The Hot Chocolatier is AMAZING! I'm from the area, and I just never have been able to get to it…read morebefore closing time. Well, I got to go today. I got the S'mores Hot Chocolate. My husband got the Lavender White Chocolate. Both were PHENOMENAL!!! The BEST hot chocolate I've ever had! Even better than my ex-MIL's!!! So freaking GOOD!! The barista who helped us was so kind and so helpful. We would have never tried anything lavender. The place had a really cool vibe. Get yourself to the Hot Chocolatier, PRONTO!!!

I'll start by saying I ordered the white hot chocolate and squirrel cheesecake to go because we…read morewere wandering around town sightseeing. Staff was friendly. There were a lot of options as far as flavors, sizes, toppings, etc. I stuck with a 12 oz white hot chocolate with whipped cream. Now the white hot chocolate was fantastic. It was real white chocolate and it was a nice bit of sweetness. But the cheesecake was unfortunately disappointing. I don't know if it was over baked or over beaten or what but it had a rubbery jello like texture that's not appealing in the mouth when expecting something different. I could only have two bites before giving up on the $9 slice. I'm torn on this review. And this is because I was so excited and hopeful to try the cute hot chocolate place with desserts that I wanted to love it. But was so disappointed with my dessert. The hot chocolate was fantastic and that being their key thing is what I would try again. But I'd probably never reorder a baked dessert from them as they are not necessarily cheap and I wouldn't want to be disappointed when there are other treat options around the area. The space itself is mountainy fun candy cottage vibe. Serves the purpose of having somewhere to enjoy the treats you've ordered inside.

Cupcake kitchen rocks! Hard to choose from yummy flavors they offer. I ordered 60 cupcakes for my…read moreson's rehearsal dinner, a mix of regular sized and mini cupcakes in red velvet, Oreo, Lemon Drop, wedding cake, carrot cake, milk chocolate and vanilla. All were a hit!! I also ordered 18 cookies, oatmeal, snickerdoodle and caramel cookies, all which were individually wrapped. My large order was exactly as I requested. The cookies were individually wrapped which was a plus. The cupcakes were perfectly packaged for transport. Our guests raved about the treats! They tasted fabulous!

I walked into Cupcake Kitchen fully intending to "just look," and walked out with a 6-pack of…read morecupcakes and absolutely no regrets (except maybe that I didn't get the 12-pack). The smell alone deserves its own Michelin star. I'm pretty sure I gained 3 pounds just inhaling. The cupcakes? Fluffy little clouds of joy. The frosting? So smooth it could negotiate world peace. The staff? Friendly enough to convince you that an extra cupcake is a responsible life choice--honestly, they're not wrong. My personal favorite was the cookies and cream, which tasted like it was handcrafted by cheerful woodland creatures with perfect credit scores. I would like this cupcake at my birthday, my wedding, and my funeral. In conclusion: Cupcake Kitchen is dangerous... in a "I suddenly understand why people write poetry about dessert" kind of way. Highly recommend. Will be returning. Probably tomorrow. Maybe tonight.

On my recent adventure to Chattanooga, my friend told me that I had to try Niedlov's Bakery, and it…read morewas truly everything it was described to be. I was hesitant when we arrived, seeing a line out the door and around the corner. However that line moved so fasts Nied did amazing getting people in and out. They had a huge selection of merch that was themed perfect to their mission and goals. The "We're all bread inside" design was probably my favorite. For meals, I got the Niedlov's Breakfast and my friend got the Ham and Gruyère Skillet. I loved what I got, but when I go again I think I will try a skillet because they all smelled amazing! I also got a Gruyère Bacon Chive Scone and a Orange Pan Suisse to take on the road. Both were outstanding. For my drink, I got one of their Blueberry Basil Matcha. I was a little nervous about the basil, but I can genuinely say it was my favorite drink of my entire trip. Lastly I want to say a special thank you to the staff. We thought we weren't going to be able to find a table, but when we found one at the last second, they actually offered to switch my meal to a skillet since they can't do those to go. Absolutely a five star experience and I am already anticipating my next visit.

I was in town for a work trip, and this bakery was very close to my hotel. Stopped in the first…read moremorning and got a pastry, biscuit sandwich, and a hot latte to go. That was so good, I went back the second day and ate in. That day I tried their breakfast plate, and that was excellent. High praise for the bacon, which comes from the butcher shop next door. The fried potatoes were also great! I opted for their sourdough toast, and enjoyed it so much I got a loaf to take home when I left. Their coffee drinks are very good - I enjoyed my latte both days. Service was very prompt - you order at the counter and they will bring food to your table. I was there mid-morning on a Friday, and it was packed! It's a really nice vibe, with an outdoor patio and the indoor seating area. After eating here, I can understand why they were nominated for a James Beard award. If you are ever in Chattanooga, this is worth the effort! 5/5, would absolutely go back!

