    Coffee bar

    This little coffee shop has a very creative menu. They serve alcohol and food in addition to coffee. There's plenty of parking on the street or the side lot. The place has a cool vibe with lots of seating. Will be back!

    Haley's Comet was delicious. The sourdough bagel was soft and crispy. The vegan sausage had a lot of flavor even though I mostly got a bean flavor. The layout of the shop is very cute and aesthetic. I love the way the sunlight hits on one side of the shop.

    cool place!! epic latte art and barista was nice. the vibe was just not totally for me, all dark grey interior.

    Mocha, caramel latte, and an everything bagel

    Cute place with a clean and bright aesthetic. Coffee was good, and the latte art was very cute. Bagels were tasty and reasonably priced. Was pretty quiet on a weekday morning and would make a good place to study or work because it has plenty of outlets in convenient spots.

    Retrograde coffee was pretty good. The bagel was standard and had a good cream cheese ratio. The caramel latte I got was good! Overall I thought the ample seating was perfect for people who are looking to sit with groups or for laptop work. There were tons of outlets which made it seem convenient for people working from home at the cafe. I felt like the service aspect could be improved and some mini steps to improve seating/the overall experience could help the business excel even more

    Food and drinks were wonderful! Love the atmosphere as well!

    This is one of my favorite sandwich places to eat. I am genuinely impressed with the service as…read morethey can be swamped and the team tries their best to keep up with the line. 1. They let you try really anything to make sure you'll like it. A good example is truffle cream, but even the cheeses. 2. They try and get ahead of the line. By that I mean while they are making sandwiches they reach out to get the next order, and I'm always impressed that they remember the order. If they don't, or are not confident they do follow up. 3. Lexi and Sam today were amazing handling sandwiches and the customers with grace and kindness. They made us feel like we were special and again didn't make us feel rushed. 4. Additionally, I have an allergy and Lexi was completely understanding. She not only switched gloves but she made my sandwich in a completely different area to make sure nothing was cross contaminated. 5. I have never been disappointed in a sandwich I have gotten here. "Negatives" it should be said that the sandwiches are on the expensive side. Especially if you add anything extra. Which is why I tend to come here as a treat, a friend is in town, or if someone hasn't tried this place before. Surprisingly the sandwiches are big and it can be tough to finish the full sandwich in one sitting, but also that can be dinner or lunch tomorrow. As far as I know I haven't found a free parking area, so you do have to pay for parking.

    Excellent customer service, and very good sandwiches. I just discovered All'Antico Vinaio, and…read morebased on the stellar reviews I had to give it a try. All three people behind the counter greeted me enthusiastically and with big smiles when I walked in. I perused the menu and opted for La Toscana. While I was waiting, I was enticed by the beautiful display of delicious and fresh ingredients in the display case. Every sandwich is made to order, but they worked very quickly so I didn't have to wait long. Overall the sandwich was excellent. In particular the Truffle Honey really took it over the top in terms of great flavors. I did feel that the focaccia was a bit too crispy, at least to my taste. I'm not sure if this was a one-off issue or if this is how they always make the bread. I would have preferred the focaccia to be quite a bit softer, but maybe that's just my personal preference. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, but it was a very hot day so I stayed inside with the air conditioning. The place is really clean with some nice decor. The experience was really good, and I would certainly recommend this as a great sandwich shop with excellent Italian ingredients. I'll just hope for softer focaccia next time.

I had the El Diablo, made with chicken, onions, peppers, jalapeño, lettuce, tomato, and pepper jack. Just the right amount of spice and the chicken was moist. Other orders were turkey and avocado, chicken Caesar, buffalo chicken, the Philly cheese, the chopped cheese. They also have a burger, a falafel wrap, various grilled and breaded chicken options. We got the chips and guac, which came in a huge portion size for less than 10 bucks. We got the carne asada fries and the fries were hot and crispy, loaded with steak, sour cream, and veggies. Other sides, including chips, are available, as well as tacos, burritos, and an extensive breakfast selection (available round the clock). Everyone really enjoyed their selections. VERY affordable. Each sandwich was 10-12 dollars and we got 13-14 sandwiches, sides, and chips, plus tip and tax for 204. This will become part of our regular office rotation.

    Before you visit 615 Deli, be aware that parking is a nightmare. The lot only contains four spots,…read moreand those are perpetually taken. Strangely, those cars don't move for hours, so who are these motorists? Parking tends to be notoriously tough for any business in the Belmont area, so be prepared. The food is okay, not the five-star affair everyone claims, but good enough. After hiking several miles from my parking spot to reach this elusive deli, I've had several sandwiches over the years. They aren't bad, but they don't wow me either. The deli certainly slices their meats and cheeses fresh on the spot. But even that doesn't take the sandwiches to the pinnacle of sandwichhood. And my goodness, those booths have the most uncomfortable wooden backing at the most atrocious angle! You'll notice if you sit in a booth, and you might need back surgery afterward. It's still a place worth visiting, especially if you're a Belmont student and are able to walk over.

I'm a soup lover so I can totally eat it all year round (yes, during the summer heat too). The pasta was good and the salad too. They have a market to get products to cook at home too so it's perfect to grab some food, get inspired and take home some ingredients and make your own. The staff was friendly and the place to seating arrangement was a bit out there but overall the atmosphere flowed great. Parking is tricky around the area but Germantown is like that.

Please fix the menu to include that cheese is involved, as I would have specified "no cheese" on our order. I'm sure the store is fun or dine in is an experience, but other than the hand made pasta, I was not impressed and probably wouldn't order here again based on food alone. I do appreciate the quick service and cleanliness of the establishment. Edit: thank you for your reply, Ryan. I tried emailing the restaurant, as I have my receipt. Please let me know how I can get that to you.

    OH MY GOODNESS.... SO DELISH!…read more We've tried some of the other top spots in Nashville and this one is my absolute favorite! It is a tiny place with some seating in front area AND they are partnered with the next door bar, so you can get your food and go next door to eat (& drink). The guys at there and staff next door were all very nice - and kind enough to help with recommendations on what to order - I originally wanted something else but they were all sold out so I had to get my 2nd choice. Food! I got the Dirtybird Sandwich (2 jumbo tenders topped with pimento cheese, pickles, hot sauce, & comeback sauce) served with coleslaw - so messy and so yummy! Warning- limited hours... so be sure to check before you go - we got extremely lucky and got there for the last order. Would I go back? OH FOR SURE!

It's a small location with no indoor seating at a glance & a few dedicated outdoor spots. After ordering, we learned that you can go inside the bar next door to eat. Our food was fresh & it's on a food tour because a group came up behind us. There's street parking in the area which can be easy to secure depending on the time & day you visit.
