    chicken katsu sandwich, steak and eggs, beef curry, taro donut
    Sarah T.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    this place is in such a great area. i say after you order, definitely go walk around. but i got the matcha and the strawberry sandwich. i would both were about a 7/10. the service was great and the atmosphere was so inviting. chill vibes all around

    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.

    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!

    Shrimp sando
    Christine L.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Ashley S.

    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.

They have a parking lot with free parking on the side of the building. It's a huge bonus that it's quick and easy to park. The shop has several cases that are always packed with a variety of treats. They have whole cakes, cake slices, decorated cookies, sweet scones, savory scones, rice krispy bars, seven layer bars, lemon bars, muffins, several types of cookies, and more. Even when I have arrived in the middle of the day the cases have been full and still have a great variety. I have loved everything I have tried here. My favorites are the rice krispy treats (especially the fruity one), the dolly bar, the almond cookie, and scones. The cake slices are delicious, but very rich. We split this into two or three pieces. They also have a shop next door that has a lot of cute party and gift items. If you have a sweet tooth then you need to check out Baked on 8th.

The fondant version is what we got complete with mis-spelling and child like painted on details. After notifying Kelly that we were not happy with the presentation she proceeded to text a bunch of photos of cakes she's done that turned out great, incessantly defending her sub-par work. She blamed the extreme heat for inability to complete as ordered, they tried putting it in the freezer to keep it cold but just too hot out. She said she would have directed us differently as far as type of cake decor if she had known the weather would be so hot- we ordered this cake far in advance and the the heat wave was anticipated days before we arrived. It really just seems like the type of detail we wanted was not something this bakery is capable of doing. We had the cake delivered to the house before we got there which was super convenient. Only got concerned with this after Kelly told us to make sure to lock our doors at night since we were in a "bad" neighborhood. Since the bakery had the code to our doors and she was texting this late at night, this comment was received as threatening and we became concerned for our safety. The customer service and service recovery is something this bakery really needs to work on, we will NEVER be working with them again. Only positives... She did acknowledge that the order looked very rushed and gave us 10% refund. The cake tasted great, but just not worth the money in my opinion.

I arrived early around 8:00 a.m. on a Saturday and immediately noticed a steady stream of people pulling up, grabbing bakes, and heading out. The staff was incredibly cheerful and welcoming, especially for a busy Saturday morning and I really appreciate that. The bakery's display case looked stunning, with every pastry and cookies looking more tempting than the last. I spotted a gorgeous mango croissant that caught my eye, though I decided to save that one for a return trip. I really appreciate a bakery that offers a great balance between savory and sweet options. Our order included an Everything Bagel Croissant, a Prosciutto Croissant, an Almond Chocolate Croissant, and a Monkey Bread. The Everything Bagel Croissant was an absolute genius combination. With a dollop of cream cheese right in the center and everything bagel seasoning on top, it brought the absolute best of my two favorite breakfast worlds together. The Prosciutto Croissant apparently tasted good, my husband claimed! On the sweet side, I thought the Almond Chocolate Croissant was decent. The frangipane was tasty, though a bit on the sweeter side, and I wish there was a bit more dark chocolate to balance that sweetness out. The real star of the show for me, however, was the Monkey Bread. It was gooey, pillowy, incredibly generous with the caramel, and loaded with sticky pecans. It felt like total perfection. I am definitely returning soon to try more.

They had a solid selection of pastries available, though no cookies that morning (I've had them here before, so I was a little disappointed to miss those). The staff member immediately recommended the cinnamon roll, so I went with that. I took it home and warmed it up before sharing it with my family, and that definitely made a difference, it was excellent warm. I don't think it would've had the same impact eaten cold. Service was quick, in-and-out in just a few minutes. I didn't notice much in terms of seating, so it seems more grab-and-go than a place to linger. Overall, simple visit but a very strong cinnamon roll recommendation.
