Great spot to grab a coffee before strolling around downtown Franklin, especially during the Christmas season when you're checking out all the boutiques and decorations. I, as always, ordered a cappuccino with almond milk, and my dad's wife got a mocha, both were really good. They also have plenty of food options, so that's definitely on my list for next time. Perfect little stop to kick off a walk around town. read more

Unfortunately, I can't rate the food because even after almost an hour of waiting, we never got to try it. However, I can rate the customer service, or rather, the complete lack of it. The waitress who was serving our family never once came over to update us or apologize for the delay. We had to keep getting up ourselves to ask about the status of our order. After being told we only had to wait another two to five minutes, we ended up waiting over ten more minutes with no explanation at all. In the end, we simply left hungry after such a long wait. What upset us the most was the fact that people who arrived after us were already receiving their food! Is it just your personal preference who gets served first? Do you not understand what a queue is, and that in normal restaurants the people who order first receive their food first? This experience was absolutely terrible and embarrassing read more

Great coffee and excellent location! I do find it weird that you have to be served at a coffee shop from your table, but the service was good. read more

Three words: Iced Hummingbird Latte (Banana, Pecan, and Cinnamon -- yum). I got mine with oat milk. Jason, a manager at the Franklin location, told me they recently tried to take it off the menu and there was a near insurrection by customers. One taste and I knew why! read more

Barista was really nice but it was a weird vibe in there. This place is way overhyped it's not the cleanest inside but the hummingbird was good sweet so if you like I would get half the sugar read more

Such a cute coffee shop and cafe. This location had a spot where you could sit down and someone would come and take your order. If you wanted to do take out like me, you ordered at the counter and your drink came out at the pick up station. The menu had a great variety of different food and drink options. I decided to try their matcha latte and was impressed. It was on the more expensive side drink wise but it tasted delicious. Highly recommend if you are looking for a coffee shop in Franklin! read more

Overall: Ordered the matcha w/ banana syrup and almond milk -- solid! :) Wish it came with a little less ice (like most coffee places though). Pricing was about standard, on the higher side to get add ons (syrup, milk alternative). Service: Quick and friendly, my to-go drink came out almost immediately after I ordered. Ambience: Cute and very homey, can get a little cramped inside when ordering, but otherwise very cozy spot. read more

Stopped in here really quick on our way out of town. I used to run a very popular cafe in our home city and our family has owned cafes and diners, so we know good coffee. Whilst the inside is very appealing to the eye, unfortunately the actual coffee left much to be desired. We ordered two iced drinks and unfortunately they just did not taste the best and the coffee itself tasted very watered down. I can't state if their hot drinks are better, but we wouldn't be back for any iced drinks. I also wish that the iced option could have different sizes but it seems like the iced versions only come in one size and most of the cup is filled with ice. The staff was very polite though. Definitely more of a Williamsburg hipster vibe to the entire place but it's fine. If the staff wasn't as nice, I probably would have rated this place 2-3 stars. read more

Worth the wait! We absolutely loved the frothy monkey! From their delicious lattes, to their diverse menu this hidden gem should be on your "must try" list! The vibes are incredible with inside and outside seating with a BOHO theme. The staff are all super sweet and helpful! Our server today was Neely and we loved her personality & she was a wonderful waitress. 10/10 recommend ! We will definitely come back our next trip! read more

Cute cafe that we stopped at after leaving Franklin TN. My friend and I got the seasonal latte called the Hummingbird latte with banana, cinnamon, and house made pecan and it did not disappoint! Service was very good. They have some baked goods that looked awesome but we didn't get anything to eat. They also serve beer, wines, sandwiches, greens and grains, and have merchandise for sale. read more

While visiting Franklin, my daughter chose Frothy Monkey for Sunday brunch. She said one her friends loves to eat here. It was busy, but we were lucky to have been seated right away at a nice table upstairs by a sunny window. My daughter ordered the Vanilla Cinnamon French Toast with the peaches on the side. I chose the Shrimp & Grits. Both were prepared well and quite good. The space is clean and bright. We enjoyed the home like atmosphere and cute decor. Service was friendly and not rushed. Definitely a place we'll come back to! read more

We were looking for somewhere with great food and drinks in a bustling downtown Franklin on a holiday Saturday morning. Frothy Monkey and its two floors had ample seating for a busy area and we were so glad to not have to wait but still have AMAZING food and coffee. Our server was very kind and pleasant and the food came quickly. Will be back! Frothy Monkey is said to be a Nashville classic for a reason. read more

I'm disappointed in the changes Frothy Monkey has made to their menu and their protocols. When arriving for a cup of coffee, one must be seated and have table service. When we tried to just get a go cup of coffee, we were told this was not allowed so we left. Many months later I returned to have coffee with a friend, of course I knew we would be having table service, what I didn't know when I ordered coffee with cream was that they charge $3 for cream while places a stones throw away charge 50 cents. read more

