Love coming here for pastries, coffee, and breakfast! Too many good things about this place: 1. Great value: we ordered 3 drinks (1 specialty), 2 breakfast entrees, and 1 pastry for $31 subtotal. Amazing. 2. Breakfast items come out HOT, TASTY, and flavorful. Anything with eggs on it was so delicious. 3. Outdoor seating feels so nice and relaxed! 4. Baguette is SO yummy. 5. Dozen's Kouign Amann is a perfect blend of chewy, crunch/flaky top, and sweet (Not overly sweet!) Few other things: I didn't entirely love the basil espresso lemonade (the specialty drink) - too many flavors going on, I think. It was on the more savory side. Also, their croissant is decent. Not a great croissant, but passable. Asked for the house-made jam to go with it and that sufficed. Weekends can get busy, but the line moves fast! read more

I just moved to Nashville from San Francisco, and the bakery scene here makes my fat girl heart cry. Thankfully, Dozen Bakery is nearby and doing the heavy duty lifting in the bread dept, and is now a regular place for us to live our Parisian dreams. I'm a grandma stuck in a young woman's body so I'm too old for the brunches on Broadway - Dozen is the perfect place if you actually care about your coffee and food, and can forgo the mimosa for your brunch. My typical order is a half split baguette with butter, avocado, and eggs. Like a good millennial, I make sure to eat my avo toast everyday during the week anyway, just on weekends I get to upgrade my bread to a baguette (this explains why I don't have a house or a car). The eggs at Dozen are unexplainably luxurious even though it is something I indulge in everyday - really that first bite never gets old. They use crema roastery beans for their coffee, I like to get an oat milk cappuccino on weekends but will sometimes opt for a seasonal drink if something catches my eye. Most recently I had a rosemary latte that was absolutely delicious. read more

This place had amazing food and a cute vibe! The staff was friendly and helpful in making the right decision on options. I'm not usually a fan of focaccia bread but theirs was superb! Got one of their seasonal coffee drinks and their focaccia egg sandwich and sat and ate on site. Then prior to leaving ordered a few more goodies for the road. Would highly recommend! It's clearly popular the line moves fast but many ppl in and out and plenty of room to sit both inside and outside. read more

Delicious baked goods! I got a cappuccino, seasonal galette, ham and cheese croissant, almond croissant, and one of their ginger and fruit scones. Everything I had was incredible and the soup and chicken salad that my sister got was very good too read more

Stopped at Dozen as soon as we got into Nashville from Indianapolis. There was construction nearby, so we were a little confused on how to access the bakery, but an officer was in the street and directed us to the nearby parking lot. When we walked in we were greeted, grabbed a menu, and then got in line. Our food came out fast and was delicious. I would definitely recommend this place for breakfast, lunch, coffee, or a quick snack. It also seems like a great meeting and workplace for locals. read more

I've been looking for Almond Croissants and these are very good! I've tried the ham & cheese as well as the herb, caramelized onion, parmesan croissants and recommend all of them if you're a croissant lover. read more

Dozen Bakery - Almond croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I get the high ratings. Dozen represents the local scene well. It's hip, it's modern, it's clean. They've got great products and incredible variety. Most of Nashville's trendiest spots can be found in select parts of town; 12 South, Germantown, the Gulch, Greenwood, Berry Hill. We know the culinary havens well. But Dozen is a bit of a geographical outlier, an anomaly nestled along the railroad tracks near the formerly used Greer Stadium. Obviously Nashvillians have no trouble finding it, and I'm sure Music City will find a way to soon blanket this desolate area with condos, one of the last bastions close to downtown without them. All of the sourdough breads are very good. The herb croissant is deliciously flaky with tons of flavor. The pecan bar was a highlight, with its subtle crust, not too sweet, and its soft layer of pecan filling on top. Personally, the ginger cookie stole the show, the best I've ever had. Soft, chewy, intense with ginger flavor but not overpowering. This was my favorite item. read more

