    Quiche
    Ashley M.

    I don't know what they put in their coffee but it is SO strong! Be cautious if you're sensitive to caffeine. They always have really fun and yummy rotating drinks on their specials board too. Have gotten their quiche a few times, however, if you want to get it heated just know you'll be waiting a while! Lots of seating if you want to study or work for a while here.

    Headed south through Nashville on my way home from Louisville last weekend, this place was the perfect stop for a quick pick-me-up for the last leg of the drive. I was pleased to find them open fairly late in the afternoon and on a Sunday no less. Even better was the mostly-maneuverable nearby free parking lot! Not a ton of space, but a spot for me - hurray! :) After a short walk over, I found the inside of the shop to be bright, slightly industrial, airy, and comfortable, with several people clearly hanging out, working on laptops, or just catching up. Seems like a good place for all of those needs! On the quieter side than some community coffee shops the day I visited, so perhaps extra good for getting work done. One drawback was I looked for a restroom and didn't find one easily. There might be one available to the public but I wasn't quite desperate enough to ask. I knew pretty quickly I wanted one of their seasonal specialities. I asked the barista taking my order which of a couple yummy-sounding drinks was the sweetest as I like my lattes on the dessert side. He said he hadn't tried any of them! I thought that was pretty funny. No big deal. I wound up choosing an iced "We Were in Paris," which had hazelnut, cinnamon, and brown sugar. It was nicely balanced, pleasantly sweet, with lots of cinnamon flavor. I enjoyed it. Pictures showed yummy looking pastries, but they were understandably somewhat picked over by late afternoon. I wound up with a chocolate chip muffin for a snack. It was decent but a little dry. I would've liked it if someone had offered to heat it up for me but there were folks waiting behind me and I didn't want to be an inconvenience so I just took it as it was. The crumble and drizzle of glaze on top was nice. All in all, could definitely see a return stop in the future. Enjoyed my brief time here and certainly enjoyed my drink!

    I've come to increasingly love and appreciate 8th and Roast after visiting more often at the Nashville airport and more recently their 8th Ave cafe. The interior is big and open with a good amount of community and bar seating at the window. They are fast, efficient, and serve one of my favorite lattes in the city. They also offer bakery items, some breakfast, and seasonal offerings. I highly recommend 8th and Roast for your morning needs!

    8th & Roast is very close to my office, but I only go when I have time to kill & money to spend. Parking is a challenge as it's very limited, I somehow usually get lucky with their little lot or off 8th. Finding parking and getting your order may take time if it's busy. Their espresso is some of the best in Nashville - it really packs a punch being incredibly strong and bold yet balanced and smooth. They always feature fun, creative flavors and have a great energy in the shop. You will pay for the quality, today I paid $9.05 for a 16oz iced latte (oat milk) it is definitely steep (even compared to prices I've seen in LA or NYC), but honestly, the strength and flavor make it worth the splurge (usually seasonally) for me. Today, I ordered from their summer 2025 menu and am loving it as I type - a "Brown. Butter. Scotch." and it is everything you'd want from those words - HIGHLY recommend. There is a lot of table space to spread out and work or meet up with friends!

    I been back to this location since my original review, and I'm updating it to 5 stars. The coffee is consistent every single time I go. I got a vanilla latte today, and it was quite literally amazing. The employees are always nice, and the inside has plenty of seating. #1 best coffee spots in Nashville.

    Pretty good coffee in a quieter part of town. Definitely has a more cozy, industrial vibe. A good amount of indoor seating which is nice. We got a drip coffee of their light roast and a cold brew. Both had a slightly more acidic taste, not in a bad way, and drank very smooth. Didn't need to add cream or sugar. Fair prices as well. They sell pastries that looked yummy but I didn't try any. They also sell bags of their beans and some coffee accessories (chemex, filters, etc.)

    Latte

    Grabbed a latte as we began our morning and long drive back home. I ordered dulce de leche latte and me wife ordered the lavender haze latte, we thoroughly enjoyed our drinks. My drink had good flavor without being thoroughly sweet.

    Very comfy ambiance with a good variety on the menu. The seats are not ideal for studying for long periods of time, but it's a great place nevertheless. I would have enjoyed more variety of seating and tables. The coffee was also not my favorite, but the ambiance easily made up for it. I would come back and try their food! (Would give a 3.5 but that's not possible)

    Great matcha and coffee. One star reduction because of their pet policy. Otherwise no complaints.

Located in the Gulch, it was just a short Uber ride from our downtown area hotel. Before we were even seated we were already enchanted with the adorable 'cow bee' t-shirt. Get it? Milk and honey? Cute huh? Our table of 7 women ordered a variety of brunch sandwiches and biscuits. While everyone enjoyed their meals, I can only give specifics on what I ordered. I had the Mr. Croissant with home fries, and because I wanted to try the biscuits, I also added a biscuit with honey and butter to my order. The croissant and biscuit were great. Next time, I'd give a miss to the included home fries and opt for the fruit instead. My vanilla bean latte was very good and my friend loved her mocha. To celebrate the Birthday Girl, we ordered two bottles of champagne and two flights of juices to make mimosas. We all took homemade strawberry pop tarts to go. We loved the vibe, service, and food and will happily return the next time we are in Nashville!

    I co-work a lot, so there are two main things I look for:…read more Outlets Parking This place is great at 1/2 of these things. Parking is perfect. Plenty of room to park. They have started doing a little better about having outlet options, but mainly at those tall, long skinny tables. The ones that aren't necessarily great for working because they're so high up and can make your legs feel weird after awhile. Haha. The other semi complaint I have is that they close early. 3 pm is early when you want to try and work. Drinks are good. I don't drink a ton of coffee these days, but what I've had there was good. I get either their chai or matcha. Both of those I enjoy! I had a sandwich there recently. I wanted to roll my eyes at the price truthfully. However, when it came.. WOAH. It was GIANT. I was thoroughly impressed. It was really really good. I had to take half of it home and put it in the fridge. When I came back home hours later... it was STILL GOOD. The bread was not soggy either! That's HUGE! Ok so overall, I highly recommend this place and it's one of my go to spots.
