Big thank you to the locals I met last night at La Altena for recommending this place! The wife, Anna, stated "if you want a good cup of coffee and an excellent pastry, this is your morning stop!" [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even a little after 10am on a Saturday, you can tell this place is a very popular hangout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I waited in line for about 10 minutes, but the line moves fast. I concur with other reviewers that the staff is so friendly, helpful and energetic. I ordered a Cafe Au Lait with a shot of caramel syrup. Once I looked at the pastry items, I knew the Blueberry Lavender scone had my name all over it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I sat outside on a sidewalk bistro table and enjoyed both items immensely on a gorgeous Chattanooga morning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place also has inside seating as well as a nice patio setup.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So happy I got to experience this place! (P.S. The line is still out the door when I left!) :) read more

You enter into a broad space with merchandise and tables with a counter of breads and dessert treats. The idea is to order and pay at the counter and to receive a number for your table. We didn't know and went straight to outdoor seating, which worked out because we got a table and about a minute later we figured out the ordering process. I ordered the chicken salad croissant for my wife, then the California club for myself and then I had to order quiche Lorraine for the table. I had filtered tap water for my drink and my wife had a can of Diet Coke with a slice of lemon and ice in a cup, provided. Service was pretty quick, between our order placement and table delivery it was 7 minutes. The quiche was custardy inside with a delicious hint of caramelized shallots to go with the bacon and cheese/egg filling. The bacon did not overwhelm. The crust was perfectly baked and a nice flakey crust. The accompanying arugula and onion salad dresses with oil and vinegar and seasonings was an excellent pairing of freshness with the richer quiche. This is a big hit, as expected when advertised on the menu as "available until sold out." The California Club was on 6 grain toasted bread with an avocado spread and aioli, bacon, turkey, tomato and lettuce. I really liked the balance of each component in this sandwich, such that nothing dominated the flavors and each distinctive was individually identifiable in the contribution to the whole sandwich. The portion was just right. The chicken salad was also good, but was the bronze medal winner compared to the other two. The croissant was flaky, but not too much. The chicken salad had just a hint of lemon and was not overwhelmed with aioli, just the right balance. This was a fantastic meal. We liked this so much, we chose to buy two loaves of bread to go, a Chattanooga Sourdough and a garlic Parmesan and also a 5 lb bag of in house ground bread flour. I need one of these in Greenville, SC, my hometown. Last thing to note, you bus your own table and there is a dish basin nearby the outside dining area in which to place your dishes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This was an excellent lunch spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff were also friendly and patiently helpful. This is a must visit spot when visiting or living in Chattanooga! read more

Stopped in because of all of the great reviews I saw about this place. We stopped in a little after they opened on a Saturday morning, and they were already busy. Parking wasn't too bad since we were there so early but there is only a little bit of paid street parking nearby from what I can tell. The woman who took our order was very efficient. We ordered and were able to get our pastries and coffees within 5 minutes. I got a chocolate croissant (my favorite), my partner got a cinnamon roll (his favorite), and then we each got one of their seasonal scones. I got the blackberry lemon lavender and he got the raspberry pistachio. We also ordered some of their seasonal specialty coffees. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the flavor of mine but I know I enjoyed it. My partner got one that almost made me think of an orange creamsicle - he was very pleased. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This space gets busy quick, and it's obvious why! You should definitely stop in at Niedlov's if you're in Chattanooga.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I've been here only twice but the food and aesthetic never disappoints.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When you enter you're greeted with neat merch and a wide variety menu with lots of coffee options and pastries. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff is always so friendly and even though it tends to get crowded because the food is so good, you can usually find a spot to sit and enjoy your treats with both indoor and outdoor options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Whenever I visit I love stopping here for a snack and if you're smart, go early in the morning to get everything fresh and when all of the options are available as things sell out fast! read more

