Can you say "Bread and Breakfast" three times fast?

LEO's Eats with Robin Garr

The sweet potato veggie burger at Bread and Breakfast


Let's head over to New Albany and get some bed and break ... um ... bed and break ... DAMMIT! I mean BED AND BREAKFAST! No, BREAD! AND BEKKFAST! DAMMIT AGAIN!

Let's face it. If I was mean enough to mark a place down because its name is hard to say, then this charming little bakery and b-r-e-a-k-f-a-s-t and lunch eatery at the corner of New Albany's Main and Bank streets would be in a heap of trouble.

But I wouldn't do that. Actually, BREAD and Breakfast is exceptionally amiable, the kind of place that gives me the happy fuzzies just from thinking about it.

It's been operating for a little over a year now, drawing very little notice. Could that be because its name is so hard to pronounce? No. Let's not even go there. Let's just agree that it's good enough to lure me back across the river, around the bridge construction, for a second trip to a casual New Albany eatery in a month's time.

Better yet, this place comes with quite a story, the story of its baker and chef and owner, Laura Buckingham. Laura, a 20-something with a quick and friendly smile, enlisted in the military and was dispatched to Iraq, where she served for a time in a combat zone.


Back home in Southern Indiana, she laid down her sword and shield and turned to the much more peaceful and creative enterprise of baking artisanal bread. She sold loaves from a stand on a country highway in Floyds Knobs for a while; popularity soon drew the operation into the New Albany Farmers' Market, and then, about a year ago, she opened her bakery in an attractively renovated New Albany storefront. ...

The only problem with the place is that it's too far away from where we live! As you said the atmosphere is very welcoming and the food is delicious and reasonably priced. We have tried both breakfast and lunch items there and each was very good. We've also brought home some of their bread which is also wonderful. Unfortunately, like you the cinnamon rolls have been gone by the time we got there each time.

We love this place. We've been twice for breakfast (my favorite meal of the day) and they knocked it out of the park both times. The second time, we went with two extremely picky, ultra-critical diners. Among the four of us we sampled most of the menu, and our dining companions found no faults. Folks, that's a five-star review

Robin, the cinnamon rolls are worth a repeat trip across the bridge. They are prefect - not too sweet and a bargain at the price.

We also found the service sort of quirky but we're OK with that.

I may go there tomorrow...............

That sweet potato veggie burger sure does look good!
