Frothy Monkey is an awesomely named coffee house with several locations in Nashville. We went to the 5th Avenue North spot near our hotel and had a decent experience for breakfast. The space appears small as you walk in, with somewhat limited seating before you get to the counter, but a much larger room opens up deeper in, so bring everyone! I had a Biscuit with egg whites and cheese which was awfully nice of them to make me since that particular sandwich isn’t on their menu. It tasted great, though it wasn’t my favorite biscuit texture I’ve had in the south. I accompanied this with a side of potatoes which also looked great, but the potatoes were not quite crispy which had me thinking they had been prepped a while ago, but they did taste good. (Once I added salt and pepper.) They have two coffee options - a traditional bold/dark which I got and which was really good. (I asked for it served in a mug which they happily obliged.) They had a more floral/fruity one too plus all kinds of special lattes and teas. My wife had the jasmine mint loose leaf tea which she thought was delightful, light and delicious. It was served with a carafe and the leaves separate in a steeping cup. She also ordered the Oatmeal with fruit that looked like it had been cut a while ago. She found it to be thick and hard to eat and she needed to ask for more almond milk to loosen it up a bit. They accommodated it and even steamed it for her. There are monkeys everywhere which makes any experience more enjoyable! We arrived before 10am and there was no line so service was quick, but then it got super crowded, so we got lucky! Also they make their own gluten free bread (which my gluten-free wife didn’t have, but good to know there’s a house-made option which is often more exciting then a store-bought loaf of something…) This was a fine and quick stop which served our needs on the way to our first tourist destination that morning in Nashville…had we more time to go anywhere, we’d probably have chosen one of the other spots in town, but it’s worth stopping in for the coffee!

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, SERVICE!!!!!… 45 minutes wait for a table and we were totally ok with that. We order the Clyde sandwich and a Architects omelette with blue cheese, mushrooms and spinach (it’s a build your own). The omelette was served after 30 mins…wrong order! Asked the server if I could have the omelette the way I ordered, his answer was a sassy “will take a while” … I said I was ok with waiting. Then 50 mins in… still there is No sign of the sandwich…. The Omelette arrives….(comes like in the picture, literally looked like a leftover, they forgot the toast, butter and Jam that comes with it) I ask if I could have the toast and Jam… 1 hour in no toast, no jam, NO SANDWICH!! Almost like a joke!! Finally, the server comes again and we asked him, what happened with the sandwich? His answer, “I don’t know, I put the order in”!! I asked again if I can please have the toast and jam that was part of the Omelette dish, finally he went to the kitchen and drop it in or table, upset almost like if we were the ones that cause the mistakes!!! ….Still no sign of the sandwich… so we asked the host that was standing behind our table if we could cancel the sandwich, at this point we are not even upset, just hungry and disappointed that we wasted our last day in Nashville in this restaurant. My husband I dine out A LOT and we have Never, Never have had such a horrible experience!! The two servers were EXTREMELY rude and not empathetic at all! The only person that we can save from this experience was the host, with her cute tie die shirt! she was the only one friendly and kind!! Props to her!

The host should not be a host. Rude and not personable. We should have just left, but we decided to wait around 30 minutes as others were too. That tells me that it’s worth the wait. Got seated by my favorite host when our server, who was eating at the table behind us, got up, grabbed a writing pad and took our order. When working at a restaurant is it normal to eat next to your customers on break? Is that why I waited 30 min for a table? Never saw him again. Someone else came to ask about what bread we wanted on the burgers we already ordered. A third person dropped off our food. We asked them for some ketchup, etc. to go with it and she said she doesn’t do that, but our waiter would be back so we can ask them. Ok nice, are you in a union and it’s not in your job description or something?…no one came. I had to hail down a different fourth person for our check who just said “sorry” without even me starting to express my displeasure. They must have just known we’ve been neglected the entire time. I’ve had better service at a gas station. Do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else.

