Best choice for coffee in Westhaven for sure. Good service, they are always busy and moving about. Good coffee choices, try the rolled coconut balls, handmade and awesome. read more

Made a trip to HighBrow on Valentine's day. Located on Westhaven's Main Street it is normally busy and seating is limited. We found a table. They are close together so don't plan on discussing any personal matters or any clandestine adventures! Service is not fast but the baristas are busy doing what they do and the coffee is good. I ended up choosing a Hot Chocolate and it was very tasty. Love the "heart" they added to the top in honor of the day! read more

Very slow service! I was the only one in there and there was no sense of urgency on getting my latte ready. The latte was very good, however, I think next time I am going to go somewhere quicker if I need coffee on the go. read more

Super cute coffee shop in Franklin! We went on a weekday and the line was out the door so be prepared to wait a little. It was definitely worth the wait! We had a pumpkin spice latte and an americano. read more

I really REALLY want to love this place! I know that lots of people do! Personally, I have never thought my drink was amazing. The pumpkin (seasonal) was undrinkable and I tossed it out. Food is overpriced but that's to be expected in this location. I do really like the vibe and the baristas are always friendly! I have been half a dozen times which is enough to realize I just don't care for this place. read more

We stopped in Westhaven to try High Brow Coffee while on our way to Timberland Park for a hike. I really loved the aesthetic, enjoyed listening to Etta James being played. It was pretty busy, but moved quickly. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for a relatively small cafe. Ordered two iced Caramel Bourbon Oat Lattes - I didn't notice the flavor so asked for more syrup and while it was still very subtle, it was there. I think the milk overpowered the espresso, not sure if the roast is strong enough for me or if the syrup was rich/decadent enough to notice. I'd likely try another of their signature lattes if/when we return. read more

Love this spot. Fresh, clean, bright, airy. Their staff is so kind. I ordered a strawberry shortcake matcha (current summer fave) and it was wonderful. My husband (who is a former barista) loves that they carry Kalita filters and other helpful coffee supplies. I also want to shout out their pastry and cookie selection - how adorable are the branded High Brow sugar cookies? The donuts are also locally made and so yummy. read more

Today I really enjoyed the Franklin Fog hot tea. It was amazing! The raspberry Earl Gray scone was delicious, too. My only disappointment was when I went to pay I learned that my $2 High Brow Cash star reward had expired! This wasn't the first time that had happened. On March 18 I had gotten a text that my "$2 Reward" would expire "soon". "Soon" is the key word as that notice came two weeks ago and expired April 1! The problem is it never told me when it would expire. It just leaves you hanging! Wouldn't that be nice to know? The two girls behind the counter said they don't know how it works either- really! It's easy to spend the money but getting the reward is another thing! If anyone knows how that works, could you let me know or I guess I will have to write the Cash App people as well. It shouldn't be that big of a mystery! Help! read more

Wow! I was greeted with a smile and acknowledged with 'hello' from the pretty lady, Selah, at the coffee bar. Seeing that I had not such a great experience at the coffee spot down the street, this is what I look for when I choose to do business. I believe in stimulating local economy and where I spend my money matters. They were kind from a very beginning and Max, a fine gentleman, answered all of my questions about the menu. I ordered the quiche-fantastic!!!!! Absolutely delicious espresso and you get a complimentary cup of java when you purchase a bag of their coffee! The ambiance was chill yet upbeat, very clean and very nice dunnerware!! I look forward to making this my Cafe of choice! High Brow, High WOW! read more

Stopped by on a Saturday morning before the eventual rush that overwhelmed their inside space. Folks were patient and understanding. That meant I had to sit outside in the rather cool weather, but at least the view was nice. The breakfast panini with egg and cheese was filling and just what I needed. Crispy sourdough exterior was wonderful! The bourbon caramel latte with oat milk was subtle but a bit on the warmer rather than the hot side. Not too sugary either. Nicely done. read more

Coffees were lukewarm, not piping hot b/c I guess they are premade and kept in a thermos dispenser. Portions were small for both coffee and sandwiches. But the sandwiches were tasty. The hot sauce selection was great! Good place for a quick bite. read more

Service needs improvement. Staff could be more friendly. Food is very dry and below average. Latte was great!

