I was pretty hesitant to try the Frothy Monkey after seeing the lower reviews but we did anyways and I'm so glad! The reviews don't do this restaurant justice and we were really pleased. We arrived after what seemed like a morning rush. The service was wonderful and everyone was really attentive and kind. Everyone was really happy with their meals but the smash burger specifically was absolutely incredible. The meat was tasty, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. Looking forward to our next time in Nashville, aswe'll definitely be back! read more

Second time we've been here and it's was just as good this time as the last. Great welcoming staff that make you feel like you're at your local cafe. I had the French Toast thick bread smothered in Black and Blueberries my wife had the Gail Salad (chicken breast, feta, mashed avocados, strawberries Lemon-garlic vinaigrette) and smoked Gouda grits. Both amazing. Next time in Nashville we'll be back. read more

Super cute spot! I stopped by in the am and it packed! I walked out cause it was too crowded. If you are ordering a drink only, it's the same lines as the food which is a con if you are trying to get in and out. THEY HAVE GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS!!! AND THEY WERE SO GOOD!! I also had a latte which was extremely good BUT. A but expensive-$7 is a lot for this drive but it was a fair size. Very busy local spot but I see why.. it's cute, in a great location and good! Street packing. It's in downtown so hit or miss-I walked. read more

I really wanted to like this spot, but my experience was a real disappointment. I ordered the quinoa and black bean burger, and it completely lacked flavor. Just because it's vegetarian doesn't mean it should be bland--this one had no seasoning at all. I've had plenty of house-made veggie burgers at other restaurants that were absolutely superb, but here it felt like they relied entirely on the vegan cheese for flavor. Unfortunately, the cheese itself had a neutral taste, so everything fell flat. Honestly, I tasted more bun than burger. The side salad didn't help either--it was just a standard spring mix with a typical balsamic vinaigrette, nothing memorable. To make matters worse, there wasn't even salt or pepper on the tables; you had to ask for it, which tells me other diners also found the food under-seasoned. The only positive thing I can say is that the customer service was great--the staff were attentive and kind. Unfortunately, the food itself was bland and uninspired. Nashville has plenty of restaurants serving flavorful vegetarian and vegan options, but this just wasn't one of them. read more

Frothy Monkey - Finished it, but every bite was disappointing. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Arrived early into Nashville and needed coffee. Little did we know that we would find a cafe that services locally farmed foods. Also everything was reasonably priced. Especially being fresh ingredients. The Rosemary Latte sounded interesting and thought I would try it. It was pretty great and light. The coffee was great but the food was even better. I had to Biscuit and Chorizo Gravy. My friend had something else. But everything was fresh including the strawberry jam they used for my friends breakfast. This was a cute cafe and aesthetically pleasing. You can even purchase some of the art prints. The staff was friendly and kind. Highly recommend if you are in Nashville. read more

Their coffee and espresso top notch! You can taste the passion and propriety of good bean quality in each sip. I ordered a custom drink and they were easily accommodating! Hit the boss and helped me get on with my day. Cute space! I ordered a Caramel vanilla latte (hot)! read more

Got the loaded biscuits and chorizo gravy, bruh. This meal was delicious and when I leave Nashville I will leave wanting. If you're looking for a relaxed environment and good eats, this is a spot to try. Decided to be extra chunky and throw on some French toast after I finished the biscuits and gravy as I assume I wouldn't be disappointed. Guess what, I wasn't. Until next time Frothy Monkey, cheers. read more

What a great spot! I was in town for a few days and this was on my list of morning coffee spots to try. Walked in and just felt so comfortable. The space is big, but inviting, the folks behind the counter very nice, and my mocha was amazing. It was just sweet enough and the extra hot was indeed extra hot, which made me very happy on a cold morning. I would definitely come back here if I were ever in town again. It is convenient to many hotels and offices downtown. read more