I want to give them a solid 4.5 for vibe + service + food (in that order). The general manager, Rachel, was extremely hospitable and friendly. We had a special reservation for a corporate event, and had so much fun. Most importantly, Everyone liked their food, and we had a combined order of 10-12 different entrees. I got my usual Avocado Toast but they have their own spin on it and I’m here for it. You can see in the pictures, it’s got broccoli, feta, sweet potato, radishes and when all these flavors were put together, they worked really well and brought a well-balanced flavors to your palette. For a place, that has full-time baristas and a coffee bar, their coffee wasn’t impressive. I found it a bit sweet, and so did a few people on the table — but after some time, it tasted better (ice melted ). That’s the only reason I gave it 4.5 instead of 5. You’re in downtown Nashville so forget parking. If you’re walking to this place, it’ll work out so much better or get an Uber. Pro tip: upstairs view is just so much better, try to get a table there.

We were in town for the weekend and this place came highly recommended to us so we stopped there right after we got in from the airport. First take, the place was really cool and the coffee was great! My wife ordered a sandwich with bacon but when she received it, it has sausage. The wait staff said oh we’re out of bacon but they never came to let us know or ask if we wanted something different. She did not finish it. I ordered the heuvos rolandos with the “pork barbacoa” which isn’t a thing. It was actually carnitas. It was pretty tasty but it wasn’t until later that afternoon that I found out something wasn’t right. I was blessed with unbearable stomach pains and unable to eat anything for the next day and a half. Following that was the most violent explosive diarrhea I have ever had in my life. Our trip to Nashville was essentially half ruined by the imposter of a brunch entree. On the bright side, this bout of food poisoning really boosted my weight loss journey.

I recently swung by Frothy Monkey at Rep. John Lewis Way North in Nashville, and let me tell you, the food was awesome. Seriously, it was great. The vibe at this place is always cool and chill, which I love. Now, the only hitch was the parking situation. This spot is smack in the middle of tourist central, and I ended up shelling out over 30 bucks for parking at the Harvey Lot nearby through Metropolis Parking. Not their fault, but it’s something to keep in mind, especially on a busy weekend with tourists swarming the place. Honestly, my fam probably won’t make this a regular hangout due to the tourist crowd, but it was a pretty sweet first visit. Plus, Frothy Monkey’s got a solid rep here in Nashville. Short-Form: • Food at Frothy Monkey rocks, and the vibe is always cool. • Parking’s a bit pricey, blame it on the tourists. • Not our regular spot, but a fun first-time visit. • Frothy Monkey’s known in Nashville.

We had dinner and breakfast here during our overnight stay at the DoubleTree. It was a short walk from the hotel and right around the corner from the James K Polk theater where we saw a show. Both our meals were exceptional! We had great service from Brennan, Kelly and Michael, and all the employees were working well as a team to take care of customers as quickly as possible. There was no wait for our weeknight dinner, but expect a brief wait for breakfast as this is clearly a popular spot! If you don't want to sit down, you can always go grab a quick coffee and to-go sandwich/pastry from the counter. They had a good beer, wine and cocktail menu for dinner. The food was fresh, affordable and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the Monkey Mocha for breakfast! It was perfect and beautiful. The flavors were all exceptional!

This place is legit. Frothy Monkey has two levels, that presents a nice laid back atmosphere. I arrived on Sunday afternoon. I sat upstairs. First impressions was it was nice with huge windows. I sat by the window which offered a view over the street. Saw a lot of people riding electric scooters and it made me happy! The music playing was decent. Tables are industrial rustic which gives the place an awesome look. The first floor had ample seating with additional seating in the back but didn't scope out that area. It looked to be deep enough to wear a good number of people. I ordered the farm breakfast. I was trying to order the most amount of food and I feel I succeeded in my guess. This plate was packed. I was barely able to finish it. The food looked very fresh, tasted fresh to. I wasn't expecting this from what I thought to just be "just a coffee shop" from passing by. I was not expecting my visit to the place to be so pleasant. This place is so much more and I will definitely be coming back again.

