The Pink Hermit - Nashville, TN If you're someone that prefers to enjoy the simpler things life offers, perhaps, allow me to recommend "The Pink Hermit." It's part of the "The Hermitage Hotel," near the entrance, offering indoor and outdoor seating. "The Pink Hermit" offers great selection of hot teas, coffees, fresh baked goods and pastries. And of course, their cups and plates are pink. Hehe. It was raining outside in mid-afternoon, I came inside for few hours to admire their hotel lobby. While waiting out the rain, I spent an hour, sitting in the hotel lobby, drinking hot tea with my two delicious pastries from "The Pink Hermit." At one point I stepped away from my sitting area to go admire more of the lobby history and when I returned, one of my untouched pastry and half drunken, pink cup, hot tea was gone. When guests services came back and asked, "Would you like anything else we can assist with?" I replied politely, "Yes please. I had hot tea and unfinished pastry that I stepped away from to admire your historical lobby." He apologized, "I'm so sorry, I cleared that because I thought you were done." "It's alright, it's no big deal," I replied. "What was it that you ordered, let me get that for you?" I was reluctant but he politely insisted. I replied with a smile, "If you want to, you can bring me my order, but I promise I'm not needing it." Few minutes later, he brings me a tray with freshly steeped hot tea, and not one, but two fresh pastries, "Please enjoy on the house." Later, we continued our conversation for about ten minutes. This type of old-fashioned, customer service I crave because it's like a hidden gem . For this reason I highly recommend, "The Pink Hermit," located in downtown Nashville. Overall, I'm looking forward to returning here and enjoying great comfortable ambience. For more great content visit YouTube.com/@AbroadTravel

Ambiance is perfect for a summer day or evening! Food was scrumptious and service was delightful.

Such a cute space! I love the decor and the aesthetics inside. I ordered a caramel latte while I was here and it was delicious. I haven't had a chance to try their food so I took a star off for not being able to experience it yet but the coffee was good and the space was clean and tidy. The hotel it's attached to is so very pretty and I love the vibe.

Checked out their patio during pizza week and had the avocado pizza and basil cheese pizza with an espresso martini and a grapefruit spritz. The waiter didn't bring up the happy hour specials until I had asked about it so it felt like it wasn't something they advertise. the overall cost was around $70 so still pricey for a happy hour but overall a nice patio and experience!

We stopped here for a drink and quick snack before our play at TPAC across the street. This is a trendy little cafe in the lobby of the hotel that also serves alcohol and has a food menu with limited offerings. The service was pretty good. For just ordering a single pasta dish, it took a little longer than expected. The pesto brussel sprout pasta was tasty and the old fashioned was solid. I would return to try the other menu offerings if I were in the area.

Espresso martini

Best espresso martini I've ever had. Thank god for coffee shop- bar hybrids where you can get one that doesn't taste like watery coffee and vodka. I'm not picky but it's been a long time since I've enjoyed one for sure. Long time Chicago resident who's a Nashville native who hasn't had a proper one in almost a year for context. This cafe has excellent food and better history. Check them out and tip your server. Try anything - great quality. Great and gracious service.

S'mores Brownie

The Pink Hermit is an elegant cafe in the corner of the Hermitage Hotel. More a breakfast cafe but they also recently opened for dinner as well. We stopped in for coffee and a dessert for a midday snack. The S'mores brownie was delicious. The brownie itself was actually flipped upside down and frosted on the bottom creating a crust like taste on the bottom. The coffee was great. I just did the fresh brewed coffee black. Mostly pink decor. Very aesthetically pleasing and well designed. Also love the logo!

Inside the hermitage hotel is a lovely secret shell, the pink hermit cafe. Boujee cocktails, a lovely tapa menu, brunch delights and of course, coffee. I say boujee because the prices match as much as the pink decor does. Treat yourself though, you are worthy baby.

For breakfast, the coffee and muffins were delicious! I had the blueberry matcha, but they change seasonally, and I don't think you can really go wrong here. Lunch was tasty too, but really, the chefs don't miss at this place. Enjoy.

