I love sitting and working or reading in the café area attached to the grocery store! Seats are plenty spaced apart so it doesn't feel claustrophobic like a typical coffee shop. Food and coffee is great as well. read more

If you're visiting Cookeville, don't miss Meg's Bread. I wish I had brought an ice chest to bring a bunch home. So many delicious choices! We were packing a picnic lunch to take to see some nearby waterfalls, so we picked up a cheesy jalapeños bread, and a loaf of Rosemary garlic sourdough. We were too early for the artichoke and olive focaccia. The young man waiting on us was very helpful. I can't wait to visit again...I will be prepared to tote a bunch home! read more

Best bakery around with very nice staff. I always get a boule and try whatever pastry I haven't seen before. Love it all.

Lovely food here. Everything I had was good (ham and cheese croissant; egg and cheese biscuit). But the lemon danish was STELLAR. Don't miss it. read more

Must be good Sells out first thing every day A ton of neat food items in the store Get there before they open I was told I tried twice and missed the bread read more

Amazing everything. I will drive from Nashville just to eat anything from Meg's bread. You cannot go wrong with any of their pastries. My favorites so far are: strawberry rhubarb hand pie, matcha rose olive oil cake, and any of their bostocks. Saturday pizzas are DELICIOUS. The special pizza is a must. Bagels and biscuits for the breakfast sandwiches over at West Side Grocery sell out FAST. The sandwiches on Meg's bread are also to die for - again, I have not found a better sandwich in Nashville yet. Btw, they are huge and you can easily split one sandwich between 2 people. I love supporting this local business and hope they continue to make delicious items for a very long time. read more

Had lunch at West Side Grocery, Meg's Bread's sister business. Food was decent although the potatoes on my sandwich were undercooked and it tasted faintly of pickle. There aren't many whole foods options. Service is as expected; we waited around 10 minutes for our food. The place was bustling but had good vibes. The dining area was a little cold for my liking. The food is kinda pricey. read more

We popped in last minute as we walked by. This was our 1st visit about 15 minutes before closing. Customer service was great. We purchased a loaf of rye bread that was phenomenal! The cookies and cake were delicious! Update: We stop in again...this place was hopping! Service was great..again! We got new goodies this time and they were just as delicious as the last ones...this time I got pictures! read more

Get in line...literally! We first stopped in at the grocery store and had an amazing breakfast at the little café... The breakfast sandwich was definitely a must do again! We waited for the bakery to open and people started lining up about 15 minutes before opening, so we got in line and are glad we did! The line quickly filled up, and when they open the doors, they took each person through the line to get their order and we were not disappointed. We tried the plain croissant, the chocolate croissant, the cinnamon roll, multiple cookies, sourdough breads, and a salted chocolate hand pie. Delish! Not the best we've ever had, but pretty darn good and the local vibe just makes it! Everyone is friendly and you can literally see their labor as you go through the line and look at all the machines and racks of pastries! Check them out! read more

I drive to Cookeville every once in a while. I was fortunate to go there one day and was looking for a breakfast treat. Meg's bread was incredible! In addition to some scrumptious pastries, I got a loaf of cinnamon bread. To say I dream about this bread tells you how much I love it. Once I made that last piece of toast, I started planning when I could make it back for more. Maybe today !!!? read more

This place is THE spot. The selection of baked goods and bread is top tier. They think of every detail to add to the goods to make it not only tasty but also pretty. I bought a parmesan thyme foccacia, pumpkin cream cheese tart, and a olive sourdough. I tried the foccacia right when I got into my car and it was still VERY warm and crispy. May I add it is the best foccacia I have ever had and for the price I will come back every weekend!! read more

We finally tried the pizza. WOW. The crust is perfectly chewy and is the highlight of the pizza. The cheese is perfectly fresh, and the toppings on the specialty pizzas are unique, but don't forget there is pepperoni and cheese also. To order, just go to the register, pick up some baked goods on the way. While you wait, take a look at the grocery next door, pick up some coffee in the back at the deli. If it's nice, you can sit on the patio while you wait, or enjoy your pizza in the sun! Meg's pizza is going to be a part of our weekend routine from now on! I particularly enjoy how pleasant the staff is! The service at the bakery, grocery and deli are above par! read more

Stopped to look for Italian bread and found naturally leavened sourdough assortment instead. We got the Parmesan rosemary loaf plus 4 beautiful apple apricot tarts for dessert with friends later tonight. We also got 2 ham and cheese croissants and 2 coffees. Total was ~$45. Croissants were delicious. I'll co e back later and update on bread and tarts. Lovely! read more

What a great spot! Delicious coffee, beautiful pastries, convenient, organic grocery store. Very reasonably priced for quality ingredients. Indoor/outdoor seating. Highly recommend! read more

Bread is amazing, the store is very pricey but it's the price of a convenience of nice Main Street store for fresh produce, meats and other health foods you can't get elsewhere here in TN (most places at least). If you can order online or travel to local business that sell items like the fresh meat you can buy most of it for less. Most notably the price of the loose tea but most people aren't willing to buy bulk herbs and create their own tea blends. So if you are looking for fresh healthy options for you and your family even fresh made meals and salads this place is awesome. read more

Great bakery. The Raisin Cinnamon is delicious. Service is great. The only problem I've had is they sometimes run out of some items before I get there. read more

To add to my original review, Meg's Bread is a must-visit for coffee lovers in Cookeville. Collin, a true wizard behind the bar, makes the best cortado in town. Don't miss the exceptional espresso--rich, smooth, and crafted with care. Make sure to order one when you stop in. read more

