ATLANTA — The City of Atlanta is known for many things, from being the site of some of the biggest film productions in the United States, to one of the most historic locations of the Civil Rights movement to home of the world’s busiest airport.
According to Tasting Table, Atlanta is also home to the State of Georgia’s most iconic sandwich shop: Henri’s Bakery and Deli.
Established in 1929, Henri’s turned 95 in 2024.

Tasting Table says the Atlanta sandwich staple is both well-known and well-loved for its sandwiches and its bakery.
“The Atlanta favorite opened in 1929 and was once named one of the top ten bakeries in the world. Patrons adore the roast beef and turkey po’boy specialty sandwiches,” Tasting Table said.

While Henri’s has more than one location in the metro Atlanta area, its original spot was at 10th and Peachtree Streets.
Henri’s history remains a proud part of the business, and it’s stayed in the family.
In 2016, Henri’s great-grandson took over the family business. Anthony DiNardo now runs Henri’s locations alongside his sisters Kim MacBain and Ashlyn Greco, according to the company.
Even after almost 100 years, the ever-successful Henri’s Bakery continues making its original recipes.
Henri’s currently serves customers in five locations: Buckhead, Sandy Springs, the Upper Westside, Brookhaven and Peachtree Corners. A sixth location will open in downtown Clayton in April.
