Honestly not one to ever complain but went in this morning and waited 25 min for two coffees. They did not have any drink orders ahead of us and when we went in to ask they didn’t even know what drinks we had. Once we received our drinks they were cold. The girl working was extremely rude and it’s sad to say I will never come back here. I love to buy local but the service here can ruin a morning.

They put my food on someone else’s table. I had to tell them twice that was what I ordered. They did not offer to remake it. Just said “sorry” and casually set it beside me, not even in front of me at that bar. I’m pretty sure this is not good restaurant etiquette. They make good food but how is it worth being served what they already served to someone else???

Great music, awesome food and excellent service. The pictures on the walls are funny and the atmosphere is good. We will definitely be back next time we are in town.

This place should not go missed! We live in the heart of Inglewood, and we hate that we have drove past this great spot for the first few months that they have been opened!

This place should not go missed! We live in the heart of Inglewood, and we hate that we have drove past this great spot for the first few months that they have been opened! My partner and I wanted to check out somewhere new for lunch and this popped up as a new and close spot. And we are so glad we found it!! Not only is the vibe and feel of the space welcoming and inviting, the big windows in the back and all the potted plants labeled with their respective names. But the food and coffee did not disappoint! She got the super avocado toast, to which she said "this is everything I didn't know I wanted with avocado toast." And I got the super hearty and delicious Cuban. We both got the dirty Horchata to drink which was incredible (and also vegan friendly). This place should not be missed in the Porter Road shopping area!

Great coffee, food and people. Everyone was super friendly, and open to having a good conversation. Loved the vibe and space. Got the Super Avocado Toast, Vanilla Apricot Scone, a Dirty Horchata, and loved everything. Definitely a cute, underrated place that I will return to time and time again.

Good food and friendly service! Nice variety of baked goods from multiple vendors. The Salted Caramel doughnut from Conny and Jonny was delicious.

My new favorite place on the east side for a coffee date with myself.

I love The Loading Dock at Fort Houston, but it took me awhile to check this location out. First time i went I had the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. The coffee is great and and so is the vibe. Second time I had the Super Avocado Toast - perfect balance of hummus, tomatoes, greens and flavorful avocados with a sweet balsamic drizzled on top. Great addition to the neighborhood!

A small but very friendly stop for well priced quality food and coffee. The super avocado toast was my choice and it did not disappoint. Two slices of wheat bread with a hummus base, avocado, tomatoes and greens with a balsamic drizzle. I added an egg and it was delicious. The place is small but there are a few seats inside. Easy to miss as you are driving by but well worth the stop.
The biscuits were so bad, and for a restaurant in the south this is a big deal. They were stale, hard and small. So disappointing. The sausage gravy was also too intense.

Try the cold brew... delicious. Awesome new spot! Friendly ppl behind the counter, and even better coffee. Beans brewed in Nashville!!!

Super cute spot to hang and nosh with excellent service and even more excellent food. I had the Cuban sandwich and a Dirty Iced Horchata. Both were scrumptious and reasonably-priced for East Nashville! They sell goods and stuff and things by local Nashville artists, so I picked up a cute little plant which was already named. I can't tell you the plant's name because the plant asked to remain anonymous for this review (something about the Plant Protection Program). I saw some other peeps in there working diligently on their laptops and enjoying a cold brew and they looked pretty cool and happy so I'll take that as a good sign. Parking was a breeze and I popped into a few of the other shoppes that were in this cozy little strip called Porter East. I'll definitely be back to the Loading Dock East AND I wanna check out their other location at Wedgewood-Houston!

YUM! We will be back! We had the peach fritter, The Rise and Shine and the TLD, which is a bbq benedict over a biscuit that let's off an amazing flavor explosion in your mouth. Coffee was good as well and they offer dairy free creamer options.
