50 Best Coffee Shops in Nashville

“Amazing vibes! Clean and neat!“

“great drinks, great staff, great bar.“

“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“

“Best south of town coffee, cute af and perfect for a outdoor picnic.“

“Go check it out! Awesome coffee and more.“

“Celebrating anniversary number 41. With burrito and myan mocha!“

“As if the White Chocolate Vanilla Frappe wasn't enough, the atmosphere is pretty awesome and actually reminds me of my days in Seattle. A plethora of choices await you from the drinks to the pastries and the entrees, which I'm looking forward to trying. To top it all off, Keith is about as mellow and nice a person as can be, which makes going there an even more pleasurable experience. Take the time to get out to Donelson and find this gem, you will NOT regret it.“

“Do you need impromptu engagement photos? The lighting in the Forevermore Photo Booth is IMMACULATE!

Also the drinks, service and vibes are wonderful. This is one of our favorite coffee spots and now has a special place in our engagement story!

Everything 5 stars!“

“Very nice! Kinda has a coffee shop feel. Food is excellent, and authentic! Added bonus is the live performances that happen there! Stage is a cozy size! I look forward to performing there! The owners are awesome! Will be 1 of our new spots to chill!“

“Love this place! The food is so good. I wished I lived closer to visit more often.“

“Crema was awesome! One of the best lattes I've had in a while, roast is super nice and not too sweet. Atmosphere was also super nice and, while I didn't have time during my visit, thought it was cool that they do coffee education in the back room!“

“Quaint music venue , Great place for incoming artists.“

“Visiting from Canada… thank you Chloe for making it extra special! 10/10“

“The inside of the coffee shop is great. Full of plants and nice people. Good food. Well crafted drinks.
A bit overpriced due to add ons: adding honey and almond milk to my 12oz matcha adds $3?! It would at least be less aggregious if I could get a 16oz drink there. A 12oz drink and a burrito always seems to end up being $27.

You can't really eat or drink inside. So if you eat at the establishment, you're now getting a Gallatin Pike and Trinity intersection experience. Regular near miss crashes. Heavy horn use. It's honestly more serene to eat in your car. You'd never even think to bring a laptop there and get some work done.

They would do well to add either bamboo planters, or at least a fence/shrubbery. Then additional shade would also be beneficial. Along with monthly powerwashing.“

“The coffee is so good. I love the classic espresso, I make cold coffee out of it and it is the best!“

“This store is amazing I went there twice and one thing I will say is they value their customers a lot !! I got a strawberry watermelon lemonade refresher and it was awesome, I also got some timbits and a donut that looks like a snowman and it was amazing, Dhara , she is a helpful person , Tarika was also great , she was new but did a great job at the register , the latte was also amazing . Definitely coming back !!! Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“amazing pastries made from scratch“

“I had been in before for just coffee, which is good here. Last time I also got a sandwich, and it was delicious. REALLY good sandwich, the bread and other ingredients all fresh and flavorful. And the for-here order is actually served as such (in an actual mug and on a real plate rather than fast food style paper cup and plates).“

“Delicious smoothie and wonderful customer service. Nice to find something fresh to eat as a generally plant based eater amidst the city center! Homemade milks and no added sugars, can’t beat it. Not a ton of seating during cold months, but picnic table style outside.“

“Stopped in after Brooklyn Bowl. Absolutely loved it! Frosé & Spicy Margarita were awesome! Will be back!“

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

“The coffee is smooth and delicious. I highly recommend the Brown Sugar Rosemary Cappuccino. I also love the calming atmosphere and their whole mission of helping the homeless.“

“We’re major coffee drinkers and have lived in New York, Seattle, and now Nashville, so our bar is pretty high. Crema absolutely lived up to the hype. The coffee was outstanding—easily some of the best we’ve had anywhere. Really well-balanced, flavorful, and clearly made with care.

The space is small and gets very busy, which was obvious when we visited. Service was fine—efficient and professional, though not especially warm. That said, given how packed it was, it’s understandable.

If you’re serious about coffee, this place is 100% worth a stop. We’ll definitely be back for the coffee alone.“

“We were visiting from WV over the weekend. We were in Nashville to see the Kill Tony show. When googling for coffee this place immediately caught my attention. I WISH I had a coffee shop like this where I live. I would never leave. Everyone seemed to know everyone that was local and they were so friendly with one another. My boyfriend got “The Eileen” and fell in love with cayenne in it! We would have NEVER thought to do that. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ would come back to Nashville just for this place“

“Fantastic high quality chai and lattes!“

“Celebrating anniversary number 41. With burrito and myan mocha!“

“Best pho and banh mi in Nashville!“

“Caught our attention while visiting Nashville and ended up being one of our favorite stops! Super cute place, crazy creativity and marketing. Great place to meet friends and hang out. Cereal??? I mean, ya…but so much more! Met the owner and she was so delightful as well. Can’t wait to see this catch on and be franchised. Every detail was just perfection!“

“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.“

“This coffee shop is an absolute hidden gem! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by a calm, quiet atmosphere that’s perfect for reading, studying, or just unwinding. What truly sets this place apart is their incredible drink menu — both the everyday creations and the seasonal specials are bursting with flavor and creativity. You can tell the baristas put real heart into every cup.