Nice looking place, but informed upon arrival they they are short-staffed and the wait would be 20 minutes for a table. Ok, because we could get coffee while we waited. Iced mocha was great. That's was the best part. True to 20 minute wait in a half empty restaurant. Once seated, service was friendly and timely. Ordered Farmers Breskfast with sausage and over-easy eggs (informed that they "can't do poached" and toast. Eggs came out half-cooked with clear whites running around the plate. Sausages were totally over-cooked tiny hockey pucks. Toast was not toasted at all, but the bread was good at least. Grits we're great. Just stopping into town and had much better breakfast elsewhere that were not open today. Won''t be coming back here unless I just want coffee.

Solid place for breakfast/brunch in the area. The staff was very friendly throughout, but besides the manager herself, it did seem like we had to wait a bit here and there to actually interact with our actual server. The food itself was great, most notably the Avo Toast. The French Toast, on the other hand, was just ok. There was actually a mishap on the order in that it didn’t come out with the fruit topping for some reason, but that was quickly corrected. The flavor itself was still just ok and didn’t really stand out in any way. Overall, it was a tasty meal, but not worth waiting 30+ min for as we did that Saturday morning.

We came to eat here on a busy Sunday morning before catching a show at Tupac. We were not disappointed. Wonderful service and fantastic food for what you pay. I got the pimento cheese burger (i cannot remember it’s official name) but it was fabulous! The only thing i would change about it is the banana peppers i would make them pickled jalapeños instead but it was still a wonderful perfectly cooked burger! My sister had the Salmon sand which and stated it was wonderful as well. You will not be disappointed here but on a busy Sunday be prepared to wait for a table, but it is well worth the wait!

The Frothy Monkey provided a much needed caffeine boost while visiting Nashville but ended up being so much more. The space easily doubles as a full bar and restaurant for all day enjoyment. My visit consisted of enjoying an espresso and a breakfast sandwich of which you can choose your ingredients. The bagel was soft and chewy as expected while the cheesy and greasy sausage soaked up the previous nights regrets. They do take their coffee seriously and it was easy to speak with the baristas as they were friendly and attentive despite being busy on a weekend morning. Its rare to find a spot that does a variety of things well but here many items on the menu impressed and would bring me back over and over again.

I don’t usually leave reviews but I thought people should know. The coffee was excellent but the food was not. The summer Shirley drink was also very good. I got the avocado toast and the bread was so stale I could not bite into it I had to use a knife. My friend who was with me got French toast with peaches on top and the French toast had a sour taste to it (I also tried it). The staff was absolutely amazing, very sweet and fast. I just don’t think that the brunch food we got was worth it. Side note: I don’t know if it was an off day but they were out of croissants at 10:45am…

Went in to get breakfast this morning. The name and sign just killed me so I had to go in. I got a breakfast with farm fresh eggs, awesome bacon, sour dough toast with strawberry jam, and a potato cut into four with what I think was rosemary on them. It was a great meal and well packaged in a unique little container. I also got a fruit cup and a lemon blueberry scone. The scone to me was more like Irish soda bread. It had that feel to it. It was really good. This is an eccentric hipster coffee shop and restaurant. I kinda think outside the box and enjoy these type of places. I would reccomend a visit if your in Nashville.

Stumbled in to this place after a very long line around the corner that I was not going to stand in. The menu had a lot of choices for my taste/desire. I ordered a large cup of drip coffee and wow!!! The best damn coffee I’ve ever tasted! & I’ve drank a lot of coffee in my lengthy life. It’s a definite recommendation and you’ve gotta try the coffee! The eggs, bacon, oatmeal as all Loved by my family also

Nice vibe, great service, excellent coffee. We had a salted caramel cortado and a seasonal latte with cardamom and other spices- both delicious. The only reason I gave the food 4 stars instead of 5 is because I ordered the huevos Rolandos and the beans were swimming in liquid-difficult to eat. The other reason was that the sausage patties had quinoa and other spices we were not expecting, just didn't like it. But the freshness and quality of the food was excellent. We had a really nice server who gave us some great shopping recommendations. I would definitely recommend this place, and would love to go back.

