    Tex in Tennessee!

    More than 30 varieties of homemade ice cream and a full espresso bar from this locally-owned shop - I followed Harry in the door and enjoyed some Sneakers from the friendly staff. Looking forward to some of the famous floats next time!

    The drinks we got were not too sweet and just perfect. The service was nice and friendly. The inside was clean and had cool stuff in there.

    This place is busy and now, I understand why! Delicious ice-cream with all the love. Generous portions too. Had their coconut! Yum!!

    Staff was friendly and it was not busy. Homemade ice cream with good flavor choices. Interesting hot chocolate choices. I went a bit rogue and tried the Mumbai hot chocolate but I probably should have chosen a less exotic flavor. The clove and ginger was a bit overpowering for my preference and the small was only about 2/3 full then the rest was whipped cream. My daughter enjoyed her butter cookie milkshake. Small seating area tucked down 2nd Ave near Hard Rock Cafe. Bathrooms had a sign for 5minute time note (poop and scoot I guess-lol). Also looks like there may be a VRBO attached to the store (how interesting). Interesting spot.

    After hopping around to the Honky Tonks on Broadway, we came across Mike's and decided to take a break from drinking and get a dessert instead. We were able to sample some ice cream flavors before choosing a Double Scoop ($7.50) and a Double Espresso ($3.85). We split the scoop, but I had the Sweet Corn Pudding flavor, which was unique. It was pretty good with some bits of actual corn in it too. Other than that, all other flavors were pretty standard.

    Perfect place to stop by to rest your tired feet! They give big portion of ice cream scoop and it really can satisfy your cravings. Lines can get long really fast and not a lot of seating inside but have a few tables outside.

    Great place to stop in if you're craving something sweet. Came here for some ice cream. I ordered the butter pecan and it was the perfect amount. Staff were ok. It gets busy here. Plenty of seating inside and outdoors.

    When you are in 90 degree weather and need something cold but also need a pick me up, stop in to Mike's. Not only are their flavors extensive but you can customize beyond belief! We went with the Affogato, which is basically espresso over ice cream. We tried both the Salted Caramel and Pralines and Cream flavors. Beyond delicious! There were 10 other things we wanted to try so we are adding Mike's to our list for our next Nashville vacation!

    So glad I got to be refreshed from the heat of the day at Mike's! There was an ice cream shop right next door that I stopped at first, but I was not impressed by their Icecream. When I sampled Mike's, I was immediately won at first bite. I loved the unique flavors and how expansive the options were. There was also coffee and other items, adding to the menu variety. The staff had a good vibe and were nice. My friend who is dairy free was even able to get some icecream that she raved about (and she also didn't like the shop next door). I loved the small coffee shop vibe and even took a moment to sit and kick back here. I would recommend stopping in for a sweet treat!

    Such a great spot to cool off and get a sweet treat downtown! Plus, now that second ave is open again with wider sidewalks, you can take your ice cream to go and explore Broadway nearby! I recommend the Tennessee Fudge flavor if you do stop by!

    I wandered around downtown Nashville after a show at the Ryman, searching for any place with an open kitchen. I hadn't had time for dinner before the performance and I was STARVING. Alas, it was a Monday so my options were limited. So I had dinner at Mike's Ice Cream. Yes, it was a hot fudge sundae. No I do not regret it. I was a well rounded meal after all! Dairy? CHECK Ice cream and whipped cream, protein and vitamin D needs fulfilled. Grains? CHECK Peanuts! Not technically a grain but nuts are filling and high in protein and fiber. Fruit? CHECK Maraschino cherry. Need I say more? Hot fudge. Technically cocoa pods, from which chocolate is derived from, is a fruit? Veg? CHECK. High fructose corn syrup (most likely also found in the fudge) is made from CORN, DUH! Ok, ok, so my rationale is shakey at best. But it was between this option and fast food and in the end I picked the local biz, even if it was ice cream for dinner. As for the experience--staff was super kind and I sat, enjoying my first bite of food since lunch, watching all the other tourists walk by. Not a bad choice in a bind or even if you're just out strolling around and want to indulge in a sweet treat in a more traditional way.

    Fun artwork!

