They could use a few more wall decorations, but again they just opened so I am sure it is a work in progress. I love the fact that they include all dietary options. They have dairy free ice creams, no sugar ice creams, and gluten free cones and cookies. Way to go Tennessee Central on that!!!

It started as a goat soap shop and now is expanded to have lots of amazing items as well as drinks, baked goods and sourdough sandwiches.

We also were fortunate to buy some sourdough to take home. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is chill and yet refined. We went often and enjoyed seeing the goats and interacting with them a bit. It is a great spot for a coffee, baked good or food plus some soaps and other items. Definitely worth a stop!

Vibes - I really liked the interiors like just a couple of wooden tables and chairs, a shelf with books, and a little merchandise on display. The café has good street parking, which was such a relief. Bites - My husband got a bagel with eggs, and I chose a bagel with herb cream cheese. The bagels were cheap, but when I saw the size, I understood why. A bite in, I could tell they weren't the freshest. They weren't stale, just a bit drier than usual. I did, however, really like the herb cream cheese. I also ordered a mocha, which was pretty mediocre. Service - The staff was polite, though the food took a little longer than expected. I noticed some coughing while we were there, and with flu season going around, it did make me slightly concerned.

They have a good variety of brews suitable to please all the spectrum of drinkers from Seltzers, Stouts, Ales, to hoppy ass IPAs. And they even have coffee if you want to skip the booze. You are free to get a taste before deciding as well. The fella behind the pours was really nice and loved that he used his face and head jesters to let me know if he liked a certain brew or not ;) Say no more, sir!!
