16 Best Coffee Shops in Cookeville

“We stopped by for the first time yesterday during the birthday bash and it was insane! But the workers were so nice and did so well handling it. I enjoyed my Cuban coffee my son liked his cake but the birthday cake coffee just wasn’t sweet enough for him or me honestly. But we will be back!“

“My sister, daughter and I stopped in this afternoon. I had the iced Irish Cream, my sister had the hot Captain Jack and my daughter had an iced Captain Jack. We bought half a dozen assorted macarons and split them. Everything was amazing and since we are all in college, we plan on studying there from time to time.“

“Better than Starbucks by far! But needs to calm Down on the heat just a tad bit. Scorching hot but still taste good.“

“We stopped in for the first time and we’re so glad we did! The fall drinks were delicious and Heather did an amazing job taking our order. We will definitely stop in again when we’re back in the area. I work for a nonprofit that serves adults with IDD, so I appreciate your vision for serving this community. ❤️“

“This was hands-down one of the most unique coffee experiences I’ve ever had.

You walk in expecting a typical coffee shop and instead step into what feels like a hidden speakeasy tucked inside a warehouse—intimate, unexpected, and full of soul. Mike is from Cuba, and you can feel that authenticity immediately. This isn’t just coffee; it’s culture, history, and craftsmanship in a cup.

Watching Mike make authentic Cuban coffee and hearing him share pieces of his story made the experience unforgettable. The coffee itself was bold, rich, perfectly balanced, and unlike anything I’ve had elsewhere—clearly made with pride and intention.

If you’re in Cookeville and want something that feels special, this is it. Come for the coffee, stay for the experience, and leave already planning your next visit.“

“I was just in this morning! I was wanting to start the morning for my dogs with a special treat 🐕 ☀️ . The staff were so friendly to my fur babies and they get so excited to walk in. Thank you for being so accommodating and thoughtful. My girl Rajah did end up having her whole treat in the car. I guess she was just being shy at the cafe 🙈. Thanks again! Y’all are awesome 🤩 P.s love the coffee and snacks for humans too 🤭☕️💕“

“Walked into this coffee shop not know what to expect. What I found was awesome coffee! A very kind and welcoming barista. And a story that inspired me! Definitely stop in and check it all out and find out what we can learn from bison and facing the storms of life! 5⭐️’s for sure!“

“Poets South- Okay, everyone needs to try Morning magic cheese bagel! Such a unique flavor experience! Spicy mustard, cheese and I get mine with bacon! After my first try a week ago I came back to get another one! I have been craving it! Staff seem really helpful and friendly. The coffee shop vibe is a bit retro with cool coffee shop tunes in the background! Chill!“

“Tried this for the first time! It was amazing! The staff were wonderful and took time to explain the menu and all the options to us. They were very helpful to answer all our questions. My husband and I both tried the 7 fizz sodas. We were shocked at how low the price was. They tasted amazing and we had a truly pleasant conversation with our employee while we waited on our drinks to be made. I would recommend them to any and everyone. Service with a smile and great tasting sodas! Thank you!“