I went for breakfast and had the brioche French toast and also got a side of grits. Everything was good but I especially liked the grits, made with gouda. Never had them like that before. The staff were friendly and checked on me several times without being overwhelming. The one thing I would avoid, if you are a solo traveler like me, try and avoid being sat at the end of the bar. With the way it curves you don't have room to put your legs under and to get to your food you end up hunched over.

Have been here many times, 2nd time to this location, but received horrible service, rushed out before I could order additional food, and just saw them treat a lady who was desperately needing to use the bathroom horrible because she hadn't purchased anything. To be fair, the coffee is fine, and both horrible experiences happened with just one server.

Heard on the internet about the maple latte. The latte is apparently the latte that Taylor Swift has drank at this particular location. So I thought I'd give it a try. It wasn't on the menu. But luckily the barista knew how to make it and made me one anyway. I had one of them iced. And one of them warm. Both were equally delicious. Iced is better though. Also had the bacon egg and cheese bagel. That was really good with the coffee. And it came out pretty fast. Good ingredients.

We had ordered a vegetarian item and found our dish to have a piece of bacon on it. When we brought this to the attention of the server, we were not given any apology and were given a measly 30% discount on the price of the dish. The server and then later the manager were non-chalant about the incident, and never apologised till the end. We explained to the manager that it wasn’t about the money but rather the attitude of the staff about this incident. Staff and leadership at the restaurant needs to learn about fundamental principles of the service and hospitality industry. Poor experience.

We arrived before the rush. Our table ordered an Irish coffee-pretty good, I added vanilla simple syrup, a turtle latte- not sweet enough and came cool when we expected it hot, french toast, garden omelet, loaded gravy and biscuits - BEST MEAL AT THE TABLE, and a bacon egg and cheese bagel. Our service was good and the restaurant filled quickly with coffee goers. Many just came for the coffee.

I only give 2 stars because my Martini was good and the environment But service couldn’t be worst! Since I got in there is a miscommunications from the host to our server. They never served our full order but at the end they charged me for more of what I was served and of course a wrong order. I always tolerate young people mistakes cause I have young kids but that was above and beyond unprofessional service for a such a nice place. At the end they didn’t charge us but they never apologized neither

Overall had a good experience. The space has a relaxing and cafe feel, quite a few people were in there working. We sat upstairs, food was pretty good and our server was nice. We had the Havana coffee, orange juice (bottle for $6 is a little expensive), a few sides which were all decent, the BEC bagel on everything (add Avo spread), and the French toast - we like everything and left full.

This has a very hipster vibe. The menu is not too expensive and the food was very good. I had a quinoa and black bean burger that came with potatoes and then a rich chocolate custard with whipped topping. My friend had a coffee that had a really stunning presentation with a whipped decoration on top. The food tasted fresh and the restaurant seems to care a lot about quality and presentation. The staff was extremely friendly and helped us with the menu choices and recommendations since it was our first time there.

Cute little place. Although not on the menu, they were willing to make a dirty chai latte. Our server was friendly and attentive even as we sat to finish coffee. The avo toast was very yummy. Add the egg. They were out of some menu items but were willing to substitute. The gouda grits were a little too thick for me. My husband would've liked a potato option on the menu as a side.

Loved this place. Great vibe and old building space with high ceilings, brick and plaster walls and ample seating downstairs and up. You order at the counter and they bring your food and drinks to the table (no standing around “Starbucks-style” trying to hear if the next wax paper cup holds your drink). I enjoyed the eggs on avocado toast pictured with a Best of class cappuccino. It was fabulous and comforting. Included avocado sprouts and excellent sour dough bread with a nice crust. I’ll be back!

We went on a Saturday for brunch. The line extended to the door but moved pretty quickly. It was a little bit slower to get our food and drinks delivered to the table. Drinks were very good. We had both the cold brew and latte. Food was okay. The biscuits and gravy were fine but could have used more spice. The architect's omelette wasn't very fluffy and the sourdough toast was average. The jam that came with the toast was good. Go for the beverages and find food elsewhere is my recommendation.

