Dear Dawn Cafe,I hope this email finds you well. our visit to the establishment was marred by an unfortunate incident of discrimination, which left a lasting impression on us.Despite the challenges we faced during our visit, it is important for us to share our experience in a fair and objective manner. Your honest review of the service and overall atmosphere of the place will not only help us in reflecting on our own experience but also in providing valuable feedback to the management of the establishment.Best regards,

Nice location, decent food, but man the service was rough. The lady that took the order could not look happier. Maybe she had a bad morning, but she definitely pushed that negative vibe out to how she serves.

This is such a cute coffee shop. Nice array of coffees, some with liquor. It's very bright with huge windows. It's very chill and I saw many people working on their laptops. There's an outdoors sitting area to enjoy the weather. They have a station for sparkling or flat water (which is a nice option) the market has candles and a really nice lotion for sell. As we sipped our coffee we played a card game, but had the option of checkers, tic tic toe, and cards against humanity. It's fairly close to many hotels and on a sunny day iit's what the doctor ordered.

Food wasn’t very good or healthy. Out of the quiche, out of oats, bananas on display needed to be retired. Atmosphere and coffee but not much else. Breakfast sandwich was white bread, greasy, fake meat, fake cheese etc.

Like many people have said already, the aesthetics and atmosphere of this coffee shop are absolutely on-point. Light and airy, comforting color scheme, great variety of plants and books that make it comfy and somehow lived-in. Even the outdoor seating is great, pathways are well-kept, and I can easily see myself coming here to study or write.The coffee was fine, although I am admittedly not a coffee snob so I can't adequately comment on that. Unfortunately the thing I was looking forward to trying the most, the food, was unavailable. Half the menu was out of stock when I came by, which was definitely disappointing. What I did end up getting (the tots and breakfast sandwich), were perfectly serviceable but pretty basic.Hopefully next time I visit they will have more food items available!

I have a series on my social media accounts where I find the best coffee in Nashville, and this is def at the TOP of my list!!! From the friendly staff, delicious yet fun coffee flavors, quality food, and best of all... the cutest aesthetic ever, this is a hidden gem!!This will be my new go to coffee spot!

Loooove this place so so much!! My only complaint is that you have to pay for parking - however, that’s just the way it goes in downtown Nashville. The aesthetic is honestly flawless (think birthdays, bachelorettes, date nights, and studying!) and the wifi is good too. You have the option of sitting indoors or outdoors which is nice and there’s a perfect breeze either way.I recommend their tropical smoothie and their cinnamon roll!

Clean and organic space with shaded outdoor seating which was a great bonus. Had an oat milk cappuccino with honey to go and it was fantastic!

There unfortunately wasn’t much that made this coffee shop good in my experience. The cappuccino I had was not good. The staff just kinda stared at us when we walked in and I didn’t feel very welcome. The only aspect that gave it a decent rating for me is if you want a nice aesthetic of a restaurant to study in and have some so-so coffee then this place is probably good for you. Was not the best experience and I’d look elsewhere if you’re finding good coffee in downtown Nashville.
