    Really cute space and great drink concepts but felt like my matcha wasn't as strong as I'd like and felt a bit watered down. My friend's cold brew also wasn't very strong either. Friendly staff though and appreciated that they let us bring in other food to have with our drinks we ordered!

    This was my first time stopping into this location, and the employees are just as lovely as the other spots! I placed an order ahead of time, and I ran in to grab my matcha before work. Ordering in the app made it so easy! Their seasonal banana bread matcha might be my favorite of their seasonal drinks! The nuttiness of the oat milk I added perfectly complimented the banana flavor. Their seasonal matchas are perfect because they are never overpowered by the additional flavors.

    Stopped here on a whim while I've been in town for work and couldn't be happier with the choice! Very fun and varied menu both with food and drink, it's inside of a quiet little indoor business center building it seems. The staff is very nice, happy to give suggestions or give you a minute to ponder. I tried their iced maple pear matcha and honestly haven't had the heart to change my order, it's SO wonderful, very subtly sweet and refreshing. I've tried their pastries, overnight oats, and Cesar wrap, and ALL a hit! Their kitchen does close 2 hours before they close (rightfully so), so try to get there early to try their food, SO GOOD!

    I thought this was a nice cute coffee spot near our Hotel in Nashville with lots of options and plenty of seating. I opted for an iced green tea which was great, the service was also very fast! I'd definitely recommend it for a quick coffee stop!

    Helpful & friendly people working a Saturday morning. Excellent mocha. I asked for a mocha and it was fantastic, unlike most big chain stores it was just chocolate syrup and great coffee (instead of sugar, sugar, a hint of chocolate, and burnt coffee). I had a chocolate croissant, the chocolate on it was good, the pasty was fresh, extra flakey, and very tasty. The only way to make it better would be for it to be warm. The place was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Plus they have stickers & pins.

    Waited an hour to get a bacon, egg and cheese Biscuit. I know things happen, but they waited a long time to notify us what on what occurred which was they were ringing up order but the kitchen was in the dark. They weren't seeing the orders up on their screens. The bacon egg and cheese biscuit was delicious but the time delay was not very memorable.. The place looked glam, & kept up.

    A scaled down version of their east Nashville and Germantown locations (in size, not in menu options). This is perfect for on the go if you work downtown or are walking Broadway and printer's alley but need a caffeine pick me up. Staff is extremely friendly and great to chat with. You have to pick up their iconic honey bear cold brew when you go!

    Cutest coffee! Staff was super friendly and plenty of spots to sit. The Honey Bear Cold Brew is one of the best things on the menu

    The pumpkin honey bear was so good, 10/10 and my partner got the expresso old fashioned which he thought was okay. Love the vibes, barista was helpful and friendly.

    If you are going to charge $7 for a hot latte don't serve it lukewarm and short on espresso. Otherwise slow but nice service.

I've genuinely never had anything like them before. My husband called them "cinnabon on steroids" The pastry was light, warm, airy, and perfectly soft. Then the gooey pecan topping was sooo good, and the cream cheese icing on the side tied everything together perfectly. Absolute chef's kiss. Honestly, order this when you come here.

    I've been wanting to try this place for ages, but it always seemed packed. Well, today (Memorial…read moreDay) was no different. I tried to swing by around ten minutes to noon, but it was a disaster. There were heaps of people waiting outside, and it didn't look promising. I went to the hostess stand and asked the guy if I could get a table for one, and he said, "Oh, you can sit at the bar; it's open seating. There's one open seat right there!" So, I walked through and was approached by another worker who asked me what I was doing. I told her the guy said I could sit at the bar, and there was an open seat, even though I never saw one. I did see open seats outside at the bar, though. The bar has two sides, one outside and one inside. It seemed alright; it wasn't too hot or humid, so I went. There were dirty dishes all over the place, and I sat down. Another worker asked me, "Are these dishes yours?" Which seemed a bit strange because the guy works the bar and wouldn't he have known the person sitting there before me left them? Anyway, I said no, and he cleared them. I then waited about 5 minutes before another worker skillfully wiped the bar of debris and then got three menus and three sets of silverware (two more guys sat down next to me) and asked me if I wanted water. I said, "Yes, please." She went off, and then shortly after, I saw the same guy come with a menu and a set of silverware and a water. Thumbs up for the water but thumb down for the slowness. I saw the menu and was torn between pancakes and biscuits. I didn't really want anything heavy, so I got the biscuits and gravy but added an egg. I also got a coffee. The wait time for the food was super quick, and the food was really good. The biscuits are small, and they're okay. The egg was good, but it's kinda hard to mess up an egg. I saw the food the people sitting next to me got, and it looked amazing! Pancakes, etc. Overall, the service was pretty bad, but the food was good. I saw no sense of urgency in the workers when they were obviously swamped. I might come when it's not so busy next time. Side note, maybe I'm showing my age, but the price of regular drip coffee was a bit steep. ($4).

I'll start off by saying I'm not the biggest fan of pancakes, nor cinnamon and have to be in the mood for both. Today happened to be the day. I tried their pancake sampler, with cinnamon, Caribbean and banana bread pancakes. They were all good, fluffy, airy and flavorful. Banana bread with their maple syrup, Caribbean with cinnamon. But, their cinnamon pancakes were amazing!! Those were definitely the winner!!! Best pancakes I've ever had. Their three pig omelette was pretty bomb as well. I got some of their sausage gravy on the side, to douse the omelette and that was definitely the move there. I think this is the first time I didn't need to use cholula for flavoring. The location is centralized, set up nicely, with huge open indoor space with plenty of seating outside. The service was great as well. Attentive and fast. All in all, I wish I had the time to come here yesterday, so I could try something different today. But, I took the place for everything it had and it definitely delivered. Highly recommend and I will be back, when I'm in the area for sure!

And honestly? It completely lived up to the hype. When we got there, there was already a line outside, which honestly made us nervous at first, but the staff was super organized and the line moved surprisingly fast. We were seated in less than 10 minutes even though the place was packed. And this was around 11 AM on a Tuesday, so I can only imagine how busy weekends get. The service here was honestly the highlight of the whole experience. Our waitress was SO friendly, funny, and genuinely welcoming. One of those people who instantly makes you feel comfortable and taken care of. You can tell the staff here knows how to handle a busy restaurant while still making customers feel special. I ordered the veggie omelette with blueberry pancakes, and my boyfriend got the Three Little Pigs omelette with a banana pancake. We also ordered coffee to go with everything and wow... such a comforting, satisfying breakfast. The blueberry pancakes were fluffy, buttery, and filled with sweet blueberries in every bite, while the banana pancake had that perfect caramelized banana flavor that tasted homemade in the best way possible. And PLEASE do yourself a favor and try the cinnamon syrup with the pancakes. It was insanely good and honestly took the pancakes to another level. Sweet, warm, buttery, with the perfect cinnamon flavor... I could probably drink that syrup by itself. What impressed me most is that despite how full the restaurant was, our food came out in less than 20 minutes. Everything felt efficient without ever feeling rushed. This is one of those places where yes, the food is really good, but what truly makes you want to come back is the service and atmosphere. Overall I loved the entire experience, and the next time I come back to Nashville, I already know I'll be returning here.
