    I stopped by Babychan shortly after arriving in Nashville, looking for a light snack and some tea--and it turned out to be the perfect first stop. The crunchy cabbage and seaweed salad was incredibly flavorful despite its simplicity, with just the right balance of texture and freshness. The karaage was equally impressive--crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and clearly made with care. It was an ideal snack stop! Although it was super busy inside and the patio tables were filled, there were some tables in the plaza where we were able to sit while we enjoyed our food.

    I adored kisser and this lived up to generational standards. WOW! No words. Nothing was below an 8/10. Here's what we tried: -chicken katsu Sando: 9.5/10 - this wasn't too heavy... it was just right. The chicken was crispy even after sitting in the car and the coleslaw was a great pairing. The buttery bread was also just coming through amazingly. -crunchy salad: 9/10 - I thought this was good but my friend absolutely ADORED it. It is very tasty, I will say. Lots of texture, some salty seaweed goodness, and the dressing, whatever it was, was delish. -breakfast sandwich: 9/10 - this was a wild experience... the patty tasted EXACTLY like a dumpling! In a sandwich, it was wild. And the yuzu mayo... just wow. -hazelnut croissant: 9.5/10 - the croissant was perfectly caramelized with sugar. Crunchtastic. The ratio of ganache on top was also amazing (we love chocolate lol). -taro donut: 10/10 - PERFECTION. The perfect texture. So light, both the donut itself and the filling. FILLED TO THE BRIM with lovely and subtle taro filling. -Japanese soufflé cheesecake: 8/10 - I'm not a cheesecake person but the texture was marvelous and the flavor was also fruity / citrusy. Yum! The only "dissapointing" thing were the drinks but that was just because they really just tasted like normal lattes and we expected more excitement and novelty there. Definitely will come back and recommend to everyone I know!

    Strawberry Yuzu lemonade

    Reservations are a must if you are wanting to sit down and eat. They have a line where you can order bakery items and the to-go menu. Went on a Sunday morning around right at 10am and was greeted with a line right at the door but it moved fairly quick. I was able to place an order within 20 mins and another 15 mins to receive the food. Ordered the Strawberry Yuzu lemonades, Beef Curry Rice & Chicken Katsu Sandwich. I've never had beef & curry so good in my life. Very savory but not heavy. The chicken sandwich was fried crispy and the slaw compliments it real nice. The lemonade wasn't super sour and had the right amount of strawberry. Give this place try. The parking garage also has free 1 hour parking.

    Chicken Karaage
    Parnika N.

    If there's one place in Nashville I was both nervous and eager to visit, it's Babychan. Reservations are a good idea if you want to avoid waiting. Location: The café is in one of the most serene parts of the city, overlooking the Cumberland River. They have plenty of parking, and the first hour is free. Bites & Sips: For an appetizer, I ordered the chicken karaage, which came with curry mayo. First of all, the chicken was perfectly crispy, and there were sliced pickled cucumbers on top - just delicious! For mains, my partner ordered the breakfast sandwich, which he devoured in no time. I got the egg curry tart and an onigiri. I really loved the egg tart, which was so flavorful and fresh, and the onigiri was equally delicious. For drinks, my partner ordered the Hokkaido latte, which was quite good, and I had to get the strawberry ceremonial matcha. Unlike many matchas I've had before, the one at Babychan was barely sweet, just the way I like it, with a really premium mouthfeel. Service: I really appreciate how fast the service is! The café handles a huge influx of diners, but the Babychan team does a great job managing everything. I loved Babychan, and it's definitely one of those places that's completely worth the hype.

    A very cozy environment, perfect for morning coffee and a bite. They offer a wide range of Japanese inspired baked goods and coffee. The seating inside filled up pretty quickly, so arrive early if you are with a larger group. The curry egg toast was great. I think I would have enjoyed it even more if there were an option to toast or warm it up. The breakfast sandwich has a nice blend of sweet and savory. I've never had a miso coffee before. Personally, I was not a fan, but I do not think it was objectively bad. It just was not my preferred flavor, but glad I tried it at least.

