So good, we went twice! The 1st time, we walked in. Then a few days later, we pre-ordered for the drive back to Orlando. The pre-order went very smoothly. Our box of yumminess was waiting when I walked in. read more

I like bake shops with convenient parking, like Bright Side. I appreciate the range of baked goods they had on display for such a small and cozy cafe. The team was warm and welcoming. I ordered the Prosciutto Gruyère Croissant and the Almond Chocolate Croissant. The croissants were flaky and fresh. I liked the Prosciutto Gruyère Croissant, but the Almond Chocolate Croissant was too sweet for me. The almond frangipane tasted strongly of almond extract, almost giving it an artificial taste. Nonetheless, it was a nice, quick experience. read more

Pastries are my love language so I had to drop in to snag one from Brightside on a Friday morning. I was greeted with a warm smile and advised on which to pick as they all looked amazing! I opted for the limited berry pastry which reminded me of a bear claw. The pastry itself was really flaky and perfectly baked, the inside reminded me of inside an almond croissant, I was a bit underwhelmed with the berry flavor and am overall rating as 4/5 due to the over sweetness. It was topped with sugar as well as a white glazed icing drizzle. I feel one or the other would've been better. I definitely look forward to stopping in again to try another treat! For about $7 after tax/tip it definitely is a splurge. read more

OMG OMG It's a must for me when traveling to look up and find a local bakery for a morning meal. I usually trust in my YELP community and boy did they come through on this spot. I ordered a mixed bag for the house and they were all looked amazing and were so delicious. My favorite was the everything croissant. The staff were so delightful and pleasant. Please supporting this amazing bakery. Brightside thank you for a wonderful experience. read more

Such a good little bakery, a little hidden.. so keep your eyes peeled. Very minimalist space but your tastebuds will heighten enough senses for all of you. Try the sunshine roll & the sausage and cheese muffin. read more

Cute little bakery! I have a long-time love of croissants and always get excited when I see unique flavor variations. So Brightside definitely put me on the bright side this morning Ultimately I decided to try something special and unique the Sunshine Roll while also sticking with a classic croissant. I was really happy with both! There wasn't seating available inside, only a few 2-seater tables outside. But we enjoyed those since the weather was really nice. read more

YUM. Chocolate croissant was the perfect balance of sweet and salty. Micro-shop without seating -- but might I suggest a quick drive to enjoy your pastries at Shelby Park. And to top it all off, staff is so friendly, helpful, and welcoming. read more

This place is getting fantastic reviews for a reason! I walked in and was greeted with a plethora of baked goods to look at and drool over. I ordered and was out of the shop in about 1 minute total. My two choices were the - Oatmeal cream pie croissant - Cinnaroll bread pudding The Oatmeal cream pie was surprisingly like the real thing. They couldn't of nailed this more so props to that. The Cinnaroll bread pudding was just delicious bread pudding with a kick of cinnamon and icing in what looks like a muffin. Truly a delicious treat to start the morning. I will definitely be swinging by here again to get more baked treats! read more

Stopped in for a quick breakfast. It's very small-only so don't plan on sitting down and spending time there (which I mistakenly had planned on). They also don't really have coffee- just filtered hot coffee and three canned options. I just gut the canned oat milk nitro coffee and a croissant- croissants are my favorite food, and this croissant was perfection the oat milk nitro coffee was pretty good too. Great service as well- very speedy! read more

Got a TON of pastries from here, including various croissants, brioches, and cookies. My favorite was probably the 3-cheese brioche (I tried the sausage and cheese on too but the sausage was dry and didn't add much flavor) and the everything croissant. All the sweet ones were a bit too sweet for me, especially the cookies. Interesting fall flavors though. Croissants weren't flaky which was disappointing, and the chocolate croissant just had chocolate drizzle and not chocolate inside? What. Or if it had chocolate inside, it was very, very little. Ordered online for pickup the next morning, pastries are on the expensive side. read more

I've been following Brightside on Instagram for months and I finally got a chance to go last week. I recommend ordering online if there's something you really have your eye on, because things go fast here. We came around 10am on a Thursday and they were already over half cleared out. I got a ham brioche bun and it looked good, but It tasted even better! I didn't love the chives, but otherwise it really was an excellent pastry. I will definitely come back and try some other things! read more

SOMEONE DISCOVER THIS ANGEL VOICE!! (keep reading)I'm in town visiting family. I went for a morning walk and found Brightside Bakeshop. What a quaint little shop. I only grabbed a coffee, but boy did it hit the spot! Dark rich flavors that really came forward with a hint of sugar and cream. There were 3 delightful folks behind the counter: Chatty and friendly but focused on service. One of them began to sing along with the music playing in the background. Her voice was angelic! Clear, lovely, not over powering. She blended perfectly with the tunes overhead. It really drew me in. So much so that I hung around the coffee station longer than necessary just to enjoy her gift. If I'm in town again-I'm definitely stopping by. read more

