Great teas and lattes... amazing baked goods and dashi French onion soup for the win. A cute spot inside the Neuhoff development and the sister restaurant of Kisser. Great service and a lovely covered patio if the weather cooperates... Note: kitchen closes by 2:30. read more

Came to this cute little spot for brunch and was so excited to try out their food and pastries. You can dine in or they also have fast casual ordering. We dined in and got the chicken katsu sandwich, beef curry rice, steak and eggs, taro donut, and strawberry matcha. Overall, all of the dishes had great flavor. For the sandwich, the chicken was super crispy and the bread was so airy. Loved the slaw on it too. I liked the beef curry because it wasn't super sweet like other ones I've had. The steak and eggs were okay, nothing special. The steak was undercooked, as we asked for medium rare, which made it a bit tough to eat. The taro donut was the perfect way to end the meal, the filling inside was so yummy. read more

Found Babychan on Yelp and was honestly surprised by the high ratings, so since we were already in the area, we decided to give it a try. Glad we did! We ordered three different matcha drinks: the hojicha matcha latte, hokkaido matcha latte, and okinawan matcha latte. The hojicha matcha latte was my favorite -- it had a really nice roasted flavor that almost tasted chocolatey. The hokkaido matcha latte had a stronger green matcha taste, but I personally wished it had a little more sweetness. The okinawan matcha latte was just okay for me, also not very sweet. The Japanese cheesecake was definitely the standout. Super soft, fluffy, and delicious -- highly recommend ordering it. The cafe itself has plenty of space, including outdoor seating areas with lots of tables, which made it a nice place to relax and hang out. There's paid parking nearby, so keep that in mind if you're driving. Overall, a cute spot for matcha lovers and worth trying if you're in the area! read more

First time here and the food and drinks were good, the portions are big as well lol. Staff is very friendly and gave great recommendations. The place is relatively on the smaller scale so not a lot of seating. I noticed a lot of people come to get food to go so it is pretty popular. One thing I really like about this place is the special flavor syrups ( I think that's what they said they were) you can put in your matcha or other drinks! read more

This was my second visit to Babychan and it was a much better experience than the first. Admittedly, the first time was shortly after they opened, so they have had a lot of time to work out the kinks. This is a Japanaese-inspired bakery and cafe. You can either make a reservation or just go and order at the counter (there might be a line). This time we made a reservation and ordered some hot food as well as pastries. We tried a few items: - various pastries including a pettanko croissant, cinnamon roll, almond miso bun, and matcha danish. Favorites were pettanko croissant and matcha danish. - bonito fries which are delicious - kabocha salad - this was my first introduction to japanese pumpkin and i loved it. It's a really well balanced salad - breakfast sandwich - oh my god yes. The bun is perfection. And that tamagoyaki egg! My mouth waters just thinking about it. - strawberry sandwich - It wasn't my favorite strawberry sandwich I've had. When I was in Japan last year, every morning I'd go to 7/11 across the street and buy one and put it in our fridge so I could have it in bed that night (they'd always be sold out at night). I've been hunting for that feeling ever since. This scratched the itch, but guess I'll just have to go back to Japan (coming fall 2026 haha). The inside is cute, not too loud, and you can get your parking validated. Can't really go wrong with that. read more

I stopped by Babychan shortly after arriving in Nashville, looking for a light snack and some tea--and it turned out to be the perfect first stop. The crunchy cabbage and seaweed salad was incredibly flavorful despite its simplicity, with just the right balance of texture and freshness. The karaage was equally impressive--crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and clearly made with care. It was an ideal snack stop! Although it was super busy inside and the patio tables were filled, there were some tables in the plaza where we were able to sit while we enjoyed our food. read more

Reservations are a must if you are wanting to sit down and eat. They have a line where you can order bakery items and the to-go menu. Went on a Sunday morning around right at 10am and was greeted with a line right at the door but it moved fairly quick. I was able to place an order within 20 mins and another 15 mins to receive the food. Ordered the Strawberry Yuzu lemonades, Beef Curry Rice & Chicken Katsu Sandwich. I've never had beef & curry so good in my life. Very savory but not heavy. The chicken sandwich was fried crispy and the slaw compliments it real nice. The lemonade wasn't super sour and had the right amount of strawberry. Give this place try. The parking garage also has free 1 hour parking. read more

