    Chicken biscuit with goat cheese and pepper jelly. Side of potatoes.
    Tonisha B.

    I added this place to my running list of restaurants to try after I stumbled upon it via Google search. I really thought I would love it based off the Google reviews but I should've came to Yelp first lol The service and quaintness of the shop were nice however the food wasn't anything to write home about. It was like a step above a hotel breakfast. The potatoes didn't taste fresh at all and I love potatoes. It seemed like they had been sitting in a warmer or something in the back. I thought the biscuit was going to blow me away but it was meh. The pancakes tasted like a box mix too.

    WOW! The best French toast I've ever had!! Stuffed Brie! So fluffy, and yummy! The pancakes were DELICIOUS!!!! Coffee, hot chocolate and freshly squeezed orange juice! YUMMM!!! The spot is very low key and chill

    French Toast

    Small restaurant. Long wait to get in. Tight seating. Decent food. And the service could have been better. I had French Toast with banana toppings.

    I came to Nashville for my daughters cheerleading competition and when I'm out of town I love to find new places to visit. Sky blue had high ratings on Yelp and they did not disappoint. I caught an Uber over and arrived at this small location that is in a neighborhood across from a school. At first I was a little skeptical but decided to dine anyway. The wait was about 15 minutes but once we got in everything took off. Our server was great and made a great selection with the French toast. I ordered the French toast, a side of home fries and some bacon. The BACON WAS GREAT!!! I really wish I had more that 2 pieces. The French Toast was AMAZING!!! I love the plate they use as it keeps the French toast warm. The French toast was so good I ordered another. Overall this is a great spot that is tucked away in the neighborhood. The food is GREAT and I'd definitely go back if I were in Nashville again.

    A local staple in East Nashville, but far off the beaten path, so many people don't realize it is here. You can find street parking not far. And there is almost always a line to get in (only 5 minutes for us this time). Service was on point, although I do see some reviews that say otherwise. I will note that it is a small crew working here, so if you are a Karen, this is not your place to grab breakfast. Place is quaint and has a small town feel to it. Menu has a lot of interesting items and I will definitely get back to try other items. High on my list is the Brie French Toast the guy next to us got. Coffee is excellent and I should have asked the source. Food is very good, although my mind was more interested in the southwest than my mouth was that day. I won't fault the cafe for this, as the food was great, just not what I had thought it would be like. The ATB my girlfriend had was superb. Would I return? Yes, and I already said that. There are quite a few things on the menu I would like to try.

    I had a really good, quick breakfast at Sky Blue Cafe. It is a great neighborhood spot that has 10-12 tables inside and lots of small town charm. The first time I tried to go there, there was a large crowd out front waiting for tables - no waiting inside because there isn't enough room. I was very happy that I was able to get a table on my second attempt as it wasn't as crowded. I got a breakfast sandwich on a biscuit and a side of home fries. I wish the home fries were a little bit crispier, but the food was good overall. I also enjoyed my iced latte too. If I went back, I'd probably try the pancakes, as those looked good.

    I'm so glad that we've finally found a great brunch spot to enjoy and eat at! We're currently here on a visit to see Pearl Jam and have tried other breakfast spots but they weren't as good here. We walked in the door and didn't realize that you had to wait outside to check in but you know a place is going to be good when the inside is filled. So we waited around 15 minutes everyone was sweet and we sat down ordered our food immediately. My boyfriend got the syl breakfast ruben and it was so saucy and delicious super flavorful well made I kept taking a bit out of his. My friend got an omelette and hot honey chicken biscuit, the omelette was also flavored nicely paired well with the pico that was on top and super cheesy. I got the hot honey chicken biscuit and I also enjoyed it, the chicken was seasoned perfectly and it wasn't spicy but also loved the home made fries that it came with.

