Tucked away on the side of a small office building on Conference drive across from the complex that houses The Chef's Market, Bloom & Brew is a casual, vibey and local spot serving up all the classics alongside a solid selection of pastries and baked goods. While there are a few tables outside the front door, the interior space offers a variety of seating from industrial style tables and wooden booths to a cozy old school couch and plush leather tables to a full booth tucked in a nook with a stained-glass window overhead. While I was there for the coffee, I decided to stay for the vibes and enjoy my iced latte in one of those cush leather chairs! Speaking of lattes, I am a sucker for seasonal drinks, especially those in the fall, so naturally I gravitated towards the season menu and went with an Iced Monkey Bread Latte and it was absolutely delightful! Well balanced, a tad salty, but also sweet...so good! Service was stellar from entry to exit. Chatted while ordering and then a bit while he was whipping up the goods. Super chill fella with some great coffee skills! Overall, absolutely thrilled to have found Bloom & Brew. I can already tell this spot is going to become one of my go-to's anytime I am near or in Goodlettsville!

I've been wanting to write this review because Chef's Market deserves so much more than five stars…read more My family and I have been coming here for years. We've celebrated family dinners, hosted business meetings, and made countless memories around your tables. Even after moving out of state more than 10 years ago, every single time I come back to Tennessee, my dad and bonus mom know that one stop is non-negotiable--we're going to Chef's Market. The food is incredible, and the cakes are worth the trip all by themselves. A few weeks ago, though, Chef's Market became so much more than a favorite restaurant. I got a call that my bonus mom had become very sick, and I rushed home to help care for my family. One day I stopped in to grab lunch and, of course, one of your amazing cakes to take back to the house. I was holding it together...until I wasn't. When the sweet lady behind the bakery counter asked which cake I wanted, all of the fear, exhaustion, uncertainty, and heartbreak I'd been carrying came pouring out. I couldn't stop crying. Without hesitation, she set the cake down, walked around the counter, and wrapped me in the biggest, most genuine hug. Not the kind of hug you give because you feel obligated--but the kind that says, "You're not alone." Then she prayed with me. A complete stranger saw my pain, held me tight, and promised she would continue praying for my family. As I sit in the hospital weeks later, I still think about that moment. I remember her kindness, her compassion, her gentle spirit, and the love she showed someone she had never met before. That hug meant more than she'll probably ever know. Chef's Market isn't just a restaurant with incredible food and the best cakes around. It's a place that feels like home. It's where my family has made years of memories, and now it's also the place where I was reminded that kindness still exists in this world. Thank you for feeding people in more ways than one. Thank you for caring. Thank you for reminding me that a simple act of compassion can carry someone through one of the hardest days of their life. You truly never know what someone is walking through. Your kindness made a difference in mine, and I'll never forget it. Unfortunately I have forgotten her name but I know she has beautiful black hair that smelled amazing!

The lemon cake looked amazing but tasted so odd, with fake lemon icing, even a little vinegary, with sugary, flavorless cake. I couldn't find the prices posted in the restaurant. When it's cafeteria-style and you have to quickly decide to keep the line moving, you need to know the price. Great presentation and portions, very friendly staff.

Very fitting for my first review of the new year to be Scooter's coffee! I was beyond stoked when I…read moresaw Scooter's Coffee open up a new location in Goodlettsville, located right across from what's left of Rivergate Mall. While White House is a lovely place, I no longer have to make trips out that way to get my Scooter's fix! I made my first visit through the drive-thru last week and grabbed an Iced White Chocolate. The drink was solid, but there was a slight off-note in flavor. Nothing major, but noticeable. The other thing I missed was the ole "Scoot on around". I'll give them a pass on both since they are so new! Overall, excited to have Scooter's in the neighborhood! Will certainly be returning and looking forward to see how they evolve as they settle in! First visit was a solid 4.5, but going to give them that .5 because I love me some Scooter's and have faith in this location!

Typical Latin bakery shop where it's pretty easygoing and you grab what you want they bag it up for you. We got a bag of around $20 worth of stuff and we munches religiously for around a week- great for breakfast, afternoon tea, or un cafecito! I didn't actually go into the store to reduce risk of exposure, so I'm not exactly what all the varieties were. But we ended up getting coconut flavored items, pineapple tops, and other moist and various texture and flavor breads. I mean, carbs are delicious and pair it with your favorite beverage- magic! I would love to support again one day, but I am concerned that my mother who was the one who went in notes that none of the personnel were wearing masks or gloves. The same for the customers. My mother did don both asks and gloves and practiced social distancing. However, it's concerning to hear that the business wasn't wearing any kind of PPE. I've noticed this in middle TN in general and am concerned. I would advice the team to take precautions and for that reason, I will have to give them a lower rating. However, after COVID-19, I would like to go in for the full experience and try it for myself.

