I love coming to this coffee shop to study. This place sticks out to me compared to other coffee shops because I feel like the workers genuinely enjoy getting to know frequent customers! The coffee is also fantastic as well as some of their pastries. read more

The ambiance in here was great. Lovely interior and a variety of options for seating. The music kept cutting in and out which was very distracting from work. The Swanson was really great, creamy, and yummy. The cider was good, but waaaaayyyyy too sweet in a coat-your-mouth way. The flavor was great, it was just the insane sweetness that really was not so great. Overall, would go back. read more

Vertical Coffee Company - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cookeville, Tennessee

To begin, I have been visiting Vertical Coffee since their inception a few years ago and the ambiance, atmosphere and coffee service is fine. For years, my go-to drink at any coffee bar is a hot, dirty Chai Latte with one or two shots of expresso. Today, I ordered a medium and when I received the Chai and took the first sip, I got a cloying sweetness that was not pleasant to me. I took it back up to the barista and told her it was too sweet and that I must have gotten someone else's drink, but she informed me that they had changed their formula recently and that I had received my chai latte. I have been ordering hot, dirty Chai Lattes for years and I have never had one so off-puttingly sweet. Vertical has a lot of nice drinks and many special and if I ever want to try one I will be back...however, I will start going to one of the other great coffee houses in Cookeville for my favorite chai...what a shame. read more

We always have a great experience at vertical coffee. The staff are nice and always helpful. They usually have seasonal drinks which I typically order from. This time I ordered the pumpkin spice latte -- it's on the sweeter side but tasted great! There's indoor and outdoor seating. It's a casual ambiance where you can grab a coffee to go, sit for a while or study. read more

Coffee is delicious and the staff is welcoming. Nice ambiance and good pastries. I will definitely return and soon

If you're in Cookeville, this is a must try shop. Anytime I'm in the area, I'll make a special trip to grab some coffee here. The staff is great, the coffee is delicious, and the shop has a great feel to it. read more

Best coffee in Cookeville!Their Dark Colombian Roast is my favorite, and they always have fun tasty lattes as well! I always have the best service whenever I walk into Vertical, everyone is always friendly, which I greatly appreciate! read more

Wonderful experience! Matcha and coffee were delicious, and the employees were so kind especially when I mentioned allergies. It was nice and quiet in the coffee shop along with cute decor. I recommend! read more

I'm a creature of habit so the Swanson has been my go to. Always awesome tasting and the service is great.

Vertical Coffee's new space (directly across the street from their old location) has to be seen to be believed! It is homey but still upscale, roomy, and all around beautiful. The coffee is top notch, just as before, and all flavors and syrups are made in-house. They have great rotating seasonal flavors but I always opt for the classic iced oat mocha. I would love it if they would consider a gluten-free pastry/baked good option but I also know that is a niche market and not always advantageous to the business. A 10/10 experience all around! read more

First time to stop by and not sure if I will be back. I have a dog and am not opposed to them so don't hate on me. However, I brought my new grandbaby here to relax and enjoy while we talked and caught up, but these animals constantly under my feet, smelling horrible from the rain and causing her to sneeze, this definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. They have a patio so why not enjoy the dogs under the outdoor cover? As a business owner I would recommend outdoor pets only! Just my thoughts but strong opinion that I won't be back. read more

Stopped for a late afternoon pick me up. I order a gourmet S'mores Latte. It was delicious with roasted Mimi marshmallows and graham cracker crumbles on top. My husband ordered a medium roast coffee and said it was perfect. We also shared a chocolate chip muffin that was very fresh and loaded with god quality chips. It was a quiet chill atmosphere just as a coffee shop should be. read more

The coffee and people are absolutely great but I did notice a price increase of about ~.50 cents a cup today 12-14-2023 which now puts me down to one visit a week instead of two. Oh well, I guess all good things must come to an end as prices keep going up and wages do not. read more

This is a wonderful little coffee shop. I went alone later in the afternoon and it was quite pleasant. The dim lighting, coffee smell, and extra squishy chairs and couches, offer a warm and inviting atmosphere. I ordered a chia tea latte which, although good, was pretty spicy for chia tea. It took be about 3-5 minutes to get my order and there was 2 orders ahead of me, so the baristas are pretty speedy and efficient. I would absolutely recommend hitting this spot for a little pick-me-up. read more

Vertical doesn't have same caring environment since they moved across street. Customer service just not as friendly. Inside design is beautiful though. Coffee still good quality, matcha seemed weak. read more

Formerly Broast Coffee Co, this is a name change and they are moving across the street. Still amazing coffee and friendly service! read more

Great coffee! We each had a caramel latte. It was well balanced and had a good strong caramel flavor without being overly sweet. The shop was cozy and clean, the staff were exceptionally nice. I lived everything about this shop. (And we travel coast to coast trying coffee shops along the way). We'll definitely be back. read more

I'm in town visiting a friend and this place was recommended. Costumer service is great and the workers are super friendly, not to mention the coffee is amazing. I really like that the music was coming from a record player. That really gave the place a subtle yet personal touch to it. All in all a great place to stop. read more

