Great coffee and even better atmosphere! The baristas pull an excellent espresso, and their specialty lattes are top-notch. It is the perfect sweet-and-caffeine combination, served in a beautiful, vibrant shop with exceptionally friendly service. read more

I've lived in this neighborhood for years and have always made my coffee at home. But back in 2017 to 2019, I used to come here to work/study and accidentally discovered the breakfast burrito. And oh boy. I became addicted. Then COVID hit. Window pickup became a thing. That burrito was basically my emotional support animal throughout 2020. I ate it almost every damn day. It was $5.95 and genuinely one of the greatest things I had ever put in my mouth. Fast forward a few years. I hadn't had it in forever. Today I came back, craving my beloved COVID breakfast burrito. Sweet baby Jesus. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED. The audacity to call this thing a burrito should be investigated by the FBI. It's apparently wrapped in filo dough (pretty sure), which means it's baked, aggressively buttery, ridiculously doughy, and somehow almost raw underneath. This is not a burrito. This is a pastry having an identity crisis. The beans were basically the entire personality of the thing. Barely any vegetables. The egg tasted like it had been cooked twice, then sentenced to another cooking session inside the pastry. Everything was doughy, mushy, buttery, and sad. I took a few bites, stared into the distance, questioned my life choices, and eventually threw the damn thing away. And it's $10 now. Which I have absolutely no problem paying, IF THE BURRITO IS GOOD. The employees were very nice and kind, though. I don't know any of them and it seems like the whole crew is new, so this is absolutely not about them. But the only reason 8th & Roast remained on my personal breakfast map was that burrito. And now it's gone. RIP 8th & Roast breakfast burrito. 2017-2020. You were too good for this world. read more

8th & Roast is one of my personal favorite cafes in the city, especially given that they function as their own roastery. I really appreciate the extensive range of coffee beans they offer, along with the variety of roasts and the way they source their beans from different suppliers across multiple countries. During my visit, I ordered a cappuccino made with a medium roast, while my husband went with a mocha. My cappuccino featured their Sunrise Espresso Blend, which combines beans from Brazil, Guatemala, and Costa Rica. The resulting flavor profile was wonderfully fruity and a little chocolatey (from the Brazil- Blend), with very low acidity, exactly what I prefer. It delivered the precise caffeine hit I was looking for and felt incredibly refreshing. My husband's mocha, however, was a bit of a letdown. It was overwhelmingly mocha-heavy to the point where there was barely any discernible coffee flavor, so it was not a hit for him. The baristas were polite, though the wait time felt a little longer than expected considering the cafe was not very busy at the time. Beyond that, the vibe inside is very chill, there is plenty of seating, and the free parking availability makes visiting super hassle-free. read more

Staff was rude and seemed like they did not want to be there. It was very off putting, coffee was just ok

Second time here and will not return. The employees were incredibly rude. The coffee was fine but not worth it given the staff. I also don't recommend the person making coffee to be loudly talking about how he feels sick. read more

Bad service when I complimented barista on her latte art. She was extremely rude to me. The coffee itself tasted watered down, similar to a bad day at Dunkin (except dunkin wouldn't cost $8). Wouldn't recommend this place. The only reason it gets two stars is because the music and environment was good, but you couldn't pay me to come back here. read more

While I still prefer their Charlotte location for parking, seating options, and natural lighting, 8th & Roast is definitely my favorite Nashville coffee shop, particularly for their monthly/seasonal drinks. February includes a strawberry matcha with coconut milk and honey (and dried strawberries) which was incredible. But truly, they never miss on flavors. I still miss the horchata latte they did in the summer for a few years! read more

Great coffee! Did a short coffee/breakfast stop here on a weekday morning and really enjoyed it. I had an almond milk latte and a really delicious chia seed overnight oats bowl. They did not have any veggie options for the breakfast sandwiches, and the pastries were limited too. We went for the coffee though! The espresso was bold and smooth - I liked it a lot. I was pleasantly surprised by the overnight oats option. It was filled with fresh strawberries, coconut, peanut butter, and more. It was a sweet but healthier treat for breakfast. I also had a gluten free pumpkin muffin that had some type of streudel or chocolate marbled throughout. It was huge and I had some for breakfast 2 days after that. Great little coffee shop. Baristas were very friendly. read more