And the best part? It’s completely donation-based — you simply pay what you can or feel the experience is worth. That kind of community-first approach is rare and deeply appreciated. It’s more than just a coffee shop; it’s a space that invites kindness, comfort, and connection. Highly recommend!“

“Flora and Fauna is more than just a coffee shop; it's a gem in the heart of East Nashville. Walking in, you're immediately greeted by a service staff that makes you feel like family. The creativity in their drinks menu is a delightful surprise every visit, offering a perfect blend of classic and innovative choices. And let's talk about the pancakes – they are a must-try! Fluffy, flavorful, and simply irresistible, they're worth indulging in any day of the week. This place is a testament to what makes East Nashville's community so special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-notch brunch experience!“

“Such a cool place to stop for coffee!

I got a cold brew with cold foam and my husband got a hot macchiato. Good quality coffee!

The atmosphere was really cool -- they have live music every Saturday from 10a to noon, and also every Tues evening. I can't remember the time, but they also have Bible study during the week (Wednesday?).

The staff was very kind and the shop had awesome pictures and decorations.“

“I love this place! Been here quite a few times now and it's Great every time! Great place to come for that coffee shop vibe. Dining area and outside seating if you just want to sit and hang or chat with a mate, and wifi if you wanna jam on your laptop or phone. The breakfast menu is unique and tasty. They have some great drink options, highly recommend the Black bear and the Hoodie, the Seasonal Chaider is really good too for that Fall vibe in your drink. The team is always friendly and great and the drinks always top notch.“

“I went to White Bison Coffee in 1101 Long Hollow Pike, Gallatin, and entered the drive thru, nobody was there, then I went inside and the lady was not wearing her earset to take drive thru orders so she was never aware that I was in the window waiting to make my order. She refused to serve me a coffee. When I asked for coffee, she pointed to another coffee station and said, " There is coffee too." Referring to the regular gas station self served coffees. She had no name Tag, so I couldn't identify her name. But she she had blond hair and a leg casket. Terrible service. The coffee ia good, the team members need training.“

“Stopped by on our way through town and it was a nice breakfast. We ordered an everything and a blueberry both with vegan schmear and toppings - the vegan sausage was surprisingly delicious. The sea salt on top of the everything was a nice touch and the blueberry was excellent. The upcharge for non-dairy milk is to be expected but $1 felt a bit much. Good food though and if we're ever in Nashville again we'll probably stop back in. Not giving 5 stars just because environment was a bit strange - the back of house staff seemed to be having a fun time in the kitchen but the front of house seemed cold.“

“Amazing and courteous staff, great atmosphere, and delicious coffee. This is my favorite coffee shop in Nashville!“

“One of the BEST pumpkin spice lattes I’ve ever had! It was amazing! Will definitely return.“

“I love 8th and Roast. It’s my fave coffee shop in Nashville that I’ve discovered so far. I’m disappointed to discover Little Bear Latte was only a seasonal beverage because it’s the only drink I ever got there. I’m not a huge fan of the new seasonal drink. So I’m not sure what to drink there now. :( I love the cozy, relaxing atmosphere and they have a great loyalty card program. 8th and Roast is a must.“

“I went to visit before work. - Service was fast, personable and efficient. I spoke with the owner as he prepared my sage latte and warm apple danish. He has an extensive background in bartending. The coffee shop has another side that he made into a bar. So whether you need a AM pick me up or PM wine down- you are covered! Pure Genius. I’ll be going back to check out the PM vibes. I didn’t get a change to snag any pictures. Also, they have retail parking!“

“Service with a smile our care broke down as well in drive thru the came out and pushed us to a parking spot and tried their best to help us get it started definitely 5 🌟“

“Great atmosphere and friendly. The coffee is very good.“

“They have kitties of all sizes“

“Loved it!!“

“Love this place 🫶🏻location is nestled right in a cool quaint shopping district. Outdoor seating available too perfect for these warm Spring days“

“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.“

“excellent service. delicious coffee“

“Incredible food and probably the best service I’ve ever had. We stopped by on a trip from out of town and I already can’t wait to go back.“

“This is my favorite coffee shop in Nashville. All their pastries are SO INSANELY good. I made my mom bring me their cream cheese sugar cookie after I gave birth lol. It’s a small shop so sometimes it may be a little backed up but nothing crazy? If I ever move out of east Nashville this is the spot I’ll miss the most!“

“Always great music and food!“
