I keep a running collection of places to try in Chattanooga on my usually-annual trips to the area…read more I added Alessandro's maybe a year or two ago, assuming I could stop along the way in the future. Instead, I came up with my parents to visit the cast iron museum and realized that this place was right around the corner - so I had to visit! This little shop is tucked in the downtown area of South Pittsburg. Much of the inventory is on display as you enter. It's impressive the variety of product the owner has managed to offer in a relatively limited space. This is a legit Italian bakery. The owner was in the shop and made small talk with us about where he learned to bake, how important his family recipes were to him, and about all the care and consideration that goes into each product. He also very generously shared a sample of both a fig spread and a sort of savory feta dip. The feta dip was good but the fig spread was great -- subtly sweet with a very satisfying dense and sticky texture. My parents and I both ordered an Italian cream cake from the cold case. We worried about it on the drive home given the temperature, but the owner said it would be fine and even recommended we take our slices out of the fridge to warm up for 15-20 minutes before eating it. Both recommendations were totally true; our cakes kept well for a few days and were definitely improved by warming slightly (so the icing would be a bit more malleable and smooth). The cakes were absolutely delicious -- not too sweet, a fantastic crumb, and full of nice almond flavor. I also got some chocolate chip biscotti and an Italian thumbprint biscotti with some fig spread on top. The chocolate chip biscotti was my least favorite item, though it was still tasty - it hedged a little on the too-dry side for me, even as far as biscotti goes. Still, I wouldn't object if someone offered me one to eat for free, lol. The almond thumbprint biscotti was completely delightful from start to finish. The chopped nuts inside the cookie added a great crunch, and the delightful fig spread on top added needed moisture and softness and an explosion of fruity flavor. Would highly recommend stopping by to try this bakery if you're ever in the area - heck, it's worth a special trip, if you love pastries like I do :)

We tried the caramel brownie, New York cheesecake, butter pecan, banana pudding, and butter finger. All were delicious and creamy! We also noticed that the flavors were incredible without being too sweet. If there's a perfect ice cream on earth - this is it! They also have amazing brownies and cookies. We took home some cupcakes to eat later, too! The staff were very friendly and kept the line moving smoothly. We absolutely loved the decor of this shop. It is creative and quirky. They have used bicycles, pinball machines, tractors, etc to create tables! It's so artistic and fun! We spent so much time walking around looking at all the detail that they included in the furniture and artwork. What a gem of a place!

It's nutty and sour, with a great crunch on the edges, just like you'd find at the most authentic bakeries in California. I don't know for a fact that this is an old ferment sourdough, but it sure tastes and feels like one. I do not get bread belly or the sleepies after eating this bread ;) My stomach stays super happy and it feels just like I had a nice salad for lunch. Woohoo!

This bakery is finally open again after two years but with varying hours…read more You must place your order in advance and the larger your quantity, the better they appreciate it. Since everything in the Bluff View Art District's hours are limited, make sure you call first to see what their hours are for the day. They have a fabulous assortment of fresh-baked and delicious breads and sweet treats. My favorite is the challah bread. It's so soft, fluffy and very pleasant tasting. Rembrandt's Coffee House around the corner from them also sells their breads and baked goods, so you have a second option if Bluff View Bakery is closed. You have parallel street parking and there is also a private lot beside the store. Delicious adventures await!

Arrived in Uber to discover the manager gave us the wrong address…read more Next was looking place a bottle of champagne (that was not provided by the inn) no ice machine exists in the building that was staying at. Was told have to goto a separate building to find ice. When I arrived at the next building the ice machine was empty. So this is just the beginning! So woke up the next morning and no food or breakfast is located in the three or more buildings. You have to walk about a city block away. When you arrive for breakfast your food is delivered in a cardboard box - which was actually gross ! You will NOT wake up to fresh coffee, orange juice or anything in the common area. You will find all areas are locked except for a very cold room with an actual church Pugh bench in the common area. Next I return to the room and the maids were outside. I asked for extra bathroom towels and was told "can only give you more towels in exchange for your dirty towels. I also asked for another blanket to sleep with and the maid states " now I have to goto the other building for that". Later that day I turned on the shower, the shower knob was stuck on all hot, and could not even take a three minute shower. The actual room had a small television in the wall, behind the television was a curtain. I moved the curtain back to find a huge hole on the wall (where and old tv was filled with dust). Tony's pasta restaurant (onsite) was a sodium filled nightmare. Tried the pasta- over cooked , the meatballs were unetiable. Not sure where the chef was from but I am certain nobody could ever say anything positive about the menu. Purely disappointed and disgusting. The owner was so mean and rude! View more

Even a little after 10am on a Saturday, you can tell this place is a very popular hangout. 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! I sat outside on a sidewalk bistro table and enjoyed both items immensely on a gorgeous Chattanooga morning. This place also has inside seating as well as a nice patio setup.

The weather was delightful so we enjoyed sitting outside. We loved the overall vibe, although inside was a little loud. Their decor everywhere was so much fun! We also appreciated the drink refills as we headed out. As we left, we saw tons of parking in an adjacent lot, which I've noted for future visits. Mountain Goat Market is now definitely a must-do on our next trip to The Caverns.

In a very large open room, I was reminded of a high school cafeteria. We were able to get a table right away. Order at the counter and seat yourself. We took turns ordering because our table was the last one and we didn't want to lose it. The meal took only a few minutes to prepare and we were eating by 12:55 The Reuben looked amazing as did the pizza. I was a little jealous. Especially since I ordered the fiesta burrito and found it to be mostly ... just.... okay. I was disappointed that the gift / souvenir shop was closed.
