Reviews of Dutch Maid Bakery & Cafe (Bakery)

Meleah Honeycutt

Cindy Day is spectacular. We wandered into the Dutch Maid Bakery on a whim and immediately were overwhelmed by the smell of warm maple. The bakery was supposed to be closed, but Cindy greeted us with the warmest welcome and told us all about her freshly baked goods. I bought a DOZEN coconut macaroons (which may have changed my life), a Maple Table cake (which our noses forced us into), and a peanut butter chocolate square (which looked way too good to pass up). We sat in the parking lot in beautiful silence as we each ate a coconut macaroon, subtle tears of bliss rolling down our cheeks (possible slight dramatization). Needless to say, EVERYTHING was incredible. We will come back. We have to because we didn’t get to try Cindy’s cinnamon rolls!! What’s more than the allure of so many more treats to try, is having another conversation with the extraordinary baker who’s hands made each one of them.

Peyton Coats

Love, love, LOVE the Salt-Rising Bread! Only place I know to get this wonderful bread! Never have gotten anything at this place that wasn't wonderful!

Angie Cripps

Visited this little gem yesterday. Walked in the door and it smelled amazing! We only purchased items in the bakery. We loved the moonshine wedding bread!!!! Got the apple and apricot turnovers they were delish. Got sugar cookie it was average. The chocolate oatmeal cookie was terrible....very hard...and old! I was contemplating on getting one and I should have went with my gut feeling..to the owner.....toss those old cookies out! Otherwise if I had a fresh one and tasted kinda good you would have had a 5 star review.

Went there for a typical American breakfast. Scrambled eggs with bacon, sausage, fresh cream, pancakes and apple sauce. Amazing!! The coffee is good and the staff very nice. Always ask to fill up the cup of coffee. We brought some cookies before leaving. Very nice. This place is older than a century. Definitely worth a visit.

Sue Smith

Nicole Marrero

Wonderful piece of history and great food.

J.R. Workman

Lots of great bakery choices, preserves, relishes, so on all with that personal touch that makes it taste wayyy better than you'll find in any supermarket. Great prices as well. Highly recommended.

Corliss Cooper

Awesome little bakery that will send you back in time! Fresh baked goods daily!!!

Denna Smith

Was in the area a few weeks ago stopped in and sampled several goods.Didnt care for most of them,however the chess square I had was really good. Made the 45 min drive there again today with my family for those awesome chess squares I had told them about, they only had 1 and it was hard as a rock. We got some cookies that were equally as hard. Could have bitten into bricks for way less. We wasted an evening for that.

If you’re looking for “an excellent experience” in dining out, you MUST stop by Dutch Maid Bakery in Tracy City, TN. It’s more than just the tasty food, it’s the history, the warmth and charm of the old style bakery, but mostly, it’s the warm people friendly people who work here, combined with the beautiful presentation of the menu items ! Always a pleasure and a great value here. LOVE this place ! P.S., Do try (and take home) some of the yummy baked goods, especially the Apple Pie !

Sara Geltz

Love dutch maid bakery! Salt rise bread is the best! Always order 6 loaves to bring home!

Kyle Chanin

I love this quaint little bakery. I've been going here since I moved to the area 10 years ago. Their spring salad is a big plate with chicken salad, potato salad, egg salad, pasta salad and fruit salad for $9.99. They have an assortment of fresh baked breads: Dill, Dill and Onion, Rosemary and Olive Oil, Sourdough, 100% Wheat Bread, Salt Rising Bread, White Bread, Cinnamon Raisin and more. They have an assortment of cookies that can be purchased individually or by the half dozen and dozen. There's usually an assortment of turnovers, pound cakes, danishes, and pastries. They also make custom cakes here. I love this little homie store.

Beth Carter

Hospitality, generous, as we prepared to run the Socumos 1/2 marathon.

Pristina Carpenter

Lots of yummy homemade sweets

Casey Dorton

Must stop if in the area. Great baked goods.

Jenny Gore

Quaint old bakery full of yummy treats. The old fashioned coconut cream pies I ordered for my husband's birthday were delicious!

Chris Hammonds

OMG!! Went for a truly authentic Homemade Friut Cake and came out with ALOT!! lol Excellent!!!!

James Magness

Great place for hand made baked pastries and bread! Minimum $10 to use a credit card, but you'll have no problem meeting that amount!

Melissa Chimento

It wasn't crowded, but we had a long wait for sandwiches for our group of four. Two in our group ordered the Deluxe Grilled Cheese with bacon. After a long wait(~25 min) their sandwiches came out with no bacon because they "ran out" and unmelted cheese. So $7.50 for a standard cheese sandwich and a vending machine sized bag of chips. The waitress didn't offer a substitute or an apology. We asked for turkey or some kind of meat for the sandwich and after checking with management, she brought out one thin deli slice of turkey for each person. The meat and cheese were not Boar's Head quality, more like Publix or a Walmart deli quality.The bread was very good, but we were very unhappy with the lunch overall. We should have stuck with their baked goods. Their Tennessee Mountain Moonshine Cakes are delicious.

Audrey Wyzard

We ate Reuben sandwiches here today! The service was fast and friendly! Must try the 7 layer bar or some m&m cookies!

