    Bison mocha
    Pree C.

    Tasty coffee here. Some in our group thought the coffees were too sweet, but it was still good. Very nice layout and good seating options. There's also heaters out front that were nice for a cold rainy day.

    This place was interesting. Coffee slash mini mart. Lived there coffee part but could have done w/o the grocery part. I did buy a t shirt. Like the merch. Went with the white bison mocha. I would say it was tasty for a chilly night.

    I've never seen a coffee shop this amazing! This coffee shop is not just super pretty on the outside but also on the inside as well. Besides the actual elegance of the building the staff is also friendly and attentive which is always a bonus. No matter where I go I always get the Carmel frap and at this location is was super delicious!

    First time stopping by! I came here because my go-to on 12th South was closed for the holiday. I grabbed a White Bison Mocha that was great, made with expresso, and fairly priced. The employees were really nice, and there is also a convenience store inside. Apart from coffee, they also serve different types of sandwiches. The second floor is beautiful and perfect for studying. Definitely recommend if in the area!

    Great experience. Ordered a hot latte and a cold one. Quick service and friendly. Nice place to sit upstairs and watch 12 South. Give it a try- lot quicker to get in and out of the Funky Monkey.

    It was a cold day and the warmth of the place was so welcoming. Have been here twice and love their coffee. Bought 2 bags to keep and one to share. Will be back whenever we are in TN.

    White Bison is my absolute favorite place to grab a cup of coffee and study/whatever I need to get done for the day. There are seats downstairs as well as an upstairs where there are couches as well as an outdoor area with couches and a fireplace. All the employees are always super friendly and personable! Brady is always super friendly and asks how we've been doing. I definitely recommend trying White Bison out next time you need your daily caffeine intake :)

    White Bison Coffee is a local TN coffee chain that is currently booming all across middle Tennessee. They currently have 14 total location, 13 of which are in TN and 1 is in AL. This particular White Bison sits in the heart of 12 South and shares its location with a Twice Daily (Convenience store). Both opened in 2018 and for the most part, the building, both inside and out, are still in great shape. Additionally, it was clean, well laid out and organized. The building split in two with White Bison occupying the left side and the convenience store shelves and coolers occupying the right. The store itself is two levels with the second floor being dedicated to seating There is a small window counter downstairs for seating and if the weather is good you can grab one of the lounge seats or tables on the covered front patio. Seating isn't super plentiful, but appears to be enough for the business they do. Service - Absolutely abysmal and truthfully the reason this place did not score higher. When we walked in there were three Associates behind the counter, all on their phones and propped up sitting on the counters. I walked up to the counter and began looking at the menu. This was my first visit to a White Bison, so I had a question if they had a particular drink that I did not see on the menu boards, but saw online. The young lady who came to the register answered my question with "mhmm mmm" and then stood there. I told her I would take one of those and then she rang it up and continued to stand there. She didn't tell me a total or anything, legit just stood there until I paid. Once I paid she took a step back and went back to her phone. At this time another Associate, a young gentleman began making my drink. Once he finished he simply sat it up on the counter and went back to his phone, again saying nothing at all. The third Associate kept her position sitting on the counter during my whole visit. Normally I am really understanding with service given the current state of things, but here the issue isn't staffing, it is the staff themselves. It was a massive turn-off for a new White Bison customer. While the service was terrible, the Iced White Mocha that I got was very well made and super tasty! I can't take that away from them! Overall, I was impressed with the drink, but not the service and vibe that these folks put off. I honestly think the service outweighs the product in this case and given that, I am not going to be apt to return to White Bison, at least this location.

    I didn't expect much from a place that has twice daily next to me, and I was surprised because white bison coffee makes decent coffee. I enjoyed the store because it's a convenient place to grab a coffee and any other quick snacks. The area was very clean for a small in and out store. I recommend if you're looking for a good coffee spot. The staff was friendly fast and helped with any questions.

    Great environment, not so great coffee. I really enjoyed the upstairs seating, especially the enclosed porch with the fire place, it's a really nice environment to just chill or study. The actual cafe part of White Bison included a convenient store area with a bunch of snacks and soda machines and donuts, it was definitely interesting and I hadn't expected it. Overall the vibe of the place was nice and everything was clean. But, the reason I'm giving this place 2 stars is because the coffee itself was not great. I got a mocha and it tasted more like a bitter hot chocolate that comes from a packet. Mochas usually come with some nice milk foam on top of the espresso and chocolate mixture, mine did not and the whole drink was kind of watery. My sister who I went with got a vanilla latte which was not great either it was way too sweet and I couldn't taste the coffee at all.

