Awaken Bakery

I'm always excited to find a dedicated GF bakery! The selection was a little small, but everything we had was good. Grilled cheese and french toast casserole were both fantastic. I wish there were vegetarian breakfast options; they had no savory vegetarian breakfast. We will definitely go back the next time we are in the area and wish we had something like this in our town!

LOVED this place! A cute little coffee shop vibes but with tons of gf options and a lot of df/vegan options as well. I got a scone that was delicious, then went back for a sausage biscuit and sprinkle sugar cookie. It was so nice to know everything in there was safe for me! Even my family (who are not gf) enjoyed it.

This place was wonderful. The panini sandwiches were so delicious. The mac and cheese was some of the best we ever had and the desserts are out of this world. They also have frozen foods that you can take home. It is a dedicated gluten free facility and a well worth the stop!!

Absolutely delicious bakery/cafe with a clean, modern, yet cozy, atmosphere. I eat here often and the young man who takes my order is always polite and professional. As a Celiac living in KY where gluten free options are scarce even in a grocery store, this little gem of a restaurant is a dream come true!

This is the best gluten free bakery I have ever been to in the 15 years I have been celiac/gluten free. Everything my husband and I tried was amazing! I highly recommend stopping by here if you are in the Nashville area. It was worth the hour drive. It was a pleasure meeting the owner and her kids too.

amazing - I’d never had a cake pop in my life until I went to this bakery. There’s also a lot of dairy free and egg free options, which was great for me because I can’t have those things either. if you’re in bg, visiting awaken bakery is a must do.

It is SO nice to have a place I can go where I can eat anything I see! The owners are so so nice, and she is also GF/celiac, so she knows what she’s doing! Because of them, I’m having biscuit and gravy for the first time in years ❤❤ Their bread is amazing, the sweets almost too good because I always want more, and the mac and cheese is just perfect.

Seriously the best gluten free donut I've ever had. Also the bread is unbelievably good. No exaggeration absolutely delicious. So good that my boyfriend and I went for breakfast and lunch. Also the place seems to support locals by buying local (and FRESH) milk and eggs. I'm so impressed. My boyfriend doesn't have celiac and still said the same sandwich we had for lunch was awesome and he would gladly eat there anytime I wanted if you want a loaf of bread to go then order ahead online. Trust me you are going to want a loaf of bread to go and probably a slice of cake too. Oh and probably a cinnamon roll. Don't forget a cinnamon roll!

Everything is gluten free, so no worries about cross contamination! I had a chicken salad sandwich and it was delicious. I can't wait to try the other lunch items. I also had a cinnamon roll that was just perfect. The dough was yeasty, and the cream cheese frosting wasn't too sweet.

YUM!! My sister and I came across this awesome place for lunch! She is gluten sensitive and I have celiac. We are thrilled to have a local eatery that is safe and delicious. We ordered basically half the menu and it was all wonderful. Loved my pepperoni pizza toastie with tomato bisque soup! My sister had the chicken salad sandwich on a GF baguette with Mac n cheese. We also indulged in some yummy GF desserts.. cupcakes and cheesecake that was amazing! The owner was so kind and friendly. A lovely place for lunch or breakfast. Will definitely be coming back!

For once, I was not left out from holiday party enjoyment with snacks, goodies and fresh bread. Everything from bakery is tasty and they have fun coffee drinks too. The mini cupcakes are 2 bites of joy and let you try a variety. Baguettes were great to have at table for holiday meals. Also, really liked the chicken salad.
