This is such a cute hidden gem coffee shop in East Nashville! I absolutely loved the greenery,…read moremerch and unique flavors they had for coffee. Notably, they had the cutest coffee served in a honey bear cup! For my order, I went with the cloud matcha with watermelon water. This was super refreshing for a hot day, it was a great mix of the matcha earthiness and the freshness of the watermelon water. I will say that the pricing is a bit steep at this shop, I really just got a matcha cold foam with watermelon water and this cost around $9 with tax. For me, that's a bit too expensive but the drink itself tasted great and the staff was super friendly!

Free street parking is a win, the passion tea I ordered was good, and the WiFi was solid, which made it a great place to hang out or get some work done. They're open late (until 6pm), which is rare and appreciated (!!), and the barista was super friendly. Ironically, I was given a paper cup, so I didn't get to experience the actual "ugly mug" part yet--but it gave me a reason to go back. Definitely a place East Nashville people clearly love.

I stopped in to Flora + Fauna on a late Friday morning after having it on my "to try" list for what…read moreseemed like ages. It's a popular spot but they moved pretty quickly. I'd liken its vibe a hybrid coffee shop and fast casual dining. I ordered an iced pecan (hello?!) latte and spring turkey sandwich. Both were excellent. The espresso is fresh, the milk is local, and the syrups are homemade. There's no photos because I think everyone will look at me if I snap a pic and it was too good to stop and stage my order. The sandwich was experimental but not so much that I couldn't enjoy the risks they took with a blueberry compote mayo. Only thing is I would have cooked the roasted potatoes about 3 minutes longer for a crispier side. But I'm just nitpicking, everything was phenomenal. If you're looking to support local, add this hidden gem to your list!

Lovely little coffee spot with solid pastries too! The line was quite long on a Saturday morning,…read morebut they move relatively quickly. The selection of breakfast and pastry options is extensive and tempting. They have a ton of god gluten free and vegan options too. I ended up getting a vegan chocolate coconut scone because it looked better than any of the other treats, and it was so perfectly savory and sweet at the same time. The scone itself had a nice doughy saltiness to it that was matched by the sweet chocolate chunks! The lattes were good. I had a whole milk latte and appreciated the care they put into the art. Parking is quite crowded but people are constantly going in and out so you shouldn't have to wait long for a spot to open!

I enjoyed the intimate feeling of the coffee shop, it wasn't too crowded and the wait time was short given there was only one couple ahead of us!

2.5 rounded up to 3 stars…read more We bought 2 drinks and 2 meals with gluten free bread and it came up to $45. You do have to pay extra for the gluten free bread here. The coffee was okay but the prickly pear sparkling limeade was horrendous and went straight down the drain. The avocado toast was fine and the gf bread was not too dry to hold together. We also tried lox but they really do need to look into getting gf bagels. The lox on the gf bread didn't really work because they really skimped on the cream cheese. Like I mean a pitiful amount for 2 big thick pieces of gf bread. Also, we just finished eating and belly rumblings are already happening so the food may or may not have been cross-contaminated with gluten. We know this is a risk whenever we go out to eat but this is important for celiacs to know. Do I think we'd go again? No, its not worth the drive or the price.

With the volume of independent coffee shops these days, it's a bit hard to say anything negative…read moreabout any of them. They are ran mostly by families, they pay attention to the quality of what they serve and more often than not, have staff that genuinely enjoy being there. Once in a while, however, one encounters something truly remarkable that does not just break from the mold, but has that wow factor. Forevermore has that. Owned by a husband and wife duo, JP and Mary McLeod, Forevermore focuses on something that other places don't give much attention to: matcha. Ceremonial grade matcha of highest caliber imported from Japan. The couple lived in Uganda, Forevermore established as a project focused on sustainability. But, not only that, inside it is genuinely beautiful. There is a store of all kinds of cute things and the space feels like no other coffee shop. It's full of light, it's modern, yet also cozy. For those reasons, from the quality of drinks here, to the unbelievably beautiful ambiance and of course, kind staff, Forevermore is truly the ultimate place to enjoy a beverage.
