8th & Roast

The flavor of coffee here is a must! I highly recommend coming and get a cup. Very kind and friendly staff! Thank you from your friends at ETSC!!

Amazing coffee! Coming from Australia and a good coffee culture we've found an equivalent in Nashville!.. great coffee here! The cinnamon rolls and muffins are a winner too! We will return!

Great beverages at this busy and vibrant coffee house on 8th Street. The lively atmosphere adds to the experience, making it a perfect spot to grab a drink and enjoy the buzz.

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE! I’m going to start by saying my friend and i have both been long-term baristas and we understand the industry, both how to make drinks and also how to treat guests. My friend and i came to 8th and roast to treat ourselves after working hard all morning. The staff was completely unwelcoming and while there were plenty of people at tables with their drinks, there was not a line so there was no reason for this. We both got matchas, which i understand may not be their specialty, but this was literally an 8 dollar cup of oat milk. There was not a hint of matcha in this drink— not even in the coloring. It tasted like oat milk with ice in it. I was treating myself— i can’t usually afford buying a drink (as aforementioned, im a barista😭). I don’t blame the baristas, but i DO blame the management for not training them better. I wish i could get my money back. Super bummed.

Got a peppermint mocha latte and a cinnamon roll. Quick service. Latte tasted as I would expect. Tried macadamia nut milk with it. Cinnamon roll was good. Recommend getting warmed up. Wonderful atmosphere and staff.

Headed south through Nashville on my way home from Louisville last weekend, this place was the perfect stop for a quick pick-me-up for the last leg of the drive. I was pleased to find them open fairly late in the afternoon and on a Sunday no less. Even better was the mostly-maneuverable nearby free parking lot! Not a ton of space, but a spot for me - hurray! :) After a short walk over, I found the inside of the shop to be bright, slightly industrial, airy, and comfortable, with several people clearly hanging out, working on laptops, or just catching up. Seems like a good place for all of those needs! On the quieter side than some community coffee shops the day I visited, so perhaps extra good for getting work done. One drawback was I looked for a restroom and didn't find one easily. There might be one available to the public but I wasn't quite desperate enough to ask. I knew pretty quickly I wanted one of their seasonal specialities. I asked the barista taking my order which of a couple yummy-sounding drinks was the sweetest as I like my lattes on the dessert side. He said he hadn't tried any of them! I thought that was pretty funny. No big deal. I wound up choosing an iced "We Were in Paris," which had hazelnut, cinnamon, and brown sugar. It was nicely balanced, pleasantly sweet, with lots of cinnamon flavor. I enjoyed it. Pictures showed yummy looking pastries, but they were understandably somewhat picked over by late afternoon. I wound up with a chocolate chip muffin for a snack. It was decent but a little dry. I would've liked it if someone had offered to heat it up for me but there were folks waiting behind me and I didn't want to be an inconvenience so I just took it as it was. The crumble and drizzle of glaze on top was nice. All in all, could definitely see a return stop in the future. Enjoyed my brief time here and certainly enjoyed my drink!

Wanted to love this place as the location is convenient and our coffee was delicious. However, the baristas were rude, unwelcoming, and looked as if they’d rather be anywhere else. The barista making our coffee practically slammed our drinks down with an eye roll as she angrily called out our orders. I was hoping for a better experience but this definitely doesn’t make me feel like coming back.

This is a wonderful little coffee shop to get some work done! Plenty of people on laptops, studying, or just catching up over a delicious cup of coffee with a friend. There are outlets available with some of the seating against the walls. They also have large tables if you want to work on a project with a larger group. The windows really let the sun shine through, so it’s not too dark like some other small coffee shops. The drinks were great. The specialty drinks are on the right side of the coffee shop on a blackboard-don’t miss ‘em!
