50 Best Bakeries in Nashville

“Everything hit the spot all the way down to the service. Very friendly and a great start to the day.“

“Best pastries in town! Only regret we didn’t order more.“

“Our favorite bagels & coffee in Nashville!“

“Delicious and worth every penny!!“

“Not only did I feel 100% safe eating with celiac but they had some of the most amazing biscuits I've ever had! We will be visiting every time we come to Nashville 🫶🏻“

“Me and my wife have never been there and happened to step in and enjoyed the donuts more than we probably should’ve. 😂 Great place to grab a quick bite!“

“We are breakfast here this morning, the food was amazing, and our waiter Chase was the best!“

“I have been coming to crieve hall for a few years. The food quality is great. I hope that they get more comfortable having two locations. The customer service is usually great but yesterday there was an instance where I ordered the orange dream doppio and had asked if they could make it hot and even mentioned knowing it had cold foam and some places didn’t like putting that on hot drinks. Well instead of asking enough questions, I got served a plain hot doppio and when I asked if it had cold foam the barista lied to my face and said yes. Then I mentioned that I’m a barista and I know what a doppio looks like and at that point he admitted there was no cold foam. Right before that, I heard another family say that their to go order drinks were made incorrectly too but they chose not to say something. Then my bagel didn’t have the proper ingredients either.“

“Most wonderful donut I’ve ever had in my life - best food memory of our visit!“

“My 1st visit to FatBelly and it definitely will not be my last! The staff was so friendly! Honestly, the food could have sucked and I'd go back just because of the staff ha! Got myself a G-Netty and sweet pretzel treat. The sandwich....UHmazing! Haven't tried my treat yet. But, I can't imagine it won't be as UHmazing as the sammie. Thanks for being super fantastic FatBellys!!! You've got a new *fan*!“

“Doctor Agbomian is 100% guaranteed for Herbal Medication believe me. He is the best, He send me Herbs with the help of Dhl delivery service the delivery it to my doorstep at home. And I started to used the medicine and believe me I got cured from HSV type 1 within 14 days all thanks to Dr Agbomian Medication that cured me from the disease.“

“Rhubarb pie! Rhubarb pie! Bacon, baguette sandwiches!“

“This is an absolute gem of Nashville. It has the best sweets of any place I’ve ever been to. Everything is Taylor made and is so fresh. This is my guilty pleasure spot when I’m meeting the extra moment of peace to enjoy and indulge!“

“Tiffany, was wonderful with answering all my questions. I was in search for the perfect Grooms cake for my brother’s wedding. Everyone loved how realistic it looked!! Baked in Nashville did an excellent job in adding all the details that I wanted - to look exactly like the hat I bought for my brother!! It tasted amazing too!! It was exactly whst I wanted for my brother! I cannot recommend this place enough!! A+++“

“We are breakfast here this morning, the food was amazing, and our waiter Chase was the best!“

“Let’s be honest, these are the best cookies around…sure, maybe you’ve once tasted a better cookie in your life. Or maybe there’s other flavors you prefer in juxtaposition to these kooky cookies. But, if I had to take a punch to get a single cookie from HiFi, well that would be the price. As a Nashville native that no longer lives within city limits, I specifically drudge through 4hrs round trip traffic from east TN just to get a couple boxes of cookies every few months. They freeze well and toast up great. They’re great fresh. And the seasonal offerings always have at least 1 that costs me 3hrs on the row machine. Buy a box and if you hate them, your friends won’t.“

“It has been 3 years since I’ve had 5 daughters doughnuts since I happened upon them by chance the last time we visited Nashville. And ever since that first bite of the King Kong I’ve never stopped thinking about them. Every person who asks me about places to go to in Nashville I tell them to come here first and as many times as they can during their trip as the doughnuts are THAT good. Even my Lyft driver was envious he was dropping me off here. This site is a bit smaller but the quality is not diminished at all. I just tired the February seasonal Tiramisu and it was perfect! Espresso and chocolate dusted exterior and this pillowy airy chew with a rich cream inside. I don’t know how they do it but it’s always the best!“

“Todo el pan ,flan ,pastel est bien sabroso me encanta“

“Fantastic staff. wonderful coffee. Best place to grab an expresso on hotel row.“

“So no one made contact with me when I came in, the store was kinda dirty looking, the cookies had very poor presentation. Whoever owns that store needs to dress up as someone else and check there store out. The employees are not very friendly at all!!“

“What can you say about Mattheessens? This is the best cookie place in the entire world! Was it the alcohol.... maybe, was it because the cookies are as big as your head..... potentially, was it because the cookies are fresh and absolutely delicious.... definintely!!!! If you are in the Nashville area this is, in my opinion, a place you have to stop at!“

“We live in Wisconsin, and every time we're in town, stopping here is a must. We've been here so many times that it's become one of our traditions—especially on the 4th of July every year. We even go out of our way just to make sure we can stop in!

