Cream cheese croissant- pretty much tasted like the same croissants like the ones at Starbucks. The croissant was soft and flaky and the cream cheese was rich: just the way I like it. 4. Veggie Panini (come with ancient red sweet pepper, organic spinach, mushrooms and feta with pesto and our special roasted garlic oil on ciabatta bread and a pickle on the side)-great panini sandwich. The bread was not like an ordinary panini bread, but I did not mind. Overall the red sweet pepper was great with the touch of everything else. Great for vegetarians. 5. Mini woopie- I did not try this so I can't say. My friend ate it and I was overly stuffed. 6. French vanilla latte: great but I wish I had whipped cream on it. I should have asked 7. Vanilla Mocha: my friend had it and she said it was great. She had it with whipped cream. Yes we are pigs and glad that we ordered all that we did. If I EVER go back to Savannah I would definitely go back to Goose Feathers. This place is above and beyond. The customer service is top notch and everyone is just so sweet.

This place has everything you can think of for breakfast. When I first came in my eyes were glued to the croissants. But then I got distracted by the omelets. What to do? I can't decide. So I got it all. The place has lots of tables, so don't worry about waiting to long for a table although the line to order may be a bit discouraging. Luckily, the service is quick and friendly. So the tables turnaround fairly quickly. Why-oh-why is there not a place like this in Montgomery?

Nice fresh products, good atmosphere and above all great positive staff from the counter to the cleaning guy

GREAT place to eat breakfast! Eggs were cooked perfectly, coffee was good and service was excellent. We went on a Monday morning, and there wasn't anyone in line. The pastries looked amazing, but we all ordered egg & cheese crossaints. This was the best breakfast we had in Savannah!! Will definitely eat here again next time we visit Savannah!

I love the Express Cafe. Loved it in 2009 when I managed to go visit for three meals in just three days (unusual for this "try a little of everything" foodie when on an out-of-town trip). And I was no less in love on my second visit to Savannah a year later. The menu is a delightful mix of breakfast foods (best quiches anywhere, customizable 'eggel bagels', Belgian waffles topped with fruit and frozen yogurt) and cafe noshes (freshly baked muffins and desserts, hot sammies like paninis, and deli-style stuff on a variety of breads and croissants). I've had a variety of stuff here and haven't been disappointed with anything. You order at the counter and then scrounge for a table, which can involve a bit of a wait during peak hours when they're super-busy. But even since my visit last year, I've seen improvements to efficiency -- like fancy new menus and new cash registers where you can verify what you've ordered. Actually, they have signs up that proudly announce the arrival of franchise opportunities. So I can only keep my fingers crossed that the Triangle will be lucky enough to see one!

