Everything you get here is delicious. My favorite treat is the Three Cheese Brioche (pictured). I like to heat it up just a little and it melts in my mouth. SO YUMMY! Their special change regularly and I always try to get one of those when I visit because they’re unique and yes, also very yummy. 10/10 forever, plus the people who work there are always so very kind!

Abigail Buxa

Brightside is the best thing Nashville has to offer. Every Sunday, before church, we sample these pastries. Get the cheesecake danish and the sausage brioche - but you can't go wrong with any of them. So good!

Jacob Brown

So very cute. I’ve driven by this place a million times and never stopped by. I’m so glad I finally did! Fresh baked pastries and barista parlor coffee made the perfect date spot for me and my BF before estate sale shopping!

Ella Fayer

The only bad thing that can be said about Brightside is that it's closed Mondays and Tuesdays. The chocolate chip cookies here are nothing short of excellent. The Three Cheese Brioche and the Everything Cream Cheese Tart are also fantastic. The specials also slap. This month's Pumpkin Maple Cream Croissant Tart and Apple Oat Streusel Danish are to die for. I always look forward to the first of the month to find out what Brightside is blessing us with. I implore you to order ahead! Enough people know about the magic that is Brightside Bakeshop that selling out of items before closing time (and often before they even open!) is the norm. You do not want to leave it up to chance.

Been many times and they're great. Easy to order, usually a good variety, nice staff. Favorite savory is the Everything tart - so good! All the sweet ones are consistently tasty. The brioches & cinnaroll are on the heavy side, so not my favorite. (Maybe the type of dough or the shape?) Will be back!

Hannah Zanibi

I haven’t even finished my pastry it’s that good. Came in and had the key lime pie, cheesecake, and fried green tomato pastries and they’re the best danishes/pastries I’ve had in my life. I’ve been to all the notable spots (Five Daughters, Donut and Dog, Triple Crown Bakery, etc) in Nashville and this beats them by a long shot. The price is comparable as well, $5-5.50 per danish. I definitely see this being a regular stop during the week. 11/10

Monika Whittenburg

This is by far, the best bakery in town. Every single thing I've tried has been absolutely delicious! The staff is also extremely nice. I love the ease of ordering ahead (you need to in order to make sure they aren't sold out). The location is convenient and parking is simple.

Monica

This place is magical, nice staff, amazing service, and absolutely fenomenal pastries. Absolutely recommend, plus love that they have a seasonal menu

Dani Laterza

5 stars doesn’t do this place justice. Hands down the BEST bakery in Nashville. Great staples and amazing rotating creations. I have yet to be disappointed by anything I’ve tried!! Phenomenal quality for absolutely fair prices. I don’t know who’s back there creating these masterpieces but whoever you are, I LOVE YOU!

Sue Mathis

Have been trying to visit this bakeshop for the last month. Finally made it to town early enough to catch them by noon. Oh my goodness. Absolutely delicious. We had a pastry made with croissant dough, chocolate and chocolate chips! Very friendly staff. Looking forward to another visit.

Anna Linn Kane

I’ve been a fan since they were just a farmer’s market pop up. Now that I don’t live in Nashville anymore I always plan a stop while visiting. Sausage brioche is my favorite savory and I don’t think I could pick a favorite sweet they are all that good. Also staff is very friendly!

Kevin Buchanan

Best bakery in Nashville!! Andrea has a true passion for what she does and it shows! It’s not just a pastry… it’s an experience! The staff is so friendly and my day is always better anytime that Brightside is a part of it!

Jeremy Burchard

Best pastries I’ve ever had. Absolutely worth the effort to order ahead the day before. Best chocolate chip cookie on the planet and the monthly specials are always so fun and unique. Weekends are where it’s at!

Paige Slaughter

For the past 2 years, our family has walked to Brightside Bakeshop every weekend. It has become one of our favorite things we look forward to! The pastries are unbelievably good and fresh!! There are very few bakeries that are this talented and making pastries by hand and we are SO lucky to have one right here in Nashville. The double chocolate roll and Cheesecake streusel danish are unreal, and of course the OG: the croissant. It is honestly better than any croissant I’ve had in France. Do yourself a favor and preorder them on the website today- this way you get them before they sell out. You won’t regret it!

Queenie Lux

These pastries…oh my gosh. Delicious!! We are close to The Nations location and we have been picking up boxes for holidays and special events. Every single box is amazing. We’ve picked up for Christmas, birthdays, Mother’s Day and have enjoyed all their different pastries. The ham & cheddar brioche is our favorite savory pastry. The coconut cream pie is our favorite croissant!

