    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!

    Hot chocolate and coffee shop.

They have about 20 parking spots right around the building, it is normally full but I've always found a spot. I think there is additional parking in an adjacent lot, but I'm often with my kids or just running in super fast so I've never used it. Sometimes it is very busy and others not so much, I think peak times are normal eating hours & weekends. I will say the line typically moves slowly. The employees are nice, friendly and helpful. The chocolate chip pecan cookie might be the best in nashville, totally underrated and is only $2.50. The coffee is great. The food is very good and so reasonably priced, I love the chicken salad sandwich. The outdoor area is great and I appreciate the children's play items. My kids will typically play for a bit and/or they have some markers and coloring sheets. Great & easy place to come as a family. Overall just a super solid spot for coffee and/or food. I would avoid peak times!

They have started doing a little better about having outlet options, but mainly at those tall, long skinny tables. The ones that aren't necessarily great for working because they're so high up and can make your legs feel weird after awhile. Haha. The other semi complaint I have is that they close early. 3 pm is early when you want to try and work. Drinks are good. I don't drink a ton of coffee these days, but what I've had there was good. I get either their chai or matcha. Both of those I enjoy! I had a sandwich there recently. I wanted to roll my eyes at the price truthfully. However, when it came.. WOAH. It was GIANT. I was thoroughly impressed. It was really really good. I had to take half of it home and put it in the fridge. When I came back home hours later... it was STILL GOOD. The bread was not soggy either! That's HUGE! Ok so overall, I highly recommend this place and it's one of my go to spots.

I'd still consider going back since they're open fairly late, which I really appreciate. There's a small parking lot next to the shop, which is convenient. Overall, a fun spot for the atmosphere even if the coffee didn't quite hit for me.

    Quick and tasty stop for coffee and a breakfast sammie on our way to Radnor Lake on a Saturday…read moremorning! 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 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.