If there's one place in Nashville I was both nervous and eager to visit, it's Babychan. Reservations are a good idea if you want to avoid waiting. Location: The café is in one of the most serene parts of the city, overlooking the Cumberland River. They have plenty of parking, and the first hour is free. Bites & Sips: For an appetizer, I ordered the chicken karaage, which came with curry mayo. First of all, the chicken was perfectly crispy, and there were sliced pickled cucumbers on top - just delicious! For mains, my partner ordered the breakfast sandwich, which he devoured in no time. I got the egg curry tart and an onigiri. I really loved the egg tart, which was so flavorful and fresh, and the onigiri was equally delicious. For drinks, my partner ordered the Hokkaido latte, which was quite good, and I had to get the strawberry ceremonial matcha. Unlike many matchas I've had before, the one at Babychan was barely sweet, just the way I like it, with a really premium mouthfeel. Service: I really appreciate how fast the service is! The café handles a huge influx of diners, but the Babychan team does a great job managing everything. I loved Babychan, and it's definitely one of those places that's completely worth the hype. read more

I adored kisser and this lived up to generational standards. WOW! No words. Nothing was below an 8/10. Here's what we tried: -chicken katsu Sando: 9.5/10 - this wasn't too heavy... it was just right. The chicken was crispy even after sitting in the car and the coleslaw was a great pairing. The buttery bread was also just coming through amazingly. -crunchy salad: 9/10 - I thought this was good but my friend absolutely ADORED it. It is very tasty, I will say. Lots of texture, some salty seaweed goodness, and the dressing, whatever it was, was delish. -breakfast sandwich: 9/10 - this was a wild experience... the patty tasted EXACTLY like a dumpling! In a sandwich, it was wild. And the yuzu mayo... just wow. -hazelnut croissant: 9.5/10 - the croissant was perfectly caramelized with sugar. Crunchtastic. The ratio of ganache on top was also amazing (we love chocolate lol). -taro donut: 10/10 - PERFECTION. The perfect texture. So light, both the donut itself and the filling. FILLED TO THE BRIM with lovely and subtle taro filling. -Japanese soufflé cheesecake: 8/10 - I'm not a cheesecake person but the texture was marvelous and the flavor was also fruity / citrusy. Yum! The only "dissapointing" thing were the drinks but that was just because they really just tasted like normal lattes and we expected more excitement and novelty there. Definitely will come back and recommend to everyone I know! read more

Located in a once abandoned-looking warehouse, now trendy-modern complex, this Japanese-inspired bakery/brunch spot was a nice way to start my Nashville (2nd) trip. Mi amiga & I had a reservation that we arrived early to. There is a large open-seating area in the front where your doggies can hang too. Noticing the cute decor of cats & books everywhere, the gender-neutral restrooms were even cuter! Our server was kind & sweet, though I forgot to get her name. Mi amiga ordered the breakfast sandwich & sesame Swiss roll which were yummy & the perfect size. I ordered karaage, egg salad sando which I added salmon roe on top, & an iced matcha + espresso + strawberry which tasted interestingly satisfying altogether. Thank you, Babychan. read more

A very cozy environment, perfect for morning coffee and a bite. They offer a wide range of Japanese inspired baked goods and coffee. The seating inside filled up pretty quickly, so arrive early if you are with a larger group. The curry egg toast was great. I think I would have enjoyed it even more if there were an option to toast or warm it up. The breakfast sandwich has a nice blend of sweet and savory. I've never had a miso coffee before. Personally, I was not a fan, but I do not think it was objectively bad. It just was not my preferred flavor, but glad I tried it at least. read more

One of my new favorite restaurants in Nashville! I love their other restaurant, Kisser, so I knew I needed to try their new spot. As soon as you walk in the host greeted us, and let us know our table would be ready soon. We were sat right at the time of our reservation and greeted by our wonderful server. The interior is small and cozy with inside seating for a full dining experience and tables outside to enjoy treats from their case. We started with the kobocha salad and bonito fries. The salad was perfectly dressed; the tangy dressing balanced out the sweetness of the kobocha. The fries could have had a little more sauce, but the bonito flakes on top added a fun mouthfeel. My partner and I also tried the salmon chirashi bowl, unagi bowl, and doria. The star of the meal was the unagi bowl! The eel was perfectly cooked, topped with crisp cucumber and nori to balance out the umami flavor of the eel. The salmon chirashi bowl was fresh, and perfectly plated so every bite had a mix of toppings. The salmon was delicious. The doria was unlike any dish I'd had before, but was a delightful surprise. The cheesy rice paired perfectly with the seafood flavors. I cant wait to come back and try their pastries and matcha! read more

