Matchless Soda for the win. I go out of my way because they serve a 16oz coffee soda, whereas most places only do 12oz. The people behind the counter have always been friendly, which is great! No snobby baristas here. Oh! And their pop tarts?! Stellar. Go for the blueberry cheesecake or Nutella - you'll be glad you did. :) read more

Needed coffee bad today. Went to Kroger and saw this coffee shop on the way in, so I went in to get a nice cup of coffee. Place was buzzing with activity. Looks like a local hang out for locals working remotely. I got a regular cup of coffee which was hot and tasty. Only reason I didnt give 5 stars is because I thought it was a bit pricey. Nice clean place, sending a pic here soon. read more

High Brow Coffee - Very cool atmosphere! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

In Franklin for only a couple days, and we were sooooo happy to find High Brow! Nestled in a quaint shopping area just a couple minutes from downtown Franklin, it's everything you want your neighborhood coffee shop to be. Amazing pastries, home made (!) pop-tarts, and most importantly....incredible coffee! I had a latte and the shots were pulled to perfection. Along with the exquisitely steamed milk, it made the perfect morning pick me up. The baristas were so kind and the owner even sat down and chatted with us for a bit. He's fantastic! We picked up some beans to take back to Dallas with us and were so sad we couldn't take the whole shop with us. It will be our first stop next time we're in town! Thanks, High Brow! You made us love Franklin even more! read more

Great coffee shop with great coffee and good food! You can even grab a Matchless Coffee Soda from the tap!

This is a great place to stop for coffee and a small pastry. Also, if you love wood pallet walls and mason jars and reading your bible with a shot of espresso then you'll fit in here. The espresso is smooth and it's a nice atmosphere. I got the bourbon caramel latte. read more

Bitter and watered down. The paninis are decent. Service is nice, but takes too long.

I'm not monetarily wealthy by American standards, but I'm willing to pay a little more for a great cup of coffee from a local business, especially if a pleasant, inviting atmosphere is also provided. I always enjoy doing my office work in a comfortable coffee house. If that's what you're looking for, then this place is probably not for you. The layout and seating arrangement is awkward and uncomfortable - there is a giant table in the middle that was full of 2-3 groups of people conducting somewhat loud business type meetings. Then there is a stainless steel bar top and stools all around 3 sides of the square room, that are just too close for comfort. You feel as if you're constantly excusing yourself or bumping into the person next to you, or those behind you even at the huge board meeting table. I'm 5'7" and 185 lbs. I should be able to navigate freely through a room that is only filled to half capacity. So how about the house brew? Decent flavor, and friendly enough customer service. But warm at best. Coffee should be hot. Doesn't have to burn the skin off and cause a lawsuit, but should at least be very warm. This was lukewarm. It's on the business to serve it hot; no one likes to be the person asking them to dump it out and brew you another batch. The place isn't horrible, but not worth trying again for this coffee house lover. read more

High Brow has my favorite coffee in Franklin hands down. On top of that they have some amazing pastries and a friendly staff. 10/10 highly suggest read more

It was love at first sight. This place caught my eye from the car window- Rocking Chairs on the front porch over looking the lake, Mason Jars, a Water bowl out front for Pups, etc. The atmosphere is everything I've ever wanted in a coffee shop. The Baristas were friendly. The Bourbon Caramel Latte was refreshingly not over bearing(sweet) like most coffee shops. It was fantastic. Not to mention the Latte art. You go, High Brow. read more

Parked myself inside High Brow Brew this morning- a quaint little shop with pallet walls & homemade sausage biscuits inside the Westhaven community. It might have taken me a little drive to get here but it is divine. The baristas are passionate about their coffee & they make a great slow pour. read more

Walked in to get coffee, noticed about 10 customers in the small store, all at the counter or around it, none-- not one!-- wearing a mask. Maybe Franklin is just so dang cool it's immune to Covid. Didn't stick around to find out. read more

The best ICED COFFEE and service in the entire magic Kingdom of FrankyTown!! And wow the FOOD -- the Sandwiches - the Ice Cream - the PopTarts -- so so so DELICIOUS!! read more

I was recommended to this coffee shop. It was a ways out there for a drive for coffee. Hands down best vanilla mocha I've ever had. It was amazing! The iced tea was absolutely delicious as well. I wish I could bring back some iced tea back home! Very friendly staff who made my mocha so cute with designs in it. It's definitely worth the drive out there to visit this coffee shop. It also has a cute little area out front for nice days! read more

