    I NEVER finish my coffee. It's such a bad habit, especially because coffee is so expensive these days... but let me tell you I finished my iced "warm and fuzzy" latte with ZERO difficulty!!! Coffee is amazing here I highly recommend if you're just visiting the area and are in need of a good pick-me-up. The avocado toast was also amazing, the garlic aioli added so much flavor and yumminess. The staff are nice and the place is very clean and cute. Go visit Bongo Java!!! Happy eating :)

    So cute!

    Cute coffeehouse! I love that the barista took her time to add this pumpkin to my pumpkin spice latte

    Wandered into Bongo Java, a smidge hungry, looking for a place to work on my final papers. I ordered the Egg McBongo, partially because I liked the name and partially because I was intrigued that it was served on a browned butter english muffin. It was a very simple breakfast sandwich (just egg, cheese, bread) but it was ridiculously good. I also ordered a seasonal drink, called "Our Drink"- the components I remember were cinnamon, brown sugar and salt (!) -- I got mine with whole milk and loved every sip. The next day I returned and ordered the same beverage with oatmilk and it was nowhere near as good (and $8). My tips for Bongo Java: Go with Whole Milk DO NOT, whatever you do, ask for a straw. They will look down their noses at you like you are an earth-hating turtle murderer.

    Amazing coffee!! Cool to be able to try such a hidden gem in a great area. We sat outside and it was a special and unique experience. Prices weren't outrageous, either! Staff was super friendly and even made great suggestions on what we should try. I'll be back soon! 10/10

    I couldn't decide between a few signature lattes so the team recommended lavender almond. I'm glad I took their recommendation. Fabulous! Love the location & vibe.

    My sandwich was deliciouso!!! The amount of pork and eggs and all the fillings was so flavorful. It was good and filling. So glad bongo Java collaborated with Egg Drip. Good combo for sure!!

    I've never like Bongo Java but decided to come since the other cafes in the area were too busy. I was extremely nauseous and wanted a bagel but I guess they changed their menu... the egg drop menu is interesting and the sandwiches are cute. Way too expensive for the taste tho. My friends matcha was chunky and gave her heart palpitations. There are lots of tables so I would recommend if you need a place to study!

    My sister took me to Bongo Java by her campus at Belmont University for a coffee and work date! I LOVED the cute interior with lots of tables and all the sweet smells of the cafe. I got a simple iced mocha which honestly wasn't the best I've had, but I couldn't get enough of the Good Mornin' BLT sandwich!! It was a classic BLT with a twist including aioli and a fried egg on a wheat bagel. The space was filled with lots of college kids and made for a great, calming work environment. Staff was friendly, but parking was a bit tricky considering it was a weekend and only street parking was available.

    Conveniently located in the Belmont University district, Bongo offers a large variety of coffees and breakfast options. We opted for an Irish Cream with hazelnut and an iced raspberry latte with almond milk. Customer service was great, each server was friendly and down to earth. The coffee is smooth and nutty. A nice local establishment that should be supported. They also sell bags of coffee if you'd like to enjoy it at home.

    They served their own house-brand coffee. We ordered the mocha and a local latte; both were rich and full-body, with just right sweetness.

    Charming atmosphere with good service, reasonable prices (for Nashville, anyway) and some great food items and coffee drinks.

    Quiet little coffee shop, very friendly employees. The coffee was great, as well as the snacks. Worth the visit!
