A nice little place to grab a drink! Was walking by and anted some tea on a cold day. Server was helpful in finding a nice decaf tea and recommended some coffee beans for my wife. Small store, but nicely decorated and a relaxed space. There were a couple of people having a meeting, some students studying and they all seemed comfortable. Good selection of drinks and seemed to be flexible with options! Would enjoy again! read more

After recently taking a Coffee 101 class with 8th & Roast, I was on the hunt for a bag of their cold brew beans and happened to be in the area this past week, so decided to stop in. Sadly, this location did not have the cold brew beans, but I scooped up a bag of their Sweet Brazil beans...and I am not mad at it! This 8th & Roast is located in Midtown, at the base of the Broadview apartment building on 20th. The space is small, but functional. They have a small outdoor courtyard with a few tables, then inside have seating at the windows and a high-top counter. Cozy and purposeful. While I was after beans, I couldn't stop by and not grab a cold brew. So, I did just that. Coffee was tasty and as expected. Service was friendly and quick. Welcomed upon entry, chatted up while ordering and wished a good day. Parking can be a bit tricky, but there is a lot across the way that allows for easy in and out. Overall, solid 8th & Roast location! read more

Everyone here is so nice and friendly. Tried their veggie egg sandwich, really liked the pesto sauce it came with, but nothing super special about the sandwich itself. I really enjoyed their premade chia pudding. The chocolate one has lots of chocolate chunks and good quality peanut butter. Their chai was only ok, didn't taste freshly brewed and more syrupy, and in hindsight would have picked a coffee drink instead. There is not much parking near the midtown location since it is connected to an apartment complex (The Broadview). There is some street parking on Music Row, and you would have to walk a little bit. Both outdoor and indoor seating. read more

Eighth & Roast is connected to my daughter's apartment complex (Broadview). Before an early morning meeting, I used the access door conveniently located inside The Collaborative to pick up coffee and a pastry. The staff was friendly and helpful. I ordered a large drip coffee and warmed cinnamon roll. Another reviewer mentioned the fruity notes in the coffee which I'm not sure I liked, but it wasn't overwhelming. It was all fresh and comforting, nonetheless. read more

Five stars for a cute coffee shop that has a collage of employee pets on the window. I'm always here for pet photos. My coworker and I were staying at the Loews nearby so we walked over for breakfast. I opted for a hand poured coffee which was great with some fruity notes as well as a sausage egg and cheese biscuit. That biscuit was so buttery and delish, made for a perfect breakfast. The staff was super friendly, and I liked the vibes of the coffee shop. I would definitely post up here to work a bit if I lived in the area. read more

Eighth & Roast always delivers - I loved the seasonal sweet potato pie latte! 10/10. This new location is a cute spot to pop into, plenty of natural lighting. Only caveat: parking can be a challenge. I found the easiest solution was to find a paid spot by Torchy's Tacos for like $1.75/hour. The baristas were kind and helpful. read more

Cinnamon rolls were trash. Literally hard to dig into with my fork, and after one bite, we threw them in the trash. Service was fine. Chai latte, drinkable, but if I hadn't just spent $25 on stuff I threw away, I'd throw it away also. Tasted like syrup. read more

We were in town for a football game. Our hotel had a good breakfast but the coffee was not up to my standards. Luckily this place was a short walk around the corner. It's a quaint little shop in Midtown Nashville. It was perfect for the situation! I got a simple caramel latte and a breakfast sandwich! There were several options from which to choose! The young ladies behind the counter where also pleasant and courteous. I'd definitely visit again the next time I'm in the area! read more

Cute little coffee shop just outside the west side of Vanderbilt University. Espresso drinks were excellent, but it's a shame the cappuccino only came in one size. We arrived around 2:30pm on a Thursday and they were sold out of biscuits, one of the main reasons for stopping in. Service was friendly. The cafe is small, so if busy, might be hard to find a seat inside. read more

Overflowing trash cans outside the front door should have been a red flag, but it was close to my hotel. I should have gone the extra distance for a better cup of coffee. The Americano was weak and watery and, just brewed, was only warm. The person at the register, far from actually engaging, just did the minimum to get the order without making any kind of effort or even looking you in the face. It wasn't busy, and that's understandable. read more

My dad loves grouper and when I saw fried grouper on the menu I knew he had to try it. Only problem was they served it on Tuesday and he wouldn't get in until Thursday. Cut to my insane ass showing up and asking them if they could please serve it on that specific Thursday because my dad wanted to try it but he wouldn't get in on time and I wanted to make his trip special because I am truly a daddy's girl and he's my fav bestie right now. Yes I rambled all of that at them in one breath, I am a a talkative lil broad. They not only made my crazy special day fried grouper happen, but made a special point of dropping by the table to welcome my family to Nashville and extend well wishes on us. Okay so now that I've established that the Arnold's are such warm and loving people I can talk about the food. Oh my god the food. I got the roast beef, which is basically prime rib and can be drowned in au jus that I would drink straight from a cup, it's a divine nectar of the gods. We got almost every single side and loved every single side. I'm obsessed with fried green tomatoes so those were my star side, but my mother loved the greens and my dad loved the corn. Do not miss the bread pudding it is like a hug from your tastebuds to your brain. If you're like oh I don't like bread pudding I don't care shut up and order it it's that good it will convert you. I love you guys. I appreciate y'all so much. I'll see you soon I need more bread pudding. I was trying to be a skinny bitch to bamboozle a man to fall in love with me but unfortunately I'm about to have a bread pudding summer so that will not be happening and I am a okay with that because that bread pudding loves and treats me better more than any man ever could.
