    I'll return to update the review after I've had something else from here... I had a latte, and it was decent, not mind blowing but good. There is a sandwich here that I want to try and the breakfast cocktails look pretty good. As I said before when I try something else I'll update, but the building is cute and in a trendy area. Music was medium in case you wanted to just chill.

    Southern Staple (3P)
    Sarah H.

    This spot has a cute, clean interior with plenty of seating inside and out. It's the perfect fast-casual setup to enjoy brunch or an afternoon treat. I ordered the southern staple biscuit with a side salad and got a matcha to go. The matcha was perfect: not too sweet, mixed tea, and just the right amount of oat milk. The salad was a simple side salad. It was good, but nothing stood out about it. I was really excited to try the biscuit; my favorite breakfast item is a good chicken biscuit. Sadly, I was disappointed by the overcooked and horribly crunchy biscuit. The chicken on it paired well with the honey, but I wish there were a few more pickled onions on it to balance out the sweetness. I'd consider coming back to try their other options, but I definitely won't be ordering the biscuit again.

    Stay Golden always has outstanding service and amazing food. I think I've tried half the menu at this point and there's not a single bad item. I'm picky about biscuits and these are fantastic! The last time we went they forgot my husband's coffee and the barista apologized and immediately made it. They move the line as fast as they can and the food comes out pretty quickly too. Free 90 min parking in the back too! I also love the patio here. Highly recommend!

    We love it!! Food was spectacular, customer service 5 stars, the ambiance was very enjoyable we'll definitely come back i need to try the coffee next time!! I highly recommend it

    i had high hopes for this place but unfortunately it did not live up to my expectations. i loved the service and the atmosphere but the food and matcha were my reason for this rating. the matcha just tasted like milk, not matcha at all. the breakfast tacos looked beautiful but just felt like it was missing something. i also ended up finding a hair in my food but they refunded me for the tacos and gave me a whole new order, which was greatly appreciated.

    This location stays pretty busy. order before seating gives people time to get up and find the next seat. Very modern decorated. Lots of options of spicy chicken. Service was quick and welcoming!

    Chai Latte (3P) Iced
    Bridget K.

    Amazing! I was able to eat a biscuit after many years and it was glorious! The homemade gluten free biscuit was incredibly good! Flaky, buttery...all the good things. I wish they told me when I ordered that I had to get grilled chicken instead of breaded (since it wasn't gluten free), but other than that it was great. The pickled onions and hot honey was a great combo. I also ordered an iced chai tea latte that was great. The space is clean, inviting, warm and bright. Service was excellent!

    What we ordered. Notice no mods (we did not order egg whites)
    Steph H.

    What on earth has happened to this place. We use to go to their original location on Sidco all the time previously. We hadn't been to try them again since they moved until this week. I ordered online what we always use to order (classic and Golden Arches biscuit sandwiches). I didn't look at our order until arriving home but wish I would have. The breakfast sandwiches were NOTHING like they use to be..or what is advertised on their website by the way. It's clear they are cutting corners and costs. The "eggs" were this bizzare baked cube of seasoned what I assume are egg whites. Sausage was insanely overcooked. Potatoes we paid extra for, were undercooked and over seasoned. We picked through the sandwiches but threw most of it away. Nothing was good. Both of our stomachs hurt nearly the rest of the day after eating here. Be very cautious eating any hollandaise based items here (I saw they have a few). Hollandaise has to be held at a certain temperature or can be very dangerous. I would stay away from that here since I saw some questionable food practices when I was inside near where they were cooking. There also was a rude employee I encountered when inside the restaurant that was cleaning up. What an absolute bummer. We went a lot out of our way to support them again but won't be back.

    Matchless coffee soda
    Audrey H.

    A cute breakfast spot! I was quite impressed with my coffee -- I had never had a coffee soda and this was delicious. I found it odd that they couldn't poach my egg, considering it was an eggs Benedict (isn't the whole thing about an eggs Benedict that it's poached??), but it was still jammy and flavorful as a sunny side up egg. Overall SG didn't blow me out the water, but I did enjoy it!

    The Jam (3P)
    Peyton L.

    Stopped for a quick brunch and ordered at the counter. I got a breakfast sandwich with eggs and jam, plus a side of potatoes. The flavors were really good, but the sandwich was super messy -- the egg and biscuit crumbled everywhere. The potatoes were solid, nothing special. Overall, tasty but a bit hard to eat. Would try again, but probably order something different next time. They did have a very cute patio that we sat on.

    Mural
    Erin F.

    Cute place to stop in Nashville! We came for coffee but the breakfast looked good. The neon sign and fun mural decals on the wall combined with big windows and hanging plants make a nice atmosphere and there's plenty of seating. There was also free parking in the back. The coffee menu is somewhat limited but all of your typical drinks (latte, mocha, chai, matcha) are there. The featured items were a brandy vanilla latter or a sweet latte with condensed milk (Cuban) which we tried and really enjoyed. This wasn't quite a coffee shop vibe that I was expecting, more a restaurant, but it hit the spot! It's close to the Greenway and Sylvan Park too so nice to hit for a bite or drink before a morning or evening walk.

    Savory waffle
    Heather M.

    We waited in line for 30 minutes, but it was worth it. The food was really good. Among the three of us, we ordered the crispy yeasted waffle, savory waffle, and American breakfast (complete with gluten-free biscuit). I loved all of the natural light and wall murals. The staff were friendly and thanked us for waiting. The only disappointment was the iced mocha, which didn't have a lot of flavor.

    Spiced Apple Chai
    Bailey D.

