    Delicious gourmet coffee in a cool, hip place we found while in Nashville! The space is so coño ok with different memorabilia from decades past. I live their bubbly water machine. You can try sparkling water with different flavors. And for free! The service was very friendly and courteous.

    Interior is pretty cute, one of the better options within walking distance of all the hotels in downtown Nashville for breakfast. Friendly staff. I got a chai latte and oats. Chai latte was pretty good. Wouldn't recommend the oats as it was basically drenched in berry puree. Since it is attached to a hotel pricing is more than normal.

    Dawn Cafe is such a cute little coffee shop in downtown Nashville! This awesome coffee shop is located inside Bode, which is this super cute hotel. I would have never know it was here if it wasn't because our friends were staying at this hotel. Dawn Cafe has this amazing rustic chic vibe which is super inviting. Besides their amazing coffee menu, they also have multiple refrigerator full with snacks, and others beverages, which was great since we were going on a long walk and I needed some to-go snacks. For my first time here I decided to order their iced chai tea which was made to perfection! Their food menu also looked pretty good, but unfortunately didn't have time to check that out.

    The coffee here was just okay -- nothing too special, kind of mid compared to other coffee spots I've tried. What really stood out though was the design and decor of the café. It's super aesthetic, with a cozy and chill atmosphere that makes it a nice place to hang out or get some work done. The nature-inspired touches add a very cool vibe. I'd probably come back more for the ambiance than the coffee itself. The egg bacon and cheese croissant was good. The workers were nice and very patient about the experience.

    This is such a cute coffee shop. Nice array of coffees, some with liquor. It's very bright with huge windows. It's very chill and I saw many people working on their laptops. There's an outdoors sitting area to enjoy the weather. They have a station for sparkling or flat water (which is a nice option) the market has candles and a really nice lotion for sell. As we sipped our coffee we played a card game, but had the option of checkers, tic tic toe, and cards against humanity. It's fairly close to many hotels and on a sunny day iit's what the doctor ordered.

    Very mid. You have to pay for parking. Music is too loud for studying. However they have nice seating and a good sandwich

    A great place to stuck when it's pouring outside! Which is what happened to me, but talk about a happy accident. The staff here is super friendly and the coffee they serve is strong! This cozy hotel lobby coffee shop gives off fall European cabin vibes... or maybe it was just the pumpkins they had sitting outside? They also have a decent list of menu items to you're looking to snack or want a happy hour drink. Yes, they have booze! I believe they do a daily happy hour at 5 with wine and charcuterie boards. Definitely a repeat coffee shop for me!

    Loved this cute little coffee shop! My boyfriend and I were heading out to and decided to grab a little coffee and some snacks. WOW, the food was incredible, the coffee was amazing and the vibes were immaculate. Highly recommend Dawn Cafe, you won't regret it!!

    Stopped by this cute coffee shop on the way out of Nashville. There is plenty of seating inside and outside (with fire pits). We ordered iced mocha oat milk lattes and they were really tasty! You get free parking for up to 2 hours, which is convenient. Happy with my visit :)

    I stopped into Bode Hub for a late night bite, and I really enjoyed my visit. There's an outdoor seating area that's really nice, but I was visiting late, so it was dark and a bit chilly, and I opted to stay inside. The indoor area is roomy with lots of seating. There's a full bar and plenty of non-alcoholic options for drinks as well. They have a small, but ranging, menu of food to order, and plenty of snack items to purchase from the shelves. They also have lots of souvenirs and travel items for purchase, so it's a great spot to check out if you've forgotten to pack something, or you're looking for something fun to take home with you. I ordered Pretzels & Beer Cheese and a Topo Chico. The server opened my beverage for me and told me to have a seat anywhere. They weren't busy during my visit, so I actually moved around the space a bit to check it all out. My food didn't take long, and it came out (very) hot and fresh! I enjoyed the pretzels, and the beer cheese had a nice consistency and flavor. I flipped through some local magazines while I dined, which I really enjoyed, so I appreciated them having those lying around. If I find myself staying within walking distance again I will definitely come back to this spot to check it out during daytime hours. I want to explore the outdoor area a bit more and try some more of their menu. If you're in the area you should check it out!

    Looked for a dog-friendly breakfast place on google. Picked this place. After a long walk, we were greeted with a sharp we don't allow dogs per the owner. Nobody on patio and a quiet little dog at a picnic table and we were most unwanted. Fine. Outdoor table at Starbucks was great!

    Food: bagel cream cheese, oat milk latte, drip coffee (not pictured) and London fog

    Outdoor friendly, shaded seating, trendy and relaxed. Staffing was very friendly. Secluded and right at the heart of downtown.

Located in the Gulch, it was just a short Uber ride from our downtown area hotel. Before we were even seated we were already enchanted with the adorable 'cow bee' t-shirt. Get it? Milk and honey? Cute huh? Our table of 7 women ordered a variety of brunch sandwiches and biscuits. While everyone enjoyed their meals, I can only give specifics on what I ordered. I had the Mr. Croissant with home fries, and because I wanted to try the biscuits, I also added a biscuit with honey and butter to my order. The croissant and biscuit were great. Next time, I'd give a miss to the included home fries and opt for the fruit instead. My vanilla bean latte was very good and my friend loved her mocha. To celebrate the Birthday Girl, we ordered two bottles of champagne and two flights of juices to make mimosas. We all took homemade strawberry pop tarts to go. We loved the vibe, service, and food and will happily return the next time we are in Nashville!

They have started doing a little better about having outlet options, but mainly at those tall, long skinny tables. The ones that aren't necessarily great for working because they're so high up and can make your legs feel weird after awhile. Haha. The other semi complaint I have is that they close early. 3 pm is early when you want to try and work. Drinks are good. I don't drink a ton of coffee these days, but what I've had there was good. I get either their chai or matcha. Both of those I enjoy! I had a sandwich there recently. I wanted to roll my eyes at the price truthfully. However, when it came.. WOAH. It was GIANT. I was thoroughly impressed. It was really really good. I had to take half of it home and put it in the fridge. When I came back home hours later... it was STILL GOOD. The bread was not soggy either! That's HUGE! Ok so overall, I highly recommend this place and it's one of my go to spots.
