Smaller sized iced Mayan mocha.
Bailey B.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Gluten free egg cheese and bacon sandwich
Alyssa C.

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...

Good place to get coffee and snacks. Coffee was nice and bold. Pastries were good. Would recommend.

Taylor R.

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

Frothy Monkey is one of those places you'd walk right past if you didn't know better... kind of…read moretucked away, charming, and quietly giving "local treasure" energy. It feels historic in the best way, like it's lived a few lives (old house shoe repair shop now a coffee spot that somehow makes you want to slow down and stay awhile). We didn't try any food this time, but based on the long line of people happily waiting for it, I'm taking that as a strong sign. The coffee, though? Legit. You can tell the beans are fresh, smooth, clean, and more "grown-up, sophisticated coffee flavor" than sugary coffee dessert. We ordered an iced caramel latte and an espresso martini (hold the cream) and both were excellent. The latte was balanced and smooth, and the espresso actually came through (not hidden under caramel). The espresso martini was the surprise star: they add an orange liqueur that gives it a little citrus lift, which makes it taste brighter and more interesting than the standard version. Naturally, we left with a bag of their espresso beans because now we're convinced we can recreate that martini at home. Will it be as good as Frothy Monkey's? Probably not. But we're going to try... you know, for science. If you like places with personality, history, and coffee that tastes like someone actually cares, this one's top of the list.

There is quite a bit of seating inside, it definitely looks smaller from the outside than it is. There's also an adorable outdoor patio with a good amount of tables. Our service was always friendly each time we went in. Mornings seemed pretty busy, there was usually a line. But as the day went on you could pop in for a drink or snack and there would be no wait. I enjoyed my coffees each day and loved the seasonal offerings they had as well! My daughter tried the chorizo biscuits and gravy one morning too and said they were very good! All in all, a cute location, great service, yummy food and drinks!

They have started doing a little better about having outlet options, but mainly at those tall, long skinny tables. The ones that aren't necessarily great for working because they're so high up and can make your legs feel weird after awhile. Haha. The other semi complaint I have is that they close early. 3 pm is early when you want to try and work. Drinks are good. I don't drink a ton of coffee these days, but what I've had there was good. I get either their chai or matcha. Both of those I enjoy! I had a sandwich there recently. I wanted to roll my eyes at the price truthfully. However, when it came.. WOAH. It was GIANT. I was thoroughly impressed. It was really really good. I had to take half of it home and put it in the fridge. When I came back home hours later... it was STILL GOOD. The bread was not soggy either! That's HUGE! Ok so overall, I highly recommend this place and it's one of my go to spots.

I'd still consider going back since they're open fairly late, which I really appreciate. There's a small parking lot next to the shop, which is convenient.

Need I mention the Bourbon list. Quite impressive. Our server was Fuller. He was so kind and so generous. When he heard we were celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary he brought a delicious caramel roll. Amazing! Thank you for allowing him to do this. Our breakfast/brunch was great! Smoke salmon bagel was so delicious! True colors Morton for (sshhhh a little but major Bagel spot by Vanderbilt). Our other meal was so packed with amazing flavors! The California bowl. My goodness so delicious. Thank you for a wonderful experience and fantastic service. Also, thank you to your hostess and other colleagues. We did some shopping talk too and found out we can find some amazingly stylish boots right at a local chain store.

We were seated for over ten minutes with no attempt to take our drink order. It should have been an indication of the experience to come. We had a dinner reservation at the same time of others. We seemed to be the "lucky"ones to be seated back at the bar area. The front and back area of restaurant definitely seemed to be keep a certain "image". We ordered the wagyu burger and rigatoni pasta. The food was lacking in finesse and execution. The pasta was overcooked was tempted to send it back. It's a chain restaurant that seems to be operating on the tails of a busy restaurant scene. The place is more about the image than the food. It's Just a spot I'd go back for a drink if someone else was picking up the tab.

All these healthy people make me embarrassed as to what I've done to my body over the past 60+ years. My daughter says that it's never too late to turn it around.

There was a salt and pepper haired woman who had an extremely unpleasant and unwelcoming attitude. I even asked a question and she ignored me. So believe those reviewers who speak on this. There's a large covered patio in the front of the restaurant, regular inside seating, and a smaller uncovered patio in the rear. I was really hoping to have a better experience here. Maybe I just ordered the wrong things, but nothing made me want to give them another chance.
