50 Best Cafes in Nashville

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Fantastic high quality chai and lattes!“

“Great breakfast. I would recommend this restaurant.“

“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.“

“The service was a little bit slow (and my drink never did get refilled) but the food was delicious and it was a fun vibe.“

“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.“

“LATTE w/ Oat milk was fabulous.
Kinda bummed that the person at the register did not ask or tell me that The Chosen One comes with sourdough unless otherwise request something else. Expectations would have been a bagel. Everyone did/didn’t do their part 🥺“

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

“Right when I walked in I knew it was going to be a great place. The owner(I think) was very friendly and you can tell he was happy to be there n passionate about his restaurant. That is something that is very refreshing to see bc its not to common in the restaurant business nowadays. Ultimately excellent little hole in the wall ethiopian coffee shop with great pastries. Their sambusa was easily the best ive had, packed with lentils and spice that just kept going making every bite packed with tons of flavor that you have to go back for. The coffee was really good as well especially for the price. Everything nowadays your paying at least 5$ for a small cup of coffee so it was refreshing seeing their prices. Will definitely be going back again for some cheap coffee.

“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“

“Awesome coffee !!! Thank you !!!“

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

“Best Mexican food I have ever tasted.“

“The smoothies are amazing“

“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.“

“I just ran across this place while pilfering around Nashville. I got a black guy with sugar-free vanilla and it is on point! one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had will be back for more!“

“This place is fabulous! The waitstaff, Matthew was very attentive. The food was ahhhmazing!!!“

“Great falafel at a mall food court?? Yes! Genuinely the best falafel I’ve ever had, wonderful hummus, and fresh tabouli. What a great surprise for our quick lunch

Vegetarian options: Falafel, salad, hummus

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

“excellent service. delicious coffee“

“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!“

“Quick, convenient and consistent! I love the sandwiches and the Bella Bleu salad is my favorite! Great prices and lovely staff.“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Amazing vibes! Clean and neat!“

“Loved it!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing Bakery with items you won't find elsewhere. Beautiful cakes, a dozen or more pastry items. The other food is also excellent, the burrito / quesadilla was delicious, see photo. There is a nice little outdoor seating area on the rear. The owners are very pleasant. I understood it to be Honduran food.“

“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.“

“The variety of food is amazing for the price. For people who are vegeterians should be considered because they are not only making vegeterians food for you and this is not vegterians place so dont expect too much, they have to make the variety of food for students. The value was great for the amount of money that you spent.“

“Best coffee shop in Nashville! Awesome vibes, delicious coffees and cocktails, and friendly staff. Plus, lots of outdoor seating to enjoy the weather! Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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.“
