    We found this lovely ice cream shop traveling the backroads home from Nashville.
    Michelle S.

    We love traveling the backroads! We found this lovely icecream shop in the way home from Nashville. Looks like it may have been an old gas station at one time. Now it's a local sweet shop! The service was quick. They were very busy and had three young staff members scooping up the icecream. My husband created a salted Carmel shake wirh Carmel sauce and loved it. I ordered my usual- a chocolate malt made with vanilla icecream and it didn't disappoint. They also service coffee and the huge cinnamon roll with butter cream icecream as their signature dish! It's worth getting off the highway to stop here! You can sit outside with your family on the picnic tables. They even have a drive through window

    You can see the raw dough between the layer.

    When I got home the cinnamon rolls we had bought on the home from Nashville were smaller than usual and not fluffy. They were not done. When we tasted them there was raw dough in the rings.

    Oatmeal wooly cookie. So yummy

    Found this treasure by chance on our way out of Nashville. The ice cream (we had fresh peach, strawberry, Tennessee fudge, 3x brownie, and sweet cream) was fresh and delicious. The servings were generous. Definitely worth a stop!

    Small ice cream cups!

    We just moved here from out of the city and are so excited to have a good, solid coffee option. The ice cream options were extensive, including dairy free, which we are! I also got the Chocolate Hershey cake and it was incredible! The cookies are awesome; we literally have nothing bad to say about our visit. Can't wait to experience this place during the summer! They have a great patio.

    Ice cream

    Friendly service. Amazing ice cream and coffee drinks. The Enormous cinnamon rolls are to die for. They offer dine in, drive thru and delivery.

    Coffee

    well it was a beautiful Sunday afternoon and couldn't wait to get my coffee! however I don't typically go to golly Gs for coffee but I do for ice cream. they happened to be the only one open for coffee in my area on this stormy day. as I was greeted by the gentleman I was pleased with how kind he was and took my order. I proceeded to wait. then wait again. then shut my truck off because of how much I was waiting. Took 30 mins to get these. I then almost became discontent with the situation but I refrained and thought I was simply forgotten about. he came to the window and gave me my coffees and I had 2 little sips but yet so much still to be filled in the $6 12 oz. cup.. one might say I'm a half glass empty type of person, basked on this review, but I assure you I'm not. I can say I may be back here for ice cream but if you want coffee I'd recommend even Starbucks or even Chick-fil-A on a Sunday in this case. The coffee definitely tasted like it was made yesterday and thrown into the microwave. I then remember how long I waited and surely that isn't the case. So I ask what's really going on here?

    Baked on 8th has delicious treats of all kinds. This is a must for me if I'm in the area…read more The shop is easy to spot with their colorful building and mural. They have a parking lot with free parking on the side of the building. It's a huge bonus that it's quick and easy to park. The shop has several cases that are always packed with a variety of treats. They have whole cakes, cake slices, decorated cookies, sweet scones, savory scones, rice krispy bars, seven layer bars, lemon bars, muffins, several types of cookies, and more. Even when I have arrived in the middle of the day the cases have been full and still have a great variety. I have loved everything I have tried here. My favorites are the rice krispy treats (especially the fruity one), the dolly bar, the almond cookie, and scones. The cake slices are delicious, but very rich. We split this into two or three pieces. They also have a shop next door that has a lot of cute party and gift items. If you have a sweet tooth then you need to check out Baked on 8th.

They don't have the flake of a croissant or the light airy vibe of a yeast donut. I also tried the Strawberry Fields, Milk Chocolate, Blueberry Lemon and the Chocolate Sea Salt. The Blueberry Lemon was good the first day, but it seemed that the donuts don't hold up beyond fresh. I feel that may have changed my opinion on some of the other flavors. However, the vanilla crème was good the next day. I conclude they are not my favorite and I would probably stop in for something special to get the Purist or the Vanilla Crème. It was definitely an experience. I'm glad I tried them. However, I think I'm super spoiled by my pastry shoppes in the city and my favorite Amish bakers on the Shore. The shoppe was cute and the service was fine. No complaints. It's nice to know they have an ingredient list to check, I appreciated that. I'd say give them a try because I definitely think it's a preference because the locals raved.

I love the newer location, as the space is larger and there is ample parking. The bakery can get very busy, so I always plan to come early.

I have tried their regular sourdough loaf, which is really good, but my current favorite is their olive & herb sourdough.

Having formerly sampled their baked goods and baguette, we approached with some expectation, for those had proved most agreeable. Upon our arrival, Darcy and I were informed that the supply of pastries was nearly exhausted: a circumstance I bore with easy composure, as we intended only for coffee. Yet thereafter, I regret to say, the experience fell somewhat short. My cappuccino was deficient in froth and served with less warmth than one might wish, rendering it rather uninspiring. The interior, though neat, is so spare and restrained in its decoration as to verge upon the austere, and lacks that ease and comfort which invite one to linger. It is not, I think, among the more hospitable establishments we have encountered in Nashville. Though I would not hesitate to return for their baked offerings, I cannot suppose it would become a favored place for repose or refreshment.
