50 Best Coffee Shops in Nashville

“great drinks, great staff, great bar.“

“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.“

“Delicious, filling breakfast bowl! Large portions, excellent flavors. Highly recommend. Wish I was staying longer to try the Reuben!“

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

“Fantastic staff. wonderful coffee. Best place to grab an expresso on hotel row.“

“Food is amazing. The tortillas are homemade, the tacos are to die for, the potatoes are cooked perfectly. I love their dirty horchata and honestly all of their coffee drinks. The staff members are friendly and helpful. The food comes out fast. You really couldn’t ask for more.“

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

“Amazing vibes! Clean and neat!“

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

“Last Sunday me and my bf took a weekend trip to Nashville and one of the things on our itinerary was to get some good matcha. We found this coffee shop through tik tok and we wanted to give it a try ,so we made our way there not knowing they were closed. When we got to the door, we realized they weren’t open and proceeded to turn around. At the last second a man opened the door and invited us in. He told us that they close at 4 on Sundays but that he had some extra matcha from an event they catered earlier and if we wanted some, ON THE HOUSE!! It was genuinely one of the sweetest interactions I’ve had in a long time and he truly embodied the essence of what southern hospitality looks and feels like. He did not have to do that. He could have turned us away and instead took the time out of his day to offer us drinks (for free!!) and invited us to use the Photo Booth as well. The matcha was A1!! It was my bfs first time trying it and he loved it!! If I could give this place a 100/10 I would. Aesthetically pleasing and great energy from the staff. I will be stopping at this coffee shop every time I’m in town from now on. <3“

“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 pho and banh mi in Nashville!“

“Our favorite bagels & coffee in Nashville!“

“That blueberry Cream what can t say - Delicious and Great“

“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.“

“We absolutely LOVED Verna. In the old Cafe Coco space, Verna feels so much more cozy and cool. We went during happy hour on a Friday night - we expected to stop by for one drink, but had such a good time we stayed for dinner and more drinks!

The food was a standout - crab rangoon melt (delicious and shockingly light), curry fries, and the crawfish pastry.

We had spritzes and martinis and they were all wonderful. Love the drink menu - the amaro emphasis is thoughtful and unique.

Awesome playlist and the bartender was phenomenal.

. We can't wait to be back!“

“This is our absolute favorite place to visit when in Nashville. Our server, Destiny, is the best! Being from Eastern Europe, it just adds to the ambience of the experience. As soon as you walk into the door you are transported to Europe. The smells engulf you, as you walk by the most amazing dessert display. Do NOT pass up dessert! They have the most extensive coffee menu I have ever seen. If you’re looking for hair of the dog, you can add alcohol! We have never had anything bad here, every bite is divine! I highly recommend the Mexican hot chocolate, the avocado toast, and the rosemary potatoes (we dream of these).“

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

“☕ Crema is definitely one of the best coffee shops in Nashville

☕ Friendly baristas and staff

☕ Always clean and FREE 1 hour parking which is rare these days!

☕ 10/10 recommend the avocado toast- it’s perfect and the hint of lemon really makes it fresh for the summer!“

“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.“

“Delicious and worth every penny!!“

“Great coffee with coffee ice cubes! Delicious. Staff is always super friendly.“

“Been putting off this post so I wouldn’t have to wait in line but EN Cream n Bean has thee best brownie sundaes!! They’re huge and always delicious. This is the C&B’s Chocolate Best with Oreos instead of nuts. This place is a summer staple for sure. Go check them out!!“

“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.“

“I have been coming to crieve hall for a few years. The food quality is great. I hope that they get more comfortable having two locations. The customer service is usually great but yesterday there was an instance where I ordered the orange dream doppio and had asked if they could make it hot and even mentioned knowing it had cold foam and some places didn’t like putting that on hot drinks. Well instead of asking enough questions, I got served a plain hot doppio and when I asked if it had cold foam the barista lied to my face and said yes. Then I mentioned that I’m a barista and I know what a doppio looks like and at that point he admitted there was no cold foam. Right before that, I heard another family say that their to go order drinks were made incorrectly too but they chose not to say something. Then my bagel didn’t have the proper ingredients either.“

