Hunter is kind and patient, even came to refill my cup for me when the coffee finished refilling. The space is admirable as well; bathroom is clean and the whole place has spunk, character, and good music. I'm not in the market for a loaf of bread today, but i was instantly enamored with the smell. Between everything above and his character and bit of background he shared with me, I have no doubt it's phenomenal. Imported olive oil... specialty flour mixes... artistic fermentation. What's not to love? Can't recommend it enough. Comparable to kniedlovs in Chattanooga but smaller.

Emeraude Bakery is a real bakery and the owner is a baker through and through. I walking into the…read moreshop and immediately noticed piles of 50# bags of flour stacked everywhere. I also noticed two large piles of dough proofing and a fresh pecan roll on the cooling rack. Emeraude supports other cottage cooks through the display and sale of their products: ice cream and cookies to mention a few, so you are not just there to buy bread. However, bread is the primary reason you are here. I didn't know about the preorder program (great way to reduce waste) but there was still plenty to choose from. I am a sucker for sourdough, big selling point, and we took one home as well as several pecan rolls. The pecan rolls were spot on: great texture and flavor. The caramel stayed soft even as it cooled, excellent. Maybe that was the duck fat. Not likely to do this again due to the price. I am always impresed when a baker gets a solid crust with a soft chewy interior on any loaf of bread. Our loaf was perfect in that regard. On the other hand, the bottom crust, while not burnt, required a tremendous amount of force to cut through it. See the picture and notice the very dark color. The sour flavor of the loaf was not overly powerful and everyone liked it. Fall is the perfect time for this bread because it goes great with soups and stews.

They also had clothes and home remedies for any kind of ailments and just plain fun stuff . Next, the restaurant was quietly delicious . I had an old fashioned bologna sandwich on sourdough with a side of macaroni and cheese - in a word- awesome. I topped it off with an orange cream soda and it was almost too much. The only thing different I will do next time is shop before I eat because I was entirely to satisfied with my meal an atmosphere to adequately shop as needed. Service both in store and restaurant was above par.

We typically order cakes from a different bakery that is a little further of a drive or I make…read morecakes myself for special occasions. So for the sake of convenience (I also recently had hand surgery), we thought we'd give Sweet Thing Bakery a try for my son's 3rd birthday cake. It's safe to say, this will be our new go-to! The cake was just like the picture I gave as an example and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone at the party raved over it. A baker myself, I'm pretty picky about cakes. This one was incredibly moist and the frosting had much more of a buttery taste than that of other bakeries; especially grocery store bakeries whose frostings taste mostly of shortening. Their prices are very reasonable as well. Just a tip--if you want to order a cake for a special occasion, they require that you do it at least 2 weeks in advance!

I am deeply disheartened and honestly ashamed by a business policy requiring all service animals to…read morewear vests. That is not an ADA requirement, and there is no official vest, registration, or certification required for a legitimate service animal in the United States. Under the ADA, businesses cannot require proof of documentation, demand certification papers, or refuse entry simply because a service animal is not vested. A service animal handler also cannot legally be asked to leave unless the animal is out of control or causing a disturbance that the handler does not correct. The only questions staff are permitted to ask are: 1. Is the animal required because of a disability? 2. What work or task has the animal been trained to perform? Policies rooted in misinformation create unnecessary humiliation and barriers for disabled individuals who already face enough challenges in public spaces. Businesses should take the time to properly educate their staff on ADA laws instead of enforcing requirements that simply do not exist.

We saw everything from old books, to homemade kitsch, Tiffany lamps to retired gas station signs, and pretty much everything in between. But the coolest part was that in each "room" is a table and chairs where you can sit and eat things prepared by the kitchen / bakery, which was putting out pretty good food. Service is counter style but Tennessee friendly.
