The service is great. The food is phenomenal. Any bad review on this page is a reflection of the customer. Williamson county might be the most pretentious populous known to man, which is saying a lot considering I'm from Greenwich county, Connecticut. This place rocks! read more

Love this place. I have become a real customer. Definitely worth going to visit for breakfast, lunch or just picking up a croissant and coffee. This is the place to be for a great experience! read more

Food: Excellent. Maybe the best BLT is have ever had. Great service. Friendly hosts. Bad: As soon as I parked I was accosted by a parking attendant asking me to scan and then present my receipt. You want make me jump thru hoops to have breakfast? Nope. read more

Amazing pastries soo many to choose from! You cannot go wrong! And excellent coffee too!

They need more umbrellas. It's uncomfortable trying to enjoy our food. People fighting over shade

Went there today for brunch. Very limited parking. Had to park at bank lot forn$18. Wife gad lemon pancakes which were very good. I ordered breakfast sandwich which was a disaster. English muffin was stale and reheated in a microwave. Sausage was way overcooked and paper thin. Coffee was bitter and only lukewarm. We will not be back. read more

What an addition to the Franklin community! The attention to detail for every single aspect of this bakery from the decor, the European vibe, the way the staff is dressed to of course, the food and coffee is top notch. Franklin was missing a place like this. The owner's spent a long time building this space and you can tell they poured everything into it. Will become our go-to downtown spot. Some advice - go early. Congrats to their team! read more

Perenn - Bakeries Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Great spot. Incredible pastries and coffee. Worth the hype - this place will do very well here in Franklin!

I had heard great things about Perenn and was genuinely excited to try it, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. I have a few food allergies, and while I understand that can sometimes be challenging, most places are kind and accommodating. That was not the case here. The staff working today were incredibly disrespectful--it's been a long time since I've been treated so rudely over my dietary needs. It got so uncomfortable that my friends had to step in and say something. Also, be aware: you must have a reservation. The space is cute, sure, but it's not worth it to me. $20 for a tiny latte and a tiny piece of avocado toast? In this economy? I'd rather go across the street where I can get good food, good coffee, and be treated like a human being. Not a friendly place for anyone with gluten or nut allergies. read more

Not a single dairy free option. The only thing I can eat here is special order eggs. So disappointed.

Love having this local! Very busy today. Love the vibe and the pastries and chai were delicious. They are new, but it's a little confusing on how to order, pickup and seating. If you pick up food you cannot sit at indoor or riverside outdoor tables, these are reservation only and full service. No napkins to be found, I asked for napkins and someone went to back to get some, came back without with no explanation. It is not clear on who buses the tables out front or cleans them. People were trying but we did not see a trash dispenser. Glad to have this downtown, it is much needed and hope it smooths out. Maybe a person out front for a few days explaining the process and helping when things run out might help. read more

Perenn - Coffee area - Bakeries Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

The most delicious breakfast in Franklin by far. Anyone that doesn't like their food has the worst taste ever. 100% delicious.

while it tends to be a bit busy, the staff and servers are an absolute delight!!! The pastries and the coffee are tops. It's nice to see the old spot finally occupied and they're doing a fantastic job. In time, the machine will be better greased and run smoothly. It's a new kid in town and everyone is swarming to check it out. It will settle and be just fine. read more

I've been here a few times including opening day. Service has improved dramatically since the first day. We've tried a number of their offerings....classic breakfast (potato was the best part), crossaint, croquette all delicious. Even drip coffee was delicious and free refills if you are eating there. It's pricy but worth it IMO. Their chocolate chip cookies are also delicious read more

Perenn staff, this is my plea to please put an adequate amount of espresso in your lattes. My iced latte was probably 95% milk, it looked more like an iced chai latte, and all the other iced lattes I saw being put out looked the same - almost pure milk. The pastries and the vibes were wonderful (you must try the crème brûlée kouigh amann, and my friend liked her chai). I loved everything else, but with that La Marzocco, I was expecting better. read more

We stopped in and ordered 3 pastries to go for just over $20. When we got home my husband discovered a very long hair in the almond croissant which he pulled from his mouth. It was in the bite. It was straight out of the bag and he is bald. Horrified, he spit it out and we threw away the other pastries. We will not be returning customers. read more

