Okay, now it's hard to pick a favorite coffee shop in the nations. With three great choices, I thought I must try all three. White Bison immediately impressed me as I pulled in to a huge open parking lot! Yes! The inside is also big and open, with plenty of seating. There's upstairs and outdoor seating as well! I like the simplistic design and decor. Plus it all smells new. It's a pleasure just to be inside. I was greeted as I walked in. After scanning the menu, I couldn't resist tying their signature drink, the White Bison mocha, basically a white chocolate mocha. It came out with a perfect layer of foam. They also have food options and something for everyone. I settled on a bacon, egg and cheese bagel and it was big, too! Satisfying. Nothing crazy extraordinary but not overpriced like most competitors. The drink and the bagel cost me a little over $9. (There is no tipping option when you pay, just a little bin for dollar bills) I heard the staff talking and apparently they are still waiting for their mugs to come in. This is the reason for all the drinks in to go cups now. It's nice to know they will soon be using mugs! I also heard a bit about the concept of this place. More locations will be popping up and I think the idea is to have a drive thru window, and a gas station area too. This can allow guests to fill up, come inside for a rest, or just drive thru. For now White Bison is a great addition to the nations, and to Nashville. Friendly and prompt service, quality menu, and not overcrowded like every other coffee shop in town. I definitely recommend popping in, it was quiet and plenty of space to get some work done. Cheers! read more

I've visited White Bison a number of times now, usually on my way home from an overnight shift (which should tell you how much I like the spot, since it's about 10 min out of the way(. Amazing pastries, which I've been told are made in house. Get the BlackBerry and Creme Fan. You can't got wrong. I haven't tried any of their house brews yet - I can however, comment on the lattes, which have been amazing. They go seasonally here, so you may come back in a month or two to find that the Beehive Latte you tried in January is no longer on the menu (Yes, that's a real drink. And yes, it was amazing. Not too sweet, rich and creamy, relaxing for a cool Saturday or Sunday morning). Anyway, I like this place. The baristas are very friendly. If you want to tip, you'll need to bring some cash with you, if you are a chronic card carrier like me. They don't have the option to leave a tip on your card, unfortunately. Check them out! read more

I just moved to the area & had never been to a White Bison before. I don't know about you but I always get such anxiety before trying a new coffee place if I don't know their menu & I'm not sure what kind of iced coffee is available (when you have a regular order it's hard to branch out ‍) this location was so low key, I told the barista i'd never been there i'm not sure what to get etc etc. BEYOND HELPFUL. So pleasant to work with. And asked me so many times if I wanted anything else, and to let her know if I liked how it came out. This may be my new regular spot. Highly recommend! read more

White Bison is a great new coffee shop in a part of town that's quickly shaping up as "the next big thing." Pros: (+) There's ample, free off-street parking right in front of the shop. (+) Lots of seating, outlets for charging, and fast/reliable wi-fi - all pluses for a study or work session! (+) Decent coffee. I'm no coffee expert/snob, so I'll leave it there. (+) Friendly, welcoming staff. (+) Low-key vibe; not at all crowded. Sometimes, places like Fido or Frothy Monkey can be a little too chaotic for me to focus and get stuff done. For those times, White Bison is a solid alternative. Cons: (-) Food options are okay (pre-packaged foods, or some biscuits, light fare, etc.) but if you're in the mood for better, more filling food options, I'd look elsewhere. (-) While it's new, neat, minimalist, and well-polished (and yes, I know those are all positive descriptors!) it feels a little too 'corporate' or 'chain-like.' That might not matter to you, but personally, I like coffee shops that have a bit more of a cozy, 'homey' feel (like the 12 South Frothy, for example!) Overall, though, White Bison is a really great new addition to this neighborhood. As places with few crowds, easy parking, and reasonable prices become an increasing rarity in Nashville, keep this solid option on your radar. read more

Went here for a quick breakfast. Food was cold in the middle and was surely frozen/reheated. The staff was nice and knowledgeable about the menu. To be fair this is a coffee spot and I went there to get food. It has a great atmosphere and plenty of space for seating. Parking is easy, prices aren't bad and I would go back if it was with the group. Not my first choice but for a low stakes morning get together it gets the job done. read more

