I don’t even know where to start—everything about this place is amazing! The service is top-notch, the food is incredible, and the owners are truly wonderful. I’ve been eating here on and off all summer, and today I finally tried the Shrimp & Corn Chowder… wow! It was absolutely delicious! I also got to try their gluten-free bread, and it was fantastic too. This summer, we’ve tasted just about everything: all three chicken salads, the Chicken-N-Dumplings, Craisin Salad, Jamaican Jerk sandwich, and all the sides — every single thing has seriously been the best. Even our 5-year-old couldn’t get enough of the Chicken-N-Dumplings!

I have been to the Swanhouse about 15 times! The food is terrific and freshly made! My favorite sandwich so far is the Fitz Club. My favorite breakfast is a breakfast sandwich on a croissant, which you can get all day. Their salads and soups are just perfect. It’s all delicious!! I always get a cookie or two to go before I leave because I’m usually too full to eat the dessert there. The service is exceptional! The girls are always so nice and friendly! It’s a fantastic place to go for a quick breakfast or lunch or both!!

This is the best spot to eat in Fitzgerald! The food, whether you are getting a sandwich or salad, is always amazing. If you are just stopping in for a quick treat, the coffee and desserts are delicious as well. The wait for food has never been long even when I go while the place is full. Staff is incredibly friendly. Highly recommend to anyone in need of a good meal!

I love eating in this cute restaurant! The food is outstanding and freshly made. No matter what I eat, salads, sandwiches, soups, breakfast food and the best cookies anywhere, I am never disappointed! If I’m in a hurry, I get the food to go. If you work at one of the schools in Fitzgerald, they deliver!

All of the food choices are delicious and reasonably priced. Every time I go I get the grilled chicken sandwich which is always so cheesy and bread is so crunchy. They have soups of the day, the one pictured is the loaded potato soup. The deserts never disappoint with their incredible options. Mrs Bach is very caring to all her customers. I greatly recommend The Swanhouse Bakery and Cafe!

Mrs. Bach (or Libby) and her team never fail to exceed our expectations! The cinnamon roll was warm, delicious and had just the most amazing taste of cinnamon ever! The cookies were amazing as well, these cookies are the same ones I’ve gotten for a birthday, still are delicious as I remember! Thank you Mrs. Bach for everything you do, and I hope you’re business continues to thrive!

Absolutely one of my favorite places in town to eat! The minute I walk in the door someone always greets me with a smile on their face making me immediately feel welcome. I have went in to order and I have called in my order several times and they are always so fast and my order is always correct! We have had breakfast and lunch and both have been incredible. We loved the biscuits and gravy and french toast for breakfast. For lunch my go to is the buffalo chicken salad croissant with pasta salad or broccoli salad and I’m addicted! I buy the pasta salad by the pound, highly recommend!! My very picky son even loves the Buffalo chicken salad!! The desserts are all amazing, haven’t tried any we didn’t love! It is always clean, fast, & friendly service, definitely recommend to everyone I know and will continue to visit often!