We arrived at Goose Feathers on Saturday morning at about 9:30am, the restaurant wasn't full but it was busy. We walked up and were overwhelmed with the menu and now looking back wish we were able to have tried more! The baked goods looked delicious! The owner was taking orders and she was very pleasant, as was the rest of the staff. The restaurant was very clean, had a great vibrance and feel.
(4)Lisa S.
Our favorite breakfast spot. Love this cute little spot with great go Evade goodies.
(4)Laura S.
Fabulous friendly service and delicious food. A MUST stop in Savannah! Come early, the line goes around the block soon after 9 am!
(5)Nicole W.
Stopped here for breakfast since it was near my hotel and I was going to need to check out soon...fortunately for me it turned out to be one of my best stops in Savannah! I ordered an eggle bagel which was very good. My husband ordered the spinach and feta quiche and it was amazing...I was jealous. The charming cafe atmosphere added to the experience. As we were getting ready to go, we realized that we had not yet had pecan pie while in Georgia and ordered a slice to go. We took it down to the River Walk and enjoyed it there. It was great - not too sweet - and the perfect way to end our trip to Savannah.
(5)Rob B.
Ate here with the family the last time we were in town. EXCELLENT food. Price was reasonable and everything we had on the menu was tasty!
(5)Kim W.
We were starved and I had heard good things about this place. I had a cup of gazpacho and a smoked turkey reuben. I don't know if it was because I was starved, but my meal was delicious. The gazpacho was chunky and flavorful. Had a nice, subtle kick to it. The sandwich was made with a rosemary foccacia bread, cabbage and a buttery tasting sauce, instead of the usual reuben dressing. It was an interesting change. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. It is a good thing I don't live near this place. I would be eating there all the time and weigh about two bills.
(4)Eros A.
I got goosed eggs at Goose Feathers... Just an alright place that probably is better for a quick refreshment, coffee or tea; but not so great for the food. Food wise I was disappointed except for the croissant sandwich. Decor is a cheap replica of a french cafe; black and white tiles, french posters on the wall; and some really horrific chandeliers/lamps. On the other hand, the staff was friendly and welcoming. PS: if I come back, it would be for the sorbet Ice Cream; it was great!
(3)Elexa B.
Great service. There was always someone there to take a dirty plate or make sure that you had all of your food from the counter. Quiche Lorraine was good but I wished my croissant had been toasted but I guess it's my bad because I didn't ask? A little girl...owner's daughter? was working the counter and it was really cute she knew exactly what she was doing and filled up our iced teas before we left to stroll around. You could see a lot of local business men in suits ate here so you know it's good if the locals like it. Quick place to take it to go or sit outside at their little tables. We even parked RIGHT in front of it on the street and walked to two steps up to the front door.
(4)Kerry C.
We just stopped in between our carriage ride and shopping. It took me a long time to make up my mind because they had a number of great sandwich options. In the end, I got the Scarborough, a vegetarian sandwich with avocado and sprouts. It took them awhile to bring my order to me, but the busser noticed that I had been waiting and took it upon himself to check on my food, before I even asked. The sandwich insides was good and fresh, but the bread was way too crusty. My friend got a slice of pecan pie and was extremely underwhelmed. Overall, it was quick and a fine experience. I'd like to come back for brunch another time.
(3)Jessica G.
I came here for one reason: BREAD PUDDING. When I read a review that said they used croissants and baguettes, I was hooked. I was not disappointed. It was moist, with an apricot jam inside. YUMMO. I also forced myself into brie with a baguette. The baguette was SO FRESH, though when they asked if I wanted it heated, I kind of assumed the brie would be more melted than it was. Oh well, it was still very nice. The line was a bit long, but service was friendly, and they seem to have it down to a science. There were probably 10 people ahead of us, and we only waited a bit over 5 minutes to order. Not bad I would say! Overall a good experience, PLENTY of room inside to sit and chat.
(4)Jeff M.
Excellent breakfast of Eggs Benedict and spinach quiche. Even had a good selection on the menu for kids. The atmosphere was charming and although there was a line, service was quick.
(4)Randy B.
This is an excellent place to visit if your looking for breakfast. Just be prepared for a long wait.
(4)Ana P.
We went for breakfast our last day in Savannah and we were pleasantly impressed! Very cute and clean café, very nice staff and everything we ate was delicious!
(5)Tod K.
What a fantastic place, and so cheap! Goose Feather's has it all: a cute, French bistro vibe, warm and friendly (not to mention fast) service, and--most importantly--perfectly prepared, awesome food. And affordable: this place is cheaper than chain breakfast restaurants (one of the friendly staff members mentioned that she can feed her family of five cheaper here than at Waffle House!), but the food is anything but "chain." I had a perfectly poached egg with thick artisan wheat toast, a bowl of super creamy grits with tangy white cheddar cheese, and yummy roasted potatoes. Jason had a delicious eggs benedict, served on a fresh-baked croissant with amazing hollandaise and a pan-seared slice of ham. Everything was excellent. If you want breakfast in Savannah, there's really no other place to go!
(5)Julie R.
If you are in the historic district and need a quick breakfast or lunch, try this place out. We walked over here for breakfast one morning. The cafe is really cute. Probably a mix of locals and tourists. We had a great quiche, bagel/cc and gazpacho. Prices were very cheap compared to eating at the hotel. Ample seating inside and a few tables outside. Lo'ts of staff moved the line alone quickly.
(4)Bryan B.
I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! I've been there 3 times (would go there more if I lived closer) and each time I thought it was fantastic. The staff is polite and the food excellent. My only problem is that it gets very crowded and it can tough to find a table. 2 out of my 3 trips, we had to wait (after getting our food) to be able to sit down. But, hey, that's means they're popular, I guess. I don't know if it's possible for them to expand or add additional seating, but that's my only complaint and I didn't even take off a star for it...guess you can say I'm a fan!
(5)Shy A.
Quick and friendly service. Just popped in for a quick sweet tea and snack before our trollley tour. Loved their onion bagel and their quiches looked super tasty. The staff was extremly friendly and efficient.
(3)Mary W.
This place is awesome for a quick and delicious lunch! Plus affordable. I had the roasted red pepper flatbread sandwich, and my husband had the eggs Benedict. Both were amazingly good! Pass panera bread and go here! You will be glad you did. Oh yeah and the service was perfect and friendly.
(5)Trish D.
My husband, friend and I were in Savannah for the day and decided to have breakfast at Goose Feathers based on all the good Yelp reviews. We were not disappointed! We all shared a croissant, two quiches (spinach/feta and tomato/onion/basil/avocado-my favorite one), which were excellent. I love quiche and almost always order when it's on the menu, I can honestly say that this is the best restaurant quiche I've ever had. We also had the oatmeal with bananas and maple syrup, very delicious. I would have tried more on the menu but we were waiting for a lunch reservation in a couple of hours. I definitely recommend this place and hope to come back again soon!
(4)Amanda T.
We loved this place! It was one of several places within walking distance of our hotel so we figured we would give it a shot and it definitely did not disappoint! The "Eggetarian" was probably the best breakfast sandwich we have ever had. Try the quiche too!!! Service was great and super friendly!
(5)Melanie L.
Waiting in a line but it moved fairly fast. I got the egg, cheese and bacon on croissant and it was delicious. The croissant was so buttery and fresh and the bacon was meaty. My dad got the grits. They were delicious as well. It was our first time eating grits. We really enjoyed them with sugar. I also got the sticky bun which was good, not the best I've had though. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
(4)Igor U.
We (2 adults, 2 small kids) all had a very enjoyable breakfast, with sandwiches, yogurt etc. Not 5 starts only because the yogurt breakfast is really too small.
(4)Carrie N.
Had a breakfast sandwich here. It was very good and much bigger than I expected. Service was very good, also. A great place if you're looking for some variety or to try something different.
(5)Sean M.
Crowded but very nice. Food was decent but I would not wait in line like this again for trendy food. Very clean and very nice people
(4)Carolyn P.
Excellent place for lunch. Service was friendly. I had a large garden salad. It was very fresh and the homemade ranch was great. The rest of the family had sandwiches and really enjoyed them. The place is busy but they serve quickly.
(4)Lisa V.
Lines were long and I still don't get why. Food is run of the mill blah. Benedict was covered in an awful hollandaise and was not seasoned with anything. It was just egg, hollandaise and croissant. No sides, nothing. Sticky bun was nuked and hardened onto the plate. Quiche was also nuked and the crust was stale and not fresh. Totally unsatisfying but relatively cheap. Only saving grace was good croissants. Won't be returning.
(2)Kathy A.
The breakfast panini wasn't actually a panini. The eggs in my eggs Benedict were completely overdone (hard boiled) and I somehow had egg shell in them (how that happens with a poached egg, I'll never know!). Very disappointed. Would not return - not worth the line or the money. :(
(1)Tristan H.
All I can think about while I'm here is the geese from Aristocats. Good pastries good coffee. Well put together place.
(4)Gretchen H.
I really wanted this place to be good. It started off oogy, we were standing in front of the Place Order sign and someone next to that sign (Cashier) was just staring at us. So I finally made one of those expressions of "Hey? What's up?" Which was returned with one of those tight lipped wide eye annoyed smiles so I knew that's where we needed to order! Thanks for just staring at us like we were idiots, you rock. After we placed our order there was a number to the side, but it was still closer to the cash register then I feel comfortable reaching for so we just kind of slid to the side expecting that she would hand it to us. Which she didn't...and they didn't tell us where to get the sugar for our coffees... I got the eggs benedict which comes on a croissant and I was like "Whoa! This should be awesome!." But no! It was more like "Whoa! What happened?" To start it was cold..the very inside in the ham had some warmth to it, but the sauce and eggs were all room temperature. Seems to be a theme out here. The eggs are not poached, they are just fried, and while the hollandaise was plentiful it was missing flavor..needed some lemon and maybe a touch more salt. My husband got one of their breakfast sammies and found it to be flavorless, he had to add salt and pepper to get something happening for his tastebuds but geez. I don't know...between the service and the lack of oomph on the food I'll have to pass. Overall very unenjoyable experience which is sad because some of the baked goods looked awesome.
(2)Eugene P.
We didn't expect much from this little cafe but noticed that there was a good line out the door. We decided to go since it was moving fairly fast. We walked in and first thing we saw walk by was the bread pudding! It was mouth watering to see such a beautiful mound of dessert. We got the quiche with tomato, onion, and basil and the blueberry croissant. The croissant was flakey and buttery, just the way I like it. My wife loved the quiche, but since I don't like it, I took her word for it. The portions were average but the bread pudding definitely filled any empty space in our stomach.
(4)Carly W.