Christopher Wood

I found this bake shop a block down from place we were renting for weekend. Don't know how to describe so it get the best review. I work in culinary business and this has to be best bakery ever wish there was one near my home.

Vicky Wang

my favourite bakery in Nashville!! absolutely love their weekend specials (and regular weekday line up too). staff is super friendly. make sure you order ahead or go early so things don't run out!

Kenny Gluck

This place is awesome, so far nothing has been short of delicious! I won't be surprised when Brightside takes over as the top bakery in Nashville! Cookies, Danishes, Croissants, and the Sticky buns are amazing!

Mr White

We live in the Memphis area and travel to and through Nashville on a regular basis. We always place and pick up an order at the Nashville East location. The pastries are always fresh and are always shared with friends and family. This is my go to spot for great pastries.

Hailey Gilbert

Brightside is the best bakery in Nashville! We have loved every single pastry we’ve ever tried before and always appreciate the suggestions offered by the staff!

Allison Sims

OUR FAVORITE BAKERY!!! Literally everything here is delicious! I should know - we've been here at least 15 times and bring family every time they're in town. Could not recommend more! TIP: Order online before going. Things sell out fast.

Josh Barnett

My family were watching "Tennessee Crosswords" and this cool and interesting bakeshop near us was on. We decided to order and pick up the next day. The cinnamon rolls were amazing. The coffee was wonderful. It was a family hit and we will be back. I would recommend this lovely bakeshop in West Nashville. You will not be disappointed

Ana Batts

Brightside Bake shop is fabulous. The pastries are great. The coffee is strong but not bitter. (the perfect match for the sweet pastries) The cinnamon rolls are the best. The churro croissants or chocolate croissants are a fabulous second. All of their bread has real flavor. (not at all like grocery store croissants) there are several little cafe tables if you want to eat inside, or they will box your goodies to go. There is plenty of free parking and everything is nice and clean. The counter workers were happy to help and very friendly. They are only open until they run out of pastries, so go early for more selection.

Edith Kirkland

Brightside is THE best bakery in Nashville!! the cheese sausage brioche and the sunshine roll are pretty much the best things i’ve ever eaten!

Brock Hurston

Our favorite bakery in Nashville. The pastries are incredibly fresh and delicious, and we love their rotating seasonal options.

Max Abrams

I never really paid attention to bread till I ate here. They make sublime stuff. The pastry is spectacular. Always fresh. And the service is great as well.

kayce tutor

Love that I can pre-order, and everyone is so super nice! Best bakery in town, and the double chocolate rolls are chef’s kiss!

ryan slattery

Amazing delicious pastries. We love the savory flavors as well as some of the sweet.

Tyler Barrett

First time trying this bake shop out and it did not disappoint!! I absolutely loved the apple turnover and cinaroll! I highly recommend stopping by here for some tasty treats. Cannot wait to come back

Joe Gnitteo

Wow! What a treat to have in the neighborhood. The staff are friendly, the pastry’s were excellent, and I will be back. They have a lot of savory options for those wanting to branch away from their sweet tooth, though the sweet pastry’s were good as well. Welcome to the neighborhood!

Wanda Cox

I decided to try the Brightside Bakeshop after having seen it everyday coming home from work. While the hours are a bit limiting the products are delicious and well worth the wait! I bought way too much wanting to try it all but I am partial to the cinnaroll and the sticky buns. The texture and tastes are wonderful! I also got one 9f the cream cheese danish. The bread was crispy, the cream cheese filling plentiful, creamy and not too sweet, and the crumbles! OH the crumbles were crunchy and sweet and delightful! As you can probably tell I like my sweet things but the Brightside Bakeshop is a must! You won't regret it!

Brian A. Courtney

You can’t go wrong here! We like to get an assortment of sweet and savory pastries for breakfast when we have guests from out of town. Always a hit.

Rick Petri

I'd give it 10 stars!!! I'm always looking for a good bakery and this one is great. They're currently pickup only but well organized and great service to your car. Order online the day before because they regularly sell out. Their pastries are so well balanced, baked and constructed perfectly I'm already looking forward to my next order.

Amanda DeLong

This is one of my favorite bakeries in town! Wake up early so you don’t miss out on their daily goodies. My favorite is the churro croissant 🥐 I order some for my family every time they visit …

Amy Morgan

Absolutely love Brightside! I’ve never ordered anything I didn’t love. It’s my favorite bakery in Nashville.

Terra H

Always lovely people and delicious treats. The only downside is you have to plan ahead or your favorite pastry will be sold out!

