My new favorite bakery in Nashville! Perennial Bakery is wonderful. I love that they have a beautiful selection of freshly baked sweet and savory goods. And everything is reasonably priced. I ordered the bacon and cheese stuffed baguette, because I always lean savory. The delightful staff offered to warm it for me, letting me know it was much better warmed. So, of course I said yes! Well, my baguette was perfectly warmed in the oven. My baguette never came close to a microwave, and it came out perfect! The bread was warm and the cheese was bubbly. It was delicious and filling. The bakery itself is beautiful and clean, with windows to the kitchen and a large seating area upstairs. When you walk into the bakery, there is a case of fresh food on your left with a case of frozen food next to it. Toasts and pastries are in the glass case, and the breads and baguettes are directly behind the case. If you enjoy savory treats, I strongly suggest you ask what the "Stuffed Baguette of the Day" is. Then, order it and ask them to warm it for you. Yum! Their espresso machine is impressive. Next time I'll try a Cortado. read more

The staff was very stressed out and chaotic, which was our first impression when we walked in on a Friday morning. One of the poor ladies practically steamrolled me and my son as she sprinted back and forth from the counter to the door to hand menus to folks as they walked in. We love the one in Franklin and were excited to try this one out. The downstairs is a very cramped space with upstairs seating and a few patio tables. Unfortunately the service was so unfortunate, hence the lower stars. The pastries are always delicious, so no complaints there! read more

Visited on a Sunday morning and it was packed. Coffee was fine, but the tea was a mess - they clearly don't know how to serve it. Staff felt awkward and a bit scoffing which was odd. The ham and cheese croissant was good. The Brie and fig grilled cheese, however, was extremely greasy. The ham and Parmesan baguette was not edible - it was so tough that in Europe it would be treated as bird feed, not given to people. Overall, quite disappointed. A couple of decent items, but between the service and the food quality, it wasn't worth it at all. read more

When you hit the upstairs of the cafe, it feels like you've slipped into a quiet corner cafe somewhere in France. Perren keeps getting the details right. The quality of their pastries and drinks are consistently good and the space itself has such a calm, elevated ambiance that makes you want to slow down and stay for a while. My go to order is the herbs de Provence latte- the syrup is beautifully balanced with floral and slightly savory notes or the matcha cloud drink. The breakfast sandwich on a croissant and with caramelized onions is the perfect breakfast/brunch item. There is a distinctly European vibe here that I really appreciate, especially for Nashville. read more

Burnt. Everything was over baked and burnt. Bread, all over baked, croissants overbaked

A friend recommended Perenn to me yesterday with such high praise I wasted no time heading that way to try it out. I loved walking in to be greeted by a team of bakers busily rolling and cutting dough. All the European feels came upon me!!! I purchased the Frozen cinnamon rolls to go, as my friend said there are none better, anywhere. I will be bringing them as a Christmas Eve hostess gift to my brother's house, so he can leave them out overnight and bake them fresh on Christmas Day. I also had one of their two salads of the day and I literally rejoiced!!! Amazing. A pearled couscous like base with chopped pecans, lemon peel, cranberries, red onion, salad greens and butternut squash. The flavors combined so perfectly that I smiled at my first bite! I love the authenticity of this darling bakery. And I love their clear passion for fresh real food! read more

All I do is think about the matcha cloud, haha! Seriously, that drink is top tier. This place is the best and I love it. The service is fantastic - the staff is so kind. I love the vibes upstairs. While they don't have full table service, they will bring your food/drink to the table. They also have a case of frozen items for you to take and bake. It is a little on the pricey side. It is something of a treat for me. While I wish it could be more frequent, I am not made of money. read more

I was so excited to try Perenn Bakery after seeing so many cute posts online and was ready for some European-luxury vibes. Our experience was good overall, but I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. The pastries were delicious, though in my opinion, slightly overpriced. A tip: take a moment to browse the menu before hopping in line, because the cashiers tend to move people through quickly. For me, the standout was the iced mocha--so good! The interior is cozy and definitely a vibe, perfect for studying or catching up with a friend. I loved that there's plenty of seating, including an upstairs area. read more

New bakery in the Berry hill area with a lot of customers lined up to get European themed foods/drinks. We had a collection of pastries all of which were fantastic. The Kough amann was one of the largest and heaviest pastries I've had as it was stuffed with creme brulee cream. Definitely similar tasting to the Italian/Spanish croissants we've had in Europe. Cappuccino also was great. Everything is pricy so just be ready to open up your wallet. Service was good and the interior was really nicely laid out. We will be back to try more soon! read more

An almond croissant with a herb de Provence latte is my go-to order here. I absolutely love both the baked goods and coffee here and the staff and ambiance are all wonderful. This spot can get busy but I haven't had to wait too long for my order if I'm heading out with my order. Overall a great spot for a morning treat. read more

