It is so much fun visiting a newly opened spot where the owners and employees are so engaged with the customers. My daughter and I visited Overflow-Brews & Bakes on the Square after strolling the Farmer’s Market on the Square. This place is a cornucopia of pleasures and raises the bar when it comes to incredible baked goods. It was a pleasure to meet Doug and Sally…the owners along with their entire crew and children this morning. You have to watch out for Doug though, he seems to appear out of nowhere with samples of the various baked goods they sell to tease you. I opted for a Mango/Black Tea Bubble Tea and it was delicious, a nice balance of tea flavor, and not too sweet, Sally told me I needed to come back later in the week, she will be getting some special mango puree from overseas and I would be impressed with the different flavor. With the help of Doug we also sampled some of their cookies and they were great! In the end, we bought a smorgasbord of items…here’s the verdict:
Blueberry Scone with an Orange Glaze: Tried this and it was warm out of the oven…so moist and flavorful. The orange glaze really adds to the scone versus overpowering it…LOVED the flavors and texture on this one.
Sausage Egg & Cheese English Muffin: This isn’t your fast food breakfast muffin…this is homemade sausage and English Muffin with a nice slab of cheese and fluffy egg. This a very special breakfast sandwich…I added a dollop of Duke’s Mayo and it didn’t take long for it to disappear.
Éclair: This is one of the best I’ve had in a very long time…everything is homemade (nothing pre-packaged or frozen) and you can tell the difference. I doubt you’ll find better anywhere in Middle Tennessee.
Blackberry Mini Pie: The crust is flaky and sweet, the blackberry filling tart, but the filling lacked the juiciness I expect in a berry pie. It was good…but I think maybe something was amiss on this item.
English Muffins: No doubt these muffins will be a treat when I pop one in the toaster. The one used on the sandwich had great flavor, was dense, and had what seemed like a biscuit/muffin flavor and texture. I was very curious…based on the density of the muffin would there be the “nooks & crannies” like the store bought muffins. These don’t split apart, you need to cut them BUT voila…there are the nooks and crannies!!! Can’t wait to see butter melting on them with some strawberry jam.
This place has all the makings of success…great food, wonderful homemade flavors, beverages of all types, and great people making you...
Read moreI attended OFLOW's High Tea event with my mom, sisters, and aunt to celebrate my mom's birthday, and it was a fabulous experience! The owners made all of the food from scratch and all of the teas were loose leaf local tea blends from Music City Tea! The tables were decorated in Valentine's Day Theme decor, and it was so cute! The owners and staff waited on us with precision and attention to detail! They even sang happy birthday to my mom! I highly recommend OFLOW for coffee, tea, and treats as well as their special events like High Tea! I'm so glad we have a local coffee shop like this in the Boro that provides unique experiences and fresh food! I also told the owner that I have a gluten sensitivity, and she happily made accommodations by providing special gluten free treats for me (which I told her wasn't necessary, but she did it anyway)! Highly recommend, and we'll be back for sure! The owners take so much pride in their store and food, and it...
Read moreMy first time in. I was Googling cupcakes and this bakery popped up so I stopped in. There were no cupcakes, but many cheesecake selections. I was greeted with a smile by a lady at the cash register. Then one of the owners came out and started chatting it up. I'm not a chatty person, so that made me want to hurry up and buy so that I could leave. I believe the cheesecakes are in the 8.50/9.00 range because I purchased 2 and it was 19.xx. I ordered their Dreamsicle cheesecake and Strawberry Crunch. He said these were their best sellers. Unfortunately, they just taste like plain cheese cake. The cheesecake itself was creamy and good, but because it didn't have either flavor advertised, it was a disappointment. The Dreamsicle was even orange with a nice gummy orange wedge to garnish, but that was it, still plain cheesecake. The Strawberry Crunch was garnished with that on top, but had no Strawberry flavor at all. For these reasons, I...