I was in town for a work trip, and this bakery was very close to my hotel. Stopped in the first morning and got a pastry, biscuit sandwich, and a hot latte to go. That was so good, I went back the second day and ate in. That day I tried their breakfast plate, and that was excellent. High praise for the bacon, which comes from the butcher shop next door. The fried potatoes were also great! I opted for their sourdough toast, and enjoyed it so much I got a loaf to take home when I left. Their coffee drinks are very good - I enjoyed my latte both days. Service was very prompt - you order at the counter and they will bring food to your table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was there mid-morning on a Friday, and it was packed![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a really nice vibe, with an outdoor patio and the indoor seating area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After eating here, I can understand why they were nominated for a James Beard award. If you are ever in Chattanooga, this is worth the effort! 5/5, would absolutely go back! read more

Stopped in on a weekday afternoon while visiting Chattanooga. As mentioned in my Honey Seed review, I learned that I am not a fan of Montreal bagels, but I think I liked this one a little more than the other. I also got a chocolate croissant, which was yummy. I was a little concerned when I couldn't find the chocolate inside, but it was there!! My gf got a gingerbread cookie, which smelled so strongly but she said didn't have a strong taste. We also got a loaf of sourdough bread, which was good but maybe not as sourdough-y as we were hoping for. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was pretty crowded but the employee who helped us was very nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We just got the items to go but there's a nice little seating area and patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Niedlov's is such a great spot in Chattanooga! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is cozy inside with lots of light and has an outdoor patio as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It gets very busy (it's popular because it's so good!) and there's often a line, but at off hours, there's often seats.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Here are some of my faves: Apple caramel danish (seasonal): amazing! Whipped cream and caramel on top, stuffed with apples and apple cream cheese inside Raspberry pistachio scone: perfect balance of pistachios and raspberry (to me, that means heavy on the pistachios!) Very natural flavors with big pieces of pistachio within the scone. Gruyere bacon chive scone: buttery, savory, delicious Pistachio stick: laminated pastry, light with a pistachio frangipane and cream inside Cruffin: I tried the cookies & cream one--moister than others I've had and delightful. They change the flavor every week, I think. Brussels sprouts: This became a regular lunch for me (bacon, Brussels sprouts, ranch); tossing it in ranch dressing is genius English muffins: So plush and fluffy! Soaks up butter really well. Delightful! Miso kale and shiitake skillet- delicious, savory, and cheesy! Loved it--great depth of flavor The sourdough bread is also great! The Friday night pizza was delicious as well, although quite oily. Honestly, you can't go wrong with the menu here--I only wish I'd tried even more things. Staff can be very friendly and generous, and they have a shelf with half-price breads as well as a pastry happy hour. This spot is truly a gem! read more

Niedlov's Bakery & Cafe - cappuccino - Bakeries Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Absolutely loved this cafe to bits! It had been on my list for a while now and I finally got a chance to visit. There was a wait because it was a weekend but it wasn't too bad. I ordered the seeded sourdough, a sourdough sandwich, chai, a cookie (whose name I'm forgetting) sweet and savory scones. Everything was was crazy delicious! I'm not even a sandwich person and I thoroughly enjoyed it, even wanting seconds lol. The chai was so refreshing. The scones were indescribably flavorful. I could literally visit this bakery everyday if I lived closer. Worth the journey and a revisit! read more

On my recent adventure to Chattanooga, my friend told me that I had to try Niedlov's Bakery, and it was truly everything it was described to be. I was hesitant when we arrived, seeing a line out the door and around the corner. However that line moved so fasts Nied did amazing getting people in and out. They had a huge selection of merch that was themed perfect to their mission and goals. The "We're all bread inside" design was probably my favorite. For meals, I got the Niedlov's Breakfast and my friend got the Ham and Gruyère Skillet. I loved what I got, but when I go again I think I will try a skillet because they all smelled amazing! I also got a Gruyère Bacon Chive Scone and a Orange Pan Suisse to take on the road. Both were outstanding. For my drink, I got one of their Blueberry Basil Matcha. I was a little nervous about the basil, but I can genuinely say it was my favorite drink of my entire trip. Lastly I want to say a special thank you to the staff. We thought we weren't going to be able to find a table, but when we found one at the last second, they actually offered to switch my meal to a skillet since they can't do those to go. Absolutely a five star experience and I am already anticipating my next visit. read more