A good place to go for a quick lunch on a busy day. I've never had to wait in a terribly long line, but then again I tend to eat lunch later in the afternoon. They have plenty of healthy options and the food comes out pretty quickly and is delivered to your table. I like the vegetarian options and the multigrain breads. It's difficult to be too healthy when I stop in there...as soon as I walk in all of the desserts stare at me while I wait in line and continue to taunt me throughout my tasty meal. Sometimes, I just gotta give in to some bread pudding or a cookie. I can't say I've ever regretted that choice. They do seem a little uptight about getting everyone to follow their pointless rules, but I can't say I had a problem with them insisting I leave my tray of trash on the table when I attempted to clean it up myself the first time I stopped in.
(3)Roy R.
Nice little cafe. Unique selection of foods
(4)Kevin P.
I really want to rate this place as a 5 star place, but didn't just because it was a self serve place. To start off, the place was simple, nothing flashy, and seemed like a run of the mill stop and go. BUT I have to say that my gf and I thoroughly enjoyed the food. We went there Saturday morning and had to return Sunday morning for another taste before we left. What to get: Bread pudding- a must get peanut butter mocha- a must get croissant (I like mine simple, which just a slice of cheese... you can get the sandwich, but those are larger- for 2 people) Lastly the people working were great. It was a pleasure to eat there and I look forward to eating there again.
(4)Amanda Z.
If I was only judging the bread pudding, I'd give it 5 stars easy. Otherwise, the food is pretty average morning fare, all good but nothing that really blows your socks off. That said, I will talk about the bread pudding a little more. We first came here on the Foody Tour and came back the next day for another dose of this fattening little concoction. It is made from croissant and french bread, covered in an apricot glaze, and then topped with tons of whipped cream. This is not bread pudding for the faint of heart, this is full fat and full delicious. A single bowl is big enough for two to split, as we chose to do, and was incredibly filling. I have to say, completely worth it and probably some of the best I have ever had. Otherwise, the menu is filled with classics like bagel sandwiches, eggs, baked goods, lox, etc. It's not really a hearty southern breakfast, but it's good and maybe a little expensive, but frankly I was on vacation and wasn't really paying all that much attention. Sorry.
(4)James G.
Scrambled eggs, sausage, with melted cheddar in a croissant...awesome! Walking distance to numerous hotels, good, fast service with decent prices.
(4)Sheri E.
This place was AMAZING. I was in Savannah with a group of girls for my friend's bachelorette weekend. We were staying at the AVIA and wanted a cute place for breakfast and stumbled upon this cafe. I should be honest and say that the 3 mornings we were there for breakfast, we ate here all three mornings. We even had a lunch here on the afternoon we were leaving. At first it could've been out of laziness to find another place to eat, but really, why would you go anywhere else when this was so convenient and delicious? Let me just tell you, you HAVE to try the quiche...they have a few...try them all! Oh, and the oatmeal! For those of you who like it, you definitely need to try it...I had mine with bananas and maple syrup...yum yum! I also had The Telfair Sandwich (Havarti cheese, cucumbers, sprouts, tomatoes, and avocado) - even the meatitarian would like it. When I saw they were offering franchising opportunities I was super excited...now, if only I can convince someone to open one in North Carolina...
(5)Carla T.
A cute little breakfast place. We got there right when it opened so there wasn't really line but it got crowded super fast. I got a slice of quiche, bacon, and home fries. I thought the home fries were great and they came with sour cream. The quiche and bacon were pretty good but nothing specifically special. Would go again. Would love to try a woopie pie next time.
(4)Becca R.
Good food, but not memorable. I got the bird's nest, which was two poached eggs in grits with salsa and cheese. Good presentation and good flavors but lacked a little seasoning. My husband was not into this place. There were not many "meaty" and fillings options for him. He got the club and said it was okay but was still hungry and didn't want to wait in line again. I would probably try this place again with a girl friend for brunch and a small appetite.
(3)Jane Y.
Just passing through Savannah and had a great breakfast here. You order at the counter, put your number on the table, and your food is brought to you, and then they bus the table for you. The bread pudding, cheese grits, oatmeal, spinach and feta croissant, and coffee were all excellent! Nothing but praise! We were in at about 8:30 on a weekday, and did not have a wait. Multiple servers/ managers came by to encourage us to get more coffee (which we had in house but they also said we could get refills to go), and were overall super friendly. The place was super clean, as well.
(5)A C.
Even though the line was out the door, we didn't wait a long time to order & get our food. Floor mgr made sure our party of 8 had a place to sit. Amazing food & service!
(5)Laura R.
Love the atmosphere! Fun and casual with very friendly service. Mike is great! The food was much better than expected for a quick breakfast stop, and they have lots of options to accommodate the various preferences of our large group. We'd definitely come again if we're in the area.
(4)Cristina M.
Home made croissants how can you go wrong??? Downtown hommy feel with a hot breakfast to start the day after a long night!!! Staff is super friendly and service is quick! Got here around 9:30m and there was a line but it went super fast! Highly recommend
(5)Nik S.
Great service. Surprisingly speedy. Good was delicious. Did not have drink refills... Very small location but very good food and service.
(4)Jonathan S.
This place is a lesson in how to destroy the charm and ambiance of a cafe. From the moment you arrive you're blasted by a corporate churn and burn mentality. You can't take a seat until you order. If you do a bouncer with a microphone will eject you from the seat. The place is packed with tables to the point where the only way to move is to nudge other patrons out of the way. Meanwhile bouncer guy roams the "cafe" eyeballing people who've finished. The not mildly subtle hint is once that final forkful hits your mouth, it's time to leave. All of this combines to ruin the atmosphere. We enjoyed the taste of their famous bread pudding but it wasn't amazing and was overshadowed. The coffee was mediocre. Food at the other tables looked tasty but uninspired; think standard piles of cheese and meat. Overall we left unhappy and pretty upset by the experience that seemed quite intentional by the proprietors. Don't recommend, won't go again.
(2)Keshon P.
It was 90% humidity and I walked in sweating like a Christmas pig, yet wanted an Americano. Had been shopping for items needed for week long stay so wasn't looking my Sunday best. Didn't get a good vibe from staff. I like the fact that when you order Americano they give you hot water to allow you to decide how strong you want it. Has great desserts but I needed to get home plus just didn't feel welcome in there sad because it's right down from Andaz where we're staying. Won't be back.
(3)James P.
Eggs Benedict Savannah and Bread Pudding are both excellent ! Cleanest restaurant l have ever been in.
(5)Lena P.
Busy place for a Thursday late morning, long line but it went quickly and food came out pretty fast! 2 stars: I wanted to see what all the hype was about for the bread pudding...it was okay. Lots of cinnamon if you like that, had cream cheese inside or something like it. In my opinion, it wasn't that amazing as others have mentioned on yelp. We didn't finish it and actually wanted to send it back..but didn't. 3 stars: We also got the Scarborough sandwich and it was pretty good. Fresh ingredients, although their multigrain bread was very hard. Most likely not have been made that day..maybe a few days old. 4 stars: I got the Quiche: Tomato, onion, basil, avocado. This was pretty good, however you can't taste the basil at all, it's not fresh basil, it's the dried seasoning. I liked the crust it had, it was like a pie crust! Yum! I like this dish the most out of everything we got! Note: microwaved to make it hot.. Would rather they warmed it up on the oven or something similar to make it less soft/microwaved tasty. Service was nice, friendly, and pretty quick, they were ready to clean up our tables and get things out of the way for us, which was really nice.
(3)Ryan M.
Goose Feather's definitely beat my expectations. I was rather hungry when we arrived and there was a line just about out the door. That is no reflection on the quality of service though, other than the fact that this place is so good, everyone wants in on it. Everything about our meal was perfect. Bread was fresh and our sandwiches were stacked high. The curried rice and edamame salad was wonderful. With all the appetizing menu selections, I don't think you could go wrong with ordering anything they offer.
(5)Sasha P.
My husband and I decided to make a breakfast stop at Goose Feathers after our hours long drive from Tampa. Parking was a little tricky as we didn't know the territory that well. However, we managed to find an open spot off the main drag, around the corner from Goose Feathers. The line was definitely long as others have mentioned but to me, this is always a good sign. Whether it was due to local fans or tourists, the wait did not bother me much. It actually went rather quickly and most certainly was a good time to review the menu (since the staff were handing out menus anyway). Very smart! The staff here are polite, hospitable and give excellent customer service. Please and thank you, excuse me or pardon me. They keep the place clean and orderly, clear empty dishes quickly and are quick about refilling beverage cups. I would say it was the good mannered Southern hospitality you hear about but I went to plenty other places in Savannah that didn't have service like this. At Goose Feathers, the staff worked cohesively like one machine, including the owner who I saw working just as hard as her staff. I ordered the Eggetarian and my husband ordered the Eggs Benedict sandwich. The eggetarian was absolutely delicious! I was craving a mix of eggs benedict and tomato but didn't want meat or a salad. The eggetarian was a good combination of what I wanted. I think the pesto really makes a difference with this sandwich and was likely the reason it tasted so fresh. Actually, my husband liked my sandwich better than his regular eggs benedict sandwich, which was really good too but he loves pesto. Overall, I would visit Goose Feathers again and see what else they have to offer. We really liked this place!
(4)Vania L.
Great little cafe. Service is fairly quick as most of their entrees are already made or half prepared. Prices are reasonable considering the location. I like their system. You stand in line order at the counter and then you take beverages with you and some food but also a table tent for the rest. The had a large variety. We had the Belgian waffle with strawberries, basil avocado quick and ham and swiss croissant. It was all tasty. We also had the chocolate cake but that tasted a bit more like cafeteria cake. Some of their portions were small for the value or looked like cafeteria food that had been sitting out for a while (fruit and pasta salad for example). The staff was very attentive and they did a great job with the volume considering size.
(3)Sarah C.
Loved the veggie sandwich i had with havarti and pesto mayo! The multi-grain baguette that it came on was crunchy on the outside, but soft, chewy and light inside. It was really some of the best bread Ive had in awhile. Its hard to do an all vegiie sandwich right (especially for a meat eater) and this was delicious and very filling. The rest of the group had soups and sandwiches, which they all enjoyed. The food for all 5 of us came out quickly and we were onto our travels after a quick lunch. Be prepared to come in, order/pay, seat yourself, get your own napkins and silverware, then have the actual food be brough out by your server. Lots of choices, lots of desserts! Only sad i didnt get to try the bread pudding!

