    “I live near this area and have been looking for a coffee shop and wow, I was very pleased.. I walked in, and the aesthetic was exactly what the name is! I loved the vibe, they had some jazz music playing.. also there was a drum set so obviously they have live music offered which is something else I love… now I didn’t try any food, but I did have a white chocolate latte and it is so good (sipping it right now).. so I will definitely be coming back to get this again and try a pastry.. the customer service was great and quick.. definitely give this place a shot if you’re a coffee shop lover like myself”

    “First: I’m extremely picky about my lattes. I am sensitive to overcooked (burnt taste) beans and undercooked (sour taste) beans. I have gone here repeatedly for iced lattes and they have always provided the perfect texture and balance. They are by far (and I don’t say this lightly) providing the BEST espresso in Nashville. Second: What truly makes this cafe great is that it’s the only cafe in town that makes you feel like you’re wanted. All of these cafes built in the last 20 years are hard, cold and sterile. If you’re younger than 40, you probably don’t even remember that cafes used to be warm, social, inviting and a home for many people. New cafes are so uninviting and I feel it’s done on purpose to get you to leave so more customers come in. But the Daily Grind? It’s homey, has couches, the walls are filled with all sorts of crafty love and plants and there’s a poster on the front that lets you know this is a SAFE space for all. It’s reminiscent of the old days when you had warm social spaces where you could spend hours every day with friends playing games, drawing, talking and no one glued to their phones. I hope this cafe gets to expand and provide even more of this nostalgic homey feel and bring that needed community experience back to Nashville. Third: GREAT food and customer service on top of all of the above”

    “My wife and I were exploring the historic Germantown neighborhood in Nashville on Sunday, October 4th, looking for a good Vietnamese coffee. We stumbled upon Em & Mẹ Vietnamese Café, and it turned out to be an absolute highlight of our trip! We ordered their traditional Vietnamese Coffee and a Bánh Mì, and both were absolutely delicious. The coffee had that perfect, bold, authentic kick, and the bánh mì was fresh and packed with flavor. Our only regret was that we couldn't order more off the menu—we were still too full from eating breakfast at our hotel! Beyond the food, the space itself completely surprised us. The decor feels like a cozy urban oasis, blending a deeply welcoming family courtyard with a stylish Saigon living room vibe. It’s incredibly charming, filled with greenery, and has a relaxed atmosphere that actually makes you want to sit back and stay a while. We highly recommend Em & Mẹ for anyone in Nashville looking for fantastic coffee, great food, and a wonderful space to unwind. We will definitely be back on our next trip when we have an empty stomach! Tip: If you stop by, don't forget to ask the owner, Tu, about the meaning behind the shop's name! It adds such a wonderful, personal touch to an already beautiful family business.”

The coffee was outstanding—easily some of the best we’ve had anywhere. Really well-balanced, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The space is small and gets very busy, which was obvious when we visited. Service was fine—efficient and professional, though not especially warm. That said, given how packed it was, it’s understandable. If you’re serious about coffee, this place is 100% worth a stop. We’ll definitely be back for the coffee alone.”

    Days after Blank Street Coffee opened in Los Angeles, a line stretched "down the street" despite 103-degree heat, a local source told Daily Coffee News.

  • Fast-Food Chains Chase a Thirstier, Younger Crowd

    Fast-Food Chains Chase a Thirstier, Younger Crowd

    Americans are drinking less alcohol, and fast-food chains have spotted a chance to fill the gap. They are courting young customers with frozen coffees and energy drinks that buyers can customize down to the flavor shot. Taco Bell has pushed harder than most, opening more than 30 Live Más Cafés inside its existing restaurants, where workers it calls "Bellristas" serve creamy chillers, fruity refreshers, and seasonal drinks alongside the usual menu. A diner can wash down a Triple Double Crunchwrap with a Pineapple Lime Rockstar Energy Refresca and its 200 milligrams of caffeine, roughly twice a regular coffee. Early results have already justified the expansion. After Taco Bell debuted Live Más Café outside San Diego in late 2024, that location saw a 40% sales lift, and the chain now plans a systemwide rollout as it chases $5 billion in beverage sales by 2030.