Headed south through Nashville on my way home from Louisville last weekend, this place was the perfect stop for a quick pick-me-up for the last leg of the drive. I was pleased to find them open fairly late in the afternoon and on a Sunday no less. Even better was the mostly-maneuverable nearby free parking lot! Not a ton of space, but a spot for me - hurray! :) After a short walk over, I found the inside of the shop to be bright, slightly industrial, airy, and comfortable, with several people clearly hanging out, working on laptops, or just catching up. Seems like a good place for all of those needs! On the quieter side than some community coffee shops the day I visited, so perhaps extra good for getting work done. One drawback was I looked for a restroom and didn't find one easily. There might be one available to the public but I wasn't quite desperate enough to ask. I knew pretty quickly I wanted one of their seasonal specialities. I asked the barista taking my order which of a couple yummy-sounding drinks was the sweetest as I like my lattes on the dessert side. He said he hadn't tried any of them! I thought that was pretty funny. No big deal. I wound up choosing an iced "We Were in Paris," which had hazelnut, cinnamon, and brown sugar. It was nicely balanced, pleasantly sweet, with lots of cinnamon flavor. I enjoyed it. Pictures showed yummy looking pastries, but they were understandably somewhat picked over by late afternoon. I wound up with a chocolate chip muffin for a snack. It was decent but a little dry. I would've liked it if someone had offered to heat it up for me but there were folks waiting behind me and I didn't want to be an inconvenience so I just took it as it was. The crumble and drizzle of glaze on top was nice. All in all, could definitely see a return stop in the future. Enjoyed my brief time here and certainly enjoyed my drink! read more

Went in early on a Saturday morning. The line was quick and the staff were friendly! It had a "come in and relax" vibe to it. I ordered a house coffee (you can tell a lot about a coffee shop by the quality of their house coffee) It was a good everyday coffee. Something you could drink daily without getting bored of it. I like more unique flavor notes though. Thankfully I got a bag of Brazil single origin and it was very good as a pour over! Definitely recommend a visit if you're a Nashville local or just visiting! They also had really cool merch! read more

I don't know what they put in their coffee but it is SO strong! Be cautious if you're sensitive to caffeine. They always have really fun and yummy rotating drinks on their specials board too. Have gotten their quiche a few times, however, if you want to get it heated just know you'll be waiting a while! Lots of seating if you want to study or work for a while here. read more

I've come to increasingly love and appreciate 8th and Roast after visiting more often at the Nashville airport and more recently their 8th Ave cafe. The interior is big and open with a good amount of community and bar seating at the window. They are fast, efficient, and serve one of my favorite lattes in the city. They also offer bakery items, some breakfast, and seasonal offerings. I highly recommend 8th and Roast for your morning needs! read more

8th & Roast is very close to my office, but I only go when I have time to kill & money to spend. Parking is a challenge as it's very limited, I somehow usually get lucky with their little lot or off 8th. Finding parking and getting your order may take time if it's busy. Their espresso is some of the best in Nashville - it really packs a punch being incredibly strong and bold yet balanced and smooth. They always feature fun, creative flavors and have a great energy in the shop. You will pay for the quality, today I paid $9.05 for a 16oz iced latte (oat milk) it is definitely steep (even compared to prices I've seen in LA or NYC), but honestly, the strength and flavor make it worth the splurge (usually seasonally) for me. Today, I ordered from their summer 2025 menu and am loving it as I type - a "Brown. Butter. Scotch." and it is everything you'd want from those words - HIGHLY recommend. There is a lot of table space to spread out and work or meet up with friends! read more

Great matcha and coffee. One star reduction because of their pet policy. Otherwise no complaints.

Really enjoyed my iced vanilla latte! Hard to mess that up, but it had a wonderful flavor and I was throughly impressed!

Quick and tasty stop for coffee and a breakfast sammie on our way to Radnor Lake on a Saturday morning! We managed to snag a parking spot on the street right in front of 8th & Roast, which is always a plus! There was no line when we got there - but you can tell that this is a popular spot on any day of the week. My husband and I sampled a few of their seasonal drinks - the Peppermint Bark latte, and the Pistachio latte. All of their food options sounded good (and smelled good) so we also ordered the "Old Fashioned" biscuit sandwich to-go. The coffee was delicious - I feel like there's a noticeable difference in taste from shops that roast their own beans. We also really liked the breakfast sandwich! The biscuit was thick and flaky, and the sausage, egg and cheese was warm and savory. We didn't stay indoors long - but this is absolutely the kind of coffee shop that I could see myself working remotely at for a few hours. This was a great start to the long weekend - we'll absolutely be back! read more

I been back to this location since my original review, and I'm updating it to 5 stars. The coffee is consistent every single time I go. I got a vanilla latte today, and it was quite literally amazing. The employees are always nice, and the inside has plenty of seating. #1 best coffee spots in Nashville. read more

Pretty good coffee in a quieter part of town. Definitely has a more cozy, industrial vibe. A good amount of indoor seating which is nice. We got a drip coffee of their light roast and a cold brew. Both had a slightly more acidic taste, not in a bad way, and drank very smooth. Didn't need to add cream or sugar. Fair prices as well. They sell pastries that looked yummy but I didn't try any. They also sell bags of their beans and some coffee accessories (chemex, filters, etc.) read more

Coffee is great but the attitudes of the employees suck everytime I've gone in. The last time in I ordered a latte, the shot was burnt, which isn't a big deal but when I asked the girl at the register if she could remake it she said "I mean I guess". Kind of ridiculous. read more