I've been told once or twice that breakfast is the most important meal of the day... but I still pass on it (just have no appetite when I first wake each morning... Unless I'm on vacation and constantly "on the go", then I work up an appetite. Last visit to Savannah we stepped out of the hotel on our first morning and searched for a breakfast spot (without Yelp and without a car)... Frankly Historic Savannah is rather quiet in the morning but we kept noticing people walking in the same general direction. Granted I'm sure were on their way to work, school or what ever but there was a gathering by the entrance of Goose Feathers. That "gathering" turned out to be an impressively, long line (on a weekday nonetheless). A couple tables outside and plenty of inside seating, customers just wait in line to order at the counter... simple bakery or room temperature items are handed to the customers and hot dishes or items needing preparation are brought out to the table. Dishes varied from typical made-on-the-premises breads, pastries, bagels, buttery croissants and quite a variety of everything that hits the spot first thing A.M. Plus plenty of coffees and teas to choose from as well. That first morning I ordered (2) croissants... one savory (Ham and Swiss Croissant) and one sweet (Strawberry Preserve filled Croissant)... SO PERFECTLY DONE. Marisol had a Lorraine Quiche (bacon, tomato and avocado)... as good as mine was HER'S WAS EVEN BETTER. Breakfast was so good that rather than try another place the next morning (even though on vacation and only makes sense to try another place)... we returned for round two. This time we shared a Breakfast Panini (eggs, cheddar, salami and roasted peppers on ciabatta bread) as recommended by the "very" friendly staff as a specialty of theirs (not all that special but it was good). We also shared a plain croissant (not as good as the day before though). Though we didn't return for lunch during our stay in Savannah, I did peruse the menu and definitely think it would be something to try; especially the hot sandwich options like Honey Ginger Chicken sandwich or the Chicken Bacon Mushroom Melt. They also have a lot of cold sandwiches and salads (the menu choices are plenty). Next time in town I will be returning... and why not... plenty of menu items, tastes good, reasonably priced, friendly staff, clean and comfortable dining area.
(4)Deirdre L.
Well prepared food, but not mind-blowing. The staff is very attentive. The baked goods are very fresh! Cute breakfast date spot.
(4)Gretchen P.
Family friendly breakfast joint in a great location? I'm sold! Goose Feathers is the kind of place that you can see becoming a regular at. The employees are nice, the menu is varied, the food was tasty, and in general I had a great experience taking in some breakfast here! Definitely get the yogurt with honey (it's Savannah Bee Company honey, of course), and I really enjoyed my egg, bacon, and cheese croissant as well. Then, after breakfast, make sure you've got a little bit of time leftover because you're going to want to take a stroll down through all the adorable shops and storefronts that surround Goose Feathers in this part of downtown Savannah!
(4)Christopher N.
You will not find a better breakfast joint in Savannah! Awesome staff, quick service, great food!