Overall: Really enjoyed the pastries here! It was so nice to have a Japanese bakery here in Nashville and the standouts for me were definitely the matcha (strawberry) and their curry egg tart! Also got the strawberry sandwiches (very filling), the black sesame roll, and savory hot dog bread. Service: Food came out quickly, especially for a larger group like ours -- would recommend making a reservation for indoor seating as it gets pretty busy! Ambiance: Very cute and cozy inside, we came shortly after the snow so it was also nice and warm. read more

Incredible Authentic Japanese bakery and lunch spot!! I've been here a couple of times already and love that there's always something new on the menu. Great seating outside and inside. I made a really good haul this time because every item I got was soooo delicious. On the lunch menu, shrimp sando is a must if you like shrimp. The milk bread is perfectly toasted and the shrimp is full of flavors with scallion and masago eggs. The curry beef rice was so flavorful and everything inside the rice bowl was perfect. I loved this dish a lot. For the pastries, matcha and red bean pastries were reallly delicious. Strong matcha and read bean flavors. The croissants were perfectly crisp and only slightly sweet. If you are looking for a savory dish, get the chili crisp egg puff. Get it heated. Yummm! Super efficient with ordering and waiting for food. I got everything to go, but I can't wait to come back and dine in. The owners Leina and Brian are the absolutely kindest and best! They validate parking too if you dine in for 2 hours and the parking garage already offers 1 hour free without validation. read more

The shop is a classic cute cafe -- with plenty of seating outside as well. There's an hour free parking in the nearby garage, or free street parking a block over from the store. The staff were friendly! Although it was busy, the service was prompt and kind. Note: proper seating for meals fills quickly! I would recommend making a reservation ahead of time, or preparing to wait a while. We got food from the bakery case instead-- 2 pettanko croissants and the egg curry tart. The pastries were all very well done!! Flavorful, but still flaky and soft. I only wish I got another egg curry tart to go Would definitely recommend ! read more

4.5* 1. I'm so happy to have found Babychan while visiting. Everything they make looks and sounds delicious. If I had unlimited stomach space, I would've ordered one of everything. 2. We came for breakfast and got an okinawan latte, matcha latte, red bean danish, black sesame swiss roll, breakfast sandwich, nama donut, cinnamon roll, and a kurobuta sausage bun. I know it's a lot but I would've loved to also try the chocolate pettanko croissant and yuzu tart. 3. My favorite sweet items were the red bean danish, cinnamon roll, and nama donut. My favorite savory item was the breakfast sandwich. 4. The red bean danish is a really cutesy pastry. I loved the flower-shaped pieces of butter on top, but the pastry itself was the star. It was crispy, flaky perfection and provided a great contrast in texture to the smooth red bean paste. The nama donut was pillowy and decadent - it wasn't too sweet and was definitely a treat. 5. Although it wasn't made to order, the breakfast sandwich was really yummy. Every component seems to be made in-house, and you can tell each element was thoughtfully developed and selected to create the perfect breakfast sandwich. The bun was fluffy, the pork gyoza sausage was perfectly seasoned, and I especially loved the tamagoyaki egg and rayu mayo. 6. If you're curious about the matcha, they use Jade Leaf. My latte was ok but I would've preferred twice the matcha. read more

We went on a Saturday afternoon at 1pm, didn't have reservations which was a mistake as there was a 1.5 hr wait for a table. It's a little unclear what the setup is when you walk in and it's a tight space so you will probably knock into someone on accident if it's the weekend. However, you could still order at the counter to get food and drinks to go. The seating outdoor is first come first serve and you don't have to get seated, so on a nice day it would have been okay. It just so happened that the day we went it was misty and cold, not their fault of course. We went ahead and ordered food since we were there and had been wanting to try it. I got the Karaage, Bonito Fries, Sausage Roll, and one of the cookies (chocolate, seaweed, sesame seeds), and the Okinawa Latte. Everything came out pretty quickly which was great. The latte was very good, the fries and karaage were too. However, while the food was good they weren't very flavorful. The karaage could have been a little crispier with more seasoning. The fries were well made, but with all the seaweed and the bonito flakes I was expecting more of a flavor bomb. If anything it made me wish the seaweed and bonito was replaced with good old fashioned salt. Same with the cookie, while it was different and inventive, i think I prefer sea salt to the sesame seeds and seaweed. That's just me though, I'm sure others may love that the ingredients aren't the usual. The sausage roll was good, but like everything else not something I'd make a trip back to get again. The service was friendly and everything came out quickly for take out. Not sure about dine in service though. There's 1 hr free parking in the parking garage, not sure if they validate parking for longer. read more