Average coffee. Beans are fresh but weren't out of this world for me. Milk was frothed too hot. Nice indoor atmosphere. Great for hanging out or working. Customer service was good. Super cool to see this coffee shop pop up in this small town. Hope they do well. read more

Great coffee and place to chat and relax! Today's special is the Leprechano with Irish Creme and in house made caramel. Sweetie Pies are while the last each day muffins, cookies, and pies! Buy your own beans, syrups, and Dust powders as well. read more

This coffee shop is our stop on the way to the donut shop around the corner! We like everything about this place! I enjoy the specials that they have! Each time we've been in here I've gotten a different kind of flavored latte & they've been great! Their regular plain coffee is great too! read more

Great new space that is clean and modern. Coffee menu is diverse with nice balanced flavors. The Captain Jack was a hit.

A friend had sent us a couple bags of the Espresso coffee as a gift. I can't believe how good it was! I just started the second bag and now found myself on the website ordering more, plus buying some sample bags to see what else they have in store. We brewed it in an electric percolator and it was so smooth. My mother wants a bag as well. Thank you!! read more

Honestly, I love the staff and the friendly environment here. Plus they make all of their own syrups and they have some of the most creative seasonal lattes. The specialty menu changes every month, so there is always something new to try. read more

Came here about a week ago (I'm late I know). I ordered a cold brew and it was DELICIOUS! My boyfriend got an americano and he said it was also delicious. They have really cute merchandise and a bunch of other things on the menu I can't wait to try. The staff is very friendly and they have an AMAZING vinyl collection (not for sell I do t think). Coming back for sure! Trying the homemade horchata or lavender lemonade next time. read more

Broast has hit their groove. This is now, by far, the best coffee in Cookeville. Want an inventive coffee drink? Keep an eye on the specials. These are not your average milk-shakes passing as coffee drinks at Starbucks. But most importantly, if you value great coffee, this is your place in Cookeville. They roast the beans in house, and they own it. The espresso isn't burnt and hungry for sugary mixes. The vibe is cool, and they have some decent breads and cinnamon rolls (sourdough base), and cookies. Be modern and nut-free, get your drink with oatmilk. read more

Update: Best locally roasted coffee around Cookeville. We always buy our whole bean coffee here and haven't been disappointed. The Ethiopia and Columbia roasts are especially good. They have expanded their drink menu since my first review and now have espresso. They also have local bread for sale which is delicious! The roasters, baristas, and owner are all very nice and helpful. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Cider was BOMB. Barista was super friendly :) Dark roast drip was DARK! Super cute joint. read more

Good people. Good matcha. Good service. Lovely ambiance. Good value. Hope they start offering fresh-baked, gluten-free, vegan goodies soon!

We were in town for the day and I decided to grab a coffee on our way out. I came across Vertical Coffee Company and I'm so glad I did! The baristas were so welcoming, friendly and helpful! I ended up getting the chocolate cold brew which was made with their house syrup, giving it a chocolate flavor without too much sweetness. Next time, I'm really looking forward to trying one of the gourmet lattes! read more

I enjoy their variety of drinks and how they change each month. I don't love their pastries but everything else is a 10/10!

I am TOTALLY hooked on the Sumatra Full City blend!! Oh my!! So DELICIOUS...lol...makes me not hate my alarm clock so much! I had an iced "Java the Nut"...because, why wouldn't you?! Unique flavor & not sickeningly sweet! Have you tried their chicken salad??? I can't wait to go back!! read more

Great coffee! I have had their coffee locally, as well as their grains added to Red Silo Brewing Company's coffee-flavored beers. The owners clearly have a passion for obtaining good coffee and grinding and roasting the grains. This business is a coffee roastery, so don't expect the cappuccino and latte styles that you see at places like Starbucks and Poets Coffee (locally). Although from my understanding, they do distribute grains to Poets. They do sell coffee and grains at this location. Coffee is cheap -- $3 per glass. There is not a whole lot of seating at the moment -- one set of sofas and chairs plus a row of stools at the front windows. read more

Stopped by after being told about this place by a contractor and so glad we did. The bean used was outstanding and drew me back a few times more. I was told by others it know as Kevbo and it's a blean of Columbian and Guatemala beans. It is wonderful. Now if I just knew this for a fact and the mixing ration I'd be buying both beans and using it at home too. We shall return when in the area read more

Super good coffee, and nice employees! I got a iced cold brew coffee that had thyme and brown sugar and matcha, it was amazing! They told me they make all their syrups in house. I love that . Also- they had oat milk etc. read more

Very good coffee. It keeps your energy constant for the whole day. There is no energy crush throughout the day.

I am BEYOND PUMPED that this awesome coffee spot is only 1/4 mile away from my house. The employees are friendly, cheerful and have great recommendations if you don't know what you want. The menu is simple, yet has options and everything I've tried is delicious. GO GET CAFFEINATED! read more
