    Modern coffee shop with good strong coffee and house baked pastries and a small food menu. I grabbed a cappuccino and relaxed and checked some emails. The space is very comfortable and so is the seating area. I believe there is a drive thru, but I did not use it. Casual. East parking. Good service. Please come and create your own adventure.

    Completely raw bacon on my bagel sandwich

    I keep trying to give this place another chance, but keep leaving disappointed, unfortunately. The food & coffee are good (when cooked right); its the service that is the main issue. So many people I talk to have agreed they stopped going because of the service as well. The service is sub par at best- Teenagers standing around chatting while one person works, then unapologetic for how long your food takes. They look at you shocked when you say something about it. They are constantly out of ingredients early in the day, even coffee ingredients. One day I changed my order twice due to this & then ended up going somewhere else instead when they also couldn't make the 3rd option. Unacceptable! I saw other reviews stating this. Does anyone even read and care about these reviews? This morning was my 4th attempt at giving them another chance, and I will never return. The bacon on my sandwich was completely raw (see picture) & I waited over 15 min at the drive through window while two girls chatted and one girl was in the background working. Again, they were completely shocked that I wasn't happy. This is after guilt tipping them, because they ask for a tip before you get your food, annoyingly. This place had so much potential, but obviously poorly managed. Unfortunate.

    I absolutely love this spot! The decor is so fun and modern, it was a great place for remote work, and my vanilla latte was on point! My order was very quick and well made.

    Quality latte, kind barista and fast service, quiet + calming work environment! All around good place! They also have food options, though I've never tried them, I see people often order it!

    5 stars for esthetic, but a big drop in rating due to being out of ingredients during the early, morning hours of the day.. I. PARKING There's a free lot out front of the cafe. Easy. II. SERVICE Unprepared and unapologetic for being out of food items in the EARLY part of the day. I can understand this happening before closing time but in the morning? I see reviews that this happens often. That makes me assume, as a customer, that there's a lack of preparedness for demand. To me, a repeated offense is below the standard of any quality service. III. QUALITY This place is trendy with a mural, cozy couch & fireplace ~ photogenic and fun! There are also outlets scattered around the coffee shop for people to be able to camp out & complete some work. I got a decaf coffee because they didn't have what I wanted on the menu. It didn't taste right. Very watered down. IV. CAPACITY Fair amount of seating available for a Friday morning.

    A tiny coffee shop with big flavors! Can I get more cliche than that first sentence? Who knows, the future is unseen. Boom, roasted. Black press coffee is perfection. No frills, just straight forward delicious coffee. The space is small with only two main places to sit. This is more of a get it and go type of spot. From what I saw in the back they roast all of their own coffee, which I love! You can tell Black Press really puts the time and passion into each cup. I had a iced americano and a birthday cake cookie during my laptop work session here. The americano was super smooth and just slightly bitter. I sucked this down and ordered a second! The cookie was super soft and just right amount sweetness to cut through my americano. Turns out, the baker of the cookie was the cashiers mom! Black Press Coffee Shop. I salute you!

    I don't normally leave reviews before I've even served the food, but I felt compelled to write this…read moreone immediately. My son turns two this weekend, and this birthday means more to our family than most people will ever know. He was very sick around his first birthday, so we never got to have the celebration we had hoped for. This is our first real birthday party for him, and like many busy parents, I was trying to pull everything together at the last minute. I learned that Lili Bella's typically takes orders well in advance, but after speaking with the sweetest woman on the phone, she suggested I reach out to the owners directly because they might be able to help. They didn't have to. But they did. This local, family-owned, veteran-owned business fit me into their schedule for two dozen cupcakes with only a few days' notice. They helped me come up with ideas when I wasn't even sure what I wanted and made the entire process easy. When I arrived, I was completely charmed. The bakery is tucked inside a beautiful historic stone cottage that feels warm, welcoming, and full of personality. The owners are some of the most genuine, down-to-earth people I've met in a long time. Not "good customer service" nice--actually kind people who genuinely care about their customers and community. As I was leaving, they handed me their last fresh cinnamon roll of the day and told me I had to try it. No charge. Just kindness. Who does that anymore? While I was there, I learned they do cakes, cookies, cupcakes, coffee, tea events, and even have a Bridgerton-inspired experience coming up that I'm already planning to attend with my mother-in-law. The cupcakes are for tomorrow's pool party, so I'll happily update this review after everyone has tried them. But honestly, the experience alone earned five stars before I ever opened the box. In a world that often feels rushed and transactional, Lili Bella's feels like the opposite. It feels like community. It feels like kindness. It feels like the type of business you root for because you genuinely want good things to happen to good people. Thank you for helping make my son's birthday special. You've earned customers for life. And if you've been losing a little faith in humanity lately, go buy a cinnamon roll from Lili Bella's and spend five minutes talking to the people who run it. You'll leave with more than dessert.

I was in this area for work and was looking for some gluten free vegan sweets. It appeared that Healthy Body Bakery could satisfy that craving, as they cater to those with dietary restrictions. It's a small business, tucked behind the main street-facing businesses of a building. I was warmly greeted upon entry. They only had one gf vegan cake option on the day that I went (vanilla cake with vanilla icing), but they had several gf cupcakes and muffins available. I grabbed a cake slice (for half off!) and a cupcake. VANILLA CAKE SLICE Vegan and gluten free vanilla cake and vanilla icing. The cake was moist and the taste was ok to a seasoned vegan. What I mean by that is, for decades I've watched (and tasted) as the vegan food game evolved. Back in the 90s, vegan vanilla cake had this same beige/light brown color and flavor. So I actually knew what it would taste like before I even bought it, based on the color. However, it did not taste gluten free and that is a flex. The icing was slightly lighter than a buttercream icing, but definitely not a whipped cream icing. For people who don't like "too sweet", this icing would be perfect for you. It was sweet without the sugar rush. I would love to see them improve on their vegan vanilla cake though. If they can get it to that light and fluffy yellow vanilla color, they'd join the dozens of awesome vegan bakers across the country who've mastered this feat. MANDARIN ORANGE CUPCAKE A tasty orange flavored cupcake with the same aforementioned vanilla icing. It was moist; it did not have that typical grainy gf texture or dry gf taste. It was a very good cupcake. I believe they also have a peach gf vegan cake in their rotation. If I was in the area again, I'd definitely return to try that peach flavor.

I didn't actually go into the store to reduce risk of exposure, so I'm not exactly what all the varieties were. But we ended up getting coconut flavored items, pineapple tops, and other moist and various texture and flavor breads. I mean, carbs are delicious and pair it with your favorite beverage- magic! I would love to support again one day, but I am concerned that my mother who was the one who went in notes that none of the personnel were wearing masks or gloves. The same for the customers. My mother did don both asks and gloves and practiced social distancing. However, it's concerning to hear that the business wasn't wearing any kind of PPE. I've noticed this in middle TN in general and am concerned. I would advice the team to take precautions and for that reason, I will have to give them a lower rating. However, after COVID-19, I would like to go in for the full experience and try it for myself.

Parking is limited, but is enough given the in/out nature of stopping by Nothing Bundt. Our normal order at NBC is a variety pack or two of Bundtinis.