The focaccia egg sandwich is the best thing I have ever tasted in my entire life. no food will ever amount to the level that breakfast sandwich was on. my tastebuds will shrivel and die as soon as they touch any other food because nothing will ever be as good again. I am so depressed bc I ate it way too fast and made the mistake of sharing it with someone. The sun dried tomato pesto on it was exquisite and the honey glaze on the focaccia itself was mouthwatering. I will be back probably tomorrow and everyday after. read more

Food quality is just OK. Kitchen management is amateur, been 3 times and 75 percent of the small menu is unavailable by noon

I'll be honest, when I first walked in the doors here and joined a long line and saw the menu prices for breakfast sandwiches, I was skeptical. However, the closer I got to the display case, the more excited I became. They also have a half wall full of the cutest little goodies (cards, books, gifts, etc) that you pass by in line. They really have a wide variety of breads and sweets that aren't on the menu, but are in the display case and have labels with prices. I ended up getting a bacon cheddar scone and a dark chocolate brownie with snickerdoodle crust on the bottom. Both were really good! There aren't a ton of seats but they have a booth wall with little lap tray tables which ended up being perfect for my friend and I. Next time I think I'll try a baguette sandwich because those looked great! All In all, worth the wait and the hype! Ps there are some chairs and tables outside. There is a paid parking lot next to the building. read more

I most definitely will be back. It's a cute location and seems to be a super hot topic. I have a thing for visiting bakeries whenever we are in a new location and he surprised me with this one. From the moment we pulled up and parked until we left there was a steady flow of customers coming and going. When they say get there early listen and GET THERE EARLY!!! We went on a Sunday and arrived around 1030am and and the options were slim due to the majority of items being sold out. Eventhen we were still able to purchase a few goodies. We left with two baguette loafs, an olive loaf , a slice of pecan pie and a granola bar. Now let me start by saying that the pecan pie was AMAZING !!! I actually should have sent the hubs back in to snag another slice. The wheat baguette is alone or accompanied with avocado and eggs. read more

Cute bakery with a wide variety of sweet treats and savory items! Galette (whole chocolate, honey, almond frangipane): 4/5 The flaky crust and the topping of chocolate and drizzled honey were phenomenal. However, I thought the base of almond frangipane almost weighted everything down and therefore would've preferred more of the chocolate/honey and less of the frangipane. Salad (green bean, chickpea, fennel): 5/5 Loved how fresh and flavorful this was. The chickpeas made it feel substantial, and the peppers mixed in provided just the right amount of heat. Salami Baguette Sandwich: 4/5 Overall, I loved the flavor combination of this sandwich, with the salami being well-supported by the creamy, savory mustard-shallot butter and the slightly crunchy, acidic cornichon (pickles). While the baguette was high-quality with a crispy crust and airy crumb, I thought the bread was a little too thin and would've preferred a higher bread-to-filling ratio. read more

The food is great here but I cant help feel like I am got jipped. Ordered a drink and asked for no ice, health reasons and I get half a cup of drink for $5. What!! Pretty ridiculous and embarrassing they're pinching Pennie's like this. Just fill the cup and go, it's not cutting that far into your profit to provide better perceived value and service read more

Delicious. Only complaint is that it's become too popular. Bread is fantastic in particular, and try the soups.

Like many reviews have mentioned, the bread here is AMAZING! We got the split baguette with avocado YUM. We also ordered a chocolate croissant which barely had any chocolate so that was disappointing. The iced mocha and iced oat milk lattes we got were good. Maybe I'm being a little nit-picky, but initially I was excited about the compostable cups, but as we were leaving I realized there was no collection container for them. Kinda pointless to have commercially compostable cups if there's nowhere to compost them but they still get points for trying :/ We came in on a Thursday morning right after opening. The wait was short, we loved seeing the bread baking process through the glass windows, and the first hour of parking is free! read more

What a refreshing find! A true baguette sandwich with just the right amount of Dijon and cornichon and salami. The baked goods were great. The celery root salad was very fresh and tasty. Will definitely come back when in the area. Great job Dozen Bakery! read more

Love this spot! In the few days we were in Nashville, we came almost every single day. We tried the chocolate croissant, chocolate coffee croissant, croissant pull-part, plain croissant, salami sandwich, egg sandwich, all sorts of cookies, a bunch of sourdough loafs - you really can't go wrong here unless you're calorie counting. The Crema coffee they use is from the best roaster in town too! Can't wait to come back! read more