I had such high hopes, especially after coming back from Japan. We went on a Saturday and the line went all the way outside, it was crazy. We decided to leave and went back on a Monday. We got the egg sandwich, chicken sandwich, fries and that was underwhelming. Now the French onion soup was the best I've ever had. We also got the strawberry sandwich and tasted like nothing. I wanted to love this place so bad but it's just ok for me. read more

As someone who loves kisser for authentic Japanese food, I knew I had to try Babychan, which is the bakery from the same owners Leina and Brian. Salmon onigiri: very fresh and I love that they separate the seaweed through a plastic wrap from the rice until you're ready to combine them so they don't get soggy. Strawberry matcha: an amazing combo and the strawberries were very fresh. You could tell the matcha is legit and it elevates the pastry for sure. Yuzu tart: INCREDIBLE! If you love yuzu like I do, you must go here and get this. Just the right amount of tart and it's perfection. The crust of the tart is so good as well. Then on top they have the marscapone cream which is also very fresh. I got these to go but I saw they know have sit down with a lunch menu, so I'll have to come back to try those items. read more

Nashville, you've done it again. Stumbled into this little spot while exploring an up-and-coming pocket of Nashville that feels like industrial chic had a baby with cozy café vibes & honestly? A whole mood. I ordered the Strawberry Sandwich (yes, the internet-famous one) and listen... it delivered. Light, fluffy milk bread, fresh strawberries, whipped cream, a touch of mascarpone....it somehow manages to be delicate and filling. Like a cloud that's also a meal! 10/10 would snack again. If I wasn't so full I would have tried their other savory options! Literally want to eat through the entire menu. The Okinawan Latte was equally delicious with that Japanese brown sugar *chef's kiss* AND it wasn't overly sweet. Which I especially loved. Basically a hug in latte form. The staff was friendly and helpful with recs, the outdoor seating was open and airy, and the inside decor had that warm, cozy energy. Would I come back next time I'm in Nashville? Absolutely. Consider me a fan girl now. Thanks, BabyChan! read more

Tried a few of their bakery items which were pretty good. Cinnamon roll, curry egg tart, and almond miso bun. All of them were decent, nothing particularly stand out. I do appreciate how none of them are too sweet. Also a bit odd that the tables are basically all reserved. When we went on a Thursday morning, every single table had a reserved sign and there were maybe 2 people seated. Would've loved to get a chance to sit and enjoy our pastries in the shop but there's nowhere to do that inside! Maybe fewer reservation spots and allow more walk ins or just have at least one empty table! read more

I love this place. I usually just get a fun latte but this time I sat at the window/bar and ordered a salad with chicken. The dressing was sooo flavorful and the salad was full of crunchy goodness. The chicken was good, but lacking in flavor. Next time I want to try the chicken karaage. The iced black sesame latte was also very good- not too sweet. read more

Babychan - Crunch salad with chicken katsu - Bakeries Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I was a little skeptical about having a Japanese inspired breakfast, but my friend kept raving about this place and how she'd been coming almost weekly since her move to Nashville. So for our first breakfast outing she brought me here and I have to say, this is on my "when I'm in Nashville" spots I will be stopping at. We shared everything we ordered so that I could try it all. Highly recommend everything we got. The breakfast sandwich and the Chicken Katsu sandwich were so savory and satisfying. The chili Mayo sauce that comes with it was divine! I couldn't get enough of it so much so I ordered more. The strawberry sando looks like a work of art and tastes heavenly. Service was amicable and the place is cute. Be mindful of their closed days and make sure to check out their cool looking bathroom. read more

We've wanted to try Babychan for a good long while now, and finally scored a lunch res today. It's not a big place; Walk-in's are accommodated at a service counter, or they can wait (a very long time, apparently) for one of the few inside tables. The tables outside were plentiful, but they were used by folks who ordered inside and were waiting for their counter service orders to be ready. We were seated immediately upon arrival; friendly staff. The menu is short, but filled with Japanese classics. We over ordered because we wanted to try nearly everything. Chicken Karaage, egg salad sandwich on toasted thick cut milk bread, chicken katsu sando, and veggie curry, along with a lemonade and an orange "creamsicle" hot tea. Food took a while, which is a good sign; they cook everything to order. The egg salad sandwich was highly praised by my dining companion; I don't like egg salad, but took a bite and enjoyed it. The fried chicken was hot, well spiced, and served with a citrusy mayo based dipping sauce. It was a nicely sized portion as well. The chicken katsu sando was perfect in every way. Well fried chicken thigh, shredded lettuce, sauce on thick cut toasted milk bread. I could have eaten two! The veggie curry was epic. Huge portion of perfectly cooked rice, tender veggies, puffed rice to provide some texture, and picked diakon. The total for this feast? $60 plus tip. Super-highly recommended for authentic Japanese bakery/cafe classics, especially when you can score a res! read more

