Rooted in Franklin, Baked With Heart

Franklin Bakehouse grew out of a lifetime of cooking for people who matter most. Come find us at 100 East Main Street — where the bread is always fresh and the welcome is genuine.
It Started in the Kitchen

Downtown Franklin is one of Tennessee's most beloved historic main streets, and it deserved more than a generic bakery. We planted ourselves at 100 East Main because this neighborhood felt like exactly the right fit.

From our legendary homemade English muffins to made-to-order sandwich bagels with fresh-cooked eggs, every item is made using local, seasonal ingredients. The retail shelves are stocked just as thoughtfully.

Our team shows up early, bakes with care, and treats every guest like a neighbor — because most of them are. Regulars and first-timers alike get the same warm welcome.
