    I've been to Dozen many many times over the years. Very grateful for their new-ish location with a lot more space! They have about 20 parking spots right around the building, it is normally full but I've always found a spot. I think there is additional parking in an adjacent lot, but I'm often with my kids or just running in super fast so I've never used it. Sometimes it is very busy and others not so much, I think peak times are normal eating hours & weekends. I will say the line typically moves slowly. The employees are nice, friendly and helpful. The chocolate chip pecan cookie might be the best in nashville, totally underrated and is only $2.50. The coffee is great. The food is very good and so reasonably priced, I love the chicken salad sandwich. The outdoor area is great and I appreciate the children's play items. My kids will typically play for a bit and/or they have some markers and coloring sheets. Great & easy place to come as a family. Overall just a super solid spot for coffee and/or food. I would avoid peak times!

    Dozen Bakery is my go-to bakery for a quick sourdough fix on a Saturday morning. This place can get extremely busy, but I still don't mind waiting in line for their fresh bread. They also have an excellent brunch menu and plenty of indoor seating. The bakery has a glass display case that offers a great view of their fresh sweet treats, including cakes and cookies.

    Dozen is a solid choice for a curated coffee or pastry. Their bread sold by the loaf or baguette is arguably the best in the city and the sourdough is second only to what you can find in San Francisco. The cafe itself is charming and spacious, but almost always still somehow packed full of patrons. They sell some brunch and lunch items as well as a daily rotation of sweet and savory pastries. They also sell cute merch - there truly is something for everyone here.

    I have been to Dozen Bakery a dozen times by now, even before it relocated. This bakery has an excellent selection of baked goods and pastries that sell like hotcakes. I love the newer location, as the space is larger and there is ample parking. The bakery can get very busy, so I always plan to come early. I usually drop in to quickly pick up their sourdough bread, which I love for how fresh and high-quality it is! I have tried their regular sourdough loaf, which is really good, but my current favorite is their olive & herb sourdough. I usually overlook their pastry section, but the last time I visited, I tried the coffee crumble cake. It was incredibly soft, buttery, and rich. I devoured it in no time.

    Quiche plus pasta salad

    Dozen is a great brunch option if you are in the Berry Hill neighborhood! I stopped in with my BF right before it got very busy. We ordered at the counter and grabbed a number. The space is large and a big industrial with a large patio half covered. We tried an apricot scone with our oat milk lattes, and they both were delicious and the lattes came out quickly. The scone was flavorful and I would definitely try more of those! We ordered the quiche of the day which was mushroom and potato, and a side pasta salad with fresh kale and enjoyed both of those. The focaccia breakfast sandwich was very photogenic and the bread was great but it came with a thick roasted red pepper pesto that was unfortunately really overpowering and a bit messy. It was like it should have worked but just didn't for some reason. The homemade hot sauce was absolutely worth it and so good (and I am a very picky with my hot sauce!) Dozen is a well-known Nashville staple that has a great reputation, just get the focaccia without the pesto if you want to try it!

    Salami sandwich

    I was in Nashville for a wedding and my Uber driver told me I had to stop by Dozen Bakery! I was leaving to drive back to Ohio but wanted a small breakfast that would tide me over for the journey and also wanted to support a local business. I love bakeries and baked goods and Dozen Bakery was easy to get to and had parking, so the decision was an easy one about stopping in. I'm so glad I got the reccomendation! I love sweet stuff for breakfast and 99.99% of the time, I need breakfast food to start my day, even if I have an early lunch planned. My first meal has to have a breakfast item. However, while I did grab some pastries to enjoy and bring home to my family, the Salami Sandwich caught my eye and I knew it would be delicious. I was blown away about the quality and taste and that it got me to crave a lunch sandwich for breakfast! I brought home a cherry orange galette and poppyseed rugelach for my family and they were incredible! The flavors were unique. The service was quick. I had to wait in line maybe 10 minutes at most. My food and order was quickly given to me. I liked the vibe of Dozen Bakery. It was very spacious. Dozen Bakery is definitely at the top of my list for my next trip to Nashville!

