Two young ladies at the counter couldn't even muster up a smile. No warm greeting, nothing. I ordered a chai tea latte and a chocolate croissant, which was put in a bag with no offer to warm it up, then the girl looked offended when I didn't tip her. The second young lady with blue hair put my drink on the counter and called out what I ordered, then picked up her phone. As I stepped up to get my drink, she never looked back up from her phone. The drink itself was nothing I would order again. read more

Their speciality espresso drinks are great. Excited that they are still open during covid given low traffic from the hotel. They also had plenty of available seating to stay and work which is a big plus, especially in current circumstances. read more

Food was alright--what I was able to eat. Presentation of food could be better. They use too much plastic--oversized containers that don't fit the food, plastic straws, etc; and get this, I even had plastic in my food! I added a bonus star because the cookie and muffin I ordered was delicious! But health and cleanliness come first! read more

I've gotta admit I was expecting Matthew McCoun-a-hey (too lazy to look up his actual last name, whatevs) playing naked and saying welcome to his place. The name for this place has Bongos and seriously you just never know nowadays. Once I entered I realized this place was a little hipster coffee joint that had to be compliant with the aesthetic and appeal of Omni guests. The view and high rise windows was great and I enjoyed the complimentary water and toaster at customer's access. Honestly, now that I think about it... this is the first time I've seen a coffee shop with a toaster laid our for the public. The coffee was decent enough to get the job done but it wasn't a "Holy amaze-balls put an IV in me and shoot me up with your caffeine RIGHT NOW" --- picture the adorable little girl from The Exorcist saying this. I still blame the Mom in that movie for making her perform for her drunk guests. What I did enjoy though was the old school games they had available for you to play with and let your inner (board)gamer on! I sure as heck don't know how to play an XBox 5? (last system I had was a Nintendo 64); however, give me the board game CLUE and I will bust out my sleuth cap and get to business. It must've been a sight seeing four grown men arguing and getting intense over Clue but being hungover and slightly intoxicated will do it for ya. This spot is close to some main attractions so I'm all game for this spot for a quick fix, not the Courtney Love kind. So run in and sip out if you need some coffee around this area! read more

I'm not much of a coffee guy, but starting my day at Bongo Java Omni is something I could get used to. This location seems to have mastered the art of getting people in and out with a quickness without sacrificing courtesy. I attribute this to the Downtown location. Business folks and conventioneers need to get their things post haste and I can appreciate the efficiency. It's also a good place to go for an early morning start. Figuring that I should begin my day with a semblance of health, I created a routine: a fruit cup (thankfully more than just melon pieces and the occasional berry), an everything bagel with herb cream cheese (admittedly, a different approach than most; you have to toast your own bagel and the cream cheese comes in a pre-fab cup rather than schmeared on to the bread. I understand the efficiency but I can't say that I'm a fan. I'd rather they toast my bagel and spread my cream cheese) and a West End (mmm, honey). Simple. Tasty. Fast. This is the way to start your day. read more

Loved having this coffee spot in our hotel for our convenience. It's a full service location as it has some lunch items in their cooler as well as breakfast/snack items and artisanally crafted coffee items made to order by baristas on duty. It's super spacious and great for large groups of people. There's a loungy area towards the back close to the tv. What I thought rather unique was the record player at the front of the shop playing records (YES RECORDS) . On the day we went, it was the Beach Boys as the original album cover was on display. You definitely won't see that at Starbucks! We never saw any super long lines on our multiple visits here during our stay but brace yourself anyways due to the high amount of business folks and conventions that do come to town and stay at this hotel. read more

First- the coffee was amazing. I tried two of their specialties. The west end- local honey, cinnamon, espresso and milk. As well as the Broadway- whisper creek Tennessee springs cream caramel, espresso & milk. Both really amazing. However, I was a little disappointed with their pastries and having to toast bagels myself I was not a huge fan of. The service was great, everyone was super friendly! read more

The atmosphere is quite nice; the barristers not exactly welcoming; the coffee warm (do they know what temp a coffee should be brewed?) ; the flourish on the top of the coffee - well, it made me think my coffee had been sitting somewhere for a short while before they called my name to come up and get it; over-priced (5+ for a smaller cup of their signature drink). With so many coffee places to choose from, I chose this one. I won't go back. read more

Bongo Java - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

For a coffee house inside a major hotel, Bongo Java really brings out the local Nashville flare. I had 4 out of their 6 specialty lattes listed on the chalkboard. I could not resist! Unfortunately I can't remember the name but it was their version caramel chocolate latte made with Tennessee sipping cream and homemade caramel sauce. It was delicious. The space is large with plenty of seating. The atmosphere is laid back, especially when they throw down an LP on the turntable. Talk about nostalgic, this is a cool place with a friendly staff. read more

The coffee is really good, and the service is even better. The people that work here go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I appreciated the recommendations about places to visit. They have some special drinks that I was skeptical to try but curious about, so they let me try the sauce they use to make the drink. They also have a vegan muffin and both almond and soy milk. Great coffee shop! Definitely stop by if you are staying at the Omni or nearby! read more