This has been a tricky review for me to write. I've been to this Frothy location more than a few times and inconsistency seems to reign supreme here. Some experiences have been 5 stars: So good, that for the days following my visit I'll subconsciously work Frothy Monkey into every conversation. Other times, I am given whiplash by poor customer service, dragging wait-times (flat whites don't take 20 minutes) and food that seemingly hasn't been warm since my previous 5-star visit. When it's good, its REALLY good, but when it's bad, I hang my head and contemplate where else I could've/should've/would've dined intead. Don't make me do that anymore, Frothy Monkey! I like it so much better when I get to sing your praises. Nonetheless, 4 stars, because I will be back (and you should try it, too.) read more

This has been a good breakfast place to go over the years with healthier options than other places, and of course good coffee. It has held up to me to newer brunch places cause of this, and try to come back when I'm in town. I got a flat white drink and the BE Hive Bowl. It was my friend's first time and he got some type of coffee drink and food, forget what. A hostess seated us at our table and had a waiter, which is fancier than when I've been previously. Was the same good atmosphere and with a good waiter. read more

Great coffee! I love that the coffee shop is in an old house. It kept the charm of the area. The coffee is always fresh I also buy their whole beans. Check out their coffee roasting classes in nashville! read more

We were recommended to go to this place and it left a lot to be desired. We have 3 kids and our server didn't mention substituting side items for kids meals was a $4-6 up charge. We had to ask for condiments many times, we had no silverware when we got our food and the service was awful. The Caesar salad isn't normal (it has quinoa mixed in with kale as the lettuce - I believe). However, I did enjoy it. The turkey melt on sourdough was tough to eat and not very big. The side of chips is pretty tasteless. The tomato basil soup was the best. They kids got hamburgers but it came plain and they don't have mustard. Just all around an odd place and I don't think it's work $65. I didn't like the dark atmosphere either. It felt very dreary. I would not recommend. read more

Matcha was not very good and way too sweet. They didn't know what ceremonial grade meant lol read more

Still a big fan of the Frothy Monkey! Our most recent visit was for the Wine Pairings dinner. What? you ask.... If you don't know, you must not be on the mailing list. It's an amazing event, 5 course meal with chef specialties and wine selected for each course. Always a great evening and a chance to enjoy some unusual dishes as well as some new wines. Held in the upstairs it is one of our favorite evenings out. Before each course, you hear about the wine you are drinking and the chef comes up to discuss the food in the next course. read more

There was definitely some monkeying around today with the plating of my Banana Overnight Oats. Looked like a kindergartner was made at the plate and tossed whatever they found from their homeschool meal. Taste 2/5 On the flip side. It was pure gold with the "Golden Monkey". The rich and frothy turmeric milk, exemplified with the notes of honey and warm cinnamon, intertwining with a delightful shot of divine espresso. This alone was worth the drive from The Boro. Taste 5/5 Service was good. The ambiance is alive and can be distracting if you're looking for a place to study, or work. I'd say it's more of a cafe over a coffee shop. Would I visit again? Coffee: Yes. Food: Nope. read more

Service is horrible, have given them more than 5 chances. Won't be back. Waiting hours, food wrong, and no one seems to care.

FM is my favorite coffee shop and go-to place for a bite. Nice, relaxing atmosphere with excellent coffee and food, and customer service!

This is such a cute spot! The home made syrups really put the icing on top of the cake. These crafted coffees are worth the wait! It was a little bust though so that was expected. I think next time I'll have to grab a syrup. read more

Frothy Monkey - Signage - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

I'm really sad to say that this place had really gone downhill. I used to go to Frothy at least once a week back in 2017 and it doesn't compare to what it was back in the day. Shots are pulled too long and very inconsistent. Service is also pretty terrible. Since 2020, you have to be seated to order coffee (unless it's to go). I waited about 5+ min today and all 6 people behind the bar totally ignored my family. So I approached the register to order coffee, and everyone seemed shocked that I approached them to order..? There's just so much more that's happened but ultimately, terrible service from being sat, to ordering, to paying for our drinks. I really tried to approach this place with a great attitude and kept saying "oh it's just a one off! They're great, I promise!" But ever experience this past month has been disappointing. I've been hearing from a lot of people to not go to Frothy anymore, and I think today we finally decided to stop. I'm willing to drive 20+ min ti a good coffee shop rather than 5 minutes for terrible coffee and service. read more

Came here with my girlfriend and her brother for breakfast, I got the garden omelette and they both got the chorizo biscuits and gravy. My omelette had good flavor but was cold when it came out, the sourdough on the side was decent. They both gave the biscuits and gravy a 6/10 and is very untraditional to your typical biscuits and gravy (more of a cheese sauce then a gravy). Over all the star of the show was my girlfriend's latte 10/10. We would come back but only for coffee. read more