After receiving a gift card to Frothy Monkey, I decided to place a to go order on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. I ordered the Betsy sandwich (chicken salad sandwich) and a hot latte, and it said it would take 35 minutes. When I arrived, I was pointed to a counter further in the restaurant for pickup. The restaurant was small but cute and staff were friendly. I enjoyed the chicken salad sandwich though I did find it a bit dry. The chips and salsa as a side were great. While I liked the taste of the coffee, it was not very hot. Even though the order said it would take 35 minutes, it seemed like it had been sitting out for a while. I would like to visit again and actually eat in the restaurant. read more

Frothy Monkey - This is what I ended up Getting and it was $6. I threw it away. Tasted horrible. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I got the Cali toast (avocado toast) for brunch and it was good! It's what you would expect to taste like with the ingredients. I'd say the balsamic on the salad is what makes this different from the normal avocado/egg toast! I ordered bacon with it and it did not disappoint. If we are nit picking, I would prefer the salad on the toast instead of on the side. They also have GF bread for celiac. My boyfriend who is GF and DF was able to get the barbacoa tacos with vegan cheese. He said it was really good! He just likes it crispy and it was on the softer side. Service was good, not too much traffic. Got a seat next to the window and just watched the world go by :) overall pleasant experience. read more

Best breakfast place I had when visit Nashville. To begin with the host was extremely friendly and helpful with recommendations on coffee. As soon as she seated me the server came around to take my order. The coffee was delicious and the best I had tried yet. The breakfast I ordered was cooked to perfection. Bacon was thick and crispy, sourdough bread was delicious and the grits were great. I went on a Saturday and it was busy so I suggest going early if you don't want to wait read more

It was so hot. I had to go in somewhere. and ended, here Frosty Monkey. Some girl was suggesting, I should get food first then sit down..etc. at the cashier I ordered ice tea and blueberry muffin. I got both while I was at the counter. So fast. The girl was suggesting I should sit upstairs or something. I walked into the back, sat one of many empty tables. Ice tea was so good! Bluberries in muffin also. I didn't want to go out into the hot. So I went to the cashier ordered Farm Breakfast which caught my eyes with Kentucky farm fresh eggs, etc. Then I asked any other than black tea if they have. Got answer No. With my second black tea I went back to my table. And wait. There seemed many staffs around counter. When I approached them they were asking me again again same things like whether I was ordering food, online order, etc. I told a few times I ordered my food at the counter earlier . One lady took me to the cashier to make sure I ordered, I think. I even pointed the guy who took my order. She showed me many order slips in front of kitchen and told me wait until my name was called. I was ready to get up ask again. That time a young guy sans Monkey tees on, came to me with a big brown paper bag . What's inside? It's cool inside of this cute trendy looking café. Bathroom was clean. Food was pretty good. Free Wifi with email address giving. Ende Gut Alles Gut! read more

Stopped by on a Monday morning per a friends recommendation. The staff was super friendly. I ordered the Havana latte as it has been their most popular and the barista was able to make it half sweet and less hot so I could drink it right away. The chocolate croissant pastry also had a brilliant shine, but unfortunately, I was not hungry yet and didn't try. read more

The coffee is the fantastic and we will definitely be coming back to get some to go. The latte with Rosemary honey was my favorite. The one with condensed milk and cinnamon was good too. The food was disappointing. My husband ordered the shrimp and grits and they were so salty it was almost inedible. There was supposed to be andouille sausage in it too but we did not get any. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. It was good but it was barely warm when it came to the table. I think there are better places to brunch in Nashville. read more

Frothy Monkey - Grapefruit juice, Biscuit Board, side of bacon - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

