“Came to Nashville to see family. So glad we came here for lunch. The service and ambiance were amazing. Everyone was so polite and easy to talk to. Sat outside and ate on the deck. It was warm outside but they kept the area cool. My daughter loved the coffee selections. My wife had the hashbrown casserole and said it was the best she ever had. My “meltdown” was simply made and delicious. This will be a spot we will come back to EVERY time we come to Nashville!“

“Couldn't have asked for a better birthday dining experience! The staff was kind and attentive, live music was classy and calm, and the food was SO good. They brought a banana walnut bread on the house and card signed by the staff, so thoughtful!“

“My wife visited here about 6 months ago and got coffee on her way to the airport and hasn’t stopped talking about it since. We’re here for New Years and she made sure we came by. I got an iced white mocha, which is better than anyone I’ve ever had anywhere else and we also shared a Biscoff cheesecake which was absolutely incredible. The staff is super friendly and the coffee is amazing, you can’t go wrong if you come check this place out.“

“Must try! I went here for the first time to try their quiche and it did not disappoint. I hade the Quiche Lorraine and it was very flavorful, and creamy, and the crust was nice and flaky.Within the same week, unknown to me, my office had Cocorico cater an event for International Women's Day and I tried a couple samples of their baguette sandwich's---WOW! The bread was so soft on the inside, but crunchy on the outside. it was like I was back in Paris.

“We had another fabulous breakfast today at Thistle Farms. After an appointment in Nashville, we decided to have breakfast and Thistle Farms was close and is one of our favorite places. The food is amazing, service is friendly and fast, atmosphere is bright and open. Today we had the Biscuits and Sausage Gravy, Avocado Toast, Country Potatoes, Cinnamon Roll, Drip Coffee, Lavender Latte and Orange Juice. Portions are generous. After we ate we went into their little gift shop, which we always do, and picked up a few things. The staff in the restaurant and shop are friendly and helpful. You gotta try this place if you've never been!“

“What a great experience! We stopped here for breakfast after a red eye flight. At first we were not sure if it was open to the public because it’s in an office area. But we are so glad we persisted.
The atmosphere is really warm and inviting, with options for sitting outside or inside on a comfy couch.
Our server was really friendly and very knowledgeable about the meals this place prepares. She also came to the table to make sure everything was OK. In a small place? Unheard of! So touching!
And the food was delicious! We ordered the morning melt and the corned beef hash. They were both perfect. Capping the meal were two amazing cups of coffee (cappuccino and americano). We will definitely be back!!“

“The staff sets this stunning hotel apart with 5 star service. Hope was just wonderful and made our vacation extra special.

Chef Jess presided over a conglomeration of eggs, sausage, sweet potatoes, cheese and whatever else that imbued the dish with a magical flavor. And the Counter Culture coffee rounded out what is now my favorite breakfast. Yum ...“

“Cute little cafe attached to Tempo hotel. It has an entrance to the street as well. We ordered the BL burrito and split it. The potatoes with it were amazing. They were hot and crispy. We liked the burrito, but we would’ve liked a little more flavor in the sauce, but I’m still giving it a five stars because it was hot and fresh!“

“This place is wildly good. I got food and a latte and let my mom try and she told me go back in there and get her some. Now we are leaving the car with crossiant flakes falling off us that’s how good it is. I also like that I’m supporting an establishment that supports Palestine. Keep doing what yall do 🫶“

“[July 2025] After my visit at the museum, I was craving coffee. The space is vibrant with natural lighting due to the large glass windows all around. Each table had live flowers, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I ordered a Horchata Latte, and it was PERFECT.“

“Amazing coffee shop. First, the coffee is really good. I had a Cortado and it was perfectly made and delicious. Second, the staff is super friendly. Third, the decor gives the place a funky vibe. I highly recommend this place. It can be a little difficult to find if you’re navigating with Google maps. It’s inside a hotel“

“My name is Paul Ragnoli. I’m from the Detroit, MI. area. Recently, I visited the Sam’s Club in Hendersonville, TN. to buy a hat bc it was raining while we were there. I went to the clothing dept. where I approached an elderly, smiling lady named Marvis who was folding clothes! I asked her where the hats were and she said they don’t sell hats there and directed me to Walmart, just down the road. I struck up a conversation with her and we talked for quite a while. Marvis is 84 years old and is a very intelligent, hard working and dedicated employee. Imagine the experience she brings to the table!?Having been a former manage, as I was, we talked about workplace environment and employee / management interaction. We talked about how nice it is to have the manager / supervisor recognize you and say good morning or good afternoon, whatever the case may be. Teamwork makes everyone successful, and knowing your team mates names and their personal story lends a sense of personal worth to the workers. After all, kindness is free and the feeling it gives to your employees is immeasurable! I always treated my employees with respect, a sense of appreciation and worth and never took them for granted. Although Marvis didn’t spell it out in so many words, I sensed their could be some room for improvement in this area. I thoroughly LOVED talking to that lady! She is witty, smart, and funny! If I wasn’t in a rush to meet my son for dinner, I would have loved to pick her brain some more. So, if anyone in management is reading this, please stop by and show some respect for someone who has put in the time on this Earth and knows a thing of two. Just a smile and a hello and a “How are you doing Marvis?”. It would really make an elderly lady feel happy. Anyone who works there, please stop by and tell her that Paul from Detroit (who was riding in a handicapped scooter) will never forget her. And of someone could text me her address to my phone (586-206-7731), I would love to send her a card to show my appreciation! Thank you in advance!“

“We LOVED the food, the atmosphere and the friendly staff. The chicken and dumplings were AMAZING! We will definitely be going back every week.“

“I have been regularly working out of RB on Nolensville Road. My absolute favorite coffee shop. The music isn’t always blaring, and the staff are always very friendly. The food is also really good. I’m happy to have this coffee shop so close to home.“

“Three of us enjoyed lunch at Edit today. The burger was just delicious! The bowl was a great mixture of foods that tasted wonderful together. We will be back!! Try this place, Hendersonville diners! You won’t be sorry!“

“Eating in the food court and ordered two sandwiches — pyramid club one with rice the other with fries. Everything was fresh along with two sodas with free refills. The meal was very tasty. Nice temperature for the food served. Service was wonderful…no waiting even gave us samples before we ordered. A very pleasant experience.“

“My favorite coffee in Nashville. Friendly staff and the best lattes“

“I’m officially obsessed. Matcha and bananas in coffee is a game changer—smooth, slightly sweet, energizing, and so comforting. LaLaLand does it so right. The matcha with a matcha cloud is next level: creamy, balanced, and not bitter at all.

Pro tip: always add cinnamon. It elevates the whole drink and gives it that warm, spiced finish that makes every sip feel intentional.

If you love coffee but want something fun, nourishing, and a little different, this combo is it. I keep coming back—and I’m not mad about it at all. ☕️🍵🍌✨ loveYALLLLL“

“By far, this place is my favorite cafe. They have great coffee, books to read, a pool table, so many tables and couches to sit on. I can truly come here and hang out for hours. The service was also great and their lattes taste amazing. Parking is difficult to find.“

“Great food! Cannot stop thinking about meatloaf, green beans! Everything was perfect!“

“A small cafe that provides a quick bite to eat and a variety of drinks. Conveniently located in the country music Hall of Fame lobby. The lobby provides a great environment to enjoy your snack or lunch. Friendly service. Prices are a bit high yet it is what you would expect at being the the only eateier conveniently located in the lobby.“

“Loved this place a boy named Jaylen waited on us!! We loved him!!“