Why it took me almost 3 years of living in Nashville to come here- I HAVE NO IDEA. Wow, this place is freaking amazing. I've enjoyed their bread when I've purchased it from Whole Foods. But when I tried their breakfast for a sit down meal in their restaurant- my mind was blown. The eggs were perfectly soft scrambled. The bacon was perfectly chewy and cooked just right. The bread was of course 10/10 - perfectly soft, crunchy, and delicious. The only problem- I should have ordered the large baguette breakfast because me and my kids wanted more! Haha! I can't wait to go back to try more menu items! read more

Dozen Bakery - Small Split baguette with eggs and bacon. Butter and peach preserves on the side. LITERAL PERFECTION - Bakeries Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I've enjoyed Dozen Bakery for years! Thru the pandemic they were quick to adapt and have done a great job with both the quality of food and service. Their baked items and sandwiches and quiche... all amazingly good. I do have one significant criticism of late that will give me pause before I come back. That is that wait times for food can be not only far too long but with too little concern on the staff' part. Today I waited 20-25 min in line to order and then waited another 35-40 min for an egg sandwich. Lots of staff busy getting ready to close but none of them able to pitch in to get the food out? Literally no one waiting to order with 4-5 staff doing it's of close prep here & there. A casual "sorry for the wait" as almost an afterthought doesn't do it for me. Hoping they can recognize the glitch and bring it back to a more acceptable level of prep time. read more

Their sourdough is insanely good. Negative stars for the service which is probably the slowest I've ever experienced at a coffee shop and it's consistently slow no matter how long the line is or who is behind the register. The ambiance is cramped and noisy. If there was any way to just buy a loaf of bread, get in and get out my rating would be much higher. I wouldn't recommend this place unless you have all the time in the world on your hands. read more

What a great surprise!!! I was in town for business on my way to do a presentation but I really was craving a good cafe latte. My goat recommended this bakery on our way. Total hole in a wall but so pleasantly surprised!!! The place looks so good and so clean. The almond milk latte with an irresistible chocolate croissant made my day! I actually skipped lunch because I didn't want to ruin my tastebuds from late morning breakfast. I would totally go back!!! read more

Freshly baked bread, pastries, focaccia. As soon as you open the door, you are drawn by a wind of absolute flavorful and freshly baked smells. The chocolate croissant was very flaky and tasty. I dipped it into my cappuccino and it brought back memories of my typical Italian breakfast. I love how they provide a window where you can see backers laying out the dough and being able to see the whole process of baking from beginning to end. The service was outstanding. The cashier was very informative and welcomed me with a cheerful smile and outgoing attitude. The ambiance is perfect for the type of business. Very homie. I'll definitely come back if I happen to be in Nashville again. read more

Dozen is one of the most reliable, lovely places for brunch in Nashville. While you will need to brave a bit of a line on the weekends, I imagine if you come by right during opening or perhaps an odd hour in the afternoon, you should find yourself with ample space in this streamlined, open bakery set-up. The staff are so down-to-earth and efficient, even a long line won't stop you from sampling their delectable baked goods. I highly suggest the sweet galettes. Mine was a thing of beauty, with blood oranges and luscious berries in the middle of perfectly crisp, gorgeous pastry. The main issue here is seating. Since you will have many other patrons vying for space, I think takeaway is a prime option. You will be just as happy in the spring through fall munching down on your farrow salad and pain au chocolat by a park nearby. Happy feasting! read more

If you're wondering why the baguette here tastes so authentic, it's because the baker brought an oven back with her from France. Don't miss. read more

This place has incredible food, lots of different options and fresh baked. Focaccia bread was unbelievable. The only concern I had was it wasn't very wheelchair accessible. The parking lot was gravel with no handicap spot, and street parking would require stairs to get to the building. Would love to see that changed in the future to allow my family to enjoy more often! read more

