    Seasonal Sweet Potato Pastry
    Amy W.

    Mama Brad is a great addition to East Nashville. Be sure to get there early in order to grab a pastry or loaf of bread, they do sell out somewhat quickly. I visited around 11 and there were only two pastries left. The quality of the big goods is excellent. The coffee is also good however I had to wait over 20 minutes for my beverage on the weekend, so would keep that in mind if you are in a rush. Otherwise I would give this place five stars. The café store and interior is bright and welcoming. They have a great selection of niche home goods. Plenty of seating at the front and behind the counter as well as patio seating.

    Jammy egg toast with chili seasoning.

    We (5 of us) stopped in for lunch and we all loved it! I had the avocado toast with an egg. Sprouted multigrain toast covered with avocado, radish slices and a jammy egg. Delicious. I had an Italian lemonade with it. For dessert my SO got a chocolate croissant and shared it with me. Very flakey & delicious. Others had a ham & cheese and avocado toasts. They all expresses how good they were. As Arnold said, 'I'll be back!'

    Bread and butter
    Meredith S.

    We went on a Sunday around 11am. There was a decent line when we got there. By the time we got to the front we got the last plain croissant. We also ordered the bread with butter and ham. The croissant was decent but not great. Very flaky which was good, flavor was not my favorite. The bread was amazing. The flavor was incredible. The butter and jam it's served with is top notch. We loved it so much we bought a loaf to take home. I saw lots of people getting sandwiches. I definitely want to try one of those next time. If you are looking for the pastries the key is to get there early, they come out of the over at 8am. The bread comes out at 10am. The stores itself is super cute. Like a little neighborhood bodega with tons of gourmet grocery items to buy. It's a great addition to the area.

    Disappointed that the pistachio cardamom bun had no flavour of either ingredient; though was a good sweet bun.

    Had the croissant. Overbaked. They kindly gave me another one, again overbaked. Nice staff. Good coffee. Not sure I'll return.

    I saw this place on Tiktok and knew i needed to go. Truly one of the best bakery's i've had in my…read moreentire life. The entire inside is so beautiful and unique. The customer service is top notch. Be prepared for a line, it is VERY busy but I promise it is worth the wait. Every single thing we got was delicious which sometimes you got into places like this and it can be hit or miss. Everything tasted fresh, none of what we got was overbearing in sweetness either. Highly recommend checking them out.

    I've heard good things about this place online so when we had the chance, we came here for brunch…read more We ended up parking in a nearby garage that was easy to get to. There was a line when we arrived, but it wasn't so bad. It moved by pretty quickly. While in line, you bypass all the pastries displayed behind the glass and they looked beautiful! Everything looked amazing. I ended up ordering the Twice Baked Croissant and the Fried Chicken Breakfast Sandwich. The Twice Baked Croissant was just incredible. It had pistachios on top, a pistachio cream inside, and also a cherry or raspberry jam inside too. I love pistachios, and the pistachio cream inside was so light, creamy, delicate, but flavorful. I absolutely loved all the different textures. The croissant was airy and fluffy inside, and the outside had a nice flaky exterior. And the fruit jam inside complemented the pistachio cream very well, it added a nice sweetness that blended well with the cream. For me, it tied the whole thing together. I will definitely be thinking of this pastry when I think of pistachio croissants. And for the Fried Chicken Breakfast Sandwich? Wow. I didn't know what to expect, but it was much larger than I anticipated. It was tall, like when I was bringing it to the table the top part of the bun almost fell off my plate because it had height. The fried chicken piece was great: juicy and had a nice golden color. It was crispy and also quite large for a chicken piece.. All the components about it were executed well: the fried chicken, the coleslaw! (i'm a coleslaw fanatic), and the sauce inside the sandwich was wonderful. Also last but not least, the fried egg too? Wow. I love a good runny egg. I'm not exaggerating, I was drenching the pieces of my sandwich in the sauce on my plate. It was just that good. Genuinely, I couldn't believe I finished that sandwich because it was very filling and that fried chicken piece was huge! Service was fast and friendly, I liked interacting with them. It is pretty small inside and we came on a weekend so it was busy and packed. We were lucky to snag a small table but it was difficult to find seating when we got our food. All in all, I'm so happy we came here. Yes it is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. The quality is clearly there and showed up through everything we got. I had such a memorable time, thank you for taking care of us!

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.

It was even delivered to my hotel in downtown Nashville free of charge! She listened to my vision and this cake was incredible both inside and out!! Their Strawberry champagne cake with cream cheese icing is literally one of the best things I have tasted. Thank you so much Kelly!! My friends loved it too and the birthday girl was raving about it all weekend!!

    Extremely disappointing presentation. Definitely not worth the money…read more We ordered over the phone and email for our Bachelorette weekend and were promised the airbrushed buttercream photo that we sent in. The fondant version is what we got complete with mis-spelling and child like painted on details. After notifying Kelly that we were not happy with the presentation she proceeded to text a bunch of photos of cakes she's done that turned out great, incessantly defending her sub-par work. She blamed the extreme heat for inability to complete as ordered, they tried putting it in the freezer to keep it cold but just too hot out. She said she would have directed us differently as far as type of cake decor if she had known the weather would be so hot- we ordered this cake far in advance and the the heat wave was anticipated days before we arrived. It really just seems like the type of detail we wanted was not something this bakery is capable of doing. We had the cake delivered to the house before we got there which was super convenient. Only got concerned with this after Kelly told us to make sure to lock our doors at night since we were in a "bad" neighborhood. Since the bakery had the code to our doors and she was texting this late at night, this comment was received as threatening and we became concerned for our safety. The customer service and service recovery is something this bakery really needs to work on, we will NEVER be working with them again. Only positives... She did acknowledge that the order looked very rushed and gave us 10% refund. The cake tasted great, but just not worth the money in my opinion.

I nearly missed it as it appears to be one of several business in an old church! What a great use of space, but def will need some getting used to. The inside was bright and chearful, fitting of the name. The staff was also kind, although my interaction was brief. I got myself an almond croissant and then took to my friends 2 churro croissants and 2 plain ones. I ate the almond one in the car... it was okay, but the filling seemed more like a cream/custardy filling vs the traditional milled almond filling. Wasn't bad, just wasn't what I wanted. My friends and I loved the plain and churro croissants. The size is great and they were perfectly fluffy. I even had one left over the following morning and just heated it for a few secs in the microwave (don't judge) and it was still so good. I def want to try a few more of their sweet treats.

As well as all their other classic pastries (brioche ham and cheese, everything croissant, classic croissant. Savory item are a must.) Counter service staff friendly. They have a couple of tables outside. Grab a box of pastries with coffee and enjoyed sampling it on the outdoor seating. If you are looking for quality pastries must try! They have rotating specials that sell out fast. Order online and pick up to beat the crowd.