This place is very busy but they are quick and there is very little wait for food. I had a peach whoopie pie, bread pudding, and iced latte. The peach whoopie pie is definitely too sweet. The bread pudding was very good but it was quite small unfortunately. The iced latte was decent.
(3)Simon S.
Food good for breakfast; friendly welcoming atmosphere. But not making your WIFI available for customers - prehistoric!

The restaurant is a well oiled piece of machinery. The lines are long and the staff is efficient and getting people in, seating them and moving them on quickly. I had to have the "Best Bread Pudding in Savannah" because I love bread pudding and will go out of my way to order it as I did at Goose Feathers. I didn't finish my serving. It suffered from textural faults and the taste was just "ok". Far too mushy on the inside and the outer edges were beyond crispy crunchy. Others in our party agreed the food was average. We are 100% convinced the scrambled eggs are of the powdered and microwaved variety. The brownie to go I found under the car seat days later with a few bites missing. If it had been tasty I am sure it would of been consumed immediately. Who doesn't finish chocolate brownies??!
(1)Jackie S.
Worth the wait. Excellent hot lattes and fresh croissants. The frozen latte was a llittle off. More of a slushie than a frappe.
(4)Roy S.
We came across this restaurant as we searched for a breakfast place on our way to the old savannah tours and we were glad we did. We had quiche Lorraine & grits and poached eggs, grits & fruit cup. It was self service, but quick and delicious. A great place for a quick, delicious breakfast without any frills.
(4)Meagan P.
Great cafe. Pretty quick service. They left off the avocado on my sandwich (the reason I ordered it is that I wanted avocado) and didn't realize till I was done eating that it wasn't there because the sandwich was so good.
(4)Reggie M.
For my first time it wasn't so bad the only thing that threw me off was the grits flavorless n clumpy. Anyway I had the eggaterian and it was very tasty! Next time I come I'm going to come for lunch!
(3)Iven S.
Great food: simple, tasty, fun! While the food is great, what makes this establishment truly shine is its customer service! In the past few years that I have been coming here, I have always been passed with the welcoming, friendly service of Goose and Feathers. Parking can be intimidating, but Park in the nearby structure, and it will take you across the street from the entrance--convenient!
(5)Christy M.
Bacon, egg, cheese, croissant made fresh and brought to table HOT! Always line but it moves quick. Service is great, food is great, atmosphere is good.
(4)Stewart G.
Best breakfast around - colorful atmosphere, wonderful food!
(5)Yusing C.
The quiche is good quite a few people waiting in line but the atmosphere is good in general great prize
(4)will c.
The eggetarian was the biz!!!! The line was out the door, but the line went fairly quickly. John was nice enough to get a table together for us while we were standing in line so my 90 year old grandma could sit down. Thank you john!
(5)Edward W.
3.75 stars. Simple, easy fare, ordered at the counter then brought to your table. Food is fresh and tasty. Service is friendly and efficient. Coffee is very good. Lots of inside tables make it relatively easy to make Goosefeathers a comfortable go-to spot for a quick coffee, breakfast or healthy lunch in downtown Savannah.
(4)Jen K.
The food is fresh and fast. Great place for a quick breakfast or lunch, or to grab & go!
(3)Kimmy N.
We really lucked out finding this place through the referal of our door man. We came here back in December 2014. Every staff member we encountered were so happy and friendly. Like they really enjoy their job here. Which makes a difference in customer service and the ambiance! If you like poached eggs, try their Bird Nest. We also tried the scrambled egg croissant and the Barnard Street Club. Mind you, I am NOT a bread or flour-by-product fan, but this sandwich was incredible. I can't remember what they infused with their pesto salad dressing but it was incredible. I smothered it all over my sandwich!
(5)Andy M.
We had the bananas & pecans Belgian waffle, the Bird's Nest, and possibly the best bacon I've ever had! Everything was fantastic and the place had a really nice vibe.
(5)Mike H.
Line was insignificant for a late morning, weekday breakfast. Good eggs benedict although slightly underseasoned. Good coffee, nice atmosphere. I would certainly be a regularly if I lived in the neighborhood!
(4)Jamie D.
Have been here many times as I live right around the corner. Overall, good food for cheap with a hit or miss staff experience. Recommend going for breakfast! The good; excellent food (recommend the eggs benedict, sticky buns!, and fruit croissants). Low price for the quality of food. The bad; normally order to go (recommend this route, long lines normally and you can go eat in the square), but for some reason the staff normally gives an attitude it seems when going this route versus the line (even though there is a separate line and they advertise this).
(4)Kathy L.
Thanks to the Yelper that said to not be deterred by the long lines. It moves fast! We had a table full of delicious breakfast foods for an amazingly good price. I will be back!!
(5)Tara L.
Amazing!!! Had the scramble egg, cheddar and ham croissant and took a chocolate croissant to go! Both were amazing! Definitely my new favorite breakfast stop in Savannah. There is a line but like other reviews state it moves quickly.
(5)Alex A.
I was quite excited to go to this place and grab a nice sandwich with a cup of coffee and granted the coffee was good but the sandwich need a lot of help I ended up not eating more then a few bites it was so bad
(2)Josh K.
We walked by and noticed the menu. Everything looked great but we had decided to move on because we had our little dog with us and there wasn't enough outdoor seating. John noticed us and immediately set a table outside for all 7 of us and our dog. The food was great too. Worth a visit.
(5)Mark O.
Long lines move fast. Despite seeing some ok reviews we boldly go anyway. Cool place and the food is not pricey and is of solid quality. They do some pretty nice medleys and takes on old recipes. The Eggs Benedict was really good. Wife had the Egg Bagel and the bagel was, as she said,"perfect". So there ya go. Eat up!!
(4)Patricia F.
Stopped in for lunch on way back from Tybee Island. Food was good. Desserts were delicious, we tried the bread pudding and peach woopie pie. My turkey sandwich tasted a bit blan considering I picked the pesto mayo and it did not have real turkey, it was lunch meat and only had one slice. The bread was very good and tasted fresh.
(2)Joanna V.
This is a great fast breakfast spot. They have your usual diner fare along with some more brunchy items. Everything was made of great quality and the servers were incredibly friendly. This is a great place to come have breakfast or lunch. There will be a bit of a line so keep that in mind.
(4)Nicole T.
Great cafe for simple sandwiches or a quick breakfast bite! Every time I've gone it's been fairly crowded, but the service is quick. Have yet to try the desserts/sweets....but the bread pudding is supposed to be one of the best in town.
(4)Elizabeth E.
Great for eggs, a sandwich, pastry, coffee, tea. All fresh. Simple but very fresh and well made. Not too much of any ingredient. Clean. Nice system. You order anything you want at the counter, you pay, and go find a table. They serve you at your table very quickly.
(5)Lauren T.
This place has good food, but it is not incredible or memorable. It is nice to find a quick place with some affordable offerings, but that is all it is. You really do need to get the bread pudding. They do that right. I had the eggs benedict as was not impressed. It comes on a croissant. The sauce is weak, the ham is a bit like deli meat, and the eggs are done over hard. I wasn't as happy as I could have been about that obviously. But when the line is long, never fear, they get you through it pretty quickly and seem to have staff that knows what to do and is on top of it without looking or acting frazzled towards the customer.
(2)Patrick P.
Service - A, they know how to make you feel great:) Food - B, I respect any place that serves a poached egg Coffee - F, over roasted beans, burnt coffee We will be back but just not for the coffee
(4)Roger A.
Seriously fine breakfast.... Croissant, pannini, and waffles...all fresh hot and delicious
(5)Laurie S.
Fresh food, clean restaurant, friendly service. Menu can be a bit overwhelming. I asked to alter an existing menu item and experienced no resistance. They have their system which seems to work. Lines move quickly and orders are received in a few minutes. I would definitely visit again.
(4)Elle O.
So I'm not blessed with the virtue of patience, but this is one place I will line up for. Get there before the lunch rush, or be prepared to line up down the street. It's not so bad as the staff hand you menu's which conveniently can be used as a fan. My mother in law loves the bread pudding and it's pretty freaking incredible. All the sandwiches are fresh and the assortment will keep you coming back. The staff are wonderful and it's truly a must. We've been for both breakfast and lunch and have not been disappointed.
(5)Margaret C.
We ate here on a recent trip to Savannah and really enjoyed it. It was a stone's throw away from our hotel, the Andaz Savannah. The place gets packed quickly, but don't let the line keep you from going. The owners have the ordering and line down to a science and were able to get us through the line and served pretty quickly. I got the bird's nest--a "nest" of grits with two poached eggs, some salsa, and cheese. Delicious!!! The grits were cooked to perfection and I'm a harsh critic growing up on grist. The eggs were perfectly poached and I love the unexpected addition of the salsa and cheese. I may try to replicate this at home. Overall, this is a wonderful place for bfast and I suspect for lunch as well (based on bfast).
(5)Christina J.
It's great an all too have homemade foods.... then u demean your own food with your microwave heating process! Really; Why?! Let your guest wait an extra fee minutes. Your product is worth thr respect.
(3)R W.
Great variety of dishes. Good quality. You can have bread pudding for breakfast. Friendly staff.
(4)Lisa S.
Excellent food. Great service. Make sure you are prepared to order for they dont have much patience if you're not ready lol. Good fresh breakfast. Super popular and dont let the line scare you. It moves fast.
(4)Jaycie H.
This is a cool al la carte style restaurant. They have a lot of baked goods like muffins, bagels, and croissants. Their dishes include waffles and sandwiches and grits and other things. It isn't really a biscuits and gravy type place. It's also very quick service. The drip coffee was great too!
(5)Raj B.
We woke up late and we're looking for a place that served a late breakfast. Thankfully we found this place that serves breakfast all day! The Belgian waffles with strawberries and whipped cream are not the best I've had but still pretty good. Even though they were crowded, the service was fast and amazing. We were sitting outside and I dropped my fork and the manager, John, just appeared out of now where and brought me another fork! Overall great experience.
(4)jesse c.
awesome breakfast. this place has hearty and light. great coffee. savannah is a great place to spend the night, but we are often up earlier than others and go walking. have never found anywhere better. come here every time. the oatmeal is excellent. egg and bakery items obviously delicious too.
(5)Torrie F.
Excellent breakfast/brunch. All 4 of us had something different & we loved it all. The line moved very fast & the staff was very courteous & friendly. Definitely a place I will visit again.
(5)Janelle D.
Great choices here - sandwiches, soups, hot beverages, and breakfast all day! Make sure you try their bread pudding. It's a huge serving and it hits the spot. Everyone was super friendly to us.
(5)Kevin K.
Well prepared food, but not mind-blowing. Tried the Eggetarian, which was a breakfast sandwich on a croissant - the croissant was perfect, as were the eggs, but wasn't memorable; I was hoping the pesto would add some flare, but there wasn't much on the sandwich. Everything is self-serve, so you'll be waiting in line to order and filling your own drinks, along with finding your own seat. Nice to try out, but won't make a point to return.
(3)Raja M.
Beautiful little cafe tucked away in the historic district of Savannah. Great place for breakfast/brunch with a variety of choices. Kid friendly with a kid's menu. Great service from a very friendly staff. This place defines the meaning of southern hospitality. The food is also amazing. Try the breakfast burrito which is not overloaded with stuff, just simple tasty ingredients that come together beautifully. If you're in Savannah overnight, this is a required stop for breakfast.
(5)Mathew W.
Eggs Benedict was good, but the other meal (Bird's Nest) was underwhelming. There were several cracked egg shell pieces in the dish and the coffee was far too cold. Decent, but nothing too great.
(3)Jim B.
This place runs like a machine; greeter outside was handing out menus at the end of the (short) line, one gal was keying in orders, second gal rings up your cash or credit, if there will be a wait for your food, they give you a tray with a numbered flag for the food runner to locate you. Stopped in on a Sunday about 8:30 AM. Cappuccino and eggs benedict. Came to about $12.00 before the tip. Food was OK but not special. I would try them again for more of the menu. Servers are friendly; decor is nice enough for a cafe. Food came out very fast. Four stars may be being too nice; but it is pretty good overall.
(4)Steve K.
Good breakfast place--a bit of a line to get in, but worth it. Had the Bird's Nest--a pair of poached eggs over some grits with a ring of cheese around then. Yummy. The bread pudding was even better--strongly recommend getting it.
(4)Brielle P.
No wonder everyone recommends this place.... Very yummy breakfast. I had a breakfast burrito with a side of there breakfast potato... I'm picky about my potatoes and these were the bomb! Even good enough to share with the table cause I needed them to see how good they were. Excellent and tentative service. Food came out fast and hot.
(5)Jennifer A.
Cheap, reliable food. It's like a diner/cafe/bakery/brunch spot. Nothing is omg-shut-up-and-eat-this fantastic, but nothing is bad. If you are looking for a reliable place to get breakfast or an easy lunch in Savannah, this is the place.
(3)Jaimi A.
Fast and tasty this express cafe will fill you up and get you out in under 30 minutes if that is your aim. We arrived a little after opening, around 830, and barely had to wait for our food. The line at the counter swelled and shrunk a few times during our breakfast, but no one ever had to wait more than five minutes from order to table. I had the Eggs Benedict, which was tasty, but I was kicking myself for not ordering the Bird's Next which looked amazing (I did snitch a taste from my husband and it was tasty!). I had the bread pudding as well. I wasn't a fan of the marmalade-like topping on it, but otherwise it was tasty.
(5)Walter S.
This place has been a regular lifesaver for breakfast, Tasty full bodied coffee is a draw. Their take on eggs Benedict with a croissant is tasty, the bread pudding rocks, fruit bowls are a welcome addition, and at lunch we tried a Salmon BLT and a Chicken Bacon Mushroom Melt were both savory. The staff deserves special thanks for greeting folks at the door and offering menus before people get to the counter to order, it really helps everyone and speeds things up.
(4)Jacob G.
While this place had great service, the food was not exactly what I was looking for in the heart of historic Savannah. I was somewhat disappointed by The food. However the pastries seemed alright. Again, the service was excellent.
(2)Laura O.
