I HAD to take a photo of this beautiful Matcha Latte benefiting NILC! I come here at least once a week to read, study, and just breathe. The team is always so pleasant. Their High Garden Breakfast Tea is brewed perfectly (the best substitute for a cup of black coffee), their signature latte is also unique and delicious. And I love their bagels too! And the lox and capers cream cheese.
The music is also spot on and the right volume. I hope this place stays open for a long time! The only thing I would improve is making the bench seating a little more comfortable (some of them just seem a little short and I slide off).

Great little local coffee shop, super nice atmosphere with pretty easy parking. Outstanding service. Comfortable space with room to get work done. Stop going to Starbucks and start spending your time and money at places like this! Great addition to the neighborhood.

I wanted somewhere with good coffee and food options to sit at while I got some work done, and this was perfect! The bagel sandwiches are such a win, my iced vanilla latte was perfect, and the atmosphere is chill with relaxing (but not boring) music. Couldn’t ask for more.

I wish I could give it less than a one. This place does not accept American dollars. Cold hard cash. It goes against Tennessee law. I even looked it up. Crazy!!!!

The coffee was great and Grace the barista was even better. To prove both I have attached a picture. I grabbed a Starbucks cup then went to Retrograde and got a coffee. Poured their coffee in the Starbucks cup to convince my mom we(Nashville) had the best Starbucks in the country. She tasted Retrograde coffee in her Starbucks cup and knew it wasn’t Starbucks because of her 40 years of loyalty but said Retrograde was the best coffee she has had and if she lived in the city she would not go anywhere else. To pull this off Grace topped off the largest Starbucks cup to the brim to make it actually look like Starbucks.
Thank you Grace and thank you Retrograde. THE BEST

Stopped by in the middle of a 1200 mile road trip- an iced shagbark latte and a turkey pesto sandwich were exactly what I needed to pick me up. The service was extremely kind and quick, and the cafe itself is clean, welcoming, and comfortable. I will be making an effort to stop back here on any future road trip.

Retrograde is quickly becoming one of my favorite coffee shops.
To start, parking is refreshingly easy and plentiful, especially compared to other coffee shops in the area.
The interior features ample seating, large windows, and a calming atmosphere that is perfect for focused work.
A creature of habit, I have only tried one of their drinks thus far, but the Kavlatte has not disappointed me each time I've ordered it. Bonus points for the option to get your drink in either a to-go cup or a glass if you're sticking around!
The true standout aspect of each of my experiences at Retrograde has been the delightful staff. Truly leagues more friendly and personable than any other coffee shop I've frequented. Everyone I have interacted with has been incredibly welcoming and kind.
I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone, whether they are grabbing a coffee for the road, or planning to sit down and work or catch up with friends!

We loved Retrograde!! Staff were very friendly and helpful with recommendations! We recommend the avocado bagel and the bacon egg and cheese bagel!
