HONESTLY, LIKE SO GOOD! The craft coffees were so good! I don't normally go to the same place to order something different as I'd rather try another new place but this was the exception! I went back the following day to enjoy another hand crafted latte and it did not disappoint! The BLY sandwich was wonderful, it had a special aioli and (my mouth is watering as I type this) SOOOO GOOD! Ambiance was quant, clean, charming, modern and ... still can't get over the coffee. Honest is seriously the best, if you're considering trying this spot out, don't think, just do. I came with a group of friends and very on loved the service and the food. Totally worth it. Five stars! read more

Great coffee shop! I love how much seating there is, indoor and outdoor. The bar section gives it an elegance vibe. I went into the Factory craving a smoothie and by my surprise the coffee shop partnered with the local juice (Franklin Juice) and had fresh smoothies. My friend got their latte and said it was great as well. I would love to try their pastries next time I go. Tons of people working from the location. The staff was very friendly, I think I need to add this to my work from home rotation. read more

Located inside The Factory in Franklin, this is the perfect spot to start or end your shopping trip. You can grab a seat at the counter or a table, or take your cup and stroll the shops. I ordered the mocha, and it may have been the best mocha I've ever had. The staff was incredibly friendly with little to no wait time. If you're visiting The Factory, this stop is a must! read more

13 dollars for the most pitiful avocado toast. The coffee wasn't bad but not anything great. When I was walking out with the coffee to go home, somehow the cap popped off and the coffee spilled all over my shoes lol nice ambiance but not worth it for either the coffee or food. read more

I really like that this coffee shop makes their own syrups! I was really looking for a plain vanilla latte, but they mentioned that their house made syrup has almond in it as well. Service was good. It is a good spot to get work done, with plenty of seating! read more

My favorite part about this coffee shop is their homemade almond coconut milk. It is smooth, creamy, and the perfect flavor balance between almond and coconut. I love getting this milk in my latte. In terms of the coffee, it is solid. There's a lot of indoor seating and it gives off modern but cozy vibes. I love coming here to get some work done. read more

Nice coffee shop in the Factory. Just a word, the prices are on the higher side, probably due to great location. Coffees are good, the food is really good. I've had an açaí bowl and some of the Franklin toast (covered in fruit!). Both were really good and can certainly be a brunch that carries you till dinner. Lots of seating, you can also take your items and find seating in the factory. Nice spot so meet folks or just setup your remote work place. read more

Stopped in for a coffee between conference talks, and I was impressed. They had my drink ready incredibly fast, and the staff was super friendly. It does get pretty loud and crowded on the weekends, but honestly, that just adds to the fun vibe. My latte was delicious and reasonably priced. Definitely a great spot. read more

This place serves great coffee. It does not have that typical burnt and acidic taste like the other place that has a star and costs a lot of bucks, i will let you put that genius riddle together. This coffee is incredibly smooth and tasty. I had the Cubano (what else would this Cuban order) with the breakfast burrito. The burrito is filled with deliciousness and paired well with the coffee. The service was friendly and guided me with my order. It's a great place to hang out and people watch as they stroll by visiting the shops. read more

This is my favorite coffee shop as a local. Their housemade syrups and quality coffee standout to me. My go to order is the Iced First Lady latte. I love that it is not too sweet and the housemade vanilla almond syrup is the best. The service is great and quick. The shop itself is newly renovated and large selection of sitting. Franklin Juice company is also partnered with them here and sells their products. I recommend their Bombom açaí bowl! read more

Staff is kind! However, the matcha was incredibly bitter and not well combined. Also as expensive as the latte was, they do not offer basic flavorings for matcha such as vanilla-- just offered a simple syrup/honey if needed to mix myself. The ambiance is good, but the music is loud so it is difficult to enjoy yourself/friends read more

The Factory at Franklin is becoming one of my favorite places to explore. I was nearby for a meeting and decided to stop into HCR for a quick coffee and açai bowl. I've previously enjoyed their location inside L&L Market and was eager to check this spot out. Indeed, HCR was popping around lunchtime on a weekday! I placed my order and waited about 15 minutes for my food and drink. Thankfully, there's plenty of seating and plenty of outlets. I so appreciate that thoughtful addition for anyone working or studying remotely: I was able to hop on my laptop while I waited and knock out a few small tasks. My coffee came out first, and my food followed shortly after. I decided to try The First Lady (iced), which I liked, but wasn't my favorite flavor. It tastes a bit more like almond milk than almond extract. Next time I'd probably try something else. I also got the Big Island açai bowl with added strawberries. This is one of my favorite light lunches - and I love that HCR partners with Franklin Juice Co. to make these offerings possible. That said, I'm also a big fan of the HRC grilled cheese sandwich, and absolutely recommend adding on bacon. read more