    This updated and fairly new location for Dozen Bakery is such a welcome sight when in the area! Situated in a small complex/shared building alongside Cyanide Cider, this Dozen Bakery is bright, welcoming, charming, cute...legit all the things! And even has a large patio in addition to a sprawling dining room! Oh, and they have counter seating with windows into the kitchen, so you get a front row seat to all the goods being made! I have popped by Dozen a handful of times and each visit is equally as great. The staff, including the owners, are always friendly, welcoming and helpful. While I usually stop by for a cold brew and baked good, they have a fairly expansive menu of all things breakfast and lunch, and even dessert. My go-to is always a cold brew with a few of their house made syrups alongside anything focaccia based...as the bread is sooooo good! Overall, Dozen Bakery is a great spot with true neighborhood coffee shop/bakery vibes. So happy to see their expansion and can't wait to see what the future holds for them - I'm here for it!

    Delicious chicken salad sandwich
    Nathan D.

    Dropped in before I flew out of Nashville at the suggestion of my brother and sister in law. ... LOVED IT! got the perri perri sandwich a chocolate chip cookie, a chocolate Madeleine and tried my sister in law's chicken salad sandwich.... OMG! The sandwiches were perfect.. right amount of heat (where applicable) , flavors perfectly balanced .. not overly sauce and not dry. This place is awesome!

    Play area on the outdoor patio, safely positioned as far as possible from the parking lot.

    Dozen Bakery lived up to the rave reviews for me! Great food, great sweets, great drinks, friendly employees, and a little play area on the patio. My weekend lunch experience was excellent. Parking was a bit tough, but some patience and circling paid off. There are spots in front and along the patio side. It's just a very popular spot so it fills quickly. It was a Saturday morning so a line to order was to be expected. The employees were doing their best to move through the line. There was a bit of a wait for food and drink, but I expected that when I saw how busy they were. It really wasn't a big deal because they have a little playhouse on the patio for kids! It's in a corner of the patio, far from the parking lot. I absolutely love that they have this for kids. The weekend brunch menu made it hard to choose just one item. It is unique and better than a typical brunch menu. The pricing was very reasonable for food and pastries. My Iced Orange Cuban was very good. They use Crema coffee which is always delicious. I liked the chocolate shavings on top to enhance the flavor. My daughter enjoyed her Chocolate Milk. We went with the option to have them add mocha to milk, but they have milk boxes too. The Cucumber Gazpacho was so wonderfully refreshing on a hot day. The flavors in this worked so well. The Summer Squash Sandwich had an interesting variety of ingredients that were flavorful. It had creamy burrata, grilled zucchini and squash, Calabrian chili vinaigrette, fried almonds, tomato almond pesto, and basil. I dream of enjoying this again! The focaccia was a good choice for this sandwich. A side of bacon wasn't very flavorful. We'd pass on that next time. The pastries and baked goods we had were excellent. The Chocolate Croissant was perfectly buttery and flaky. The Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookie was one of the best cookies I've ever had. The flavor was excellent. The Peanut Butter Cookie was also great. The Blueberry Muffin was good enough for my kids to fight over it. Dozen Bakery is one I will definitely visit again!

    Chicken salad sandwich - incredible
    Gab G.

    Came on a Saturday at 12:20 PM and there was a long line, but we had our sandwich and other goodies by 12:50. They were sold out of the famed focaccia egg sandwich (and the peach pie, key lime pie, special croissant etc) so will have to come early next time! I tried: + Iced coffee + Chicken salad sandwich + Lavender lemon pie + Chocolate chip pecan cookie + Rhubarb ginger bar + Corn and blueberry Madeline + oatmeal cranberry walnut cookie + Peanut butter cookie The sandwich was my absolute favorite thing - sooo good. Pie, chocolate chip pecan cookie and oatmeal cranberry cookie were also perfect. Rhubarb ginger bar was another standout. Prices are also really good - cookies are $2.50 and pie is $5!!

