I had the best sandwhich of my life here. I had the black granddaddy Philly. The bread was incredible. I also got baked goods from the bakery. The cookies were a big hit with my kiddo. 100% go here. read more

I live outside of Nashville and happened to be in the area so I grabbed lunch at a spot nearby and then checked to see if there were any bakeries around. This one popped up so I stopped in. I guess there are multiple rooms here, one part is a restaurant and then there is a bakery. I only was in the bakery. They have a lot to choose from. Some stuff is sitting on the counter in the open which was odd and at one point I thought maybe they were samples but they were full sized items so I think they were for sale. Anyway I decided to order a few items. I ordered some kind of brownie. I think it was called the all good bar. It's a brownie with walnuts in it, then a peanut butter layer on top of it and a layer of chocolate ganache on top of that. It's a buckeye in brownie form and it's amazing. It could easily go into the way too sweet territory but it doesn't. It's perfect. One or two bites satisfies a sweet tooth. So I took a few bites over 2-3 days. I wish I had more. I also ordered I think it was called a basket. It was pastry puff dough in a rectangle with cream cheese in the center and very thin slices of apple on top. I brought that home and heated it up in our airfryer for 3-4 minutes and let me tell you it was one of the best things I've eaten all year. And I've had some really delicious food this year. I wanted to cry. It was that good. Unbelievable. I wanted to scarf it down and also take my time because I didn't want to not have it. The last thing I bought was a two pack of their iced shortbread cookies. They were right by the register and maybe on sale and I figured why not. These took me back to childhood. There was a bakery near us in Ohio called 'taste and tell'. They had the best iced cookies. I'm 43 and I still think about them. That place closed probably 30 years ago? I took a bite of these cookies and time traveled to 'taste and tell'. Whatever recipe they use is the same. They are so good!! Out of the three items I bought I didn't have a favorite because everything was amazing in its own right. The brownie was rich and sweet and decadent and had crunchy and creamy and perfection. The basket was 10/10 pure heaven and the cookies were a blast from the past of one of my favorite childhood treats. I'm both sad and happy that this place is so far from me because i want to be there everyday. I will definitely be back to empty the bakery case and also to try and sandwich or soup or real food too. read more

Visited Kirchhoff's for the first time this past week and what an amazing little bakery. When we walked in the aroma just took you away with the smell of fresh baked breads and pastry. The service was great we were looking for a loaf of bread to go with a brisket we had on the smoker that had a coffee , chocolate, chili rub on it and they took the time to guide us to a country French loaf. It was perfect for the job!! Will definitely return and promise some pics next time ! read more

Stopped for a treat walking around area. Lots of treats to choose from. I picked out the Lemon bar which was $3.25 and delicious. One of my friends had the Almond crescent and had very little filling although the pastry was good. The Red white and blue cookie had a great review, others were happy with their purchase. No prices were posted I guess we as a group overwhelmed her , when asked we were told everything was a different price. In comparison it seems prices were pretty good. They are also connected to a coffee and tea shop which is cute and a deli which looks cool but we didn't eat. read more

Fun place. Bakery, coffee shop and deli. Located in the downtown area. Had a nice size coffee menu but decided to have lunch in the deli. This establishment has been around since 1863. My husband and I both ordered the chicken salad on cranberry walnut bread with lettuce and tomatoes. So flavorful!! Upon leaving we had a buy a few cookies which were fresh and tasty. It's a must if town. read more

Sandwiches were solid, however the pastry and cookie I got had the most chemical/artificial taste. The service here would be a 1 star. The individual working the register was not kind and when someone in my party paid and didn't leave a tip (at a sandwich shop) he was very rude. read more