Not too far from Arrington in Westhaven, is the High Brow Coffee shop which is clearly a favorite of the locals. Here I ate bar none the BEST breakfast sandwich this old guy has ever had. It was sausage, cheese & egg on a buttermilk biscuit which had to be hand made in heaven, probably by my Grandma. So wonderfully heavy, this moist and dense biscuit of culinary yumminess (yes, that's a word?) with egg and sausage peacefully sleeping inside awaiting your first bite. Paired with a house coffee, this breakfast sandwich filled the void of hunger decisively. So good I wanted another, so filling I simply couldn't eat one more. So, will we be back? A resounding YES!! read more

Coffee was excellent, but service was terrible. I walked in and stood in what I thought was the line, while making eye contact with all three employees. I then noticed nobody ordering or getting their drinks so I stepped to other side, noticing the register was blocked to my view. When i went to restroom and came out I ask employee if the drink on the counter was mine, she rudely said i dont know. I then looked as other employee, who took my order, to say "I think." Mind you no one else was ordering drinks and or in line. Will not be giving my business here. read more

Actually, we had a great experience and the only reason I'm giving them 3 stars is for the benefit of others. Coffee was very good, staff very friendly, and I had a nice mini-quiche. And, we arrived a little after 8:00 and there was no waiting plus 2 of the 4 tables was vacant. However, around 9 AM is when things heat up. I counted 20 - no exaggeration - people standing along the walls waiting for their coffee. Other reviews have mentioned this. So - unless you like crowds and long waits, arrive early!!! read more

Stood there waiting while the employees milled around doing anything but their job. After five minutes I walked out, pretty sure the person behind me did the same. That's the last time I bother even trying with this place. read more

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this cafe and the area surrounding it! West Haven is a beautiful, new, up and coming area that has so much going for it and plenty of free parking to handle it all. It's a little off the beaten path but definitely worth the short drive if you're in Franklin or even Nashville and want to get away from the crowds. High Brow is an aesthetically pleasing cafe with fresh gelato, loose leaf teas by Little Dickens, pastries, and coffee options. There's an espresso bar with tons of milk substitute options (including oat milk), Matchless coffee soda on tap, and house, black coffee. In my multiple visits I had an espresso, affogato, and oat milk latte - all spectacular! I cannot remember the brand off the top of my head but their espresso is perfect, very rich, not too acidic or fruity, and combines well with other flavors. The affogato was the best I've ever had! This is a great spot to work for those who are remote like myself. The cafe has indoor bar and table seating + outdoor tables and a couple rocking chairs. Their wifi is fast and never gave out on me. They have a water jug to keep you hydrated and parking is not timed so you can zone in without a worry of tickets or tows. There's also a couple restaurants and to-go food options in walking distance in case you get hungry and need a quick pick me up. The decor here is very modern but not pretentious. It's the perfect coffee shop environment with a clean sleek, hip look where all can still feel welcome. They have really cute merch too! I wanted it all but ended up getting a couple stickers and an adorable mug i use all the time! Check it out, grab some espresso and go for a walk around the pond out front. It's such beautiful scenery and the perfect casual stroll for those not looking to sweat out a ton but get some exercise in nature while enjoying delicious espresso. read more

This was a really good find! The coffee was excellent, and the service was very good and friendly. They're right on the corner in Westhaven, with tables both inside and out, so it is a good spot to hang out if you're in the neighborhood (or passing by). They don't have a huge food menu, but there are options that are good for breakfast or lunch. I had the ham and Swiss panini and it was very tasty. The sourdough bread in particular was excellent. They clearly use good ingredients, so while the food is mostly pretty simple, it is good. This is definitely a great go-to coffee spot if you find yourself near Westhaven. read more

