"Nashville isn’t exactly a walkable city, but we would stroll into traffic to nab a slice of the fudgy chocolate torte at Flour Your Dreams. Thankfully, that isn’t necessary, since that slice, not to mention expertly made scones and muffins, are right there in Hermitage. This is a bakery born out of bread making, so get a signature sourdough boule sliced and ready for your dinner table before you leave, and some gorgeous local honey or butter to go with it. There aren't a lot of tables here, but there’s usually one available to fire up your laptop and stay awhile. Their chai, london fog, golden milk latte, and seasonal drinks are also excellent and often inspire us to take a giant deep, relaxing breath after the first sip." - ann walczak, bailey freeman
