Our favorite spot in East Nashville to have drinks before dinner. The patio is hard to beat on a beautiful night. There is also a wine by the bottle wine bar on the side of the building as well! You can also come here and order Roberta's Pizza at the food window while you enjoy your drinks.

Breakfast/Brunch
We love going for a chill breakfast here - but go early or expect to wait. The portions are pretty large you will not leave hungry! Also stopping in for a quick coffee (highly recommend the iced oat milk latte) is something we do quite frequently since it's about 7 minutes by car from our home.

This place will have a line out the door for their homemade breads, pastries and sandwiches. They also serve coffee! It's not a place you eat (very small) inside rather hang outside if you're lucky to snag one of the tables or take to-go while you walk elsewhere in the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood.

This checks all the boxes - great food, beautiful atmosphere and lovely vibe. Going for dinner is extra magical due to all of the candles in the space! In warmer seasons the patio is huge and very nice! Great for date nights or groups. Fun fact we also did our rehearsal dinner here in the back room which is spectacular if you're looking to host a private dinner or occasion of any kind.

A MUST for dinner and highly recommend a reservation in advance - it's in an old house and so charming. Great patio for warmer weather! The team here recently traveled to Paris for culinary inspo as well. It's always a good time. + a good wine list for those that enjoy!

This place will remind you of a New York restaurant - since I lived there for about a year, I love that feeling. Handcut pasta, inventive menu, beautiful ambiance. Truffle! You will have a wonderful meal here - reservations needed on Tok.

It's a walk up window in the Edgehill neighborhood with fabulous coffee and little baked goods. Our ideal morning would be grabbing a coffee here then walking over to get brunch at Barcelona or Sadies.

If you love smoothies + smoothie bowls this is the place for you! They also have incredible iced coffee drinks. Go-to orders are: What's shakin' with house milk or the iced caramel latte with house milk - trust. :) While there, ask if they have any Morsels baked goods ( @morselnashville ) she is legendary throughout Nashville you would never know her stuff is vegan and gluten free. If you can get your hands on a cinnamon roll or donut we highly recommend it! She posts on her Insta-stories where she is dropping off at daily.