I have been coming to Honest Coffee in the Factory for years. Seeing it evolve from its original smaller space into the beautiful, sprawling coffee bar it is now thrills me for whoever is behind the operation. They expanded wonderfully by retaining their original charm while also obviously leveling up the ambiance. This is the kind of coffee shop where I come to attempt mystery. I sit and moodily sip a latte while thumbing through a massive novel, all while secretly thinking maybe, just maybe, one of the handsome moustachioed Factory-dwellers will approach me and ask what I'm reading. And then I will tell him what I'm reading... fooooor as long as we both shall live. Jokes and romantic aspirations aside, Honest Coffee really is a lovely place to engulf oneself in a large latte and an equally large book. It's also the perfect environment for a chatty catch-up with a friend. One summer, I frequented Honest so often with a particular pal that we began saying our table should have a plaque fixed on it in our honor. I have so much warmth & good feeling to express towards Honest Coffee, that I must force myself to wrap it up. Ok bye I gotta go sit on my hands so I stop typing. read more

Honest Coffee Roasters has a very fun casual ambiance. I ordered for mocha coffee but I honestly did not enjoy it as much because the coffee wasn't strong or aromatic enough. The service was very quick, since I have tried quite nicer coffees in the city before I felt the coffee here could have been better. Nevertheless I love the location of the cafe which is not too busy. Its a good place to hangout and catch up with friends. read more

Coffee was terrible. Service was fine. Ambience was cool but we got coffee to go. Had an iced Cuban. The coconut almond milk was chunky. It tasted like maybe coffee was in the same room but very weak, and I tasted no brown sugar. read more

The place is under construction but still plenty of space to order and seating in the hallway available. Staff was great and nice (they would get a 4 Star). Had their iced coffee but unfortunately they had no ice that morning. It was okay but ice does help it. Also they don't have nonfat milk so got oat milk which worked. S.O liked this Cortado coffee. We tried the Guava Empanada and was not a fan. Lots more bread than feeling, and tasted like strawberry versus guava. Okay experience, interested what it will look like after the shop's expansion. read more

Honest has been one of my favorite coffee spots for years. I love the Franklin location's renovated space inside the Factory. I know that their scones and baked goods are good, but this morning I opted for the Franklin Toast. It was a fresh filling breakfast. The Be Mine mocha Valentine's Day latte special made with cherry syrup was delicious. We were a little bummed it didn't have the "Be Mine" stencil on it as advertised on their Instagram. It's usually very busy, but this morning there was no line. However, by 8am, the tables were getting filled. Honest's quality is consistent and I often recommend them. read more

Such a great coffeeshop! I love that they have a wide menu for drinks and also have a full menu for food. I opt for the açaí bowls (Bom Bom) when I've gone here.

A great coffee shop in the factory. They have a great method of funneling people through and they present the coffee drink without a lid reducing waste. The ambiance is cozy and warm. The coffee itself was delicious. I opted for the 'First Lady' and I normally don't go for prepared drinks. They also sell lots of great canned drinks. read more

I went to this location of Honest Coffee after an eye appointment nearby. My eyes were dilated, so it was really difficult to see much of the menu. However, this was such a spacious, open-plan cafe with low-key bar and table seating. It's a bit loud and echoey, so keep that in mind if you're more of a quiet worker. The employees and baristas were so understanding of my eye issues, and my order was brought out so quickly. I had a delicious Cuban coffee and a Kona açaí bowl. I finished everything within a few minutes and took a stroll around the Factory just opening up. Most stores are still getting set up here, but it was exciting to see what was up and coming! Plenty of parking in a private lot. read more

I have been an Honest regular for years and failed to ever review them/this location. The Factory has evolved a lot and their expansion of Honest has opened up so much space to gather or work. Aesthetically, they are modern, classy, and comfortable - love their live plants. As far as their offerings - they excel at their consistency and quality. Honest treats coffee like an art and the staff is diligent to the details. My staple order is the Roosevelt because nothing compares to it - it's something you can't find anywhere else. Their cinnamon syrup is truly exceptional. I love it so much, I buy myself the candle every 6 months as a treat - yes, their "Roosevelt" is also a scented soy candle that is truly divine. I also enjoy ordered a First Lady (almond + vanilla flavor) or a black coffee on occasion. I almost always give their holiday speciality lattes a try and usually find them enjoyable, currently there is a Vday "Be Mine" Latte with house made cherry + vanilla + cocoa. Highly recommend this spot if you have yet to go. read more

I've had a mixed experience here when it comes to service. Sometimes the staff can be inattentive and relatively slow, and other times they'll be friendly and helpful. I wish the service was a bit more consistent. But the coffee is very good. I also had a great experience recently when I ordered an Americano but was told that they were really busy (there was an event going on nearby) and that espresso drinks would involve about a 20 minute wait. But he offered that they did have drip coffee. I went with the drip coffee, which was delicious. And I really appreciated the head's up that there would be a wait. read more

The small drink I got was $8. And it was mid. Half the shop is a storage area, and it took 10 minutes for them to make.