    So glad we Found this neighborhood hang for bfast

    How much do I love finding a cool neighborhood eatery? It's the best! We were staying at the Russell Hotel and this cozy spot is right down the road! This place checked all the boxes, the ambiance is funky and quirky with fun flannel tablecloths, local art, even gnomes, owls, and kitties. The service was lightning fast, and our service was satisfactory albeit a tad taciturn. We didn't realize you were supposed to wait outside... and a slight comment was issued, but it's all good. A little odd, but hey, who am I to say. It's a very inclusive and welcoming space! And the food is outrageously delicious and priced to spare your wallet from overload! I had a classic breakfast of eggs, sausage, potatoes and rye toast. The rye toast tasted moldy and old so I didn't eat it. The tea was fabulous! A garden earl grey that I ended up purchasing some extra teabags! Hubby had a tower of breakfast favorites, with pancakes, French toast, eggs and bacon. He said the coffee was superb! All in all, we really liked this local restaurant and would come back should we be in the area again!

    Ugh! I wish they are closer to us so I can go as often. Food is always amazing. Service is always great. Steven is awesome and friendly. The price is great for the portion you're getting. Worth coming every time.

    Walked in on a rainy day . Amazing hot cocoa with marshmallows , gluten free pancakes ... omelettes were fresh and great sized . Nicole our server was kind and knowledgeable of the menu. We loved it here . Rustic ambiance . Cozy and welcoming .

    Em's Bowl
    Kevin J.

    I was hungry and it filled me up. I had the Em's bowl, nothing too exciting to report. It came with sausage gravy, potatoes, biscuits, eggs, and cheese. LOTS OF CHEESE. Taste was sort of bland, not much in the way of seasoning. Having waited 10-15 mins to be acknowledged at the stand and another 15 mins for a seat for one, I expected more. It's a small space, which explains the wait. Try for yourself, just not a repeat for me. Not terrible, but also not worth the trip for me.‍

    Ask the Community - Sky Blue Cafe

    Do they offer gluten-free options?

    While I don't believe they have a GF-specific menu, there are items that are GF and you can also ask them to modify an order to make it GF, I would assume. Give 'em a call; they can answer more specifically.

    Do they offer bottomless mimosas (esp on Sunday)?

    No they do not...

The East Nasty was pretty good overall, the fried chicken and gravy were flavorful and comforting, but the biscuit underneath was a little underwhelming. BUT oh boy the B-Roll... omg WOW. I've genuinely never had anything like them before. My husband called them "cinnabon on steroids" The pastry was light, warm, airy, and perfectly soft. Then the gooey pecan topping was sooo good, and the cream cheese icing on the side tied everything together perfectly. Absolute chef's kiss. Honestly, order this when you come here.

Breakfast all day is a good fit for their offering. I know I had a breakfast casserole once, my wife ordered a cheeseburger which I finished for her. I did not sample her bagel (breakfast) but she enjoyed. Tiny biscuits and jelly were always welcome. I would go again in a minute. Overall, a highlight of our Nashville experience. Such a pleasant break from all the fast and over fried food. They actually offer salads which are scarce on Broadway (near the music scene).

I'll start off by saying I'm not the biggest fan of pancakes, nor cinnamon and have to be in the mood for both. Today happened to be the day. I tried their pancake sampler, with cinnamon, Caribbean and banana bread pancakes. They were all good, fluffy, airy and flavorful. Banana bread with their maple syrup, Caribbean with cinnamon. But, their cinnamon pancakes were amazing!! Those were definitely the winner!!! Best pancakes I've ever had. Their three pig omelette was pretty bomb as well. I got some of their sausage gravy on the side, to douse the omelette and that was definitely the move there. I think this is the first time I didn't need to use cholula for flavoring. The location is centralized, set up nicely, with huge open indoor space with plenty of seating outside. The service was great as well. Attentive and fast. All in all, I wish I had the time to come here yesterday, so I could try something different today. But, I took the place for everything it had and it definitely delivered. Highly recommend and I will be back, when I'm in the area for sure!