This is probably my new favorite go to study spot! There is an actual parking lot so you won't have to worry about struggling to find a parking spot. The interior is also very spacious, as it has two floors. There are a good amount of seating options spaced out on the first floor. I ordered the caramel macchiato and I loved it! The sweetness to coffee level was just right! It also helps that the coffee is artistically on point. (There are definitely enough instagram spots and perfect natural lighting here) The reason that I gave white bison four stars is because of the limited lighting. The lighting fixtures are very limited so the place does get pretty dark after the sun sets. read more

WHY I CAME: My friend and I came here for coffee and some light breakfast because I got a coupon in the mail for a free small coffee and a free pastry with beverage purchase. ABOUT THE BUSINESS: When we entered the coffee shop around 9:15, it was empty except for the baristas! So we started chatting. Turns out that White Bison is Tri Star Energy's move to break into the coffee industry. Tri Star Energy also owns Twice Daily gas stations, so look out for White Bison add-ons at your local Twice Daily -- if you live in Middle Tennessee, that is. That said, this location is the only freestanding White Bison location. THE FOOD & DRINK: I ordered a cortado and a butter croissant, which I enjoyed. I wouldn't come here just for the food, but the cortado was exactly what I was expecting. I wish they would have served the drinks in ceramic instead of paper cups, since it's more environmentally friendly and seems to taste better in ceramic. At least the plastic plate for the food was reusable. SERVICE: It goes without saying that the baristas were friendly and polite. I really enjoyed their company. FINAL RECOMMENDATION: I'd recommend this spot for working more so than for just hanging out. The layout is more conducive to plugging in your laptop and zoning out, rather than relaxing and chatting. read more

Absolutely love the vibe of this place. They have plenty of room to work and good prices on quality coffee.

Love the coffee shop but hours need to be updated online. Y'all are only open till 7. Not 9. Inconvenient for other to have the wrong hours on yelp and google. read more

Have given their cold brew multiple chances. It always tastes like it's a nitro brew that is completely flat. Terrible.

Fun spot, many great seating options. Cool vibe, great place to work or catch up with friends. Brett made me an iced caramel mocha that wrecked me for all others - damn him! LOL! Highly recommend this place, give them a try! read more

New place!!!! I'm really liking it. It's not a hipster as the neighborhood but it's good coffee .... really good. They aren't making things from premixed milkshakes !!! There using Coffee and ice and milk and blending it... that's rare these days ... Star bucks is so automated so I really look for places like this ... it's my summer coffee spot! Good job wb! read more

Great coffee - had the Caramel Macchiato-and the hot chicken sandwich. Odd location on the back side of a gad station. Passed by it several times. Worth coming around to get it. read more

I was in need of a study spot and this hidden gem is perfect. Nashville has a lot of coffee spots but few of them offer good coffee AND food all in one spot. I also appreciate the covered outdoor area with ceiling fans read more

I like this coffee shop because of the coffee (duh), clean establishment, plays excellent music, the location and the staffs. Most importantly, I like this coffee shop because it is not Starbucks :-) I would recommend their Latte with Vanilla flavor - not too sweet but sweet enough to tickle your taste buds. read more

With the option of 6 coffee shops in the neighborhood, I always opt for White Bison. The atmosphere is quiet with plenty of seating, perfect for those who want to study or work remotely thanks to their free WiFi. Parking is a breeze and plentiful which is a bonus. They have a pretty good quick food selection fruit cheese or chicken salad for those on the go or you can opt for one my favorites, the breakfast bagel. Their lattes are pretty damn tasty too. You can find any of these things at any coffee shop right? What keeps me coming back though is the staff. They remember my name, genuinely ask me how my day is and always appear happy. Want an unpretentious, friendly but quiet coffee shop to unwind at? This is it. So thank you Emily, Michael and Ashley. You guys are awesome and keep me coming back thanks to your amazing customer service. read more

This place is great! I would be a regular if I lived in the area but I only stopped off the side of the freeway on a road trip. It has great coffee, friendly staff, and cute decor. If you're a student, this is the perfect spot to study because they have a lot of tables and chairs, along with a comfy loft. read more