Great friendly service, great coffee, great location & atmosphere to sit and do some work or enjoy comvos w/ friends. Take in the pond views from their "porch" & enjoy the Tennessee sky. read more

High Brow Coffee - Ridin' high w/ my High Brow latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Let me update this review... I gave them a bad review on Covid safety protocols.. but let's face it TN in general just didn't care! This is about their online ordering. Their coffee is good - almost always. I really loved the pony express so we got that a lot. They need to actually prioritize online ordering. We've waited so long for online orders - almost every single time. One time, they even made drinks for the person who just had come in and my drink was in queue but they prioritized the person who came in instead of the online order. There's also been so many times where they only start making the online order after we come in.... Please make those online orders as it comes in and prioritize them... read more

Coffee was nothing special. The homemade pop tarts are awesome and that's the only reason I'll come back. Staff was meh

Coffee is an Art :: a Craft:: Something to be Enjoyed while making your way through Life! The Perfect Cup can make the Biggest Impression on your day with the simplicity of making you Feel Goood! Located in the Westhaven Community of Franklin this is the Ideal Spot to Enjoy ones Cup of Joe! Their Outdoor Patio is Relaxing and Scenic. Stepping Inside the Atmosphere changes to a Masculine Calming Vibe with Dark Woods and Modern Decor. Order at the Counter when you are ready. They Offer Coffee's- Tea's- Pastries/Baked Good- Granola- Small Plates- Biscuit & Panini Sandwiches- along with Ice Cream! Have your heard of Coffee Soda?? I had not and was very intrigued by the Keg of advertised Matchless Coffee Soda! The Staff is Super Welcoming and Knowledgeable! They offered to let us Sample the Eye Catching Coffee Soda and it was excellent! Very different than what I expected the taste to be with a Perfect Balance! Make sure to request a Sample! Being that it was quite nippy Outside we ordered Hot Coffee's. I prefer my Coffee Black & Bold so I requested the Brazil- Parana! It was perfect with an Intense Pure Flavor of Prime Coffee Beans! I also got to try their Bulleit Bourbon Caramel Coffee. It was Full of Flavor, had that Smooth Aroma, and was not too sweet! Flawless! read more

Really great coffee, super sweet employees and their avocado toast is AMAZING! I ordered 2 coffees and some avocado toast, the line was pretty long but we didn't mind waiting. After about 15 min I still didn't have my toast, and an employee asked if I was missing anything and I told her... she proceeded to apologize (we were in no rush, just enjoying the coffee, it wasn't a huge deal) but then when she brought me the toast she was sweet enough to compensate and gave us a free drink coupon for next time we go due to them misplacing the order. I was so caught off guard and so grateful for their generosity! They were so amazing we will definitely be going back! read more

I ordered a black tea (iced). They didn't seem to want to serve it to me; instead, the staff was busy playing around. After 5 or so minutes, I asked if I could get my tea. The manager said sure we'll get it right out. Then he went back to playing around with another employee. I gave up and walked out and will never return. The tea is already made as I asked before ordering, so all they had to do was pour it. They poured coffee for a guy that ordered after me, not sure what the problem was here. read more

Wow this place is an a$$hole magnet- they have some of the rudest customers I've ever seen. From the entitled adults who block the patio with their bicycles to the entitled teenagers who cut the line to the customers who are condescending to the employees I can't help but feel sorry for the people who work here. I've been a Highbrow customer for almost 2 years and the staff is always friendly and helpful and they have some of the best pastries in the area. In fact I'd rather get my pastries from here than Triple Crown Bakery in downtown Franklin. read more

Love the coffee variety they offer. Each roast is unique. I gravitate towards medium roast and the acacia blend hits the spot. I tasted their coffee while visiting and loved the fresh taste and could taste the roast how it was described on the packaging. I now purchase from out of state and they send the order almost immediately and the same quality and freshness. I have since branched out to other flavors and have not been disappointed. read more