Love this bakery! I've been countless times and love everything they serve. If I need a baguette for my meat and cheese platter, I run over and grab one. My favorites are as follows: Blueberry Muffin Lemon Lavender Pie Savory Galette Snickerdoodle Cheddar/Bacon Scoes Ham/Cheese Croissants I've taken my friends, guests from out of town, and business partners here. It's delicious and everyone finds something they enjoy. I highly recommend them and love that they are in my neighborhood. read more

Despite its name, my favorite thing about Dozen Bakery was their brunch food. I had their egg in a hole with the hash, and it was absolutely delicious! Their hot sauce didn't add any spice which was confusing, but the overall taste of their food made up for it. They have great indoor and outdoor seating, and I really enjoyed my meal! read more

Dozen Bakery - Egg in a hole - Bakeries Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Used to frequent, almost daily, 2018 or thereabouts. It's not their fault the parking/ crowd /neighborhood is ridiculous at this point and I rarely drive across town for their baguettes anymore. But what is 100% their discretion is service. After waiting 10 minutes in line, the six baguettes that were on the counter were withdrawn. Some miscalculation on their part, they needed them for something else. I needed 2 for a recipe. After an attempt to "steal one" (which does me no good, I told them i need 2) I was told they were also available at other retailers... shame, one of the best baguettes literally in the world. But nah. read more

I never imagined myself to be the person waiting in the parking lot to ensure I got a blueberry muffin on a Saturday morning, yet here we are. Dozen has become our go to spot when we are in town. On my most recent visit the seasonal menu had changed a few days prior. This meant lots of goodies to try. We ordered an egg sandwich, egg in a hole (my favorite), blueberry muffin, pumpkin cranberry muffin, a delightful pear pastry, a s'more croissant, and the seasonal latte. I cannot begin to describe how delicious everything was. The pastry were so buttery, flakey, and filled with flavors that would blow your mind. As stated above, the blueberry muffin is life changing. Don't be shy about the (fall) seasonal latte. It was not too sweet and I love the brightness of the orange zest. As far as atmosphere, they have utilized a narrow space really well. They have both indoor and outdoor dining options. The 3 yr old with us LOVED being able to see the bakery in action through the glass viewing walls. Don't sleep on this place. As a matter of fact, skip sleeping in and be in line when it opens. You won't be sorry! read more

Went in to grab a cookie and there were flies all over the bakery area. They did have a fan that they were using to try to blow them away but it was almost awkward since we all could watch the flies from the line. If this is a reoccurring problem, there needs to be a proper solution. read more

Yummmmmy! Ordered the split baguette with eggs bacon and avo, a blueberry muffin and an iced coffee. Generous portions, prices are a tad steep but you are getting high quality sweets. Will def be back for more goodies! read more

Delicious pastries -- the hardest part is picking a favorite! I was grateful that there was still a wide variety available around 10:30 on a Saturday, as I know sometimes the options at popular spots can get limited by late morning. The line moved quickly, and we picked a blueberry muffin and an herb & Parmesan croissant; both were really tasty. We also ordered espresso drinks, which were expertly made with Crema coffee beans. I was glad to see lots of outdoor seating options, and look forward to lingering a bit longer when it gets warmer. read more

Ok wow! I'm a solid advocate for this place! It's reasonably priced and everything is soooo good. Granted I haven't had everything but everything I have had has been incredible. I doubt you could make a wrong choice here. Pecan bar (is that the name)? It's phenomenal! The flavor is muy bueno and it's so fluffy and delicious. Definitely recommend that! I also had a small split baguette with avocado and scrambled eggs. I can't even explain the goodness that ensued. Husband got the egg sandwich and said it was good. Must note if you're not an avid guac or avocado lover - my husband said it was too much on mine that he's probably just get split baguette with scrambled egg and bacon next time. He said their Creama's black coffee was good. There's a water station and take your dishes when you're finished. Seat yourself. Waitstaff brings out the food. I don't know where to stand on tipping when you basically bus your own tables, anyone? Overall would I recommend, yep! 100!! Can't wait to come back!! read more

You know, I wasn't in love with this place. Based on the reviews, I expected to be, but instead wasn't that into the egg sandwich or the croissants.