    One of my new favorite restaurants in Nashville! I love their other restaurant, Kisser, so I knew I needed to try their new spot. As soon as you walk in the host greeted us, and let us know our table would be ready soon. We were sat right at the time of our reservation and greeted by our wonderful server. The interior is small and cozy with inside seating for a full dining experience and tables outside to enjoy treats from their case. We started with the kobocha salad and bonito fries. The salad was perfectly dressed; the tangy dressing balanced out the sweetness of the kobocha. The fries could have had a little more sauce, but the bonito flakes on top added a fun mouthfeel. My partner and I also tried the salmon chirashi bowl, unagi bowl, and doria. The star of the meal was the unagi bowl! The eel was perfectly cooked, topped with crisp cucumber and nori to balance out the umami flavor of the eel. The salmon chirashi bowl was fresh, and perfectly plated so every bite had a mix of toppings. The salmon was delicious. The doria was unlike any dish I'd had before, but was a delightful surprise. The cheesy rice paired perfectly with the seafood flavors. I cant wait to come back and try their pastries and matcha!

    Overall: Really enjoyed the pastries here! It was so nice to have a Japanese bakery here in Nashville and the standouts for me were definitely the matcha (strawberry) and their curry egg tart! Also got the strawberry sandwiches (very filling), the black sesame roll, and savory hot dog bread. Service: Food came out quickly, especially for a larger group like ours -- would recommend making a reservation for indoor seating as it gets pretty busy! Ambiance: Very cute and cozy inside, we came shortly after the snow so it was also nice and warm.

    Shrimp sando
    Christine L.

    Incredible Authentic Japanese bakery and lunch spot!! I've been here a couple of times already and love that there's always something new on the menu. Great seating outside and inside. I made a really good haul this time because every item I got was soooo delicious. On the lunch menu, shrimp sando is a must if you like shrimp. The milk bread is perfectly toasted and the shrimp is full of flavors with scallion and masago eggs. The curry beef rice was so flavorful and everything inside the rice bowl was perfect. I loved this dish a lot. For the pastries, matcha and red bean pastries were reallly delicious. Strong matcha and read bean flavors. The croissants were perfectly crisp and only slightly sweet. If you are looking for a savory dish, get the chili crisp egg puff. Get it heated. Yummm! Super efficient with ordering and waiting for food. I got everything to go, but I can't wait to come back and dine in. The owners Leina and Brian are the absolutely kindest and best! They validate parking too if you dine in for 2 hours and the parking garage already offers 1 hour free without validation.

    Matcha pettanko croissant
    Monica J.

    The shop is a classic cute cafe -- with plenty of seating outside as well. There's an hour free parking in the nearby garage, or free street parking a block over from the store. The staff were friendly! Although it was busy, the service was prompt and kind. Note: proper seating for meals fills quickly! I would recommend making a reservation ahead of time, or preparing to wait a while. We got food from the bakery case instead-- 2 pettanko croissants and the egg curry tart. The pastries were all very well done!! Flavorful, but still flaky and soft. I only wish I got another egg curry tart to go Would definitely recommend !

    Karaage
    Van H.

    We went on a Saturday afternoon at 1pm, didn't have reservations which was a mistake as there was a 1.5 hr wait for a table. It's a little unclear what the setup is when you walk in and it's a tight space so you will probably knock into someone on accident if it's the weekend. However, you could still order at the counter to get food and drinks to go. The seating outdoor is first come first serve and you don't have to get seated, so on a nice day it would have been okay. It just so happened that the day we went it was misty and cold, not their fault of course. We went ahead and ordered food since we were there and had been wanting to try it. I got the Karaage, Bonito Fries, Sausage Roll, and one of the cookies (chocolate, seaweed, sesame seeds), and the Okinawa Latte. Everything came out pretty quickly which was great. The latte was very good, the fries and karaage were too. However, while the food was good they weren't very flavorful. The karaage could have been a little crispier with more seasoning. The fries were well made, but with all the seaweed and the bonito flakes I was expecting more of a flavor bomb. If anything it made me wish the seaweed and bonito was replaced with good old fashioned salt. Same with the cookie, while it was different and inventive, i think I prefer sea salt to the sesame seeds and seaweed. That's just me though, I'm sure others may love that the ingredients aren't the usual. The sausage roll was good, but like everything else not something I'd make a trip back to get again. The service was friendly and everything came out quickly for take out. Not sure about dine in service though. There's 1 hr free parking in the parking garage, not sure if they validate parking for longer.

