The service here is fantastic. Warm and friendly, always expressing gratitude, checking in on guests, and keeping everything clean. There is such a clear sense that everyone who works there wants to make sure every guest has a great experience. The owner, Jamie, in particular is always making sure that everything is just right. The coffee is great, and the food is good too. The interior is so welcoming (just like the staff), with so much natural light and good vibes. There's also outdoor seating that is really nice as well. Overall just a really great experience, with a strong sense of community and a very pleasant location. Every time I stop in, it makes my day better. read more

Visited Stay Golden in Nashville and had a really nice experience overall. The place has an amazing ambiance with plenty of seating, making it a great spot to hang out, even when it gets busy. We tried the brandy vanilla latte, which was really good -- smooth and flavorful. I also tried their Matchless coffee soda, and it was great and refreshing, something a little different from the usual coffee options. For food, we ordered the Southern Staple sandwich, which was amazing. The biscuits are definitely the highlight -- fresh, soft, and super satisfying. We also tried the Country Grammar dish, and it was good, especially with the sausage gravy. The only downside was that I wish the food had been served a bit hotter. Overall, great coffee, delicious food, and a lively atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Food 4/5 Great for a local breakfast spot. I've eaten here a couple times and enjoy a chicken breakfast sammy. Nice portion. Service 4/5 The staff is welcoming. You order food and pay first and a server will bring your meal to the table. Ambiance 4/5 Open concept with lots of natural lighting. Booths and high top seating and patio seating when the weather permits. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

STAY GOLDEN | golden hour is my happy hour and my only regret was not staying longer at Stay Golden for food. We stopped in for a quick drink & caffeination and were pleased by the menu options. Their "augmented coffee" list is truly different from any coffee menu I've ever seen. We tried the Forever Young, which was a pretty hibiscus coffee drink topped with cream and bee pollen. I also couldn't turn down their take on an espresso martini, A Better Morning. I'm not usually very big on espresso martinis that have cream, but this one was solid. Overall, a great stop for elevated coffee drinks or a cocktail. Next time I'm ordering food!! read more

I came to Stay Golden for a quick breakfast since I was in that area of town. I was expecting more of a cozy-comfy vibe, this was a little less that and a little more clean and white modern type. I got the chicken biscuit gravy and egg dish. The chicken was perfectly cooked and breaded. The egg was also perfectly cooked- I am a little particular with my fried eggs, I want it to be runny but only the yolk runny and this was perfect. I was really excited for the biscuits because their menu raves about them, they were not my favorite. They were a bit dense. I didn't get a coffee but they looked good! read more

Stopped in on a Sunday morning to use our offline promotion for the month. Restaurant was pretty busy with a longer line, took awhile to order. When it was finally our turn we were told they no longer participate in the offline program. Disappointing but we decided to stay regardless. My partner ordered a hot black tea with the green eggs and ham with an over easy egg. The egg was over cooked when brought to the table but good flavor in sauce. I ordered a matcha latte with sweetener and the biscuits and gravy with an over easy egg. My eggs were overcooked as well, closer to over hard. Also, I only found two pieces of sausage on my sausage gravy with it being very watery. A cute environment on a Sunday morning in a great location. We would likely have a better experience on a less busy morning. read more

Stay Golden is located at 2934 Sidco Drive, behind the 100 Oaks Shopping center in a light industrial park. It's got the Nashville trendy vibe, and trendy prices as well. ($50 before tip for two) Lots of indoor seating and a handful of outdoor tables. However, this is not "quaint neighborhood". It's an industrial strip mall. The biscuits are ok nothing out of the ordinary. Had both the biscuits and gravy and a cinnamon raisin biscuit. Both were ok. It came with an egg which was fresh. We added some seasonal jam and and a hot chicken thigh. Jam was good. We didn't like the thigh which had a weird flavor. We also had both a hot and cold coffee. They were horrible. They have unisex bathrooms but sadly were dirty and didn't have hand driers or hand towels. They went hard on the minimalist trendy vibe. All said, it was meh. After a few hours I felt sick so needless to say I will not coming back. read more

Came here on a dreary Sunday morning and had a really good experience. The man at the counter took our order and gave us a table number to sit at. We ordered two waffle sandwiches which was a special at the time, gingerbread cookie, and a latte. They didn't have pimento cheese which was supposed to be on the sandwich so they kindly offered us a free side which was more than generous in my opinion. The food: The waffle sandwiches were big and delicious with a nice sauce, eggs, and pickled onion. Crispy potatoes were done very well, bacon was crispy but not burnt, and my gingerbread cookie was 5/5 and I'd order two next time. My latte was one of the best in recent memory as well. Overall the food was a big highlight with no complaints/disappointments. This place had a really cool vibe and we look forward to coming back and trying more! read more

I love when you not only see the passion on your plate but you can also taste it. The owner, Jamie has worked his way up from being a server to Nashvillians with others' food to opening his restaurant and now serving his own creations. We enjoyed a beautiful sunny mornin' on the deck out front and were greeted by Jamie with a couple breakfast platters and robust dark roast coffee. It was an absolute pleasure to show support to what I hope will become a staple in The Nations for years to come. I know I'll be back when visiting my old stomping grounds. read more

A hidden gem! We'll be back. We went to Stay Golden for brunch -- order at the counter, receive a number with an *assigned table* -- which I thought was a great touch -- and they bring your food to you. It's a super cute vibe inside and the building it's in seems to be a refurbished older warehouse type building. I also think they've done a great job with consistent branding and signage. There was a line because it was New Year's Day, but in addition to the inside space where the line forms, there's also an airlock area that is indoors, so we never had to stand outside and I felt like the line moved at a very reasonable pace. They have a nice beverage and coffee menu, but we had some coffee on our way over so I'll have to save drinks for next time. For brunch, I ordered the Golden Arches, a biscuit sammy with sausage, egg, and cheese with a side of potatoes. Husb ordered the Benedict and we also got a cinnamon raisin biscuit to go from the pastry counter. The biscuit sandwich was tasty and satisfying, and I'm fairly certain the sausage is homemade based on the taste and look. I didn't try the Benedict, but there was plentiful hollandaise and the eggs looked perfectly runny -- which i normally don't find when ordering Benedict out. After eating the cinnamon raisin biscuit warmed at home, it was maybe even better than my sandwich -- perfectly flaked, and a great balance of sweet with touch of salty. I think that the assigned table combined with the water carafe + glasses provided on the table made for a "counter order" style to feel a bit more cozy. Love the vibe and tasty food. My only gripe is the teeny napkins don't go with the type of food they serve. Great place that we'll be adding to the rotation. read more

Came for brunch on a Sunday, and had such a great time! I'm a fan of the seating style: order first, then you're assigned to a table. Make sure you're reading the menu while you're in line to order and it'll move at a quick pace! You're also given a QR code if you'd like to order more after you've been seated. I ordered the Southern Staple biscuit with crispy potatoes on the side. The biscuit was so filling I barely ate my potatoes but they were so good! I ordered a mocha latte with oat milk, and my partner ordered a decaf latte with whole milk.

I've been to Stay Golden a few times yearssss ago, and finally came back this past week. It wasn't what I expected! It's good, but not as good as my recent go-to breakfast spot in East Nashville. The drip coffee is really really good! However I wasn't too impressed with the biscuits and gravy. My husband had steak and eggs and said it was good, same with the Bloody Mary. Overall it's a great vibe with plenty of seating. I also like that you order first, and then get seated.
