Cute little place! Basic coffee, no espresso. Good sweets. Maybe taking some room from the shopping area to expand food and drink options would be nice. What they have is good, but they don't have much. read more

I've become a regular attendant of their Wednesday Supper. Follow them on Instagram to know what is served that evening! They've gotten my picky-eating kid to try, eat, and enjoy pork chops, Salisbury steak and veggies. An absolute miracle! read more

Troll House Cottage - Bakeries Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Troll House Cottage is a Donelson favorite and a truly unique place within Nashville. Tucked away in a charming cottage this cafe functions as a store and restaurant. The food and coffee is reasonably priced compared to other spots in Nashville and the store is beautifully curated; you truly feel like you've stepped into a coffee shop in some faraway fairy tale land. I only wish they had more parking because it can get full during tea time. I always bring people who are visiting here and they always love it. read more

Troll House Cottage - Bakeries Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I booked an afternoon tea reservation at Troll House Cottage to catch up with a friend before she moves. It was both of our first times, and we both were so impressed by the charm of the place. Booming a reservation isn't as tech technologically advanced as some spots, but it wasn't a difficult process. You select a date and time online, include any allergies in the notes, add the name of the guest, and then you'll receive a phone call to confirm availability and take a 50% deposit over the phone. The parking lot is on the smaller side, but luckily I had no issues finding a spot and there was some parking on the front lawn people with trucks or larger vehicles took advantage of (but I don't know if it's officially extra parking). When you enter the building you'll quickly get distracted by all the great items for sale at the shop (it's like a little local gifts and things shop). Once I looked around I went to check in and was told where my table would be and to take the opportunity to check out the wall of teas to pick my choices - the tea comes with 2 varieties per person. The wall of tea was impressive, with so many options. My decided my two teas, and my friend arrived shortly after and unprompted picked the same ones! We were with the elderberry cherry cobbler and the Tennessee honeysuckle. We went to sit at our table and someone came by to ask which teas we decided on. Shortly after they arrived with our tea and hot water. We caught up as the tea steeped in our cups and then the tower of treats arrived. My understanding is the offerings change frequently, but at the time it was completely free of peanuts and almonds (they did have pecans on one item). All the food items were great! I think they were all well executed and a great balance of bottom layer savory, middle layer sweet, and top layer that cross over (shortbread can lean both ways for me). As our tea got low, our second choice was brought out. The timing was perfectly paced. If you ask for honey (I love honey) it comes in an adorable little swan container (I didn't get a picture sadly). Both teas were great, but I think I preferred the honeysuckle, the cobbler had a more pronounced star anise flavor - which taste similar to black licorice to me and isn't my favorite. Service was superb. The price point was inline with what I expected for a meal, drinks, and an experience (and cheaper than most afternoon tea in London - and MUCH cheaper than high tea). Even if you just wanted to check out the gift shop and grab a tea to go or sit down for lunch, they had the option to do all the things. It's worth checking out if you are in the area. Also, if you appreciate the human form in creative ways the wallpaper in the bathroom is so great - just imagine, legs, butts, and a mushroom top - man I love when artist are creative! read more

Troll House Cottage - Breakfast croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Aww I absolutely loved this place! For food, I tried the Cauldron Pie special (kind of a chicken pot pie, but it's biscuits) and it came with those skinny potato straw chip things. I love anything on a biscuit, and this was pretty great! To drink, I got a black tea - wish the water was hotter, but the tea was lovely. You're able to take a whiff of the one you want before picking one, and they bag the loose leaf tea in front of you so you can let it steep the right amount of time. I found a seat at a cute little table next to the window. There are multiple open rooms and there's a whole bunch of local items and other handmade things. All random, all cute. read more

The cutest little cottage with a good selection for food. Don't expect a huge menu, it has a few items but all delicious, that's for sure. We stumbled upon it by accident and decided to have a quick little breakfast there and so glad we did. We found it very reasonably priced and would return if back in town. Oh and the bathroom, loved it!! read more