Kirchhoff's is a chicken salad gourmet delight. Upon visiting Paduch, KY dont miss out on this delicacy accompanied with a fresh dill pickle. Established and decorated in 1873 and owned by 5-kirchoff's generations, treat yourselves to this bakery for cakes, pies, breads cookies and tastebud pleasure. Service is offered to go or sit-in then experience. BUT, arrive early as items do sell out and once gone one has to wait until tomorrow for the experience. read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this delicious place until now. I have been coming here for years after discovering it on a photo walk around town during a festival. There are plenty of things to choose from but you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't try a pralines & cream bar. I have diabetes and always TRY to eat this slowly but it's one of those things that may be bad for the glucose but good for the soul. There are breads to choose from to take home, and you can ask for a sandwich from the deli while you're there. I plan to try a sandwich next time. The customer service is always A1 and the prices seem fair in comparison to others. I definitely recommend this bakery to anyone and everyone! read more

Best cookies I've ever had. Must place to visit. You won't leave disappointed. Try the pasties too

I've wanted to eat here for years but was never in Paducah at the right time. Finally! The coldest day in February was the day! It was 11:30 and not too busy. Noticed a lot of takeout business. The sandwiches were ready quickly and were fantastic! The historic building and front entry are awesome. Of course we had to try the epic club sandwich, which did not disappoint. The side of pesto bow tie pasta was delicious and shared. The tuna salad was very good, but I'll try something else next time. A couple of cookies and a loaf of bread later (from the bakery) and I was a very happy camper. Definitely a great lunch spot! read more

We went here because the bakery is located around the corner from our AirBNB, plus it has a German name and we wanted to see if they had any German bakery items. To our surprise they did. The danishes are very close to the ones I grew up with. We bought the puff pastry with creme cheese and bear claw. We also ate at their deli, I had a Reuben and my husband a mufaleto . Both sandwiches were very flavorful and delicious. The only thing I didn't like was the tip. It comes up on the receipt as a code. We gave three dollars but the cashier charged $4. That's not good business practice so watch out that you don't get charged more than you want to give. I know it was only a dollar more, but it still doesn't make it right to overcharge your customers. read more

An absolute must every time I'm in town for work. The food is an absolute hit, this folks never miss. Add in the fact that it's locally and family owned and it makes this an easy 5 star review. This would ALWAYS be my first choice on a place to recommend for lunch if you're out of town and looking. Don't pass this place up, you're missing out!! read more

Amazing and so worth the trip! Our Band B gave us vouchers and I'm so happy they did! Both the sweet and savory treats were so exceptional that we bought a big bag for the trip! read more

Fresh homemade bread and treats. Great sandwiches. Historic and cozy. Great for lunch downtown.

Oh My! I started with the bacon and cheese jalapeño biscuit. That was good. And then I couldn't stop. I ordered the egg and pimento cheese quiche. That was fantastic! Walk next-door and get your coffee from etc. That's the way it start a day. Thank you, Paducah. read more

If you're traveling on I-24 and are needing a coffee / sweet tooth break, then do yourself a favor and check this place out! A family owned and operated business that spans 5 generations. They're located just a block off the banks of where the Tennessee River joins the Ohio River. Kirchhoff's Bakery is ALWAYS selling fresh bread with daily bread specials. We were wanting to buy a loaf of their sourdough bread but was informed that they were just getting ready to take it out of the oven and it wouldn't be ready until about 45 minutes later. No problems as we found some fresh baked sweet treats. We purchased a serving of their Chocolate Chip Cheese Cake; a serving of their All Good Bar; several Cowboy Cookies (oatmeal, chocolate chips, & pecans); and, since Halloween was just a couple of days away, 4 Halloween themed cookies. Additionally, we bought a couple of servings of their spinach quiche for breakfast (the sweets were for later). I can attest to the delicious taste of the Cowboy Cookies and the (OMG) Amazing taste of the All Good Bar (peanut butter and chocolate). They were both really good! The spinach quiche was excellent, btw. Their deli lunch menu boasts hot and cold sandwiches, stuffed pitas, crisp salads and steamy soups. A private coffee shop adjoins their bakery next door. One can walk through their open room to next door to order some delicious coffee, lattes, mochas, or tea. Yes, it's a few minutes drive off the interstate, but well worth your time to visit. We'll be stopping in again when we make our trip back up north for Christmas. Maybe I can buy a Rudolph Reindeer Cookie? Ha! Check them out!

