I ordered the Turkey Avocado Panini with Ruffle Sour Cream & Cheddar chips. 8/10 for taste and effort. It's better than subway!! read more

Panini Bread Cafe - Turkey Avocado Panini - Cafes Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I've eaten here twice lately (10/1/22) and both have been ok, nothing special. I had the salmon/lox panini and cheese which was good and grilled chicken/artichokes panini. The chicken was chewy/rubbery and there were very few artichokes and couldn't taste them/not flavorful. The cream cheese spread and bread were good though. I'd go back and try another menu item or two. read more

Panini Bread Cafe - Grilled chicken & artichoke panini. Decent...chicken was chewy/rubbery. Not many artichokes...cream cheese spread was good. - Cafes Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I stopped by Panini Bread Cafe for a sandwich today since I hadn't packed a lunch for work. Their menu is simple - mostly, you guessed it, panini. I got the tuna melt and a side pasta salad from the fridge. The tuna melt was average - not the worst I've ever had but certainly on the drier side and not very memorable. The pasta salad was okay - not super fresh, because some of the rotini pasta had dried out at the ends. The service was fine; I wouldn't say anyone was particularly friendly, but they were fast! This wasn't a meal I'm craving to repeat anytime soon, but I work very close to the cafe, so I'm sure I'll be back sometime soon when I forget to bring a lunch to work! read more

The Kiev cake was so amazing! The coffee was great, loved the smoothie and the turkey and avocado panini was so flavorful. Loved our visit!

Not happy with how my second visit. Won't return again. Woman was rude who cooks the food and the food came out like she hated the world. I should've just made my own breakfast for what I paid for this crap. read more

We were looking for something local, not a chain restaurant, in the vicinity of our new townhome in Hermitage. As we were driving we spotted what at first we thought was Panera, but saw it it said Panini, in a smaller strip mall off of Stewart's Ferry Pike. We pulled in, and were glad we did. My wife had the Chicken Salad, and I had the Buffalo Chicken Panini. They were both delicious. Freshly made and toasted, the gentleman used fresh ingredients to make some of the best paninis I've had in a long time. We had the option of 4 bread types, (white, wheat, tomato and spinach). I had the tomato on the buffalo and my wife had spinach on hers. Great choices though I think any of the four would have been good. We wish we had time to order the fresh made bread loaves. The fresh deserts looked good, too. Prices were very reasonable, ($7.25/panini) and a small bag of chips were part of the deal. We will be coming back! read more

The service is amazing here. The staff really aims to please their customers. I had the most amazing Chicken Chipotle Wrap! The coffee shop is clean and so are the bathrooms. If I lived in town I would frequent the establishment. read more

Panini Bread Cafe - Chicken Chipotle Wrap - Cafes Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Uhm, yesssss.... just yessss!! Had their grilled chicken wrap w/cranberries and pecans-I was blown away. They grilled my wrap...I love that :) I decided to try their potato and pasta salads while I was waiting. They are a little slow because everything is freshly made. The potato salad tasted like potatoes! I didn't taste relish or onions. It just tasted like a plain, delish potato salad with a wonderful array of flavors that were so subtle but perfect. The pasta salad was the way I like my salad---oily, garlicy, with a hint of red pepper for a kick! AMAZING! I recommend. The place was empty for lunch which tells me it won't be open long! These restaurants on that strip that are actually delicious don't seem to last long! I don't know why :( read more

The food is amazing and always tastes fresh. We usually call in the order on our way to work and pick it up 10 minutes later. Staff is always friendly and their desserts are epic! Great place to get a big sandwich. Their Turkey Avacado panini is our favorite. read more

I can't give an accurate description of the place in terms of location or what the interior looks like because I've only ever ordered from UberEats. 5 stars. I'm not a fan of panini sandwiches and this place has changed my mind completely. The food arrived fresh and the prices are amazing. I ordered the turkey panini and the BLT. I have ordered 3 more times since the original first time and each time it's just as delicious as the first. It's so good that I have turned my room mate and other friend on to this place. Great prices and great quality food. Definitely going to be in my list of favorite places to order from. 5 starssssss (: read more

This place had been a panini shop three times already. Every time I go I do enjoy myself. The panini selection is good and the variety of times are nice. I had the chicken artichoke and it was very well made. The pastries are good as well. There is a recycling of the menu, each new place has the same thing, but the people working act like they don't know what I'm talking about read more

Panini Bread Cafe - Chicken artichoke panini on cranberry pecan bread - Cafes Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I love everything about Panini Café. The vibe, variety of seating options (futons, tables, high boys, al fresco), speedy wifi, soothing music, and a wonderful family works and owns it. Oh! The food?! The food is so good -- fresh, good ingredients, generous, and a great menu of panini's and salads. My favorite is the Greek Salad. Yes, the humble Greek Salad is the best I've had in Nashville! Try it with the owner's homemade bread of any type (I can't stop ordering the cranberry walnut). We've tried 3-4 panini's and they're all creative and mouth-watering. Save room for dessert! The owner-dad makes incredible desserts -- and not the standard American fare, but really different cakes. They have a loyalty card. They've been very welcoming when I work there in the restaurant when i need a break from my home office. The coffee (Americano) is definitely genuine and made-to-order. There is a review critical of the decor and vibe, but I say there's something pleasing for everyone here. Sometimes they have live music in the evening. Be friendly to the staff -- they're hearty, loving people who work 15 hour days, day after day. Visit the tip jar on the counter, too. read more

