Most items were out which was disappointing. I'm a tea drinker and only option was peppermint which isn't my favorite but went ahead and got it. $5 for a small tea is far too much in my opinion. For Sunday early morning to be out of most items is unfortunate. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seems like a great spot to come work or catch up with someone at.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Pretty quiet and clean, staff was nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I didn't get food here - so I can't speak to the reviews on that, but I did my standard classic test of a cappuccino. It came out beautiful! It was rich and flavorful and it came in this super cute mini mug. The comments here on the staff just wasn't my experience - I had the nicest person check me out and we ended up talking coffee. He made sure to serve the next person in line before finishing suggesting some other places to try in Nashville. The barista who brought me my drink was also kind and warm. I'm gonna come back to try these crazy pour overs! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The location is relatively large and spacious, and was clean and well maintained.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The coffee is excellent. The staff was pretty attentive, and relatively friendly. Certainly worth a stop for coffee in Germantown, and a good location for working or having a (casual) meeting. read more

Very overpriced and mediocre coffee. I personally think it's overhyped. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location is in a pretty cool area, they open up the garage door on nice days so that's a plus. It's a good vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They weren't as friendly as the other coffee spots I go to in town. I don't like leaving not so positive reviews, I didn't have the highest expectations and I was still thrown off. read more

Barista Parlor - Germantown - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We visited here during the Christmas Holiday. We decided to go off and away from the crowd in the noise of downtown Nashville into this nice quiet neighborhood not too far from it. After walking around, we stumbled upon this café. As expected of a café, it smells delicious in here. The vibe was chill with a few people working on their laptop, some folks quietly chatting amongst themselves, and good music playing in the background. The environment is very neat and clean with a minimalism style decor. The vintage music equipment was a nice touch. While we were here, I got the "strawberry fields" pour over coffee. The blend of beans and the style of brew that was applied really did make this taste like strawberries in coffee format. It was quite unique and a good pick-me-up. This hit the spot during the cold winter time we visited here. read more

Arrived at 12:15 and at 12:55 I finally received my order which consisted of one bourbon vanilla coffee. After 20+ minutes of seeing others who ordered after me get their orders, I spoke with an employee about it. they said they have completed the Orders in the system and they were out of bourbon vanilla at the moment, So it would be a bit longer. there was no mention they were out when I ordered. so, 40 min later I received my $9 coffee with no apologies whatsoever. This use to be a great establishment and it has clearly gone so down hill. read more

Used to love this place. It was part of my wife and I'd Saturday morning routine. Then they had a bunch of labor issues, all the staff quit... the positive energy left the building. But the FINAL straw was when they replaced their amazing biscuit sandwiches with this pre-made monstrosity. It is not nearly as good and can't be modified (e.g., to make it vegetarian) read more

I don't get the hype with this place and why their coffee is more expensive than other local Nashville coffee shops. I judge a place by their cold brew and theirs always punches you in the face with bitterness on the first sip. I only come here because it's located near my house, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get Barista Parlor. There are far better coffee shops to check out in Nashville. read more

It seems like every time I'm in Nashville I discover yet another Barista Parlor. This one, located in Germantown, is yet another gargantuan space with their infamous rectangular-shaped counter. One thing I get really excited about before entering Barista Parlor is seeing who they have playing on vinyl. Yep, they have a dope set up with lots of records on the shelves. This time, I got even luckier than I anticipated. Dinosaur Jr. and one of my personal favorites, Master of Reality by Black Sabbath. #PraiseIommi You're doing yourself a disservice if you don't order a biscuit sandwich. I'm not normally one to seek out biscuits. But hot damn, BP makes one of the finer ones I've had the pleasure of scarfing down. For my money, it's always a coffee shop I must visit when in Nashville. No wonder more locations are popping up by the minute! read more

Great vibes!! Love love love this place! Great coffee, great baristas, great space! I had been here before, but decided to stop in for some caffeine before heading to Brooklyn Bowl for a concert. I got their seasonal winter drink-- Ginger Spice. I got an 8oz hot Ginger Spice latte for $6.50 and added 15ml of CBD for an extra $2.50. So tasty!! I am normally a black coffee drinker, but really enjoyed this drink! The workers were super nice. We were there until close and they gave us a free donut! Yummm!! Will be back when I can! read more

