This was super refreshing for a hot day, it was a great mix of the matcha earthiness and the freshness of the watermelon water. I will say that the pricing is a bit steep at this shop, I really just got a matcha cold foam with watermelon water and this cost around $9 with tax. For me, that's a bit too expensive but the drink itself tasted great and the staff was super friendly!

It is your standard local bakery/coffee house in the sense that they serve up lots of tasty drinks, baked goods plus a good variety of other breakfast and/or lunch items. One thing I love about Ugly Mugs is usually their seasonal coffee menu, with the latest including their take on the Pecan-icano, being one of my favorites around Nashville. To side that, I got a muffin. It was standard, a tad dry, but a decent pairing with the latte. The vibe is trendy, but chill and definitely East Nashville. They have lots of seating indoors and then a few dedicated tables just outside. Service was friendly, but not super engaging, a bit transactional. I asked for a bit more details on the seasonal menu and didn't get much in return, still went for it, which was the right call. Overall, I enjoy Ugly Mugs and will certainly be back!

The selection of breakfast and pastry options is extensive and tempting. They have a ton of god gluten free and vegan options too. I ended up getting a vegan chocolate coconut scone because it looked better than any of the other treats, and it was so perfectly savory and sweet at the same time. The scone itself had a nice doughy saltiness to it that was matched by the sweet chocolate chunks! The lattes were good. I had a whole milk latte and appreciated the care they put into the art. Parking is quite crowded but people are constantly going in and out so you shouldn't have to wait long for a spot to open!

Since daring is my middle name, I took a chance on the fattest breakfast burrito I've seen since living in Arizona. Let me tell you, they flippin' nailed it! My mystery burrito turned out to be a bacon, potato, pimento cheese, and egg cornucopia of Heaven wrapped in the exact right type of tortilla. So word to the wise, take a chance...you might up with something incredible. Would I go back? Is Nashvegas the bachelorette party capital of the east? Most definitely.

They are ran mostly by families, they pay attention to the quality of what they serve and more often than not, have staff that genuinely enjoy being there. Once in a while, however, one encounters something truly remarkable that does not just break from the mold, but has that wow factor. Forevermore has that. Owned by a husband and wife duo, JP and Mary McLeod, Forevermore focuses on something that other places don't give much attention to: matcha. Ceremonial grade matcha of highest caliber imported from Japan. The couple lived in Uganda, Forevermore established as a project focused on sustainability. But, not only that, inside it is genuinely beautiful. There is a store of all kinds of cute things and the space feels like no other coffee shop. It's full of light, it's modern, yet also cozy. For those reasons, from the quality of drinks here, to the unbelievably beautiful ambiance and of course, kind staff, Forevermore is truly the ultimate place to enjoy a beverage.
