    Donuts

    SUGAR!! we had the Samoa (my fav), strawberry cheesecake, cookies and cream, hot chocolate, and granny's apple pie, and chocolate filled. They were all so yummy! You only need a few bites of them all to fill up fast! But they are all so yummy how would you choose. We were served quickly and the little shop Is so cute.

    I made it here before closing

    9.12.22 Can i say A mazing. This specialty donut shop was incredible. These are some of the BEST donuts in this area by far. I hadn't heard of any contenders nearby. I got a tip from a Yelp elite in the area that this was a must stop in this town and they were completely right. This was a unique, well designed vibrant donut shop with specialty donuts. I loved the colors inside. It was extremely clean and very well kept. Service was amazing as you'd expect it to be and should be. Outstanding. Very kind and pleasant staff. Very outgoing & helpful. The donuts were incredible. Each one had its unique flavor profile. We tried a variety of their top sellers. They had so many to choose from as you can see by the pics that it made it difficult for us to decide. This is where the staff was very helpful in helping us decide from their top selling recommendations. They were instrumental in deciding which ones we wanted and they were spot on. Thanks so much for your help. They have a few parking spots in front and more parking in the lot behind the store. Their prices were comparatively in line with any other specialty donut shop you go to. This isn't your dunkin. Much better on a larger scale. They're doing things right. Keep doing what you do because you're doing it so correct. Thank you for the deliciousness and the memories.

    My husband and I were visiting Chattanooga for a few days and If you're ever in Chattanooga, this donut shop is a must! Sweet people making fresh donuts that make the whole shop smell like donut heaven! We ordered Granny's Apple Pie & Banana Pudding. Both absolutely delicious.

    Before (or after!) walking the bridge, Julie Darling Donuts is the perfect spot to grab a few donuts or snacks and a cup of coffee to stay warm. Coming from Atlanta, there are a lot of different donut options, basically in every neighborhood in town. So Julie Darling had a lot to live up to. Plenty of parking in the private lot out back. They also let us park here for the pedestrian bridge, which I'm not sure is usually allowed, but we asked the lady at the counter and she was fine with it! I was still a little nervous about getting a boot or ticket though... we were fine for an hour or so, though! I've been here twice now, and each time was around the holidays in December - hence, all my pictures and experiences here are holiday themed. They are currently open for dine-in, although I do prefer sitting outside - there are also a couple of outdoor tables if you prefer. They let me bring my pup in - so that was a huge score for JDD! I have tried the coffee (just ok) and some donuts, which have always been soft and fluffy. The cake donuts are also just ok - but the yeast donuts are delicious. The banana pudding donut was a little sweet for me but is perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth! I also noticed this time the donut sundae - because why the heck not?! I don't mind taking my donut a la mode!! Definitely plenty of dessert options here, whether you choose a donut, a coffee or ice cream. PS: if you're looking at my pictures. i just can't believe how much my photography has improved from last year until now!!

    The donuts are awesome! First time trying this place. I ordered the chocolate pie donut. The filling was awesome.

    Yummy

    I drove down the street 3 times and still couldn't find this place. The map here on yelp is a lil wonky. But they are near the corner of Fraser Ave and Forest Ave. It is right next to a child's Garden, Emmaline's, and Tattoo. I am glad that I checked this place out. I think I saw it on a youtube video of places to check out. The past 3 days I wasn't able to come before closing. They had a bunch of different flavors that you will have a hard time just picking one, or 3, lol. I had the strawberry cheesecake and the apple pie one. The strawberry one was strawberry middle and cream cheese frosting. the frosting was way too sweet we just wiped it off the donuts. But they were nice and soft with great flavor.

