Perenn Bakery — Restaurant in Nashville-Davidson

This is the second location of Perenn in the Nashville area (the first is in Franklin). This location does not have the table service like the Franklin one does - this is counter style.

The aesthetic of this one is still so great. The space is beautiful and while I don't know what it was before, it is really just lovely. There are a few tables out front, and there is both upstairs and downstairs seating. Place your pastry order, and they'll box them up for you, then place any other hot food/drinks order and pay. There's also a cooler with some sandwiches and other goodies you'll want to check out!

For the best part: please get the almond croissant. This is my favorite pastry in all of the land. I have tried them in many, many places. In fact, whenever I travel (and I do so frequently), this is the one pastry I research and go out of my way to get.

Perenn has nearly perfected it. This one was so freaking good. And it's huge.

The staff is great. The almond croissant is nearly perfect. Yes, it's a bit expensive. But the ingredients are solid. The space is gorgeously aesthetic. The staff is fantastic. Sometimes, you get what you pay for. How lucky we are to have...

What you see in this picture is more than half the chocolate. Really over promised and under delivered. The actual baking was good. Great lamination and buttery taste, but this particular pastry was a sad site.

Also the place gets really really busy (line out the door, etc.) after about 9:30 on Saturday, so go early or on a...

This was my first visit to Perenn as I have not been to the first Franklin location. I tried the matcha cloud which was so different and delicious. I also tried the Gruyère and prosciutto croissant, the danish of the day (raspberry jam) and a baguette. The pastries were yummy but the baguette was tougher than normal. I went on a Saturday morning so there was an understandably long line since it’s so new. I’d go back for dine in service once the volume slows down. I got some granola and it’s hands down the best granola...
