Atlanta Bread Company is a privately owned bakery cafe chain established in 1993. In 1995, the owners began franchising and expanding across the country.

In 2004, President & CEO Jerry Couvaras was arrested in South Africa for allegedly swindling South African investors out of $5.54 million. He and his brother plead guilty to a banking violation and agreed to pay fines, while remaining fraud charges against them were dismissed.

In 2008 there were approximately 110 locations, as of 2014 there were less than 50 according to the company website.
