Formerly known as Natural Sweet Gallery, Gram's Eatery recognizes the value of tradition, simplicity and real ingredients. With family recipes at the core of their menu, customers can expect savory and sweet dishes that have been perfected over time. As Marko Golubovic continues to put a fresh spin on this Old World bakery, there's always something new on the menu.
How did the eatery get started?
Our inspiration comes from years of spending time with Grandma and Mom in the kitchen, learning their baking secrets and enjoying family get-together feasts. Our family owned a bakery in Europe, and it was time to bring our savory meals and sweet baking goods to the U.S. From our kitchen to yours, we use Grandma's recipes that have been passed down from generations, with a little tweaking of our own.
What role does “Gram” continue to play to this day?
Original Gram is the cutest ever. She calls every other day to see how things are going at the bakery and if we need any help (she lives in Europe now). My mom, Sally—the new Gram as of the last three years—is the main chef at our kitchen, and she handles everyday baking and training of the new staff.
How important are simple ingredients to your mission?
Too many products in supermarkets and stores are mass-produced using machines and chemicals. For us, Old World Bakery means handmade, using natural ingredients (when available) and attention to small details to create a unique taste and quality. Less means better in our kitchen.
What is the most popular baked good that the shop offers?
All of our products are unique and delicious. The most popular sweet items are the raspberry tiramisu, Ferrero Rocher cake, Black Mater cake and vegan cake.
From our savory products, Burek (phyllo dough filled with spinach and cheese or meat) and signature burgers with potato bowls.
What are some items that people might not know are available at Gram's Eatery?
We recently introduced a new menu, including the signature sausage burger, pulled beef with veggies, Gram's burger potato bowl and stuffed schnitzel—which is crêpe stuffed with chicken, ham, mushrooms, cheese, rolled in egg batter and bread crumbs, then fried and topped with tartar or tomato sauce.
We are now serving lunch, dinner and weekend brunch at our Fogelsville location.

What is the most exciting part about creating custom cakes and other goods?
The freedom to create something new and to play with different flavors to stimulate people's taste buds. I love to push our team to create something new every week as a special for people to try. Also, seeing people's reactions when they come to pick up their cakes, and the happiness it creates for them and us. We love what we do, and that's why we started this all in the first place.
