Overview

Slow Hand Bakehouse, nestled in the heart of Lebanon, Tennessee, redefines the humble coffee shop experience with its blend of artisanal baking and inviting atmosphere. Located at 111 S Greenwood St, this charming spot operates within a lovingly preserved old home, where original features such as the fireplace and historic floor plan add warmth and character to every visit.

The menu offers a refined selection of coffee and baked goods that speak directly to those who appreciate quality and craftsmanship. Standouts include their cappuccino and cortado, brewed with care to create smooth, balanced flavors. For those seeking variety, the cold brew, mocha, or the distinctive bourbon vanilla latte provide distinct twists. Beyond coffee, an array of fruit teas, Earl Grey, and chai serve as thoughtful alternatives for diverse palates.

What truly sets Slow Hand Bakehouse apart is its thoughtfully curated food menu. The bacon egg & cheese biscuit receives widespread acclaim for its perfectly flaky texture and harmonious blend of savory ingredients. Breakfast items like the frittata and soufflé showcase a deft hand in preparing satisfying, delicate dishes that pair impeccably with the drinks. Sweet treats such as the classic chocolate chip cookie, macarons, and raspberry pastries add a delectable finish to any visit.

Customer experiences highlight a consistent commitment to quality and hospitality. Whether it’s Cynthia Wright-Kau’s praise for the friendly atmosphere and excellent breakfast burrito or Elizabeth Strattan’s glowing review of a custom birthday cake, Slow Hand Bakehouse proves it excels in both everyday comforts and special occasions. Eric Ineman’s nod to the breakfast sandwich demonstrates the meticulous attention to texture and taste that only an expert bakehouse can offer.

The space itself invites guests to linger, with ample seating inside where one can enjoy fresh baked goods alongside robust coffee. The porch seating, basking in gentle sunlight or shaded by leafy trees, offers an appealing alternative for those who prefer an al fresco experience. This environment, coupled with approachable service, makes the bakehouse an ideal spot for locals and visitors alike seeking a pause from their day.

Slow Hand Bakehouse is more than a coffee shop; it’s a destination for those who value craft, comfort, and community. Whether stopping by for a morning pick-me-up, a midday treat, or a celebratory cake, patrons leave with more than just food and drink—they leave with a genuine sense of place and a memory worth returning to.

I got a breakfast sandwich and an ice coffee. Coffee was decent but man was that sandwich delicious. The biscuit was absolute fire and the cheese was perfectly melted on the fluffy eggs. I would return for sure.. possibly get two sandwiches next time, double down.

Phenomenal!!! Slow Hand Bakehouse makes some of the tastiest biscuits, cookies, and other baked goods I’ve ever had. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted with a large display case filled with fresh baked goodies. Behind the counter, you can see talented individuals creating even more delicious items from scratch. They have plenty of sweet and savory options including croissants, scones, and cupcakes. There is plenty of seating inside if you want to enjoy your baked good with a cup of coffee (also fantastic). The business is inside of an old home, and I love that they kept some of the original features like the fireplace and floor plan. We live about 30 minutes away and go out of our way frequently to stop in. Stop in for yourself. You won’t regret it.

Although I was a little too late to order breakfast off the menu at 11:45, I managed to snag one of the breakfast soufflés I have to say it’s yummy! This is a super cute little place with a nice big porch to eat on in the sun or in the shade. Friendly and quick.

On the recommendation of the wondering girl behind the counter, I had the jalapeño sausage croissant today and was blown away. The croissant was flakey and buttery with plenty of filling. It went well with my salted caramel latte. Parking isn’t my favorite here but it’s better than trying to find parking on the square.

While travelling we stopped here for a mid-morning snack. We had a croissant, peach scone and the Spinach-Ham Frittata. Everything was delicious. You order at the counter and they bring you your food. I had a delicious iced matcha with almond milk. This is a small bakery-cafe with a few tables inside and some tables outside on the porch. There is parking next the the building, which is an older craftsman house.