We ordered the chocolate almond croissant and was quite disappointed. The croissant was soggy, lacked almond paste inside, and the chocolate drizzle tasted like Hershey syrup. Perhaps we ordered the wrong item, but this croissant was not worth the stop. The staff was however very friendly. read more

I almost want to say don't come here just so I can gatekeep lol! This place is so good. My first time at Brightside and I got the everything bagel croissant (so good I forgot to take a picture). Definitely a must try!!! read more

I would say if I could have had my muffin warmed up I could see myself coming back for more. The items were all cold and the place was not able to warm it up c bc they ddint have any equipment. So im guessing most ppl pick up & take home and warm it up themselves? Either way, was just disappointed to eat the sausage and cheese brioche looking muffin cold. My cousins said when warm its pretty amazing. Cashier was very nice. read more

While vacationing in Nashville, I scored finding a small batch local bakery that chose my favorite ingredients, cinnamon and sugar as their signature ingredients! I highly recommend ordering online in advance to ensure you get the baked goodies you want as this place is tremendously popular. As I come from a baking background, it is very challenging to wow me and I was very impressed. Fresh and Tasty. When back in Nashville, you better believe I will visit Brightside Bakeshop again. read more

Made a quick pit stop on the way back home. A came late morning and many things were sold out, according to the employee, but still plentiful options of savory and sweet, pastries and cookies. I went with the good ole chocolate chip cookie. It was $3 for a hefty size cookie. It was very tasty, had hints of coffee if my taste buds were working correctly. I also got an everything bagel seasoned pastry of some sort. I forget the name. It was around $6. Both were incredibly tasty and the service was great. This place is meant for grab-n-go, not to sit down from what I saw. Would def recommend! read more

I heard that this spot was tops for a croissant in town, so popped over when my regular spot fell through, and boy was I glad I did! They have a standard sweet and savory offering, and a specials offering. I went with the shopkeep's recommendation of their special upside down pineapple treat and I was expecting to find it overly sweet and ya know, fine, but from bite one I was so delighted. The softness and the crunchy bits of the pastry were a delight, the sweet of the pineapple was balanced harmoniously with a cream cheese in the middle. Nothing about it was too much, every bite was perfection. Highly recommend. read more

Every pastry or dessert we've had from here is delicious. The service is always pleasant. There is no seating, more of a walk in and grab to go kinda place. I think that's what I love about it, you know you're going to walk in, pick out a few items from that day's offerings, and leave within five minutes, AND love what you get. read more

They sell out of a lot of things fast in the mornings because they're so good! Everyone there is nice and the baked goods taste fantastic!

I came here with my boyfriend during a trip to Nashville and these baked goods were by far the best I've had here in the states! Literally the croissants and dough in general they make is absolutely out of this world ! I think the prices are actually very good as well for the quality. As someone who has traveled and tried baked goods from all over Europe these are easily just as good! I definitely would come here and get a few things like I did to have a bit of sweet and a bit of savory. The staff was also very nice and helpful as I asked them about a lot of the items read more

At first, I thought "this bakery has a straight 5 stars... I'm definitely trying this place out"... And let me tell you... one bite into the almond croissant and it brought me back to Sicily, Italy and the pistachio croissant that Sicily is so well known for! Pure bliss!!! They have certain pastries that are only made in the weekends... And it looked like their phone/online orders are going well so don't wait too long in the day so you have a choice... read more

My FAVORITE bakery in town! I wish they were opened past noon, but it's worth it to get up and get out for pastries this perfect. The interior is tiny, but the service is friendly and there is good variety in the pastry case. The sausage and cheese brioche is savory and delicious, I also tried the cinnamon brioche as a sweet and creamy alternative. 100/10 read more

Outstanding customer service and incredible homemade pastries. The selection is amazing and you will be able to find something for everyone. Sweet & Savory Croissants, Brioche Rolls, Danish, and seasonal options. The staff is so friendly and takes the time to describe each item...you can see how much talent and love goes into the entire process. I love the cute retro Bandannas and T-shirts. Definitely a must try for out of town guests! read more

This is only the second bakery I have visited where I have been impressed with the service, quality and where every item is delicious! The other one is in Portland Maine, so unless you're going on a trip this should be your only bakery you visit in the city. The absolute best gigantic chocolate chip cookies and the apple puff tart is a flaky buttery sin. I hate frittatas, but their take on the classic is to die for. This is a Nashville - must! read more

This bakery deserves 11 stars because it goes to 11! I stopped here after an hour of cardio this morning thinking I would "just get one little treat." Yeah, right. Instead, I got talked into the churro croissant and a sausage and cheddar brioche. Both were out of this world but I feel like I have a brick in my stomach at present. I'll be eating chicken broth for dinner! I'm more a savory girl, but I definitely favored the churro croissant. It's just so decadent, buttery and not overly sweet except for the sugar dusted on top. I wanted another one. The brioche was also decadent and delicious, full of cheddar cheese and sausage bits, but I still wanted more churro croissant even as my stomach expanded four inches. Go get your a croissant here, savory or sweet, or be gluttonous like me and get both. I'm sure you can't go wrong with anything, but that churro croissant is definitely worth the hype. Parking is plentiful and service was spot on - both sweet gals behind the counter made ordering fun. They also both wore masks, as did I. read more

Excellent bakery! The croissants are perfectly baked, friendly staff and a great location!