This bakery wasn't huge, but the selection of both loaves and pastries was intriguing. A few other…read morelocal products dotted the shelves. They were not speedy and there was a line, but that did give me time to eye the various options. Their cookies were impressive, and I noted a little girl asking her mother for a garam masala cookie to some disagreement. I bought one and it was well-received; the more conventional chocolate and salted chocolate chip cookies were also delicious. Progressively better were my bear claw dusted with brown sugar and filled with an indescribable fruity mixture, and my cheesy grit loaf, which was every bit as savory as it sounds. The selection was definitely worth driving up from downtown.

Milk & Honey is known as the best of the best for brunch in Chattanooga, and after eating here I…read morestand by that statement. I remember back in the day when Milk & Honey had late hours. One time my parents and I came here after dinner for their gelato, and it was so delicious. We were all very impressed with the consistency and how smooth it was. So I've only had their gelato after all these years. This time I came for brunch with a friend on Sunday morning. It was packed and we got on the waiting list for a table. Wait time wasn't too bad actually. My friend and I both ordered the Hodgepodge Hash and I subbed the sausage for chicken sausage. Everything was absolutely amazing. I wish I had come here sooner. I loved everything about my meal. It was flavorful, dynamic, full of texture. It had that spice from the serrano peppers, crispy and flavorful potatoes, and the sauce tied it all together. I love savory breakfast, and that was it. Now I'm hungry and missing my previous meal just writing about it haha. Afterwards, we got gelato! I was pleasantly surprised that the gelato came with two scoops because I originally just wanted the coffee flavored one. So I had a scoop of Coffee + Cream and Pistachio. Our gelato was so tasty. I love anything coffee so this one was good, and the Pistachio one was nice and light. It had a subtle Pistachio creamy taste. Just as before, the gelato was smooth, creamy, and full of flavor. Service was great, our waiter was very friendly and super helpful with our food preferences. I have no complaints at all about our experience, and I love every single thing we ordered. I can't imagine a better place to spend Sunday brunch. I look forward to the next time I'm back, thank you!

I walked into this store with my mom while visiting the city and was not greeted for a long time…read more We were never greeted as we should have. I was yelled at by the clerk telling me to stop recording her. I was not recording her, I was talking on FaceTime with my brother showing him the city and the Icecream shop. The way this lady spoke to me was rude and disrespectful. I understand not wanting to be recorded, but it's about how you speak to people when you are in a service position. I told her we would not patronize the shop and my mom and I left. The tone and look on her face was not welcoming and had no kindness to it. I strongly believe if I were not black, the way she spoke to us would have been different. I know when the anger from a person is unwarranted and comes from a place of hate. I was taken aback, but happy I stayed classy and left and now I'm sharing this story with you so that you can avoid this type of treatment.

We got there mid-morning on a Monday and lucked out with street parking right in front. It was also…read morepretty quiet inside. I got a biscuit, egg, and cheese sandwich which was delicious! The biscuit was very good and there was a big piece of egg and lots of cheese. I'll admit I burnt my mouth eating it too fast. I thought the price was high but comparable to costs these days and yummy enough to be worth it. It also took quite awhile to be made. I got the Self Portrait, which was delicious and worth the visit by itself. Just the right amount of sweetness. My gf got the St. Tropez pastry, which she didn't love. She said the cream inside was cold and disappointing. I ended up stopping back in after going to the art museum because I really wanted to try a croissant (I meant to order it for my breakfast sandwich, but apparently my brain was on biscuit). It was VERY crowded and the line moved slowly. They were telling people ahead of me that it would be 30+ minutes for anything from the kitchen. The croissant was good, nothing special though.

Orders are placed at the counter and then your food is brought to your table. Service is prompt and friendly. Rembrandt's is located in the heart of the arts district and you can browse museums and galleries after lunch. We both had the tomato artichoke soup and it was the best tomato soup I've ever had. The soup had plenty of basil and the artichokes added a nice twist. The bowls are huge and the portion is large, plenty enough for lunch. It's served with a soft roll and all their bread is baked in-house. The pastries are incredibly delicious as well!

You can tell they're made with care, not just churned out for volume. The texture was spot on--soft and tender, not greasy or heavy--and the flavors tasted clean and well-balanced. This is the kind of place where one donut easily turns into two because everything looks and smells so good. If you're looking for a genuinely enjoyable donut experience that feels thoughtfully done rather than mass-produced, this place is well worth the stop.
