    Oof. A swing and a miss, guys. I hope that I experienced Leaf 'n Brew on an off day. We all have 'em. It happens. This business has been up and running for over a year. It goes to show how much SoBro is growing that it completely escaped my radar. The building seems to get a lot of foot traffic from construction workers and nearby office goers. I have to imagine that as more businesses populate the area, more options like LnB will pop up. This is a good thing. The small food court offers the usual grab and go choices that suit the area. I came here to meet with a friend/business associate of mine and thought I made the perfect choice for a quick, casual, convenient-location spot. With a gluten-sensitive gut, grab and go can be a bit of a hurdle. Sandwiches, wraps and burritos are usually out of the question. Knowing this, I did my research and decided on a strawberry salad. Gluten-free and perfect for summer, right? Unfortunately, LnB was out of strawberries... so no salad. I mean, I could have ordered it but what's the point without the star ingredient? Undeterred, I asked what make-your-own salad options I had to work with. Unfortunately, many of them were unavailable. A bit embarrassed (I'd picked this spot and had my friend come from The Gulch and meet me), I thought I'd have a liquid lunch and order a smoothie. Again, not all of the ingredients were in house. C'mon, guys. I get it. Stuff happens. But, work with me here. Three strikes and I was out. I settled upon an omelet and bottled tea. I asked for the omelet without the special seasoning, as I couldn't confirm what was in said seasoning. What I received was not an omelet. I received a mess of eggs, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and onion. It wasn't folded. It wasn't scrambled. Honestly, I'd never seen eggs like this. It was pretty unappealing. How can you mess up eggs? Oy. And when I was handed the (metal) platter for said eggs, it was screaming hot and I burned my hand. No warning given. I'm guessing this was a perfect storm of mishaps but... yeah. Not the best experience. I'll post a photo of the eggs. Maybe someone else can identify the preparation?

    Great location in downtown Nashville, located in a cafeteria/food hall type establishment. Perfect place for a quick bite, I came here after flying in from Dallas and needed something quick to eat. Only complaint is that they did not have water available from their soda fountain and we had to ask another restaurant, and it was very warm water.

    This place is inside a food court, which is neither a plus or minus, it gives you options. I came for coffee, but My cappuccino was a huge let down. I would say it wasn't even espresso, or it was just a little coffee topped up with scalding hot water. No foam, and not very milky. Food was better. Steak wrap was tasty, egg tacos were solid.

    Chicken biscuit
    Kristen Z.

    Pathetic excuse for a breakfast place. Menu says fresh bagels and pastries but the pastry case is completely empty. Ordered a "famous chicken biscuit" and it is a frozen chicken patty on a crappy biscuit. Breakfast potatoes have no seasoning and had to ask for silverware. Please do not go to this place. McDonald's serves a better breakfast for way cheaper.

    This is supposed to be an omelette.

    We ordered to go. The omelette came as overcooked scrambled eggs. The other breakfast sandwich was soggy. The latte and coffee was good. I wouldn't order there again.

The East Nasty was pretty good overall, the fried chicken and gravy were flavorful and comforting, but the biscuit underneath was a little underwhelming. BUT oh boy the B-Roll... omg WOW. I've genuinely never had anything like them before. My husband called them "cinnabon on steroids" The pastry was light, warm, airy, and perfectly soft. Then the gooey pecan topping was sooo good, and the cream cheese icing on the side tied everything together perfectly. Absolute chef's kiss. Honestly, order this when you come here.

    I've been wanting to try this place for ages, but it always seemed packed. Well, today (Memorial…read moreDay) was no different. I tried to swing by around ten minutes to noon, but it was a disaster. There were heaps of people waiting outside, and it didn't look promising. I went to the hostess stand and asked the guy if I could get a table for one, and he said, "Oh, you can sit at the bar; it's open seating. There's one open seat right there!" So, I walked through and was approached by another worker who asked me what I was doing. I told her the guy said I could sit at the bar, and there was an open seat, even though I never saw one. I did see open seats outside at the bar, though. The bar has two sides, one outside and one inside. It seemed alright; it wasn't too hot or humid, so I went. There were dirty dishes all over the place, and I sat down. Another worker asked me, "Are these dishes yours?" Which seemed a bit strange because the guy works the bar and wouldn't he have known the person sitting there before me left them? Anyway, I said no, and he cleared them. I then waited about 5 minutes before another worker skillfully wiped the bar of debris and then got three menus and three sets of silverware (two more guys sat down next to me) and asked me if I wanted water. I said, "Yes, please." She went off, and then shortly after, I saw the same guy come with a menu and a set of silverware and a water. Thumbs up for the water but thumb down for the slowness. I saw the menu and was torn between pancakes and biscuits. I didn't really want anything heavy, so I got the biscuits and gravy but added an egg. I also got a coffee. The wait time for the food was super quick, and the food was really good. The biscuits are small, and they're okay. The egg was good, but it's kinda hard to mess up an egg. I saw the food the people sitting next to me got, and it looked amazing! Pancakes, etc. Overall, the service was pretty bad, but the food was good. I saw no sense of urgency in the workers when they were obviously swamped. I might come when it's not so busy next time. Side note, maybe I'm showing my age, but the price of regular drip coffee was a bit steep. ($4).

I'll start off by saying I'm not the biggest fan of pancakes, nor cinnamon and have to be in the mood for both. Today happened to be the day. I tried their pancake sampler, with cinnamon, Caribbean and banana bread pancakes. They were all good, fluffy, airy and flavorful. Banana bread with their maple syrup, Caribbean with cinnamon. But, their cinnamon pancakes were amazing!! Those were definitely the winner!!! Best pancakes I've ever had. Their three pig omelette was pretty bomb as well. I got some of their sausage gravy on the side, to douse the omelette and that was definitely the move there. I think this is the first time I didn't need to use cholula for flavoring. The location is centralized, set up nicely, with huge open indoor space with plenty of seating outside. The service was great as well. Attentive and fast. All in all, I wish I had the time to come here yesterday, so I could try something different today. But, I took the place for everything it had and it definitely delivered. Highly recommend and I will be back, when I'm in the area for sure!

And honestly? It completely lived up to the hype. When we got there, there was already a line outside, which honestly made us nervous at first, but the staff was super organized and the line moved surprisingly fast. We were seated in less than 10 minutes even though the place was packed. And this was around 11 AM on a Tuesday, so I can only imagine how busy weekends get. The service here was honestly the highlight of the whole experience. Our waitress was SO friendly, funny, and genuinely welcoming. One of those people who instantly makes you feel comfortable and taken care of. You can tell the staff here knows how to handle a busy restaurant while still making customers feel special. I ordered the veggie omelette with blueberry pancakes, and my boyfriend got the Three Little Pigs omelette with a banana pancake. We also ordered coffee to go with everything and wow... such a comforting, satisfying breakfast. The blueberry pancakes were fluffy, buttery, and filled with sweet blueberries in every bite, while the banana pancake had that perfect caramelized banana flavor that tasted homemade in the best way possible. And PLEASE do yourself a favor and try the cinnamon syrup with the pancakes. It was insanely good and honestly took the pancakes to another level. Sweet, warm, buttery, with the perfect cinnamon flavor... I could probably drink that syrup by itself. What impressed me most is that despite how full the restaurant was, our food came out in less than 20 minutes. Everything felt efficient without ever feeling rushed. This is one of those places where yes, the food is really good, but what truly makes you want to come back is the service and atmosphere. Overall I loved the entire experience, and the next time I come back to Nashville, I already know I'll be returning here.
