    Pet friendly makes it enjoyable for your fur buddies.

    This is a hidden gem right in downtown Franklin. If you haven't been; put it on your bucket list. The staff is outstanding, not to mention the food. They have a food truck out front and the owners are the cooks. Everything is delicious and not greasy like other food trucks. It's a full bar, so sit back and relax.

    Absolutely addicting! Strolling down main st on Sunday afternoon I followed a sign that read live music at 1 pm it was 12 ish and half of shops closed as I'm new to this area.. I followed the sidewalk easily marked signs and was very happily surprised by the quant atmosphere and friendly service that greeted me immediately and I had the suggested Mediterranean Quiche made fresh that morning and mocha latte house brew I think... beer on tap if I had wanted and other menu items to choose from as well... coffee house vibe or village pub ! Very cool place!

    What a neat little spot...tucked back off the main drag. Unfortunately (for me,) I could only stay a short bit and missed the dude setting up to play music for the night, but I was waiting on a reservation for a spot to eat and only had 20 minutes. This spot definitely has the rathskeller vibe screaming. Loved the Coffee Can sign on the restroom. Definitely stopping off to have one of the local beers and a small bite to eat the next time in town...I mean...how often do you see an East German flag?? Last time I saw one---was when the wall fell when I was in West Germany.

    Great place any time of day! Sandwiches only for lunch (coffees, beers, wines) music on weekend; great local "underground" little place!

    It's hidden behind the main strip of downtown Franklin in an authentically old building.

    I'm leaving this review because something recently happened that felt very unprofessional…read more My fiancé has ordered the exact same drink for over a decade -- a venti vanilla latte with whole milk, whipped cream, and 3 pumps of classic syrup. Recently at this location the classic syrup has frequently been missing and he has had to ask for it at the window. The whipped cream is also missing about half the time. Mistakes happen and we've always been polite about it. However, during our last visit we overheard a female manager tell an employee that instead of him asking for three pumps he should "ask for six next time." The manager's tone when she said this was extremely rude and completely unnecessary, especially considering we've never given the staff a hard time about mistakes. What's frustrating is that we visit other Starbucks locations in the surrounding area and they never seem to have this issue. The drink is always made correctly and consistently there. At this particular location, it often feels like the classic syrup isn't being added at all or possibly not the correct amount, and the whipped cream is frequently forgotten. We've always been respectful customers and have never caused an issue for the staff. I hope someone from Starbucks leadership reviews this because the rest of the team here has always been friendly, and it would be a shame for management behavior and repeated order issues to affect what is otherwise a good location.

    Horrible! Lobby always closed. No order ahead! Only drive through is open. Craziness! Saturday at…read more11:58 am and only drive through is open. Used to cone here every time we went to Lowes or Aldi. Never again. Will just stop at Ingles starbucks and get our drinks!
