We were treated to a tiny ping-pong ball size sort-of-scoop (more shavings) of the flavors we chose which in no way came close to even half filling the little cup. As we left to sit down the server changed. We watched the next 4 people (now served by a young man and a different young woman than we had) deliver single scoops which packed the little cups to overflowing. I went back to buy a candy pop my granddaughter wanted and mentioned the disparity, asking if there was a standard scoop size. The poor young lady tripped over her words explaining they had a few different scoop sizes. The owner/manager over heard the exchange and came over to inquire. She unapologetically explained that the proper size serving was, indeed, a golf ball size serving. I didn't argue about our ping pong ball sized servings in the tennis ball sized cups. I didn't ask why the giant cup for the teeny tiny serving, I didn't ask for an apology. All would have been helpful to know or hear, though. I will never go back. The hospitality here belies the name, as it was decidedly not Southern...and economically not at all a good value proposition.

Five Daughters is a cute spot for a pretty good donut…read more This location is takeout only, but the center area of The Factory has some tables and chairs. The shop is cutesy with pink walls and a little social media worthy photo op on one of the walls. Lines are hit or miss. I either walk by and nobody is there or it's a long line. I can't say service at this location has ever been noteworthy. It's more just moving people through the line. They offer mini and regular sized donuts. I love, love, love that they offer mini donuts. I've never been a big fan of their donuts, but the winter donuts may have changed my mind. My favorites have been Sugar Cookie and Gingerbread Latte. I enjoyed the buttery, flaky layers. I also grabbed an iced sugar cookie and that was delicious. For drinks they offer coffees and a case with sparkling waters, juice, and canned coffee. Five Daughters is worth a try if you find yourself near a location.

Visit their website to read about your endless choices of mouth-watering donut descriptions, and place your order at one of their many locations, one of which is bound to be close to you.

This is not my first rodeo here, thankfully but I can confirm there's no way to choose a favorite. Literally no way! This time I got stuffed chocolate chip which is stuffed with a brownie btw! You read that correctly and it was decadent omg!! Literally all of it was so flavorful and baked to absolute perfection! I also ended up with the seasonal cherry, it was so good I forgot the full name of it, as I try to wipe away drool. The crumble texture divine. Again, so flavorful. Once I started in on both of these I couldn't control myself and ate them both entirely. I left none left for my husband to try, sorry babe! The shop is tiny and cute and the staff is super friendly. I love this spot! Such a super special gem in our downtown Franklin! It's a must!

After grabbing food around the corner, we decided to treat ourselves to something sweet. We noticed…read morethis local hole-in-the-wall tucked in on a side street under the shade of mature trees. The store inside is small, so only a few customers can be inside at once. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with a smile by Sam. There was a display case full of yummy cookies of different varieties -- chocolate chip, stuffed chocolate chip (brownie inside), salted peanut butter cup, s'mores, brownie, sprinkles, oatmeal raisin, and vegan chocolate chip. They offer full-size cookies in singles, six pack, or a dozen or mini cookies in a cup, small box or big box. Whitney's also sells a small selection of drinks -- milk, sparkling water, chilled coffee, or regular water. We ordered a chocolate chip and a salted peanut butter. At $5 a cookie, this isn't an everyday indulgence, but the cookies were large enough to share. And they were really delicious, especially when they were heated up and the chocolate chips melted.

I really dislike this place…read more I've been to a different location and actually had their ice cream, and once again the flavors are just wack! Today was even worse because when I was there I saw they had GOAT CHEESE ice cream! Who wants Goat Cheese flavored ice cream when you have flavors like Cookies and Cream or Brownie? Have some normal flavors Jeni's! I rated the last one two star but this was just beyond disgusting! I scream, you scream, we ONCE AGAIN don't scream for this ice cream!!

We tried the egg salad, chicken salad, the viral hot cocoa with the peppermint marshmallow, plus a few bakery treats because obviously we have no self-control. That cocoa??? Unreasonably good. Like I'd go back just for that. They had kid sizes too, which is a major plus. They've got patio seating, which is always a yes, and the staff was super friendly even while moving at full-speed. It's a bit cramped inside, but everything about it is gorgeous. A quaint, charming tea room. My ONLY complaint and this is truly nit-picky is that I wish my biscuit had been warmed up. Will definitely return!

I LOVE a good bakery and I am kinda spoiled by over 30 years in San Francisco, where there is a great one every few blocks. I just found all the photos on my phone and realized I had not reviewed this place from last month's mini vacation. And honestly I know we got like 4 things for 4 of us to take home and snack on for the next day or so, but I don;t recall all the things we got EXCEPT for the white almond frosted cake(slice, but in a round shape). Everyone agree it was the one to beat, and not to take the crown, but it was the one that I chose. This reminds me that I need to find all the bakeries near me now that do "cake tasting" boxes and just treat myself every once in a while!!

The ambience is cute and whatever and the location is good, but that's not why I personally go to get ice cream. It's been years since I went and I still regret it every time I drive by, so when I noticed that it had such a high rating I wanted to add my honest review to hopefully save someone else from an experience they'll regret. Go buy a month's worth of Blue Bell from the grocery store instead, I promise you won't regret that.

Wilson truly is a local gem, and the same could be said about his restaurant Sweet Dreams…read more Food: He offers a variety of items that one wouldn't typically find together, and he does them all incredibly well. Using Taiwanese quality import ingredients, he makes everything from scratch. From delightful but expected savory dishes like noodles, ribs beef and his famous wonton. Get 'em while you can!!! --to his staple traditional boba drinks; then the unexpected items like the surprisingly authentic Portuguese Egg Custard, which is a tart, flaky pastry wirh warm Custard and not too sweet (something my Brazilian wife absolutely appreciated for its authenticity). Don't forget the comfy japanese light cheese cake and delicious pie! Then running the astronomically good deal of a discounted cake cookie when purchased with a delicious boba drink that blows Crumbl right out of the water (and Crumbl is actually next door! Sorry Crumbl). Warm and soft on the inside, and a nice crunch on the outside. He went great lengths to ensure they weren't *too sweet!* Service: Wilson is always there, and he and his employees are always super friendly and attentive. Ambiance: The restaurant itself is a little hole in the wall, and oh boy, does the revenue that is not spent on a bigger place go right back into the products. If you see the PF Changs next door, pull into the lot and make sure to say hi to Wilson! Have a lovely lunch, a delicious smoothie or boba, and grab yourself a fantastic quality little treat...for the road ;) Enjoy!

The cool ambiance of the factory is left at the door as the restaurant itself portrays a pretty standard modern steakhouse vibe. It's very nice, just not what I expected given its location. Food and service were top tier. We ordered the shrimp and octopus bruschetta, which was excellent. Cool take on a classic dish and the bread it was served on top was excellent. I also had their horseradish Caesar salad - very good but was hoping for a little more 'kick' given its name. I ordered the pan seared salmon over curry - definitely the winner of the night. Perfectly cooked and the flavors were unique and had depth. Great spot for a nicer restaurant in the Franklin area!