Barista Parlor - Germantown - a cup of cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Good coffee, but their food is way overpriced now for what you get. I typically get the cold brew and burrito and while the burrito is very good, it's not worth it anymore for two specific reasons. 1) The amount of chorizo you receive is laughable. You could likely give it to someone and they would likely not know there was even meat in it if you didn't tell them. The amount of egg and cheese is generous, but it overtakes all of the other ingredients in the burrito, especially the chorizo 2) They recently increased prices and this burrito went from $8.50 to $11. What? How? Why? For the size and what you receive, it's definitely not worth $11. It looks like they increased the prices on most, if not all, of their food items by a few dollars each, so you're basically paying for slightly above average coffee and overpriced food within a good setting at this point. read more

Barista Parlor - Germantown - Strawberry Oat Milk Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This is a classic case of not keeping up with the competition. The coffee is good but because there are so many better options, it feels like BP has fallen off their game. Even the food is not as good as it was 2 to 3 years go. I used to crave their biscuits, now I go elsewhere. You can only live off a reputation for so long before people realize it. Great atmosphere and very nice staff, but there needs to be som innovation. read more

If you're looking for an iced drink, then definitely check out the Whiskey Caramel. It's the best drink they have to offer. I've tried a few of the other drinks here but I was not a huge fan of them. All of their drinks are a little too pricy. I don't think I've ever spent less than $7 here on a drink. I've tried a few of the pastry items too and they were pretty good. They do run out pretty quickly so make sure you get there in the morning if you're looking to grab one. read more

So expensive... it was $7.65 for a small iced latte. Then the suggested tip was 30% meaning it would have been close to $10 total. I also sat in and the glass it was served in was maybe 12 oz but completely packed with ice and not even filled to the top with coffee. It was gone in like 3 sips read more

I just went in to grab some chocolates. I felt like I was bothering the lady that was working. She was not rude, but definitely not friendly. The chocolates were fine but nothing special and not worth the price. Parking is impossible, so you will probably want to plan for that. read more

It used to be an experience to go to barista parlor. The dedication to flavor and ambiance was palpable. Now it's about as average as it gets. Everything is served in disposable cups and all food comes out in a to go bag. Our biscuit sandwiches were average with a reheated sausage patty inside. I guess let bygone days be bygone? We won't be back. read more

Most hipster coffee shop ever! And I live in Logan Square in Chicago so I know my hipster spots. Moving past the baristas with rolled up jeans showing an inch of skin and the wooden menu boards (this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen, by the way), Barista Parlor has some good offerings. When you walk in, it's a bit more pristine than I've ever seen a coffee shop. Amazingly high ceiling with tons of light flowing in. Every seat perfectly positioned and I even saw them adjusting seats as people got up to keep the instagrammable symmetry. Not gonna lie, I took a pic and posted it on Insta. It had to be done. Their drinks seem to change a bit with the seasons and they don't have a huge menu. But what they do have is really interesting! I enjoyed my latte quite a bit. Order at the register then they bring it out to you. They have a few locations around Nashville and I went to the location in Germantown. Lovely spot, great atmosphere and a bunch of great food & drinks. read more

Updated to 4 stars, as my past few interactions with baristas have been really friendly. Unfortunately my boyfriend loves their bourbon caramel iced lattes (they are really good, can't blame him), so the mortgage fund is really getting depleted here. It's still a bit expensive for what I'd like to spend on a coffee, so I don't come here often unless I need a sweet treat. read more

I am not a hipster, but I do appreciate hipster coffee joints. Great coffee. Fantastic people watching. Highly recommended. read more

The coffee was just ok. We had a bagel-nothing special and was fine. You can see from the picture there are small heaters located above windows, either they didn't have them on or they weren't set to warm enough because it was cold. read more

Hey BP Germantown, we see you! Love the style of this space, as with the other locations, it's airy and bright, easy to be highly productive. These are all things you need to have a great coffee shop. This morning was our first time visiting this location, it's really nice. There was no line, so we popped up, Julia R ordered an iced oat milk latte, and I, a hot one. They were both delicious and beautiful in their presentation. We also were grabbing a bite for breakfast and decided on the sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich. These we weren't as impressed with. They aren't very balanced when it comes to the ratio. It feels like there were two eggs and a very small amount of cheese. Also, the sausage patty was small, but I was kinda happy about it because it was just kind of flavorless and not what I was expecting. The biscuit had a hard time holding it all together, which made it a little difficult to eat. Next time, I will probably just come for coffee, likely not food. read more

Two words: WHISKEY CARAMEL! What better way to start the day than with a smooth iced coffee with a splash of whiskey. Go for it! Trust me. This coffee shop is very hip; one of the coolest I've seen.

