Joe's Homemade Cafe, Bakery & Catering

This little eatery, which was awarded Savannah's 2012-13 Small Business of the Year by the Small Business Chamber of Savannah, is located in an up-and-coming area of Midtown Savannah dubbed as Restaurant Row. The cafe features an array of lunch items that utilize fresh and often organic ingredients. The menu includes four salads, including the Victory chicken salad, a delicious blend of chicken, red seedless grapes, green onions and fresh rosemary, served with a side of Ted's famous zucchini bread. The sandwiches and Paninis, all named after Savannah's squares, are popular choices, with standouts like the Crawford, a Panini with roasted herb chicken, basil pesto, roasted red peppers and provolone. The dessert case is drool-worthy and service is friendly and personable.
