There’s nothing like a dense, chewy cookie on a quiet afternoon, and we’d argue that birthdays simply aren’t the same without frosted slices of cake. Here in Nashville, the city boasts a whole heap of local bakeries and pastry shops that not only bake up a storm on the daily, but they’re available to-go! We’d highly recommend checking out these seven local bakeries when your sweet tooth gets the best of you. Check them out below, and leave your thoughts in the comments! We can’t wait to hear about the incredible, sugary-sweet treats you get to enjoy.
1. The Cake Project
The cake project is a locally-owned Nashville sweet shop that makes over 50 flavors of cheesecake. Although it does not have a brick-and-mortar space as of yet, you can contact the team by way of their Facebook page and put in an order to pick up or to have these delicious cheesecake treats delivered. With flavors ranging from banana pudding to lemony white chocolate, you're bound to find something delicious for the whole family.
2. The Cupcake Collection
This Nashville favorite has made its home right on 6th Avenue in Germantown, and just recently opened a shop on Magazine Street in New Orleans. Creative flavors and fresh ingredients make this cheerful bakery a must-visit, and it's a great spot to head for specialty cupcakes. The Cupcake Collection is currently offering no-contact delivery and takeout. Nashville's best cupcakery just got a whole lot better!
3. Hifi Cookies
Hifi Cookies is a locally owned cookie-focused bakery that is proud to serve contemporary treats with a musical twist. You'll find cookies like the Johnny - inspired by Johnny Cash - the Bowie, the Marvin, and the Etta on the menu, as well as fun twists on classic favorites like the "It's Ya Birthday" cookie and the Lucky Day, covered in Lucky Charms. Cookies are shipped nationwide, so you don't have to *just* be located in Nashville to indulge. Locals can find their storefront at 733 Porter Road.
4. Colts Chocolate Co
Colts Chocolate has been making up artisan chocolate treats since 1984, right here in Nashville. You'll find all sorts of amazing desserts and decadent, chocolate delights both online and in-store. It's a great spot for chocolate gifts too if you're in the market.
5. Sweet 16th Bakery
Sweet 16th Bakery is the definition of a neighborhood bakery. It's here that you can find freshly-baked muffins, lasagna, and breakfast sandwiches, with seasonal pastries and cinnamon buns to round out your visit. There's something for everyone at Sweet 16th Bakery, and it's made itself known as a local gem in the midst of East Nashville.
6. Papa C Pies Bakery
Papa C Pies Bakery serves up homemade EVERYTHING and is a Brentwood must-visit. Come for homemade style pies, cinnamon rolls, quiches, or chicken pot pies. The menu is expansive and there's truly something for everyone. We'd recommend the blackberry pie if you can't quite decide, or pick up a shepherd's pie if you're in the mood for comfort food. There's even peanut brittle for a sweet finish!
7. Christie Cookie Co.
Christie Cookie is Nashville's golden child of bakeries. You may have tried their treats during a stay at a DoubleTree Hotel, where these chewy treats are given to every guest, or they may have made an appearance at a company party in the past. Christie Cookie is an iconic Nashville treat, dreamt up and baked in the heart of Germantown, then shipped across the country. If you aren't in the mood for a cookie, you can always indulge in muffins or brownies. Yum!
8. CaityPies
Handmade pies with quality ingredients are the name of the game at CaityPies. This local handpie bakery has a retro spin and a whole lot of flavor on the menu. CaityPies focuses on seasonal ingredients, so no visit to the bakery is the same. From Mexican Chocolate to a pepperoni pizza pocket, you can't go wrong. Savory and sweet toots are sated here! You can even order a whole pie - like Toasted Coconut Cream! - if you're hosting a group. Yum!
