I visited Plumb Line with a friend from Clarksville who had been before and RAVED about it, so we came in with high hopes. Let me start with the positives: I would give Plumb Line a solid 5 stars for ambience. It's such a cute and unique coffee shop that's perfect for studying or relaxing. The environment was great, and the staff is friendly. That part of the experience was genuinely enjoyable. Unfortunately, the coffee didn't live up to the hype. We ordered drinks from the fall menu (The Cozy Sweater and Pumpkin) and both tasted more like watered-down black coffee with a hint of cream. There was hardly any flavor, and I couldn't taste the pumpkin at all. The bakery items were also a letdown. We both had cinnamon rolls, which were pre-wrapped and stale. You could tell they were probably delicious when freshly made, but that wasn't the case when we had them. I really loved the space and the service but the quality of the coffee and food really missed the mark. I wanted to love it but it just wasn't the experience we were hoping for. read more

Went to get some coffee and a pastry. The male employee with glasses and earrings was extremely rude to me for no reason and kept giving me dirty looks while I was sitting on my laptop drinking my coffee. I will never go back there again. read more

I just went there and the customer service was not the best. I did not like how awkward they acted around me.

Get the strawberry matcha! The toasts were amazing-we did the Nutella and cucumber/turkey. I love the fresh sprouts. Great service and atmosphere too. read more

I'm visiting for the holidays and love to find local coffee shops - they're always better than the chains! I came here for the first time to get some work done and the staff were so welcoming and the ambiance was perfect. I was able to focus and take calls without it being too noisy - which is a huge plus! Some cafes play their music way too loudly to allow for people to work in the space, and theirs was just right. read more

Wanted to check out a local coffee shop while visiting and Plumb Line Coffee does not disappoint! I was greeted as soon as I walked in. This coffee shop is cute and cozy! Very relaxing feel to it. There was a customer with his young baby sitting waiting for his order and I asked if he had any suggestions for me. He recommended the Cuban Cappuccino. Needless to say, it was delicious! Smooth, rich, flavorful and just overall amazing! The customer said the Cuban Cappuccino wouldn't disappoint and it sure didn't! Much appreciation to the customer and to the baristas! Much love read more

Unfortunately, my experience this morning was the same as another person shared in a review. I ordered an Iced Whiskey Carmel Latte and it tasted nothing like coffee... more like milk over ice with the TINIEST hint of espresso and the TINIEST hint of caramel syrup. And the worst part is I nicely went back to the counter (not to complain) but to gently see if it was possible to get a splash more of the whiskey caramel syrup (to secretly/discreetly make it taste like something other than iced milk) and the barista was snooty : ( She rudely pointed and said there's simple syrup right there and basically shewed me away. They weren't even busy so I can't blame it on that. I'd also typically say we all have bad days sometimes and go on with my day, but this barista has given these vibes before and my friend and I both found their coffee weak last time. I'm sorry, but nobody likes watered down $7 coffee or condescending baristas. Sunday morning bummer : ( read more

$6.25 for something that is like a 25:1 ratio and tastes like a medium dark blend instead of the natural process strawberry tasting note Nicaraguan coffee I ordered. It was also served extremely quickly and scalding hot. I still think it was the dark drip coffee and not a pour over. Won't be back. Way to far off of the interstate for the quality of a gas station when I was expecting a nice single origin pour over. Also, the rim of my cup was filthy as if it had been slid along the ground, picking up dust for weeks. read more

Plumb Line Coffee - Found this nasty surprise in the cup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Clarksville, Tennessee

The Cappuccino was very delicious, had a rich natural flavor and the color was magnificent, top quality coffee for the price, and not to mention the extremely reasonable prices, I only paid $5 for a coffee and it was made exactly to my liking. Bravo PLC!! The service was amazing, this very sweet barista informed me of the coffees they had and I went with a timeless classic, the cappuccino, brought me strait back to being a child again when my great grandmother would make a cappuccino in the mornings, she always talked about growing up in Florence and I always think of that when I have a cappuccino! The overall Ambiance in the cafe is very relaxing and refreshing as you dine. Very calming music and fine lighting. Perfect place to start your morning!! Will dine here again! read more

Plumb Line Coffee - Inside decor... - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Clarksville, Tennessee