The customer service is top notch. Be prepared for a line, it is VERY busy but I promise it is worth the wait.

Highly recommend checking them out.

    I've heard good things about this place online so when we had the chance, we came here for brunch…read more We ended up parking in a nearby garage that was easy to get to. There was a line when we arrived, but it wasn't so bad. It moved by pretty quickly. While in line, you bypass all the pastries displayed behind the glass and they looked beautiful! Everything looked amazing. I ended up ordering the Twice Baked Croissant and the Fried Chicken Breakfast Sandwich. The Twice Baked Croissant was just incredible. It had pistachios on top, a pistachio cream inside, and also a cherry or raspberry jam inside too. I love pistachios, and the pistachio cream inside was so light, creamy, delicate, but flavorful. I absolutely loved all the different textures. The croissant was airy and fluffy inside, and the outside had a nice flaky exterior. And the fruit jam inside complemented the pistachio cream very well, it added a nice sweetness that blended well with the cream. For me, it tied the whole thing together. I will definitely be thinking of this pastry when I think of pistachio croissants. And for the Fried Chicken Breakfast Sandwich? Wow. I didn't know what to expect, but it was much larger than I anticipated. It was tall, like when I was bringing it to the table the top part of the bun almost fell off my plate because it had height. The fried chicken piece was great: juicy and had a nice golden color. It was crispy and also quite large for a chicken piece.. All the components about it were executed well: the fried chicken, the coleslaw! (i'm a coleslaw fanatic), and the sauce inside the sandwich was wonderful. Also last but not least, the fried egg too? Wow. I love a good runny egg. I'm not exaggerating, I was drenching the pieces of my sandwich in the sauce on my plate. It was just that good. Genuinely, I couldn't believe I finished that sandwich because it was very filling and that fried chicken piece was huge! Service was fast and friendly, I liked interacting with them. It is pretty small inside and we came on a weekend so it was busy and packed. We were lucky to snag a small table but it was difficult to find seating when we got our food. All in all, I'm so happy we came here. Yes it is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. The quality is clearly there and showed up through everything we got. I had such a memorable time, thank you for taking care of us!

They don't have the flake of a croissant or the light airy vibe of a yeast donut. I also tried the Strawberry Fields, Milk Chocolate, Blueberry Lemon and the Chocolate Sea Salt. The Blueberry Lemon was good the first day, but it seemed that the donuts don't hold up beyond fresh. I feel that may have changed my opinion on some of the other flavors. However, the vanilla crème was good the next day. I conclude they are not my favorite and I would probably stop in for something special to get the Purist or the Vanilla Crème. It was definitely an experience. I'm glad I tried them. However, I think I'm super spoiled by my pastry shoppes in the city and my favorite Amish bakers on the Shore. The shoppe was cute and the service was fine. No complaints. It's nice to know they have an ingredient list to check, I appreciated that. I'd say give them a try because I definitely think it's a preference because the locals raved.

    Extremely disappointing presentation.

The fondant version is what we got complete with mis-spelling and child like painted on details. After notifying Kelly that we were not happy with the presentation she proceeded to text a bunch of photos of cakes she's done that turned out great, incessantly defending her sub-par work. She blamed the extreme heat for inability to complete as ordered, they tried putting it in the freezer to keep it cold but just too hot out. She said she would have directed us differently as far as type of cake decor if she had known the weather would be so hot- we ordered this cake far in advance and the the heat wave was anticipated days before we arrived. It really just seems like the type of detail we wanted was not something this bakery is capable of doing. We had the cake delivered to the house before we got there which was super convenient. Only got concerned with this after Kelly told us to make sure to lock our doors at night since we were in a "bad" neighborhood. Since the bakery had the code to our doors and she was texting this late at night, this comment was received as threatening and we became concerned for our safety. The customer service and service recovery is something this bakery really needs to work on, we will NEVER be working with them again. Only positives... She did acknowledge that the order looked very rushed and gave us 10% refund. The cake tasted great, but just not worth the money in my opinion.