They have the best ice cream, and our absolute favorite is the brownie bowl with the toasted s'mores ice cream. We talk about it constantly, we're obsessed..

What really sets this place apart, though, is the care that goes into everything. The owner is incredibly passionate about the products they serve, even taking the time to know where the dairy comes from and the Wisconsin cows behind it. That level of thought and quality really shows. They even have vegan options!

We also have to give a huge shoutout to Avenly, Kyle, Jay, and Eden. Every one of them was so kind, welcoming, and genuinely went above and beyond. Their friendliness and excellent customer service are a big reason we keep coming back (aside from the icecream obviously).

If you're anywhere nearby, The Baked Bear is absolutely worth the stop!“

“Absolutely awesome Biscuits. Vegan but you would never know the difference. Opening soon. Go check them out.“

“Such good bagels. Yummy. Go early because they can run out by 11am. They are that good.“

“I love it all. The Donut Den is an adorable, cleverly styled, gathering place with the ambiance of an old school diner! Owner, Dr. Fox, is the kindest man in all the land. His love for our community is baked into everything he, and now his son, put in their beautiful colorful cases. The Apple fritter is amazing🤩 Children seem to favor the sprinkles. But, the glazed donuts and donut holes are my fav. The team behind the counter is fun, and welcoming, contributing to this important Green Hills institution❣️“

“I bought my first order of Baklava from my cousin this weekend. While I initially made the purchase to help out my cousin in her new business, I was literally blown away by the quality. We come from a Greek family, so Baklava was a staple dessert growing up. Never in my life have I tasted a Greek dessert that came even close. After the first bite, I literally had to sit back in my chair, close my eyes, and meditate on how fricken' awesome this pastry was. Can't wait for my next order!“

“The BEST ! =all natural, NO preservatives- & ALL Butter & not vegetable oils or lard!“

“Authentic pastries that we all LOVED. We haven’t been to Paris, so really I’m comparing the pastries to Italy. We have family there and we’re really missing bombas and croissants. My son said the cream filled doughnut thing was so good and filled his bomba needs. I was swayed from the croissants to the coffee cronut and I have zero regrets. All other choices were thoroughly enjoyed. We did get the strawberry croissant to take home and it was fantastic.“

“We chose Homestyle to do our wedding cakes and they did a phenomenal job from start to finish. We thoroughly enjoyed our tasting experience and found we had lots of options for cake, frosting, and filling flavors. All of the cakes, frostings, and fillings we tasted were incredible. Booking them was simple and communications were always clear, responsive, and timely. The wedding cake and groom’s cake at our wedding looked immaculate and tasted even better. Homestyle perfectly captured our vision for the cakes. All of our guests went back for second slices and no one could choose which cake they preferred. Our wedding cake was a four tier almond cake with raspberry filling and almond buttercream and the groom’s cake was cookie dough cake with a chocolate buttercream and chocolate ganache drips and chocolate chip cookies on top. We will be ordering all specialty cakes from Homestyle in the future!“

“the best donut I've ever had, need a location in the Chicago area.“

“Most delicious cakes in town! Highly recommend! Dessert Designs sets the bar high“

“I love the bread from Great Harvest Bakery. I like to go early and get unsliced loaves fresh out of the oven. It reminds me of my childhood in the Caribbean. You have to try their halla and spinach-feta bread. They are delicious. You can tell that the ingredients are quality. The bread stays fresh and the employees will give you extra bags for freezing if you need it. They are very friendly. Always a great experience.“

“Their potato salad, pastasalad, and chicken salad are all delicious. So is the coffee drinks and panines. The staff is friendly. I highly recommend.“

“I had the strawberry cake at Sperrys in Belle Meade… true strawberry cake is not pink, this cake is not pink. I had the cake with my cocktail and it was the perfect combo!! From one baker to another Ann knows her s***** ?“

“a must do when in nashville! you will not be disappointed . the absolute freshest most delicious food ever! everything we ordered was tremendously delicious! service was spot on! and the plant room divider and Decor was so inviting, relaxing and friendly. a thousand stars buttermilk ranch!“

“When we entered Stompin' Grounds for our Father's Day brunch we were greeted by Ha and let me tell you...that was the most energetic and happy greeting I have ever received at a restaurant and the whole party agreed!! Ha was fantastic, not just greeting us, but throughout the rest of the meal and our time at the restaurant! She was constantly coming around to make us smile, but not in an annoying way...she did it so well that we felt special and well taken care of and she really made the morning special. Not only was she funny and energetic, but she was also extremely heartfelt and sincere! Again, something I have never experienced before at a restaurant! The food and service were also incredible!! We will absolutely be back and can't wait! Thank you Ha for such a surprisingly wonderful Father's Day!!“