William Robertson

It was an interesting place to visit. It really takes you back in time. The cafe had a good selection of light foods and they were tasty. The employees were very helpful and their cakes, cookies etc. are very good.

darkfang gaming mobile

Since new owner ship I don't think the bread or most of the stuff supposedly made inside is made by them , after seeing sarah Lee wrapping in the dumpster! Some or most of the deserts are delivered.

kathy huntley

Stopped for lunch, sandwiches were great. We shared a caramel apple dumpling which was flaky and hit the spot. Quaint cafe, and great baked goods-breads, pies, cookies, bars and turnovers! Well worth the stop

David Maxwell

Good, but not great baked goods.

AJ S

Quaint with delicious baked goods. The cafe next door was closed for "a large group" according to the sign on the door.

Brenda Tyner

Sweet and charming bakery with all homemade goodies. Everyone was so kind and as sweet as there cookies! Come early breakfast or lunch.

Stephen Horton

This place is amazing. Miss Cindy and the other ladies here are all great and the food is the best in town. If you’re anywhere close, stop in. Also have some great bakery items.

Debbie Humecky Kennedy

What a great find

charles c

Great foods and breads with reasonable prices.

Hallie Morris

What a disappointment. Happened upon this place and thought we were in for a real treat. Unfortunately the food was average at best. The real let down was all the pastries "looked" so delicious so we bought a variety of items. NONE of them were good. What a let down. Do not reccomend this venue. Most of the reviews are "local guides."

Robert Thompson

The best moonshine cakes we have ever eat. A must if your in the area

a anthony

A great place for lunch anytime you traveling on I-24 between Chattanooga and Nashville. I ordered the Chicken salad sandwich on wholewheat bread. All of the bread is made in house. It was excellent along with the cranberry cookies.

Stacey Janeway

Love their pastries!

Grant Inscoe

Tasty, fresh and friendly.

SUSAN ROBERSON

Fun place to learn about history, and buy all kinds of bread!

Enoch Jenkins

Good food at the cafe and even better baked goods to take home

Ben Hornung

Great service! Very nice people! Great baked goods. Food awful! My wife said it was like going to someone's grandma's house but grandma didn't know how to cook. Sunday is buffet only and expensive and bad. I will come back but only for baked goods

Jim Swiggart

One of the South's greatest unknown secrets!

This place is adorable! It's comfortable and has plenty of interesting antiques to look at. It feels like you're dining at a relatives instead of a restaurant, and I love that. Everyone was so kind and willing to help and everything was delicious! Definitely a place to come back to!

Was disappointed. Used to be great, baked goods were stale and no fried pies were available

Michelle Wostal

Best in Tennessee

LAWRENCE HANSEN

Incredible bakery. Everything made on site. Cookies and pies to die for.

Teresa Logue

Not at all a Dutch Bakery, not friendly, and not native to Tennessee. The goods were definitely not baked there and the clerk gave us a load of sarcasm as we left, saying we should buy something to keep them in business. With that attitude, they deserve to die out.

Charlene Eubank

Delicious bakery goods! Pies, cakes, cookies! And my favorite, pecan tasties, or as called them growing up, Elephant Ears! Cindy, the owner, is the Best!

Jeremy Wheeler

Very friendly people, nice cute quaint place with more than fair prices. The bakery goods are delicious!

Place was dirty. Different size portions for the same orders. Huge pieces of celery in the chicken salad. Will not return.

Iva Michelle Russell

Best in Tennessee!

Debbie Thomas

Excellent food! People very friendly and great service!

Helena Calais

Rich in history and even richer in delicious baked good. Their cinnamon rolls are pure heaven, their sweet breads (as in banana bread and beyond) taste just like grandma's best. If you're on a budget check out their day old/ marked down section in the back.

matt hogue

Very friendly staff, delicious baked goods. Can't wait to try their breakfast and lunch

Peter Iorio

It's a little off-the-beaten-track but well worth the trip. Good breakfast and lunch food and the sweets are phenomenal.

mtngirl Gaston

Great bakery. Friendly. Fresh items. Can't wait until the "White Christmas" cakes are available. This place is getting my vote for "Sweetest Bakery in America". Good luck Cindy.

Michael G

I can see the appeal. We visited on a slow morning and they were understaffed. The coffee was too strong for me but fine for my wife. Just mini Moos -- no half a and half. The eggs were a little overdone but we were warned this wasn't the usual breakfast team. There were a lot of baked goods available so naturally some were more fresh than others. The combination of decent food and very interesting decor wins compared to other options in town.

Julian F Watson Jr

Wonderful hospitality and menu, in very interesting historic location.

Colleen Rogers

Sooooo delicious!!! The moonshine and bourbon bread are very good.

Gregory Lee

The lunch menu is quite limited in variety and the portions are very small. I got their signature dish, the famous chicken salad sandwich. The photo below shows the sandwich BEFORE I ate it. This cost is $8, which is overpriced for the quantity.

Adam Grimes

Wonderful food and great atmosphere! Really enjoy seeing the old relics of the past as well as trying the original recipes from long before my time!

Vikki Thomas

Ate here sometime ago and loved it. I'm looking forward to going back.

AI Wood

Great Family

Melissa day

The place is amazing!!! After reviewing the negative comments such as Mark Angus’ ignorant remarks, he obviously has never been to this establishment. The food and atmosphere was wonderful the staff was friendly helpful and so so sweet to me and my kids! If I could reply to that ignorant pompous ass I would. Small businesses drive America and I support this one in full! Clean and wholesome Cindy and her family run this bakery and do an amazing job! I’ll go any time I get the chance! LOVE IT!

John Cheney