Great addition to the Nashville Japanese food scene. The onigiri options can be extended, but the food quality was top notch. The match latte was also on point. The dine-in vibe is a cramped and would not give a casual, cozy feeling of a cafe but thats because it's so crowded all the time. Would love to make it my usual place to go. read more

Such a gem! BabyChan is one of those spots that instantly makes you smile the moment you walk in. The ambiance is super cute -- modern, cozy, and filled with little details that make it feel special. I got the chicken katsu sandwich on Japanese milk bread, and it was incredible -- crispy chicken, soft and fluffy bread, and so fresh you can taste the care in every bite. I paired it with the Hokkaido coffee, which was rich, smooth, not super sweet, and perfectly balanced -- definitely a must-try if you're a coffee lover. We also shared the cinnamon bread, and it was warm, sweet, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious that came with a great dipping sauce. Everything tasted so fresh and thoughtfully made, and the staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Bonus points that the garage validates parking for two hours, which makes visiting downtown so much easier. Overall, BabyChan is a perfect brunch or coffee stop -- excellent food, great vibes, and such a pleasant experience from start to finish. Can't wait to go back! read more

Absolutely in love with this new addition to Germantown! We only tried the bakery so far, we do want to dine in soon! We came in on a Saturday morning around 10am. There was a line, but it did move fairly fast. At a quality place as Babychan of course there will be a line and it's WELL WORTH IT! I would recommend skipping the drinks, I didn't think it was worth the extra wait. Their food and pastries are definitely their strong suit. I think due to being new and highly sought out, the drinks felt rushed and weren't as high of quality. We ordered a tea drink and a coffee and we both felt the same way honestly. Cute interior with plenty of outdoor seating- will say it can get quite crammed inside with a long walk in line. read more

Loved the name of this restaurant! Newly opened for a couple months now and sister restaurant of Kisser. This concept is filled with delicious savory and sweet pastries. Hot foods and coffee. I opted for the Chicken Karaage (crispy, juicy and flavorful with the chilli oil was a nice touch), Egg Salad Sando (YUMMY milk bread and the egg salad itself was seasoned nicely) and the beef curry rice (so good on a cold day and the beef was tender). Also got the japanese cheesecake for dessert and had a nice hint of lemon. You can still order food and get to go even without reservations. If you want to dine-inside, then reservations are highly recommended. There is seating outdoors as well. Coffee was too milky for me. read more

There may be a wait, but I can assure you the food at the end of the wait will be worth it! The ingredients they use at Babychan are so high quality, and you can taste the care that goes into each item. I don't even like eggs, but the breakfast sandwich was so delicious and tasted just like a dumpling, I actually loved it. The chicken katsu sandwich and strawberry sando are also not to be missed! There is parking in the garage next door, free for the first hour then $6 per hour. There's plenty of space to sit at small tables outside if you want to get something from the bakery without sitting inside for table service! read more

I'm not sure if I just expected more but I was very underwhelmed. I've been wanting to try Babychan for awhile and finally got around to it. There's a parking garage nearby. You can park and walk over. The patio seating is plentiful. When I got there, only coffee and bakery goods were available which was slighting annoying as I had to come back and stand in line again to get real food. Service was great and she explained the different drinks to me. My latte was excellent. I got a few bakery items including the black sesame Swiss roll (not a fan), the soufflé cheesecake (loved), and the sausage roll (too much bread but the sausage was great!) I sat outside and drank my coffee for the 15 min before lunch started. I went back in and ordered the strawberry sando, cinnamon toast, and chicken katsu. In my opinion, the strawberry sando is something that's more for optics than taste. It's strawberries and whipped cream on thick bread but the strawberries were plump and the whipped cream was fresh and only slightly sweet. The cinnamon toast could have used a little more sugar but my son seemed to like it. I was not a fan of the chicken katsu. The flavor wasn't bad but it was undercooked. I may give it another chance if I'm over in the area but I won't go out of my way to visit again. read more

