The Coffee Break - Breakfast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Shelbyville, Tennessee

Great little cafe for breakfast or lunch! We seem to keep finding the old parts of town when we are out exploring .... actually totally by accident. They also tend to be some how associated with a town square....anyways, just a side note on where The Coffee Break is located. Counter service where they have menus (food and drink) ... place your order and find a seat. There are about 7 - 8 tables to choose from, not a ton of space, but probably won't have a wait too often. People did come in while we were there to get order to go as well. The crew working were all really friendly and made menu recommendations. I went with the pancake and a side of hash browns "all the way". My wife had the breakfast burrito with grits on the side. We were both really pleased, in fact the pancake was outstanding!! The grits, for my wife, were a little too runny and pretty much passed on eating those. Outside of that the experience was good, prices were reasonable .... we'd recommend if you find yourself in the area. read more

Everyone has that special, traditional hometown breakfast place in mind. The Coffee Break fits that mode and beats it, too. Warm friendly service, a great local feel, and plenty of menu choices. Quiet but not dead, a serene dining experience. Tasty omletttes, several bread choices and good but not ridiculously big portions. We would go back in a heartbeat. read more

My husband and I love this place! They have very friendly staff and fantastic coffee and food. We especially like the BLT, the chicken salad sandwich and their potato salad! I highly recommend checking them out. I always like to get a mocha too! read more

I highly recommend this Coffee place. Their food is phenomenal. I personally love their breakfast quesadillas and white moca coffee. My husband loves their biscuit and gravy. The environment is welcoming and a home like atmosphere. You will be thrilled to go there! read more

This is a very friendly cafe with good food. The only thing I would change is to step up service and seat customers and take their order at the table. The bottleneck created at the counter is awkward and inconvenient. read more

Nice place to relax, enjoy a cup of coffee, a light snack and conversation I will definitely patronize this establishment again.

This is your basic hole-in-the-wall mom and pop place to enjoy fellowship, community and BREAKFAST! Service Superior all 7 days Food Superior all 7 days read more

Love the food here. Unique menu and we were given free pie for dessert. We are new to town, so have checked out most if the little diners. This will be a favorite. Good job! read more

Love the owner and the workers. Such a good place to go and just have a cup of coffee and chat.

"Awesome" I just think the place is totally awesome I've been there with my district Adjutant Whom used to be my Commander at the American Legion his name is Tim Estes we had a nice talk there And we could not have picked a better place. Everyone was very professional And totally awesome in my book. That's all I have to say at this point. Thank you respectfully Lee Warren Sr. read more

Charming coffee shop with outdoor seating and a great view of Rock Creek. They have a drive through option but no indoor seating. Great location for hanging with friends! read more

Great cafe had a really good time food is fresh and delicious.workers are very friendly.

All the times we've dined here, the Food was Amazing, the environment Lovely and the Service was Great!

Tucked away in the middle of Shelbyville Public Square's southern block is a cozy home of coffee and pastry: The Coffee Break On The Square. Open for breakfast and lunch service, you'll find a small town kitchen whose pastries will rival those you'll find at world-class urban eateries. Yep, they're baked onsite. And they cater (so you might enjoy goodies after the shop closes!) I'd been there some years past as a new state resident and tourist-at-large. A recent nighttime event with friends and the owners found me thankful for freshly made apple dumplings and coffee between thunderstorms. It kept me awake for the drive home. Another trip back during business hours is now a necessity. Your mileage may vary depending upon how you process caffeine and sweet comfort food. Had the cafe existed generations ago, one might even wonder whether it's impact could have led to development of a Tennessee Jitter Horse. Strolling Jim may have never strolled out and Midnight Sun may not have slept at all. Then again...the food is good enough that folk just might be found taking a running walk around the square on occasion! read more

If every county seat had A Coffee Break shop, the world would be a little better place. When I came into town, I had 15 minutes and a strong need for caffeine. I found Coffee Break in downtown Shelbyville on the south side of the town square, and found friendly faces ready to serve. I asked for a favor, and they readily helped me out. Their Peppermint Patty coffee drink was great. Peppermint just suits coffee well, in my mind. The price was good. The store itself is clearly what used to be an alley that was closed up with a front and back, and the brick walls on either side, gave it a rustic charm. I wish this place was in Nashville: it's that good. read more

My favorite place to eat breakfast in Bedford County, nice folks, great service and love their coffee.

I love this place! The best coffee in town! Be sure to leave with a full stomach and a bag of beans to make your own at home!

Food is great, and the coffee is always flowing. The owner and ladies working here are absolutely great. Truly love coming here and I do quite often. read more

Outstanding food, service, and atmosphere! I ordered the hungry farmer and a cinnamon roll. Plenty of food and both were delicious.

This is a great coffee shop with delicious breakfast and lunch choices! The service is friendly and the ambiance is perfect. I'd drive out of my way to stop there again. read more

This is my usual morning stop for a latte and side of bacon. The staff knows my order before I even place it. Everyone is courteous and they really make my children feel special. Brandy is an amazing cook as is Edwin. They are decently priced and the best breakfast place around. The chicken salad is one of my lunch time favorites. I highly recommend this great establishment! read more

This place is the absolute best. I've been there multiple times for lunch and their salads are amazing. I went for breakfast today and it was also extremely good. The staff has always been incredibly friendly even during these COVID times. I'd highly recommend this coffee shop! read more

Okay, but not the greatest coffee shop I've ever been to. The Coffee Break seems more geared towards a breakfast/lunch spot that also serves coffee, as opposed to a coffee place that serves food. They do have some outside seating on the sidewalk, but when I visited you'd have to approach the doorway from up wind because the smokers sitting out there made getting in an unpleasant experience. I will say the Sumatran coffee I had was excellent and inside seating was comfortable and quiet. read more

I was looking for a wonderful coffee with sugar free syrup in it. They recommended SF Raspberry and SF Chocolate. It was delicious, excellent coffee. Very nice atmosphere lots of yummy looking desserts. Very friendly staff. I'll definitely be back! Thank you! read more

Love this place. Probably the best peanut butter pie I have ever had. The food is great too. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend. read more

The food and specialty coffee drinks are pretty great! However I do feel like they're a bit pricy for what you get. A chicken wrap (chicken, cheese, sauce in a tortilla - no veggies, didn't come with?), a drink and a small scoop of potato salad was $10, more with tip. It was tasty but not really something you'd expect to pay that much for. I came back on another occasion to try their specialty coffee drinks and the Iced Java Chip drink I had was good, very sweet and thick, but again the $7 price tag for what would have been a tall at Starbucks seemed a bit much. The atmosphere was nice and everything was clean and cozy - definitely worth checking out but too pricy to make it a regular stop. There is a PokeStop in range of their dining room, though! And tons in the area! read more

The best omelet, scrambled eggs and sausage we have ever had. It was well seasoned, which is usually an issue for me. We recommend the Extreme Omelet with all meats and all toppings. Such a cute place with the best service and food. read more

Great place for lunch. Salads are fresh, great choice of dressings, my wife loves the quiche and the sandwiches are always good!!! Desserts....... Amazing!!!! read more

What a neat place! The owner and staff are super friendly and the coconut cream pie is to die for!! The pie topped off a latte and ham n cheese quiche. Both were excellent. I'll be back for more. Put it on your list to check out. read more
