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!“

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

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

“This place strikes a great balance between quality and comfort. You can tell there’s a real passion for coffee here, but the atmosphere never feels overly serious or intimidating. The staff were fantastic—friendly, attentive, and genuinely knowledgeable. They were happy to answer questions, offer suggestions, and help choose the right drink without ever making the interaction feel scripted. The whole experience felt natural, welcoming, and enjoyable.“

“Amazing vibes! Clean and neat!“

“Tempo might be my favorite place in town. The food is outrageously good for the prices, the coffee is the best in town, and everyone who works there is so friendly and chill. I eat here nearly every weekend and daydream about it the rest of the week. Just the best.“

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

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

“Best pho and banh mi in Nashville!“

“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“

“Our favorite bagels & coffee in Nashville!“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“Creamiest and most flavorful ice cream in America“

“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).“

“What a gem! The avocado toast was to die for - one of the best I've had anywhere. Ice latte was also delicious. Free parking was also nice. Visited on a late Sunday morning and it was crowded, be prepared to wait 15-20 minutes but absolutely worth it. Can't wait to go back when I'm back in Nashville!“

“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.“

“When we entered Stompin' Grounds for our Father's Day brunch we were greeted by Ha and let me tell you...that was the most energetic and happy greeting I have ever received at a restaurant and the whole party agreed!! Ha was fantastic, not just greeting us, but throughout the rest of the meal and our time at the restaurant! She was constantly coming around to make us smile, but not in an annoying way...she did it so well that we felt special and well taken care of and she really made the morning special. Not only was she funny and energetic, but she was also extremely heartfelt and sincere! Again, something I have never experienced before at a restaurant! The food and service were also incredible!! We will absolutely be back and can't wait! Thank you Ha for such a surprisingly wonderful Father's Day!!“

“fabulous smoothies and the perfect healthy break from fried food and beers. good enough coffee but not the best. nice staff and clean inside. i would go for the smoothies primarily. you can order to go. not the nicest to stay and drink, more of a grab and go. all smoothies look great - take time to go through them all.“

“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.“

“RJ is tremendous! He helped me get the best value for the different items I was ordering- and was very kind and patient while we sorted it out. He always greets me in the morning with a big smile - it's one of the best ways to start my day!“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“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 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 ?????“

“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.“

“Solid local spot with friendly staff...reasonably priced menu as well! Skip Starbucks and overpriced corporate chains and drop by here if you have a chance. Also, they are a museum of local country music memorabilia that's a stop to see in itself :)“

“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 ❤️“

“THE ELEGY BURRITO- incredible. I eat it several times a week. The service can be a little cold, like you’re bothering them. But sometimes they’re really sweet! The coffee is pretty good, but I’ll usually get coffee elsewhere and the elegy burrito there. I just like a real strong, slightly sweet option straight off the menu generally. Love!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Hands down the best taco I’ve ever had the, #7 with brisket was unbelievably GOOD. We Will be back every trip we make to B’ham! Also, it’s really priced reasonable too!“

“Very fast Nashville shipping and my favorite roast in town. I get their blue bags by the 4-5lbs its super consistent and worth the money.“

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

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

“This was a little lunch shop at the main floor of the office we were in. The service was very fast and delivered to our table. I got a chicken sandwich and fries and the fries were hot and nicely seasoned. The chicken was not overdone and hot as well. I'd eat here often if I worked out of this building more.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“