Incredible breakfast, coffee and service - wow! Can't wait to come back and try the delicious pastries

My brother, who is a chef, was in town visiting from Atlanta and I had to take him to Perenn. We were able to snag a breakfast reservation fairly easily and only waited a few minutes to be seated. The service and food were both amazing and I was glad that it lived up to the hype for him. He got the Turkish Eggs and said the flavor combos were amazing. I got the soft scrambled eggs in a croissant and it was beyond delicious! Grabbed some pastries to go as well! Love this place! read more

I came with my husband and my baby. Navigating this place with a stroller was incredibly difficult, starting with there's no ramps (my husband and I needed to lift the stroller with my baby inside to go up the steps) it's obvious they didn't think of parents and strollers when they opened. Then they didn't have any place to sit available, while they have so many tables empty but those are only with reservations, so they only offer a few tables that are in front of the building with no shade at all (keep in mind it's extremely hot). How am I supposed to sit here in this heat with a baby? And lastly the prices are ridiculous expensive, when they can't even offer a table with AC! So disappointing. I hope they take these reviews in mind and do better. read more

The cutest French bakery yummy pastry and delicious fresh loaves of bread. The cinnamon croissant is to die for highly recommend

Incredibly delicious (definitely order the banana bread and chocolate croissant!!) Atmosphere is beautiful. Staff (our favorite barista Katie) is very attentive. Long lines are well worth the wait! read more

I'm a decaf girly and Perenn bas the best decaf lattes! I also love all of their pastries but my fav are the prosciutto gruyere croissant the chocolate chip cookie with maldon salt! To die for! read more

I went to the grand opening and had a mixed feelings about this place after being SO excited about it. AMBIANCE: The renovation was really well done, it's a great location to begin with, but all of the touches throughout the interior and exterior take it to the next level, the cappuccino machine is gorgeous! SERVICE: Granted, we were at the grand opening and I expected there would be a wait, but I was totally shocked by the sheer amount of people who showed up as I'm sure they were too. They were definitely unprepared and a bit overwhelmed which is understandable, BUT, I think it's still really important to communicate with customers even when things are chaotic. We ended up waiting in line for dine-in for almost 2 hours No staff members came by to give us an any kind of time estimate or tell us anything about the process of getting seated. At the end of the 2 hr long line, we were allowed to put our name down(!) and wait another 45+ min until our table was ready. Again, I'm a pretty patient person, otherwise I wouldn't have waited that long, but no one came by and told anyone who had been waiting in a VERY slow moving line for hours that we weren't even guaranteed a table at the end of it. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt though that felt a little sketchy and dishonest, but I'll chalk that up to being disorganized for now. FOOD: I was pretty taken aback by the menu. I had seen photos on their website of food they had made and it all looked pretty hearty. I'll preface this with saying that I really appreciate the fact that they try to source local and/or organic food which is expensive and challenging for a restaurant. I'm personally very willing to pay a fair price for high quality food but the pricing of the dishes were just ridiculous. The prices themselves weren't as upsetting as the fact that to get a complete dish, you had to get "extras". Virtually all of the breakfast and lunch dishes come a la carte, so if you order an omelet, don't expect anything other than an omelet on your plate, not even a garnish. Ok so, no included sides is something I can put up with if the main dish is high quality and hearty, but the dishes are set up in a way where they are basically incomplete unless you order all of these "suggested extras" For example, my friend ordered the breakfast sandwich, which I believe said it came with egg, sausage, and cheese, but then under it said "add caramelized onions" for a few more $ and "add chipotle mayo" for a few more $. I found this to be so weird, like shouldn't sauce be included in the sandwich? Especially something as cheap as chipotle mayo and the onions, like if the chef believes the dish is best served with these components, they should just be a part of the dish?! It was the same thing with the dish I ordered, the avocado toast, which had a bunch of recommended add ons that seemed like they were pretty crucial components to the dish. Generally add ons are like an upgrade to the dish, not essential components to make it complete. I feel like if a chef has integrity and really cares about the food they serve, they're not going to put incomplete dishes on the menu and then up charge you for the full experience. If they need to raise the price a little so be it, but making each *necessary component $2-$3 extra, again, just feels sketchy. Not to mention both the breakfast sandwich AND the avocado toast, which we both ordered WITH the extras were TINY. I wish I had snapped a pic but seriously the 1/4 of an avocado on a very thinly sliced small piece of bread. We also split the potatoes which were pretty good but with once I saw the size of the main dishes, I couldn't help but resent the fact that the potatoes weren't included on the side. I really so rarely am bothered by pricing or portion size, like truly I don't think I've ever left a review about either of those things before so I hope I'm not giving the impression that I'm cheap or expecting huge diner style portions from an upscale bakery, but yeah I just couldn't help but feel ripped off. All in all I haven't written them off, mainly because because I'm a Franklin local and we have been in *desperate* need of a decent croissant for a while now (which they do have!), but I'm hoping they work out some kinks and get a little less greedy with their menu! read more

