I have passed this spot on several trips, and always wanted to try it! So glad we had the chance to try, and we will be back. The line was long, but it moved quick, and we had a group of 8. Indoor and outdoor seating options and parking lot where they validate. Sooo many yummy pastries to try, breakfast and lunch options, and drinks! There is something for everyone here, even if it's just a grab and go place for bread!
Solid iced vanilla lattes. Didn't get to try the pastries because they were all sold out except for the cookies (it was around 12PM). The girl taking our order was not very friendly. Interior is quite quaint and cute with plenty of seating indoors and outdoors as well.
This cafe is amazing - when there is a line out the door, you sometimes question whether the place is actually going to be good or just hyped up mediocre food. Niedlov's lived up to the hype. We had blueberry muffins, a bacon chive scone, miso skillet, and a lox bagel - all were delicious. The latte I had was also very good. Highly recommend coming here for breakfast. Service is pretty quick as well and they have a nice little firepit area to sit and eat by.
Amazing food, cute vibe, great service. Would highly recommend and will be going back!
Totally worth the long wait in line. The raspberry pistachio scone was just the right sweetness and so soft inside. The ham and cheese croissant had the perfect ratio of filling and was so delicious!
I visited during a trip to visit family in Chattanooga and had lunch with my sister and brother-in-law then coffee with a girlfriend here. Everything that was available for lunch looked so exquisite, and I got a bite of my sister's food. Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly what I got, but I know that it was all really tasty. For my afternoon coffee snack, too, the pastry I had and the drink I had were lovely. The atmosphere is really nice, too, even with a baby with me in a stroller. I would love to go back and try even more options! As with many things downtown, parking is kind of tricky, but if you park in the lot in the back, validation is available from the machine by the Cafe's front door.
Phenomenal bakery!!! I had one of the best blueberry muffins I've ever had in my life. I knew they'd be good when I ordered a meal from a local restaurant that sources their bread from here. You can't go wrong with their pastries. I was told by one of the staff they're known for their croissants that are also stuffed with a marmalade. I tried the raspberry croissant which was amazing. It was so good I came back here for lunch. Their chicken sandwich did not disappoint either. The bread sopped up the sauces in there. Their coffee isn't world changing but it's still good and better than some coffee I had in the area.
Niedlov's is arguably amongst the very best bakeries in Chattanooga, as attested by the fact that so many local restaurants have opted to source their bread and bread products from them. Their food offerings everyday are excellent, and their service top-notch. Recently, they have opted to expand their portfolio of products and to compete specifically with the local pizzerias. The pizzas have great visual appeal, and the crusts are excellent. Here though is the issue for me, we sampled three different pizzas, and while the ingredients were fresh, looked great visually, all you could taste was the garlic, a major disappointment. This flavor profile will make me very reluctant to consider Niedlov's as an option for our weekly pizza purchases.
Had lunch here with a colleague. Ordered the salmon salad which was so lite and refreshing. The flavors blended so well and every bite was delicious! I ended the meal with a flourless chocolate cookie that was divine! This is a definite return to spot! Plus they have a free parking station for the lot next door.
