Coffee Shops

Wonderful place (good atmosphere) with a mission to help women survivors of trafficking, prostitution, and addiction. The cafe features delicious coffee, tea, pastries, and food items (the homemade chicken pot pie is especially good!).

Just south of downtown, Crema is probably the most favored coffee shop by locals that I can think of. The inside space is a bit small, but I have had nothing but good experiences. Here's a recent review from Google: "Toronto visitor here - This cafe was highly recommended by a local and definitely lived up to expectations. Get here early though as it does get quite busy."

Fido has been a mainstay cafe/coffeeshop for locals and Vanderbilt students for as long as I can remember. The place is large, but nearly always buzzing with people - so lines can be long, but service is generally pretty fast. If you find yourself in Hillsboro Village on 21st (just south of Vanderbilt's campus), consider stopping in.

Breweries

Nashville is well known for its music, but it’s also full of well regarded craft breweries.
Probably the most well known local brewing company in town. Visit the taphouse for a great selection of their beers, all of which are A- to A+ in my book. The location is easy to get to, and close to a lot of food options as well.

Nashville’s first craft brewery recently underwent a makeover. It closed its restaurant on West End but kept the taproom at its brewing site (called The Taphouse) and added a food truck—known as the B-Stone Bus—that serves up old favorites from the brewpub. You can also find Blackstone brews at a ton of restaurants and bars in town as well as bottled in stores.

Pizza

My favorite pizza place in town, DeSano serves Pizza Napoletana in Midtown. The pizza is made in plain sight and it’s served on huge cooking sheets. DeSano takes the tradition of pizza very seriously by importing ingredients from a specific region of Italy. From the flour to the mozzarella to the ovens, this is about as authentic as one can find in Nashville (or anywhere that's not Italy!).

Margot Café is a petite and beautiful restaurant in East Nashville with brick walls contrasted with white tablecloths and polished silverware. The cuisine is French and Italian inspired, allowing one to forget that they are dining in a quintessential Southern town. The menu changes daily due to the chef’s liking and seasonal ingredients. While the menu changes frequently, the high quality of food and execution is constant.

It doesn’t sound like it would work, but City House has successfully blended Italian dishes with Southern ingredients and tastes. With simple pasta entrée dishes mixed with Southern buttermilk, this restaurant has creative flair, set against a chic environment in Germantown.
