Let me be the first to tell you that I am NOT a food or coffee critic, but here is my thoughts on all the coffee I consumed while in Nashville.
Over the course of seven weeks in Nashville, TN, I drank a total of 59 cups of coffee - yes, my O.C.D. is kicking in and I'm screaming at myself that I came out with an odd number. Anyways, 34 of those delicious cups were purchased at various coffee shops all around Tennessee. Here is what I thought of them, along with some pictures:
Tin Cup Coffee - visited three times
600 Medical Park Dr, Madison, TN 37115
Iced Caramel Latte (8/10)
- Smokey flavor of the coffee, very smooth
- Perfect blend of caramel
Caramel Cappuccino (6/10)
- A+ on latte art, but missing the flavor I desired from my first time.
Butterscotch Iced Latte (5/10)
- The first few sips are the best, but after that it just tastes like a butterscotch candy you would find at the bottom of your grandma's purse.
Frothy Monkey - visited five times (three times for coffee)
2509 12th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37204 or 235 5th Ave N, Nashville, TN 37219
Iced Garden Party (8.5/10)
- A great drink that I would recommend to anyone.
Iced Turtle Latte (7/10)
- The more I drank this, the more I didn't like it, but the first time I purchased it - it was a solid 9 out of 10.
Three Brothers Coffee - visited once
2813 West End Ave, Nashville, TN 37203
The Golden Axe Latte (2/10)
- This had GINGER in it. 1/10, DON'T RECOMMEND GINGER IN YOUR COFFEE.
Drug Store/ Barista Parlor (MY FAVORITE) - visited five times
200 4th Ave N, Nashville, TN 37219 (inside the Noelle)
Iced Whiskey Caramel (12/10)
- I have gotten this three times so far and I will continue to go back and get more.
Bourbon Vanilla (8/10)
- Not bad, no hate, just not as great as the Whiskey Caramel.
Dunn Brothers Coffee - visited once
401 Church St, Nashville, TN 37219
*There is actually a location in Friendswood, TX as well*
Creamy Coconut Nirvana (8/10)
- A great drink to complement my Tuscan Turkey sandwich.
The Well - visited twice
147B 4th Ave N, Nashville, TN 37219 or 690 East Old Hickory Boulevard, Brentwood, TN 37027
Tennessee Molasses (Dr. Pepper infused coffee) (11/10)
- Odd but you can't stop drinking it. Watch my YouTube video of my family trying it when they came to visit.
Pinewood Social - visited once
33 Peabody St, Nashville, TN 37210
Crema Cuban (10/10)
- Addictive.
Revelator Coffee - visited once
1817 21st Ave S, Nashville, TN 37212
Nitro Cold Brew (4/10)
- It tastes better in very small quantities, not as a full glass
Killebrew Coffee - visited three times
401 11th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37203
Iced Cuban Latte (10/10)
- Extremely similar tastes to the Crema Cuban at Pinewood Social. Once again, very addictive - and expensive (welcome to The Gulch).
Milk & Honey - visited twice (once for coffee)
214 11th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37203
Burnt Sugar Latte (6/10)
- EXTREMELY sweet, but for those who enjoy a little bit of coffee in their milk and flavored syrup, knock yourself out.
Bongo's Cafe - visited twice (once for coffee)
2007 Belmont Blvd, Nashville, TN 37212
Iced Caramel Latte (6/10)
- A classic choice, but not the best by any means. The flavor of the coffee was bitter, but not in a good way, more so that the beans just weren't fresh anymore.
Billy Goat Coffee - visited once
3690 N Mt Juliet Rd #100, Mt Juliet, TN 37122
Iced Caramel Latte (7/10)
- Again, I went with a classic, but the syrups and beans that a shop uses has a lot to do with the flavors you get. The coffee was just too bland for my tastes here.