Came in for breakfast Friday morning. The croissants are buttery and flaky. Topping options for the sandwich are a wide variety. I also got a dirty chai latte which was good. They have additional seating upstairs for larger groups read more

I stopped by to grab some coffee and was so taken by the sweet treats on offer I decided to indulge my sweet tooth. The space is so nicely designed open yet also cozy. I had the Vietnamese coffee which was strong and balanced, I decided to have the mochi coffee cake which was quite and very different with its unique chewy texture. read more

The quality of the bakery and cafe is top tier!! My only gripe is how EXPENSIVE everything is now when pastries and coffee were made to be daily staples for a quick snack and drink, now costs you premiere prices for something that doesn't seem sustainable for a daily run. $21 for a tuna salad? $19 for a kale salad? $8 for a vietnamese latte? Mind you, it's a quad shot so it has extra espresso but there isn't a cheaper option? Great staff, friend and knowledgeable. Also the seasonal flavors of the bakery items are always spot on and consistent. Will come here but everytime I come, you have to know you're spending some money here. They have some of the best coffee in town too. Hot and cold versions are quality. read more

I'm a little generous with the 4 stars mostly because I'm pretty critical with croissants. Overall, the vibe is there, the staff is friendly, and the space is clean and super inviting. Love the space and atmosphere. Glad they're able to open a shop in Nashville. I tried the plain croissant ($5) and it was fine. The flake was there, but it was a bit dry for my taste and needed a bit more butter. I honestly do like the croissant from other French bakery near downtown better. Also, Perenn sells their almond croissant for $8.50, fyi, which I think is a bit excessive but to each their own. I haven't even come across an almond croissant in LA that sells for that much... read more

This is such an elegant bakery. You get rich classy vibes in side. Super clean and welcoming. The staff was able to help me pick out must try's and how I wanted my coffee made. I have heard the Franklin location is the better one to go to but glad there is a Nashville option now. Parking was absolutely brutal middle of the day. But this has got to be on your list when you're in the area. read more

I don't know if I've ever had a croissant as good as Perenn's, even in France!! The breakfast sandwich is easily the #1 must try item on the menu. It's really nice that you can watch them baking the crossiants while you wait in line to order. Pricing per pastry is expensive compared to other pastry shops in the area, but it makes sense given they do mill their own flour (which is also sold in store). The iced vanilla latte has become one of my favorite lattes in Nashville, it's real vanilla that they use, no fake syrups. This location doesn't do full sit down service, so it feels like a coffee shop compared to the Franklin location. Get there early before things sell out if there's something specific you want to try, the lines are still long as it hasn't been open for long. read more

Stopped in on a slow Tuesday afternoon to avoid the lines. Best baguette I've had since Paris. The kougin Amman was also top notch. If they have the bacon and cheese stuffed mini baguettes with everything bagel seasoning available when you go, get two; they are that good. They have a small fresh made sandwich/breakfast menu, and a fridge full of "grabs and go" Sammies. Highly recommended for baked goods! read more

Food was good, but a bit overpriced. I had the crispy brunch potatoes because I'm gluten free and they only had a few gf options on their menu. I'm more of a cooked egg person. They only do poached and souffle, and the souffle was perfect with the potatoes, definitely cooked. The cream on the dish was a bit heavy, but what you would expect from bakery style food. The matcha latte was good, standard. Overall, solid dining experience, just a wee bit on the pricey side for what you're getting. I do like that they are not a chain and run by actual people, so I appreciate that it's a hard and expensive world out there, and would go back again. P.S. The woman in front of me was stocking up on at least 6 containers of their refridgerated cookie dough, so maybe that's one of the highlights? Being gluten free I'll never know, but maybe you should try it if you have the time! read more

Love this place so much! Will go out of my way bc pastries and coffee are always consistent. Croissants and bread are baked to perfection - Never overcooked. Breakfast sandwiches are very good and my fav is the marzipan latte. Highly recommend for breakfast or lunch. read more

The food and definitely the service could be improved. Felt ignored had to clean off my own table, and the food was average.

Easy free lot parking. The breakfast sandwich on sour dough with bacon jam was soooooo good! Had the crossaisant snack cookie paired well with the coconut iced americano. Plenty of seating as well! read more

The pastries (and really all the food) are Perenn are top notch. Love what they did with this space and am so happy to have them in the neighborhood. If you haven't been it's worth the trip. Perfect Parisian bakery vibe, great service, and quality food. read more

Damn good French pastries. The place is a little small at the front, but they do have room in a balcony area. If you see a line, it shouldn't take too long to make it through. Everything we ate was amazing. A bit pricey, but that won't keep me away. The staff were very polite and helpful. read more