Their online menu doesn't show any breakfast items other than pastries but they had a few breakfast sandwiches and small quiches to be warmed upon. We added the orange cream cheese danish and a chocolate almond bear claw - delish! The bakery is attached to the deli on one side and the coffee shop on the other. Located on an adorable brick street within walking distance of The 1857 Hotel. Happy people behind the counter and plenty of seating. read more

Their food and baked goods are delicious!! Old fashioned good taste! Always great to walk in , small the aroma and see cases of tantalizing desserts! Counter service, quick. read more

Just as yummy and cute as their reputation states. The staff is so knowledgeable & patient-there are so many options. The French bread (sweet) is yummy as is the dried tomato bread. As if the bakery wasn't enough there is also a cafe & clothing shop. What an amazing little space! Don't pass it up read more

For handicapped people in wheelchairs, this establishment is one of the worst. The handicapped entrance isn't indicated and very difficult to locate. We had to find a wheel-chair entrance which is hidden in a grimy alley. It's obvious they did the very least possible to meet code, there's been no inspection, or the inspector turned a blind eye. If you have someone to go in and order for you and bring your food out, the food is awesome. read more

My absolute favorite place the bread is delicious and don't even get me started on their cookies. I've been going since I was a little girl and I'd always get a cookie. Hate that they close so early but it's my all time favorite! read more

I somehow found myself in Paducah, Kentucky... Its a long story. But... they have the national quilt museum and I love hand made things... so, I stopped to see the collection. Afterward I followed the beautiful brick streets to find lunch. Kirchhoff's Bakery/Deli served me a cold lemonade and a fried green tomato BLT! It felt like sitting in grandma's kitchen while she made your summer lunch for camp. Absolutely delicious way to spend an end of summer day... don't forget they have homemade cookies too read more

Kirchhoff's Bakery - Kirchhoff"s - Bakeries Near Me - Paducah, Kentucky

Great food and staff! We spent a couple days in the area and wish we would've bought more bread and bagels!

We arrived minutes after they opened. I know from stopping in the area before, you need to get here early. My boyfriend loaded up on a couple quiche, bagel, scones as I got a bear claw and apricot pastry. I'm gluten and dairy free but I can manage some things ok. I definitely can't eat the quiche- and that makes me sad. My boyfriend kept going on and on about the pesto one! We are traveling through, so mine will last a little bit. Or else I will suffer and no one wants that traveling. The area the bakery is in, is downtown, old district. Don't be afraid to park a little away and walk. It's nice scenery. Everyone was nice this morning. I wouldn't have know about the bear claw but someone else asked for one. The pastries were mounded on the trays and you couldn't see them all from the front. Hidden gems! I say too many cookies in the case! Make room for the good stuff! This is going to be another go to on our travels. read more

Kirchhoff's Bakery - Variety! - Bakeries Near Me - Paducah, Kentucky

I found a short curly brown hair in my food... :/ My hair is long and red so definitely not mine. They refused to refund me...

Great little sandwich place + bakery + coffee shop. Very popular for a reason. However, whenever you pay, they ask you if you want to tip and how much out loud so everyone can hear how much you are tipping. It should be discrete either by signing a receipt or flipping a screen. read more

The shortbread cookies are to die for. baklava and the raspberry tart was amazing. Will definitely be back.

