Today was my second visit to Franklin Bakehouse, and it instantly reminded me why I loved it so…read moremuch the first time, years ago, when I came for brunch with a friend. The staff were patient and helpful as I asked questions and considered all my options. I had forgotten that they brew Nashville's own 8&R spresso!! Their 16oz drinks come with four shots - coffee lovers like me will appreciate the strength! Most of their syrups are Monin, I think maybe I saw 1 housemade. What really sets this place apart is the charming farmer's market-style vibe. Besides food, coffee and fresh-baked pastries, they offer their own delicious sourdough and focaccia loaves to go, and a very thoughtful selection of local items - like organic Amish eggs ($6/dozen - unreal price right now and I saw they reuse the cartons/place to return them - heartwarming), bone broths, small-batch sauces, and so much more. I loved spotting a whole shelf of Republic of Tea bags, sold individually so you can sample new flavors before committing to a full tin. You can tell everything is chosen with care both in quality and with a community focus. Franklin Bakehouse is one of those places that just makes you feel good the moment you walk in. It def helped to see and pet some pups too (I assume they are welcome as there were some inside when I arrived).

Truthfully, about a 3 star review is fair. The food was…read moregood, not the greatest but good. The coffee was very limited, but they did have other bottled drink options which helped. It's a good place to go when you're wanting a fast grab and go with a black coffee. We decided to try the custom breakfast sandwich and got the ham with egg and cheese on sourdough. Overall, the sandwich was tasty. The hot pocket looking pastry was actually great, but the cinnamon peach "French toast" was not the best, it was okay in terms of flavor but overall a little underdone and dry. On top of that, I would say the service was very mediocre. Cashier seemed a little rude, and when leaving we realized no one picked up the order number that needs to be placed on the table once ordered, when trying to return it to someone before walking out everyone was just in a circle talking and no one acknowledged that I was trying to return this table number. So that really was a cherry on top of the environment of this place. Definitely a mid level experience.

As someone with celiac, Gluten Free Goose is a godsend! Everything they make quickly becomes "the…read morebest thing I've ever eaten".... Until I try the next thing. You absolutely must try the French crueler! Even before I knew I had celiac, I can't recall ever having a donut this delicious. As you can see - I have purchased quite a few. The staff is all very friendly. Make sure you check out their Instagram for what they are making that day. They also post when they sell out! (Not pictured, but their gluten free soft pretzels are also divine! One of my most missed foods) Worth every penny. Worth the drive if you live in Nashville proper.

Even before our trip was planned to visit Nashville, Gluten-free Goose was on my list of places to…read moretry. They are open Thursday-Saturday 0700-1300. And I knew from following them on Instagram, that they often sell out of items early. I was really hoping if be able to snag a crueller, however, I was too late. However, I did get some other delicious treats. The baguette was delightfully crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The apple friter-omg! I've not had one since going gluten free over 15 years ago. This was the best apple friter I've had. The guava pastry (cannot remember the proper name) was delicious as well. If you are planning a trip, do your best to arrive as early as possible. Prices were decent. The baker helped me woth questions, and was quite helpful, sorry I didnt catch their name.

An amazing little stop. We were leaving Brentwood to return home and wanted some breakfast before…read morewe hit the road. Found the Puffy Muffin and it was incredible. I got an egg and sausage croissant and it was full of flavor, plentiful, and some wonderful sauce on the side. Everything in the place was homemade and there was a huge assortment of baked goods. Everything from tarts to cookies to cake and everything in between. All was fresh and natural. Don't skip on the ginger tea either. Only 10 minutes from downtown Nashville and worth the stop.

The selection is huge with sweet things you would expect such as tres leche cake and common pan from concha's to telera's (traditional Mexican torta roll). If you need a piñata, this is your place.

The offerings here include a good variety of savory and sweet crepes, plus fries, bottled Coke drinks, tea. They also offer buckwheat, gluten free and vegan crepes. The crepes served here are folded. Free samples of the crepes are usually handed out in front of the counter. The crepe prices are $4.00-$7.25 plus tax. Kids crepes (sweet & savory) are $3.99. The service is prompt after ordering and you can watch the staff make your crepe to order. I ordered the Butter Crepe ($4 plus tax), which I watched made fresh to order on the round crepe grill, buttered, powdered sugar sprinkled on, folded neatly and served to me. The folded thin crepe was very good, which was browned and firm on the outside and soft & light inside. The taste was sweet and buttery. A suggestion would be to offer ice cream with the crepes. A cold scoop of ice cream on the crepe would to transform a good sweet crepe into a phenomenal dessert!

Always excited to spot their little black trailer and see their friendly faces!

The El Hornito Bakery is located in a strip shopping center with ample parking on Murfreesboro in…read moreNashville. They feature authentic Hispanic baked goods at prices you won't find in many places. The special occasion cakes are a delight for the eyes! There are cases that line the perimeter of the store filled with pastries that are so visually appealing, it's almost a shame to eat them! Piñatas line the ceiling and makes for such a festive atmosphere. You'll find sweet breads, donuts, and pastries galore! When you enter, take a tray and set of tongs by the door. Then browse your way around the bakery and add your selections to the tray. When you're ready, the staff will ring and bag your order. Keep in mind that most of the placards on the bakery cases are in Spanish. So you might type Spanish to English in your cell phone browser to learn what the pastries you are interest in are in your own language. It helped me tremendously! I think my dining companion and I purchased 7 pastries and some other sweets, and the total was less than $15. I highly recommend this bakery for the most appealing visual and tasty treats you will find!

El Hornito is truly a hidden gem! It's located in a small strip mall off Murfreesboro Pike with…read moreplenty of parking. However, I will say that if you're not looking for it, you won't find it, so stay on the look out! This small Mexican bakery is most definitely popular among the locals and I just happened to pop by when I was driving in the area out of curiosity. I am so glad that I did. As soon as you walk in, you'll see a tray and tongs table to your left. It's self serve so you grab one and put whatever you would like to purchase on your tray. When I tell you there are hundreds of baked goods for you to try from, I'm really not joking. There's a variety of sweets lining up the store walls for you to choose from. There are even some hot pastries and cakes you can purchase from the counter. I was definitely overwhelmed by the choice and things aren't labeled, so I let my eyes do the picking. I randomly grabbed three of the prettiest deserts I could find. One was a cream and jam filled pastry, one was a cake, and one was a cookie. Each of them had such a unique and authentic flavor. After taking a bit of each one, I understood why this place was packed even late on a Sunday night. The best part is, when I paid for these three sweets, my total was less than $5. Amazing food for this deal?! Sign me up! I will be back very soon and buying more baked goods than I could ever imagine!

The menu is incredible, and the bakery case is filled with irresistible treats that make it impossible to leave empty-handed. The lemon pancakes completely exceeded my expectations, light, bright, and absolutely delicious. And the chicken chop salad is hands down the best I've ever had. It's loaded with fresh, flavorful toppings and just the right amount of lettuce, which is exactly how I like it! Every visit has been consistently wonderful, with amazing food and friendly service. If you're planning to go, I highly recommend making a reservation because this place fills up fast, and once you experience it, you'll understand why. Perenn is truly one of those special places you'll find yourself coming back to again and again!
