Koch's Bakery

Just got 4 different types of cake donuts and they were all so full of oil that when I bit in it was like biting into an orange with oil gushing everywhere. They either didn’t let the fryer get to a high enough temperature before cooking or the batter was too loose, but just drove home and threw them all into the trash. What a waste of time and money. The order donuts pictured in order reviews don’t appear to have this issue so it was probably an off day, but I’m busy traveling and don’t have time to request a refund or try them again. This is why consistency is so important. A good cake donut should be nice and dense, a nice firm crisp on the outside, and a moist dense cake beneath that.

So, this morning coming out of the hotel, we found two great places right next. First one, Koch's Bakery where we purchased the best donuts that I have tried. We got the blueberry and coconut, chocolate glazed and plain donut. Let me tell you, amazing!! We are just traveling through Chattanooga and I made the mistake of thinking that I was not going to find anything nice. I was completely wrong, not only the donuts but the people are very nice and friendly. Now, on the way to the battle for Chattanooga, we found a soap company right on Broad St, Good Fortune Soap & Spa. My wife loved it! More people need to know about this place. Chattanooga is not only historical, the people who are venturing in small businesses deserve to succeed. I am doing my part, now you do yours and go to Koch's bakery and next door is Mad Priest Coffee Roasters, both small but deserving recognition.

First time at this bakery and I really loved the donuts we got! The cake donuts are a little crispy on the outside but nice and moist inside. I got a salted caramel buttermilk donut and it was amazing! 🤤 They weren't super friendly but I'm okay with that, as long as an establishment isn't rude. It was clean and they had a nice selection of pastries, cookies and cakes as well. We will definitely be back for more!

I'm giving it 3 stars due to its cookies. I picked up doughnuts and cookies and although the doughnuts get 4.5 starts the cookies get a 1. They were hard like a brick and must have been left over from the night before. I have gotten doughnuts here before so they are good with those, but stay away from cookies.
