I got a chicken salad sandwich on a croissant and a cup of corn chowder. WOW! Seriously delicious, y'all. The sandwich was $5.50 and the soup was $3. Amazing prices for such a tasty hearty lunch. The croissant was soft and flaky and perfect, the chicken salad was flavorful, and the corn chowder was. Just. Everything. Savory, creamy perfection.

A pain management clinic sits next door to this bakery, but even I (as a physician with some…read moreknowledge in the area) couldn't help but think that perhaps the display of sweets might be better at relieving pain than medications. The chocolate crinkle cookie I settled on delivered a delicate, melty texture. Conversely, the spicy crackers I ate later were robustly flavored (and hey, capsaicin does have some uses in pain medicine too). Their cafe menu didn't have a ton that interested me, and this didn't seem to be a place for people with niche dietary needs, but as a regular bakery it satisfied.

On my most recent visit, I delighted in the fried pickles and mushroom burger. Everything was spot-on--the food, the portions, and the service. I couldn't have been happier, especially after several recent experiences at so-called fine-dining establishments where even describing the food and service as average would be generous. Thank you, Branch Out, for creating wonderful gluten-free food that is imaginative, satisfying, and prepared with genuine care. I'm already looking forward to my next visit--and it will be soon!

Black coffee was only $.75. 3 donuts, a bottled coffee beverage and a black drip coffee was $5. I mean, it's hard to beat. Only comment but not a complaint is that they use a buttercream type icing on their donuts, so don't except a glazed chocolate long john, it's more like a chocolate buttercream. Still tasty though!

There are many spaces adjacent to the building and a handicapped space right by the door. Walking in, the main display case is to the right. There is not much room from the door so this area can get very crowded. We were in the third row as we entered and had to maneuver around a couple people to get all the way in. The workers also call out when they are free so you may need to work your way to the front to see the display case as others are being waited on. Since we were travelling, we decided to only get a half dozen. We made our selections and were back in the vehicle in no more than five minutes. They are very efficient in moving people through. The donuts are very uniform in size between the regular glazed and filled. The flavor is good and the texture is on the lighter side with good integrity. They do not fall apart as you eat. The fillings are typical flavors and could be filled a bit more than what we received. The bavarian cream was filled with vanilla pudding which was a bit disappointing. Still, the donuts are good and are sold at a good price. The place can get really busy but the workers know how to move you through quickly. Red's is certainly a good donut option.

I don't drink coffee and I'm avoiding tea and baked goods, so I didn't buy anything. The store has many local (to KY or to the southwest, lol) products and artwork. Several rooms for shopping. I was eyeing some tie-dyed hoodies. My one tip would be to have more seating/table areas as there wasn't much of that, but perhaps the business is more profitable as an art gallery than as a "come and work on your laptop here for 3 hours" coffee shop.

It kind of tasted like burned sunflower seeds. The cappuccino was also underwhelming, with poor milk texture and an overall unpleasant flavor.

No soap dispenser in the bathroom or any sign of soap at all was also concerning.

More on my opinion on the latte in a minute. The bakery is in another room and they had a large variety of pastries that are prepared in the building. I ordered an Apple fritter, a chocolate cake donut with chocolate icing. My wife ordered a sour cream donut plus a lemon blueberry muffin. The Apple fritter was delicious with nice chunks of apple. One of the best I've ever had. So, after a bite of it, I gave my wife the caramel latte and ordered a black coffee. The sweetness of the fritter with the latte simply doesn't mix well IMO. The drink I had of the latte was really good but of course, I preferred a black coffee with the fritter. My wife loved the sour cream donut and thought it was better than our local donut shop we frequent that has her favorite sour cream donut. We saved the other two for the next day. So, no reviews for those two. This is a great local coffee shop with great products, great variety, and fantastic customer service. If you're in the KY Lake area we highly recommend this establishment.
