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.

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.

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...

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.

Karina G.

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.

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

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.

First off, It's a cool place to grab a great cup of coffee. There is ample space to spread out for a work meeting or just hang out and enjoy all the beautiful glass pieces. You can also book one of there glass classes. There are glass demos, gallery tours, 15 minute seasonal glass experiences and more intensive sessions for those interested in a private session with their head of glass. I really enjoy the seasonal classes. They are short sessions that provide a great hands on experience. Booking online is easy. Once you arrive you check-in, grab safety glasses followed by a brief overview of the space. Then it's time for the fun. You select your color and are then walked through a hands on ornament making experience. It's a must try for your next date night or girls night out. There is plenty of free onsite parking available which always on plus.

I came back…read moreto try their pumpkin menu, and let's just say: come EARLY, maybe even when they first open, because the pastries were basically gone. The case was EMPTY. So, yeah, if you want food or pastries, definitely come EARLY. I got two small drinks, which came out to $15, and with the tip, it was $18 total. I got the Pumpkin Cloud Chai and the Pumpkin Pie Einspänner in matcha form. And again, I don't know what it is about Lalaland, but they just don't seem to do good matcha or chai. I had higher hopes for the chai latte, but it honestly just tasted like milk. Same with the matcha. I WILL SAY, though, their cold foam is AMAZING! I'll definitely have to come back and try an actual coffee because, so far, they don't seem to do matcha or chai very well. But the refreshers? They still hit. ‍

It was quite bland and didn't have much flavor. We decided to give it another shot by going back the next day. The banana cloud latte was delicious! We came back every day, ordering the banana cloud latte until the last day of our trip. They have seating tables available but it seems most customers, including us, are mainly here to grab a drink and then head out since there are shopping stores around.

Our sever was new but he had great energy and was very enthusiastic. One of my friends has a gluten allergy & is sensitive to egg/heavy dishes so he was diligent in checking on ingredients and substitutions for her. That said, they did not have a lot of options for her. I get it, weird dietary needs, but the kitchen's lack of substitution flexibility for allergies was surprising. It was a really nice day out so we had marked in our reservation that we wanted patio seating with a view. We were seated at a standard height half-booth table that did not have a view over the railing so it was kind of a waste. The booth material was also cracked/peeling along the seam so it was pinching my thighs (I was wearing a dress) and was uncomfortable. The food was just okay. It's definitely on the pricier side for brunch in Nashville, albeit probably in line for 12S. My partner's French toast was little burnt. The best thing was the truffle parm fries, but mainly because of the dipping sauce. I had the Beverly Club but it wasn't anything special and a little pricy for what it is. I'd be interested to see how their dinner service compares.

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. But like an oil tanker plowing through the ocean waves, that turn is going to take awhile. The first bend in that turn came in the form of Ginger tofu on a bed of kale and brown rice. Boy is that stuff ever good! Fresh, and if I'm at liberty to say, healthy. So I'll be crossing the threshold of Sunflower in the future. I'll get what my daughter had. Beats me as to what it was. She raved about it, so whatever she had, it'll be in front of me soon. Quick Tip: Look out for the cat.

I would love to give this place another shot when I return to Nashville, but I think the chik'n sandwich is permanently off my list of choices.