    Chicken sandwich was ok
    Julina K.

    I had such high hopes, especially after coming back from Japan. We went on a Saturday and the line went all the way outside, it was crazy. We decided to leave and went back on a Monday. We got the egg sandwich, chicken sandwich, fries and that was underwhelming. Now the French onion soup was the best I've ever had. We also got the strawberry sandwich and tasted like nothing. I wanted to love this place so bad but it's just ok for me.

    Yuzu tart
    Musie Y.

    As someone who loves kisser for authentic Japanese food, I knew I had to try Babychan, which is the bakery from the same owners Leina and Brian. Salmon onigiri: very fresh and I love that they separate the seaweed through a plastic wrap from the rice until you're ready to combine them so they don't get soggy. Strawberry matcha: an amazing combo and the strawberries were very fresh. You could tell the matcha is legit and it elevates the pastry for sure. Yuzu tart: INCREDIBLE! If you love yuzu like I do, you must go here and get this. Just the right amount of tart and it's perfection. The crust of the tart is so good as well. Then on top they have the marscapone cream which is also very fresh. I got these to go but I saw they know have sit down with a lunch menu, so I'll have to come back to try those items.

    Crunch salad with chicken katsu
    Robyn J.

    I love this place. I usually just get a fun latte but this time I sat at the window/bar and ordered a salad with chicken. The dressing was sooo flavorful and the salad was full of crunchy goodness. The chicken was good, but lacking in flavor. Next time I want to try the chicken karaage. The iced black sesame latte was also very good- not too sweet.

It wasn't too sweet and didn't have too much ice to the point where it got watered down heavily when the ice melted. It was also a super cute store with greenery and yummy looking pastries. There's not much space to sit inside but they do have outside seating. I definitely recommend this place

If you know, you know. The pastries here are absolutely worth the detour--and honestly, wherever I see a Paris Baguette, I do pull over. That includes locations I've visited in Northern California, North Brunswick, New Jersey, Atlanta, Georgia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and even the one here in Charlotte down in Pineville. It's a bit of a drive for me, but when I'm in that area, I always make a point to stop in and pick up a couple of their delicious croissant-donut pastries and marzipan or almond croissants. That's the beauty of this bakery--it's a chain, yes, but the consistency is what keeps me coming back. I have yet to be disappointed. Of course, I had to stop at this Hilton Head location--and I didn't come empty-handed. Food connects people, and bringing pastries to your host is always a winning move. I picked up three different varieties of their famous croissant-donut style pastries (similar to the well-known cronut): * Chocolate * Tiramisu * Mango And I added two large almond croissants that were beautifully filled, flaky, and indulgent. Everything looked fresh, full, and irresistible. The setup inside is easy and efficient. It's self-serve: you grab a tray, line it with parchment, use the tongs, and select whatever catches your eye--from baguettes to cakes to coffee drinks. Checkout was quick, Apple Pay was accepted, and the whole experience felt smooth and well organized. The space was clean, friendly, and inviting, with plenty of outdoor seating. Bottom line: Whenever you see a Paris Baguette on your radar, pull over. It's dependable, delicious, and perfect for picking up pastries to share--or to treat yourself. For me, it's one of those rare places that delivers the same quality every single time, no matter the city--and that kind of consistency is something I truly appreciate as a traveler and lifelong foodie.
