50 Best Coffee Shops near Old Hickory

“Summit Sisters had the best coffee!!! Perfect as a gift but even better for yourself! Shop local for the best crafted coffee in Middle TN!!!“

“Breathe was a spectacular theater production featuring amazing music and talent while providing thought provoking questions related to ethics in medicine. Highly recommed play“

“A sub! A toasted sub from there is amazing!“

“After having a terrible experience at the Lebanon, TN location we stopped at this location to try the hyped Avocado Toast, which by the way is great! We decided to go through the drive thru. People we’re wearing masks, people we’re helpful friendly kind and courteous, what you expect and deserved when you give it back. We will tell everyone here to go to this location instead of the Lebanon, TN location. By the way no one here was rolling there eyes and giving attitude.“

“Love this place, the staff and their coffee! Unfortunately their wait times are often very long and only have one barista working both windows at the Lebanon location. Many times I (and others) have to leave the line as I can't wait 30min plus during my lunch break.“

“great food and awesome owners“

“Great ppl! Amazing coffee!“

“Love this place! The food is so good. I wished I lived closer to visit more often.“

“Amazing vibes! Clean and neat!“

“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“

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

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

“Absolutely lovely little shop. The employees were warm and inviting. The space, adorable.

And the drinks were to die for. Nashville sucks for coffee culture and it was the best latte I’ve had since being here for three years.
Also, that matcha strawberry deliciousness was a total vibe. Will be back for sure! Thanks!“

“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.“

“Tempo is a bonafide member of my support system. They keep me fed and happy every week. Not only are the coffee and food delicious and reliable, coming out perfect every time, the service is wonderful and it’s a place in my community where I truly feel loved and valued. I’m always counting the hours until Thursday when they open again in the week so I can help myself to a cappuccino, some breakfast tacos, and a warm welcome from the staff. Thank you Tempo, can’t wait till tomorrow!“

“I really love everything about this café! The interior is so inviting, and the atmosphere just makes you want to stay a while. It’s the kind of spot that’s perfect for brunch, coffee, or just a quick snack when you need a little pick-me-up. And I have to say—the avocado toast is incredible. Creamy, perfectly seasoned, and topped just right. Every bite is a little delicious moment. I’ll be back soon because it’s that kind of place you don’t just visit once—you keep coming back for the food and the vibe. If you’re local or in town for a visit, don’t miss it. It’s cozy, tasty, and the kind of café that makes you feel instantly welcome.“

“Incredible coffee and most especially the nice and knowledgeable staff that recommended the perfect cup of coffee. The atmosphere was the perfect break I needed before I had to get back on the road. Thank you!“

“Wonderful atmosphere! Great coffee and food! The owner is a delight! ❤️“

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

“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.“

“Absolutely, love this place. I drink decaf and it’s always delicious! And the people are amazing!“

“The coffee and breakfast were top notch, and the service is outstanding! We loved the farro bowl, omelet, and burrito. The food came out hot and fresh and was very well seasoned. Mary and Tate were our servers and we will be coming back here often!!“

“Delicious coffee I had a gift card given to me I usually do Starbucks but Dutch Brothers I would totally definitely go for them every morning but Starbucks is super fast so usually I can only go there for that only reason I love Dutch Brothers If they were able to get some more employees in there which is not their fault just saying but they can make it go faster I would definitely be stopping there instead! And it has nothing to do with them it's just my irresponsibility ADHD of waking up in the morning lol“

“It is always a pleasant experience with excellent service! Happy New Year!“

“I had heard good things about this specific Elegy location and they did not disappoint. The location is easy to miss as I drove past it multiple times trying to find parking. I ordered the honey bear cold brew. It had a nice hint of graham cracker to it. I only wish it came in a hot version. The inside is small with no seating inside which is a shame because the decor is comfortable. However, there’s a few tables outside to sit at. It’s next to a busy road so it’s not the most scenic though. Our barista was very helpful and even gave us advice on other places to check out in the area. I will definitely come back again.“