Babychan is ridiculously hyped up on social media AND FOR GOOD REASON. Everything on the menu looked phenomenal which is why we ordered so much for only two people. Every item we got was delicious beyond belief. So much time and effort went into perfecting these recipes and I was so impressed. The seafood Doria was so unique and unlike anything I'd ever tried before. Crispy, creamy, savory, fantastic! And the eel! I am not a huge fan of unagi typically but WOW! definitely try those two out of everything on the menu. You will not be disappointed with whatever you choose. There was simply not a sour face in the entire restaurant. My mouth is watering just typing this. If you have the chance to dine in! DO IT! The staff was accommodating and attentive! The interior is so cute and a lovely place to have Sunday brunch. Overall I highly recommend. Can't wait to try everything on the menu! read more

Quick Japanese spot with really tasty food and a fun UFO-themed decor that makes the place feel unique. The lemonade was sweet (we added strawberries), and the beef curry rice was excellent. The chicken katsu and egg sandwich were both really flavorful. The fries were good, though they had a slightly fishy taste--but that was expected given how they're prepared. The standout item for us was definitely the strawberry dessert sandwich--easily the best thing we tried. The coffee was solid too, about a 4 out of 5 stars. The hazelnut chocolate croissant was a close second. Service was good overall. The restaurant space is a bit tight, so I'd recommend making a reservation if you plan to go. read more

Babychan is such a beautiful addition to Germantown, from the talented team behind Kisser. This Japanese-inspired café and bakery pairs warm, minimalist aesthetics with thoughtful flavors. Came here for soft opening and will definitely have to make it back to try all the sold out bakery items! I ordered the Okinawan latte, and it was incredible: smooth, slightly spiced (think chai), and not overly sweet. The breakfast sandwich was the real standout: pork gyoza sausage, tamagoyaki egg, white American cheese, and a flavorful mayo. So yummy I also tried the curry egg tart--it was good and creative, but probably not something I'd get again. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and even though it's a new spot, the vibe felt calm and intentional. Heads up: they're still new and popular, so you may wait a bit, but the line moved quickly and it was worth every minute. read more

This is maybe my most disappointed experience in Nashville. Cool spot. Nice staff. But every. Single. Time. I've tried Babychan it's been underwhelming. Same outcome each time. Food is solid. Fair. But there's better or just as good options all over Nashville. Do not go out your way for this, or wait in line. Lattes... a joke. You can tell visually. Imbalanced latte ratio + milk overload + zero flavor. Just flat out disappointing. Solid food though. Not worth going out of your way. read more

A life changing meal - everything was so amazing. When I arrived back to the Bay Area, I instantly started to look for somewhere I can get something similar. I cannot. I just wish I had more time and room in my stomach. This is one of those rare spots I can actually order every single item because everything looks so amazing. The service was nice and attentive. The ambiance was really thoughtfully put together and the noise level was just right. Not too loud, not too quiet either.

I have been here multiple times but I recently tried their Matcha pastry & cookie and OMG new fave desserts! Whenever I come I make sure to always get an egg curry tart it's so perfectly seasoned and is perfect at any time of the day. The service here is always busy so that is one drawback. They offer reserved seating and I love the natural light in the space or you can order on to go on the counter. I always spend so much money here because I literally want everything on their bakery window, I do wish it was a little more affordable but the quality in the ingredients justify the price I promise. read more

Babychan is definitely worth the hype. In a town full of cookie cutter restaurants popping up every day, Babychan breaks the cycle with its local-first feel. If you're looking to beat the crowd, try mid-morning around 11am. There's ample seating and the interior is gorgeous. Unlike many new establishments in Nashville, Babychan offers a warm, inviting and modern aesthetic that's great for remote work or just a quick breakfast. Their food is full of flavor and the coffee is delicious. It's a little on the pricier side but that's to be expected with it coming from the folks at Kisser. They offer nothing short of high-quality and I'm always happy to pay. Their lattes are perfect for someone who enjoys coffee rather than someone who enjoys sweet drinks so keep that in mind. I'm of the former and had the okinawan. It was subtly sweet and smooth - the perfect latte in my opinion. As for eats, I recommend the green tea tiramisu and a kurabuta sausage bun. Only thing that would elevate the bun is if I were warmed. If you're getting it to go, pop it in the microwave for a few seconds. Overall, this is a wonderful addition to the Germantown neighborhood and a break from the monotony of new cafes in Nashville. I'll be back! read more
