Quick and tasty stop for coffee and a breakfast sammie on our way to Radnor Lake on a Saturday…read moremorning! We managed to snag a parking spot on the street right in front of 8th & Roast, which is always a plus! There was no line when we got there - but you can tell that this is a popular spot on any day of the week. My husband and I sampled a few of their seasonal drinks - the Peppermint Bark latte, and the Pistachio latte. All of their food options sounded good (and smelled good) so we also ordered the "Old Fashioned" biscuit sandwich to-go. The coffee was delicious - I feel like there's a noticeable difference in taste from shops that roast their own beans. We also really liked the breakfast sandwich! The biscuit was thick and flaky, and the sausage, egg and cheese was warm and savory. We didn't stay indoors long - but this is absolutely the kind of coffee shop that I could see myself working remotely at for a few hours. This was a great start to the long weekend - we'll absolutely be back!

8th & Roast is one of my personal favorite cafes in the city, especially given that they function…read moreas their own roastery. I really appreciate the extensive range of coffee beans they offer, along with the variety of roasts and the way they source their beans from different suppliers across multiple countries. During my visit, I ordered a cappuccino made with a medium roast, while my husband went with a mocha. My cappuccino featured their Sunrise Espresso Blend, which combines beans from Brazil, Guatemala, and Costa Rica. The resulting flavor profile was wonderfully fruity and a little chocolatey (from the Brazil- Blend), with very low acidity, exactly what I prefer. It delivered the precise caffeine hit I was looking for and felt incredibly refreshing. My husband's mocha, however, was a bit of a letdown. It was overwhelmingly mocha-heavy to the point where there was barely any discernible coffee flavor, so it was not a hit for him. The baristas were polite, though the wait time felt a little longer than expected considering the cafe was not very busy at the time. Beyond that, the vibe inside is very chill, there is plenty of seating, and the free parking availability makes visiting super hassle-free.

I got the iced Americano and added their house made banana cold foam. You can definitely tell it's homemade banana flavor and they even had some small chunks of banana. It was delish! The sweetness of the drink ended up being perfect for me as I don't like when things are too sweet. Prices were reasonable ($5.50 for my drink after $1.5 extra for the foam) and service was friendly. Would recommend.

It's cute inside, with some activity books and lots of merch. There's also room to sit. The coffee itself is good, but it's not a super welcoming environment unfortunately! I'd recommend it for a quick in and out to get a coffee but not as a sit down meeting place.

They have quite a few food options here as well. Their cookies are baked in house, and they are quite good! My favorite part about this coffee shop is the ambience, as they have an outdoor patio area where you can enjoy your drinks. There is also a bar that is open for seating during the daytime, and they have an adorable wall of people's pets! There is a ton of seating here and every time I go, there seem to be a lot of people working on their laptops.

It's just a nice, clean, attractive coffee house with really nice staff and great coffee. The biscuit I had was okay but small, but I came there for coffee. I ordered a pour over of their Worka Sakaro coffee bean, and I saw them brew it in a ceramic Kalita Wave and bring it to the table. I enjoyed it a lot! Just remember that, when you order something made with a specialty bean, it will usually taste different from just regular old coffee, and that's a good thing. Really, it's delicious! The people working there are very nice and very friendly. They do a great job at making people feel welcome. Parking can be tight in that area, but there is a parking lot next to it with validated parking. It's easier to figure out than some places I've been.

The staff are kind, beautiful humans, the coffee is genuinely phenomenal, and the pastries are dangerously good. Clean shop, clean bathrooms (important), immaculate vibes. I do miss the couches they used to have, but I forgive them because, everything else. I love their cause. I love their coffee. I love everything about this place. I will be back again and again. My coffee machine broke, so I started coming here more. Got a new coffee machine. Still coming here regularly. That's how you know it's real.

She is always willing to teach you about her roasting process, and offer suggestions based on your likes and dislikes. I think something that that makes a big impact is that her coffee doesn't upset your stomach after your drink it. That is a huge plus to those of us to have to commute to Nashville in rush hour. Laura is also one of the nicest people I have ever met!