Located off Armory Drive exit, this cute little bakery is such a vibe on a Saturday with close friends. Let me tell you how to navigate the situation... We arrived promptly at 9:30am to have a hostess handout menus that we can peruse while waiting "to get in the door". When let in, you stand in line to put in your order which you've already decided upon while waiting. It became very clear that it's a "first come first serve" with seating and it gets dicey. There is a gorgeous upstairs loft with 8 tables and numerous chairs. The benefit to this is so you can view the bustling fully operating bakery below. It's a French bistro format of seating, so be aware you will be overheard and you will overhear interesting conversations. We lucked out and shared a massive table with two other parties in a cozy corner. The overall effect was a moody, classic space with warm wooden beams and beautiful windows. I recommend finding a table in the loft if you can. The service was effective without being overwhelming, and we never felt hurried or rushed which is exactly why this bakery is so special. Our food choices were a bevy of different croissants from savory to sweet, but the salted caramel apple croissant was the ultimate winner. Tip: go early and as one of you places the order, let the other search for a table. Divide and conquer will result in a nice breakfast in Berry Hill. read more

Cool place with a unique vibe. Service was fast and everyone was nice. Food was decent but a bit overpriced in my opinion. I'd say you're paying for the vibe more than good food. Baked goods are good but $22 for a single person sandwich is a bit much. read more

Ok the quality is really good. The pastries are fresh. It's cool to watch the bakers at work but what the heck...I felt like I was literally taken advantage of with the prices. My favorite pastries that we tried were the raspberry and cheese danish and the classic croissant. The baguette was also classic and delicious. The almond croissant wasn't my fav but $8.50...for a croissant?! Not even with the best quality ingredients does that price make sense! The icing on the cinnamon roll croissant had a strange taste to me but that's just preference. The cloud matcha was delicious but also $8.75!! The cold brew was muddy and over brewed. I think a dark roast is too much for a cold brew. Ambience was cool. Staff was great. But idk, probably won't go back. With those prices it feels like they only want the rich to come back. read more

I want this place to succeed! But both times we visited my coffee, tea and/or espresso arrived well after we were finished with our food. Eager to take your order, check you out, and then deliver your drink much later. Not good!! If you want to look international, then deliver on time on target!! Otherwise - the bread we brought home is great!! Plus we clearly said our order was "for here", in other words not to go. The food was promptly put in a to-go bag and the hot tea in a paper cup. REALLY!! read more

Food is delicious with quality ingredients, service outstanding & nice ambiance. The tables were occupied by many people on their computers tho and so one seat was being used at several 4 seat tables. I couldn't find an available table. read more

There was a bit of a line when I went, but it was worth it. I got the cookie dough which I'm still eating. A breakfast sandwich on an English muffin. A latte. An orange Madeline and a chocolate bouchon. Bouchons have a dear spot in my heart. I staged at the bakery in Yountville and painstakingly made thousands of those little chocolate corks. Perenn hit the nail on the head. Amazing flavor great coffee and a stellar cast of employees. Their leader Kasey was delightful, kind and patient. The whole experience made me feel seen. read more

AMAZING FOOD. Such a good bakery and coffee is awesome as well. The ambience is so relaxing and beautiful.

They've nailed it here. Since moving from Chattanooga, I've been searching for the perfect French inspired bakery. The pastries, the coffee, the ambiance- 10/10. Customer service was exceptional. Came at 11 on a Sunday, and waited no longer than 10 minutes. Huge props to the team here, keep it up. read more

Food was average, not fresh and way overpriced, but bread was good. If I go back, I'd just do a pastry n coffee. Lil brunette waitress w/ponytail was EXTREMELY rude and dismissive when she dropped off my sandwich. I said, "thank you" and she gave a small grunt which made paying $20 for an average sandwich even less tolerable. One plus, the cashier was warm & delightful!!! Funny thing is my husband and I were just in Rye,NY, a lovely suburb of Manhattan, and we paid $11 for a more elaborate sandwich that came on an Italian baguette, and honestly we could have split it. These store owners in Nashville in general are overpricing everything! They must think people here aren't well traveled or that we're stupid. read more

I love the food, atmosphere, service. My only complaint is that they are pricey, but honestly they are worth it for a special treat.

I travel some for work and had the pleasure of being taken to Perenn Bakery in Reno. I was impressed walking in. It was spotlessly clean and bright. I could see the product being made through the ample viewing windows. The wait staff was polite with smiles, not often seen by today's workers. My host pointed out the owner who herself was beautiful. I noticed she was in the kitchen inspecting each plate before it went out. The lunch was exceptional. I took some pastries with me when I left. They were the best I've had. To my delight I learned that Aubrey and Tyler, the owners, have recently moved to Tennessee and will be opening a Perenn in my home city of Nashville. I can't wait to take my family and friends. It did not surprise me to learn that both Tyler and Aubrey are both graduates of the famous culinary school in New York, the Culinary Institute of America, where excellence is instilled. Excellence may be coming back in style in the United States and Perenn is at the tip of the spear. read more