We stopped in at this charming breakfast spot one Tuesday morning before embarking on an equally charming trolley tour of historic Savannah. Because, when in Savannah, you can't help but do charming things like this. As it was a weekday, we didn't face much of a line: just enough for us to decide what to order. We ordered at the register and then found our own place to sit; there's no wait service. The decor was cute-- bit of a throwback. The vibe was very chill. Lately, I have been trying to order things that are not eggs benedict when getting breakfast/brunch, but I just couldn't say no to the Savannah-style Eggs Benny (served on a croissant instead of an English muffin). It was pretty delicious, and the croissant added an extra succulence to the dish. I also had a refreshing frozen cappuccino. My boyfriend had the bird's nest, which he enjoyed but found very filling. This is definitely a nice place to come if you're looking for a quick, casual, tasty bite. However, if you're planning on lingering, brunching, boozing or anything of the sort, maybe pick somewhere else.
(4)Mary H.
This was a savannah original, and man is it good. It's fast, simple, light food! The quiche I got was good! I love simple and quick food! My husband got a breakfast sandwich and it was huge. And good as well! The waiters were super friendly and so was the manager! Would come back for sure!!
(5)Jennifer B.
Fab chicken salad, bagels and croissants! Friendly owners and lovely atmosphere. Would Co. E back in a heartbeat.
(4)Jess M.
Food was great. Line was crazy. Once you order it goes pretty fast, but the line is a bit annoying. You can do a web order and walk right up to pick up your order so I suggest that. A little thinking ahead will save you time and you could still sit and eat there. Quiche, croissants and waffles all excellent.
(4)Tara K.
When we got here it was packed! The worst part was coming in from the heat outside and standing in a line that was to the door sweating because it was so hot in there! The heat inspired me to get a frozen cappuccino which was sweet and icy I personally couldn't finish it, but it was refreshing. We each ordered a pastry I got a chocolate croissant heated up and my boyfriend got a cinnamon roll which had a chunk missing probably from where they ripped in from another one so someone else probably got bonus cinnamon roll and we missed out. I'd say the cinnamon roll was better, but the chocolate croissant was really good too. I had a slice of ham and broccoli quiche and it was so delicious, but served Luke warm to cold and I think it would have been a little better if it was warmer. My boyfriend got the special, which was an egg and cheese breakfast burrito topped with house made salsa and he added bacon and every part of that was delicious! The prices are great, the food is great, the temperature cooled off as it emptied out and we were seated. I would definitely recommend this place!
(4)Sarah M.
This place makes an incredible breakfast sandwich. I got the Eggetarian, and it was delicious. My mom got an almond croissant, which was offered heated, and was equally good. OJ is fresh and tastes great. The prices here aren't that expensive (especially compared to surrounding restaurants), and my only complaint would be the wait, but they move through the line as quickly as they can.
(5)Sofie S.
Honestly, I crave this place at least 3 times a week. Their waffles are to die for! They have all different types of brunch food and super fast service. If I lived on Broughton I would get delivery everyday!
(5)Warren S.
Enjoyed a morning breakfast here. Had the bird's nest cheese grits -- they were wonderful! The coffee was also a treat. Ordering is easy, and the place light and open. Only complaint, coffee refills require repurchase.
(4)Andy D.
An excellent cafe! We were drawn to this place by the immense crowds during the weekend and an off-the-cuff referral by a local. The cafe was clean and they had a terrific selection of pastries and breakfast / brunch / lunch items for sale. I highly recommend their croissants and their bread pudding, heated of course. Goosefeather's prices were very reasonable and the staff was very friendly. Go early if you don't want to stand in line. We will definitely go back. This place was great!
(4)Kim T.
Was in Savannah for a wedding this weekend and stopped here for lunch. I had the special which was a turkey and monterey sandwich with apples and craisons. Wasn't that great. They should have used granny smith apples for more taste and/or a flavored mayo. Sandwich very bland. My sister in law had the chicken sandwich and there was very little chicken on the sandwich. Not as impressed as the other reviewers.
(2)Kristan H.
My boyfriend and I stopped in for a light lunch and the food was delicious. The owner (featured in one the Yelp photos) was very friendly, working the cash register and bringing us our food. Though the options weren't crazy original (normal sandwiches and soups), the ingredients were fresh and that makes a big difference. We were not disappointed.
(4)Steven F.
Nice little place to eat lunch.
(4)Jennifer L.
We ate here almost everyday of out trip for brunch. Nice, inexpensive start to the day. Many food choices and they are all great. I wish they were open later becuase they are so affordable and teh food was quality and fresh.
(5)Rob K.
Oh yea, I can see these guys being very busy pretty consistently. We found the Goose Feathers after making our obligatory reservation at the Lady & Sons. Things were busy, but we moved pretty quickly to place our order and find a seat. I got the impression that they have just enough seating most of the time, if things were any busier we may have stood around and waited. My sausage egg & cheese on a bagel included a ton of egg cheese goodness. My only negative was that the sausage was those mini (but thick) Jimmy Dean style patties. Personally, I'm not a fan of them....so I knocked it down to just an egg & cheese. My partner had the oatmeal and got a huge bowl for his money. It's a nice little place, we'd be back.
(4)Emily M.
I continue to go back to this spot on my trips to Savannah. There are some complaints of price, but if you order the best of the menu the cost is minimal. My husband and I went there for breakfast and ordered 2 coffee's, the breakfast croissant, a side, bagel with cream cheese and jam and the price was just over $10. The decoration and expensiveness of the seating is minimal as this is an EXPRESS bakery intended to feed you quickly and get you on your way. You order, they deliver to your table and then busboys retrieve your used dishes. We are always happy to return and enjoy the large breakfast sandwiches on either croissant or bagel. This last time the owner bussed our table and told us how he came across the place. Such an enjoyable experience we will be continued patrons. Thanks1
(4)K. W.
Went with my family and we enjoyed brunch here! I split the waffles and ham& cheese croissant with my sister and we loved both! My husband got a sandwich I don't remember what kind but he liked it and he raved about the dark chocolate raspberry coffee! Everything was super yummy, I'd definitely go again!
(5)Ashley P.
I ate the quiche with tomato, onion and avocado. It was prepared well. This place lives up to it's name, go here to grab a quick breakfast bite.
(4)Jesse O.
Aside from being busy on a Sunday morning, my girlfriend and I decided to be patient and stick it out. We were glad we did. I tried the Eggs Benedict (whoohoo!) and my girlfriend went with an Everything begal with creamcheese and sprouts. Both were fantastic. You didn't get much latte in a mug but it was pretty tasty.
(5)andrea r.
I love this place. I haven't had there breakfast items. Mainly go for lunch. Quiche is great. My fav. sandw. is the telfair-- cucumbers, havariti cheese, sprouts, & herb mayo. All their soups are super & homemade --my favorite is there cream of mushroom -- to die for. My daughter loves the roast beef sandw--which is also very good.
(4)Rachel M.
On the advice of Yelp, I stopped here one morning while my new husband slept in. Y'all didn't disappoint - this is a charming and well-run little place. It's a little hard to find, but that's probably just me. Inside, there's just enough room for it to be bustling without being packed. There was a line, but it moved swiftly, and the folks behind the counter were very polite. I had a couple of chocolate pastries and some coffee, and it was all excellent. I wish I'd woken Jason up and brought him over, too!
(4)Doug M.
Barnard Club Sandwich is to die for, Eggs Benedict are fantastic served between a nice a fluffy croissant.
(4)Kate H.
We had lunch here during our visit to Savannah, and the deli sandwiches were average, but plentiful. I had the cup of sweet potato soup -- very thick and not really hot, but tasty. My husband had the fruit cup -- again, average. The real star here, though, is the bread pudding. That's probably the reason I'm giving it four stars! This is truly excellent and enough to share -- warmed with whipped cream is the way to go. It's a little pricey ($3.99, I think), but worth it, as it beat the pants off other bread puddings we had on our trip. Would return, but maybe just for the bread pudding! :)
(4)David H.
This cute and lively place offered a very nice alternative to free hotel buffets. The eggs benedict were tasty & just what I was craving, while my wife had the quiche of the day. A shared bowl of fresh fruit and a couple of lattes made this a very good breakfast experience we would happily repeat.
(4)Herman W.
Good waffle! Hot chocolate is over the top- same for chocolate waffle. Eggs, bacon, & fruit were great for those needing gluten free.
(3)Tracy W.
Friendly employees, great atmosphere, great food! We will be going back before we leave! We had sandwiches today, chicken salad and Barnard St Club. Both were great. The regular coffee was delicious!
(5)Christopher T.
This place is just average and for what you get, I think a bit on the expensive side. What was had: Belgian Waffle with all the trimmings Two Sweet Teas Slice of Triple Chocolate Cake Bread Pudding Egg Croissant with Sausage Sweet & Spicy Chicken Sandwich Wrap Total was 31$ What was good: Bread Pudding & Croissant Sandwich The rest, mediocre to unacceptable. Belgian waffle was not unique and could have been from anywhere. Fruit on top was fresh but think it just lacked something unique to this particular cafe. Had to ask for syrup and butter, shouldn't that automatically come with? Chocolate Cake was awful. It was stale and had no distinct flavor to call it triple chocolate. The chocolate icing broke away from the cake from the first bite. It was not fresh and the flavors were not good at all. The Chicken wrap was just as bad. The chicken tasted like something that was pre-seasoned and frozen at one time. Ever bought Purdue's sliced chicken breasts from the grocery before? I swear that this is what they were using. A simple fix could be just to buy an actual chicken breast from the market, that is fresh, and season it your own way. There was no flavor to the chicken and it was tough. Looking at it looked like it was pumped full of something from Food Inc, the movie. The egg croissant sandwich was really nice but not worth all the rave I see this place getting. Overall, I think this is just a tourist trap that is listed in the guidebooks. I would not recommend anyone coming here.
(2)Gary C.
My Favorite spot in Savannah for a Great, Quick, Breakfast that's home cooked! Loaded with Pastries and Sweets, Goose Feathers can be Crowded or empty depending on the day. Even if it's crowded, service is quick and you can always find a seat. An idea place to have breakfast when getting ready to visit Paula Deens "Lady and Sons" Restaurant.
(4)Angel I.
Dined here mid-Sunday morning and waited in quite a long line to place our order. There was a line the whole time we were there-- it was worth it though! My husband and I are fans of eggs benedict and each ordered a different version of it and loved them both. We also took a whoopie pie to go and really enjoyed that, too. They have good variety for breakfast and we wouldn't mind going back.
(4)Meri S.
What a great place to eat breakfast and lunch! Lots of options for either keeping it healthy or splurging. If there was a Goose Feathers in NYC, I'd be a regular.
(4)Chantal G.
I wasn't so sure about this place as I went in to a long line. I was beginning to rethink my options but I saw that the line actually moved at a fairly rapid pace. I saw something on the menu that I really wanted to try, it looked like an eggs benedict croissant with spinach but it turned out to be the Eggetarian. What looked like ham on the menu was actually tomato and what looked like spinach was the pesto. I may not be a vegetarian but I really had to try it just the same. I am glad I did. It was a great blend of flavors and paired well with their fruit salad cup. I had a delicious peanut butter cup latte which had the perfect amount of everything (coffee, sweetness, flavor). The cafe was a bit noisy so if you're looking for a quiet place to read or relax, this is not that place but if you like a boisterous morning environment and delicious food to start your day, this is the perfect spot!
(5)Judith G.
Being from ny, I am not the authority of southern food but the shrimp and grits were amazing! I also enjoyed a piece of pecan pie... It was lovely but they heated it up in a microwave. Could have thrown it in an oven for a couple of minutes, I wouldn't have minded the wait. Either way, great breakfast in downtown.
(4)Paul L.
I loved this place. it's a popular bakery shop where they make delicious sandwiches full of veggies. Although you can create your own, the menu sandwiches are creative, wholesome and delicious. If you are seeking to eat healthy in Savannah, this place is a must. The prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is a bit hectic but quiet.
(4)Ellie S.
Ate here November 2008. This restaurant looks like the Corner Bakery kind of place but, true to the reviews we easily got a seat and the food was quite good. Belgium waffles are great, ham was good and we had some kind of potatoes with rosemary that were quite good. All and all a good, easy and quick breakfast. Customer service was average.
(4)Alex H.
Awesome atmosphere, very casual. The food was great, although a little pricey. Friendly service. If you're looking for a quick bite to eat in downtown Savannah, it doesn't get much better than this.
(4)Kathy H.
We will be back when next in Savannah. Great atmosphere, great service, great food. When you're dying for something NOT fast food, and NOT run of the mill, and are greated with a smiling croissant sandwich of breakfasty goodness, or a HUGE fluffy Belgian Waffle covered in fruit, you know you made the right choice.
(4)Dan G.
Great breakfast stop. Just enough to start the day off right and the $8 bill was a surprise for the 2 of us to eat a good breakfast. The Quiche Lorraine was very good and paired with the great service, I give Goose Feathers 5 glowing stars!
(5)Sneaky B.
Great place for a quick lunch. Had the club.
(5)Angie B.
Great menu for a quick breakfast or lunch. I had the club sandwich on multigrain bread and really enjoyed it. You could tell that the bread was extremely fresh and I loved that I could add sprouts to my sandwich. My sister had the avocado and tomato quiche and really enjoyed it as well.
(4)Micah A.
Great breakfast spot! I had their Eggs Benedict -- highly recommended! Coffee was great. For the price, this place does a great job!
(5)Kristen J.
My sister really wanted to go to this place, so we went. She loved her "Eggetarian" and latte and I thought my meal of an Eggs Benedict, Potatoes and OJ was just okay. I was a little disappointed that they don't explain that Eggs Benedict is prepared differently there...as in, usually they are on an English Muffin--but there they are on a buttery, fluffy croissant which was weird, and just not what I am used to. It didn't look like what I was expecting and I guess that is where I was let down. If you are going to make things different from how they usually are prepared, write that in the byline or description. Another weird menu item was my potatoes, which were little red round boiled potatoes instead of homefries or tater tots or hashbrowns which was what I thought they meant by "potatoes on the side"...I mean, it was breakfast--I guess I just assumed it would be more traditional. The orange juice was good though. The food was good, but not what I thought it would be.
(3)Erika A.
Stopped in to pick up a lunch for a picnic lunch when I was in town visiting my folks. Awesome sandwiches! Great service! My kids even loved it!

