Coffee is pretty bad and overpriced

I tried to make this my go-to place. But the price vs experience balance is not great. The coffee is good and expensive. The service is often slow, there are usually part of the coffee menu that are not available (especially pour overs), and the kitchen is not predictably open. The overall feeling is that customers should feel lucky to be served.

Worker was very unfriendly and rude. They also don’t have anything small for dogs. Other coffee options in Germantown. I would go to those places.

Cool place, but they have to know that opening the garage doors when its below 50 is insane. Everyone is cold?? Are you trying to get people to leave?

From the time you order your coffee it takes them forever to actually make it. And it wasn’t that busy. Unfortunately it seems the barista moves in slow motion.

The coffee is good, BUT it literally takes 40 minutes to get two lattes. It's not worth it.

This is a beautifully designed space with the largest garage door you've ever seen for nice-weather lounging. It's thoughtfully designed for people who want to come for a coffee with a friend or a work session. They've thought of every detail, and I particularly appreciate (as an architect) that even the mechanicals and the conduit layout is beautiful. The cups have custom artwork, the tables have custom engravings. It's just nice.
Aside from that, there were some downsides. There was only one person working when we went and it was throttling how many people could be served -- it took us about 15 minutes to get through the line and another 10 to get served.
The coffee was great, the food was nothing to write home about but satisfying. We were happy with the food options of various light, hot breakfasts.
Overall: wonderful. I would say if you're looking for working vibes or want a relaxed breakfast with a friend, this is a great choice. Just me aware that it may not be quick, even though the aesthetic makes it seem like it ought to be.
Cashier couldn’t hear or understand much of what I was saying . They were unable to serve breakfast due to “ not making anything yet “. (It was past 10am) Disappointing, was really looking forward to a vegan breakfast here . The only non dairy milk offered was oat milk ( high carb ) . I ended up getting a matcha with oat milk , It was ok but nothing to rave about . Service was meh . Line was very long upon arrival . Would only return if nothing else was open .

Best chai lattes here — seriously spiced and love the atmosphere of the place! The negative is they charge for sweetener (chai comes unsweetened) and the place is PERPETUALLY understaffed by at least two people. There needs to be someone on the register while the others focus on coffee and running. I’ve never seen such laid-back lack of hustle (and no shade to the individuals they are friendly) but had to wait 45 mins for one coffee.

Pretentious place, Americano was weak as hell. Coffee in a box, in another box, in a bag; too much dazzle and not enough fizz.

The banana bread at Barista Parlor was moist and comforting.

Honestly one of the few coffee spots in Nashville that doesn’t feel like it’s trying too hard. The space is clean but not sterile, and the music was actually good (not just lofi beats or random jazz). I got a bourbon vanilla latte and a sausage biscuit… both hit. Prices are a little high but it’s worth it for the vibe and the quality.
Sat at the counter for a while to do some email stuff, and no one rushed me out. Staff was nice but chill, like they don’t fake-smile at you which I actually prefer lol. Easy 5 stars.