“Creamiest and most flavorful ice cream in America“

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

“We got a dozen of donuts as well as a breakfast sandwich. Everything and I do mean every last thing we got was delicious 😋 Happy we found our Donut spot for Nashville trips!!“

“I lived in Donelson in the 1990s and made frequent trips to Canada. But I never imagined decades later that my favorite Canadian coffee-shop chain would open an outlet in the heart of Donelson! From the mid-1970s to the summer of 2023, this property hosted a deplorable Krystal, a Nashville expansion project from a Chattanooga-based chain in which I had no interest. But on July 19, 2025, Tim Hortons debuted the state of Tennessee's first location here, converting the old Krystal building from an irrelevant and dated restaurant to a bright and shiny destination for Tim Hortons fans! And now, I can get my Canadian donut fix anytime I want!

Being Tennessee's first isn't the store's only accolade. It's the only Tim Hortons within the Nashville city limits, one of four in the Nashville metro all lying in close proximity in the eastern suburbs. And greatest of all, it's the only Tim Hortons in the first 1,648 miles (70%) of eastbound Highway 70, one of America's longest roads connecting Arizona to the Atlantic Ocean. That makes it the westernmost Tim Hortons on all of Highway 70!

And naturally, the Canadian maple donut is stupendous at this location. All the donuts are delicious, and the service is pretty good (depending on which employees are working). The door handles have hockey sticks, and the signpost out front is topped with a Canadian maple leaf. A mural inside pays tribute to one of the greatest NHL players who founded the company, the late Tim Horton (1930-1974). We're blessed to have Canada's largest fast-food franchise and the world's 25th largest with 6,000+ worldwide locations! It's a nice alternative to the other donut shop chains.“

“This is my favorite coffee place in Nashville! The seasonal drinks never disappoint, and I shave great conversations every time I go in! Omg, Trey, are you single?“

“amazing pastries made from scratch“

“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.“

“Purchased a ginger green smoothie im doing a detox. Worth every penny I set it on my desk for everyone to see that I made an investment on my health. Lol the straw is loud when you move it up amd down so I made sure every one in the office knew I had a smoothie cause it's 2026 you have to detox for your health.“

“We had a 15 month old and a 5 year old as well as 3 adults. Nat, Colton and Carneshia were so Great to work so hard to get us seated. The food was awesome and the service was top of the line. So folks go see Big Bad Breakfast Nashville ?????“

“My fiancé and I are from Athens, AL and we love stopping by the Catio every time we visit Nashville. It’s always a nice start to our trip. Very friendly staff and very adorable kitties ❤️“

“Stopped in and grabbed something with the chorizo and it was really solid. Great flavor, everything felt fresh, and it actually stood out compared to a lot of other breakfast spots. Coffee was on point too and the whole place just has a good feel to it. Definitely coming back.“

“This shop is absolutely adorable and a hidden gem. I've stayed in the Opryland area several times while visiting and discovered this shop during my recent visit. The person working was friendly and my vanilla latte was one of the best I've had. They sell unique souvenirs and decor is country music nostalgia.“

“This is a fantastic Faith Based organization! If you are ever in Nashville, you should drop by and have breakfast or lunch there!“

“This is an incredible spot to get some serious work or studying done! The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful, and there is plenty of space and seating to spread out without feeling cramped. On top of the great study environment, the service here is excellent. The unique pay-what-you-want donation system and the overall community mission make it an even more special place to support. Highly recommend if you need a productive workspace with great vibes!“

“Also the best barista. Lauren was so friendly and smiling on this February morning. What a nice person.“

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

“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“

“Had a large white mocha, which was great. Service was quick and friendly. Very nice atmosphere.“

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

“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!“

“The best tasting boba I've had! Love that they come up with new flavor combinations and that they are very environmentally conscious. Friendly staff. Worth it!“

“a must do when in nashville! you will not be disappointed . the absolute freshest most delicious food ever! everything we ordered was tremendously delicious! service was spot on! and the plant room divider and Decor was so inviting, relaxing and friendly. a thousand stars buttermilk ranch!“

“I have been regularly working out of RB on Nolensville Road. My absolute favorite coffee shop. The music isn’t always blaring, and the staff are always very friendly. The food is also really good. I’m happy to have this coffee shop so close to home.“