Me and my group of girls were highly disappointed. We stopped here on our way back from our Alabama trip for a quick breakfast. It looked promising. They don't have their prices clear for the food options; I opted for a bacon egg and cheese.... classic. Cant go wrong right? Wrong. $10!!!! And guess what. It was burnt. I didn't know you could mess up a premade sandwich that just goes in the oven. Coffee was ok. Prices are just ridiculous. Barista was a little snappy. read more

Went here with some good friends for a quick bite and coffee! The service was meh. Cashier was not very kind, no eye contact and very quiet. Didn't feel very welcoming!! First time in Nashville and this was my one impression! Ordered a coffee and a sandwich for just about 20 dollars. Expected to be blown away for those prices but it was not memorable whatsoever My sandwich was precooked but happened to be very overcooked and chewy. Bummed. Would recommend somewhere else for a casual quick bite. Can find better without paying that much!! read more

Very comfy ambiance with a good variety on the menu. The seats are not ideal for studying for long periods of time, but it's a great place nevertheless.

Nashville has some killer coffee shops and 8th & Roast is no exception! I came here to kill some time before heading into Downtown for a meeting. The parking is tough, but there are a few spots in front and a private parking lot on the side of the building. Inside there is plenty of space to sit and even a private meeting room you can rent for large groups. For the coffee I went with the usual, cold brew and a veggie quiche to eat. The quiche was ok, but could have used some spice. It was large and filled me up enough to get through the morning. The coffee was delicious, like two cup delicious. Smooth flavor and no bitter aftertaste. I drank it black and it was perfect. They roast everything at their second location and you can tell there's passion in every cup. When in the area, this will definitely be my go to coffee shop. read more

Great coffee and nice atmosphere on a rainy day Staff is nice too Regular latte has good taste read more

Years ago when it was owned and roasted with Lisa, it was possibly the best in town alongside Crema. Then it was bought out and the quality of coffee has gone down some. Overall, it's still ok but they definitely lean a bit toward Starbucks business mentality. Breakfast biscuits have shrunk in size, a crapload more swag, and a staff that's just like "meh just a job". Nevertheless, if the only other option open is Dunkin or Starbucks, this is still a much better option! Btw, now Lisa and her cool partner run the absolute best coffee spot in the city, Osa! read more

Really wanted to like this place since I live a short walk away but unfortunately their coffee was very acidic and not good. I ordered an iced latte with almond milk, which was a bit pricier than elsewhere. My boyfriend ordered a cold brew. I took a couple sips and figured maybe the almond milk was just watered down or something. I will give it to them that they agreed to remake my latte with oat milk when I asked, but that was also awful. My boyfriend also was t happy with his cold brew and added a splash of water to make it more palatable but it didn't help. We ditched our drinks and went elsewhere. Beyond the coffee itself, the cafe is decent from an atmospheric standpoint, the employees weren't overly nice or particularly rude so no complaints there, and the location is great as there aren't any other coffee shops in a reasonable walkable distance. read more

What has happened to this place? It used to be such a lovely coffee shop with good vibes and thoughtfully prepared drinks. What I experienced on my latest visit here was depressing and makes want to write off the whole place altogether. There was no real servingware for their drinks, only paper cups. Which is ok for a drip coffee on the go, but how are you going to sit in the shop and savor a thoughtfully prepared flat white or similar in a shitty paper cup? If you're going to be premium, be premium. read more

I stopped in here for a pick me up on a rainy afternoon and it was lovely. Not crowded, plenty of table space. Not too loud either so good for working! I got a latte with dulce de leche syrup. So good!! The perfect amount of sweetness. Staff was super friendly. I will be back! read more

Incredible ambiance, inventive lattes, great smells from the bakery. The only reason I removed a star was the lack of gluten free options. They had an impressive selection of alternative milks. The yellow lighting and bricks created a woodsy, old fashioned feel. A gorgeous and brightening coffee shop for a rainy day. Conveniently located next to a cute thrift shop and lots of parking.

Had an opportunity to grab a latte from this location and the airport location. Great coffee. The online ordering option wasn't the best interface. I was unable to select a specific pick up time as the system was defaulted to their operating hours. As a result, my coffee was a bit cold when I picked it up. I think this needs to be fixed so that patrons can order ahead and specify the time they would like to pick up their coffee instead of adding a note at the end and hoping that the staff catch it. Otherwise, an overall great experience. read more

Updated post... so I must say that after my review, one of the owners reached out to me to learn more about my experience. I cannot express enough about how special that was. This let me know that the owners have a certain level of experience expected when it comes to their customers. The owner was receptive of what I had to say and extremely gracious in apologizing for the experience. I explained that everyone is just not that person to give you that customer experience and I get that but it also leaves a certain taste in your mouth. Well, I have experienced the coffee again and this time I brewed it at home and let's just say; the coffee is delicious. Thank you to the owners of 8th & Roast for winning me over. I will be back :-) Thanks read more