“Awesome!!! I’ll recommend this place!“

“Had the awesome opportunity to visit Boqueria in our visit to Nashville. The food is just awesome. As lovers of Spanish food, my wife and I were in heaven. Visited every day that we were in Nashville and wish we could be there every weekend. And the people were even better. Our wonderful servers Ellen and Vincent, Chef William, who was kind enough to even come to meet us at our table. All lead by their wonderful General Manager Ashley. They all made our time wonderful. We miss them already. If you’re in Nashville, do yourself a favor and visit Borqueria.“

“I lived in Donelson in the 1990s and made frequent trips to Canada. But I never imagined decades later that my favorite Canadian coffee-shop chain would open an outlet in the heart of Donelson! From the mid-1970s to the summer of 2023, this property hosted a deplorable Krystal, a Nashville expansion project from a Chattanooga-based chain in which I had no interest. But on July 19, 2025, Tim Hortons debuted the state of Tennessee's first location here, converting the old Krystal building from an irrelevant and dated restaurant to a bright and shiny destination for Tim Hortons fans! And now, I can get my Canadian donut fix anytime I want!

Being Tennessee's first isn't the store's only accolade. It's the only Tim Hortons within the Nashville city limits, one of four in the Nashville metro all lying in close proximity in the eastern suburbs. And greatest of all, it's the only Tim Hortons in the first 1,648 miles (70%) of eastbound Highway 70, one of America's longest roads connecting Arizona to the Atlantic Ocean. That makes it the westernmost Tim Hortons on all of Highway 70!

And naturally, the Canadian maple donut is stupendous at this location. All the donuts are delicious, and the service is pretty good (depending on which employees are working). The door handles have hockey sticks, and the signpost out front is topped with a Canadian maple leaf. A mural inside pays tribute to one of the greatest NHL players who founded the company, the late Tim Horton (1930-1974). We're blessed to have Canada's largest fast-food franchise and the world's 25th largest with 6,000+ worldwide locations! It's a nice alternative to the other donut shop chains.“

“I’ve had Crumbl Cookies three times now, and each experience has been delicious. The cookies are consistently fresh, soft, and well-made, and it really feels like you can’t go wrong with any of the rotating flavors.

Favorite Flavors.
A couple that stood out to me in particular were the strawberry shortcake and carrot cake—they were especially flavorful and memorable compared to the rest.

Nutrition & Indulgence Factor.
One thing to keep in mind is that the cookies are definitely rich and fairly high in calories, sugar, and fat, which is pretty typical for oversized gourmet-style cookies.

Because of that, I personally see them as more of a special-occasion treat or occasional indulgence rather than an everyday dessert.

Final Thoughts.
Overall, it’s been a great experience all three times, and I would definitely go back again to try more flavors. If enjoyed in moderation, they’re absolutely worth trying.“

“Robin made cake pops for our wedding and they were FANTASTIC! Every guest said how delicious they were. 7 different flavors and each one was amazing. She is wonderful to work with and we plan to get more from her every anniversary. We could not recommend Cake Pop Heaven more highly. Thank you for making our day so special.“

“We love this bakery! They have a full array of bakery products, artisan breads and croissants. They started out years ago as a wholesale bakery but they are remodeling and will soon have a dine in facility. You don’t want to miss it!“

“I absolutely love everything I have ever gotten here from quiche to charcuterie board, pastries- all divine!a little off the beaten path… but well worth a few extra steps! Lovely staff too.“

“On national cupcake day, I grabbed the deal for the premade mix and icing and it made a perfectly moist cake not too fluffy not to dense, just right, me and my family loved it. It had its own original flavor and we were able to control how much icing we used. We will definitely be buying more and I’m hoping for more flavors to be available soon for baking at home. I’m so glad they ship nationwide.“

“Pretzels were quick, very warm, tasted great, and were cooked quite well. They were a little gooey on the inside and flaky on the outside. The manager was also very nice. I told her I was vegetarian and she made sure to accommodate that and get rid of cross-contamination. They also make it in front of you which is cool.“

“I got some Hatch Chili Soberdough for Christmas. I was skeptical, but i mixed it in an Abita Amber and aged Kerrygold cheese and Holy Cow it was outstanding. This is definitely going to be something I buy and maybe some Christmas presents. Great job!“

“Muy buen lugar tienen muy buena atención y está delicioso todo“

“Reviews didn't lie, prepare to be there awhile. Arrived @9a, paperwork @4pKinda tight backing for a newbie like me and no where to really park and wait, so don't cone early.On the plus side, EVERY SINGLE person I interacted with here was super nice and they all seemed to enjoy working here, which is kinda rare at alot of these shippers/receivers. I would come back again. I think they should have it so you check in by phone and they can call you when a door is opening up. Quite a few trucks came and were told to goto a truck stop and wait for a call.“