    Awesome bakery & sandwich shop! The interior is cute and comfortable! Lots of great menu items!

    Focaccia egg sandwich

    Dozen Bakery has always been a favorite, but their new expanded space takes it to the next level. The interior is light-filled and welcoming, and the huge patio is perfect for sunny mornings, catching up with friends, or getting some work done with a coffee in hand. The coffee is solid and consistent, and while the sweet pastries don't always stand out for me, the savory options are excellent. My usual hits: the ham & cheese croissant, savory scones, and the salami sandwich on baguette -- all thoughtfully made and full of flavor. Free parking, lots of indoor/outdoor seating, fast/friendly service! Definitely a spot I continue to go back to.

    Delicious. Only complaint is that it's become too popular. Bread is fantastic in particular, and try the soups.

My friends loved it too and the birthday girl was raving about it all weekend!!

    Extremely disappointing presentation. Definitely not worth the money…read more We ordered over the phone and email for our Bachelorette weekend and were promised the airbrushed buttercream photo that we sent in. The fondant version is what we got complete with mis-spelling and child like painted on details. After notifying Kelly that we were not happy with the presentation she proceeded to text a bunch of photos of cakes she's done that turned out great, incessantly defending her sub-par work. She blamed the extreme heat for inability to complete as ordered, they tried putting it in the freezer to keep it cold but just too hot out. She said she would have directed us differently as far as type of cake decor if she had known the weather would be so hot- we ordered this cake far in advance and the the heat wave was anticipated days before we arrived. It really just seems like the type of detail we wanted was not something this bakery is capable of doing. We had the cake delivered to the house before we got there which was super convenient. Only got concerned with this after Kelly told us to make sure to lock our doors at night since we were in a "bad" neighborhood. Since the bakery had the code to our doors and she was texting this late at night, this comment was received as threatening and we became concerned for our safety. The customer service and service recovery is something this bakery really needs to work on, we will NEVER be working with them again. Only positives... She did acknowledge that the order looked very rushed and gave us 10% refund. The cake tasted great, but just not worth the money in my opinion.

    Brightside Bake Shop is my absolute latest discovery, and I cannot believe I missed this place for…read moreso long.First off, I am immensely grateful whenever a bakery has super convenient parking right outside. I arrived early around 8:00 a.m. on a Saturday and immediately noticed a steady stream of people pulling up, grabbing bakes, and heading out. The staff was incredibly cheerful and welcoming, especially for a busy Saturday morning and I really appreciate that. The bakery's display case looked stunning, with every pastry and cookies looking more tempting than the last. I spotted a gorgeous mango croissant that caught my eye, though I decided to save that one for a return trip. I really appreciate a bakery that offers a great balance between savory and sweet options. Our order included an Everything Bagel Croissant, a Prosciutto Croissant, an Almond Chocolate Croissant, and a Monkey Bread. The Everything Bagel Croissant was an absolute genius combination. With a dollop of cream cheese right in the center and everything bagel seasoning on top, it brought the absolute best of my two favorite breakfast worlds together. The Prosciutto Croissant apparently tasted good, my husband claimed! On the sweet side, I thought the Almond Chocolate Croissant was decent. The frangipane was tasty, though a bit on the sweeter side, and I wish there was a bit more dark chocolate to balance that sweetness out. The real star of the show for me, however, was the Monkey Bread. It was gooey, pillowy, incredibly generous with the caramel, and loaded with sticky pecans. It felt like total perfection. I am definitely returning soon to try more.

They had a solid selection of pastries available, though no cookies that morning (I've had them here before, so I was a little disappointed to miss those). The staff member immediately recommended the cinnamon roll, so I went with that. I took it home and warmed it up before sharing it with my family, and that definitely made a difference, it was excellent warm. I don't think it would've had the same impact eaten cold. Service was quick, in-and-out in just a few minutes. I didn't notice much in terms of seating, so it seems more grab-and-go than a place to linger. Overall, simple visit but a very strong cinnamon roll recommendation.
