49 Best Cafes near Madison

“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!“

“This cafe is the best in town. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Mary and Tasha are so great; they truly make the experience a fabulous one! I will definitely go out of my way to get coffee there again. Don’t waste your time and money with other coffee shops!“

“I always enjoy coming here or brining friends when they visit. The food is great and the everyone working has always been so nice. The chef inspired foods allow your taste buds to go wild with happiness. There may be a wait on the weekends, however for the quality it is worth it.“

“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.“

“the espresso drinks we're beautifully crafted and delicious. and whipped up with speed!“

“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.

Parking: free parking for the first hour in the garage next to the shop“

“Such fantastic and friendly service. Everything is delicious“

“Great atmosphere, great food and board games. What’s not to love??“

“Best Mexican food I have ever tasted.“

“LOVED this spot. Worth the wait, you feel welcome by being able to order a drink to enjoy while you wait!! Then once you step inside and get seated, you feel cozy and ready to enjoy brunch, right next to someone else! The family size table concept is a vibe. Highly recommend!“

“The staff sets this stunning hotel apart with 5 star service. Hope was just wonderful and made our vacation extra special. All the gentlemen at the door was so very pleasant with a smile every time we approached them. We don't splurge often on luxury but we're glad we did it here! Thank you, Hermitage staff!“

“Fantastic high quality chai and lattes!“

“Went this morning around 10:30 am on a Saturday. I knew there would be a wait. As a single diner, my wait was roughly 25 minutes. Jessica was my waitress and she was amazing. I ordered Keke's Combo which was 2 pancakes and 2 sides (you choose one item in 2 different lists). I paid an extra $3 to get my pancakes as "Banana Caramel Pecan." Also got sausage links and Home Fries for my two sides. The pancakes were huge. The $3 upgrade for the Banana Caramel Pecan was worth it. I will say that they definitely do not give near enough butter. But since I got fancy sweet pancakes, I didn't need more butter. The home fries were pan fried red skinned potatoes. They were awesome. I love potatoes prepared this way. It was also a healthy portion. There were 4 sausage links included in the order which I feel is a good portion. I feel most places only give you 2 links. My tip is if you are going with a party of 3 or more, expect a longer wait especially if you go at prime brunch times. The kitchen was still getting their rhythm so it took a little time to get the food. They just opened 8 days ago, so I totally understand that. If you get pancakes, just request the extra butter from the get go. I fully enjoyed the experience and there is so much on that menu I want to try. I will 100% be back.“

“The smoothies are amazing“

“Great food and atmosphere. Only restaurant where I’ve heard music by Sinatra, Patsy Cline and the Stones. Very cool 😎“

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

“excellent service. delicious coffee“

“Great breakfast. I would recommend this restaurant.“

“I came from Boston to Visit Nashville for the first time . And I came here for breakfast 🥞 This is my new favorite spot ! I recommend it to everyone if you ever come to Nashville! They are welcoming and their breakfast is delicious wow !! Will deff come back when I visit again!“

“The food and servers are excellent. Wait time is minimal at the Tanger Outlet location.“

“The chef was very creative with our choices in food courses. Jan, our waiter was very professional and attentive in our requests. He acknowledged our quiet birthday celebration with our son and was very respectful of our time as a family without being intrusive. The staff, creations from the sous & pastry chef were truly amazing.“

“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“

“We had a great meal this morning. Patrick went above and beyond as he was so kind, personable, and spot on with his recommendations. Completely recommend I had a great GF breakfast with omelet, pancakes (stolen from my husband’s plate), sausage, and fresh fruit bowl.“

“Went in for the buy one, get one deal. The bacon on the BLT is so good! Great Cuban coffee & the service was stellar! We will be back!“

“Got the traditional style burger and it was delicious 🤤. I wished I had this cafe where I lived, I would be eating there every week and I’m not even vegan!“

