Dozen is a place
we can share.

About Dozen
Dozen was never intended to make it this long. In 2009, founder Claire Meneely started Dozen as a one-woman holiday cookie pop-up, baking in a rented commercial kitchen and selling at local farmers markets. Thanks to word-of-mouth, some good press, and building an excellent team, Dozen continues to this day. Dozen's bakery/cafe was opened on February 2nd, 2015- Groundhog Day! 

Today, our team at Dozen provides pastries and bread to many local Nashville restaurants, and serves customers from Nashville and beyond our full line of bread, pastries, and menus for breakfast, lunch, and brunch. 

Dozen’s Values
Quality
At Dozen, we believe that putting our best into everything we do always yields the greatest result. We choose to support vendors, farmers, and artisans who consistently deliver the finest and freshest ingredients available.

Community
We value ourselves, those we work alongside, our customers, and all members of our community at large. We're free to be who we are and put our unique selves into everything we make and do.
We recognize that our privilege as individuals and as a collective require us to support and stand up for those who are less privileged.

Integrity
We recognize that the success of our business is dependent on the trust and confidence we earn from our employees, our customers, and our community. We operate every facet of Dozen with ethics and integrity as our guiding principles.

Education
We constantly seek to expand our knowledge and skills in order to improve our work. We pass on our collective knowledge and skills to those who seek to learn. We foster an environment that encourages growth, both personal and professional.
