âââââ An Iconic Southern Experience â and Exceptional People Behind It!
Visiting the Chattanooga Bakery was hands-down one of the most memorable experiences Iâve had in the Southâand it wasnât just because of the legendary MoonPies (though those are worth the trip alone). From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was stepping into a place rich in history, pride, and authenticity. But what truly set it apart were two incredible individuals: Tory and Matt.
Tory was the first person to greet us, and within minutes, it was clear this wasnât just a job to himâit was a passion. He radiated energy and knowledge and walked us through the story of MoonPie like he lived it himself. You could tell he was proud of the legacy and even prouder of where itâs headed. He answered every question with a smile and gave us an inside look into how Chattanooga Bakery has grown, evolved, and stayed true to its roots since 1917.
Then thereâs Mattâequally amazing and someone who clearly understands what it means to deliver excellence. He showed us parts of the production process and gave great insight into how quality control, innovation, and attention to detail go into every single MoonPie that leaves the building. Mattâs commitment to the brand and to the customer experience is unmatched. He made us feel like VIPs and had us laughing the entire time.
Beyond the people, the facility is spotless, charming, and filled with touches of nostalgiaâvintage signs, original packaging, and even some fun trivia along the way. The gift shop is a must-stop. Itâs stocked with every variety of MoonPie you can imagine (including some rare and seasonal flavors), plus unique branded merchandise you wonât find anywhere else.
As someone who grew up eating MoonPies, I thought I knew what to expect. But I was completely blown away by how much more this place offers. You donât just get a taste of a snackâyou get a taste of Southern history, family tradition, and genuine hospitality.
Itâs places like Chattanooga Bakery that remind you how impactful a brand can be when itâs built on integrity, consistency, and great people. Tory and Matt embody that spirit perfectly.
Whether youâre a lifelong fan of MoonPie or just curious about where Americaâs most nostalgic treat comes from, do yourself a favor and make the trip. Youâll leave with a full bag, a full heart, and...
   Read moreSo far I am not doing well locating the manufacturer. So I will put this here. Your product is contaminated. We purchased a box of The Original Marshmellow Sandwich Moon Pies on 10/04/24 at the Mansfield, Ohio Ollies store. Upon me finishing one of your pies this evening, my wife asked me if I had found something in mine. I said no. She handed me a small strip of black flexible plastic that has a seraded edge and a flat edge. It appears to be from some form of belt or edging along one of the assembly lines. I reported this to Ollies in Mansfield through their review page, to make sure this is seen. I posted it here because I have yet to be able to locate a place to contact with the Chattenooga Bakery. I am hoping Ollies removes these products from their shelves. Since I am having such a difficult time making a proper connection of this matter, I will try to contact some form of enforcement to look into...
