In Short – This sky-blue cafe is owned by the Raven folks next door. Long indoor picnic tables anchor the space, often dotted with locals lunching on tuna salad. Picnic bakes artisan breads and hence specializes in sandwiches. Faves: smoked turkey with avocado and char-grilled veggie with goat cheese. No picnic would be complete without pimento cheese or sun-dried tomato chicken salad. Star attractions in the pastry case include lemony blueberry muffins, luscious cranberry loaves, carrot cake and assorted cheesecakes buzzing with whimsical dragonflies.

Picnic without the unwanted litte creatures
by lmoses at Citysearch
This place is very cute and small. It has picnic tables to eat your lunch at. The chicken salad is the best. It is not drowned in mayo. You can actually taste the other spices and chicken. The homemade cookies are very good.
- Pros: Great bread
- Cons: parking lot small, expensive, few tables

Great lunch place
by jcjcjcfoodie at Citysearch
My mother and I visited this cute place for lunch and it was great! We had the orzo pasta, chicken salad, egg salad, and pimento cheese all in small 5 oz containers!-we shared and the favors were perfect for a light lunch. Amazing bread!!!
- Pros: great healthy fast lunch
- Cons: parking!

could be better
by steamhead at Citysearch
The recommended chicken salad was dry and nothing special. I ordered two boxed lunches and both the side and the cookies weren't what I had ordered (I should have checked before I left). One of the parking lot entrances is really steep, making me fear for my front bumper. High prices for average food. But the staff was friendly and attentive and the decor is original and inviting. They could use another table for all those soccer moms eating in there; they have plenty of room. Also they need to put some lights and a new floor in the restrooms (not bare concrete!).
- Pros: lots of parking, unique atmosphere, good staff
- Cons: high prices, little seating, dark restrooms
