Good vibes, great music, sublime spicy chickpea burger! I want to visit again before I go, and that’s saying a lot for being in Nashville for just a few days’s visit. Don’t miss this little gem- stop for a London Fog and a muffin after your must tour of the Ryman Auditorium. You’ll be glad you did!

So good we visited twice during our stay Located at the entrance to the Ryman it’s a refreshing change from venue cafes Excellent food and very good coffee too

Latte was good, chips ok but had the worst burger I've had in a long time. Over cooked and not much flavor. Eat somewhere else

It is a very nice little bar, cafe that is run by the theater.

Kale salad was delicious. Half size is plenty for moderate appetites at lunch. Chocolate chip cookies were fresh and tasty.

This was a cool little cafe. Friendly staff and good prices. Grab a beer or coffee and enjoy a light lunch.

We almost always grab a light meal at Cafe Lula when we go to a show at the Ryman. It's a small venue, so seating may be tight, but service is fast, the food is tasty and they have wine, beer and cocktails. You can also check the waiting line to get in from the Cafe.

Awesome lunch spot with salads, sandwiches (try the hot chicken salad sandwich), soup, appetizers, grade sides, desserts and a great hot tea selection! Good prices, delicious food, and friendly staff!
This is a decent place to drop in before a show. The service was good as I sat at the bar. The drink selections are pretty limited, but it is a cafe and not a full blown bar or restaurant. They have a couple local beers on hand. The prices aren't crazy. Just have the mindset of this place being more convenient than anything. The will also tell you their drinks are cheaper than inside the Ryman. They are correct.

Wife and i went before the Jill Scott concert. We parked and decided because it was so convenient that we would try before concert dinner. I ordered the steak sandwich it came with some type of chips and she ordered the Nashville Hot chicken salad we both had a Michelob Ultra. Ok here goes that so called meal is a freaking joke. The child sized steak sandwich was tasteless and should have been called a steak stip sandwich and whomever thought those cold chips are a replacement for fries should be fired. The beer was hot. I dont want to even look at this place on my way to the Ryman again. I paid 42.00 for so called cafeteria food it that. If you look at my previous reviews i tell the truth and this place is awful. Patrons should be paid to eat there

Fabulous. Great coffee and espresso drinks, plus snacks, lunch and dinner menu. Clean, friendly and quick. Perfect to grab a decent bite downtown anytime, or certainly before your show at the Ryman.

The sandwiches are pretty flavorless. You'll need ample salt and pepper to make them palatable. The exception was an overabundance of hot mustard on the hamburger, though it also came with a hard, cold bun. The patty had an off flavor. The chips are homemade but overcooked. The prices are pretty much in line with touristy places.

We were pressed for time so ate here since it was at the venue. Pretty expensive for what we got and not the best food.