Quiet cozy coffee joint, great place to do work. The woman who took my order was very friendly and welcomed me upon entering and helped me with their menu Bc new places can be overwhelming. I decided on the iced vanilla bourbon latte which is two shots espresso over milk with vanilla bourbon flavor, and one hot coffee with room for cream and sugar. I should note I love a sweet coffee, but I also love a great flavor coffee, the kind you can smell when you take a sip and my latte definitely hit the coffee flavor profile but lacked the sweetness I love so I recommend a syrup that will sweeten it up like liquid cane. My "hot"coffee also had a great smell but sadly was luke warm at best, the shop has two sweetener options at the self service station (stevia and brown granular sugar) I used the brown sugar and getting it to dissolve in the coffee was difficult. For my two 12oz drinks I paid $9.14 I think with a little more trial and open conversation with the barista I can find a great sweet coffee profile Bc the beans truly have a great flavor . read more

I really enjoyed my visit to Plumb Line Coffee and everything I or my friend tried was great. I spent a few hours here as I was catching up with a friend and we were working on a project on our computer. So I had time to start with one coffee--the caramel whiskey latte--and later another (the "authentic Cuban" as well as a cinnamon roll along the way. My friend opted for the creme brulee latte and raved about it. The caramel whiskey latte is delicious, the cuban was super stout but good, and the Cinnamon Roll was pretty great. Prices are a little high and service takes a little bit but it's understandable why as they're using great ingredients (from what I can understand organic as possible and locally sourced when that's a possibility as well) and really taking their craft seriously (it looks a bit like a lab with beakers and equipment when they're working on a craft coffee, they have all the bells and whistles in terms of equipment to make your coffee just perfect). It's also a nice location, good atmosphere in a decent spot. The service was super friendly. I'll definitely give them another stop some time. read more

All around good coffee. It's not my favorite but I'd still recommend. Nice staff and nice location.

It was my first time here, and I was blown away by the customer service from the baristas and food/drink quality. The barista that helped me was very informative and recommended some drinks based on the answers I gave for what I like to drink. The avocado toast was to die for, it tasted so fresh and my fat self wanted more but held off since I already had this huge cinnamon roll waiting for me. The iced latte was so delicious. I'm one of those chicks that go to StarBucks and get those sweet "coffee" drinks, but this latte I had was perfectly balanced with the sweet and coffee taste. I really enjoyed it. So happy I tried this place out. I'm definitely swinging by again when I'm on this part of town. read more

This whiskey caramel latte was the best! They take their time to handcraft your drink so sit down and enjoy this cute little space with a book and relax.

Talk about a hip new spot for some amazing coffee! What a fantastic experience. Plumb Line has coffee that is superior to pretty much any place in the Clarksville surrounding area. I had a cold Cuban. My husband had the typical Cuban Latte. We were pleased with the flavor of the coffee and the amazing service we received. Left with a light/medium blend coffee for home. Will definitely be back soon to enjoy the amazing atmosphere and great coffee! PS - Sheena is the best. read more

Good lattes and the staff are always so nice. Love the ambiance of this coffee shop too, it's a smaller shop but it definitely packs a punch. the prices are average coffee shop prices but personally I'd rather support a local owned/small business coffee shop, then a fast paced chain with not so great coffee. Support your local business! I Would 100% recommend this place. :-) read more

Plumb Line Coffee - Drip coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Clarksville, Tennessee

I had been hearing great things about this place for a while now. I just hadn't made my way down there.... embarrassingly enough it's pretty close to where I live. Face palm. The space it's quite small, but it's pretty inviting. There is a parking lot behind the space, but I didn't park there. I parked a block up and walked. This location is perfect for apsu students since it's right in front of the main campus entrance. Before you even walk up you can smell the amazing aroma of coffee. Like i mentioned, the space is very inviting and cozy. There are and stools when you first walk in and tables and chairs in the back. There's a little nook for you to purchase coffee related items. I got the Cuban iced coffee. It was delicious. I wanted more. I can't believe it took me this long to stop in. Can't wait to come back. read more

This was my first time here. I've been trying to find a coffee shop in this area that makes a good Cuban. It wasn't mouth watering, but it was still great. I think next time I order it I will request about half oz of the condensed creamer. It wasn't as smooth as I expected it to be compared to others I have had, but again, still very good. The place was pretty quiet and trendy. It's a great spot to get some studying or work done with your laptop. It was still pretty full of customers scattered throughout the coffee shop. It really close to Austin Peay State University. I wish this coffee shop existed back when I was a college student. They have some couch furniture towards the back that's pretty comfy, otherwise tall bar type tables and chairs throughout. This totally would have been my hang out spot. I'll have to come back to try some of the other menu items. I seen a few items I made a mental note to come back and try. And definitely interested to try their coffee. So next time I have a coffee date with a friend, I'm definitely recommending we come to #PlumbLineCoffee. Staff was pretty friendly too. Look forward to coming back. Parking was a bit challenging only because I was unfamiliar to that specific area. But there is street parking and a lot on both sides of the shop. read more

