    I had their ice latte with oat milk and cinnamon powder. The cinnamon cost me 75 cents. Really??? Since when do places charge for powder. Give me a break! The latte was excellent but minus a star for the extra charges.

    One of the better airport matcha lattes I've had. I stopped in to Bongo Java prior to bag pickup for a pick me up and am happy that I did. The shop had a chill and eclectic vibe, the baristas were super nice and seemed to be having fun together while making drinks, and everything was clean and well stocked. I'd ordered a Matcha Latte, and though it was a little more pricey for its smaller size, it did its job and gave me the energy I needed. It was a little more on the bitter side as I'd opted for unsweetened, and had the matcha grade been higher it would have been an excellent beverage. It was steamed really well, the milk thicker and creamy, but I was a little disappointed to find it didn't have that foamy layer on top. It was a solid Latte, it just missed the mark for being a 5 star latte. Matcha enthusiasts at the Nashville airport, give this place a go!

    This location is after security at the Nashville airport. We were headed to the C gate. This was the 1st coffee shop we saw. The line wasn't too bad. It was 4:30am. I was a little surprised it was open so early. It's pretty basic with no seating. They had a variety of coffees, espresso drinks, sandwiches. I got a small latte. The almond milk was $1 extra. The drink was ok nothing special. The pricing was pretty standard. I've been to some airports where the lattes were double the price. The staff wasn't friendly but my drink was ready pretty quick.

    Coffee shop at the Nashville International Airport. Got the Into the Wild latte that did the trick of waking me up with a warm drink on a cloudy day before a flight. Quick service and a decent food selection.

    Ordered a roll over latte at the airport on my morning flight and asked for 2% milk. I don't know if it's the latte flavor or what- but it just tasted like I was drinking milk that had gone bad. Wasn't a fan of the latte at all. The 2 stars was for the service staff being super efficient

    Service was fast and friendly. Coffee is a 4. Breakfast sandwich is a 2. Burnt and the "crispy bacon" was anything but.

    Stopped in here on the way to our gate. The sizes are much smaller than I feel they should be. The coffee was good. I got the local, which was honey & cinnamon.

    Mixup with the sandwich. Where's the Swiss?

    We ate here Thanksgiving morning because everything else was closed. They messed up both egg sandwiches. My husband ordered the everything on an everything bagel. The sandwich came out with no meat on a whole wheat bagel. They tried rectifying it by doubling up the meat on my husband's sandwich. The bagel was hard and the sausage patty fatty. My scrambled egg with bacon and Swiss came out as fried egg with cheddar. The only good thing was the hot chocolate. I've never paid $14 for an egg sandwich before unless it came with sides. We would not recommend!

    Iced caramel latte

    Fake egg breakfast sandwich and weak espresso. $10 for the sandwich, $6 for the coffee, $4 tip = $20 wasted.

    I got the into the wild latte here wish is just a lavender latte. I didn't love it nor hate it. The worker here were really friendly though. And this is in a terminal we're a lot of people aren't at so it was empty

    Dutch Bros has been one of my favorite coffee stops ever since I discovered it years ago while…read moreworking in Davis, California. So when I spotted one in the Donelson neighborhood of Nashville during a work trip, I didn't hesitate to pull in. Fun fact: despite the name, Dutch Bros isn't from the Netherlands. It's an American coffee company founded in Grants Pass, Oregon, by brothers Dane and Travis Boersma. That Pacific Northwest coffee culture definitely shines through. It was exactly what I remembered--friendly people, fast service, fair prices, and consistently great coffee. If you're new to Dutch Bros, do yourself a favor and order the Golden Eagle. It's rich, creamy, perfectly balanced, and one of those drinks you find yourself craving long after you've finished it. They also have plenty of creative drinks if you're looking for something different, and they don't skimp on the espresso. If you need a caffeine boost before hitting the road, they've got you covered. What really keeps me coming back, though, is the people. Every Dutch Bros I've visited has been genuinely welcoming. The staff always seems happy to be there, and that positive energy makes a quick coffee stop feel a little brighter. Whenever I see a Dutch Bros on a road trip, I make it a point to swing through the drive-thru. It's become one of my favorite travel traditions. If you're passing through Nashville or you're lucky enough to have one in your hometown, put Dutch Bros on your list. I have a feeling you'll understand why so many people are loyal fans. Life is too short not to eat--or drink--well. Get out there and taste the world.

