All are fresh made daily and the loaded breads are made to order. The owner was a lovely lady and very cheerful. Enjoyed talking with her. The store is simple and just a whole in the wall but that's when you know all the focus is on the product. She had many bakery options but the cinnamon breads are the star. Seeing restaurants serve meh desserts for $10+, it's not unreasonable that these range from $7-$15. I highly suggest giving this a visit if your in the Gatlinburg m/Pigeon Forge locations.

I arrived in TN from Florida a few days earlier than the rest, so I was put in charge of finding a decorative 2 tiered wedding cake. Yelp came to my rescue when I found this place! It was a Thursday afternoon & crowded when I went in! I'm convinced people line up for the free smells, too, bc OMG! Delicious. Everything about the place is delicious I needed the cake done & delivered to the restaurant post nuptials @ 3:30.. Boy did they deliver!! The Bride's face lit up when she realized the gorgeous 2 tiered cake w/ white roses & a silver drip around the edges was for her! It was a great price & I paid extra for delivery (WORTH IT!) Never risk it if you can foot the bill for delivery..! Too many people drive like for me to risk destroying a cake after stopping short! Shannon was communicative, creative, helpful & arrived w/ the cake delivery early, coordinating the presentation with the restaurant that helped us out SO much on the day. AND YES!!! IT WAS INSANELY DELICIOUS!

We wanted to do a special gender reveal for our next baby just the three of us while on vacation, and I reached out to see if they could help make it happen. They were more than happy to create icing-filled donuts in the corresponding gender color, and they absolutely delivered! The donuts were delicious, and we ended up getting a whole dozen to enjoy as morning treats throughout our trip. What meant even more to us was how thoughtful and accommodating they were throughout the entire process. They made sure to keep the gender completely discreet so we could have our special surprise, and when we got caught in traffic and arrived late for pickup, they even called to check on us. It may seem like a small thing, but they helped make such a special memory for our little family, and we are so grateful! Between the delicious donuts and the incredible customer service, I would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone visiting Gatlinburg. We will definitely be back!

If I'd had more time, I would have loved hanging out here for a while. I only managed to get here about 45 minutes to close, so their selection was understandably if somewhat disappointingly quite picked over. I wound up with a cranberry oat scone and a blueberry and raspberry hand tart. The employee was very pleasant and warm. I appreciated her eagerness to help and positive attitude despite my late arrival. The baked goods sadly didn't really live up to my expectations. The cranberry oat scone was the much better of the two; it was pleasantly sweet and had the proper scone texture and only a little dry. Unfortunately, the hand tart had several edges that I discovered later had been burnt. This impacted the flavor of the whole item and sadly diminished it greatly. The fruit filling was tasty at least, though I didn't get much raspberry from it -- mostly blueberry. I'd be down to try again in the future, just would come earlier in the day when the selection is a bit larger and the products available are a bit more "choice," let's say. I appreciated the kind service and lovely vibes!

The shop itself is small but mighty. Super kind staff who will give you any info you request. There are candles, plates, cards, and a few local gifts for sale, alongside all of the tasty treats. There are cookies, brownies, cupcakes, single cake and cheesecake slices and full size cheesecakes for sale. My favorites are the oatmeal sammie and the PB cheesecake. I normally avoid sugar cookies but their version with the sanding sugar is too notch! We definitely prefer the storefront, as the items are super fresh and I love that they carry the single servings. Whenever we are downtown for work, this is our stop. When you get something from the Kroger Magpie's selection, it will either be a full size cheesecake or a sampler box of cookies or bars/brownies. It is hit or miss as to how fresh the items are here. This location now refrigerates the sammies, too, which seems to dry them out quickly. Bummer. From either location, we definitely prefer the cheesecakes, pies, and cookies to the actual cake. Either way, support this local gem!

Because eventually all those samples start suggesting that bread is a really good idea. The shop specializes in fresh baked breads featuring apple-based recipes, with offerings like apple blueberry and apple peach bread. We chose the apple peach. The bread itself was fresh and enjoyable, but the flavors never quite delivered the punch we were hoping for. The apple was subtle. The peach was subtle. In fact, they were so subtle they may have been playing hide-and-seek. Not bad. Not memorable. Just average. The shop is pleasant, the products are fresh, and it's a nice stop if you're already in the area. Three stars. A perfectly fine experience, but not one that'll have me dreaming about bread on the drive home.

The bread is a giant loaf which doesn't make any sense to carry around at an amusement park and is pretty dry with just some sticky cinnamon goo on the bottom. I don't know why they don't serve it by the slice or maybe in the form of a roll? We tried some coffee with our cinnamon bread and it really wasn't very good though claiming to serve Starbucks. If your family eats a lot of sugary bready things, you may enjoy it more and it might make more sense to grab a loaf on your way out of the park to take home. Otherwise, I would say skip the bread and go for the rides instead!
