Being my first time visiting Nashville I did a little research just before and found out this is…read morethe home of the Goo Goo Cluster! As a lover of fun treats this was just the info I want to know about. The shop/factory is located in the busiest area of downtown so be prepared to find expensive parking if you are driving(we paid $32 for 2 hrs) This was such a fun stop though! The day we were there I saw two separate groups doing the make your own goo goo tour. We didn't plan that far ahead so decided to just do the design your own and the workers made it for us using our custom fillings and coatings. It took only about 15 min after ordering to be done. It was about 90 degrees out the day we went so we sat at one of the stools to give our creation a taste at its freshest and not risk it melting. It was delicious of course! If you go, don't forget to check out the Premium limited edition flavors. During our visit they had Fluffer Crunch, The Howie and PB &P. We almost purchased the Fluffer Crunch but we decided we had enough candy at this point. Next time!

We accidently ran across it while heading to the Lainey Wilson place next door. Once I saw it, I had to stop in. Inside is a homage to the Goo Goo Cluster with history, trivia and lots of product sold to go. I do wish they had free samples available. If so, I probably would've bought more product. We bought a few items as it was and are still enjoying them back home in the Seattle area. This place is fun to check out and learn about the Goo Goo Cluster.

The atmosphere alone makes you want to stay awhile. The cocktails were outstanding--fresh, flavorful, and actually boozy! I ordered the Daphne, and we also had a rosé and an espresso martini. Every drink was not only beautiful but genuinely delicious. The food was an absolute A+. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. The cucumber chickpea salad was incredible, the hummus with spiced lamb and olive tapenade was amazing, and the warm pita took it to another level. My grilled shrimp was perfectly cooked, fresh, and so satisfying. This was our first stop in Nashville after arriving from Chicago, and it set the bar high for the rest of the trip. We were dining with a local friend and made sure to tell them what a great recommendation it was. Highly recommend--Sadie's is a must-visit when you're in Nashville!

He obviously has been in the business a while. He made the tour easy to understand and walked us through the entire process. It's really awesome they make everything from scratch and using so few ingredients. You can really taste the quality of their chocolate. Sadly, they didn't have the grinding machines with the chocolate in them because they were out of the beans! They were having shipping issues with their stock. But we were able to taste a bit of everything they sold which was really cool. We picked up their dark and milk chocolate bar at the end of the tour. Highly recommend for a bit of fun!

I've been on a bit of a chocolate binge lately and decided to stop by Olive and Sinclair Chocolate…read morewhile we were in town. Per some sources, they are the first bean to bar chocolate maker in Tennessee, and they even offer weekly factory tours, although I wasn't able to make it in time for one. Olive and Sinclair has a relatively small retail area. They have all of their products on display and more importantly, have tons of samples! I ended up trying basically everything. The chocolatier doesn't advertise where they source their cocoa from but I asked an employee and she said they switch it up all the time. Apparently the current batch is from Peru, which gives the chocolate a pretty neutral taste at the start but then transitions to a kind of sharper dried fruit taste. They also sell several types of caramels. The Ghost Pepper Caramel starts with the caramel sweetness. It's only a second or two later that some heats starts to show up. I'm not sure how much ghost pepper they actually use; the heat is a bit more than just a warmth, but isn't nearly to the point of being painful. The heat lingers for quite a while, enough that I had to wait a good five minutes before trying another caramel! Interestingly I think this one has the "cleanest" caramel taste, at least at the start before the pepper kicks in! The Duck Fat Caramel has similar sweet undertones but adds on a really savory and almost meaty element on top. The Sea Salt & Vinegar Caramel has a light vinegar scent. It starts with sweetness and a light tang, but then the vinegar gets stronger. It never gets to the point of tasting like a vinaigrette, but is quite noticeable. To be honest, I'm not a fan of any of the caramels. They are certainly unique and nice to try though! I ended up picking some of their more intriguing products - the Bourbon Nib Brittle and the Smoked Nib Brittle - for gifts. From what I tried in store, they're both exactly as the names imply: super bourbon forward sweet candy, and a surprisingly intense smoky sweet. Yum! Olive and Sinclair Chocolate is definitely a place to pick up some unique local gifts! I wish I had made it in time for one of their tours.