“Great selection from the kitchen, and the Bourbon Latte was incredible. Large serving sizes, breakfast burrito was filled with several eggs and the breakfast potatoes were soft but crispy. Small tables at the cafe but there were comfortable sitting areas in the hotel lobby“

“Beautiful coffee in also amazing location! There are free books to read and consult and the staff is great and kind. Service very very fast and prices normal. Seat available for work in the central of the ambient with sockets for about 10 people, also there are comfortable arm chairs. Awesome place outside!“

“loveeed this place, especially thanks to Jemeli's help!!! she recommended drinks off the seasonal menu, explained the in-house pastry chef's background, and brought drinks out to us at our table. so fun chatting with her and we loved the overall vibe of the place - calm, tasteful, feminine-leaning. so great, coming back tomorrow!

Wheelchair accessibility: Huge automatic doors and the coffee shop is right inside, no stairs. Can put your wheelchair around any of the small separate seating areas, it's pretty open“

“Amazing vibes! Clean and neat!“

“Loved it!!“

“My husband and I went to Café Intermezzo for the first time yesterday for Valentine’s Day, and I may have found my new favorite spot in Nashville!“

“I had a Dr. appointment at St. Thomas Midtown. I hadn't had the chance to eat yet. I stopped in at The Fainting Goat Cafe, and I am so happy I did 😊. The food was fresh and delicious, but it was the pleasant employees that drew me in. I cant wait to try more of their delicious food. Please go by there and try it out. You won't be disappointed.“

“Плов , куриный шашлык , чай !!!!!“

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

“this gelato CHANGED MY LIFE. like oh. my. gosh. it is SO GOOD. at least the toffee crunch flavor is. that's the only flavor I've gotten, bc why would I choose another one. that would be like if you had the choice to choose infinity dollars, or choose a mystery amount that could be anywhere between zero and a trillion dollars. a trillion bucks would be pretty dang good, but not infinity good. and there's a chance you could give up infinity for zero too. if you want all your wildest dreams to come true, choose toffee crunch♾️ don't settle for anything less.

“The biscuit and gravy breakfast was excellent. They also make an awesome Bloody Mary!“

“Had a family brunch on Sunday, overall very nice & enjoyable. Whipped Feta was amazing. I had the Lamb Biscuits & Gravy which was not that great... the lamb was good but the biscuits were stale and the fried egg on top was still raw when served.... I mean I like a good runny yoke but when the egg white is still clear, it's not cooked enough. I asked that it be put under a broiler for like 30 seconds to cook the egg white, it came back 10min later with a hard cooked egg. I would return but select something different from the menu.“

“This review is for persons considering this space for large special events. During the time I stayed at the Gaylord, I saw a few special events be held at this cafe.First of all, it's a gorgeous space. During the day, it's a cafe for quick eats. If an event is being held, they start blocking off areas early.Secondly, the fountain transforms into a dance floor. Talk about cool. It's also more floor space for those who want a sit down affair.As a guest, I was impressed by the space and the food served. And the waitstaff is on it.“

“A favorite of ours for years & our annual go-to restaurant for an always delicious Valentine’s Day lunch! Great atmosphere, friendly servers & the Plum Pork entree, fried bacon/brussel sprouts, French onion soup & key lime pie are to die for!“

“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.“

“AMAZING food,atmosphere and service!! 10 stars!!!“

“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!“

“Great Food, Friendly people. Tons of options. I had Catfish, greens, okra and white beans. Everything I had was seasoned and cooked perfectly.“

“just tried Bongo Java at BNA. I had a blueberry muffin and an iced coffee (can't remember the name, but it was the chocolate caramel mocha with an added shot of vanilla, as per the employee's suggestion). the coffee was very good. one of the best I've had in a while. great customer service, as well! great start to my early travel day :)“

“First visit today and found a new favorite place to eat!!! Had the Cinnamon Roll Pancake and home fries eggs and bacon. Delicious food and friendly staff! Thank you!!“
