    Cookies n Cream Ice Cream, raspberry swirl

    We got cookies n cream ice cream and a slice of sugar cookie dough. The cookie dough tasty but a lil salty. It was $4.99 a slice which seemed a lil much that you can buy a whole thing or ready to bake cookie dough at the store for the same cost and it wouldn't be salty. The lady working there was super sweet and said she opened her shop 4 years ago. I got the rasp berry ice cream which had chocolate raspberry buttons and raspberry swirls. It was pretty tasty. Cookies n cream, my daughter couldn't explain but she said she liked it.

    My friend and I dropped by here for a quick dessert after exploring the downtown area. There was only one person working when we arrived, and she was super sweet and helpful! I ordered the Chocolate Chip and Cookies & Cream dough (not pictured), as well as the Coffee Ice Cream with Chocolate Chunks. All were delicious!

    I decided to post about this small business, because I am a small business owner. I understand the doubt and the fear that can consume you if you don't have faith. And when you have faith and you trust God, you do all things unto God. And that even means serving ice cream, or making the best homemade cookie dough in he country. The owner of this business has always shown up to support her community and she tirelessly supports her family. She had a dream and followed it. She faithfully serves and doesn't give up even though there are plenty of reasons to. I hope many others show up to support Downtown Dough dough, not only for the best service and best treats, but because we should always be cheering for the small business owners who answer mostly to Mom and Dad. Cheers to you, Cindy!

    Locally owned by a very friendly and helpful Lady who makes the dough in house!! Lots of Gluten Free and Vegan options. I've cream and sorbet as well as cold drinks! We tried the chocolate chip cookie dough with a scoop of Mint Chocolate Chip and butter Pecan. Awesome flavor on the dough and ice cream-- perfect stop out of the hot sun to enjoy a sweet treat!

    Went for a walk in downtown Chattanooga and stumbled into this spot on a warm muggy day. I ordered a macadamia nut dough and cookies and cream..The ice cream and dough were very tasty. The store owners were nice and greeted me warmly...

    Fabulous. As a resident Chattanoogan with a big sweet tooth I have tried almost every desert place in Chatt and can say that the new Downtown Dough is up there with the best of them. The woman serving us (owner possibly?) was very kind and helpful. She told us about how the cookie dough is made and what makes it different from other competitions like the cookie dough store on northshore. The desserts itself were delicious. They tasted like actual cookie dough, not just some amalgamation that's scooped into an ice cream cup. The dough was COLD, authentic, and tasted like something straight from my mom's kitchen. I really hope this business takes off and has a successful run here in Chatt. It felt like I was at an old time fudge shop at the boardwalk but with the previously forbidden raw cookie dough as the main attraction. I'm also excited to see they have coffee, drinks, and banana popsicles which I'll have to go back for! tl;dr best cookie dough place in chattanooga, if you are caught up in the "craze" that's the no bake cookie dough and left feeling unsatisfied you will find that satisfaction here

    I'll start by saying I ordered the white hot chocolate and squirrel cheesecake to go because we…read morewere wandering around town sightseeing. Staff was friendly. There were a lot of options as far as flavors, sizes, toppings, etc. I stuck with a 12 oz white hot chocolate with whipped cream. Now the white hot chocolate was fantastic. It was real white chocolate and it was a nice bit of sweetness. But the cheesecake was unfortunately disappointing. I don't know if it was over baked or over beaten or what but it had a rubbery jello like texture that's not appealing in the mouth when expecting something different. I could only have two bites before giving up on the $9 slice. I'm torn on this review. And this is because I was so excited and hopeful to try the cute hot chocolate place with desserts that I wanted to love it. But was so disappointed with my dessert. The hot chocolate was fantastic and that being their key thing is what I would try again. But I'd probably never reorder a baked dessert from them as they are not necessarily cheap and I wouldn't want to be disappointed when there are other treat options around the area. The space itself is mountainy fun candy cottage vibe. Serves the purpose of having somewhere to enjoy the treats you've ordered inside.

