Gabriel’s Bakery Café was founded in Marietta, Ga., in 1989 by Johnnie Gabriel and her husband Ed when they were baking on nights and weekends as a way to supplement their income during the recession and to pay for their daughter’s college tuition.

In addition to their classic desserts and custom made cakes, they serve a full menu of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, to 350-500 customers a day.