I'm drawn to anything pink and this place was no exception. It was empty and very clean when I walked in with fun foreign music playing. I was promptly greeted by a friendly barista who informed me they have a little paper menu but at this time they were just serving coffee and what was in the displays. I had a tasty iced salted caramel coffee and a delicious caramel brownie which were the perfect treat on a hot Nashville day. This place has an excellent vibe, definitely somewhere you could take a friend to chat or even get some work done!

Cappuccino and green matcha vegan blueberry muffin! All surrounded by beautiful hints of pink.

Good pastries and decent coffee. A little on the pricey side. A small bottled water was over $5 for example

We loved our breakfast at Milk and Honey!…read more I've read this place can get very busy and have lengthy waits! Thankfully when we stopped in on a recent weekday morning there was no wait and we were seated in the most perfect spot right away! We chose an outdoor table! The outdoor patio is so nice, even in the Nashville summer heat!! We got there before it was super hot out and the patio kept us super comfortable the whole time!! :) We had a really great waitress who was very knowledgeable about the menu and was able to help us make the best decisions for what we were craving!! We started with a couple of drip coffees that came out in adorable cups, on saucers, with spoons, very lovely appearance! Quite delicious! We ordered a fried chicken biscuit sandwich that was served with their home fries and a side of country gravy. This was delicious! I HIGHLY recommend trying their table hot sauce! We loved it so much we bought a bottle to take home!! :) We also ordered the Chicken and waffles. This dish is also served with home fries and a then a side of syrup. This meal was also fantastic!! We had a really great experience at Milk and Honey and would highly recommend for someone looking for not just a good meal, but an entire lovely breakfast experience! :) Don't forget to check out their gift shop and bakery treats to go, on your way out!!

It was busy when we got here on a Sunday but it went pretty fast. We were asked about apps and…read moresettled on just getting that. (We had other dinner plans in a few hrs) we got the ricotta/honey bread, the honey butter biscuits and a Bloody Mary. Ricotta/honey: everyone raves about this but we thought it was boring. Ricotta was cold but the bread was warm. No flavor. Added salt and pepper just for something. It gives me ideas of something better to make some day do for that I'm Grateful. Biscuits: husband and friends loved them!! Could have used more butter but still good. Bloody Mary- YEEEESSS!! It was perfect. Our friend got the hot chicken and he loved it. I had 1 bite and it was definitely hot!! And yes- very good. All in all, a good different brunch place for an out of towner. Nothing amazing that I will come back for. Great customer service!

We had the BEST experience at Biscuit Love!!! A new favorite for sure!!…read more Biscuit Love turned us on to the chicken/biscuit breakfast!! We live in Michigan so this southern fare was SUCH a welcomed change!! We walked in to this spot and were immediately struck by how cute it is! I would recommend checking out the menu before you go because once you enter you are immediately in the line to place your order at the counter! There isn't a lot of room in this area so standing there trying to read the menu for an extended time is difficult! I love to read the entire menu before deciding so for me, I need the extra time! ;) We placed our order and then they seated us at one of their tables with a number. The kitchen brings out the order to your table when it's ready. Everything on the menu sounded so very good, it was hard to choose! Because I was using yelp to see what the menu items looked like I was able to spot a "secret menu item" as the staff member explained. I ended up order the "Nasty Princess". The princess sandwich, which is the Nashville hot chicken version, but add gravy and and egg! AMAZING! This was so, so good! I highly recommend! I also ordered a side of the fried potatoes, which were also very good but ended up being way too much food!! The biscuit sandwich was very large and incredibly filling!! :) We also ordered an egg plate with an upgrade to the chronic bacon - HIGHLY recommend the chronic bacon!! This was super delicious and very unique!! We LOVED the cheese grits on this plate as well as the biscuit with jam!! This is a good choice if you like a platter of different, separated items! For drinks we tried an Iced Sunshine latte, which was very tasty, but very sweet and over the top for our preferences while eating a meal. The drip coffee was wonderful! A perfect compliment to any dish!! :) Biscuit Love is the perfect southern charm spot for a WONDERFUL breakfast experience! Super kind staff, super delicious food, super cute atmosphere... you can even purchase a mug or piece of cute merch to take home to remember your fun time!! We will for sure be back!

