Biscuits and gravy with a side sweet hot chicken breast
Daniel Z.

I have to be honest, walked into two other places in the downtown prior to settling on this place (other two looked historic etc but you ordered at the counter ). We were seated at a booth near the back of the bar and it was perfect (fairly quiet and out of the way). Our waitress, I believe Kelly, was absolutely outstanding. Pleasant, we never needed anything as she was very efficient but let us enjoy our meal. Now the food. Maybe the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had. Chunks of sausage with tons of flavor in the gravy. Biscuit was incredible. Silly as this sounds, even the over easy eggs were great. Bacon great flavor but maybe needed another minute in the pan. I ordered a sweet hot chicken breast on the side-holy smokes that was good. Kelly topped off our great experience/meal with to-go coffees.

The Peacemaker
Christina L.

We went here for breakfast, and it was so good! We both got The Peacemaker and did a mix and match for the eggs Benedict. Coffee was good. Server was attentive. The menu had so many options, and we would love to go back and try other menu items.

Ordered a delivery order of biscuits and gravy and no gravy was included in the bag. Defiantly ruined my breakfast.

I loved the menu... so many things to consider... fried green tomatoes... yum... spicy chicken on a homemade biscuit... yum.... Everything looks amazing... It was really hard to make a choice.. and parking is not easy in Franklin but worth it... very cute area...

Appetizer French Toast Bites Starter

The French toast bites were AMAZING. I ordered the biscuits and gravy but did not care for the gravy, it tasted more like Alfredo sauce which ruined the dish for me. My husband really liked his dish.

White Chocolate Bread Pudding Pancakes
Tiffany K.

I am not the biggest fan of breakfast foods in general, but I love pancakes. And these pancakes... I would come back for. So fluffy! The white chocolate chips satisfied my sweet tooth. The mimosas were great, but the color made me a a bit skeptical (just my opinion). The server was very attentive!

This is the fried green tomato
Angela P.

While the atmosphere and environment were pleasant and clean, the food was lacking. The white chocolate bread pudding pancakes were very good but the southern breakfast, especially the TINY fried green tomato left a lot to be desired. The service was so-so at best. We had to stop our waitress to ask for refills and to check on our food order. Next time we'll go to Puckett's

Biscuits & Gravy
Esther D.

It was buzzing, with a bit of a wait but good casual brunch food. Bacon cooked perfectly.

Cute decor inside near the booths

This was a fun, bright and open brunch place we tried in downtown Franklin. There were a lot of things on the menu and everything we tasted was delicious. We especially liked the French toast bites. I usually don't eat French toast but these were delicious. They tasted almost like a churro but not as dry, with cream filling inside, and a buttery dip on the side. Their side of potatoes were seasoned perfectly. The bacon was also perfectly crispy and didn't have a lot of fat. They offer different flavored mimosas, and I had the blueberry lavender. It tasted great and I could have several at a time. Their breakfast tacos came with different meat add in options, avocado, and a really good chipotle sour cream. We had a kiddo with us and asked to get that order first. It came out extremely fast and that was very much appreciated. Our server checked on us and made sure everything was to our liking. I had a special request on my order and when the server realized I may have been displeased, he fixed it immediately. (I could have communicated my request better but he resolved it without me asking, which was excellent service.) Others in the group had eggs Benedict and biscuits and gravy, which was also delicious. The public bathroom is in the basement of the main building, so be aware you will need to exit the restaurant and use the elevator to access it. I would rate this place 5 stars easily, but none of the staff smiled. The food was great and the service was good too, but I would have like to have been greeted with a smile. So that's why I'm rating it 4 stars today.

Do they have bottomless mimosas?

Not when I was there.

Are there gluten free options?

They said they were going to get a gluten free menu at some point like their other locations. For now you can modify some dishes, but they don't have gluten free bread or anything like that.

I walked in, glanced at the menu for approximately 2.7 seconds, and knew exactly what destiny had in store for me: the Salted Queen Caramel Latte. (Yes ma'am. Royalty in a cup.) I placed my order with a young lady who was polite, friendly, and engaging, the kind of person who makes you feel like you've been coming there for years, even if you just figured out where to stand. Five-star customer service before the caffeine even hit. Seating options? Oh, they've got you covered. You can sit outside upstairs and pretend you're in a Hallmark movie, or stay inside where it's cool and comfortable. We chose inside. The high-top table had USB ports and electrical plugs, which is a classy move. Nothing says "we care" like letting people charge their phone while they charge their soul. And yes, there's WiFi if you feel the need to actually work instead of just looking productive. Then I heard it, my name called out like I'd just won a prize. I stepped forward... and met my Salted Queen Caramel Latte. Wow. It was better than expected. Smooth. Rich. Perfectly balanced. I took one sip and this Old GOAT almost fainted. Which is ironic... because that's exactly where we were. If you live in Franklin and haven't tried The Fainting Goat Coffee, you're missing out. Go meet the Queen. Just be prepared... you might faint.

Great experience here! Immediately was thrilled for the parking lot and ease of coming and going…read more Once stepping in, I was thankful for how they set up their orders with a great layout of how they used their space. It didn't take them long for them to make my drink, a salted queen latte, even though they were quite busy. I'm sure thanks to how they have their space setup as well as some fabulous workers! Loved how there were more private booth spaces. Genius! The drink was nummy + exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much, Fainting Goat Coffee!! Hey next time carry more sizes of shirts so I can continue to spread word of your great coffee shop!

I stopped in on a crisp fall morning, and the moment I took that first sip, I knew I'd found something special. My latte was silky, rich, and perfectly balanced -- with a little heart in the foam that matched how I felt holding it. The aroma alone could make anyone fall in love with mornings again. The staff was welcoming and genuinely kind, the kind of people who remember your smile and make sure your coffee is made just the way you like it. I took my cup to go and wandered through the nearby historic grounds, surrounded by golden leaves and sunshine -- it was the perfect pairing of caffeine and calm. Whether you're passing through or local to the area, this is the kind of café that makes you want to linger, journal, or just sit and watch the day unfold. 1819 Coffee isn't just coffee -- it's comfort in a cup.