Troll House Cottage - Bathroom wallpaper - Bakeries Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Ive tried this Troll House 3 times.the place is cute and cozy..love the feel. The way they serve the tea is my complaint. Tea bag (2 kinds) to reuse with a pot of hot water and the tea foods have gone downhill. The first time the food was great...the baked goods, sandwhiches etc...and then the the tea bag thing. 2nd time....food declined and same tea service... 3rd time food declined..large portions and even the bakery wasn't the same.....same tea service. For reference...other places we recieved tea pots with selected tea..two or three..we do tea everywhere we travel...CO, MA, RI, IN,..etc. Locally and surrounding areas..... the Hermitage hotel, The Baden Hotel @ French Lick, and the annual afternoon tea at the Cragfont state historic site (annual) with a theme of 3 tea pots with literary teas...Edgar Allen Poe, Jane Austin) There is just something about tea pots with tea as opposed to a tea bag to reuse If they would switch that up and go back to their original food...that was served....it would be great...because again... the place is cute and the table set up is nice. read more

The cutest little house/cafe. It wasn't my ultimate favorite tea service, hut the food was good and the staff was the sweetest! I like their selection of teas, I hope they move into brewing the loose leaf tea in a kettle rather than tea bags but it was still yummy! I would definitely go there for lunch again soon! read more

We are very picky about Tea having lived in Europe for a few decades. This place has a very nice selection of teas and pastries and savory foods. We ate the razzle berry muffin and Brekkie - cheese ( your choice) with egg and turkey sausage on fresh biscuits. We were hungry and didn't stop to take a photo of the food. read more

I really hate leaving bad or indifferent reviews, but overall this high tea service was absolutely not worth the money and time. I'm also leaving this review to hopefully see change from Troll Cottage so it can be the experience you want it to be for your customers, not to bash you. If it changes for the better and is worth a return, I'll edit my review. (Please do not leave the same copy / pasted comment on this about your infancy.) Pros: - adorable shop with a lot of local vendors and items of all kinds to buy - good tea - we got served first because we sat right next to the service counter - delicious lemon pound cake - loved the porch swing - people working seemed nice Cons: - Expensive when the same service at a close by location is half the cost and better, attentive service and staff - Going off this, not enough staff. They were not only hosting tea service but also open to the public, which slowed everything down and felt disorganized and interrupted. If they'd close to the public during high tea or have another staff member to help, this could be alleviated a bit. I know staffing is great everywhere right now, but this felt very off. - No one is specifically serving you or tells you what the process is, when the food is coming, how to get your second tea/coffee, so it's a big guessing game. Thankfully we sat right next to the kitchen (well, I mean, wasn't the best but for this reason it was) so we could ask for things in between outside customers. - We had a party of four but were split up into two small tables. Same room but that's where all the outside customers came into so it was constantly busy. Couldn't really talk to each other without being loud. - I wasn't too impressed with the food selection. All bread. I was so excited for the fresh baked croissant but it was undercooked and doughy (I did eat it though, by the time we got the food I was starving) - We were told we could get coffee instead of tea for our second drink so I asked for an iced coffee and they were all out of both kinds of iced coffee they had, which doesn't make much sense to me being a coffee shop that also had another sitting after us. It wasn't that I was told to wait and they'd make it, it was just that they're out. We had all warm drinks and were falling asleep, something cold would've been nice. I skipped the second drink because of this. My friend managed to get one before it ran out, I guess, so that's good. I'm being picky here, but for a $55 service, this needs to improve. read more

This hidden gem is newer to Donelson, and has been on my list to check out. It's a super cute cottage converted into a gift shop with a small cafe. I saw they've been offering high tea the past couple of Sundays and called to book the latest one. The high tea was lovely... they had a selection of @highgardentea to choose from, and a tower of snackies which included a havarti grilled cheese with fig jam, sausage balls, biscuits with jam, black forest cakes, and chocolate truffles. This is a place I will definitely frequent to sit down with a good book and have a tea/pastry!! Highly recommend checking it out! read more

