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.

Great experience here! Immediately was thrilled for the parking lot and ease of coming and going…read more Once stepping in, I was thankful for how they set up their orders with a great layout of how they used their space. 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!! Hey next time carry more sizes of shirts so I can continue to spread word of your great coffee shop!

They make their syrups in house and sell them so you can bring the flavor home with you. Their food is always spectacular and ranges to fit any preferences.

This is the super unique find in Franklin Tennessee! My husband has gone for coffee (he is a true…read morecoffee snob, he roasts his own coffee beans), and said their coffee was pretty good! We have come in the evenings, a couple times now, and it's super fun that they invite a food truck each night, you need to call ahead to find out which type of truck. I really wanna try the pizza truck! Typically, the ginger pig is the truck that's there, multiple friends have raved about the hamburger that comes with a unique green sauce on the side. Multiple friends have also raved about their wings! There's a super cute kids section play area. The bar seems to have a lot of variety of different types of beer on top. I sampled a few, but really enjoyed the grapefruit Italian soda, which had 4.2% alcohol. It was really smooth and delicious! Everyone that works there is super friendly, and it's a cool place to hang out and gather with friends!

Onyx + Alabaster Coffee Lounge in downtown Franklin is officially one of my favorite coffee shops!…read moreThey're well known for the Alchemy Latte with honey, cinnamon, and vanilla, which is really good, but my personal favorite is the O+A Latte with white and dark chocolate. They have rotating seasonal pastries and the inside atmosphere is a big part of what makes this place special. The downstairs space is cozy and cute, while the larger upstairs lounge is perfect for some rest after a shopping stroll down Main Street, coffee dates, or getting a little work done. Pro tip: if you have time, walk through their connected interior design space and home market to browse home goods and decor, and stop by the Alchemy Wall to grab a free scripture or inspiration card!

Unfortunately the "scent" is so overwhelming and gives us an immediate headache and nausea upon entering. Myself and many people I know have had to stop going there and it's such a shame because that is truly the only reason. It's not even that this scent is bad, it's not. The chemicals in synthetic fragrance do have a negative effect on everyone because they're endocrine disruptors, but especially those who are sensitive to chemicals. I'm praying that they stop using it and we can enjoy this place again.

I stumbled upon this little gem when my pregnant daughter had a craving for snow cones. She was…read morelooking for a place that served bigger ones than usual. As pictured, you'll see their snow cones are good portion size. She got the "Lava Flow" and substituted piña colada for coconut. It was enough for us to share. When we arrived, we discovered they serve plenty of other treats besides snow cones. Everything on the menu looked appealing, so we'll definitely be coming back to try more. The employee who helped us has clearly been there for a while, and it showed--she genuinely seemed to enjoy her job. She was so friendly and patient, taking pride in every item she served and making sure each customer was happy with their order. The menu items might be a a little pricey, but they're still average compared to similar places. I highly recommend stopping by and supporting this small business!

Compared to other places in Nashville, the Matcha I had was was perfect with the taste and texture (it held up with it's savory umami flavor without being too watered down/ too much milk). On the other hand the Cortado was not overly extracted + not bitter, and had the perfect amount of milk to soften the espresso. The place is located in a strip mall and is small inside. Parking can also be found outside directly of the store. The service and staff was also friendly and nice. My personal rating: 4.5-5/5