The best breakfast we had on our 4 day trip to Savannah! So good we actually came back for breakfast 2 times in a row and bought a coffee mug because my girlfriend loved the Goose's bowtie. She says it stole her heart. Very delicious croissants, a great cup of coffee, and most importantly EXCELLENT service. Seems like it fills up quick, but the staff keeps the line moving steadily. Strongly recommended if you're staying at one of the near by hotels and you're looking for somewhere to get the morning going.

Very short walk from River St and there was only a short line on a Sunday morning. This is definitely more of a cafe than a restaurant. You order in line and pickup the food at the counter or they bring out things that take a bit longer. From what I could tell, everything is premade, even the hot stuff. Prices are reasonable on most items. Bagel w/cream cheese was under $2. Juice is fresh squeezed. Fruit is fresh. The Quiche Lorraine was delicious - very rich crust and the filling was delicate. I was a bit disappointed by the bread pudding. It wasn't warm enough and tasted a bit bland in spots. Overall a good place to stop in without having to drive all over the city or spend a fortune.

Great coffee. The bread pudding and eggs Benedict are wonderful! Great prices!

We went here twice while visiting Savannah. I wish we had a place like this near our house. The food is great and very fresh. The servers are responsive and nice. The granola tastes like homemade and the croissants are delicious. I also love the coffee, definitely quality and not cheap stuff though I do wish they had more of a coffee bar and you didnt have to go ask a server at the counter every time you wanted more. A great place to eat and enjoy a morning before you set off to explore Savannah.

What a great place to hop in for lunch between sightseeing. This place is friendly, lots of tables, clean bathroom, and good food + quick service. What more can you ask for..... and not a tourist trap with overpriced stuff. I got the roast beef w/ multi-grain bagette. Lots of beef w/ lettece + tomatoes inside a fresh bread that's crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with flaxseed and other grains. I'm a bread foodie and this is good. You order at the counter, pay, and pick a table. Then your food is brought to you (almost super quick).

My husband and myself hired Goose Feathers to cater our wedding. Such a great choice. The sandwiches were some of the best food our guests had the whole week. A definite stop for lunch while in Savannah.

Love love love this cafe! My fav breakfast place in Savannah!

I enjoyed a wonderful veggie sandwich (the Chippewa) and iced tea for lunch on Valentine's Day here. The baked goods looked good, but I behaved. The Lady and Sons is about a block away, but I was hungry early and did not want to fuel that cash machine known as Paula Deen ( I really used to like her, but she has joined Rachel Ray on the dark side).

we are locals and, having a group of nine wanting breakfast with palates all over the place (some carnivores, some only-coffees, some vegetarians) we figured this was a good place to hit for everyone. known as a major tourist place, we hadn't been there for years - back when it was simply known as "express cafe". got there at about 8am on a weekday, got our table no prob. everyone ordered different things (see the crowd, above), and everything was - uh, yes - meh. service, food, surroundings. the espresso drinks were, simply put, terrible. nothing is hand-pulled here - tastes like a mc'd's where they push a button and something resembling espresso pours out. my muffin was overly sweet. husband ordered a side of 'breakfast potatoes' and got three boiled red potatoes on a plate. bizarre. yes, as said before, it's like panera's. like the generic, big menu but everything average at best, marginalized food feel at panera's? you'll like this. by the time we left, about 9:30, the line was out the door. never - truly, it's not worth a second visit, much less a wait.

Nice little place for lunch. The Bernard Street Club on sourdough was quite tasty. And the Whoopie Pies are excellent!
(4)Lisa W.
We were out looking for a healthy option for breakfast in spite of all the southern cuisine available in Savannah. This spot offered a healthy tasty choice. I had the Turkish poached eggs with garlic yogurt sauce and my companion had scrambled egg yolks with veggies. Great food, good service, highly recommended!
(5)Lane D.
Awesome breakfast food served all day. Got the cheese grits. They use sharp white cheddar - delicious.
(5)rolanda n.
Quite crowded, with a 25-minute wait, line snaking out the door and onto the street. But with few other options, we waited. It was good food, but man, there has to be a more efficient way of turning the workflow over so people aren't wilting in line. So, if you are in a hurry or need a quick bite, this is probably not your place. If you have time to kill, go for it. The bagel egg/cheese sandwich was really tasty, and prices are normal for this kind of a place ($7-ish for bagel/egg sandwich and water).
(3)David W.
Why are the croissants, bagels and coffee all so pale?
(2)gail b.
This is an AMAZING little cafe. Don't be scared off by the long line of people waiting to get it -- it moves quickly. The food is amazing and fresh. Don't be surprised to find the owner at the cash register greeting you with her hospitable smile. I am a huge foodie and must say all of their food is amazing but my favorite is the scrambled egg and cheese on a freshly baked croissant with a bowl of fresh fruit. Oh and I ask for them to put some deli turkey on there as well and it's never a problem. GREAT spot

Just gross.

