I ordered the Cappuccino as I wanted to see how this establishment executed one of my favorite drinks. I waited a few minutes for the friendly barista to prepare my order. It was well worth it! The drink was smooth, not too hot, and offered a nutty flavor that drew me in. In fact, I consumed the entire masterpiece on my 3 minute walk back to my Airbnb. If you go, expect to order from an outdoor window. It is very popular, and I am not sure about parking. I saw one outside table that was mostly shaded in the morning light. There may be inside seating? I was in a hurry and did not notice. When you are in the Edgehill area of Nashville, you simply must visit Osa.

Owned by Lesa Wood and Jack Egan, this is the satellite location of the coffee house that roasts…read morebeans in house and serves some up some seriously incredible creations. Order at the counter, sit down in a plant filled room, maybe read a book. It's the kind of place that has a very East Nashville vibe, with a building that appears to have been a former auto repair shop or something of similar nature. It's unpretentious, it's beautiful in its industrial revival way, it's a great place to meet a stranger. The space is very dog friendly and designed to be a place of pleasure, as opposed to a laptop environment. All and all, it just hits the spot incredibly well.

The menus are filled with great options from your classics of avocado toast and waffles, to special plates like shakshouka and ramen, along with dishes with a little more umph like burgers, banh mi's, burritos and much more! When in East Nashville, I usually make an effort to swing by for an iced coffee at minimum, but have been known to grab biscuits and gravy from time to time...never a bad decision either. The space is good sized, features an open dining area with a small bar all surrounded by floor to ceiling windows/garage style doors that open up to the cozy patio. A space for everyone. Service is solid and friendly. There is a lot on the menu, so they are happy to walk you through it as needed...and also give you the time needed, which I definitely utilized on my first trip in. Overall, definitely a fan of ITCC and their location in East!

I'd liken its vibe a hybrid coffee shop and fast casual dining. I ordered an iced pecan (hello?!) latte and spring turkey sandwich. Both were excellent. The espresso is fresh, the milk is local, and the syrups are homemade. There's no photos because I think everyone will look at me if I snap a pic and it was too good to stop and stage my order. The sandwich was experimental but not so much that I couldn't enjoy the risks they took with a blueberry compote mayo. Only thing is I would have cooked the roasted potatoes about 3 minutes longer for a crispier side. But I'm just nitpicking, everything was phenomenal. If you're looking to support local, add this hidden gem to your list!

Would recommend.

I'd recommend it for a quick in and out to get a coffee but not as a sit down meeting place.

We managed to snag a parking spot on the street right in front of 8th & Roast, which is always a plus! There was no line when we got there - but you can tell that this is a popular spot on any day of the week. My husband and I sampled a few of their seasonal drinks - the Peppermint Bark latte, and the Pistachio latte. All of their food options sounded good (and smelled good) so we also ordered the "Old Fashioned" biscuit sandwich to-go. The coffee was delicious - I feel like there's a noticeable difference in taste from shops that roast their own beans. We also really liked the breakfast sandwich! The biscuit was thick and flaky, and the sausage, egg and cheese was warm and savory. We didn't stay indoors long - but this is absolutely the kind of coffee shop that I could see myself working remotely at for a few hours. This was a great start to the long weekend - we'll absolutely be back!

I've lived in this neighborhood for years and have always made my coffee at home. But back in 2017…read moreto 2019, I used to come here to work/study and accidentally discovered the breakfast burrito. And oh boy. I became addicted. Then COVID hit. Window pickup became a thing. That burrito was basically my emotional support animal throughout 2020. I ate it almost every damn day. It was $5.95 and genuinely one of the greatest things I had ever put in my mouth. Fast forward a few years. I hadn't had it in forever. Today I came back, craving my beloved COVID breakfast burrito. Sweet baby Jesus. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED. The audacity to call this thing a burrito should be investigated by the FBI. It's apparently wrapped in filo dough (pretty sure), which means it's baked, aggressively buttery, ridiculously doughy, and somehow almost raw underneath. This is not a burrito. This is a pastry having an identity crisis. The beans were basically the entire personality of the thing. Barely any vegetables. The egg tasted like it had been cooked twice, then sentenced to another cooking session inside the pastry. Everything was doughy, mushy, buttery, and sad. I took a few bites, stared into the distance, questioned my life choices, and eventually threw the damn thing away. And it's $10 now. Which I have absolutely no problem paying, IF THE BURRITO IS GOOD. The employees were very nice and kind, though. I don't know any of them and it seems like the whole crew is new, so this is absolutely not about them. But the only reason 8th & Roast remained on my personal breakfast map was that burrito. And now it's gone. RIP 8th & Roast breakfast burrito. 2017-2020. You were too good for this world.

Inside seating is a little loud and outside seating is good if the weather cooperates! They do have fly fans for outside too. I ordered the breakfast wrap and my husband ordered the sunrise wrap. Both are great, Ike a breakfast burrito without the potatoes! The breakfast wrap has bacon and sausage, so that's awesome! And the sunrise wrap has avocado and bacon. They come served cut in half, which is nice if you want to share. I ordered the Cubano latte and it had a great flavor. We also shared a banana bread that they had in the case and they offered to warm it up for us, which made it that much better! We liked it so much that we've already been back for a second time!

It's just a nice, clean, attractive coffee house with really nice staff and great coffee. The biscuit I had was okay but small, but I came there for coffee. I ordered a pour over of their Worka Sakaro coffee bean, and I saw them brew it in a ceramic Kalita Wave and bring it to the table. I enjoyed it a lot! Just remember that, when you order something made with a specialty bean, it will usually taste different from just regular old coffee, and that's a good thing. Really, it's delicious! The people working there are very nice and very friendly. They do a great job at making people feel welcome. Parking can be tight in that area, but there is a parking lot next to it with validated parking. It's easier to figure out than some places I've been.
