Wonderful location off of riverside drive. Service is always kind & pastries are always stocked ! Coffee is delicious and the food menu is always good. Parking is a little limited if it's busy but there is always a spot nearby. Tons of GF, veggie and vegan options. Some pastries are from other local businesses as well. Love local supporting local. read more

Lovely little coffee spot with solid pastries too! The line was quite long on a Saturday morning, but they move relatively quickly. The selection of breakfast and pastry options is extensive and tempting. They have a ton of god gluten free and vegan options too. I ended up getting a vegan chocolate coconut scone because it looked better than any of the other treats, and it was so perfectly savory and sweet at the same time. The scone itself had a nice doughy saltiness to it that was matched by the sweet chocolate chunks! The lattes were good. I had a whole milk latte and appreciated the care they put into the art. Parking is quite crowded but people are constantly going in and out so you shouldn't have to wait long for a spot to open! read more

Over priced and pretentious almost no coffee flavors or options. Not sure what everyone is talking about.

Looking for a place to grab a light lunch or brecky, Dose, is a good option. Many people also seem to come while working. I wasn't a fan of the matcha. It lacked the matcha flavor, but the coffee here seems to be a must try based off the amount of times I heard it being ordered while eating in. The tomato basil soup and grilled cheese was a nice light option. The soup could stand some salt for flavor, but other than that I was pretty pleased with my option. They have house coffee (drip) that they offer until 1pm. It is NOT complimentary. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

I visited Dose for the first time this morning and placed a simple order for a small hot chocolate to go. Despite the cafe not being particularly busy for a Sunday, my order took approximately 15 minutes. I ultimately had to return to the register to inquire about it and decided to substitute the drink for a muffin instead. The service during this visit did not meet expectations for such a straightforward order. I hope future experiences reflect more timely and attentive service. read more

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 read more

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.... read more

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. read more

Dose Café & Dram Bar - Vanilla Lavender Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

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. read more

Impeccable service, excellent coffee, my favorite place to grab some chai and get to work!!

Incredible coffee, wonderful breakfast and lunch options and good vibes. Dose has everything you want out of a coffee shop and cafe. Services was fast, space is large and food came quickly. They have high chairs and this was the perfect spot to hang with a friends plus a 6 month old for lunch. The street corn quinoa salad was unique and the reason I will go back again. Also, there's parking in this cute little area of East Nashville. read more

Good coffee for Nashville. The coffee in Nashville is pretty disappointing as a whole. But Dose is probably my favorite here. Food is also pretty good read more

I'm a local here. My recommendations include: Barcelona (you HAVE to mix the whip in), vanilla latte (hot), chocolate/coconut scone. You can always park across the street in the gravel lot if not parking. I've only had pleasant experiences with the staff - if they're short it's probably because it's packed read more

I grabbed a few things to go. There was a small line, but that is a good indicator of people loving the place. It moved fairly quickly but each person was given the full attention of the attendant. I got an iced latte and raspberry lemon cheesecake and a salted chocolate cookie. It all was Amazing! read more

Several vegan options on the menu. Great service. Highly recommend. I went with 6 other people and everyone seems to really enjoy their meal. read more

I had lunch nearby and wanted to pick up a coffee before making my way back to work. The coffee shop is adorable and the kind of place you want to spend hours in reading a good book, working or catching up with a friend. There is a dining area with service and an order to go counter. I ordered a giant chocolate chip cookie that looked out of this world in the display case and a matcha latte. The cookie was good not great. I can't pinpoint why it wasn't great but my expectations may have been too high based on how good it looked. And then I wait and waited for my latte. None of the staff would make eye contact with me and my coworker while we waited for our drinks. The staff were clearly prioritizing the orders of customers who were seated. It was very frustrating to the point that I almost asked for my money back so I could leave....it took that long. I would never go back for a to-go coffee but if I had time to sit and enjoy the ambiance I would. My latte was good but the service soured my experience. read more

Dose is located in the cutest Nashville neighborhood worthy of a walk after your coffee or breakfast. Plenty of indoor seating and WiFi are available as well as whole bean coffee, coffee accessories, wine and food gift items. Dose is the perfect union of great coffee and flakey buttery biscuits and a must while sightseeing Nashville's east side. read more

Ordered coffee to go and the wait was pretty long. Probably a good place to sit and eat at if you have time but not if you're in a hurry.

The coffee service was great. We ordered a couple of breakfast burritos and although it took a while to arrive, the food was good. Plenty of room inside. read more

Came for the pour over cause that is what they advertised. The server said they were sold out. I guess he doesn't know we drink pour over at home everyday. So unless they are sold out of fresh ground coffee and hot water (this is a coffeehouse by the way) I don't see how they are sold out. I do see them not wanting to make it cause it's a timely process. But if that's the case, don't advertise it. P.S. it was a Tuesday morning at 10:30. Not busy at Al. read more

Dose Café & Dram Bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Dose is the perfect spot to come to whether you want to work, read, eat, or sip. They have seating for everyone and then some. Their menu is good although I only indulged in a tea this time. They value their customers and by that I mean... the server I had forgot my tea. I assumed as much but was tired and really didn't feel like mentioning it. The place was busy and I've been in that situation too. Needless to say she stopped by and realized what had happened. She brought me my tea and then went off. About an hour later as I was done working and ready to leave I realized no money had been exchanged. I went to the register and one of the other staff members politely said, "It's on her, sorry she forgot!". Even though it was just a tea, that's above and beyond. It proves that the staff values the business and customers alike. I would definitely come back again when I'm in town. read more

I googled places with vegan food on my way through Nashville. I stopped at Dose because I saw they had a vegan breakfast biscuit sandwich. Once I arrived, I saw some other vegan goodies. I grabbed the poppyseed citrus muffin, chocolate coconut scone, and everything cookie. MAN! I was not disappointed by anything! The person that took my order was wonderful...the atmosphere was wonderful...the food was delicious! 5 stars baby! read more

Overall this place is very unwelcoming and over priced. It was $80 for 4 people to get coffees and a bite to eat and I think that's ridiculous for breakfast. The meals didn't even come with sides. We asked a question about cold foam and were rudely told they have "whipped cream". Which is fine but the way they said it was rude. We overall we won't be going back. read more
