I worked in the specialty coffee industry in Nashville for almost 10 years from barista to upper management. Trust me, I know coffee. These are the places worth your time & money.

East Nashville
My buddy owns this little cutie. Not only is it absolutely delicious, but he's the friendliest person you may ever meet. It's also inside of a sauna & cold plunge wellness practice so stay & check that out too.
Subliminal Coffee Company
A Nashville staple. They've regularly roasted some of the best brews in Nashville. Not to mention, they also offer classes!
Crema Coffee Roasters
Super cute shop! & they serve the best hot tea in Nashville from High Garden!
Flora + Fauna
This adorable little coffee cart is nestled inside the owner's husband's drum shop. But don't let its size fool you! The coffee is elite!
Weak Coffee
Big fan of the East location, which also serves alcohol. My favorite is the weekend when they do beignets & irish coffee.
Dose Coffee
This is so cute & cozy! It's part coffee shop & part thrift. Grab a coffee & check out some vintage furniture, decor, & clothes. The sweetest staff & yummy lattes!
Earl at Paloma
West Nashville
I'm drinking black coffee if I go here. They just always have awesome pour-overs on bar. But you'll never regret a latte here either!
Sump Coffee
What began as a walk-up coffee window has grown in size & popularity. Definitely recommend the West location for seating. Most known for their Honeybear Latte, but I will forever miss the Miso Caramel.
Elegy Coffee
South Nashville
I am solely adding them for their breakfast. This is every teenage girls favorite spot, tbh, & it's soooo tourist-y. Personally, I think it's super overrated, but the lattes are fun & sweet.
Frothy Monkey
This is one of my favorite shops to chill in. The vibes are immaculate, the coffee is cozy, the cookies are fire.
Americano Lounge
This place came out of nowhere for me. I had driven by it a million times. Not only is it adorable, but it's delicious!
cafe babu
Maybe the most inclusive coffee shop to ever exist with the friendliest staff in the world. This little whimsical haven holds a special place in my heart forever.
