    Happy hour details!!
    Christina E.

    I've never actually been to a snooty coffee shop before and I'm not a fan. The staff- NOT friendly. Wasn't greeted when entered, stood at the counter a bit, then asked about which option on the menu was better, and the response was rude as heck. Overall ambiance is cold and sterile I got one of the breakfast sandwiches, it was a unique flavor profile and I ate it but it's not something I will be back for. In fact I'm not sure if I will be back, even though these pastries are looking very delicious lol. Parking is not very easy. I think the lot to the side/behind them is not for their customers.

    cardamom latte

    Had extra time to enjoy a coffee date with a good book and finally could try this spot in East. This was my first visit to this location, and I really loved the experience. I lucked out with parking right outside, though I imagine at certain times of day it could be more challenging. Note on the culture: Being able to "dine in" with table service was interesting and unexpected and it elevated the experience from a typical coffee shop to more of a café or diner vibe. Just know that you can't order and sit wherever; you order inside and are either assigned a table or take your food to go. The staff was very attentive and friendly, and because of the time of day they seated me at a larger table instead of the community table since the smaller ones were already in use. Coffee: I ordered a hot cardamom latte and absolutely savored it-highly recommend. Food: I'd been told the breakfast burrito was a must-try, and I fully stand by that recommendation. It was so good. I went all in and added the veggies and vegan sausage, which was totally worth it. The vegan sausage reminded me of crumbled chorizo without the grease, which made it even better. They drizzle this amazing cilantro lime crema over it and serve it with tomatillo salsa for dipping, truly chef's kiss. I also appreciated the water carafe at the table and real glassware. Staff come to the table to check you out when finished.

    This was close to where we were staying so we stopped in for coffee and breakfast. It's all good! I had coffee and the green chili biscuit. A fresh biscuit with egg, green salsa and cheese. It was served with Crystal hot sauce. It tasted great. The coffee was rich & delicious. Service was fast and often. Home run all the way around.

    So Im not much of a coffee drinker so not sure how to speak on that. I ordered a black tres volcanes pourover and it woke me up. But I enjoyed the music and ambiance. They were playing some R&B. That was a nice touch. Service was good and quick. I was always checked on. But a quaint little spot to setup a laptop and knockout some work.

    This Dose cafe is a great neighborhood spot in East Nashville. The space is really large and there's plenty of options to eat & work at a high top counter, tables or a bar against the windows. Unfortunately their coffee is insanely bitter, which I do not like. Even after adding creamer, flavor and sugar, it was still too bitter for me to drink. Parking is extremely limited, so beware!

    Latte with coconut milk and miel syrup, matcha latte with honey lavender syrup

    The coffee was good and our waitress was very kind and helpful! I got an iced latte with miel syrup which was very yummy and my friend got a hot matcha latte with lavender honey syrup, she liked her drink.

    Egg and cheese biscuit.
    Jeannie M.

    Local coffee shop with charm and friendly staff. Indoor and outdoor seating and yummy food!! I am a biscuit snob and would give their biscuits a 4 but there homemade strawberry jelly - absolutely delicious! The vanilla bean latte was a hit with our group, smooth and delicious with just the right amount of robust coffee flavor. Many gluten free and vegan options as well. Highly recommend!

    We stumbled upon this spot to grab some coffee because the area is really nice to walk around. I was pleasantly suprised because I've been disappointed in coffee shops a lot recently. I loved their cold brew. Coffee was bold and not watered down. We didn't sit but it seems like a lot of people like to sit and talk here. Big social get together to grab cofeee and food. The chocolate chip cookie was amazing as well!

    Biscuit with sour cherry and vanilla jam, iced chai
    Christina B.

    One of my favorite places to get work done in the city! Though it's usually busy, it doesn't feel loud or cramped. The food is good quality, as are the beverages. I like that the pastry and food offerings rotate seasonally as well

    Spicy Egg Sandwich and Avocado Toast
    Barbara R.