We had a private event at the Frothy Monkey in November 2016. They closed the entire restaurant for us and prepared a buffet of sweet and savory snacks. Everything looked and tasted amazing! Our 150+ guests were raving about the food, drinks and quality of service. The space is really nice and perfect for parties of our size. The staff was very friendly and polite and stayed past the agreed time as people did not want to leave the party! They even helped us box the leftover food at the end.

The cutest breakfast place right down the street from a Woolworths. We enjoyed a simple but delicious brunch. Since we went at prime time on a Saturday and there were high winds preventing outdoor seating, we waited at least 30 minutes to be seated. It’s a little ways from broadway but the walk was nice.

We spent a week in Nashville and stayed downtown at a hotel. We tried the Frothy Monkey for breakfast and it became our ‘go to’ every morning! The food, atmosphere and staff were second to none. Even when they were run off their feet, they always greeted you with a smile and eager to help. Can’t go wrong with a regular coffee or a latte. We tried most things on the menu and nothing will disappoint. Highly recommend! ❤️

What a disappointment. A $12 Adult grilled cheese with possibly 2 pieces (at best) of cheese, discolored avocado and an egg that never had a chance. The potatoes kinda had no chance, 1 bite was all it took. While I get that this little part of downtown is a "who cares mark up tourists trap", there are a lot of offices near by and locals are here too. Frothy 12 South and Frothy Sylvan park I would highly recommend, this location however continues to decline

I was looking forward to coming to this place until I was waiting in line looking at a menu when the bartender on 10/20 asked for the menu (while I was waiting in line looking at the menu) and said it was her bar and that menu was for her bar and grabbed it. We walked out of the cafe and will not be returning. I do not ever leave bad reviews as I am a bartender/server but this was absurd and beyond disrespectful that we walked out.

What a great eatery and coffee shop. Our group visited the Frothy Monkey several times during our trip to Nashville, and the food and service were excellent every time. Props to our server Judas too; he was a new server, but super courteous, attentive, and just a genuine individual. We tried multiple breakfast items, pastries, coffee and cocktails drinks throughout our visits. I personally loved my Golden Monkey Latte and Rosemary Honey Latte.

We came here because it was close to our hotel. It was an excellent decision, we really enjoyed the food . Great service. One complaint. The greens with the basolmic vinegar should not be in the same dish as the avocado toast. My wife kept her toast from getting too soggy from it, but shouldn't have to do that.

Food was very good. I asked for an avocado toast which she said they made and when I received my meal it was the egg top of of the bread and avocado on the side?? Apparently they're are not communicating well what the customer wants. This needs improvement. On the other hand lattes are very good. Place is very nice and spacious. They have a lot of seating on the bottom floor, in the back and upstairs. I would come back.

Its pretty and instagramable but it took so long to get the food and it wasnt good. I got the french toast and was so excited but it was some how dry? Even with the berry compote on top like bro how? My brother got some bagel sandwich and it was nothing to write home about. All in all not worth the wait nor the trouble. Or the money 14 for dry french toast

Food was fantastic! A little different and eclectic spin on southern dishes. Tried the Hummingbird coffee which was really good. Grits were real thick style which I love. The Jolene was also a lot of food and very good with all kinds of flavor. The food coming to the table was a little slow but they were busy and I don't mind terribly if I'm drinking coffee and relaxing. Would recommend.

Amber was an incredible server! She was very attentive & helped recommend for for us with it being our first time. The food was fresh and hot and the wait time wasn’t bad at all for a Saturday morning! We’re only here for the weekend but will be back for breakfast again. They have a bakery as well where you can purchase any of the bread that’s served & their gluten free bread was 10/10.

Such a cute coffee spot! Was walking by with my husband and we decided to stop in and check it out. I’m glad we did and I hate that I didn’t ask the guy at the front what his name was bc he was super sweet and gave some great recommendations. I went with the turtle latte! Super delicious! And now as I’m drinking my latte, I’m kicking myself for not grabbing a frothy monkey beanie.

