It didn’t take long for word to get out about Bread & Butter Artisan Bakery and Local Market in Red Bank. With small-batch artisan breads in interesting varieties and lovely, delectable pastries fresh every morning, there’s plenty to choose from for a quick meal in the morning or a stop on your way home before dinner.
THE SPACE
Located on Dayton Boulevard between Ashland Terrace and Morrison Springs Road, the bakery’s front windows offer a glimpse of the goodies inside, tempting drivers to make a quick turn into the business’ small parking lot. It’s not a large space, but it’s plenty for a business that is primarily grab-and-go. An L-shaped counter is the focal point, with big jars of various cookies on one end and a glass display case of the day’s baked goods on the other. Metal shelves behind the counter are filled with a selection of breads.
On each side are cases displaying a variety of regional products from small businesses such as Sequatchie Cove Creamery, Chattanooga Butter Co., Tickiwoo Farms, Harvest Roots, Olive Chattanooga, Hoff & Pepper and more. There’s a selection of cured and preserved meats, too, so Bread & Butter would be a great place to put together a quality cheese and charcuterie board with ingredients from one stop.
A small standing counter along the window offers a space to doctor up a cup of Velo coffee or mingle before you head out to your car. For those who would rather sit, cafe tables out front are a great place for a quick bite or sip.