“Delicious smoothie and wonderful customer service. Nice to find something fresh to eat as a generally plant based eater amidst the city center! Homemade milks and no added sugars, can’t beat it. Not a ton of seating during cold months, but picnic table style outside.“

“Catie at the Lebanon Pike location is AWESOME!!! Best customer service I’ve received in a long time 😊“

“This store is amazing I went there twice and one thing I will say is they value their customers a lot !! I got a strawberry watermelon lemonade refresher and it was awesome, I also got some timbits and a donut that looks like a snowman and it was amazing, Dhara , she is a helpful person , Tarika was also great , she was new but did a great job at the register , the latte was also amazing . Definitely coming back !!! Highly recommended!“

“amazing pastries made from scratch“

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

“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.“

“I had been in before for just coffee, which is good here. Last time I also got a sandwich, and it was delicious. REALLY good sandwich, the bread and other ingredients all fresh and flavorful. And the for-here order is actually served as such (in an actual mug and on a real plate rather than fast food style paper cup and plates).“

“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.“

“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“

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

“A great local coffee spot!“

“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!“

“This coffee shop is an absolute hidden gem! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by a calm, quiet atmosphere that’s perfect for reading, studying, or just unwinding. What truly sets this place apart is their incredible drink menu — both the everyday creations and the seasonal specials are bursting with flavor and creativity. You can tell the baristas put real heart into every cup.

And the best part? It’s completely donation-based — you simply pay what you can or feel the experience is worth. That kind of community-first approach is rare and deeply appreciated. It’s more than just a coffee shop; it’s a space that invites kindness, comfort, and connection. Highly recommend!“

“Fantastic high quality chai and lattes!“

“What a great diamond in the rough! We were stuck in hotels with our power out from the ice storm and this establishment made sure to be here to support the folks going through a tragedy! The coffee was great, food was delicious and the customer service was next to none! Thank you for being there when we needed you most!“

“My fiancé and I had been meaning to stop in and check this place out. We finally did and we couldn’t be happier. The interior is clean with a beautiful design and aesthetic. The Haraz latte was outstanding and the deserts were just as delicious. The gentleman I’m assuming was one of the owners who took our order could not have been nicer. He took time in a busy rush to help us get situated. I love our east nashville neighborhood because of people and places like this!“

“Flora and Fauna is more than just a coffee shop; it's a gem in the heart of East Nashville. Walking in, you're immediately greeted by a service staff that makes you feel like family. The creativity in their drinks menu is a delightful surprise every visit, offering a perfect blend of classic and innovative choices. And let's talk about the pancakes – they are a must-try! Fluffy, flavorful, and simply irresistible, they're worth indulging in any day of the week. This place is a testament to what makes East Nashville's community so special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-notch brunch experience!“

“I love this place! Been here quite a few times now and it's Great every time! Great place to come for that coffee shop vibe. Dining area and outside seating if you just want to sit and hang or chat with a mate, and wifi if you wanna jam on your laptop or phone. The breakfast menu is unique and tasty. They have some great drink options, highly recommend the Black bear and the Hoodie, the Seasonal Chaider is really good too for that Fall vibe in your drink. The team is always friendly and great and the drinks always top notch.“

“Amazing and courteous staff, great atmosphere, and delicious coffee. This is my favorite coffee shop in Nashville!“

“Service with a smile our care broke down as well in drive thru the came out and pushed us to a parking spot and tried their best to help us get it started definitely 5 🌟“

“I went to visit before work. - Service was fast, personable and efficient. I spoke with the owner as he prepared my sage latte and warm apple danish. He has an extensive background in bartending. The coffee shop has another side that he made into a bar. So whether you need a AM pick me up or PM wine down- you are covered! Pure Genius. I’ll be going back to check out the PM vibes. I didn’t get a change to snag any pictures. Also, they have retail parking!“

“Great quality ingredients for both food and drink! Friendly, relaxed atmosphere. I love the changing art on the walls too! You have to try the Goat sandwich. So delicious!“

“Loved it!!“