This was the most beautiful experience. My sister and I reserved a tea party and everything from the Tea, to the AMAZING soup, and all the lovely pastries, was just phenomenal. The cook was so lovely to talk to as well as the nice lady who served our tea. It was 10/10, and we will be back!! read more

Very disappointing experience. It's $50 per person and I'm not sure what I paid for. We had zero service. We had to walk up to the front to pick out our tea, go back to the front to ask for more hot water (which was lukewarm) and we just received a few little pastries with our tea. The cottage has so much potential, but it doesn't seem like they care about creating a warm, engaging experience for their customers. Sadly, I won't be going back. read more

An unassuming treasure! We've been passing by this place for a year, every time saying we aught to check it out. Well we finally have! It's fantastic. They are closed on Monday's. We ended up going two days in a row. They don't have a huge menu, but the quality makes up for it. It's also a great place to explore for unique gifts. Whatever you do, we recommend the full salad and full sandwich!! Delicious read more

this was our first ever afternoon tea experience and it came with mixed feelings. i will say the staff were exceptional, but the seats we were given were cramped. they have two small tables crammed into one corner of the room. my partner and i had to move our table each time in order to leave our seats to go order tea or use the bathroom. the rest of the tables in the room were of better size, so if you are interested in trying this place, you may want to book ANYTHING but the teeny cramped tables. we were practically seated on top of another set of guests. it was extremely packed and overbooked in my opinion. the sweets were delicious but unfortunately we all were served ice cold quiche. i asked for mine to be heated and was brought a fresh hot slice, and i heard several people around the room express they wish they had made the same request. the tea selection was incredibly tasty and they had many options! we were ready to leave after an hour, despite having a 2 hour booked window for this afternoon excursion. it has epic potential, but we likely won't be back read more

My girlfriends and I were very excited to try this new place we found online. I am sorry to say, we were very dissatisfied with the seasonal lunch selections. After forking out over 20$ , our expectations were not met with the quality or quantity of the food we were presented with. None of of us have any issues with paying for a good value when the good meets high expectations, this however fell drastically short. We wanted it to be good. If you are going to charge these kind of prices.. you might consider beefing up the menu a bit. read more

Troll House Cottage is absolutely amazing! The tea is fantastic, the shop is gorgeous and has so many great products, and the service is unbeatable! The owner went above and beyond for me my first time in the shop when he didn't have to, and for that I am so grateful! If I could give them more stars I would! Highly recommend going to Troll House if you are looking for a friendly place to shop and have a wonderful drink! read more

Absolutely amazing service, vibe, and food. Great place for high tea or to pick up a sweet gift!

Nice little business that I patronized twice when I stopped for coffee. However, I took my daughter there on Saturday to introduce her (she and her husband own 2 vacation rentals in the area) but the shopkeepers were not friendly at all. Guess they were shocked when 2 Black women walked in. Totally different welcome to when it first opened and Cade was there. Don't plan to ever return! read more

I've never left a negative review, well, anywhere but the high tea service concept should be discarded & then started from scratch. The bread & desserts were dry & very little food was served, considering the high price point. I won't be returning. read more

this place has the potential to be great, but manages to fall pretty short of the mark. now don't get me wrong- the aesthetic of the store is superb, the trinkets and little gifts are so charming. however, i dined here for a valentine's dinner which was over $100 total and the food was cold, the focaccia bread wet and too dense and the dessert visually displeasing, as well as bland. once again, it has the potential to be great- i think there was only one chef, so kudos to them for the imaginative menu and getting the food out, it just really wasn't great and i felt sad to spend so much money on food that was so lackluster. i think with more culinary expertise, this place could be amazing. the customer service however was perfect and the haut toddy tea as well! i wanted to love it but instead left with an empty wallet and hungry stomach. i was also really excited for these reservations but wish i went somewhere else in the end. i hate to leave such a bad review because i want this place to succeed- but in the meantime, come here for the gifts and plants, skip the food and get a better meal at cookout. read more