Yum! Great little coffee shop inside The Omni Nashville. While staying in Nashville for a work conference, we had little time for breakfast before work. Since I'm in the Omni loyalty program, they offer free drinks in the mornings and you can get a free specialty coffee here as part of that program. I've gotten specialty iced lattes the past two days, both of which have been so good. One morning I ordered the hot ham & cheese quiche which was good, although a little greasy (crust made with Crisco, I think. ) Today I tried a bacon, egg & cheese sandwich on an English muffin. It was rich, but delicious! The homemade muffins were also very good. Yum! Glad they have this place so convenient in the Omni! read more

I've been in to this coffee shop twice. Both times have been busy weekends, but very efficient and quick. Lovely lattes and service both times too! read more

So my former fave coffee place was frothy monky and the rosemary honey latte, but at the omni the coffee place was called bongo java and I think they have others in the city and they had some BOUJEE lattes which I loovvveee. I had one called the impeached and it was bomb.com. read more

Love Bongo Java, but this location is crippled in one very important way. Tried to go here to get some work done (you know, why pretty much everyone goes to coffee shops) and the internet was so throttled down that I couldn't do anything. I wasn't trying to surf Facebook or YouTube - the most basic completely text-based websites were having trouble loading. The only other person in here is reading a stack of papers, so I'm the only one on the network too. Asked the barista, and he told me a lot of people have been complaining of the same. I speculate that the Omni wants to encourage you to pay the $10 for their internet day pass so they are throttling Bongo Java's network. If you're in the area or even staying in the Omni, Nashville is full of great coffee shops and you should definitely skip over this location for doing any work that requires an internet connection. Nearby, you could try Pinewood Social, Crema, or Frothy Monkey. If you're just going here for a coffee or tea, don't hesitate. Bongo java is great! read more

Love that the Omni has an original Nashville coffee shop instead of a chain business. The wait can be long and the prices are high, but the espresso drinks are rich and foamy. Love the specialty menu of espresso drinks with honey and cinnamon. Nice places to sit and work as well. read more

What kind of facility (bongo Java) still uses the reply when you pay with cash that says...." sorry sir, we don't have any coin change", when asked why the reply is ...."there's a national coin shortage". I Proceeded to pay with a card for a bottle of water. That's so lazy and so 2020. Such a derilection of duty by management to have not change for drinks, unless its intentional to add to the bottom line. read more

My favorite group of baristas of any shop in town by far. Personable and professional with just the right amount of grunge. The coffee is lit also. They also have unique flavor combos on the signature drinks that you won't find elsewhere, even at other bongos. read more

Spot on coffee served by knowledgable barristas,not snotty teenagers that don't even care if they get your name spelled right. I refuse to give money to that billionaire bigot Howard Schultz - and would rather spend twice as much at a family run place that sources their beans responsibly, rather than from Monsanto. I visited them twice at 6am this week and the coffee was fresh, hot and absolutely wonderful. I liked it so much I brought a bag home with me. Thanks Bongo! read more

This Bongo is possibly the best idea in Bongo history. The transplanting of the local charm from only the local spots, and it's insertion into a hot, hip, tourist district is genius. This raises Bongo of the level of so many faceless corporate competitors, and shows everyone what Nashville does best, in independent biz. read more

Wow, this Bongo is different from the other locations around town. If it wasn't so darn tasty, so darn fresh, and so darn efficient, I'd say it wouldn't work because they just are so different. Because it's in the Omni Hotel, it has to have a sense of class and purpose that the other locations don't need. They have to be prompt, understanding, and have a level of professionalism that isn't necessary in East Nashville or Belmont. The furnishings can't be a hodge-podge of tables and chairs, and the counter has to be sharp. And they pull it off when you think they not be able to. I love Bongo Coffee regardless, and the professionalism they put into it is a real plus. Give this place a go. Locals should appreciate the new face Bongo puts on it's hipster attitude, whilst travelers should expect an example of excellent locally roasted Nashville coffee. read more

I was impressed with the coffee at Bongo Java, which is located inside the Omni. Hotel coffee shops don't generally do anything for me but I was digging the beans at Bongo. The iced coffee was especially delish. Didn't love the toast your own bagel situation but I guess it keeps things moving faster when they are busy. The staff was very friendly and I swung by several times. Plenty of seating, too. read more

We dropped in after the Country Music Hall of Fame. Bongo Java is kind of over-priced (why is a yogurt parfait over $6? I have a feeling it's just kept in business by the Omni) For a place that is open until 7:00pm, they were out of all their pastries/muffins by early afternoon. I suppose you pay for the interior decorating. It's pretty cute, and there is plenty of space to do work or hang-out. read more

The guys here are great! They always have conversation with you, even though that can be hard being in a busy hotel. The coffee is consistent and you can tell they love what they do! I go to this location because it is close, but they have outside seating on 5th Ave and a very spacious seating area inside. It's a great place to do some work or to just stop in and get a quick coffee! read more