I had their white chocolate coffee drink. Similar to white chocolate mocha at Starbucks. Very sweet but loved it. They also have a great selection of fresh prepackaged deli items next to the register. I've gotten the Tuscan chicken wrap a few times now and it's really delicious! I also got one of their salads which also didn't disappoint. The only thing that bothers me is that their website doesn't list their full menu. They really need to add that feature. I like to plan ahead before I get there to order quickly when I arrive. read more

The shop was really cute on the inside. A girlfriend and I stopped by for a latte and chocolate croissant after visiting Project 615. Both were delicious. The only negative was that the staff wasn't very welcoming. Since we hadn't been before it took us some time to browse the menu and they just stood seemingly annoyed or impatient. Rushed to get the first thing I saw. Just wish they would've been more welcoming. Other than that I'd go back again and hope for a better welcome. read more

Yet another good coffee shop in Nashville! I really liked this place's iced chai! They also have plenty of seating - outside and two floors of seating inside which is accompanied by tons of parking space which helps a lot. I also thought the staff were super friendly. The only downside was that the lighting wasn't really bright on the first floor so it seemed super dark once the sun set and that the prices a bit high. read more

Stumbled upon this place as our first choice was packed, and so glad we did! The breakfast sandwiches & coffees are AMAZING!!! Everything was fresh and delish! Sausage was homemade quality. This will now be our first choice for breakfast! read more

This is hands down my favorite coffee shop in Nashville. Yes, you heard that right! Nashville is HUGE for coffee but White Bison has never let me down. Their coffee is cheaper than average and quality is far above. This particular location is never overwhelming busy and is always a great study/work spot. The vibe and aesthetic brings me back every time (alongside an iced hazelnut latte of course) read more

My family and I discovered this place as an alternative to Starbucks and were going literally every other day to get all 4 of us a drink and also some treats like pecan rolls and so forth. We were spending a lot of money there. Then my wife brought home my favorite - a Nutty Bison - and it was made badly. It was literally undrinkable. I tried but could only get half of it down before I gave up. So I saved the half I didn't drink in the fridge and took it back to their location the next day (Madison, AL 10/8/2020 5:30pm), which is a decent drive away from my house, to ask them to remake it like they do at Starbucks when something isn't right. A young man came to the window and I told him what had happened, but he didn't believe me. I didn't have a receipt because my wife had picked the drinks up the day before, but I had the ACTUAL DRINK in my hand - or half of it anyway. He told me he wouldn't remake it. He said "I don't know when or if you bought it here." (It had the White Bison Coffee logo on the side of the cup and was obviously from their shop - I don't think there is another White Bison anywhere around us.) I told him my family wasn't going to keep buying drinks if they were poorly made and undrinkable and he just said "I can't remake that for you without a receipt" in a very unfriendly way. He was not wearing a mask btw - in the middle of the Covid crisis, which was not cool - I was wearing MY mask in my vehicle. I told him he was going to lose all of my family's business due to this and he just said something like "OK" - he obviously could care less. I was really mad that he wouldn't correct the lousy drink that we paid for when we had been giving them so much of our business. I felt like I had just driven across town to be accused of trying to scam them for a lousy $4 drink. So I am no longer a fan and my family will go back to giving all of our business to Starbucks or a few other coffee shops in the area. I encourage you to stay away from White Bison Coffee because their customer service sucks and they could care less about fixing their mistakes or making their customers happy. read more

Great coffee, lots of space, friendly staff. I love that they do $1 drip coffee if you bring in your own mug. Amazing! And so good for the environment. read more

They served 6 people before me and I ended up waiting over 20 mins for some coffee that wasn't even that good.

Love their coffee! And the space is with good lighting from outside and inside. A good place for working, meeting friends or just enjoying being with yourself and a cup of coffee! read more

Megan and Miranda (not sure if I am spelling these correctly) made our day! My partner and I walked in two a pretty empty White Bison, struck up a conversation with these two ladies and had some really wonderful talks. They were so happy that we asked about their day, or even said hello back, which tells me a lot about the people today. Just slow down, some people make for great conversation. Thank you Megan and Miranda for the delicious coffee and smiles you put on our faces! We will be back, to THIS store in particular. read more

I am having a bad experience this afternoon. First of all, the late I ordered tastes like warm almond milk. I couldn't take more than 3 sips. Secondly, I came here to work and the staff is so loud. They are just hanging out in the corner talking loud and laughing like high school girls while 2 other people in here are trying to work. When I first walked in i was happy to see that there was not a lot of ppl here. Now, I realize it's because it's not a good vibe at all. Manager needs to do a better job with staff. I'm leaving now and headed to Frothy Monkey. read more

