Bluff City Coffee & Bakery

Great coffee. It’s hard to find a good bakery these days, and I have to say, this is not a good bakery. After spending $15 for an almond coffee cake, I couldn’t wait to return to our rented apartment to dig right in. After sawing through it (yes you must saw and not cut) my palate was treated to the quality and deliciousness you’d find in a week old pastry left uncovered and forgotten. The small quiche I purchased was bland and tasteless. So, I had the everything bagels as the last resort. What could go wrong there? Hardly a bagel in terms of texture- no chewy goodness- very bread like and with odd spices hardly befitting an everything bagel (do I taste oregano? Italian seasoning? Very odd). $43 for two coffees, 4 bagels, a coffee coke and quiche. Overpriced and frankly very disappointing. Update: I did get a refund promptly. Store manager did contact to resolve.

Food is okay. People are rude. A person who I assume is the manager, sits in the back on his computer and comes out occasionally and barks at customers to move the line for placing orders. They are rude about the mask mandate and then make excuses about that. Of course there is a mask mandate. Understood. But there’s a polite way to handle that if you want to keep customers. And instead of having complimentary masks available when a customer didn’t have one, they lost a sale and probably a customer. The workers behind the counter are sometimes polite, sometimes rude, sometimes indifferent, sometimes all in one visit. You just never know what you’re going to get.

My daughter and her friend love Bluff City! We made a quick stop on our way to Tuscaloosa, AL from KS a year ago and our daughter makes us stop every time we make the drive. They have enjoyed muffins, bagels, sandwiches, smoothies, and other drinks. We all love the Berry Lemonade! Nice big menu with many options. We don't drink coffee but it smells good.

Where do I start. Well avoid the pickles if at all possible as it is like drinking a strong fermented vinegar. And the wonderful looking cake like, cookies are hard, old and flavorless. Don’t waste your $$$! I ordered a white chocolate Carmel iced coffee with extra caramel. I am not sure what I got but just tasted
like a extra strong plain iced coffee, no Carmel. Just FYI the chicken salad was tasteless and barely any of it on the sandwich with a limp piece of lettuce. For having such a high recommendation to try this place it was a huge and very pricy disappointment. But their lemon cookie was ok on a high note.

I ordered a Grill Cheese Sandwich for lunch and was very very disappointed. The bread looked and feel like toast. The cheese was cold and not even a sign of ever being hot. The cookie was so hard I couldn't bite it and the pasta salad was Bland. For the cost of this meal. It's not worth it.

Wonderful service and really good coffee. The everything bagel was really good, focaccia based. And the homemade raspberry pop tart was decadent. Would definitely recommend.

Good service. Fresh baked muffins, cakes, bagels, donuts, danishes, and more. Their breakfast is good and the coffee is fresh. The blueberry muffin definitely has real blueberries and the cinnamon muffin is amazing. For sure coming back.

BLUFF CITY COFFEE IS MY JAM!! I love this place with all of my heart. A very cool, low-key place with great coffee, great cocoa, and great people. They are one of the few places that stocks Cashew milk, which is my favorite alternative to regular milk (I'm lactose intolerant). I go here every time I'm downtown and they never disappoint. There is a new location in midtown now too! Now if I can just get them to come to Bartlett life would be perfect :)

Solid little coffee shop with a wide selection of fresh bakery items and customizable sandwiches. Service was super speedy and no issues. Prices would average to slightly above average but the food was good quality.

Several little table and chairs if you want TJ stay and enjoy your treats. It also looked like they sold take-home beans as well as full size pies and breads.

Sadly I have to change my review. Let me say that the person who made my coffee is amazing she did an excellent job. However my issue is with the cashier. I paid for my coffee and handed her my card and when she finished she put my card on the counter although I had my hand out. I said to myself she is busy I could understand that but disrespect is not underdstandable which I felt was grossly displayed as I watched her hand "other" customers behind me their cards and cash in their hand. So it was just me not her workload. I did not drive out of my way and spend money to be disrespected. They have lost a customer. I won't be back.