    I had been meaning to check out Stay Golden's new location in The Nations for a while, and I have to say I am impressed! They managed to recreate the vibes from their former cafe in 100 Oaks - while adding in a bit more natural light and fun decor that fits in well with the neighborhood. Hot tip - there is some parking available behind the building! When in doubt, there's always street parking too. I met a friend here for coffee and lunch on a weekday, and decided to try their seasonal Spiced Apple Chai. One word - YUM! If you're a fan of warm fall spices, this drink is a must order. Get it before it's gone! For lunch, I went with the Super Foods Salad, which was just OK for me. "Seasonal fruit" is listed in the ingredients, which I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't grapes. They felt out of place on an otherwise decent salad - and made me with I had ordered one of the Biscuit Sammies instead. Even still, Stay Golden is a cute neighborhood cafe, and I'm sure I'll be back again soon the next time I'm in the area.

Thankfully when we stopped in on a recent weekday morning there was no wait and we were seated in the most perfect spot right away! We chose an outdoor table! The outdoor patio is so nice, even in the Nashville summer heat!! We got there before it was super hot out and the patio kept us super comfortable the whole time!! :) We had a really great waitress who was very knowledgeable about the menu and was able to help us make the best decisions for what we were craving!! We started with a couple of drip coffees that came out in adorable cups, on saucers, with spoons, very lovely appearance! Quite delicious! We ordered a fried chicken biscuit sandwich that was served with their home fries and a side of country gravy. This was delicious! I HIGHLY recommend trying their table hot sauce! We loved it so much we bought a bottle to take home!! :) We also ordered the Chicken and waffles. This dish is also served with home fries and a then a side of syrup. This meal was also fantastic!! We had a really great experience at Milk and Honey and would highly recommend for someone looking for not just a good meal, but an entire lovely breakfast experience! :) Don't forget to check out their gift shop and bakery treats to go, on your way out!!

(We had other dinner plans in a few hrs) we got the ricotta/honey bread, the honey butter biscuits and a Bloody Mary. Ricotta/honey: everyone raves about this but we thought it was boring. Ricotta was cold but the bread was warm. No flavor. Added salt and pepper just for something. It gives me ideas of something better to make some day do for that I'm Grateful. Biscuits: husband and friends loved them!! Could have used more butter but still good. Bloody Mary- YEEEESSS!! It was perfect. Our friend got the hot chicken and he loved it. I had 1 bite and it was definitely hot!! And yes- very good. All in all, a good different brunch place for an out of towner. Nothing amazing that I will come back for. Great customer service!

    We had the BEST experience at Biscuit Love!!! A new favorite for sure!!…read more Biscuit Love turned us on to the chicken/biscuit breakfast!! We live in Michigan so this southern fare was SUCH a welcomed change!! We walked in to this spot and were immediately struck by how cute it is! I would recommend checking out the menu before you go because once you enter you are immediately in the line to place your order at the counter! There isn't a lot of room in this area so standing there trying to read the menu for an extended time is difficult! I love to read the entire menu before deciding so for me, I need the extra time! ;) We placed our order and then they seated us at one of their tables with a number. The kitchen brings out the order to your table when it's ready. Everything on the menu sounded so very good, it was hard to choose! Because I was using yelp to see what the menu items looked like I was able to spot a "secret menu item" as the staff member explained. I ended up order the "Nasty Princess". The princess sandwich, which is the Nashville hot chicken version, but add gravy and and egg! AMAZING! This was so, so good! I highly recommend! I also ordered a side of the fried potatoes, which were also very good but ended up being way too much food!! The biscuit sandwich was very large and incredibly filling!! :) We also ordered an egg plate with an upgrade to the chronic bacon - HIGHLY recommend the chronic bacon!! This was super delicious and very unique!! We LOVED the cheese grits on this plate as well as the biscuit with jam!! This is a good choice if you like a platter of different, separated items! For drinks we tried an Iced Sunshine latte, which was very tasty, but very sweet and over the top for our preferences while eating a meal. The drip coffee was wonderful! A perfect compliment to any dish!! :) Biscuit Love is the perfect southern charm spot for a WONDERFUL breakfast experience! Super kind staff, super delicious food, super cute atmosphere... you can even purchase a mug or piece of cute merch to take home to remember your fun time!! We will for sure be back!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by one of the sweetest hosts, who made us feel genuinely welcome. We had made a reservation, and our table was ready immediately, making for a smooth and stress-free start to our meal. I would highly recommend making a reservation at least a day in advance--two days if you're visiting on a weekend or during peak travel times. It was clear this place is popular, and for good reason. Our server, Cody, truly made the experience unforgettable. Hands down, he is the best server I've ever had anywhere. He took the time to thoroughly walk us through the menu, explain the daily specials, answer all of our questions, and offer recommendations based on what we were looking for. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine hospitality elevated our entire dining experience. We ordered the pancakes, omelets, and of course, the famous biscuits. The biscuits absolutely deserve the hype! They were warm, buttery, fluffy, and practically melted in your mouth. The pancakes were light, fluffy, and delicious, and the omelets were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. One thing I really appreciated is that while Loveless Cafe offers a supper menu in the evenings, breakfast is served all day. That's perfect for anyone like me who believes breakfast tastes good no matter what time it is! It's easy to see why Loveless Cafe has become such a Nashville staple. Between the warm Southern hospitality, outstanding service, and incredible food, this was an experience we'll be talking about long after breakfast. If you're visiting Nashville, or even if you're a local who hasn't been yet, put Loveless Cafe at the top of your list. And if you're lucky enough to have Cody as your server, you're in for an exceptional experience!