Oh my, where do I start!? We came here for lunch. First, Niedlov will validate your parking so make sure you do that as soon as you walk in to avoid having to pay for parking. Second, the Turkey Goat and Rustic Panini were delicious!! So flavorful and beautifully prepared. Our neighboring table order a tomato torte and the tomatoes on that dish look stunning. I will definitely be trying that during our next visit. We also ordered a bowl of the Tomato Bisque and it was by far the absolute best tomato bisque/soup I've ever had. I'm not sure what I liked most, my bisque or my sandwich. Of course we couldn't pass up the beautiful pastries so we ordered those to-go. I told my husband if the pastries were as good as our meal, we'd be in for a treat. Well let me tell you, they did not disappoint and lived up to expectations! The cinnamon roll hits all the of the heart's desires and some! The raspberry croissant was wonderfully flakey and the raspberry filling was so incredibly fresh. Absolutely delicious! Do yourself a favor and don't pass by Niedlov's during your visit to Chattanooga. It will be a highlight of your visit! Great service, great environment and amazing food!! read more

Was really looking forward to trying this spot as there was a line out the door on a Saturday afternoon. There were still some pastries left. I got the last banana monkey bread, almond croissant, and chocolate croissant. Croissants are soft and easy to bite into...if you like those kinds of croissants (my husband). I prefer crispy outsides and more filling - there could definitely be more almond paste and the chocolate batons were only on the left side if the chocolate croissant - wished it was even/there was another baton on the left side. Texture of croissants reminded me of the texture of Costco croissants rather than from a french bakery. The banana monkey bread was good, but didn't get any banana or cinnamon flavor. Maybe their bread is better? I think they are known for that. read more

My daughter and I visited Niedlov's on our final day in Chattanooga. It was walking distance from our hotel "The Choo Choo Chalet". I was a little nervous that the line out the door was going to take forever, but it moved pretty fast. They had a a wide range of bakery items, breakfast foods, and coffee. My daughter and I both ordered specialty coffees, shared an egg breakfast sandwich, and took home some cookies. Everything was delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a cozy patio area with a small fire pit. We enjoyed sitting outside, even though it was a little chilly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

They have solid pastries and breakfast items. The scones were the highlight of our brunch. The lavender blueberry scone was a beautiful blend and pairing that worked well. It was one of the best scones I've had. It was our favorite out of the two cookies and the cinnamon roll. The breakfast foods like the egg croissant was flakey and buttery. It had a nice crispy crunch and a soft chewy inside. It was definitely a good croissant but not the best. read more

I'd read wonderful things about this place and I was very close by, so I thought I'd pop over to grab a treat for later since I'm not in Chattanooga too often. Parking is a little challenging but I managed to find fairly cheap street parking (though it did require me to back my car into the spot and I couldn't stay for longer than I wanna say an hour - that was an adventure lol). This is a busy part of town with a decent bit of traffic, limited crosswalks imo, and some new construction obstructing some of the sidewalk, so the walk over was a little challenging too. I was rewarded with a cozy cafe atmosphere. There also appears to be a beautiful patio outback. It was fairly loud inside so if I'd stayed I likely would've chosen the patio. Service wasn't unfriendly but it wasn't super warm either; you order at the counter. No one was ahead of me and so I walked up. The employee said hello and I greeted her back and said I was sorry but that I might need a minute to decide. Her only response was a smile I can only describe as pitying, which is kind of funny in retrospect. I decided I didn't really care for the sound of any of their coffee drinks, so I settled for some pastries. Unfortunately, the selection was quite limited. I understand that's partially on me as it was fairly late in the afternoon (I wanna say around 1-1:30ish), but I was still a little bummed. I got a peanut butter and jelly pastry and, on a whim, a rye chocolate chip cookie. I took them both home to share with my husband for dessert after dinner. I was most excited for the PB&J number but it was only okay. I loved the creativity of the idea but it just didn't hit the mark for me flavor-wise. The pastry was light and flaky and had lots of nice buttery layers, but there wasn't much jelly at all and the peanut butter notes had a very...not burnt, per se, but kind of earthy and dry vibe, which I didn't love. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't order one again. The sleeper hit, however, was the rye chocolate chip cookie. I was skeptical because I'm not huge on rye but I'm glad my whim was rewarded because this cookie was delicious. Soft and chewy, slightly crisp edges, rich chocolate, and the rye gave it an almost banana-bread like nuttiness. It was so good! Would definitely get this cookie again. Overall, if I have a chance and choose to return in the future, I'll definitely come earlier and choose my goodies carefully. Thanks for the yummy cookie! read more