Scott Johnston

Magnificent creations, great pre-order program, best chocolate cookie in Nashville. Thank you for taking so much pride in your work.

Chandler Barnes

The most slept on bakery I’ve ever been to. They sell out of specials the day before with pre-orders, so order ahead!

Dean Anderson

My coworkers attacked this box of pastries like a herd of Velociraptors that hadn’t had a meal in a week. They are literally that good, just set them on a table and watch from a distance.

Leslie H

Our company brought in Brightside Bakery items for our Christmas celebration! I had the ham breakfast roll. It was melt in your mouth delicious & satisfying! I hope I'm not dying, but I feel like I tasted a little piece of heaven! Today at least, we are all fat & happy employees! THANKS

Andy Massie

Best bakery in Nashville! Love their seasonal items and they’re always friendly.

Christina Brown

Will definitely return. The carrot cake croissant was so good! Also tried the sausage and cheese brioche and Ham and mushroom strata. I knocked off one star because they didn’t offer to warm the strata or brioche. Truly the strata needed to be warmed.

Wes Boling

A wide array of locally sourced seasonal treats. An efficient and kind group of employees who know what they’re doing and smile while they do it. If you care about buying local and family-owned...and if you care about your tastebuds...this bakery should top your list. Sweet? Savory? Don’t make the choice — get both. We’ve been to Brightside at least a dozen times now and have never been disappointed. You’ll love it as much as we do!

Tess

Went during COVID, so this review is based solely on the danish. I purchased the Peach Blueberry Danish. The danish is beautiful and tasty, but the excess use of sugar is both unnecessary and messy.

Mike L

Great bakery and a new gem in the nations. The croissants, brioche, and strata are all incredible. We will be back!

Len Woods

Love this place so much. We visit every time we're in Nashville. Creative baking and to-die-for results.

John Wetzel

Thanks for being the neighborhood and doing such a great job of keeping all of us happily fed with great pastries. I’m not sure which is my favorite ; I’ll have to try more .

Gary Feldman

Quality is impeccable. Best I’ve found in Nashville. Limited selection, out of stocks and pre-ordering requirements/needs are inconvenient.

Jared Phillips

This place lives up to the hype! Excellent sweet and savory pastries (try the cheesecake danish) and very easy order-ahead process. Parking was straightforward and all around a great experience. A new weekend staple for me!

Danielle Dean

Wow! We were so disappointed to be leaving our neighborhood bakery (Dozen) when we moved to the area. But on the Brightside, we discovered this amazing local bakery. I tried the ham and cheese brioche which was a delightful savory treat. My husband had the double chocolate roll which was outstanding and a real treat for the chocolate lover. Unapologetically, we shared a sunshine roll which has a fantastic citrus zest flavor to pick you up. Our only disappointment is that they don't sell baguettes and the like. We will be regulars, but we may have to start walking there. 🤣

Dawn C

Being told this is the best pastry is different than the experience savoring it. Outer body experience.

Jeanne Fitzpatrick

Pictures showed a full line bakery with "huge" choices. Got there and only had about 4 or 5 choices (AndAll Deserts)

Whitney Kaslow

We cannot get enough of Brightside Bakeshop! Every single weekend, we get so excited to place a carry out order. We have ordered from her several times and have yet to be even close to disappointed. The website is extremely user friendly for online ordering, the service is always excellent with very fast and prompt curbside pickup, and the pastries (both sweet and savory) are out of this world! Grade A service, Grade A product!

Aaron Legg

Cannot speak higher of Brightside. We are pretty well traveled and have truly enjoyed some special bakeries in France, Switzerland, and across the US. Brightside is the best. THE BEST. Order anything. You will love it. Whether you are visiting from our of town or a local, this spot cannot be passed up.

Yoseph Alabdulwahab

Even though we came close to 11 with their baked goods almost completely sold out. The croissant and cookie we got were sooooo🤩 delicious! I wouldn't have changed anything about the visit. …

Mike Esterday

So tasty! Love the creative pastries.

Breanna Byron

The baked goods here rival any in the city. It’s a little bake shop tucked away in the nations and the pastries are so yummy. The almond croissant is by far my favorite. It’s so flaky and buttery. It’s definitely my go to bakery from now on.

Nicole Payne

The staff and owner were super sweet to my toddler daughter running around the shop! I've had their baked goods from a coffee shop, but they are even more amazing straight out of the oven. 5 stars!

Jacob

Best pastry spot in town. We go every weekend we’re at home!