A really cute breakfast cafe/coffee shop with lots of breakfast/lunch options and sit-down and take-out options. When you walk in, they'll ask if you want coffee to-go or want to sit-down. As it's next door to Starbucks, Frothy Monkey can make an easy way to support local without having to go too far out of your way. I came craving an Omelet, but I wasn't super impressed with the one here. The omelet I had the next two breakfasts at other establishments really hit the craving. PROS: -One of the few places in this part of town displaying a gigantic Pride banner in its window. -I love how wholesome this place is. It *feels* like it's good for you and the Earth. They list out all of their local farms where they source their ingredients, and they have a note about being fair trade with fair wages. Everyone working there seemed like they were friends with one another, and there was lots of laughter. -Gigantic portions. When the omelet description said "made with 2 eggs", I figured I had better get an additional side. The omelet plus the included side of bread was MORE than enough to keep me full for 7 hours, though, and I definitely didn't need the additional side. -Service was really fast - and when I wanted to order a coffee to-go to end out my meal here, they easily managed that as the final part of my order. CONS: -They don't add much salt/pepper to their food, BUT they offer it for your table when your food is delivered. You can add your own seasoning to taste. Oh, and they offer hot sauce too - if you're the type of person who really wants to burn your mouth first thing in the morning. -My omelet came with my choice of a bread. I chose a biscuit. It was served cold - which was a really wild flavor compared to usual biscuits. -Omelet itself was just okay too. It was a bit light on the veggies and internal bits, tasting mostly like the egg itself. Depends on how you like your omelet. read more

Yummy coffee, fantastic breakfast and a great staff. Had a wonderful experience and à would recommend this place to anyone.

My wife and I each ordered a Betsy sandwich. The multigrain bread was dry, both of us found only one small bit of cranberry in the chicken salad. The side of chips was bland. Overall, the sandwich was not very tasty. The service was so-so. The water we requested was served at room temperature. No ice cubes! read more

All in all, 4/5 experience read more

Love the ambiance! The perfect weekend brunch spot, but also the perfect work spot! They have an upstairs loft that's perfect if you are wanting to get some work done, but the downstairs area is great for just dining with friends or family!

Our waitress was super kind and patient, and the food came out very quickly. Would definitely come again! read more

I heard Nashville has an up and coming cafe scene and wanted to check one out during our trip. Obviously, the name Frothy Monkey sealed the deal as the spot we would visit. Supposedly, Taylor Swift likes this place and if that isn't a quality endorsement, what is? I know I have been saying this a lot but all of the staff were obscenely nice and friendly. Everyone was friendly to us in Nashville but the staff HERE really outshines everyone else. It just puts you in a good mood tbh. I now realize how much of a bitch everyone is (including me) in NY lmao. We were lucky enough to snag a table as soon as we arrived. Their beverage/coffee menu blew me away. After some serious internal deliberation, I decided to order the Rosemary Honey Latte and it did not disappoint. GF ordered the Golden Monkey with steamed turmeric milk, honey, and cinnamon. This is inappropriately under "Signature Coffee Drinks" because I don't think it has coffee in it, which was a twist. Like another reviewer on here, we thought this was mainly a coffee place but as soon as we noticed it's actually a restaurant, and read some of the dishes, we couldn't help ourselves and ordered the Capri sandwich and smoked gouda grits to share. The sandwich was delightful. The bread was a softer texture and dusted with that flour that suggests it's legit AF. We elected to have egg whites in addition to a thin slice of mozz cheese that was warm and melty with a tomato and basil pesto. What a classic. The grits were tasty but were more grainy that that of other grits I have tried in Nashville. We really enjoyed our meal here. read more

Had dinner at Frothy Monkey on my last night in Nashville, and it was wonderful! I was so chickened out from eating so much Nashville hot chicken that I was craving fish/non-meat for my last meal, and Frothy Monkey had a very extensive dinner menu. I was debating between the Shrimp & Grits or Salmon & Quinoa, and ended up ordering the latter. The salmon is pan-seared on a bed of quinoa, raw red onions, and sun-dried tomatoes. I didn't care for the raw red onions, but the salmon was cooked perfectly and all of the ingredients tasted very fresh. I ended up ordering an iced Chai latte with skim milk to-go at the end of my meal, which was pretty tasty. read more