    Holy Donuts GALORE!! Super fun find and, if you're into donuts, a must try! We passed this location on our way into town and decided to give it a go as we were leaving the area early morning time. Staff was busy restocking donuts and organizing the cases. Everything was being made fresh. If you know me, you know I'm a fan of the classic glazed donut. So of course I got one of those here. We also tried the raspberry and banana donuts. The space itself is super fun, much larger than it appears from the outside. If we had the time it would have been a great space to just sit and enjoy the donuts onsite. They have a custom coffee station (see pics) if you want to add flavors, sugars or creamers to your coffee! Staff here is really helpful and quick to offer up advice on donut choices and most popular options. Overall: A Kick your morning off with a sugary sweet treat!

    Copy of receipt for order that they cancelled without notice!!!

    Worst customer service EVER!!! I placed an order via Uber Eats for 8 dozen donuts to be delivered--as a surprise to a potential client's business. Order totaled over $230!!! Julie Darling cancelled the order without notice. When I called to inquire...I was told that my order would have "wiped out their case and they wouldn't have anything left to sell". I then asked --isn't that the goal...to sell all of your product each day? She hung up on me. Very dissatisfied! Pissed...especially since my objective to differentiate myself from the competition was foiled by impersonal, RUDE, and indifferent treatment. Bad choice!!! DO NOT Recommend!!! Simply TRAGIC!!!

    Was super hyped to get to this place- went on an early Saturday morning - and donuts were probably 1-2 Days old. You can tell by the glaze and just the overall "stale" feel of the donuts. Facilities looked super cute, the poor staff looked tired and stale like the donuts. I may try again but when I find out the donuts are freshest.

    1/2 dozen gourmet $8.95

    Great place and great donuts! Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant is spacious and has plenty of seating. Limited parking. Came by here to get a half dozen donuts to go. They offer cake and yeast donuts and a wide variety of flavors. It was hard to narrow it down to 6! We ordered the following: Sour cream cake Caramel Red velvet Oreo Key lime Banana pudding All 6 for $8.95. I brought them home to share with whole family and we really enjoyed them! The flavors were on point. They taste as good as they look! The fam favorites were key lime and banana pudding.

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!

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.

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.

    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!

    Please take this review with a grain of salt. Today was probably not an exemplary day for Milk &…read moreHoney. Mother's Days are challenging, but I think where they hurt themselves the most is that they do not have a method to take reservations or even call ahead seating. Wait times were often in excess of an hour listening to other people waiting to be seated. That's a horrible experience on its face, and the management of this restaurant needs to do much much better or just close on Mother's Day. Next, we'll get to the food. I doubt it was a shining example of what they are capable of. I got the Shakshuka and it was mediocre. I'm not expecting it to be as good as what I would get in Tel Aviv, and I've had the real thing in Tel Aviv. But to be honest, the eggs came out nearly hard-boiled not poached. And the eggs are one of the stars of the show for this dish. If you don't get them right, the entire dish fails. Next will touch on the chicken and waffles. The observation from my tablemate was that it was dry and he didn't even eat it all. The same thing can be said for my other tablemate who had the chicken biscuit. The biscuit was exemplary, but the chicken was dry and actually overcooked. Then there were the omelettes, I don't believe they were impressive in any way and the people that ordered them agree. For those of us at the table that ordered coffee, it was rather strong. I normally like strong coffee, but this was borderline Turkish coffee, and there wasn't enough cream available to mask the potency. The service was also stretched thin. Our server, Destiny, did her best, but she was waiting too many tables. Having once been a waitermyself I have a special affinity for Service staff who are asked to do too much. We left her a good tip, but I'm sure she is capable of much better service than what she was allowed to deliver. Finally, the overwhelming crowd made the restaurant feel claustrophobic. The noise level was far too high, and we could barely hear one another at our table and we were sitting very close to one another. I don't place the blame on the kitchen, staff, or the wait staff, or even the greeters. This was a fail of management, plain and simple. They made no contingency plans for that many people and should have anticipated a larger crowd on Mother's Day. Management -I challenge you to do better!!! We will come back during a normal Service day to see if you can perform better, but I encourage you, as owners and managers, to stop setting your staff up for failure, which is what you did!