OBSESSED is an understatement. I'm ashamed to admit how many times I've been since they opened a short while ago. The owners are so sweet, the staff has always been friendly, the vibe & details are beautiful, and the food & drinks are THE BEST I've found in Franklin. Ingredients are fresh, quality is next level, taste is BEYOND, and I literally have loved every single thing I've tried there. This is my go-to spot now for all the things. Couldn't recommend it more! So happy Perenn has come to TN! read more

Eggs were drenched in butter and way undercooked. Potatoes were drenched in butter. Just gross and unhealthy.

I only bought 2 baguettes here, but they were overcooked and overpriced. If you mess up your baguettes for the day, don't put them up for sale, especially not for the same price. Partially my fault for buying them anyway, but don't waste your money on their baked goods. read more

Peren is a local meet and greet; any time of day people are outside chatting sitting down with a friend or their dog, enjoying a coffee or anything from their fabulous menu I'm from New York and the croissant I had at Perenn was the best croissant I ever had read more

Food was good but walked out to a back lot Parking violation. Only a 4x5 picture notice on the counter to scan a QR box. Being from Florida cashier should alert every customer of the parking issue. I'm now requesting a review by Park Happy. read more

Perenn surpassed my expectations. Charming vibe, friendly and attentive service, flavors on point. I recommend the kale salad with locally raised rotisserie chicken! The crunchy chickpea garnish put it over the top! Delighted to go home with a bag full of bakery delicacies to share with the fam. What a fantastic addition Perenn is to Franklin fare. read more

One expects more from a "bakery" than day-old tasting cinnamon rolls, an overly sweetened slice of banana bread, croissants and a single cookie option. The place doesn't smell like anything had been baked there. They should be embarrassed especially with all the hype. I asked about the bread display on the back wall and whether the bread was real and for sale. It was. When I suggested they price it and the variety, I was given a shrug and oh well they had only been opened a few days. Nothing about the place seemed genuine. Unless you park in the free six or so spaces in the front, parking is on Franklin streets or on in their back lot. I know two people who thought they could park for free in the back and were fined $38. There is a small QR code sign next to the street sidewalk - that must be dowloaded and a certain amount of free time (90?minutes) is comped when you buy something. Their restaurant is attached to the front bakery area. The salads were pricey and nouveau with chick peas and quinoa. There is a hamburger option as well. This place is so pretentious, I couldn't wait to leave. read more

NOT WORTH THE WAIT. The staff were somewhat okay, our server was definitely in a rush when serving us. Made the whole experience awkward. We had reservations but were still seated late which made the food service worse. Who would have thought they run out of food? The meals we got were not impressive, everything you can make at home, this place is really just for the esthetics. Honestly, they should learn how to season even the simplest stuff like eggs. The place looked clean but flies were everywhere. read more

So unbelievably expensive. $23 for a salad with a small portion of chicken. Not sure how to justify that price.

food is lovely but the whole time we were assailed be Au de Dumpster smells, sweat bees and flies, the heat. please consider installing rotating fans along the courtyard seating and TOPS needed on all the trash cans. please & thank you. read more
