With fall swiftly descending upon us faster than you can say “Pumpkin Spice Latte,” I am really looking forward to consuming warm, festive, seasonal beverages again. My Instagram is sure to be rife with cute latte art pictures and scenes from inside local Nashville cafés.
I love coffee and all of its subsidiaries, but I am not an avid coffee drinker. I do not need to drink coffee every morning to wake up at work, which makes me appreciate the times I do get to have it even more. I also love the ritual of having coffee. It’s something to savor, something to meet over, something to celebrate. It’s both calming and exciting simultaneously. The idea of a cup of coffee reminds me of a languid, perhaps gloomy Saturday morning reading the newspaper and with nowhere to be.
For all of my Nashville friends, I am rounding up all of the best & my favorite places in town to get a great specialty coffee or standard pour over. I’ve broken the list down by neighborhood, because I can’t be asked to list these in order of liking.
Germantown
- Steadfast Coffee
- Red Bicycle Coffee & Crepes
- Barista Parlor x Germantown
East Nashville
- Café Roze (try the black sesame seed latte)
- The Post East
- dose.
- Barista Parlor (featured in the photos above)
- The Sweet Bean
Downtown & The Gulch
- CREMA (they have a standalone store and a bar in Pinewood Social)
- Frothy Monkey (perhaps the most popular on this list since Taylor Swift was seen at the 12 South location)
- Bongo Java
- Barista Parlor Golden Sound
West End/Hillsboro
- Three Brothers Coffee (a very Instagrammable spot too!)
- Relevator Coffee Company
- Sump Coffee
- Fido
- dose.
- The Café at Thistle Farms
