Just south of Franklin on Columbia Pike sits one of the coolest little caffeine havens around, The…read moreFainting Goat Coffee. And let me tell you, this Old GOAT nearly lived up to the name. I walked in, glanced at the menu for approximately 2.7 seconds, and knew exactly what destiny had in store for me: the Salted Queen Caramel Latte. (Yes ma'am. Royalty in a cup.) I placed my order with a young lady who was polite, friendly, and engaging, the kind of person who makes you feel like you've been coming there for years, even if you just figured out where to stand. Five-star customer service before the caffeine even hit. Seating options? Oh, they've got you covered. You can sit outside upstairs and pretend you're in a Hallmark movie, or stay inside where it's cool and comfortable. We chose inside. The high-top table had USB ports and electrical plugs, which is a classy move. Nothing says "we care" like letting people charge their phone while they charge their soul. And yes, there's WiFi if you feel the need to actually work instead of just looking productive. Then I heard it, my name called out like I'd just won a prize. I stepped forward... and met my Salted Queen Caramel Latte. Wow. It was better than expected. Smooth. Rich. Perfectly balanced. I took one sip and this Old GOAT almost fainted. Which is ironic... because that's exactly where we were. If you live in Franklin and haven't tried The Fainting Goat Coffee, you're missing out. Go meet the Queen. Just be prepared... you might faint.

It didn't take them long for them to make my drink, a salted queen latte, even though they were quite busy. I'm sure thanks to how they have their space setup as well as some fabulous workers! Loved how there were more private booth spaces. Genius! The drink was nummy + exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much, Fainting Goat Coffee!!

I frequent both locations, but probably Tollgate more often when I'm alone. The original location is my MIL's fave tho so we often visit to sit and chat. The modern and spacious vibe at both WS locations is diff than the other local shops (Awaken, Goat) that while have good offerings try to fit overwhelming coffee traffic and work/study/visit touchdowns into heritage historic houses that don't meet the space needs. And of course like most locals, WS is less commercial (and quieter) than the big chain shops. Still tops!

It's on the smaller side, but they have designed the space well to maximize their seating (both indoor and outdoor). Very cute, relaxed setting and friendly, helpful employees! What I particularly loved is they make a lot of things in-house from scratch (from syrups and cold foams, to pastries and other food items) or sell locally made products. The coffee and breakfast I tried were good and I grabbed a pastry to go -- for research purposes of course -- and that was tasty as well. They also roast their own coffee if you want something to take and brew from home. All-in-all, definitely a worthwhile coffee stop if you're in the area!

The owner is actually the one that brought them out & made sure we had everything we needed. The 2 drinks & 2 tacos were $24 (tacos were $11) based on current prices it felt like a fair price for our order. We thought everything was delicious & agreed we would definitely go back!