    Such friendly and welcoming workers- my group had such a blast trying and ordering their ice cream here. Flavors were abundant, laughs had. They had cute decor around and plenty of seating inside. I rec this place!

    Elizabeth B.

    We stopped in post a Titans game and it had been since the old location that I had been into Mike's. I forgot how amazing it is!! We split the Salty Milky Way and it was absolutely heavenly - a dream for any milky way lovers! The vibes are so cool, they maintained some for the OG decor, but elevated the experience! Staff was friendly, not many chairs, but we found a seat even on a busier day!

It feels historic in the best way, like it's lived a few lives (old house shoe repair shop now a coffee spot that somehow makes you want to slow down and stay awhile). We didn't try any food this time, but based on the long line of people happily waiting for it, I'm taking that as a strong sign. The coffee, though? Legit. You can tell the beans are fresh, smooth, clean, and more "grown-up, sophisticated coffee flavor" than sugary coffee dessert. We ordered an iced caramel latte and an espresso martini (hold the cream) and both were excellent. The latte was balanced and smooth, and the espresso actually came through (not hidden under caramel). The espresso martini was the surprise star: they add an orange liqueur that gives it a little citrus lift, which makes it taste brighter and more interesting than the standard version. Naturally, we left with a bag of their espresso beans because now we're convinced we can recreate that martini at home. Will it be as good as Frothy Monkey's? Probably not. But we're going to try... you know, for science. If you like places with personality, history, and coffee that tastes like someone actually cares, this one's top of the list.

I enjoyed my coffees each day and loved the seasonal offerings they had as well! My daughter tried the chorizo biscuits and gravy one morning too and said they were very good! All in all, a cute location, great service, yummy food and drinks!

They have started doing a little better about having outlet options, but mainly at those tall, long skinny tables. The ones that aren't necessarily great for working because they're so high up and can make your legs feel weird after awhile. Haha. The other semi complaint I have is that they close early. 3 pm is early when you want to try and work. Drinks are good. I don't drink a ton of coffee these days, but what I've had there was good. I get either their chai or matcha. Both of those I enjoy! I had a sandwich there recently. I wanted to roll my eyes at the price truthfully. However, when it came.. WOAH. It was GIANT. I was thoroughly impressed. It was really really good. I had to take half of it home and put it in the fridge. When I came back home hours later... it was STILL GOOD. The bread was not soggy either! That's HUGE! Ok so overall, I highly recommend this place and it's one of my go to spots.

There was a line when we arrived, but it wasn't so bad. It moved by pretty quickly. While in line, you bypass all the pastries displayed behind the glass and they looked beautiful! Everything looked amazing. I ended up ordering the Twice Baked Croissant and the Fried Chicken Breakfast Sandwich. The Twice Baked Croissant was just incredible. It had pistachios on top, a pistachio cream inside, and also a cherry or raspberry jam inside too. I love pistachios, and the pistachio cream inside was so light, creamy, delicate, but flavorful. I absolutely loved all the different textures. The croissant was airy and fluffy inside, and the outside had a nice flaky exterior. And the fruit jam inside complemented the pistachio cream very well, it added a nice sweetness that blended well with the cream. For me, it tied the whole thing together. I will definitely be thinking of this pastry when I think of pistachio croissants. And for the Fried Chicken Breakfast Sandwich? Wow. I didn't know what to expect, but it was much larger than I anticipated. It was tall, like when I was bringing it to the table the top part of the bun almost fell off my plate because it had height. The fried chicken piece was great: juicy and had a nice golden color. It was crispy and also quite large for a chicken piece.. All the components about it were executed well: the fried chicken, the coleslaw! (i'm a coleslaw fanatic), and the sauce inside the sandwich was wonderful. Also last but not least, the fried egg too? Wow. I love a good runny egg. I'm not exaggerating, I was drenching the pieces of my sandwich in the sauce on my plate. It was just that good. Genuinely, I couldn't believe I finished that sandwich because it was very filling and that fried chicken piece was huge! Service was fast and friendly, I liked interacting with them. It is pretty small inside and we came on a weekend so it was busy and packed. We were lucky to snag a small table but it was difficult to find seating when we got our food. All in all, I'm so happy we came here. Yes it is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. The quality is clearly there and showed up through everything we got. I had such a memorable time, thank you for taking care of us!
