2 Best Restaurants in 12 South, Nashville

You know the offerings are good when the hours include a \"or till sold out\" proviso, and that's the case with this locally-owned bakery located just off 12th Avenue South. Pastries and cookies fill the cases, but the large, beautifully decorated gourmet donuts are what people talk about most (mini versions are also available).

You can’t miss the bright red facade or the window where you can order the signature chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin cookies; sometimes there's a tray of samples at the window. This location opened in 2018, but the bakery has been around since 1985. Tins of these cookies are familiar and beloved holiday and celebratory gifts.