This place came recommended by a friend of mine, and I am so glad we went! We got a loaf of challah, a loaf of Jewish rye, baklava, chocolate chip cookie cheesecake bar, and an oatmeal raisin cookie. We will be coming back every time we are in the area for those oatmeal raisin cookies! The rye bread is crusty on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The baklava was great, and not something I see often down here. I can't wait to try the restaurant! read more

This is the best bakery I've ever been to in my life! All the way from San Francisco even. We tried like 6 of the baked goods and 2 sandwiches. Our favorite was the chess pie/cake. Devoured it and went back the next day for more. Also these were sooooo good: Pumpkin chess cake Southern pecan bar Millionaire shortbread All good bar Mocha chip cookie Apple crisp cookie 2 sandwiches - the Cuban (bread was amazing) And a club which was huge. Christy was there and the sweetest person ever. Highly recommend this spot in Paducah. (cute town too with lots of history) read more

Was recommended by coworkers to check out the bakery if I could catch it while it's open. I was able to visit during the deli hours (11AM-2PM) for lunch. I ordered a Reuben, red grape salad as my side, and a drink. The service was very quick (less than 5 minute wait time) and was made fresh to order. There are daily specials listed near the order counter. The red grape salad is so good!! Red grapes in a cinnamon/brown sugar cream sauce with walnuts. After lunch, I went next door to the bakery to purchase some goods to take to home and share. I purchased two loaves of bread, 2 cookies, and 2 pastry items and it was around $20. If all oh these items are half as good as the deli items, they are definitely worth more than the price paid! Good size cookies and pieces of pastry. Staff was friendly and plenty of seating at the deli counter. Will make sure to stop in any time I'm in the area! read more

I stumbled upon this bustling bakery on a road trip to Nashville. First let me start by saying that the arts district this restaurant is in is so great. I looked up sandwiches on Yelp and Kirchoff's was the winner. I had the grilled chopped beef with horseradish sandwich. I was large enough to split with the pesto pasta salad on the side. The sandwich was grilled perfectly and not greasy but I wish that the horseradish sauce was more flavorful. The pesto pasta salad though, stole the show! Served cold and creamy with the right amount of flavor. I could've eaten that alone. The place both inside and out was so incredibly welcoming and made you want to go check it out. The line for lunch is long but that to me means people love this place. I didn't have anything from the adjoining bakery but the breads in there looked so good. I guess I'll need to make a return trip for a loaf or two next time. Note; if you want a unique cold sandwich this might not be the place for you. read more

I love this place! We were passing through Paducah on New Year's Eve Day, and happened upon Kirchoff's Bakery by chance. It is a quaint little place, about half a block from the town square, one block from the National Quilt Museum, and one and a half blocks from the Ohio River. It was a beautiful day, and we just needed to get out and stretch our legs. We hadn't eaten and we were looking for a quick bite. We split a bagel and cookie. Both were delicious! Paducah is a quick and pleasant drive from the highway. If you are ever passing by, I recommend checking out this historic town, and grabbing something at Kirchoff's Bakery. Get your food to go, and enjoy it while taking a stroll on the River Walk. read more

Great food, good selection of deli type sandwiches and fresh homemade bread. Establishment is always busy with plenty of repeat customers.

How to decide from all the delicious pastries here? We had a breakfast biscuit of bacon and cheese on a big savory biscuit and then shared a lemon blueberry "basket" pastry to have a bit of savory and sweet. All excellent! Be sure to go to connecting coffee shop for some coffee to go with pastries. Wished we'd grabbed a couple of huge cookies to go. read more

Great little lunch stop right in the middle of adorable downtown Paducah. Good selection of tasty sandwiches made fresh, bagged chips and bottled soft drinks. Nothing fancy, but definitely satisfying. I love the spring turkey sandwich on cranberry walnut bread. Make sure to grab some cookies, brownies or lemon bars from the bakery counter on the way out. read more

A classic old bakery and deli- love this old building and decor. Came a bit on the later side right before closing - they were out of the salads and soups but there was still plenty of options in the sandwich department. The cranberry pecan bread caught my eye and ordered that to go with my blt. It was good- nothing amazing . Wishing the bacon had been warmed up to crisp it up a bit. The bakery was a different story, which was in a separate area. Lots of bread options, muffins, cookies, brownies , etc etc took lots of self xo trip to not over order . Thanks read more
