Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
Jeni’s Ice Cream is the most popular spot for ice cream in Nashville.
Jeni’s Ice Cream is the most popular spot for ice cream in Nashville. They have several locations spread throughout the city; you’ll find them in downtown (5th & Broadway), Hillsboro, 12 South, the Farmers’ Market, and the one pictured below is in East Nashville. Don’t be surprised if there’s a long line out the door, but if you catch them at the right time, there may be no wait at all! Their flavors are unique, and all so, so delicious; choose from Brambleberry Crisp (that’s what I got!), Buttercream Birthday Cake, Salted Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flakes, or Boston Cream Pie, just to name a few. They also have dairy-free flavors for those who are lactose intolerant!
A Local’s Tip: If you’re in East Nashville, go to Rosepepper Cantina for dinner beforehand. If you’re in 12 South, get dinner at Urban Grub (reservations) beforehand. If you’re downtown, go to Blanco Cocina & Cantina to get dinner beforehand.

Five Daughters Bakery
If you’re looking for something sweet, Five Daughters Bakery in Nashville is the place to go.
If you’re looking for something sweet, Five Daughters Bakery in Nashville is the place to go. This insta pic worthy bakery (cute colors, signs, and designs everywhere!) sells out of their sweet treats EVERY DAY. It’s that good.
Why I love Five Daughters Bakery:
There is literally not a person who doesn’t love FDB
From their website: “No chemical preservatives. No genetically modified organisms. No hydrogenated oils. No soy. No artificial colors or flavors. Our treats are made daily from scratch, sourcing locally and fresh, from our family to yours.”
They make Paleo and Vegan donuts, too! I mean!!!!! It doesn’t get better than that y’all.
*Keep in mind: We came in close to closing and were lucky to snag one of the six donuts that were left on this Friday date night after dinner. Don’t go too late at night or you will be out of luck!
If you visit Nashville, this place has to be on your list! They have two locations in Nashville, by the way: 12 South and East Nashville. My husband and I enjoy the 12 South location, because we grab some pizza at Mafiaoza’s right next door beforehand, because pizza + donuts = the best date night ever.
Seasonal Doughnuts are the best! For fall they have “Pumpkin Spice Latte” flavor!