Terrible ingredients, dont even bother -- got panini's and a breakfast sandwich and immediately felt terrible. Poor customer service, poor ingredients. read more

I will not go back here. I've eaten there about 5 times and it has gone from mediocre to terrible. Read good reviews about the chicken salad, but it was gross. The texture was as if it was made in a blender, and overall it was bland and flavorless. And, of course, there were little chunks of inedible stuff in it. But the bread it came on was good so I went back. Big mistake. The Reuben was alien meat and tasted like the bread was microwaved. The deserts are bad. Like day old Kroger pastries. The chocolate cake was the worst -- nothing but frosting. The delivery menu is set up so that it's really hard to hit the delivery minimum, without going way over. Which just seems kind of "scammy." And every time I order form there they leave something out or get something wrong. And when I mention to them that the order is wrong, they get a negative attitude. The last time I tried to order takeout, I was already hesitant to give them another shot. But I was stuck at the house, and really just wanted a simple sandwich. After 30 minutes they finally emailed and said they were too busy to complete my order. Never again. read more

Wow. Elena and the cook were amazing. We ended up getting the Veggie and Hummus Wrap and wow were those just impressively tasteful. We ended up eating there and ordering some more in a to-go box for the road. I would recommend this place to anyone who is health conscious, vegetarian/vegan, or even a good coffee shop! If I return I will 100% come back to visit and enjoy good company! read more

I love this place - if you want to support local businesses and enjoy cafe type food (sandwiches, coffee and tea), then you should absolutely come here. The Lox panini is absolutely delicious and I get it every time I visit. The family that owns the place is friendly and nice. The place has a cute coffee shop vibe and is easily accessible off the interstate. read more

I've been here twice. Once I just popped in to look at cake, while I was waiting for a friend to go to a crummy sushi place next door. I came back with friends and we all agrees the food was fantastic! It's a family run business and they are very accommodating and patient. They explained each cake to us, and didn't fuss at all when asked to make substitutions. Sandwiches come with chips or fruit in season. November is not the season for fruit, but I saw that they had banana's for smoothies and asked for one. I got it. We split 4 kinds of cake that day and I honestly can't pick a favorite. The same with the sandwiches, they are all fantastic. I'm going again this weekend and hope to try the soup. read more

Panini Bread Cafe - Beef and Blue panini - Cafes Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

The Eastern edge of Nashville was in desperate need of a good coffee place, and this place does a good job. They use good Bongo Java coffee, are friendly and courteous, are very prompt, and like to make good coffee. They are generous and ready to make their customers happy, and it's generally a pleasant place to sit. I have one problem, and it's a major one, though. They have two restrooms, one is clearly designated for Women, and the other is generic. As a man, this is unacceptable. If it were the other way around, the TV channels would have been called in, commentaries would be written, the owner would be condemned for his misogyny, and the store would have been shamed into created a specific women's room. The fact that the gender-bias goes the other way, it's ignored. If this issue is resolved, I will immediately drop this complaint, and this will be bumped up to at least four stars, since it's otherwise a very good place to go. read more

Unfortunately, this place has a long, long way to go. Many menu items not available, nearly empty pastry case, no scones or croissants, iced mocha was not sweet or cold, panini was bland, no music, owner was confused just ringing up items, decor/atmosphere lacking. read more

Ordered form here do the our location. They delivered and was something different. The panini bread wasn't hard enough, seemed like it was old , and the strawberry salad was boring and they seemed to use just lettuce , walnuts and strawberries. The lettuce was plain old lettuce , ice burg , which seems weird for this type of salad. Anyway. We wouldn't order from here again. Not impressed read more

Got a brownie and a mocha to go. The brownie was good, but the mocha was a disappointment. Not much flavor to it, which is too bad because I got the large one. Not sure if I'll come back to try their food. read more

Stopped in the other day. We are from out of town and didn't know better. First off, i don't know what this place is trying to be. Coffee shop, grandma's attic Idk. The decor was so confusing. Sounds of nature in the background while you're eating a reuben? Doesn't mesh. So the woman behind the counter acted as if we were an inconvenience. I ordered a reuben. Weirdest reuben I've ever been served. Corned beef tasted / looked like bologna, hardly any kraut or dressing and i couldn't even tell if there was cheese on it. I think i saw some. Plus it was COLD. Bread was ok though. My boyfriend got a meatball sandwich. Tons of mozzarella which is great but the meatballs were obviously frozen from food lion. You get a bag of basic lays chips with your combo. Lame. This was the weirdest eating or whatever establishment I've been to.i was even a little uncomfortable. read more

