"Surprise discovery in East Nashville and I am obsessed! They also have a location in West, but I have not been there. Their pastries are delicious and their employees are so great. They do seasonal/monthly special creations that switches up the menu and gives more items to try. Recommend ordering ahead because they sell out quickly. Will continue to shop here!"

"Wow wow wow!! Delicious. We enjoyed the cinnamon roll, everything bagel, and almond danish. Can’t wait to try some of their other items."

"With the 5.0 star rating and several hundred reviews, I was a little suspicious but had to see if it was worth the hype bc I love to find a new great pastry spot. And this is it! It’s a bit out of the way and their hours are so limited but I finally made it out and made sure to preorder the day before in case anything sold out before I got there. Plenty of preorders prepped by the time the store opened, I think, and plenty of pastries were available around 9? When we arrived. Very small place & the only downside was that there wasn’t anywhere to really sit down and enjoy indoors, on a cool morning like today. All that being said, we tried just about everything on the menu for today and everything was delicious. The everything tart honestly blew me away. The brioches were so soft, melt in your mouth, as they should be. fun and interesting flavors also. Croissants were great, puff pastry was awesome. Didn’t LOVE the caramel pecan monkey bread though and was really looking forward to it- was quite dense compared to everything else which was light, airy, fluffy. Definitely one of my top Nashville pastry spots. And there aren’t that many"

"Literally the best chocolate croissant I have ever had in the US—and I’m comparing to even places like NYC, SF, etc.. It’s nice and flakey and really like the touch of salt they put on top to add flavor. However, there was one time around 2022 when we ordered a box of assorted pastries and it was terrible for some reason—seemed like we got prior day’s batch rather than that day. Took me a while to want to try it and decided to since it’s very close to my house, and it was very good. Seemed like that one occurrence in 2022 was just a glitch in the matrix."

"I LOVE LOVE LOVE the food at Brightside.. both the sweet and the savories! This is my go-to spot for a “treat” for myself, whenever I have out of town guests coming in, or for someone that needs a little pick me up. Everyone I’ve introduced to Brightside goods absolutely loves them as much as I do. Also, the service is definitely top notch! I use the order ahead option quite a bit which makes it super convenient to just swing by and do a quick pick up and go. Highly recommend!"