Recommended by a friend, we visited and had a great experience at the FM. Brunch, drinks, service and the environment were 5 Stars. Intimate setting, friendly service even when things got confusing. The food is tasty and worth the visit. If you order the Bourbon Butterscotch coffee and your in the mood for a kick, get yourself a shout of the Bullet Bourbon. It will not disappoint.

Their coffee is some of the best in Nashville. What’s also refreshing is their iced tea. Their food is quite good as well. I love their Biscuits w/chorizo gravy and the Andouille Hash especially. Always great service, even when it’s crowded. Can’t recommend the location in downtown Nashville enough!

Amazing latte selection. The rosemary honey latte was rich and smooth with a subtle herbal flavor. The sweetness was not over the top and it let the espresso really show off some smokey complexity. Service was chill, cheerful and eager to offer info on any of their menu items. Atmosphere is pretty casual and great for a quick bite. I will be back to try the other items for sure!

This is the coolest coffee place I have been to in a while. The whole place is a vibe. I wish I had one near my home. I was on a work trip and had to come see the place. The staff were incredible and they even made a cute turtle on my drink!

The food is great. It is a very busy place so the service is slow but definitely worth it. Atmosphere is trendy. I had the Farm Burger. It was yummy!

The wait on a Friday brunch (11am) was about 35 minutes, but worth it. The huevos rolandos was fantastic and could feed two if you’re not famished. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the seasoning was on point.

Had a great time here. We showed up right as they opened. Food was great ingredients. They had real sourdough which I was impressed with. Their coffee included refills on a pour over ? That’s amazing. The server was even kind enough to offer a Togo for my third refill. All whole dressed up for the Halloween season.

Such a great place for breakfast! I stayed at the Dream hotel, and Frothy Monkey was just a block away. Wonderful coffee + awesome food made this a must-revisit spot on my next trip to Nashville.

It's no surprise this place has mostly 5 star reviews. Amazing food and atmosphere. There is a bit of a wait for the food, as stated in a review below, but the wait is WELL worth it. This isn't a place you get reheated precooked food like some coffee chains, everything here tastes amazingly fresh. Definitely worth stopping in.

Wow, what a great find in Nashville! Tasty breakfast that is served all day till 5pm. Coffee is delicious, as well! Very friendly and astute!

What an amazing breakfast/brunch/lunch place! I went here 4 times in two days great breakfast options e.g. the California and Plain Jain, and the salads are incredible as well (especially the 'architect' make-your-own). Also have some creative (and normal) teas. Don't leave Nashville without trying this spot! …

Very friendly staff with great service here! Deliciously roasted coffee and phenomenal breakfast options. We had the cheesy grits bowl with feta and two eggs, as well as the Huevos Rolandos with barbacoa added. Both were outstanding! The portion sizes were generous and the flavors were spot on! Great experience!

1) Told there was an hour wait with plenty of open tables 2) Food and drinks are served at different ends of the establishment making it easy to miss when your name is called 3) Unpractical arrangement for ordering, waiting and dining 4) Latte was good though

Stopped here for breakfast after getting into the city. Was really nothing exciting , food was meh. My friend had the overnight oats which were not good she only had a few bites. Donut muffin was good and service was good - so for that I will give it 3 stars.

Great cup of coffee! Bought a ton of beans. I can't wait to go home to try them. Such friendly staff and service. Even when they were slammed they were super nice and just hustling behind the counter.

Service took long and was not warm and friendly once we finally got served. Food took long. Eggs had egg shells in them. Avocado toast had a smear of unseasoned avocado. Tomatoes were not even sliced. Not worth it. All hype.

Food came out really fast, plenty of seating. Giant space with a hipster vibe. The cold brew coffee was absolutely delicious! The parfait was slightly difficult to eat due to the granola on top (it spilled everywhere), but otherwise a fun and delightful spot for breakfast. Prices were reasonable too!

Rustic, hipster vibe. Order at counter, and then they give you a number to place on your table so they can deliver your food. The Californian breakfast was good, the housemade salsa was the best part. Coffee on the other hand was terrible. And I paid $5 for a side of fruit which was really lacking.

