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.

It was not as sweet as I thought it was going to be, which was a good thing. The peanut butter cream and chocolate ganache on top were the perfect toppings.

Great vibe, super service, and awesome baked goods and coffee. What more could you want.read more

Today was my second visit to Franklin Bakehouse, and it instantly reminded me why I loved it so…read moremuch the first time, years ago, when I came for brunch with a friend. The staff were patient and helpful as I asked questions and considered all my options. I had forgotten that they brew Nashville's own 8&R spresso!! Their 16oz drinks come with four shots - coffee lovers like me will appreciate the strength! Most of their syrups are Monin, I think maybe I saw 1 housemade. What really sets this place apart is the charming farmer's market-style vibe. Besides food, coffee and fresh-baked pastries, they offer their own delicious sourdough and focaccia loaves to go, and a very thoughtful selection of local items - like organic Amish eggs ($6/dozen - unreal price right now and I saw they reuse the cartons/place to return them - heartwarming), bone broths, small-batch sauces, and so much more. I loved spotting a whole shelf of Republic of Tea bags, sold individually so you can sample new flavors before committing to a full tin. You can tell everything is chosen with care both in quality and with a community focus. Franklin Bakehouse is one of those places that just makes you feel good the moment you walk in. It def helped to see and pet some pups too (I assume they are welcome as there were some inside when I arrived).

I am very happy with everything about Kailey Cakes. I emailed them about 3 weeks ago to place an…read moreorder for a small, simple & elegant wedding cake. I was surprised that not only did they respond, they responded quickly and with a "yes. It took us a week, with their guidance, to finalize the order. They emailed an invoice and it was paid that day. The day of the wedding was perfect. They delivered the cake with no stress, it was simply perfect and delicious! Not much more I could've asked for but Kailey Cakes even dropped off a special cupcake for the 1 child that attended the wedding. They went above and beyond. Thank you Nicole for all your help. You are a delight to work with and our family is grateful for you and Kailey Cakes.

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!

What a cute coffee shop with the friendliest staff! I feel like it's really hard to find a place…read morewhere the staff genuinely cares, but it felt like everyone was so intentional here. I was visiting from out of town, but I felt so welcome. I didn't try any pastries, but the cinnamon rolls looked incredible. I got an iced vanilla latte and it was perfect.

The details in the space even behind the bar match the farmhouse aesthetic throughout. When I got up to the counter to order the staff were super friendly. The interior does not leave much room for picking up to-go orders, but they make the best of the space for seating. The outside patio area is perfect for relaxing while sipping on a drink if you want to be a little less cramped. My matcha with almond cold foam was delicious, but it was quite pricey (probably the most expensive matcha I've ever had).

She was a joy to speak to, also. Ambiance Place appeared closed when we walked in but the employee ensured us they were open lol. I advise you to get there early because it was slim pickings in the aftermath. Would I go back? Absolutely!

As luck would have it, we celebrated my mother-in-law's 80th birthday with a towering custom cake from IveyCake. And let me tell you. Owner Ivey Childers makes a mean cake! They are literally works of art made by a creative decorator who demands perfection and uses the finest ingredients. The cake is very dense, what our family considers to be the ultimate texture for a cake. The frosting is super thick and very sweet. You can't eat too much at one time, which is probably a good thing. We had hoped for some sort of confirmation email to let us know the cake was finished. So we showed up on faith alone hoping the cake was ready for our celebration, and there it was! Whew! And not only will IveyCake create your beautiful custom cake, but they even sell cupcakes and small cakes on a daily basis in their adorable little shop. Go check them out!