We love this place! The paninis are always perfectly prepared and delicious. There are several that offer avocados, my very favorite, so this puts me in my happy place. And the desserts, oh the desserts - yummy, creamy goodness! read more

I may have caught this place on a bad day. I will update my review if I decide to go back and have a better experience. My girlfriend and I stop by the Hip Donelson Farmer's Market some weeks, where we always stop by Panini Bread Cafe's stand to get banana bread and other goodies. The man who is there every week is super friendly and nice, and always remembers us. We were hoping for a similar experience in the cafe. We went Saturday afternoon hoping for a midday snack and some coffee. Even though they were out of sliced banana bread (my girlfriend's favorite), we decided to try something else. The woman behind the counter was not outright rude, but she certainly wasn't friendly. We ordered a cheesecake brownie, and I got a latte. I specifically said "12 oz latte with lots of milk" when I ordered. I was charged for a 16 oz, but didn't worry about it. When the drink was ready, another customer had to tell me it was on the counter; she did not announce it or anything. The drink, however, was iced. I explained that I had just ordered a latte, not an iced latte. It's hot out, so I understand the mistake, but she seemed annoyed that I even said anything. She remade my drink, a 12 oz latte, but it was so hot that there was visible steam (like boiling water) for the entire 30 minutes we were in the restaurant. I ultimately couldn't drink my $4 small latte because it took so long to cool off. The brownie was okay--the banana bread is better--but the service made me not want to come back. read more

Quaint little sandwich shop tucked away. Everything is homemade and so far been delicious. The first time I went I ordered the spinach artichoke chicken panini ... I expected pre-prepared chicken with spinach artichoke dip on it ... soooo far from what I got! Hand cut chicken pieces (not mushy) with artichoke hearts, FRESH spinach, parmesan cheese with a light sauce served warm on homemade bread. Oh Meh Gurd! I was in heaven! It was so much better than I had anticipated. Came with a bag of chips and a bottle of soda. Very reasonably priced too. The atmosphere is quiet and quaint. Small shop, nicely decorated. Oh but the sandwiches! Definitely a must try! Only open until 5-6 most days so definitely more lunch than dinner. My BF tries different sandwiches each time we go and is never disappointed ... I can't get over my craving for the wonderful warm spinach artichoke chicken panini. read more

Delicious! Needed to grab sandwiches for our group on the run. Called ahead and placed our order so it was ready when I arrived . . . although I couldn't help but add a few of the yummy looking desserts from their case. We ordered the Club (on sourdough), the Meatball (on sourdough), and the Chicken Salad (on cranberry walnut). All were generous portions for the price and were very yummy! We'll be back! read more

Twice I've ordered from this restaurant. The first time I placed an order and then received a call saying they wouldn't deliver so my order was cancelled. The second time it took over an hour and multiple phone calls to get my order. I asked if sausage could be placed in my omelette, apparently not. The omelette had a weird consistency. The "sausage" that was supposed to be served with the omelette plate was actually bacon. The food was super cold, but that's to be expected when it's late. The frappe was good but not worth all the effort. read more

Panini Bread Cafe - Omelette plate - Cafes Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I deliver for Uber Eats and I have never felt so disrespected by an establishment JUST TO PICK UP SOMEONE ELSE'S ORDER in my life. Usually you expect at least a Greeting when you walk into a business, whether you're a customer or not. I walked in and MADE EYE CONTACT with the rude man in the back. He said nothing. A lady made a presence, she noticed mine and still didn't speak. At this point, I've been standing in the dining area for 5 mins while they're speaking to each other!!! Like HELLO???? As I continue to wait for the $10 trip, because I would've left and declined the trip at this point, a younger lady comes in, looks at me, walks behind the front counter and just sits down. NO ONE HERE SPEAKS TO BLACK PEOPLE OR WHAT because that's what I'm chalking it up to. And to top it off, the rude guy threw the bag on top of the counter and said "get an apple juice please" LIKE BITCH THATS THE FIRST THING YOU SAY TO A CONSUMER IN YOUR BUSINESS???????? GET A FUCKING APPLE JUICE ????? I don't fucking work for you, you piece of slimey shit. Suck a Panini read more

FIrst off THE MENU IS STOLEN. Had an EMPLOYEE (male) tell me this the other day when we asked about a sandwich that sounded rather familiar. Really sad someone has to steal another establishments menu an say its theres. SECOND the pastries are all from SAMS CLUB. Yuck. What a waste of time an money. Sad excuse for a Coffee Shop an I am shocked Bonjo Java lets them use there Coffee. Also my wife noticed when the Barista went to the back to make our sandwich they DID NOT use gloves an we heard a mircowave beep twice during the 15 mins it took to get 1 sandwich. Took one bite an threw it away. Have never written a bad review in my life but this was completely needed after our horrible experience. Honestly this place would be better off shut down. read more