Very unwelcoming atmosphere and drinks were sub par. Not a great place to work from at all but we had made the trip hearing it was a good spot so ended up staying a bit.

Girl with the funky sweater and white doc martins acted like I was inconveniencing her for ordering food at 1:30 when they close at four. Felt the need to say “you need to be out the door by four”. it’s a shame because I live next door and love coming here but will not be back

What a neat little place! The food is fresh and tasty, prices are reasonable and you do not leave hungry. They have a small section to buy gifts and coffee, room for parties/meetings or you can sit at one of the two bars they have. There is an upstairs as well as a back room for privacy.

This was an amazing experience!! Great food and wonderful service. We told our server we had a flight to catch and our meals were out less than 5 minutes after we ordered. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend!

The Frothy Monkey is AMAZING. Each time I visit Nashville, I made a trip their daily. The raspberry matcha drink is my absolute favorite drink!! My most recent trip, I tried their chips and salsa, and pasta. It was AMAZING. Everything about this place including service is a 10/10!

Three Days in a Row - An amazing experience with an amazing crew! Rachel (GM), Hannah, and Taylor made it special!

Super friendly staff. If visiting on the weekend, plan for a bit of a wait. Breakfast pastries, sandwiches, and omelettes. Interesting coffee drinks - definitely worth trying. Both the Havana and Hummingbird were surprisingly delicious. Fun people watching - sit at the bar!

We stopped by this location a year ago and did so again today - just for their lemonade. The staff is always friendly, their atmosphere is great and the food is solid! Definitely would come back again (again)!

I do not generally leave bad reviews but we did not have a great experience here. We ordered to go since the wait was over 40 minutes. The biscuit egg and cheese sandwich imo was way to salty and greasy. The staff is friendly but I do not think I would go back.

The Royale is in my top five lunch sandwiches of all time! Coffee was also excellent.

Royale Sandwich

We ordered pancakes... I’m not sure if we were served pancakes. They didn’t look like normal pancakes and definitely didn’t taste like normal pancakes. It was a disappointment. The vanilla latte was ok, the best part of breakfast was the fruit bowl.

We stopped in for a quick coffee to go, and it was delicious! Staff was very friendly. If we had more time in Nashville I'd love to eat there. Loved the vibe of the place and menu looks fantastic

This a really cool cafeteria. Perfecto for breakfast or lunch. I went there for breakfast and the food was really good. The coffee was delicious and the prices where pretty alright. The place is nice and we'll decor. I would recommend going there.

Well everything was good however I received the wrong sandwich. Ordered proscuitto and got some kind of lesser ham? Maybe they use a weird brand but it was unlike any other I've had. Cold brew was great though. Environment and design was pleasant.

If you are coming to Nashville add this eatery to your itinerary. Great brunch and drinks; and very friendly, helpful staff. We were especially impressed with the hostess and Jordan at the Rep. John Lewis Way location.

Cute coffeehouse. Lovely vibe with music playing in the background. I had the Irish coffee with Huevos Rolandos. The food had flavor and a bit of spice. Nice relaxing time for my husband and I.

Fantastic coffee and such delicious food! They have very unique menu choices. Nothing is bland or mediocre here!

Im happy we went as I know many visitors to Nashville talk about this cafe chain. I really enjoyed my latte but the wait was very long and not everyone in my group loved there’s.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED the sandwich that I ordered it was so good! The staff was very attentive. This cafe was really cute to! Will definitely go back when I'm in Nashville again!

Very good choice for breakfast just a few blocks off Broadway. Funky contemporary atmosphere, clean, friendly service.

I ordered a sandwich with egg, mozzarella, pesto, and bacon. It was so good! My husband had eggs and potatoes and a biscuit. We were pleased with the service and the food!

Really cool coffee place that serves Bloody Mary's. it has an upstairs overlooking the street. Really cool atmosphere. 16oz black coffee is only $2.50 or so. Not bad

This little place makes for a great breakfast selection. You walk up and order. Then find your seat. The food didn't disappoint. I'll be back for sure.