One of the best coffee spots in Franklin. A must-visit and stay. Fabulous coffee, friendly service, and great ambiance on Westhaven's front street. read more

Adorable local coffee shop in the planned community of Westhaven. The design is rustic walls with cool industrial lights and open shelving. They sell local products like honey, gelato, and Ellie's old fashioned donuts. The ice coffee was really good and I liked the almond milk (although not made in house). I got a muffin to snack on but I miss the homemade organic banana bread the previous owners used to sell. The service was okay but not really welcoming or about having an "experience". I recommend sitting out front by the pond - cute rocking chairs...there was construction of stone entrance ways for Westhaven so it was too loud & dirty to enjoy the outside seating. They do offer bistro seating in the back entrance but it is a parking lot view and makes it difficult for wheelchairs to navigate. This is a great place for a quick coffee or relaxing spot but I wish they would offer organic coffee. Forced to skip the outdoor seating because employees of the Chinese Restaurant next door took their smoke break Non smoking area is a must! read more

My parents are moving to Wesr Haven and man am I excited to have a great, local place to grab coffee near them! They seemed a bit busy with online order but assured me that they would be with me soon. The service was so efficient, kind, and made for a nice experience. My medium oat milk latte came out in a very timely matter. It was delicious too! The combined cool aesthetics, quality coffee, and kind service is definitely going to have be coming back! read more

Love their sausage biscuits! Always a weekend treat!! Plus, add the coffee to make a perfect little meal.

$7.00 for a large oat milk latte that you have to wait 20 minutes in line for and another 15 to be served doesnt fly. Fail.

Visited High Brow Coffee & Tea today with my husband to try their coffee. The location was clean and trendy on the outside and inside. I was impressed with the amount of coffee they had for sale to take home. My husband got a cup of regular coffee and I got a cold brew. The coffee was fantastic! The reason for my two stars is the customer service. There were both a female and a male working and neither seemed to want to explain the signature drinks to us and did not seem to care what we wanted to order. They were not helpful and acted like we should just know what to get when we had never been there before. I would go back here for another visit and try it again merely for the coffee and the atmosphere. The customer experience definitely needs work! read more

I did a online order and having it be my first time I now know i need to order earlier. This place gets busy. With only 4 people on board they were killing it. (Disclaimer I ordered 4 items in total) I had the avocado toast and it was one sour dough bread cut in half with egg on top. It was yummy. I would order again. To drink I had a creamy beige. Taste was delicious. Not sure if this drink takes long to make. I waited longer for my drink(s) than I did for my food. In total wait for my 4 items to be in my hand from when my order was placed and received was 40 minutes. Thank you for wearing masks and providing great service during this time. read more

Most rustic- chic aesthetic coffee house near Nashville. It's a bit of a drive, 30ish minutes outside the city. But the cuteness of the shop and the ambience put you in a mood. It's very instagram worthy with the dark modern decor, Edison bulbs, and the cute mason jars that hold loose leaf teas and mixes. I ordered a chai latte, and it was very smooth. Not overly sweet! It's a very good take on the Americanized chai flavor, and it was good for the fall day that my friend and I enjoyed catching up. It's not too loud, and I didn't notice music levels. The baristas were very friendly, personable, and really made it the local coffee shop vibe I think every shop aspires to be. We took a walk around the shops early, and they are very cute gift/ novelty shops! Would recommend as a nice cozy place. And apparently if you check in with yelp for the first time, you get 10% off a drip coffee! read more

Great place to stop for a quick coffee. They offer a variety of unique coffee drinks and the staff is very friendly.

Excellent coffee and hipster atmosphere at this local coffee joint in the neighborhood of Westhaven. The price skews a tad high, and there are no prices listed on the menu board, so just be aware. The LATTE I ordered was great, especially after adding a bit of the raw sugar they have in a bottle. The AMERICANO my husband got tasted a bit burnt, but was still good. Overall a great place to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee and a conversation if you're in the area. read more