Great little coffee shop. As an avid local coffee shop goer, I appreciate them trying to educate everyone on coffee, brew and why using less sweetness is key to enjoying a real coffee. Got the avocado toast too, really good. Burrito was nice but a little spicy for my children. read more

After seeing great reviews on here and reading about specialty house made syrups, it really made me excited to check out a coffee shop in Clarksville after only seeing Starbucks and having other local coffee that wasn't up to par with my expectations. My hubs got the bourbon vanilla latte and I got the dark chocolate latte. The kids (1 & 7) and I shared a blueberry muffin. The coffee was fantastic! It's been the best that I've had in Clarksville so far! The dark chocolate was rich and creamy, with a bit of sweet. The bourbon vanilla was good, too. I only tried a sip and it was less sweet than my mocha, so I didn't pay much mind to it. Plus, I'm not much a bourbon drinker so I can't comment to the flavor of it much further than that. The blueberry muffin was really good. My 1 year old ate majority of it. The blueberries tasted fresh and a littler tart, just the way they should be. The atmosphere is trendy industrial. The majority of seating is High tables and chairs, with a lounge area in the back made up of a couch and comfy chairs. The only reason I don't give this a 5 star is because of the price. These prices are expected in a place more like Seattle. They do acknowledge that they have higher prices because of better quality. So if you're coming to grab a decent priced drink, expect to pay at least a dollar more than you're expecting. Otherwise, great coffee and great staff! read more

My husband and I love coming here on the weekends and getting our daily fix of coffee and yummy treats such as a brownie. read more

Such a cute find! I really liked the look of the space, it was a nicely curated shop with plenty of spaces to sit. I do wish that the door wasn't right where we ordered because that got confusing whenever anyone new entered. All of the girls working were so kind and welcoming! My main reservation was the espresso in my latte tasting just a bit off, but I understand as a barista how that's an easy mistake! read more

I work from home typically, so having an amazing coffee shop is essential to get away, work in different scenery, and grab a great cup of coffee. Or in my case, a very pretty cappuccino! The owners are really helpful to everyone (you don't need to be a coffee snob at all). They have a few flavors that aren't just sugary syrups that cover up the taste of the espresso. A vanilla bourbon or whiskey caramel flavor help sweeten up the drink if you are so inclined. Seriously try a latte though without it.. the espresso they use is top notch. The chill atmosphere is what I love the most. Plenty of seating & WIFI works well. Oh and they even have Gluten Free pastries! What more could a girl ask for? read more

Plumb Line Coffee - Cappuccino in all its glory! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Clarksville, Tennessee

Plumb Line Coffee is a neat spot in Clarksville with an awesome atmosphere, and it is definitely a place to stop and visit while in town. The coffee shop literally has slow drip coffee in their windows which is awesome and I'm assuming something they serve throughout the day. However, the only reason this place received 4 stars instead of 5 is because the cold brew was a little bitter and the bourbon stout cold brew had no hint of bourbon. My wife purchased the sunflower latte and it was better than the cold brew and had a great flavor but overall I would definitely give them a try because it could have just been an off day. read more

It was very hard coming from having a local coffee shop on about every corner in STL, to going to TN and having to drive miles for one ( and hunt for a speciality coffee shop). This was a gem in the middle of a college town. They have plenty of interesting options as drinks go, and I really enjoy the in-house syrups they make. I had the Whiskey Caramel latte and my SO had the Cherry Bomb Soda. The soda was super interesting and I don't think I would ever get it again. I could appreciate it but the flavors were just too much for my palate. On street parking but it looked like they had a parking lot in the back? Maybe not. They had merchandise and they were out of the stickers, but I picked up a post card instead. For a Sunday, they were extremely busy! read more

One of the best Cuban lattes I have ever had! The bag of Ethiopian coffee I took home was delicious as well. A definite favorite coffee shop in Clarksville. The service was quick and friendly and the owners got the vibe right. Third wave without being overly stuffy or arrogant. read more

Very happy to have a great coffee shop in Clarksville! The owners are really friendly and they always have a great suggestions for you if you're not sure what to get.
