    Espresso tonic
    Danae M.

    Primitive has such fun decor and friendly employees. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his espresso tonic, which we had read was the best espresso tonic in town. Their pumpkin waltz seasonal latte was yummy, too. Their breakfast tots were a good snack, but a little salty. I definitely recommend stopping by!

    Cute and cozy coffee shop we found through a yelp search, hours were good so we stopped in mid afternoon. I got an almond milk latte with honey and cinnamon (delicious) and husband got this crazy seasonal latte (week of feb 6) with like pine and something else. It was weirdly good, wish I could find the menu for what it was. Sat on a smushy comfy couch and hung out for a bit. If I lived in Nashville I would want to be a regular here.

    Occupying space in the Able Restaurant Equipment building on Nolensville Pike, Primitive Coffee is a welcome addition to the area! This brick and mortar was an exciting expansion for Primitive who have been around the city in variations for a few years. Cool to have followed them to this spot! The space is good sized with a few different spaces to hangout in. There is the more formal space with tables and chairs, a small bar at the end of the counter and then a separate room that is a bit more cozy. The whole vibe is vintage-campy from the exposed brick, old school stereo including the old school wooden/glass cabinet, antique-esk furniture to retro art. This vibe follows through to the drinks where they are served in time-era glassware or red campfire mugs. The menu is compact, but variable and features your classics to the boozy! For the booze, they offer a small selection of local brews. Coffee drinks range from your standard coffees to matcha drinks to lattes, etc. Food wise, they have a few pastries and breakfast sandwiches plus a few house items such as breakfast tots! Service was solid. The owner is really chill and friendly, as was the barista who took my order and prepared both my coffee and tots. I went with the cold brew and breakfast tots. The cold brew was okay. The tots were crispy and topped with eggs, bacon and beer cheese. Served in a small paper boat, they were tasty. Total for both out me around $12, which isn't bad at all. Parking is plentiful in the immediate area, but there is not a dedicated lot. There are shared lots behind the building and several street spots. Signage is limited outside, so just look for the Able sign and you are at the right spot. Overall, cool and chill spot for sure. Solid 4.5, so I'll toss in the .5 star because they are local and need to thrive!

    Primitive Coffee Company in Nolensville is a great spot to stop by. If you're a coffee lover, this place is pretty much perfect--these folks really know how to serve coffee the right way. I tried their Huck Finn, which is their coffee soda, and wow... it's such a unique and refreshing drink. Highly recommend giving it a shot if you want something a little different. Food-wise, everything I've had has been great. I loved their kolache, and the tots are seriously delicious--crispy, flavorful, and super satisfying. Overall, great vibes, great food, and fantastic coffee. Definitely worth a visit.

    Love this place! I'm not the typical coffee shop goer because I don't drink coffee, but this spot has other yummy options if you favor a beer or a matcha like me! I came for a game of bingo with a friend, and the vibes were amazing. All of the staff was super friendly, there was plenty of space to spread out, and it has a simple yet cute interior. The only downside is the parking situation is a bit stressful. I'd definitely come back for another event here as it was so inviting and to try more of their drinks.

    Primitive coffee is a welcome addition to the south Nashville and Woodbine area. There aren't many options for coffee in that particular area so definitely want to support this place and see do well. The latte I got was very good and I enjoy the ambience here. It is very cozy and welcoming inside with a retro vibe. The service was friendly and I will definitely be back.

    Americano was very watery Dirty chai latte was ok, had good chai flavor but nothing to write home about. The place is aesthetically pleasing, giving a open retro vibe. Service was friendly

    Fellow Yelper tipped me off on this spot near my home and I am in love with their vibe! While it might be bit challenging to get in and out of off of Nolensville Pike - it's totally worth it! Plenty of space to work remote, it feels like a coffee shop meets antique store with a vibrant, offbeat, vintage Americana feel...Doing my best to describe a vibe that just fits South Nashville so well! I am stoked to have another quality coffee shop near me. The coffee - we got 2 iced lattes to try and split - Vanilla Rum & Rose Cardamom (seasonal) and they were phenomenal - well balanced taste! I like that they make their own syrups in house and use larger square ice cubes that give it a whole separate vibe than a standard coffee shop. Staff was friendly from the moment I arrived!

    Vanilla Latte for the win.

    This is one of my favorite South Nash Coffee spots. The building is easy to miss, but one you stop in, you will return. The staff is friendly and makes a great cup of (enter your choice beverage, mine was a latte today). They have a limited food menu, but the food is surprisingly great. Relax on the sofa, pull at a computer at one of their many tables or sit at the bar and chat with baristas. They have games and books and a calm inviting atmosphere.

    What a cool spot! Easy parking, cool vibe, creative themed drinks and delicious coffee! Also loved the art by the register. Will go again soon!

