Sam and Zoe's is one of those places where you know you're going to get a solid coffee. Every time I've been, the coffee was consistently good. The Cuban is my go to and it's very good here. They breakfast sandwiches are pretty good as well. Most of the time the service is pretty good. If you're in the area, this place won't disappoint as far as a solid cup of coffee. They typically have parking in the front and back. There is also a ramp for accessible entrance. They have outdoor seating. read more

Sam and Zoe's is in my rotation for coffee shops. It's not my favorite, but they do have a great consistent latte. The to staff is nice most of the time and if it's not too crowded it's a chill spot. It's noisy though so if you're looking for a quiet space, this isn't it. Good coffee though. read more

I stopped here on a whim after a hair appointment. I was quickly greeted and placed an order to go. It wasn't particularly busy but it took a while to get my food. I ordered the tomato and avocado wrap, which is suppose to include sprouts but it didn't have them. It tasted fresh, but was a little bland. I wish it just had a little more to the flavor or even if the lettuce was massaged and salted since there was a lot of lettuce (and I missed the sprouts). Overall, not a bad spot to grab a bite but it didn't stand out. Maybe I need to try other menu items! read more

Very quaint local coffee shop. A great place to hang out and catch up with friends. The decor is cozy and charming. I tried the hot and iced lattes. Didn't love the hot but the iced was decent. My friend had the burrito and it looked tasty, and a good sized portion. Service was fairly quick at 7am, I only waited a few minutes. They have some parking (yay) and a clean bathroom. read more

On our way out of town, I wanted to stop and get a coffee for the drive home. Sam and Zoe's was local and convenient so we pulled off. They have a small parking lot for about 4 cars and stairs and a ramp up to the house-like structure where the business is located. The surrounding neighborhood is cute. It looks like there might be a drive-through available. Inside, it was hot and muggy. Not sure if the A/C just wasn't on or if it wasn't working. There are a few small tables and a sort of sofa/nook-like structure. The menu has a few specialty drinks, blended coffee, standard coffee, and a few breakfast and lunch items -- simple sandwiches and burritos. My biggest problem with my visit was the service. I don't complain about service lightly and try to be very understanding of workers. However, my reception here was impressively frosty, and I wasn't the only one treated that way. I was the only one in line to order and not a single person spoke to me, despite making eye contact with at least two employees. I had to sidle up and say I was ready to order if they were ready to take it. The woman who took my order barely spoke to me at all -- not even to tell me the price of what I ordered -- and stared at me with a very surly glare. Another man came in behind me and he had a few very innocuous questions about item availability and one question about an allergen and she spoke to him with short, clipped, unhelpful answers and the most rancid tone I've heard in a while. They were slow to fix both of our orders and I was relieved when mine was done and I could go to my car and leave the incredibly bad vibes behind me. I ordered a Mayan mocha, which is a mocha with cinnamon and a little bit of heat. Unfortunately, on top of terrible service, the drink wasn't very good, either. It was shockingly thin and watery -- to the point I wondered if they'd made it with water instead of milk. The drink had almost no flavor elements of chocolate or coffee. I did get a few small flares of spice...spicy watery coffee was not at all what I wanted, though. Honestly, I initially thought I was going to give 2 stars, but writing this review I've realized there's really nothing I can say that I enjoyed about my visit, so...I guess a 1 it is. Shame to end a trip to Nashville on a low note, but we still had a good weekend in other parts of the city. read more

Please change oat milks. I love this place. I used to come here from college all the time and now I come here from work sometimes. They used to use Califia oat milk, but now they use Oatly. Oatly is terrible in my opinion and it basically ruins any oat milk beverage I would have ordered before. Minor Figures is the best, but Califia is solid. Planet oat is tolerable. Oatly is bottom tier. People used to be nicer here, but some of the newer hires do not match the originals. Anyways, I implore the owners to consider switching back to califia or even minor figures. It is a $1.25 up charge for oat milk. I order minor figures at home and can guarantee that is more than sufficient to cover the cost. Thanks guys! read more

Very very good and my new go-to Monday coffee spot! Great cuban coffee and the Macs bagel was amazing!

