There’s A Bakery On This Beautiful Farm Near Nashville And You Have To Visit
The Cookie Jar Cafe is in Dunlap, Tennessee, about two hours from Music City. It makes for the best kind of day trip that’s rewarded with a couple of sugary calories – which are the best kind, if you ask us. Enjoy a day on the farm with a couple of cupcakes and your loved ones, with the backdrop of sweet home Tennessee behind you – we’ll tell you how!
The Cookie Jar Cafe is located on this stunning piece of land - can you believe it?! It's a darling cafe that's situated smack dab in the middle of a working dairy farm, stuck hard in Tennessee's gorgeous countryside. You may feel a little nervous to drive up to a cafe in the middle of nowhere - but we promise. It's going to be one of the best decisions you make!
Located in the Sequatchie Valley, you simply won't find a better place to be. No matter the time of year, mind you.
This isn't just a bakery, either! Nah, you can enjoy all of your southern favorites as well as mix and match sides and desserts that fit your taste buds just right. We've heard the meatloaf and the yeast rolls are amazing but we'd try one of everything if we could.
One of the most stunning views you'll find at an eatery in Tennessee. It may be a bit out of the way, but ask anyone in the small farming community and they can point you down the right road. Eating at the Cookie Jar is an experience in southern hospitality as well as an exercise in effective calorie consumption.
We did promise you desserts, after all! Folks rave about the strawberry cake, and these cupcakes here look like they're ready to come home with us...
Make sure to check in during the holidays, too! You have the option to make a order and pick up the next day, making it easy to please that sweet tooth of yours. Plus, you get to drive down half a dozen picturesque back roads to get your cookies and cakes and pies...
Okay just one more picture because how DELICIOUS do these look!?
As a part of a working dairy farm, you're able to view the back-end of a successful Tennessee born and bred business. It's beautiful in the fall, hemmed in by the beautiful autumnal colors and the calming of the seasons as the world readys itself for winter.
Have you visited The Cookie Jar Cafe? Dunlap has given itself quite a name in our book. The dairy farm has been family owned and operated for 150 years, making it a true Tennessee family legend. Those are becoming fewer and farther between, so a visit may be necessary sooner rather than later.
