Not sure what the hype is about all over TikTok for the White Bison when we looked up 12 South. The…read morefirst floor looks like a gas station convenience store and there is additional seating upstairs. When we went in, the two registers on the main floor were closed, and only the convenience store side was open. The coffee menu was not very big, but the service was good. The male barista was nice, and the vanilla latte was good. A lady was making a different drink and I saw her lick something off her finger before picking up the espresso cup and pouring it into a paper cup... I personally would not recommend this coffee shop to anyone visiting 12 South.

If you love unique pastries, this is a must-visit! There were so many creative donuts and pastries…read moreto choose from that I wanted to try them all. I ended up getting the Honey & Sea Salt Cragel (their croissant-bagel hybrid) - buttery, flaky, with just the right balance of sweet and salty. We also grabbed some iced latte, which paired perfectly with it. Definitely a spot worth stopping by while strolling along 12th street.

As we walked into The Salty, the aroma of fresh coffee and donuts was intoxicating. We were so…read morelucky to have gotten ahead of the crowd. We had just enough time to look at the menu and every delicious looking donut behind the glass case. We decided on the Honey & Sea Salt 'Cragel', Peach Cobbler Donut, Vanilla Bean Matcha Latte (iced) and Cappuccino. Wowza -- those donuts are YUM-azing!! I was especially blown away by that Peach Cobbler. It was packaged in a super-cute blue box and just as tasty as it looked. I could have eaten a dozen! Our drinks were quite good as well. My cappuccino was perfect. My daughter could not taste much vanilla in her Vanilla Bean Matcha Latte, but liked it anyway. The place got pretty busy while we were there. The area in general is very popular. As a result, parking can be challenging during peak times. They have several options for seating inside and outside. Overall clean and bright. The team members were polite and helpful. Pricing is on the higher end, but justified (IMO) for what we received.

I lived in Donelson in the 1990s and made frequent trips to Canada. But I never imagined decades…read morelater that my favorite Canadian coffee-shop chain would open an outlet in the heart of Donelson! From the mid-1970s to the summer of 2023, this property hosted a deplorable Krystal, a Nashville expansion project from a Chattanooga-based chain in which I had no interest. But on July 19, 2025, Tim Hortons officially debuted the state of Tennessee's first location here (after a soft opening on July 1). And with that, they converted the old Krystal building from an irrelevant and dated restaurant to a bright and shiny destination for Tim Hortons fans! And now, I can get my Canadian donut fix anytime I want! Being Tennessee's first isn't the store's only accolade. It's the only Tim Hortons within the Nashville city limits, one of four in the Nashville metro all lying in close proximity in the eastern suburbs. And greatest of all, it's the only Tim Hortons in the first 1,648 miles (70%) of eastbound Highway 70, one of America's longest roads connecting Arizona to the Atlantic Ocean. That makes it the westernmost Tim Hortons on all of Highway 70! And naturally, the Canadian maple donut is stupendous at this location. All the donuts are delicious, and the service is pretty good (depending on which employees are working). The door handles have hockey sticks, and the signpost out front is topped with a Canadian maple leaf. A mural inside pays tribute to one of the greatest NHL players who founded the company, the late Tim Horton (1930-1974). We're blessed to have Canada's largest fast-food franchise and the world's 25th largest with 6,000+ worldwide locations! It's a nice alternative to the other donut shop chains.

Definitely a great breakfast place. It's a chain and it's not local but, does a local own it? Just…read morebring this up because Caliber coffee is next door. This is cheap and good and I can't say the same about price for caliber. But to now the highlights and the shadows of Tim Hortons: Clean and spacious dining area. The bell needs to be moved to the back where the employees are and not right by the doors and "beep bleem" every time a customer walks in. Staff is friendly and helpful. They have a good selection of sweets and savory treats to choose from. Coffee is good but be careful. It's really HOT. I got the breakfast burrito and made it a combo. They have the option to make your sandwich a combo for $2.10 extra. It was good and it came with a salsa, good but I didn't need it. The burrito was good without it too. Bathroom is clean but only one. They seem to get busy inside but nothing overwhelming. Their drive-thru is busy but seems to move fast. Overall I am happy I stop by and checked it out. Definitely a place I can come by and work and get food. Come check them out!

It's quaint, and not meant to sit in and enjoy the donuts. The team member was kind and shared some recommendations. I don't know if the donuts had been hyped so much that I created high expectations or what not. I was very disappointed. The price is great - the most affordable donuts I think you'll find anywhere these days. I'll try again at some point with adjusted expectations or try another location. There's parking in the street nearby and in the garage. If you're out of the garage in about 15 minutes, you probably won't be charged. Love: service (kind, helpful) Dislike: apple fritter (dense and greasy)

Dutch Bros has been one of my favorite coffee stops ever since I discovered it years ago while…read moreworking in Davis, California. So when I spotted one in the Donelson neighborhood of Nashville during a work trip, I didn't hesitate to pull in. Fun fact: despite the name, Dutch Bros isn't from the Netherlands. It's an American coffee company founded in Grants Pass, Oregon, by brothers Dane and Travis Boersma. That Pacific Northwest coffee culture definitely shines through. It was exactly what I remembered--friendly people, fast service, fair prices, and consistently great coffee. If you're new to Dutch Bros, do yourself a favor and order the Golden Eagle. It's rich, creamy, perfectly balanced, and one of those drinks you find yourself craving long after you've finished it. They also have plenty of creative drinks if you're looking for something different, and they don't skimp on the espresso. If you need a caffeine boost before hitting the road, they've got you covered. What really keeps me coming back, though, is the people. Every Dutch Bros I've visited has been genuinely welcoming. The staff always seems happy to be there, and that positive energy makes a quick coffee stop feel a little brighter. Whenever I see a Dutch Bros on a road trip, I make it a point to swing through the drive-thru. It's become one of my favorite travel traditions. If you're passing through Nashville or you're lucky enough to have one in your hometown, put Dutch Bros on your list. I have a feeling you'll understand why so many people are loyal fans. Life is too short not to eat--or drink--well. Get out there and taste the world.

The coffee was okay but the prickly pear sparkling limeade was horrendous and went straight down the drain. The avocado toast was fine and the gf bread was not too dry to hold together. We also tried lox but they really do need to look into getting gf bagels. The lox on the gf bread didn't really work because they really skimped on the cream cheese. Like I mean a pitiful amount for 2 big thick pieces of gf bread. Also, we just finished eating and belly rumblings are already happening so the food may or may not have been cross-contaminated with gluten. We know this is a risk whenever we go out to eat but this is important for celiacs to know. Do I think we'd go again? No, its not worth the drive or the price.
