it's own little multiverse. Very cool spot. I have to admit that the porsche is what drew me in. upon entering, one of the associates encouraged me to get inside of the car which is exactly what I wanted to do, so that was pretty cool. the rest of the shop is a women's boutique&small bookstore which had some unique variety that we enjoyed. you could spend a lot of time here, and the vibe is that they want you to. lovely place to hang out and find some gems for your bookshelf or closet.

Very cute coffee shop bookstore. You can browse through clothes, antiques, and even see a car at this cafe! Nice spot to sit down at after walking downtown.

this place was so aesthetically pleasing. it was clean and organized. i had the matcha with oat milk and simple syrup, 8/10. my dad just had the drip coffee and he said he really enjoyed it. the people were so nice and friendly, love.

Not so much a coffee shop. More of a retail store. And watch your step! Some hidden steps. Prices for retail goods were pricey. I was there for the coffee which I felt was a small selection and not a flavor I particularly cared for. Sign was smaller to find. Coming from the other direction, I almost missed it.

The best kept coffee secret in Nashville. Shhh... Fast Times Coffee is a gem! It's tucked between two clothing stores and is a bit hidden, but the coffee is delicious. The staff are super friendly and there's rarely a line. The coffee is delicious and my daughter was impressed with their homemade almond milk. She said it was the best she'd ever had. The vibe is cool. The small coffe shop includes hundreds of artsy coffee table books for you to peruse or buy. There are no seats inside, but there are several on the patio. I'd highly recommend you try Fast Times Coffee next time you're in 12 South.

A coffeeshop that really brings the aesthetic as it's attached to a clothing store, Buck Mason! Staff was super friendly and great to talk to. The menu is super simple, no frills coffee which allows them to make your drink efficiently! They make their own almond milk in the store as well! I took one star off for available seating. Since this does share a space with the store, it's hard to hang out like a normal coffeeshop but is nice if you want a warm drink while you walk around and look.

It shares a space with Buck Mason in what looks like a house that was converted into a store/coffee shop.

If you love this place, then you totally understand the hype to it however, if you're like me and…read moreyou were introduced to this from another person who absolutely adores it, but you don't care for places like this you find it confusing. So this is a massive bookstore, music store, video store, toy store that specializes in buying used items and reselling them. So if you have an aversion to musty dirty used items, this is not your place. Which I happen to have. However, this is not McKay's fault. It is a great place to offload things you don't need and get a little cash on the side. I have a touch of sensory bias, which is why it's difficult for me to enjoy it. But I totally understand why others do. If you are planning on selling stuff, make sure you get there early. If not, when they open there will be a line not of people wanting to sell stuff just people wanting to get in there to check out anything new that came in the night before. It is always busy so do not expect to come and it not be packed. If that is an issue for you probably not your place. But a big plus is the parking lot is absolutely massive. You will find a parking spot regardless of how busy it is. And to that I give it five stars.

I was so excited to get back to McKay's for the first time in years. I was completely taken aback…read moreby the prices of books here now. Many books I found were overpriced for used books. There's no pricing system based on book condition, which would be nice. You may find a book in fair condition and pay the same amount for the same book in excellent condition. Customer service was great as always.

Randy is a great guy. Don't listen to bad reviews. Those people are mental. Probably the best book…read morestore in all of nashville especially if you like antiques. I've been going for years and I've never been disappointed. He's very helpful. Maybe some people just have a bad attitude or they take him the wrong way and get their little fragile feelings hurt. Just disagree with his opinions if you don't like it and move on. Some people are way too judgemental, if you wanna spew your political opinions then open your own store. Anyway, he can drive a hard bargain for some books but he's often willing to come down on the price and make deals. I've never had a bad experience.

Only operates from 10 am to 3 pm Selection was crammed with…read morerepeat sets of civil war books strewn all over the store. No deliniation between historical fiction and biographical accounts. Pricing placement inconsistent. Some are written inside the cover. Some are on stickers stuck to the cover. Leather bound books in antique cases and stacks of old maps facing external windows and exposed to direct sunlight Clerk was loudly speculating on what another customer might have stolen or damaged the second he left after speaking to them. Came up besides me to peer out the windows muttering as she wondered which way he went. Owner loudly speaking at length on the phone about the brilliance of Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest, famous ignorant brute. Audible from every part of the store. Children's books were only kept in the furthest sections from the door and counter, on the top two shelves. Shelves and sections poorly marked. I asked the clerk where I could find anything by Robert E. Howard. She said she didn't know where anything was in here and brought me to ask the owner. When I asked where to find anything by Robert Howard, he just sneered at me and asked what kind of author that was. I explained he was a fantasy and historical fiction author and contemporary of Edgar Rice Burroughs, whose works I had been able to find. The owner waved me away and said at the end of the aisle there were a few fantasy books but he usually doesn't keep that kind of thing. We were standing next to a leather bound collection of stories of the Knights of the Round Table. When I got to the directed section, there was a single hardback collection of Harry Potter stacked neatly and a few produce boxes of 1965-1985 pulp science fiction novels, mostly missing their covers, haphazardly stacked on top of each other and bending and warping the books underneath. The shelf next to it was empty. Ends of shelves were crowded with printed out memes taped up in place, some self-congratulatory about being one of the few people in this day and age who still read, some fart jokes, some complaining about President Biden, and some suggesting that there were more white slaves captured and brought from Persia than black slaves brought from Africa. They have a lot of old and rare books, yes, but they don't take care of them, do not preserve collections consistently, do not sort their books into accessible formats, and do not provide a welcoming environment for incoming patrons.
