Awesome Place!

by dms34

I went here for the first time last week, and I was so surprised at how great everything was! The thing is, I have lived in Murfreesboro for years and just found this place. It is behing Pei Wei, and unless you're looking for it, it's hard to spot.

They have beautiful wedding and birthday cakes on display. After trying a slice of their german chocolate cake, I would order a wedding cake from them. They offer dozens of different cakes and slices of cake. They also have many flavors of cutely decorated cupcakes. The andes mint and reeses peanut butter cupcakes are awesome. For a dollar less than Gigi's cupcakes, they are also a tremendous value.

I tried the mnm cookies, butter cookies, and cookie sandwiches. They were all delicious, and you could tell these people really know what they're doing.

The assortment of sweets is overwhelming; cheesecakes, mini cheesecakes, pies, breads, cookies, cupcakes, cakes, cake clices. There is so much to choose from! This place is better than any bakery in Nashville; for that matter, it's the best bakery I've ever tried.

As a side note, I appreciated the front desk employees' clean appearance. At any bakery I've been to, the employees are often covered in flour and look dirty. The girls at Julias are in cute, clean uniform shirts. Actually, the entire bakery is clean, which is also a rarity.

Julia's is awesome.

• Pros: Great sweets, huge assortment, convenient hours
• Cons: Not an obvious location