Super friendly staff happy to answer questions about their goods. I had only picked up their treats at a local coffee shop until I found out that the bakery had opened up to sell their products directly. They have a great assortment of baked goods and breads. The most notable item I had in this visit was the Peach Cornmeal Olive Oil Cakes. They were so moist and delicious! read more

So glad there's an actual authentic sourdough place in cookeville! It's so hard to find quality bread. There are many that claim to make sourdough but if you read the ingredients it contains, bleached flour, potato flour, sugar, canola oil, etc. Yo, that is not sourdough. Meg's Bread uses high quality flour and minimal ingredients... what a true sourdough is supposed to be! read more

Meg's Bread is a fount in the wilderness. Artisanal bread seems to be close to non existent in Tennessee. However, this wondrous young business woman not only found a way to profit from her dedication to old world style but triumphantly flourish in an area that hasn't necessarily learned to value this style of bread. Her lovingily crafted products are a bit pricy but when you couple quality ingredients with love and technique you get something special that cannot be ignored and must be savored. read more

I took a sourdough bread-making class from them this week and it was incredible! So much information and hands-on learning in a great setting with wonderful teachers. Went home with two loaves of delicious freshly baked bread, some sourdough starter, lots of information and detailed instructions, and a great memory of my time in Cookeville. Thank you Meg's Bread! read more

Some of the best sourdough bread we have ever had. Has real sourdough taste with a wonderful crunchy crust. Their pizza looked and smelled awrsome read more

Nice spot, hard to find the prices for the different breads, but who cares. The prices for the sandwiches were on paper taped to the counters. Outstanding sliced white sourdough bread. The chocolate stuffed croissant was perfect!!! read more

Wandered in during Art Prowl in Cookeville. Bought 2 loaves and gave one to friends (sourdough and sourdough cinnamon raisin). Thought they were kind of expensive UNTIL.. we ate some this morning. Without ANY doubt whatsoever, the BEST sourdough bread we have EVER tasted (and we have lived a long time and lived in 5 states and several cities and this beats any sourdough bread from anywhere. GREAT flavor, great texture, it is simply delicious. Cant wait to try other items from this bakery BUT it is hard to imagine anything better than the bread we got yesterday. TRY IT! You will be a fan. Did I say that the atmosphere was great, the people were friendly, the store was fun. NONE of which mattered AFTER we tasted the best sourdough bread we have ever had! read more

Best sourdough bread in town, friendly service. We've checked everywhere no one compares to there sourdough bread. We moved here from the central coast in California so maybe we're spoiled with great bread but this place is a close second. Garry read more

What a little treat in cookville! Had an amazing tuna sandwich on the best homemade bread and an olive cake pastry that was delicious. The staff was super friendly and everything was clean and well thought of. read more

This is an amazing find in Cookeville. So we will go through every item tried and the store itself: 1. ambience: clean, alt-country-folk music playing, rustic with an open kitchen. No seating. (hours a little inconvenient) 2. plain croissant: A little dense, other than that like a French croissant, best in town (this place does not have a lot of competition). I would add that the flakey crust competes with NYC staples, Maman and Mille Feuilles and that with a thinner interior these could be PARFAIT. 3. olive sourdough: very good sourdough, great amount of olives, perfect texture and we got lucky it was straight out of the oven! 4. soup: I think this was an apple, squash, ginger soup, with the option of additional chives. This soup was quite delicious for a spoonful or two, but for a whole bowl it is a bit too strong on the ginger. We added a dollop of sour cream that helped. However, I would say that Meg's has not perfected the soups to the extent it has perfected the bread options. 5. baguette: Surprisingly this was a sourdough baguette. Slices came for no additional charge with the soup. These were delicious and a perfect consistency. I hope that in the future they have traditional non-sourdough baguettes. 6.almond pinwheel: Very similar to a almond croissant. A very pretty shape. 7.morning roll: A fluffy inside just like the 2 other croissant-ish pastries and a beautiful shape. I personally think that they went a little hard on the powdered sugar but my fellow taste-mates disagree. The cinnamon in the inside was very good. In conclusion, we love Meg's bread!!! As big city dwellers, it is nice to have great French pastries that rival Paris and NYC without any pretense. If only this was open in the morning so we could get croissants for breakfast, or if they only had an espresso bar-- but this is only the beginning of a great Cookeville business. read more

Meg's Bread is a wonderful bakery that offers daily specials. They use local farmers for fresh vegetables and fruit. The associates are always friendly and pleasant to visit with.

Meg's Bread - Megs bread - Bakeries Near Me - Cookeville, Tennessee

We recently became converts to the prebiotic value of long-proof sourdough bread, and the revelation that most wheat-sensitive people can eat sourdough with impunity. We have become aficionados. According to the web site for this woman's shop, they source local and sustainable ingredients and adjuncts, unprocessed flours. Long-proof sourdough is the best out there, and hers fills the bill. The taste is extraordinary, the behavior of the dough within each different finished product offers variety, and the creations themselves offer a variety of marvelous flavors. During our trip, we tried the olive loaf, rosemary loaf, focaccia with parmigiana, croissants (light, soft, gentle crust, and full of textures! hold me back! I could eat a truckload!), cranberry walnut. Came back for more three times before leaving the area, stocking up for the rest of the trip. Also, there is a little frige with a variety of adjunct foodie items like kombucha, cultured vegs - amazingly tasty microbial stock created the excellent Short Mountain Cultures Sour Roots Kraut we tried. And the coconut kefir was beautifully thick, aromatic and tasty as well... Lovely and personable staff, eco-friendly packaging, pleasant, living air about the place, - a glowing gem in an otherwise stale environment. Didn't occur to us to save photos - we just dug in and relished... read more