Elizabeth Lorick

Tried Brightside for the first time last week, and it is by far the best bakery in Nashville…I won’t name any names. I was planning to head to Brightside now when I read they close at noon. Bummer. So I’m writing this review instead. Seriously…go to Brightside ASAP!

Benjamin Anderson

Not sure what they’re putting in these baked goods, but it’s noteworthy and fantastic. They also serve Barista Parlour coffee so that’s a huge plus.

jime valencia

This is my favorite bakery in Nashville! Everything is amazing and very flavorful! This bakery is what I look foward to on my morning drives to work🤩 …

Sara

Easily the best bakery in Nashville, the pastries are always exceptional and the staff is unbelievably kind. It is our go to Saturday morning treat!

Jimena Valencia

Hands down the best bakery in Nashville! The chocolate croissant and the savory pastry with everything seasoning are amazing!!!

Montgomery Sparrow

Buttery, flaky immaculate goodness. They're baseline croissants are perfect; and then they have various alternating savory and sweet flavors that send into a divine experience.

J Hendrickson

Let me tell you something. If you don't manage to get a breakfast sandwich on a Thursday morning...you are missing the BEST THING YOU WILL EVER TASTE. Literally. I had it for the first time today...and I'm just salivating thinking about it. I didn't even have time to take a photo. And this is all to mention ONE sandwich. Don't get me started on the pumpkin cheesecake danish AND cinnamon roll. Yes...went all out and I may have just placed another order for tomorrow on my last day. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. SERIOUSLY. ORDER NOW. DON'T WAIT.

J V

Amazing local bakery. Their cinnaroll bread pudding pastry is phenomenal.

Aimes J

My wife and I like going there in the mornings..the reason why I’m giving 3 stars is due to the lack of in-person customer service. In this industry I feel like this is so important..and for something that could take only one extra second..the assistance should not be denied to the customer..specially if is something very extremely simple.

Robin Preston

Love love love this bakery. My fav....Sunshine Roll!

William Cooper

best bakery in town! I love trying their weekly specials on weekends. Perfect experience to include out of town guests on.

Scarlet Paolicchi

My husband got the chocolate almond croissant. It was amazing. I got the ruby chocolate croissant which was amazing with fluffy and flaky layers but heads up the ruby chocolate is only on the outside.

Hannah Duty

The best Nashville has to offer, everything here is incredible!!!

Walter Reuther

I just ate an “everything” croissant that was possibly life-changing. I thought an everything bagel with cream cheese couldn’t be improved upon. Turns out I was wrong. Can’t wait to get back to this great little shop!

Brad Melton

I came here because they had nothing but 5 star reviews, and I now wholeheartedly add my 5 stars. I'm a bit of a pastry connoisseur and these are top-notch. I'll definitely be back.

Kimberly Scheuer

Perfection!!!! Everything is incredibly delicious. Store immaculate..staff friendly and knowledgeable about products. Don't miss it!

Annie Lemly

Try the sausage brioche! It is amazing (as well as everything else I have had here). Highly recommend!

Kenzie Jones

I love this bake shop. Get the cinnamon roll and the ham brioche roll thing… SO GOOD.

Melania Lonchyna

Croissants are some of the best outside of Paris. 10 stars. We LOVE this place.

Aleksandra Jozic

A must anytime I'm visiting Nashville!

CloudDenizen

Somewhat expensive but these are artisan pastries, not supermarket donuts. I'll definitely return.

Joshua

The bakeshop is the best I’ve seen so far. Very professional and very clean. Their food is top notch

Krissy Coile

The best pastries I’ve had anywhere in the world! This place is amazing!

Madeline Boldyrew

Brightside is one of my all time FAVORITE bakeries. The pastries are always incredibly delicious, consistent, decadent, I mean every positive adjective. They never disappoint. I work up the block, but I will even drive half an hour to them on the weekend from Franklin. Absolutely worth it. Their weekly pastries are delicious, and their weekend specials are so unique. Y’all need to make a stop to see them! But better be an early bird - they’re only open four hours 8am-12pm!

carleen porter

This is so good. Great variety and staff friendly!!! Glad they are our neighbors!!!

Paul Self

It's simply an understatement to say that Brightside Bakeshop is amazing. Each week, they craft new and creative pastries that are delicious, running the gamut of sweet to savory. Do your tastebuds a favor and stop by, but be sure to order ahead or the best items will almost certainly be gone.

bobbi lipschutz

I have been wanting to try the Brightside Bakeshop for months! I finally got there and it was well worth the wait!! My chocolate crossaint was the BEST!!
