Reviews
I was in love the moment I stepped in the door!! The variety is awesome. There is even fresh bread and a specialty German pastry that I must say is out of this world (if you love almond).
The prices are decent, the taste of all of the items we took home with us are absolutely amazing! Every cake type sweet we bought has been super moist.
Wish I would have gotten some bread to take back to our real home after this trip.
I would definitely shop here over and over if I could!
At the bakery, we sampled some of the softest and most luscious moonshine cakes, taking an eggnog loaf home for later. Before making our way through to the cafe, we also picked up khalua cake, 7-layer bar, pecan tasty, muscadine cider.
The cafe has a breakfast buffet that was finishing up around the time of our arrival ~11:30 am. We sipped hot and iced coffees and enjoyed the cozy ambiance before deciding to take a couple turkey bacon clubs and Fran’s Famous Chicken Salad to go, all prepared on their freshly baked and sliced bread!
The staff is so welcoming, and really make the place feel like home. I’m already planning to return!
In fairness, the town of Tracy City owes its economy primarily to the state parks and outdoor recreation in the area. January is a bad time in this respect and is definitely “off season.”
Cream Horn, exactly what I expected. The pastry was fresh and flaky. The cream was fairly bland but acceptable. It had a chocolate coating on each end. It had small dollops of cream and drizzle of chocolate as a decoration on top. Good but not great.
Eclair, ugh! It had a proper pate a choux shell. It was cut for the filling rather than piped in. It had the same chocolate as on the cream horn. The biggest problem is they didn’t fill it with Creme Patissiere, they used the same bland whipped cream as in the cream horn. It ended up being the exact same taste as the cream horn.
Cannoli, really, again? I am not sure that they made the cannoli shell in house. It was WRONG! It was not a fried crispy cannoli shell. It was somewhat flaky and baked. The Cannoli was pre-filled which caused the bottom of the shell to be very soft. I expected to get a nice smooth ricotta filling. What I got was yet again, the exact same bland whipped cream as in the cream horn. Very disappointing. All three, cream horn, eclair and Cannoli tasted exactly the same.
Lemon square, yeah, no. From the picture I uploaded you can zoom in and see the problem. The pastry was fresh and flaky. The filling was … ugh, the exact same whipped cream filling as the other previous three products. Look closely and you can see little bits of lemon on top. They did the same thing with the raspberry square (which we did not purchase), filled with whipped cream and topped with a little amount of raspberry on top.
Chocolate chip cookie, I’m lost. From the picture you can IMMEDIATELY identify the problemS. It is very blonde and had zero flavor. I did not taste vanilla at all. I am not sure that they even used brown sugar in this cookie. Biggest issue, as you can see in the picture, it had 2 CHOCOLATE CHIPS in the whole cookie. My wife claims that there was a 3rd hiding but I never saw it.
Tennessee Whiskey cake, did we forget something? This Chocolate cake was actually pretty fresh and quite a good chocolate cake. BUT, there was ZERO Jack Daniels flavor what-so-ever! I asked the lady at the counter about the lack of Jack Daniels flavor and she told me that all of the alcohol cooks off during baking. Yea, no, wrong. This cake was a good chocolate cake, it was a bad Tennessee Whiskey cake.
Turnovers, ok. My wife got the cream cheese and I got the apple. My wife said that the cream cheese turnover was very good. The apple turnover had a fresh flaky pastry and was very good as well. However, there was only a very small amount of filling. It was just a thin strip. Good yes, good value no.
Rosemary and Olive Oil Bread. I sliced this loaf when we got back home for a quick snack. Rosemary was mild but it was definitely there. Olive oil, zippo. I did not taste any at all. If they label properly you will see that olive oil, being the last on the ingredient label, had the smallest amount incorporated. This explains why I didn’t taste it. However, taste aside, it was soooooo dry. The pic of the bread shows the dryness along the bottom and edges the most.
Cinnamon pull-apart bread. It was absolutely horrible. The best way to describe it was eating a sawdust brick. It was stale and hard. My best guess is that it was several weeks old. It was completely inedible.
Now, the lady at the front desk did tell us that they had frozen pipes AND that their head baker was out. All in all, not a good experience. My two cents, take it for what it’s worth.
