    Oof. A swing and a miss, guys. I hope that I experienced Leaf 'n Brew on an off day. We all have 'em. It happens. This business has been up and running for over a year. It goes to show how much SoBro is growing that it completely escaped my radar. The building seems to get a lot of foot traffic from construction workers and nearby office goers. I have to imagine that as more businesses populate the area, more options like LnB will pop up. This is a good thing. The small food court offers the usual grab and go choices that suit the area. I came here to meet with a friend/business associate of mine and thought I made the perfect choice for a quick, casual, convenient-location spot. With a gluten-sensitive gut, grab and go can be a bit of a hurdle. Sandwiches, wraps and burritos are usually out of the question. Knowing this, I did my research and decided on a strawberry salad. Gluten-free and perfect for summer, right? Unfortunately, LnB was out of strawberries... so no salad. I mean, I could have ordered it but what's the point without the star ingredient? Undeterred, I asked what make-your-own salad options I had to work with. Unfortunately, many of them were unavailable. A bit embarrassed (I'd picked this spot and had my friend come from The Gulch and meet me), I thought I'd have a liquid lunch and order a smoothie. Again, not all of the ingredients were in house. C'mon, guys. I get it. Stuff happens. But, work with me here. Three strikes and I was out. I settled upon an omelet and bottled tea. I asked for the omelet without the special seasoning, as I couldn't confirm what was in said seasoning. What I received was not an omelet. I received a mess of eggs, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and onion. It wasn't folded. It wasn't scrambled. Honestly, I'd never seen eggs like this. It was pretty unappealing. How can you mess up eggs? Oy. And when I was handed the (metal) platter for said eggs, it was screaming hot and I burned my hand. No warning given. I'm guessing this was a perfect storm of mishaps but... yeah. Not the best experience. I'll post a photo of the eggs. Maybe someone else can identify the preparation?

    Great location in downtown Nashville, located in a cafeteria/food hall type establishment. Perfect place for a quick bite, I came here after flying in from Dallas and needed something quick to eat. Only complaint is that they did not have water available from their soda fountain and we had to ask another restaurant, and it was very warm water.

    This place is inside a food court, which is neither a plus or minus, it gives you options. I came for coffee, but My cappuccino was a huge let down. I would say it wasn't even espresso, or it was just a little coffee topped up with scalding hot water. No foam, and not very milky. Food was better. Steak wrap was tasty, egg tacos were solid.

    Chicken biscuit

    Pathetic excuse for a breakfast place. Menu says fresh bagels and pastries but the pastry case is completely empty. Ordered a "famous chicken biscuit" and it is a frozen chicken patty on a crappy biscuit. Breakfast potatoes have no seasoning and had to ask for silverware. Please do not go to this place. McDonald's serves a better breakfast for way cheaper.

    This is supposed to be an omelette.

    We ordered to go. The omelette came as overcooked scrambled eggs. The other breakfast sandwich was soggy. The latte and coffee was good. I wouldn't order there again.

We ordered the Fruit Tea, East Nasty and the B-Roll. I liked their Fruit Tea, nice and refreshing. The East Nasty was pretty good overall, the fried chicken and gravy were flavorful and comforting, but the biscuit underneath was a little underwhelming. BUT oh boy the B-Roll... omg WOW. 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.

Ambience, throughout, particularly decor, especially, the restroom wallpaper but also the painted sunrise as well as the garage doors opening onto a generous patio, was fresh, upbeat and inviting. All of it is so very charming. The menu is very cool as well. We were in Nashville less than a week and we came twice. I do not recall what we ordered but it was all tasty and delightfully creative. Breakfast all day is a good fit for their offering. I know I had a breakfast casserole once, my wife ordered a cheeseburger which I finished for her. I did not sample her bagel (breakfast) but she enjoyed. Tiny biscuits and jelly were always welcome. I would go again in a minute. Overall, a highlight of our Nashville experience. Such a pleasant break from all the fast and over fried food. They actually offer salads which are scarce on Broadway (near the music scene).

I did not get a t-shirt but they were pretty cute! 10 out of 10 for fresh squeezed orange juice... so delicious! We ordered the 'Candied Bacon' for our appetizer which was so flavorful and delicious. For our entrees, my friend tried the 'Carrot Cake pancakes' which were a big portion and I tried some. They tasted exactly like carrot cake. They were so moist and fluffy. I ordered the 'Country Fried Steak and Eggs' which also came with pancakes. This was also a big portion, but it was so delicious. The prices were fairly affordable. It was definitely higher prices than an Ihop but also better quality. I 100% would come back and recommend this place.

The service started out great, but our server disappeared after our food was delivered. She dropped off the check, and a while I went inside to pay and the person at the front counter was VERY put out to run my card. Pancakes were really good -- the sweet potato one was the favorite, followed by the cinnamon roll, and last the banana bread. The hash browns with the added veggies and cheese were delicious!! And the candied bacon was good, although a little expensive for what you get IMO. The cocktail I ordered was fantastic -- light and refreshing.