Niedlov's Bakery & Cafe - Inside the cafe - Bakeries Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Niedlov's Bakery & Cafe is an incredible coffee shop. The miso-kale and shiitake skillet was outstanding--deep umami flavor, a beautifully melted layer of cheese on top, and perfectly toasted crostinis on the side. It's one of the best dishes I've had in a long time. The coffee was bold and flavorful, and the cranberry pistachio scone I grabbed for later was excellent, packed with real pistachios and lightly iced for just the right touch of sweetness. The only downside is that the parking lot is paid and runs you $3 for a two-hour minimum, but the food more than made up for it. A fantastic visit all around. read more

Go here. Eat here. The bread is well worth the trip. You can catch the aroma before walking in. The ready made sandwiches are a plus. The baked pastries make you feel glad that you were born. The herbal teas--our favorites--will keep you humming the rest of the day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is top notch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A lot of Chattanooga's energy is right on Main and Market, but the cerebral cortex is at Niedlov's. Keep in mind that the kitchen shuts down by 3 pm and when the goods are gone, they are g-o-n-e. So if it is a busy afternoon, you might be out of luck for supper. Plan to pop in! You read it here!! read more

Niedlov's offers menu items as well as a large pastry case and bread selection. Food was great: we had the fancy (breakfast sandwich) and the croissant sandwich (see photo). We also had a bacon, chive, Gruyère scone and a raspberry pistachio scone. Both were good but would have been better a little warm. Husband said his latte was decent but not the best he'd ever had. We didn't realize they had complimentary coffee by the waiting area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We went at about 9 on a Tuesday morning and the place was packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff was moving at a good pace.

love this place it's so cute in here and the baked good are delicious! unfortunately i did not enjoy the matcha it was very sweet and nutty. the chai was okay also. both the cookies were delicious!!! the flourless chocolate was amazing i recommend highly. matcha latte: 4/10 chai latte: 8/10 chocolate chip cookie: 9/10 chocolate flourless cookie: 10/10 bathroom rating: 7/10 two single bathrooms. just a nice normal bathroom parking rating: 8/10 they have their own lot that they validate parking for, however it can get quite busy here and you might not find a spot. there is also street parking that is paid but it is only like 2 dollars so i am giving them a high parking rating read more

After much research niedlov came I'm multiple times as the bakery to visit in Chattanooga, so of course I added it to the list!! First day in town was Friday and I see they have pizza Friday so it's only right to order it. I arrived a little earlier than my set pick up time but the staff was friendly and helpful on other items I wanted to purchase. The pizza came out which was a mushroom pie and it was absolutely amazing. Hot, fresh, and flavorful. Could have used a pinch of salt but over all well worth the cost and time. So I knew I had to visit the next day for pastries. I arrived mid morning and there was a line but once I ordered the food came out fast. They were also very accommodating for warming up the scones I ordered which was very delightful, and the drip coffee is UNLIMITED!!! The sandwich came out and they cut it as requested and again hot, fresh and full Of flavor. I can see why this place is rated by so many people. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space inside and out is cute, the staff is friendly, and everything from cookies, scones, sandwiches, pizza, and coffee all hit the mark of satisfaction.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I'll start by saying the service was great very friendly staff. They also had no issue remaking my order since they added honey when I asked for it subbed off. It wasn't a big deal so I got it as is. It's a cute place too, busy. The tomato kale soup of the day was tasty. The sandwich though was pretty bad. I'm not sure about the other ones but the rustic salami sandwich was enough for me to go down to 3 stars. Good soup but bad sandwich so idk.