    Went here with my family this morning and was excited to try a new coffee house. The vibe was definitely catered well and the art on the wall made me feel like this was going to be the place. I ordered a spicy egg sandwich and a "Barcelona" coffee while my partner got an avocado toast and a lavender latte. The coffee was ok In my opinion. Little too bitter for my liking. The sandwich was really good! Definitely did not estimate this level of spice in the sauce! The other downside aside from the coffee for me was the price. 50$ for 2 coffees and 2 sandwiches just does not sit right with me. I think before I commit to going back, I would need to check other spots in the area....

    Vanilla Lavender Latte
    Kinna D.

    I really enjoy this place, it's so cute inside and I love the option of grab and go or sitting down. I got a vanilla lavender latte and it was the perfect blend of coffee flavor and vanilla and lavender. Not too sweet, it was great! I will definitely be back. Service was quick and baristas were really friendly.

    Irish Cream Cake
    Liz J.

    We stopped in for an afternoon treat on a Sunday after staying nearby for the week. You can tell this business takes a lot of pride in the food and drinks that they sell. After reading the description of the Barcelona, I was sold. This is probably the best cold brew beverage I've ever had! The cold brew was perfectly smooth and balanced, and the whipped cream that they make to top this drink is nothing if not magical. It's thick and creamy without being overpowered with any sweetener or artificial flavor, as you drink the coffee and mix it together, it makes such a winning combination. I will be dreaming of this coffee. We also tried some Boston cream cake and coffee cake. The baked goods all looked amazing, the Boston cream cake was SUPER rich and a huge slice, and the coffee cake was perfectly crisped and not too sweet. All in all, this was a great stop. I didn't expect to see so many food and drink options, we would definitely come back next time we visit to try more things (and especially for that Barcelona). Service was standard, I felt the two working were hustling trying to keep all of the customers helped. Ambiance was on point, good music and open layout with lots of seating and unique decor.

    Avocado toast

    Nice little breakfast spot. Friendly staff. Yummy food. I'd definitely visit again when I come back into town.

When I arrived, there weren't many people in line, so ordering was quick and easy. One of the things I loved right away was how the building felt more like a home than a bakery. There was some cute merchandise to browse, and signs throughout the space clearly directed customers where to go to order. Once I made my way to the counter and saw the donut selection for the day, I was beyond excited. Everything looked amazing! I knew I wanted to take some donuts home to share with my chiropractor and her team since she was actually the one who recommended that I visit in the first place. Thankfully, they offered a box of six mini donuts, which was the perfect option for sharing. Of course, I couldn't leave without getting a few full-sized donuts for myself and my husband. After much debate, I chose the Maldon Chocolate, Wild Berry, and Boston Cream. Once everything was packed up and ready to go, I headed outside, but there was no way I was waiting until I got home to try one. The Wild Berry donut was calling my name, so I took a bite right there. It was warm, soft, flaky, and bursting with flavor. The berry filling was delicious, and they definitely didn't skimp on it. Every bite was packed with sweet, fruity goodness. Honestly, that first bite was pure perfection and exactly what I needed before a long drive home. Sharing the donuts with everyone when I got back made the experience even more fun, and they were a huge hit. Overall, this bakery absolutely lived up to the hype, and I can't wait to come back and try even more flavors on my next visit!

    Extremely disappointing presentation. Definitely not worth the money…read more We ordered over the phone and email for our Bachelorette weekend and were promised the airbrushed buttercream photo that we sent in. 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 got myself an almond croissant and then took to my friends 2 churro croissants and 2 plain ones. I ate the almond one in the car... it was okay, but the filling seemed more like a cream/custardy filling vs the traditional milled almond filling. Wasn't bad, just wasn't what I wanted. My friends and I loved the plain and churro croissants. The size is great and they were perfectly fluffy. I even had one left over the following morning and just heated it for a few secs in the microwave (don't judge) and it was still so good. I def want to try a few more of their sweet treats.