Pleasant service, decent coffee, food was ok - nothing special. Would go back if in the area.

It was a nice little coffee shop and served exactly what we needed. I ordered the grasshopper latte and it was delicious. My daughter was able to find something on the menu too. It seemed like a nice place to work too. read more

I go here every so often. Today I got a mint Matcha and a cookie butter latte. I would swear there was no flavor added to either. They were good lattes, but if they're actually was any flavoring added, I could never detect it. read more

I HAD to check this place out after seeing the Gilmore Girls decor they had sprinkled around the store. My friends and I drove a while to check them out and although their food was great, their service was slow and the workers were quite rude. Maybe an homage to Luke? lol I got a plain latte that took 30 minutes to make. I also ordered avocado toast and their peanut butter banana sandwich, which were both great. I would say it's worth a trip out to check them out but don't know if I'd go back. read more

Cute little coffee shop with a light menu including sandwiches. Highly recommend getting the cereal killer - it's amazing!

This place used to not be on my radar but it's mainly because I started coming here during COVID where access to places and food choices were limited and it was take-out only. They've become a favorite when it comes to coffee selections and breakfast items. I tend to gravitate towards their breakfast sandwich with sausage patty on sourdough. I would do their breakfast taco more, but it seems to leave me always wanting more for what I'm getting. If you're looking for parking, it's in the back. It's deceiving from the front - so take the block and save yourself some headache and park there. read more

Always love coming here. The parking is very difficult if they are busy but it is more on the fault of Baja Burrito. I am not going to fault them for being popular. I think it's great. For Breakfast, they have really good options. I usually get the wrap that has egg in it but they also have this tasty wrap that I have since started making at home. Whole wheat tortilla, peanut butter, banana, granola, and honey. So so so good. The wonderful smell of coffee is in the air. It's a good coffee drink stop to go to. I love the fact that they allow dogs on the porch/patio. I love taking my dog there to relax. They have good lunch options too. I uploaded photos of the menu back in 2019 and I am sure the prices would have changed since then due to inflation. Still the same food though. read more

My wrap and coffee were very good! There is a drive through but you have to order online first so that was a little odd as a non-local person. Outside of building looks a little wonky but the wrap and coffee were great. read more

Love when m in Nashville and can come here. Coffee is great, and so is the food! I've had several breakfast items from here and they've all been so very good! read more

I love Sam and Zoe's! Indoor and outdoor seating, great customer service, and the best coffee. I always get a cappuccino but im sure you cant go wrong on the menu. The half order of the avocado toast is the best! Its so good with the sprouts on it, and the half in a whole piece of toast. read more

Do you know how hard it is go find gluten free breakfast sandwiches???! Very hard. This one was the best hands down. Soft bread, the best GF bread I've had. I asked the bar what the brand was and made note! Service was quick, attentive, and friendly. This place is funky, eclectic, plays metal music over the speakers, and has small amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is a bit of a pain since they share a lot (we parked around back). Sometimes you just need a good breakfast sandwich after a 5 hour drive... read more

Pretty bad service this morning, looked like they were arguing. Also the guy in the kitchen yelled super loud at 8:45am at another employee NO body deserves to be yelled at that loud nor does a customer want to hear it. I did enjoy my French toast latte! Breakfast sandwich was not good asked for sour dough bread and it was burnt. Most likely won't come back bc the environment is not relaxing and food was made poorly. read more

This is always a great spot for lunch for me. I can always get a coffee and a great sandwich. The team is always friendly and the shop is cozy since it's in a small home. Their playlist is my favorite though. If you wanna hang out and listen to the best music and enjoy your meal this is the place to go read more

Had a decent experience at Sam & Zoe's, but came away wanting to like it more due to hearing good things about it. We ordered a Bacon/Egg/Cheese bagel and I was going to get pastries, but the entire pastry box that had 9 items written on it only had pumpkin bread so that was all I could get. The pumpkin bread was good but nothing that will blow you away, and the bagel came out about 15-20 minutes after ordering and my wife liked it, but said she has had several better bagels lately. She really enjoyed the coffee though. Overall, If I was in a rush I might stop by to get coffee/lattes, but would skip out on the food. read more

