J Clayborn's Bakery & Cafe

A must-go when I return to visit Lebanon! Grew up with Drivers Bakery & so happy the Smiths are continuing the tradition. Great memories & great food!

Very quick and friendly staff. Breakfast was excellent today. Our first time and will be back for sure. Might be our new favorite breakfast place and the donuts are great as well. This is a bakery/restaurant. Excellent.

Breakfast was delicious!!! And dessert is always great!!

I’d give zero stars if I could. Stopped on over a month prior to needing a cake and was told to come back a week before and order that it wasn’t a issue. Called today two weeks prior to see when I could meet with the cake decorators and was referred to their fb page and to send images so they could see them and set it up. They responded back now saying they cannot do any order for that weekend and I am now trying to find a custom cake two weeks prior. Terrible communication within the company.

I visited this bakery for the first time after many people commented on how good it is. They had a nice variety of baked goods and the woman that waited on my was very friendly and took her time explaining what everything was. I bought an assortment of donuts and cookies and all were very good. I only gave 4 stars instead of five because I thought they were slightly expensive. However, that won't stop me from going back.

Good and cozy place. Fresh food and great atmosphere.

I love this place. My dog really enjoys it as well. Anything strawberry they have is great. Cat, is a great server as well she will take care of you. I've had most of there menu and you really can't go wrong. There bathrooms are also very clean. I recommend a stop here if your ever in town!

I'm not exaggerating when I say this place has the best donuts I've ever eaten. Both regular glazed and chocolate. Their pink cookies are also great.

Update: J. Clayborn’s Bakery is now a frequent stop for us and our donut needs 😁
It is exciting to find such a Wonderful place with history and a Great friendly staff in your own back yard. (Lived here for just under a year). My boy and I got the 4 eggs, meat w/ hash brown casserole. It was done quickly, perfectly and we were soon headed to the donut counters. We have only tried about 1/2 of the kinds they make and believe me.. we know good donut and these are great donuts. I used to travel to gourmet donuts in Mt. Juliet, but no more! Can’t wait to go back to try more things on the breakfast menu.

We will go back to verify how well the new owners do since last time. The servers did a good job 👏 we returned on a Friday and the service was excellent due to a experienced server and she is.