I was in this area for work and was looking for some gluten free vegan sweets. It appeared that Healthy Body Bakery could satisfy that craving, as they cater to those with dietary restrictions. It's a small business, tucked behind the main street-facing businesses of a building. I was warmly greeted upon entry. They only had one gf vegan cake option on the day that I went (vanilla cake with vanilla icing), but they had several gf cupcakes and muffins available. I grabbed a cake slice (for half off!) and a cupcake. VANILLA CAKE SLICE Vegan and gluten free vanilla cake and vanilla icing. The cake was moist and the taste was ok to a seasoned vegan. What I mean by that is, for decades I've watched (and tasted) as the vegan food game evolved. Back in the 90s, vegan vanilla cake had this same beige/light brown color and flavor. So I actually knew what it would taste like before I even bought it, based on the color. However, it did not taste gluten free and that is a flex. The icing was slightly lighter than a buttercream icing, but definitely not a whipped cream icing. For people who don't like "too sweet", this icing would be perfect for you. It was sweet without the sugar rush. I would love to see them improve on their vegan vanilla cake though. If they can get it to that light and fluffy yellow vanilla color, they'd join the dozens of awesome vegan bakers across the country who've mastered this feat. MANDARIN ORANGE CUPCAKE A tasty orange flavored cupcake with the same aforementioned vanilla icing. It was moist; it did not have that typical grainy gf texture or dry gf taste. It was a very good cupcake. I believe they also have a peach gf vegan cake in their rotation. If I was in the area again, I'd definitely return to try that peach flavor.

Type of Food: Boba / Bubble Tea & Specialty Drinks Review: If you're on the nicer side of Rivergate Parkway in Goodlettsville, this spot in the shopping center right next to the hot chicken place is definitely worth checking out. It's easy to get to, and the inside is spotless--restrooms included. We tried three different boba teas, and every single one was really good. On top of that, the staff was super friendly, the service was fast, and the prices felt totally fair for what you get. It's a great, easy stop if you're craving good boba. Cons: Seating is pretty limited. They have a nice couch and a few chairs, but don't plan on bringing a large group to sit and hang out for hours. Thumbs up / Thumbs down: Thumbs up (definitely stopping back by when in town).

This is a drive thru/pick up only location, as there are no seats inside or outside. I usually avoid this location due to its size, layout and difficulty to get in and out of, especially on a busy weekend day. However a recent craving for an Iced Shaken Espresso overtook this concern and I popped in. The drive thru line was deep, per usual, but the inside counter was empty. The staff clearly focus on the drive thru traffic, which is understandable, but they could do better at acknowledging folks at the counter. Once I was greeted, I quickly tossed my order in and within a few moments I had my glorious shaken espresso in hand! And I must say, I was impressed! I have had this drink a thousand times over and this location has to be top 5 for me. Only other concern was the cleanliness here, or the lack there of. There was trash scattered around the lobby floors and the counters were riddled with sticky stains and coffee spills from the morning. Overall, not my favorite Starbucks location, but it will certainly do in a pinch.

Here's what we tried: * Crispy Wild Mushrooms: Lightly breaded and served with black garlic aioli. These were nothing like the soggy fried mushrooms you might get at a burger joint. They were meaty yet delicate, with a beautiful crunch! * Raw Oysters: A couple had a little sand, but they tasted fresh and paired so well with the horseradish cocktail sauce. * Charcuterie: We ordered the small board. The berry jam paired SO well with everything, you could tell they put thought into choosing items that complemented each other. * Kids' Grilled Cheese: My 3-year-old ate the entire sandwich! When we got home, he told me it was the best grilled cheese he'd ever had. It also came with some of the best fries we've ever tried--soft inside, crisp outside, and perfectly seasoned with flaky salt. They were even delicious cold! * Spiced Roasted Redfish: Topped with crab meat, flavorful, and served with tender, sweet carrots. By this point, we were slipping into a food coma, so I completely forgot to take a picture! I also stole a bite of my husband's pork chop, and it was juicy as heck. His Brussels sprouts with pecans were delicious, too. And let's talk about the drinks and happy hour! The pricing was such a great deal. I got a whiskey sour and one of the best gimlets I've ever had for $6 each! Roland took wonderful care of us. He took his time making recommendations and even answered my toddler's questions, lol. I truly can't say enough good things about the food and service. The atmosphere was just as lovely: open yet cozy, super clean, and with an outdoor seating area that was perfect for our little one to watch cars go by. They also had someone playing piano! I only caught about a minute, but he sounded wonderful. Next time, I'll have to sit inside so I can enjoy more of it. Casper's reminded me of some of the trendy Nashville spots, but with larger portions and lower prices. This is officially my "must-try" recommendation for locals. What a gem! PS: They even use nice ice for their sodas. Like large cubes so it doesn't water down the drink. They have so many thoughtful little things going on- love this place! PPS: I think a lot of their stuff is house made... Like the cocktail sauce and maybe that jam?

This is a Scratch Kitchen serving Small Plates, Salads, Sandwiches, Entrees and Desserts. They have a full bar serving Cocktails, Wine, Beer and a few Mocktails. They also have cafe drinks like Cappuccino, Latte, Mocha and Hot Tea. I recommend stopping in if you're in the area or if your coming in from Nashville. Its about a 15 to 20 minute drive from Downtown Nashville, depending on traffic.