    This review leads off my 2025 Nashville, Tennessee Yelp series and is my first Yelp review in the…read morefifteenth state that I have spent time in as a Yelper. So, it is time to spill the beans on Green Beans Coffee. That is, that excluding a Starbucks kiosk in the Hilton across the pedestrian bridge, it is the only coffee shop and possibly business beyond Security. When my brother and I arrived at BNA baggage claim on June 23, 2025; it was an hour before my Dad would arrive. I had been flying for hours and wanted to perk up with coffee. The first thing we did was ride the elevator to the pedestrian bridge and into the Hilton. The Starbucks kiosk appeared to be closed. So, we started off our Nashville vacation with Green Beans Coffee, a name that has been serving the city since 1997. This coffee shop has more of an airport vibe than a cozy coffee shop. However, it has a Nashville twist two it. At the corner of the coffee shop is a stage. Country Musicians perform there. I had just missed The Brian Ashley Trio. Although I could've ordered the coffee from a QR code on the table,and they would of brought it to my table; I chose to order at the counter. The friendly barista exchanged $4.12 for the medium coffee. That leads to the point that Green Beans did have more of a laid back environment in comparison to the businesses inside the airport. As I started up my Nashville vacation, I thought that this is solid coffee. And reasonably priced coffee for a business that lacks competition beyond Security in a major airport. Although the environment was more of an airport vibe, the spaciousness and seating offerings made it a pleasant place to wait for my Dad's plane to arrive. It is a short walk to baggage claim. Additionally the Wi-Fi was strong. As I conclude my leading review of my 2025 Nashville Tennessee serious, I am giving Green Beans Coffee. It was a good spot to perk up on the start of the Nashville vacation.

There's a small parking lot and also a drive through. I headed inside just so I could get a vibe for the place. It was around 10:30 on a Saturday morning and it was packed but the line was moving efficiently. There are a few tables and seating areas that look comfy and many people were enjoying attractive brunch plates in addition to coffee. Service was friendly and patient and everyone was working hard as a cohesive team. None of their seasonal specialty drinks were really calling my name, so I settled on an iced cinnamon dolce latte. I saw on their Instagram they had a Thai coconut mango sticky Rice Krispie treat on special and that had ME written all over it, so I was thrilled when I managed to snag one of those. My drink came out quickly and I was on my way! My latte was tasty. Not too sweet, balanced, and smooth. It was a scoche heavy on milk imo but I definitely enjoyed it overall. The cinnamon flavor was lovely. The Thai coconut mango sticky Rice Krispie treat was super yummy and such a unique and cool idea! A little more coconut flavor would've taken it to heavenly heights, but the mango bits were in there at a perfect ratio and added some great texture. Would happily eat this again! Definitely a sweet and inventive local spot with a super wholesome vibe. I'd return in the future next time I'm nearby in Nashville!

The interior decor is beautiful and creates a really nice atmosphere, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, something I saw really changed my impression. While waiting, I had a clear view into the back where food was being prepared, and I saw a staff member sitting on a stool handling ingredients with bare hands and no gloves. Watching that made me uncomfortable and raised concerns for me about food safety practices. It's frustrating because the food itself is truly great and the service was kind. I'm leaving this review in hopes that management sees it and addresses the issue, because with stronger food-handling standards this place could easily be a 5-star restaurant.

The Beef was good, too, just not my favorite. When I arrived to pick up my online order, they made my chai on the spot, which I appreciated. It was delicious, but next time I'll order half sweet.

It took me a few years to make it to District Coffee, and now that I have made it, I can't stop going! I am a classic coffee shop guy, and a classic iced coffee guy, so the simple pleasures meet a simple space when I pop in here. While I love sampling their seasonal flavors, they always create magic no matter the season, I normally go for the cold brew with a splash of almond milk and an addition of the sugar free vanilla syrup. Simple perfection! They have a good-sized food menu with several items from meat pies, sandwiches, waffles and even tots. I have had the loaded tots, and while an odd combination with coffee, they were quite tasty! My usual is a pastry of some kind, whatever catches my eye in the case when I get to the counter is what usually ends up on my plate. The space is well laid out and features a few spaces that each have their own vibes from the small tables for those working or studying, to the window counter, the backroom with a communal table and a couch and they even have a boardroom that is rentable for those super official meetings. I normally tuck myself in the backroom, in one of the plush side chairs and hang out for a bit. Service is okay here, honestly probably my only critique. Level of service is definitely the least consistent in my visits so far. Never enough to keep me away, but definitely enough for me to notice. Overall, I am a fan of District Coffee, and when I find myself cruising around this part of South Nashville, you best believe I will be swinging by.