Positivity A-OK! The place itself is small, but quaint. My wife ordered the honey lavender latte; I got a small taste and it was great. I ordered a cold brew and it was little bitter, but still tasty. A couple things that could be bumped up would be the breakfast burrito (it was a little bland) and it did take quite a while. If you're in a hurry, probably not the spot for you to run in for a quick coffee. But if you're not in a rush and want to support a local spot give them a visit! read more

The place had a chill and comfortable atmosphere, service was excellent, staff was knowledgeable and engaging, I ordered a Dirty Iced Chai Latte, it was just right, definitely one of my go to places for coffee in Nashville. read more

Love this place! The service is quick, the atmosphere is cozy, and the drinks are delicious. Only downside is if you're coming here to work on something on a device there are not many plugs available. read more

Great good and coffee. I downloaded their app so I could just pick up at the drive thru window and it's so easy to use.

Cute little cafe! Simple food and drinks! Great little spot to chill! Not amazing craft coffee but still good read more

Cool Vibes! Walk in & be bathed in the smell of dark roasted coffee. Creative drinks available if you like fun flavors like marshmallow, Maple etc. Try the Mayan Mocha! The staff was exceptional & friendly! This is probably more of a grab & go spot with only a few seats available. I did notice a drive-thru. read more

Disappointed. I'm not one to write bad reviews but in a time of expensive food I'll save you some money. I will give credit for nice staff & fast service , although maybe slow down & season things. Drove by and the parking lot was full so I figured it was good. Came today for breakfast. Burrito did not come with salsa as I chose nor did it have spinach as a I added. Whole wheat tortilla not griddled, eggs not seasoned. My partner's breakfast bagel "tasted like cardboard". read more

Staff was friendly, coffee was very, very good. Breakfast sandwich was a little undercooked, but still rather tasty. Can't give it a 5-star because place was pretty dirty, inside & out. We had to ask for a rag to wipe down a table & the rag was literally black after doing so. read more

Food was super good but it was tough to find a place to park. The club salad was terrific and the chipotle chicken wrap was very flavorful.

This coffee shop is so cute! It's in a little house and they have a good range of food and beverages. I came by to grab a bagel and finish my book and it was the perfect place for that. They have good music, friendly baristas, and even a porch with lots of tables. Definitely a neighborhood gem! read more

Cute little brunch place. Coffees, smoothies, Lavender lemonade. Little covered patio. Good breakfast sandwiches.

This is a very nice place. I had a breakfast bagel sandwich. It was very good. The service was very quick and pleasant.

Visited on a busy Sunday. Service was great! The latte lacked the vanilla flavor but was nice and strong. The muffin was scrumptious. read more

Sam & Zoe's - Banana Walnut Muffin & Vanilla Latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Set just off Armory Dr in Nashville (and I mean just off, like, immediate left turn by the Shell station), this cute little place houses an eclectic coffee house that boasts both an extensive coffee menu (specialty drinks such as a carma chameleon that combines mocha & carmel, plus espresso drinks & teas), as well as a food menu, baked goods & smoothies. It's in a relaxed setting, good vibes & fairly friendly baristas. I decided to give the French toast latte with oat milk a whirl & wasn't too disappointed. In my opinion it needed more cinnamon & vanilla to really have a French toast flavor, but overall I wasn't sad that I chose it this morning. My go-to is usually iced because I'm impatient, but I would definitely come back to try a hot coffee & breakfast next time! read more

Stopped here after trying to grab breakfast at another spot. It's unassuming and tucked back off the main road. Parking was easy as there were plentiful spaces on the street (on Sunday morning), as well as spots in the front and back of the building. We ordered at the counter and then grabbed a table outside. I had a dirty chai, which was so tasty and balanced. I also had the daily special which was a jalapeño biscuit with cheddar, egg, sausage and chipotle aioli. I was surprised how big the sandwich was based on the price. The biscuit itself was so tasty. Eggs could have used a bit more salt, but overall it was a great and easy breakfast for a great price. read more