I waited 15 minutes in line to order a cortado and waited 15 minutes for it to be served up by the barista, and it was worth every blankety-blank second. Some of the best espresso I've ever had anywhere: deeply delicious, varietal, filled with different flavor notes of chocolate, red berries, citrus. The woman in front of me had her three kids with her and we were commiserating about the wait, but I caught up with her after she got her Cubano and she smiled and agreed it was worth it. Of course, this being Nashville, she was genuinely friendly. Imagine! Highly recommended, though maybe not if you're pressed for time. ;-) read more

The acai bowl and coffee were both mid, but the bacon sandwich was a hit. I had an everything bagel and cream cheese, which isn't pictured. I didn't care for it, and that's one of my favorite bagels. I wanted the avocado toast, but they weren't able to make adjustments to the sandwich. He said it's a fairly new restaurant, so they couldn't change the menu or ingredients. The decor was really nice. We went back a second time for the bacon sandwich. read more

I will say that this was one of the best lattes I've ever had. So they have that going for them. I will say service is bleh and they don't really care about you unless you're a regular. It was a bit of a bummer experience. My husband and I travel all over the US and have tried so many different coffee spots... and that's usually what we look forward to when traveling to new places! Getting to know a new area by coffee and chatting with friendly baristas. They totally had the "order and get out of my way" attitude...to each their own! Besides that, the design of this place is special and cozy, especially for being in a shared space! I think it would be a great spot to work from if that's what you're looking for. I do recommend this place and am thoroughly convinced it's the best coffee in Frankin. Which at the end of the day, that's all that matters! read more

After an extensive study of nearly ever coffee shop in the greater Nashville area I have concluded that Honest in the factory has the best and most consistent iced Americano in town. As a self-declared coffee connoisseur I feel that the iced Americano is the purest test of a shops commitment to excellent coffee since you get the most genuine expression of the espresso shot on full display. And I can say that none shine brigher than Honest. It's got perfect balance, wonderful sweetness, and fruit forward notes that you won't find elsewhere. Most coffee shops (even good ones!) hide their slightly burnt, over-extracted shots behind milk and sugary sweet syrupy drinks but not here. Their commitment to delicious espresso even when lines are out the door should be applauded. Great coffee and friendly staff, all in a newly renovated space that welcomes both work and play--what more can you ask for? read more

You get to watch the process of the coffee beans being roasted as you wait for your coffee! Great little spot at the factory at Franklin. They just expanded and remodeled to a big ole shop towards the back of the factory. I love that there's the option to get coffee every time I go to the factory, but wish the ambience was better. It's a bit too crowded to be a regular spot to get work done, and the ambience is too fast paced and impersonal for it to be a home spot. So it's a great pit stop to grab some coffee and walk around the factory. read more

I gotta say, Nashville has some mighty fine coffee shops, but not a lot of them offer a space to sip and work. Honest Coffee Roasters offers both and then some. This coffee shop is right in the middle of the Factory at Franklin and has a great layout with plenty of tables for working, couches for cozy convos and a table "outside" of the shop for great people watching views. They have a decent food menu, but I only ordered an iced coffee with a splash of oat milk. The coffee was delish and had a great flavor. I normally sip coffee, but I found myself slurping this down. Honest coffee roasts their beans inhouse (see the pics) and offers a ton of classic coffee drinks, both hot and cold. Coffee shop bonus! - There's plenty of parking here and ample space to hang and window shop while at the Factory! read more

Swung by the Factory and before we hit any shops coffee and a snack were priority, so we made our way to Honest Coffee Roasters. It is a space that screams local coffee shop with an cozy, warm and industrial feel that features high-tops, lounge seating and standard tables if you want to hang out. They have a few bar stools at the counter, but they are ill-placed and are not functional seating, as if you sat there you would 100% be in the way. The menu features all the classic coffee shop go-to's and while the menu seems limited, you can order off menu and it seems like most time they can make it happen. I went with an Iced Mocha, which came in 12 ounces and ran me close to $6.00. I have to say, I was wildly disappointed in this drink. I watched them make it and 90% of the cup was milk. I expected the shot that went in to be overloaded with flavor, but sadly it just turned the milk slightly bitter. I was bummed to say the least. On the flip side, the coffee cake muffin I got was absolutely delicious! Service was solid. The barista's were friendly and helpful from order to pick-up. Overall, I didn't pick the right drink, but I won't completely cross them off the "go-to" list just yet. Location is good, vibe is solid, service and muffin great. read more
