  I had the pear and Brie panini. Service was very good and food was fast and good. Restaurant does not offer ketchup.

  Read the reviews for City Limits Bakery & Cafe and decided to stop on the way home from an appointment in Nashville. Reviews were quite good and mine might be even more positive save for a hiccup or two.
  
  I was impressed by the menu as I entered the establishment. The menu board extends all the way, across the wall, from the left end of the restaurant with a small, more "intimate" tableau of tables to a more spacious and bright larger seating area on the right. But I was immediately confused by one of the cashiers who were standing at the same register. (Granted, I hadn't had my morning Cup'a Joe.) Nevertheless, one greeted me with a friendly smile and "hello." The other kinda waved to my right. So I walked that way to the end of the restaurant. There, I realized a bit too late, was where you pick up orders. (I did not see any signs indicating "order here" or "pick up here."
  
  Another employee asked, "Can I help you?"
  I casually replied, "Just checking what I might order for breakfast."
  She responded with a gesture to my left and, "The breakfast menu is over there." (The place I started to approach when I entered.)
  
  Swallowing my mild embarrassment, I made my way along the serving area - fortunately there were no other customers waiting - and continued to read the extensive menu. (Nice selection, by the way.)
  
  Back at the register I approached at the outset, I scanned the breakfast menu a last time, reacquainting myself with what I had already seen on the well laid out website.
  
  The young man behind the register took my order and very politely asked about the hat I was wearing (Vietnam Veteran). He told me his father had served there as well; and we continued with polite chit chat until my Banini (a panini-grilled bagel...I think I might have named it a Bagini...but who am I to argue.).
  
  Lots of coffee options....fair taste.
  
  The fresh "Southern" bagel-wich-ini  was toasted nicely with an adequate amount of ingredients, not overstuffed, not underrepresented.
  
  Options for take-out abound from breads to pastries to fresh bagels....and a bargain basket with yesterday's bagels at a big discount.
  
  If it's not out-of-your-way, stop by. Plenty of parking is available right outside the door....just..
  
  ...remember to step up to the first register (actually the only one) to order.

  Recently at City Limits I had great service, a perfect chai latte and delicious asparagus soup. Although they are a casual, unpretentious cafe I'd eat there any day over some modern, fancy spot. It's a nice local place to go and a truly enjoy any meal I've had there!
  
  I'm updating my previous review since I think that really there's everything I look for in a neighborhood spot. Their drink menu isn't huge but they do have all the basics and some fun frozen drinks. Their bagel sandwiches are my favorite breakfast item, I love their southwest salad and the soup is great too.

  My sister and I stopped by here in preparation for baby shower day. We ordered a bagel tray. It came nicely prepared, but it took quite a while to check out. They seemed quite confused.
  We had a terrible experience because he asked for a catering box of coffee to go, and the man/worker walked out from the back with a lid in his mouth. When we asked for a new lid he said he didn't have anymore. He was extremely rude. He didn't even try to make it right. There's no way I would ever turn here. That is not the way you treat your customers, and that is absolutely not sanitary.

  This place is not open till 8 pm . They have changed their hours of operation and close earlier on weekends.  Please update the same in Yelp. We came here on a rainy evening to find it closed .