High Brow Coffee - Vanilla Mocha! It was amazing! Best mocha I've had! I will definitely be back next time I visit Nashville/Franklin. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

High Brow Brew is a cool little coffee shop in the main strip of the Westhaven neighborhood. Although the location is a bit odd (although super convenient for the residents of the neighborhood) I really enjoyed my trip here. I ordered an Americano (my standard when trying new coffee shops) and it was smooth and well-balanced. The barista was very patient and helpful with my friend who does not like coffee or tea (she ended up with an iced chai latte after the Barista kindly gave her a sample). The decor is industrial modern, the standard go-to for newer "hip" places. Despite the hip feel, the entire building was very welcoming. I really liked the communal sitting (one giant table in the middle) as it made the small shop feel a lot more open. I will definitely stop back here on my next visit to Franklin. read more

Me, my wife and son walked into HBB this past weekend and were thoroughly impressed! From the atmosphere to the employees and most importantly the drinks. The staff were extremely helpful and courteous and made some really helpful suggestions. I went with the matchless coffee soda and let me tell you - I haven't stoped thinking about it since. I could drink that coffee soda all day, I highly suggest it. Another cool aspect to the shop is that they carry pied piper ice cream - which if you haven't had any go get some asap, as well as carrying local honey which me and my wife are always in search for. HBB is definitely going to be a must stop for my family when we're in that part of town - I live in Nashville and I'm trying to think of excuses to drive over there as is... read more

Since Honest Coffee was closed, thought I'd rely on my car GPS to take me to a non-Starbucks est and so I ended up at a location I've never been to, contrary to one review I've read, the place was easy to find, parked next to the back entrance and was helped right away by a nice friendly lady. Ordered my mocha and it was just as heavenly in taste as my favorite place to go for my coffee fix. With that said, I will be coming back. read more

High Brow Coffee - Mocha! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

My go to every morning - great service and products. Try the iced bourbon caramel latte, hot mocha with oat milk, or avocado toast. I always miss this place when I'm traveling, it's a challenge to find the perfect latte. read more

Was hoping for a better experience, but I'll give them another try next time I'm in the area because I prefer to support local coffee shops. I really want to like this place. First off, good luck finding the shop. I knew exactly where it was supposed to be based on GPS, but I overlooked the place twice due to poor signage and ended up driving around that same building twice and then wandered further around to a different section of Westhaven before finally seeing a sign for it! I feel the drink menu (coffee and espresso) is a little limited. They do have different food options including baked goods, biscuits, and even ice cream. It was after I had ordered and paid for my mocha that I found the muffins wrapped and stored on a centerpiece server on the middle of the big table where patrons were sitting. So I went back and grabbed one and paid separately. My mocha was on par. The muffin was just not very appetizing. The service was fine, but they didn't go out of their way to smile or make you feel welcomed. Oh yeah, my lid came off my drink twice, but fortunately it did not result in a major spill. I had trouble getting the lid to fit on my cup. They also have tea and coffee by the bag for sale, as well as gifts. The place is beautiful and rustic on the inside. I'm hoping next time I have a chance to stop in that I can upgrade my review. read more

The Yelp site showed avocado toast, but they didn't have it. If your inclined to eat healthy, this isn't the place. Coffee wasn't good either. Just my opinion. read more

This place has one of the best vibes in town! The atmosphere is fantastic and matched with quality and service of coffee that is the best! The coffee soda is . The service is warm and kind. The new ownership of this place clearly knows what their doing! read more

I really hate to leave this updated review, but after visiting 5 times and only having two positive experiences, I am sad to say I will not be returning. Ahhh where to start? It should not take 10 minutes to make a latte when there is not a single other customer in the store. It should not come to you at normal temp if you ask for "extra extra hot". Repeatedly. A Dirty Chai should not taste undrinkably bitter and neither should it come with a nutmeg flavored spice topping (told after the fact that it was the "Chai spice" which was NOT on my first Dirty Chai and which was one of the two good experiences I'd had. Neither should your fresh biscuit sandwich come with an egg that looks like a yellow post-it pad (and probably tastes just as delicious). And finally, if you're going to charge me $11(!!) for a 12oz drink and small muffin, I think you should nail the drink, and your muffins should taste better than just OK. I am from Seattle where lattes are pretty much a daily must have, so you're seriously losing out on a good amount of money from me. I will absolutely travel from my home in Westhaven to Honest Coffee at The Factory every single day to get coffee. They may also charge a small fortune, but at least they do it right EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. read more