Easily one of my favorite brunch spots in Nashville. The biscuits are top tier, you can't go wrong with the hash brown casserole, and the country fried steak is some of the best you'll ever eat. Love this place!

As first-time visitors to Loveless Cafe, we weren't sure what to expect, but it absolutely lived up…read moreto its reputation. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by one of the sweetest hosts, who made us feel genuinely welcome. We had made a reservation, and our table was ready immediately, making for a smooth and stress-free start to our meal. I would highly recommend making a reservation at least a day in advance--two days if you're visiting on a weekend or during peak travel times. It was clear this place is popular, and for good reason. Our server, Cody, truly made the experience unforgettable. Hands down, he is the best server I've ever had anywhere. He took the time to thoroughly walk us through the menu, explain the daily specials, answer all of our questions, and offer recommendations based on what we were looking for. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine hospitality elevated our entire dining experience. We ordered the pancakes, omelets, and of course, the famous biscuits. The biscuits absolutely deserve the hype! They were warm, buttery, fluffy, and practically melted in your mouth. The pancakes were light, fluffy, and delicious, and the omelets were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. One thing I really appreciated is that while Loveless Cafe offers a supper menu in the evenings, breakfast is served all day. That's perfect for anyone like me who believes breakfast tastes good no matter what time it is! It's easy to see why Loveless Cafe has become such a Nashville staple. Between the warm Southern hospitality, outstanding service, and incredible food, this was an experience we'll be talking about long after breakfast. If you're visiting Nashville, or even if you're a local who hasn't been yet, put Loveless Cafe at the top of your list. And if you're lucky enough to have Cody as your server, you're in for an exceptional experience!

The wait was worth the while... about 30~ mins or so. They have their system down, they're pretty…read morefast and efficient with their check in and check out process. 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!

There were only three other customers. I got the eggs, pancakes, and biscuits and gravy with coffee. Coffee was good. The rest of the meal, eh. It was ok. Bland. Disappointing for Southern fare. Look at my picture. The pancakes are small, they don't even fill the plate. It's not worth going out of your way to eat here. It's definitely not worth the hype or a long wait. The breakfast at Cracker Barrel is better and you get more for you money. If you're ever in Kansas City stop in at the Big Biscuit. That's how breakfast is supposed to be.

They have a great menu, but they also come up with a very interesting seasonal menu, and I make it a point to try all of it. The service never disappoint the team is always cheerful and welcoming. The café is usually busy, although I've never made a reservation. They have plenty of seating, as well as barstools at the bar. On my recent visit, I ordered their eggs with crawfish and shrimp, while my wife got the huevos rancheros. The seafood eggs were amazing slightly fishy, packed with protein, and definitely loaded with calories. The sides were great, too. My wife enjoyed her order as well; everything was packed with flavor. We also had the beignets, and they were hands down the best I've had in a while. They were crispy on the outside, soft and dense on the inside, and came with a side of orange zest sauce. The sauce was so refreshing, with a perfect balance of tangy and sweet.

Once inside the staff was so kind and helpful. Our waitress was the best! They did have Gluten Free options which was very nice and they were good. I ordered the Cold Brew and it was gross. On a scale of 1 - 10 I would give it a 5 on cleanliness. I guess they allow pets so we listened to this dog bark as the owner threw waffles on the floor for him to eat. I happened to not be a pet person so this was a struggle for me + I felt bad for the dog. All those dirty feet walking on that floor and that dog was eating off of it. Didn't feel right. They did mess up our bill and we ended up realizing after that we over paid. Overall I do not recommend and wouldn't go back. If our waitress wouldn't have been amazing this would have been a 1 star review.
