“ I went to Cothran's on Wednesday for the first time. The store is very clean and has an amazing selection of baked goods. The staff was extremely courteous and the prices are extremely fair for homemade goodies. I ordered a peanut butter cookie, 2 Mississippi mud brownies, a German chocolate cupcake, a macadamia nut cookie, two peanut butter/ chocolate clusters, and a chocolate chip cookie.... Let's just say the entire batch didn't make it all the way home.... They were all amazing! ”
“ Best doughnuts and cakes around. If you're looking for an old fashioned bakery. This is your place. ”
“ This review is so everyone will know that Cochran's Bakery on Wallace Street, employees MIRACLE WORKERS a.k.a ANGELS. I literally tried to reach the bakery at 5 different Walmarts for a week without success. I gave up on a Walmart bakery and also tried Target, Publix, and Winn Dixie. I guess nobody answers phones anymore but if you have a website that is not operating properly , it's a good idea to consider taking phone calls. I called COCHRANS after a suggestion from a phone operator for the Attalla Walmart. I hadn't bothered to look for their hours of operation. When I called it was 3:00 (thanks Vicki for listening to my sad story) and I had no idea they closed at 4. They didn't reopen until Tuesday and my son's birthday party, with relatives from out of state attending, was less than 24 hours away. When she told me that they closed at 4, I thought there's no way they can do anything customized, so I won't be getting that " YOU'RE THE BEST MOMMY IN THE WORLD" I live to hear from my son. However, I was wrong, not only did they customize the cake, they did it 45 minutes before they closed. I don't know what it taste like but it's beautiful and I can't imagine ANGELS making or selling cake that was anything less than mouthwatering. Thanks again to everyone who works there, you saved the day. If I could I would give you a million stars !! (helpful information, every bakery for Walmart has different hours of operation and they ARE NOT posted anywhere, so just use COCHRANS!!) ”
“ Best donuts available in the area! I've been eating deserts from here for over 20 years. I have and will continue to enjoy their fantastic treats for many years to come. The service is always fast and friendly. I always look forward to breakfast donut holes from Cothran's. ”
“ The following cake was for an anniversary occasion. The creative design and the beautiful fall colors exceeded expectations. The taste and the texture of the cake was delicious. If you are looking for high quality desserts with friendly and professional customer service, Cothran's is the best place to go. You will not be disappointed ”
“ While we are fairly new to the area, all of our neighbors consider Cothran's a staple. Truly some of the best donuts I've ever had - Gadsden is lucky to have such a fantastic bakery. The caramel apple fritters are heavenly. They have cakes and cookies as well that I have yet to try, but also look fantastic. ”
“ First time here. Service was fast and friendly despite the line. Pre ordered a cheesecake and German chocolate cake...both fantastic. I've never had such light cheesecake or German chocolate. Exceptionally good. Also got an Apple Bread that was delicious and a blueberry bear claw I think it was called. Really impressed and will definitely be back! ”
“ Can't believe it's taken so long to stop in here and check these guys out. First thing to keep in mind, they are on a busy part of the street and there is a light to turn in to the parking lot, but not a light to turn out .... so you may have to turn out and find a spot to turn around, depending on where you are heading next. This is a great little home grown baked goods store. Looks like they have the capability to fulfill any of your baking needs. I popped in and grabbed a donut and was very pleased. Selection is good and prices are great. Cream filled/glazed donut was .99 cents (plus tax). Staff was friendly and took turns helping people, so you got in and out pretty quickly. All in all very pleased with my visit to Cothran's Bakery. ”