    When in Nashville...ya gotta check out a bakery. This was my choice for our most recent visit!…read more We rolled up after checking out of our hotel on a Friday morning. They were pretty busy and unfortunately there was nowhere convenient to park. Hubs let me out of the car and said he'd come back for me. I stepped into a comfortably sized, modern, open bakery/restaurant. You order at the counter. They have several cases displaying both refrigerated and non-refrigerated items. They also have a small selection of cute gifts/stocking stuffer or house warming type items. The line moved a little slowly but it was for a good reason; the employees took time to genuinely interact with each customer. They even engaged a little boy with his grandma in front of me in a whole conversation about his new school and even got him a special sticker. It was sweet, though the Scrooge-y side of me was in a bit of a hurry. You can also order a whole meal (mostly breakfast and cafe style lunch) here if you're so inclined, but we had other plans for lunch and so I just wanted pastries to take home. I ordered a peanut butter cookie, an almond croissant, a brown sugar matcha madeleine, and a chocolate cardamom madeleine. They pulled my pastry box together quickly and I was on my way to meet hubs in the car. The highlight of the items was the almond croissant. The almonds were toasty and crunchy and the croissant had gorgeous flaky layers and a gooey almond center. The madeleines were enjoyable though they were both a little heavy on the matcha and cardamom respectively for my tastes (esp the cardamom); that said, the texture was picture perfect, with crisp edges and fluffy, cakey insides. The peanut butter cookie was a little crumbly but pretty good too. Idk if anything just completely blew me away (the croissant got close) but everything was very solid and certainly enjoyable. If you're a pastry connoisseur, definitely add this place to your list to check out! Glad I was able to try them.

You can also book one of there glass classes. There are glass demos, gallery tours, 15 minute seasonal glass experiences and more intensive sessions for those interested in a private session with their head of glass. I really enjoy the seasonal classes. They are short sessions that provide a great hands on experience. Booking online is easy. Once you arrive you check-in, grab safety glasses followed by a brief overview of the space. Then it's time for the fun. You select your color and are then walked through a hands on ornament making experience. It's a must try for your next date night or girls night out.

    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.

I really appreciate the extensive range of coffee beans they offer, along with the variety of roasts and the way they source their beans from different suppliers across multiple countries. During my visit, I ordered a cappuccino made with a medium roast, while my husband went with a mocha. My cappuccino featured their Sunrise Espresso Blend, which combines beans from Brazil, Guatemala, and Costa Rica. The resulting flavor profile was wonderfully fruity and a little chocolatey (from the Brazil- Blend), with very low acidity, exactly what I prefer. It delivered the precise caffeine hit I was looking for and felt incredibly refreshing. My husband's mocha, however, was a bit of a letdown. It was overwhelmingly mocha-heavy to the point where there was barely any discernible coffee flavor, so it was not a hit for him. The baristas were polite, though the wait time felt a little longer than expected considering the cafe was not very busy at the time. Beyond that, the vibe inside is very chill, there is plenty of seating, and the free parking availability makes visiting super hassle-free.

I need everyone at Red Bicycle to understand that I was purchasing food, not adopting a small vegetable farm. Apparently every vegetable inside the burrito is an additional 75 cents. A TOMATO? 75 cents. PEPPERS? 75 cents. ONIONS? 75 cents. Brother, is this a breakfast burrito or a freaking build a bear? And listen, I am not the kind of person who complains about prices if the food is good. Charge me $40 for a burrito if that burrito changes my life. I will pay it. I will write a poem about it. I will name my firstborn after it. But this burrito? Jesus Christ. The chicken and turkey were basically theoretical. I saw no evidence that an actual bird had participated in the preparation of this meal. The cheese had apparently entered witness protection. The entire thing was so dry and bland that I briefly considered putting it in water and drinking it like a dehydrated emergency ration. I have eaten raw eggs with more enthusiasm. Then there was the front counter experience!!!!! I was with someone who isn't American, and he asked whether he could sit down or whether he needed to be seated. A completely reasonable question if you're unfamiliar with American restaurant etiquette. The woman working up front responded with the energy of someone who had just been asked to explain quantum physics to a raccoon. She wasn't technically rude. I want to be fair. But she had the warmth of a parking ticket. The entire interaction felt like we had interrupted her during an extremely important meeting with Satan. The vibe of the place itself was fine. Nothing offensive. Nothing particularly exciting either. Just kind of sitting there, existing. Two stars because the food was technically edible and nobody physically threw me out. Would I return? Yes. Under very specific circumstances: If every restaurant within a 200 mile radius had burned down, my house had no food, DoorDash had declared bankruptcy, the grocery stores were empty, and I was stranded in the wilderness with nothing but a half charged iPhone and the last remaining breakfast burrito from Red Bicycle. Even then, I would probably stare at it for 15 minutes and whisper: "Surely there is another way"
