You probably never had to work hard to find a great bakery in your hometown, mainly because there was always “the place” to go. It was as essential as a grocery store, as necessary as the schoolyard. The bakery where you ordered your birthday cakes and celebratory cookies made every special day just that much more special, and here in Memphis, we have one, too. Muddy’s Bake Shop has long been a locally-owned gem, but it was recently featured by Thrillist for baking some of the best treats in the entire state of Tennessee.

You'll know Muddy's Bake Shop from its brightly colored front door on Broad Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee, and the downhome experience is elevated by the southern hospitality exemplified by the staff as soon as you walk inside.
The bakery made a name for itself by baking fresh, homestyle cookies, cakes, pies, cupcakes, and more for the local community. Treats are available by walk-in or for pick-up, which makes it even easier for you to snag your favorites.
Inside you'll find a series of grab-and-go treats including cupcakes and cakes. You can check the Muddy's Bake Shop website for weekly specials that indicate new treats of the week. Specialty food items include locally sourced jams, honey, and coffee, and there are also small gifts for purchase as well.
Of course, check out the refrigerated section and you'll find fresh ingredients to take home with you as well. You can also choose from a series of take-and-bake options like seasonal quiches and cookie dough. Don't want to bake those buttermilk biscuits yourself? You can pick them up from Muddy's and bake them from the comfort of your home! Don't worry, we won't tell.
Muddy's boasts an "everyday menu" that's fleshed out with weekly specials and surprise baked goods. You can, of course, expect a series of classics like the chocolate and vanilla "Truman Capote" cupcake and deluxe chocolate chip cookies every day. The cocoa crackle pie is also a favorite, available both as a mini and a ten-inch pie.
There's a limited number of whole cakes and pies available for purchase upon walk-in, so make sure you call ahead if there's a decadent treat you simply can't live without. Made-to-order items are also available for events.
Muddy's Bake Shop is currently open from 12 to 5:30 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays.
Muddy’s Bake Shop is a true Tennessee legend and we have a feeling you’re going to want to make some sweet memories here as well. You can learn more about this fabulous eatery with a visit to its official website or Facebook page.