While the furniture is lovely and the chairs comfy this place feels like a nice Twice Daily. Nothing is fresh and there is a bunch of chips and candy etc available like at a gas station. Three stars because the space is good for study or work. read more

I visited white bison with a friend a few weekends ago. What a cute place! This coffee shop isn't homey or cozy, but a little more industrial. They have a ton of seating plus they have a huge free parking lot. Score! My honey bee latte was delicious--not too sweet but still flavorful. Next time I want to try the pourover. The menu was a little confusing... I would have liked a list of syrup flavors. Will definitely be back! read more

The cutest place! They have a convenience store in it that is so useful! The coffee is so good and they sell food too! The upstairs is super cozy and has a fun place to sit outside in front of a fire. Great spot to get coffee and do some work read more

Slooooooow. 30 minutes to get 2 coffees and 2 breakfast sandwiches. Only 1 customer was in front of me. Employees were complaining about other customers and their love lives. Messed up my order when I finally got it. White Bison on Harding has a lot quicker service and happy, kind employees. read more

Great coffee. Great location. Tons of space to work in the cozy loft upstairs. The baristas a super friendly. Try their chai latte it's delicious. read more

$2 tuesdays are legit!! plus, super friendly staff and a spacious, brightly lit spot to get work done. It isn't particularly quiet, but having earphones in (and a Spotify playlist to jam to, since their wifi is great!) takes care of that. Definitely coming here again and would recommend! read more

Baristas are friendly and ON TOP OF IT. The feel is a little corporate, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I came in right before a rush and they made their way through like champs. There's an interesting selection of things for purchase, and it functions sort of as a combination café/diner/quick stop, with breakfast and lunch sandwiches, a huge coffee menu, sweets, premade salads etc, and half the place is a convenience store! I just got a cafe au lait and a cheese and cracker pre packaged snack, but the coffee was delicious and the milk was perfectly steamed and my entire order was less than $8!! I'm from a small town with lots of mom-and-pop cafés, but this place made me feel just as welcome. Next time I'm in Nashville and in need of a quick bite and pick me up, I'll be here. read more

This is my favorite coffee shop in Nashville. I grab coffee before work several times a week, and even though there are three other coffee shops within a half-mile radius, I always go here. The baristas are always extremely nice and easy to talk to. Whenever I ask for a drink suggestion, they always come in clutch and give me the perfect drink I didn't even know I wanted. It's also an awesome, quiet place to get work done. They don't have much for food, but if you're looking for coffee, then this is the right place. read more

This place is so delicious! I got a coupon in the mail and figured I would try it out. I ordered a medium iced soy latte with hazelnut. This is the best iced drink I've ever had! It is on the pricier side at $4 for a medium, but it's worth the money. The space is large to do work on your computer, or sit and enjoy your coffee or pastry. I also got a cinnamon coffee cake muffin, and that was also delicious! Best coffee place is Nashville! read more

This place happened to be around the block from our Airbnb. Beautifully done, very simple yet all the right details. The guy who rung us up was very friendly and knowledgeable on all of the different coffees they sell. Plenty of tables and space to come catch up with friends or get some work done. Wish I was from the area because it's a great new spot that has something for every coffee and tea lover. read more

This used to be my go to spot to do work until I moved to a new area. I still miss it!! I work remotely and there is an awesome room upstairs that has a chill vibe and is conducive for getting work done. As for drinks, my go to is the iced beehive latte with almond milk! It's sweet and refreshing and is a great treat when I'm getting work done. read more

My first visit today to white Bison on my way back to work. Fast, friendly, with no line at all!!:-). They are new, so not too busy yet. Everything clean and neat and new. Just that alone would be awesome, but the coffee was great too!! The guys behind the counter handed me some promo coupons for free coffee to give to friends too!! I figure a review would help them out, like it has for my business. I give this a big thumbs up! (New location at the new gas station on South corner of 96 and 65 in Franklin, very easy to turn right/pull out into traffic if you are headed east on 96 or south on 65...but don't try to turn left on 96, that is basically impossible, and is the downside to the new location). read more