    Finally made it..I was expecting high quality desserts and hot chocolate…read more I love sweet but Unfortunately, my strawberry dessert was way too sweet, barely finished the cake. The hot chocolate was not worth crossing the street. The macaroons not memorable either. I did not try the actual chocolates. The staff were young and friendly. I appreciated they offered real mug for table service. Large indoor seating area.

    Mmmm, pie. On my…read morelittle day trip to Chattanooga, I wanted to find a dessert or pastry to take home to share with my husband. It was getting late and I was also tired of walking around the city, so I wanted to find a place that I could drive to easily that would have accessible, free parking, and that was still open -- many bakecafes had already closed. A quick Yelp search revealed this place as a great option! I scooted on over and walked inside. Very friendly staff members, super welcoming. The place was clean and smelled AMAZING! No real seating inside but that's okay. They have a cooling drawer and a room temp drawer depending on the need of the pie. I'd say mostly dessert pies are available but they also have a nice selection of quiches and pot pies. Flavors/varieties rotate depending on the day. They'd sold out of a few varieties when I arrived, but I was still able to get plenty of yumminess. They have a deal for four pies at a reduced cost so that's what I got! All pies are individual though you can preorder larger pies if you need one. Since I had the ~2 hour drive back home, I of course had to opt for non-refrigerated options. I wound up with a lemon blueberry chess pie, a chocolate bourbon pecan pie, a regular pecan pie, and a chocolate chess pie. Seriously, they were all delicious! Somewhat surprisingly, I'd say my favorite was the regular pecan pie. Don't get me wrong, pecan pie is a beloved pie of mine...just thought it would go to something with chocolate. But the amount of sweetness, the ratio of gooey inside to nutty outside...just so good! Each pie had a delightfully buttery, flaky crust. You really can tell the difference -- they're the real deal. Hubs and I split a mini pie each night for four nights and the quality really didn't suffer! I'd say they're the perfect size to split, though I'm sure I also could've devoured a whole one if left unattended, lol. Would love to try more flavors in the future. If you're in the area, give them a visit!

It is super welcoming with free parking and an eclectic decor. Vien was our waiter and he was amazing! He helped us with the menu, had some great suggestions and was entertaining and attentive throughout. He made our meal! We started with the House-Made Potato Chip Nachos, and they were fantastic--loaded with flavor and a great way to kick things off. We all agreed they were much better than regular tortilla nachos. For my entrée, I went with the Muffaletta, and it did not disappoint. The bread was perfectly crisp, the sandwich was packed with flavor, and the side of wood-fired vegetables gave it a really nice twist. She had the Shrimp and Crab Po'Boy special, which she absolutely loved, especially paired with the Confusion Potatoes. Those potatoes were definitely worth mentioning on their own. Our tablemates had the Shrimp Po'Boy and Parilla Steak and Shrimp and both loved their meal. And then came dessert: Beignets. Light, warm, and dusted just right, they brought back memories of the French Quarter in New Orleans. A pretty great way to finish the meal. We wish we were closer to Chattanooga so we could frequent this place often.

    We stood in line waiting to tell them we were here for our reservation, and when we got up they…read morewere extremely rude and said they were about to cancel our reservation... while we had been standing in the line caused by their slow service. Their side salad also costs $8 and is honestly insulting. Ordered as my main meal and was not told that it was small or anything like that. For $8, one would assume it would be more substantial.

    This ice cream shop is located right near the pedestrian bridge (currently closed but reportedly…read moreopening in September 2026?). Choose a base (chocolate vs vanilla yogurt or ice cream) + cup/cone - greater than $0.5 + toppings ranging from $.75-$.95. We ended up getting Vanilla ice cream with cookies and creme as well as chocolate yogurt + cookie dough for our little one. Portion sizes were large and tasty. Pricing was $$ but so is most ice cream shops in the area. Service was quick and the young workers in the store were quick and attentive. The only downside is that if there are any allergies to any of the items (including over 10+ nuts, I would NOT recommend as they do a very simple water wash of the ice cream mixing machines).

In addition to the Google listing and web site, I also just looked at your Facebook page. It also says 9 am. If your hours change, update your online listings and your posted door hours. It's inconsiderate to let customers waste time and money because you can't be bothered to keep basic business information accurate.
