I stopped in at Elegy on my way to another event in Nashville. I was happy to see that they offer…read moreparking validation at this location because 2 hours in the paid lot behind Elegy is $16ish dollars and you couldn't book just a few minutes to run in to grab coffee which was confusing. Otherwise, the staff were friendly, the coffee was delicious. I look forward to going back in the future!

This is such a cute hidden gem coffee shop in East Nashville! I absolutely loved the greenery,…read moremerch and unique flavors they had for coffee. Notably, they had the cutest coffee served in a honey bear cup! For my order, I went with the cloud matcha with watermelon water. This was super refreshing for a hot day, it was a great mix of the matcha earthiness and the freshness of the watermelon water. I will say that the pricing is a bit steep at this shop, I really just got a matcha cold foam with watermelon water and this cost around $9 with tax. For me, that's a bit too expensive but the drink itself tasted great and the staff was super friendly!

Wonderful location off of riverside drive. Service is always kind & pastries are always stocked !…read moreCoffee is delicious and the food menu is always good. Parking is a little limited if it's busy but there is always a spot nearby. Tons of GF, veggie and vegan options. Some pastries are from other local businesses as well. Love local supporting local.

Lovely little coffee spot with solid pastries too! The line was quite long on a Saturday morning,…read morebut they move relatively quickly. The selection of breakfast and pastry options is extensive and tempting. They have a ton of god gluten free and vegan options too. I ended up getting a vegan chocolate coconut scone because it looked better than any of the other treats, and it was so perfectly savory and sweet at the same time. The scone itself had a nice doughy saltiness to it that was matched by the sweet chocolate chunks! The lattes were good. I had a whole milk latte and appreciated the care they put into the art. Parking is quite crowded but people are constantly going in and out so you shouldn't have to wait long for a spot to open!

The coffee options are fun and there are all the milk options and alternatives. There is an option to order in advance. I ordered through the app and they waited to add the ice to my mocha until I arrived for pickup was a nice thoughtful touch. I liked several of the flavor combos.

I would go back to try the coconut latte instead, but it wasn't bad for a little pick me up. Service: Our drinks and food came out really quickly and the staff was very nice!

We went to MADtown coffee specifically because of their flags. We knew it would be a kind and…read morewelcoming place where we would be comfortable. We were absolutely correct. Not only that, their coffee is very, very good. Their pastries are yummy. Went back again this past Sunday and I had the lavender tea. It was smooth and tasty. These people understand the art of making and steeping tea. We do not live close but take our dog for training in Madison. This will be our place for the next several months.

I needed to get some work done and felt a desire to get out the house to try a new spot. I don't…read moredrink coffee so I can't rate theirs but I did get their summer special pandan drink. It was ..unique. I don't think I'm a fan but it was nice to try something new. I love that they carry High Garden Tea, it's the best tea on the planet. They also have vegan no options for breakfast. I'm not vegan but I don't eat pork so I always appreciate those options. The parking is very easy, but tricky to get out if you're parked in front. The person who helped me was very kind and welcoming. The space is comfy and I could have stayed hours doing some working and reading. I will definitely return for a longer visit to indulge in tea and some breakfast.

Ugly Mugs in East Nashville is popping! It really feels like a neighborhood spot--lots of locals,…read moregreat energy, and a relaxed vibe. Free street parking is a win, the passion tea I ordered was good, and the WiFi was solid, which made it a great place to hang out or get some work done. They're open late (until 6pm), which is rare and appreciated (!!), and the barista was super friendly. Ironically, I was given a paper cup, so I didn't get to experience the actual "ugly mug" part yet--but it gave me a reason to go back. Definitely a place East Nashville people clearly love.

Coffee shops are kinda my thing. If there is a local shop, I will stop by. Before my visit I had…read morenever heard of them. From the walk up, I immediately felt it would be a good visit. Greeted immediately. Went to the register, the barista let me know she'd be with me. (This is something I feel lot of people don't do in customer service) I ordered a Cuban with Oatmilk. (It's my favorite drink and if it's on the menu, I'll likely order) For breakfast I had the broccoli and goat cheese quiche. Cuban was great and the quiche was good too!! I chatted with someone who worked there and she was very pleasant. I wish I had asked her name. She was cleaning windows and rearranging plants. I'm a crazy plant lady so this was right up my alley.. Very laid back space. Restroom was very cute and clean. They have tables but also a sofa and chairs you can chill in. All in all this space was nice and prices reasonable.

I stopped in to Flora + Fauna on a late Friday morning after having it on my "to try" list for what…read moreseemed like ages. It's a popular spot but they moved pretty quickly. I'd liken its vibe a hybrid coffee shop and fast casual dining. I ordered an iced pecan (hello?!) latte and spring turkey sandwich. Both were excellent. The espresso is fresh, the milk is local, and the syrups are homemade. There's no photos because I think everyone will look at me if I snap a pic and it was too good to stop and stage my order. The sandwich was experimental but not so much that I couldn't enjoy the risks they took with a blueberry compote mayo. Only thing is I would have cooked the roasted potatoes about 3 minutes longer for a crispier side. But I'm just nitpicking, everything was phenomenal. If you're looking to support local, add this hidden gem to your list!

I enjoyed the intimate feeling of the coffee shop, it wasn't too crowded and the wait time was short given there was only one couple ahead of us!