4 words: iced whiskey caramel latte. This place is just as amazing as you've heard. It's the quintessential hipster hot spot and a great place to work and write. I worked remotely from this location one day and was hella productive. The coffee is delicious and the atmosphere is unique and inviting. The staff was super busy but were still really friendly! Customer service is a HUGE thing for me. A quick smile and "hey, how are you" goes a long way in determining who I give my money to. So, with that, the Germantown BP will be my coffee home until someone else steps up. The branding, the drinks, the instagram-ability (?) - all 10's. I get what the hype is all about. read more

The girl who checked us out wasn't very friendly, which not everyone has to be super friendly, but still, for a job like this, don't act like your customers are an i convenience. I got a drip coffee and my friend got a coffee soda, the condiment station isn't really apparent at first, we had to ask where it was cause it blended in with so much of the other decor. Then we had to ask for sugar because the small cup they had out to hold packets of sugar was out, again not a big deal but asking them for sugar felt like we were asking for a big favor. Then we stood there next to the station waiting on my friends drink, and then waited and then waited some more, the 2 girls behind the counter were taking selfies and on their phones. We found a seat and waited. Thinking maybe it was actually something we had to get ourselves, but after finding out that it wasn't in the fridge case we asked the guy that had showed up behind the counter, I asked him, and he said "no we make it" and I was like "oh, we've been waiting, but it's okay" because I didn't want to be rude, well after sitting for a few minutes more and the couple behind us got their drinks my friend went up and asked where his drink was. It took them less than a minute to make, they said that it hadn't printed the ticket, but it's funny that immediately after we told them we hadn't gotten the drink she came over to the printer that was right next to where we were sitting, looked at it, discussed it with the other girl, so I'm pretty positive they simply just were more interested in their phones than doing their jobs. read more

Typical coffee shop options. Great for socializing and quick bites. Not great for working remote (unless you love alternative music blaring in your ears). If you want some strong coffee, grab their cold brew! While Barista Parlor is a little on the expensive side, the food and coffee options are definitely worth it. Major warning - their burritos are massive and will put you to sleep! Inside you'll find a mix of young professionals and hipster-esque individuals socializing, and collaborating to loud alternative music. I've never had trouble finding a seat, as this place is spacious and massive. The natural lighting through the garage doors is relaxing and comforting. read more

I never understood people that would hang out for hours at a coffee shop until I went to Barista Parlor. The ambience alone is worth the drive for me from Franklin. A record playing Huey Lewis and the News plays over the loud speaker. Strangers talking to each other at the bar. Tall windows let in amazing light that showcases the coffee making equipment like museum lighting. There are 2 large garage doors that are open today and the breeze lulls you in to a coffee haze as you sip your beverage between deep sighs. I don't mean to get poetic but if you've been here, you get it. The barista's here take coffee seriously. There are 4 beakers reminiscent of a 7th grade Science project along the bar area making fresh drip coffee. I want to take one home so bad! I find myself often staring at them like an aquarium. Its mesmerizing yet so simple. I posted a pic but it doesn't do the 3 tier, glass, spiral, coffee joy ride justice. I am easily amused. To echo other reviewers, the staff isn't warm and fuzzy. Not that they need to be but if you catch eyes with one of them and smile, prepare yourself for a quick look away or for them to focus on your forehead. Let them save their 'smiling' energy on making amazing coffee. The menu boasts a daily drip. Hot or iced. Sweet coffees, lattes and an espresso with mineral water for fellow enthusiasts. They serve breakfast items so I've seen and apparently the biscuit is to die for. Maybe one day I'll try something other than the iced vanilla bourbon. Just kidding. read more

While incredibly convenient for me, I did not find anything too special about barista parlor. While they do have some unique coffee offerings I don't think the price and the quality quite align. Outside of the coffee I also tried the breakfast burrito, which was quite large but lacked any real flavor to make it stand out. read more

I've lived in Germantown for almost a year and finally broke down to go in here bc kept seeing their 10 yr anniversary posts. So much regret. Locals know the other two places close by are so much better.... I ordered the key lime pie croissant. When he handed me this I said "is this the key lime pie croissant?" He said yea. So I said "it looks like a cinnamon roll" and he says "yea that's just the way it looks" Y'all. I give people the benefit of the doubt so when I got home I unraveled it. This is a cinnamon roll. A dry barely cinnamon sprinkled hard ball of dough. There is nothing limey or croissant like about it. Considering I just spent $13 on a boring ice coffee and something inedible I'm thoroughly annoyed. read more