This is a solid spot for getting some breakfast before heading out to tour the historic district. The people behind the counter are very pleasant. There's lots of seating, the coffee is decent, and they have a variety of breakfast goods. One day I had quiche and the next a bagel with veggie cream cheese. They were fine, nothing mind-blowing. My husband got a Belgian waffle with fruit and ice cream on top because that's what you eat for breakfast while on vacation.
(3)J H.
Fun place for breakfast. Fast service. I had the oatmeal;). Huge Belgian waffles.
(3)Shaunna T.
The eggetarian was amazing. A little busy and crowded, but great service.

I found none of the negative experiences of other Yelpers to be true for my visit. The owner was gracious and nice. I think others may have caught her at a super busy/stressful time. She did seem busy trying to make sure her employees were getting things right and there were a lot of customers on this morning. The line was almost out the door. The breakfast bagel and especially the breakfast panini was top notch. The panini took a little while but they brought it to our table and the wait wasn't long. The eggs were fluffy and didn't feel processed or like they were heated from a frozen disk like other breakfast bagel places. The bread and bagel tasted homemade. Coffee was good. Location convenient to the river, near Lady and Sons. This would make a good launching off point for a walking tour of Savannah. Their whoopie pies were excellent! I've had them from different places and these were my favorite. Not too sweet with moist cake. Peach whoopie pies were different and wonderful. This restaurant is definitely on my list of places to visit on our next trip to Savannah.

The avocado onion tomato quiche was delicious. Slices were kinda small. The bread pudding is amazing and not heavy and they serve you a HUGE portion! Fast, kind service and cleanup. Great location.
(5)Jeff H.
Great for B-fast. In a town the clamors for people to grab a drink and take a walk . . . This is the kind of place you need the next day, when the sun warms the Atlantic and sounds the bell for Savannah to wake up and get on with the day.
(4)J M.
We had breakfast here after a night and brief day in Savannah...the coffee was fantastic, breakfast sandwhich great and service even better. I would definitely come back.
(4)Imran Q.
Eh. Nothing special. The usual breakfast fare made mediocre. Some extras in the menu (bead pudding) but nothing really "wow"-ing. It's a good place to go in Savannah since I don't think there is an IHOP close by. The atmosphere has it's charm.
(3)Sarah L.
My friend: I think this place is ok, if they got rid of the checkerboard tablecloths. Me: And the bugs. My quiche was good (if a bit salty, but whatever it's a diner the quiche is going to be salty) but my bread pudding was GREAT. There is a sign on the wall saying that the bread pudding is "world famous," which I'm not sure about, but it was definitely the most appetizing thing on my plate or any of the plates around me.

I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast from this restaurant! (We visited Savannah just for a few days) I ordered one of the baguette sandwiches with all kinds of vegetables and cheese. When I saw the price on the menu I wondered why it cost that much, but when I actually saw my sandwich I totally understood. It was fresh and tasty and good size (I need a good and big breakfast). I also ordered simple white baguette with cheese, which also tasted rather nice. I have to say, though, I wasn't that crazy about their blueberry muffin. It was very sticky and too sweet for my taste. I still finished it anyway! I got a really good parking spot right in front of the restaurant (metered). I didn't eat at the restaurant - they take orders on the phone / their website, so whenever you show up your order is ready for pick-up. I loved that service since I was on the go. I'll come back again if I am in Savannah.
(4)Kate F.
High points for this locally-owned eatery, and the convenient location and homemade food. We came in for breakfast on a Tuesday morning at about 9am. We didn't have to wait in line. The menu items were appealing and everything was clean. We had the egg-pesto sandwich on a croissant and a spicy sausage breakfast panini. The pesto sandwich could have been better - but it was ok. The panini was really good. The coffee was great. The service was fabulous. As far as touristy breakfast spots go, this would get our vote. Prices were fair. We probably won't crave going back, but we would tell friends in the area to check it out.
(3)Troy M.
We have been at Goose Feathers many times, and it is always wonderful. The staff is very nice and they are very prompt when bringing out your food. We love Goose Feathers!
(5)Cristi G.
ok i give it a four only because they dont have omelottes! everything else was quite yumm and smelled delish..i hear a lot of the locals go there and thats always nice, and as per my expeirance i was greeted quite spectacularly as i walked in ;0)
(4)Lark L.
This place will always be busy due to great location. The restaurant set-up is ridiculous--and seeing that they have been around for years and still can't or won't try and make a more productive and easy ordering process for the customer is ridiculous. This obviously really bugs me! Making a few changes and adding a register could make the waiting and ordering process much more efficient. Breakfast was alright---just breakfast.
(2)Jae K.
Really cute place. Loved the atmosphere and checkered floors. The service was very friendly and fast. I went here twice while visiting and would definitely return. As a vegan I had some options. The Scarborough sandwich was really delicious (minus the cheese) and I found it reasonable at $5. My father loved the coffee so much he bought a pound of it to take home. I actually ate my sandwich here before my parents trekked down the block to the horrific Lady and Sons--1 star review for that place! Goose Feathers is a much more "Savannah experience."
(4)Bryan O.
The farthest thing from a typical "southern" breakfast place. Actually seemed like something out of tahoe or Colorado ski town. Had the very southern lox and bagel, while the boy had a waffle & banana. No biscuit & gravy or such to be found. Still, really good food, clean and friendly.
(4)Smacks A.
Dropped by and had a great breakfast. I had a delicious yogurt and fresh granola and shared the veggie bagel sandwich with the Mrs. I thought the prices were fair and the service was excellent.
(4)Cari G.
Great menu items available. Good prices and great customer service. You can choose options from naughty (baked goods) to nice (oatmeal). Accessible location near popular area favorites including Broughton Street and City Market.
(3)Kaitlyn H.
The food is tasty, but average. The prices aren't bad for but for the same price down the street, you could likely get something a bit better. It's cozy and the people are friendly... just one major thing: no matter what time of the day I've been in there, they've been sloooooow. Please change your name "express" cafe and bakery. It's misleading.
(3)Elizabeth M.
I was in from out of town and looking for someplace to grab a quick lunch. This turned out to be a great choice -- pleasant atmosphere, not too noisy or crowded (even though it was a Saturday), and my bacon mushroom melt and latte were delicious.
(5)Betsy K.
Goose Feathers was highly recommended. We stood in the line outside on a brisk February day. As an employee came out and handed out menus in order to speed up the ordering inside, someone in our group mentioned we had brought 14 people. When we got inside, we noticed they were moving and setting up a long dining space for 14 people, without being asked. We were impressed! Food was excellent - had Eggs Benedict and cheese grits. Everyone else in our party enjoyed their various dishes, including the Red Velvet Whoopie Pie, Belgian fruit waffle with frozen yogurt, and a variety of egg and sandwich meals. Yay for Goose Feathers!
(5)I. F.
I went to this place last Wednesday I believe. Anyway, I got a nice bagel with lox and cream cheese. It was great-great tasting lox. The only thing I have to complain about is that, it's way too overpriced. I shouldn't have to pay 7.50 for that. But, I'll definitely for sure go their again, and get something else.
(4)Cynthia V.
EXPENSIVE. 2 Oatmeal's and 2 drinks came to 14 bucks? Thats ridiculous. But the oatmeal was good. The seating is nice.
(3)Chrissy S.
Amazing food! I got the Belgian waffle all the way, so it had fresh fruit, whipped cream and frozen yogurt on it. Delicious!
(5)Alex W.
Relatively weak selection of coffee and baked goods but what they did have was tasty. Enjoyed a late and several muffins. Update: Received a nice note from the owner, after I posted the review, asking for suggestions and noting that they try to make just enough baked goods so they sell out each day. Given this, I thought it would be fair to note that we stopped by around 1:30pm so the baked goods selection is likely better earlier in the day.
(3)Amy N.
My parents raved about this bakery, so we stopped here for lunch after we learned that Vinnie Van Go Go's didn't open till 4 p.m. on weekdays. Any place that serves breakfast all day is gonna be high on my list. I ordered the scrambled egg & cheddar sandwich served on a croissant, and I got it topped with bacon and spinach. The cheddar looked to be a white cheddar - not your typical greasy orange stuff - and the spinach was cooked nicely. I am always dismayed when I order spinach on a hot sandwich and you end up with partially-wilted raw leaves and thick stems. Also had a mug of their house coffee that I enjoyed. Matt had their smoked turkey rueben, which was served on rosemary foccacia. The sandwiches were both fairly ample portions, but mine rang up at $6.55 and Matt's at $7.25, so not the world's cheapest given their simplicity. They were satisfying though, and I hope I'll be back to try their other items.
(4)Jim P.
Great fast food alternative. Excellent selection of sandwiches for lunch. Loved the quiche, chicken wrap special that they had, and the whoopee pie. Nice casual local place.
