Lactose-Free Nashville

Atlanta Bread Company

Wednesday, October 26, 2005

Atlanta Bread Company, located on the west side of downtown and on the Cool Springs side of Franklin, offers upscale soup, sandwich, salad and baked goods for a reasonable price. Focusing on the menu items that they do means that ABC tends to be busy for breakfast, packed at lunch, and pretty vacant at dinner... making it a good time to visit for the first time. The choices are somewhat tame, but varied and customizable to your heart's content.

The Lactose Line

The majority of the menu items are lactose-free when ordered without cheese. Their nutrition guide (pdf) is very helpful when guesstimating the contents of the food... the higher fat items will be cheese-centric or milk-centric. Avoid the Panini sandwiches and stick to the fat-free salad dressings for a more healthy and lactose-free meal.

Best Lactose-free options:

Chopstix Chicken Salad (yum!), any "build it yourself" sandwich, fruit salad, vegetable soup, tomato soup, any of the chilis.