Iced coffee is brewed the right way. Not hot coffee poured over ice. Really great coffee and treats. But the other clientele are SNOBS. rich hipsters. I have tried this place several times. It has been really off putting. I'm not sure the store realizes how their customers treat newbies. *****update 11/7 The owner says they are trying change that environment. Sorry your store in WestHaven. Update: 8/2016. No changes from my original post read more

I love the decor and atmosphere; beautiful setting; service is good, though a bit slow. I wouldn't recommend if you're in a hurry, on your way to the office, etc. Its more of a "gaze and chatter" kind of place, mostly affluent folk wasting time, but I must say that for the price, the actual product is disappointing. They recently changed to go cups to what is obviously a cheaper type; and I've had more than a few leakers (but it's supposed to be ok cause they're "made of recycled material") Twice I've used the creamer only to get a mile down the road and realize it was spoiled and made my whole coffee sour. I really only go for coffee, but I got a breakfast item once and was disappointed, as it was overpriced for what you get. Dial it up guys; just because it's in westhaven doesn't mean you can get away with it. read more

We had a breakfast biscuit sandwich and quiche. Both were microwaved. We had high hopes when we looked at the menu, but were disappointed with the quality. read more

LOVE High Brow! Unintentionally became a coffee snob within my ten years of living in TN and without a doubt High Brow is in my top 3! I live closer to Downtown Nashville but anytime I can make it out to High Brow.. I go! Super friendly staff, chill vibes and such GREAT coffee, of course! They take pride in their coffee you can tell! Very intentional about what they do. Love them! read more

My husband and I had the bacon and egg biscuits and they were delicious! The restaurant was slammed that day, but did a great job of delivering hot and tasty food. read more

High Brow has been my go to handcrafted coffee shop since it opened years ago. The baristas are all well educated in crafting quality coffee drinks, are friendly, and seem to really want to be doing what they do. I also love that I can get well roasted beans that are fresh and not over-dated. I highly recommend them! read more

Delicious espresso and an amazing cortado, when trying a new place that's my usual test combo. You can tell the baristas are well trained and they care about what they serve. House roasted coffees and house made pastries. What I tried I loved and I will be back again. The space is beautiful and lends towards community. What?! You want to meet people at a coffee shop?! No! Thanks for creating a space that is warm and well thought out and well used. And for serving amazing coffee and treats. read more

We LOVE High Brow....the staff....and the people that frequent it. GREAT coffee and the quiche is AMAZING! We can sit and relax and in warm weather we sit outside on the rocking chairs and ENJOY THE VIEW OF THE LAKE and people with their kids and dogs.

Excellent coffee, ultra friendly baristas. Quaint decor and quiet atmosphere. Egg pies are delicious. Quite flavorful. They need better signage, as we knew it was here but the sign was totally missable. Beautiful carved wood, but... Almost unreadable. How about a small, subtle lighted or LED coffee cup in the window? read more

This place is usually my go to. Great coffee & amazing granola. BUT. I walked in and 2 out of 3 employees were behind the bar maskless. The gal who took my order put hers up when she spoke to me but the other gal proceeded to make drinks, speak to people across the cafe, and work maskless. People like this is why tennessee has the highest rates of covid in the WORLD. (Yes the world, look it up.) I don't care if you are a conservative or a liberal, whatever, this virus is real and we need to all be good neighbors and friends to each other by protecting each other in any and all ways we can!! Especially if you are serving the community like this shop is. I wanted to ask her to put the mask up while she was making my drink, but i was genuinely so shocked and angry at the sheer disregard and disrespect for my as well as her coworkers health and safety. Get a clue. It's hard to breathe while working with a mask? Well it's a whole damn lot easier than trying to breathe on a ventilator. Also I'm pretty sure they did regular milk instead of almond but that's the least of my worries right now. read more

I've been here several times hoping to see improvement in the employee mask wearing, but there hasn't been any. The coffee and food is decent, but the employees are not good about wearing masks and their customer service is severely lacking especially considering how expensive the menu is. There is only one barista who I've had a pleasant experience with and unfortunately I don't know his name, but he wears clear glasses. Overall- I only go because it's in the neighborhood so it's convenient. It's overpriced and in general the employees are rude and aren't concerned with timeliness or health precautions. read more