Brightside is amazing! These are the best pastries I've had since I've had since I've been in Italy. Flakey, light, and perfect. And I love that they have a rotating menu; keep some change some. It's perfect. I recommend this shop to everyone! Make sure you order the day before. The items are posted at 3pm the day before for ordering and you will most likely not get anything if you just walk up to the window. The staff has always been so nice too. Great place all around. read more

Brightside Bakeshop will be your happiest place EVER! Brightside Bakeshop has perfected the pastry game and the minute you walk in you can smell the perfection. The second your teeth sink into the flakey pastry you will taste perfection! I swear her secret ingredient must me LOVE & PERFECTION. I came in on a Sunday around 9:30ish and the churro croissant and the croissant were all ready SOLD OUT! But my buttery gluten heart didn't dispair for long because there was so many delicious choices to choose from. Both locations have great parking. Due to COVID they have a curbside/online system that I personally appreciate. Look out for their seasonal pastries that emphasis on a local seasonal fruits. They also have their year round sweet and savory staples. Brightside Bakery WILL.NOT.DISSAPPOINT! read more

If you're on a diet of any sorts, save Brightside for your cheat day, save your calories, whatever. It'll be worth it. They're delicious. Their pastries are light and fluffy and the croissants are out of this world. My personal favorite is the chocolate almond croissant (only available on weekends) and the churro croissant, which is about as big as your head. The savory pastries are delicious too. Just try them all. You simply can't go wrong. Preorder the day before to ensure what you want is available! And don't forget to tip your baker! read more

Any morning with Brightside Bakeshop is a good morning! I mostly patronize the West location, but occasionally when the online selection is broader here (my favorites are the cinnaroll, sticky pecan roll, sausage and cheddar brioche, and the seasonal s'mores brioche) I will come East. Both are great and friendly. I love the selection of both savory and sweet pastries, none of which skimp on the good stuff: for example, there is a lot of sausage and cheese in the savory brioche, and the cinnaroll has a generous dollop of cream cheese frosting. read more

I'm speechless. After eyeing up BB for over a year, I decided to try them out and support local during these odd times. And who doesn't love sweets for breakfast? (Not to mention they also have a savory selection). I ordered 3 items: cinnaroll, caramel pecan sticky buns, and a double chocolate roll. With tip and tax it came to about $17. So it adds up, but I believe the quality reflects the pricing. They are a little hard to spot, but can be found in the little shop section at porter and Eastland. They are the middle location that sticks out into the free parking lot. I took one bite into the cinnaroll and I was immersed in decadent creamy flavors and a rich yet not too sweet roll. Soft yet not too soft. Everything had the right combination. Definitely my favorite cinnaroll in all of Nashville! I'm happy I finally tried them out and I will definitely be back even if my waistline prefers me not to! read more

It is no surprise to me that this bake shop is 5 stars. The pastries are so fresh and high quality. This is definitely a hidden gem in Nashville. Also there staff has a friendliness the eclipses mere customer service. It is more like an oasis of kindness and human to human care which makes them one of the warmest and enjoyable shops to enter. They are a genuine blessing to the neighborhood they reside in. read more

Brightside Bakeshop is one of the absolute best and most creative bakeries I have found in Nashville. I wish there was a higher rating than 5 stars! The first time I went in I didn't know much about them. I saw a few of their beautiful pastries on Instagram and that alone sold me on giving it a try. Unfortunately for me is I hadn't been paying enough attention to realize that they sell out, and QUICKLY! By the time I rolled in around 10:30 am there was only about half the selection left. I went with a savory ham and cheese croissant, the berries & cream (seasonal, no longer available at least this year), and the cinnamon bread pudding. To say I was blown away is an understatement, and to prove that I'll list the others I've tried: chocolate croissant, almond croissant, sunshine roll, southern croissant (another seasonal with fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese), cinnamon roll....seriously the list goes on and on. On top of that, the staff is amazing. The bakeshop gets busy early on the weekends, but they do not rush you and will take the extra time to explain the offerings or make recommendations. I 100% recommend everyone checks out Brightside, go in early, and get yourself at least one savory and one sweet. You will not be disappointed! read more
