“The cake that we ordered from Kailey Cakes was absolutely the MOST extraordinary one I've ever had the pleasure of tasting!! Everyone at the party agreed that the chocolate cake was perfectly chocolatey not to mention the smooth, decadent frosting - not only looked amazing but also had such delicious flavor!! We had sent in a picture to Kailey Cakes via email of how we wanted to the cake to be decorated for my daughter's 30th birthday celebration. The cake turned out to be an utterly flawless replica of the picture we had sent her! She does AMAZING work- it's an art PLUS it all tastes heavenly!“

“The best donuts in the Nashville area! They’re absolutely delicious 😋🍩“

“The folks here were extremely accommodating to our emergency need for a medium-sized venue for our HS class reunion we held recently. We were offered a wide variety of food options and beverages and full access to their attached Wine & Spirits shop for craft beers, wines and other liquors by the bottle. I highly recommend this place for wedding showers, private parties, or other social events! Manager Rusty was amazingly helpful in planning, setting up and executing the entire package.“

“I placed an order for 12 mini pies for thanksgiving, they were delicious! The staff was friendly and the store was very clean. Well while I was there, I dropped my ID and didn't notice. One of the lovely staff dropped if off in my mailbox! They went above and beyond, especially around a busy holiday. Truly appreciated.“

“Perenn Bakery was remarkable - the true highlight of our trip to Tennessee. I’ll be dreaming of coming back to this place again. Beautiful presentation, fresh ingredients of the highest quality, great coffee, elegant decor. Their croissants are absolute perfection and what I call “out of this world”!!! Lots of mouthwatering options that make your choice almost impossible. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. A group of beautiful people that truly cares about their customers. We had the sweetest server Jasmine, who was absolutely delightful and who made sure we had the ultimate best experience. Can’t recommend this place enough, check it out yourself!❤️“

“Merridee’s Breadbasket is an absolute gem in the heart of Franklin. I came here with my dad and my daughter, and it turned into one of those simple, perfect mornings you don’t forget. The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and full of local charm — brick walls, warm lighting, and that Southern small-town comfort you hope for but rarely find.

The food was phenomenal. I had the quiche and it was spot-on — flavorful, fresh, and baked just right. The bacon was thick, perfectly crisp, and full of flavor. Their coffee was exactly what you want to start your day with. My daughter loved every minute here, and the staff was kind and patient with families.

If you’re in Franklin — whether you’re local or visiting — Merridee’s is a must. It’s the kind of place where great food meets genuine heart. We’ll be back for sure.“

Ive been in TN for 6 years now, I have eaten tons of Mexican food locations. This truck by far has the best pastor meat I’ve had here. I’m from south texas and a big boy so I know Mexican food. This place is the best here!“

“She created the MOST BEAUTIFUL cookies for our office’s event and I’m thrilled with how they turned out!! I just gave her a few ideas for the design and she knocked it out of the park. I will be using her for many future events!“

“While visiting a relative who lives nearby, we had dinner here. I had the chop salad and it was wonderful -- very fresh. My wife tried the scout salad and added grilled chicken and enjoyed it. My relative had the fish and chips and found it tasty. Our server was very pleasant and checked in with often.“
