Cothran's Bakery - Bakery and Cake Shop in Gadsden - 440 George Wallace Dr, USA

Cothran’s made this beautiful cake for an anniversary occasion. The design with the fall colors, which was requested, was absolutely stunning. I highly recommend Cothran’s to anyone who is looking for delicious desserts with impeccable designs💕

If you need a special cake that taste absolutely amazing I HIGHLY recommend Vicki Smith! She knows what she's doing! I can call, and she gets some ideas and has me the most appropriate and PERFECT cake for any occasion!! Wow! I'm blown away by this one. It has even extra special meaning to me. Thank you again 💓

The doughnuts are great, the reason for 1 star is they don’t disclose at the register that they charge a fee for using a credit or debit card. It should be illegal to do that without disclosing to the public. The fee? It’s 10%…

Best staff in the whole United States. They will never turn a customer down. They will do their best to make their customer satisfied. I really appreciate everyone who is working there. They are really nice people and they do care so much. Thank you so much for everything. They have the best cakes ever.

We’ve seen this bakery every time we pass by going to Lowe’s hardware and traveling to the highway. But we never really knew how good the place was until 4 weeks ago when my dad bought a cranberry orange bread cake. Which I may say is very delicious it tastes homemade without any preservatives and truly coming from a bakery. Recently my dad bought a blueberry bread cake this past week and some pound cake sampler’s which came in small amounts, we all enjoyed it very much. However I may want to warn you that at times the sweetness of their cakes could be a little exaggerate but it all depends, you just have to wait and see. I read in their website that this family owned bakery has a rich history in the making, which I find very interesting.

I've have lived in Gadsden for almost 2 years and on a daily bases, I would pass by this business, but I would never stop. until, about 2 weeks ago. My experience was okay maybe because I came at the right time which was opening 7:30 ish. This is the time I decided I would come and that's"opening". Today a day after Thanksgiving, I arrived a few minutes, after I normally would and I love their oozy goozy bars, with a dozen of glazed donuts, because my kids love Glaze Donuts. I prefer the bars, as I arrived I wasn't greet so then I felt out of place maybe the "Thanksgiving food was still activated" in this particular employee,I then was asked what can I get you? no hello!! how are you? the typically customer service greeting, I wanted to say never mind I decided not to get anything and leave. but I thought about my kids,and set my feelings as aide for them so I preceded to order my usual see above. As I go to check which is me paying and leaving without thinking to check my bag, so I left and was driving down the street to eat my bars, they were frozen and hard to break, so I turn around I'm like I thought to myself I've could been warned they were frozen. because usually they are soft and ready to ear will not today. As I return I asked for a refund just for my frozen bars then I overheard the lady who was waiting on me go to the back to argue her point.she thought I didn't hear her but basically I overheard heard here say I told her they were cold then when she came out with who I assume was a Mgr, I said if you had told me they were frozen,I would have never gotten the bars, what you said to me when I didn't see them in the window were you out? you replied I have some in the back if you had told me directly or specified they were frozen, I would have never gotten them because I'm not heading to a microwave or maybe out of courtesy you could have warm them up for me. but I wasn't extended that opportunity, this would have saved you and I an issue,she said nothing after I explained that to her with customers looking on. 2 of the customers who were waiting behind me agreed and was like I would did the same, I didn't want to keep engaging with the customers on the lack of communication,so I said it's okay then not realizing they had to refund my whole order and not just the bars, I then asked why was my whole order being refunded? I'm think they may have not known how to do a refund because it was about a good 3 minutes they were trying to refund me my money for the bars,then it went through. Then I was told I would have to be charged again for the donuts, but it would take 3 to 4 days for a refund. I was over it then I said it's okay I'll just leave then you would have thought they would try to rectify my issue, nothing.then never apologized for my inconvenience then as I drove off I thought to myself should I go back at this point I an undecided but here is my experience and I hope this long ordeal doesn't happen to anyone else.Cothran's Bakery please fix your customer service thanks you.

Conveniently located. Small clean bakery full of fresh made filled, covered and glazed donuts, prepackaged cupcakes, candies and cookies. Beautiful cakes ready made. I just popped in to grab a few, the chocolate filled are heavenly, and the cream filled are a great choice too. Very fresh, excellent texture, melt in your mouth wonderful. The staff was prompt and courteous and the prices were competitive.

They were SO busy but handling as they should, customets served promptly, donuts and fresh and hot zooming out of the kitchen. 1st time and ❤️ it
