"The kindest staff in Nashville can be found on Charlotte Avenue, serving tea and goodwill at the Cafe at Thistle Farms. The cafe is part of the beloved local non-profit Thistle Farms, which is dedicated to supporting and uplifting women who’ve been victims of addiction, prostitution, or trafficking. The Cafe’s tea service is an extension of that mission, offering tea services “with love and intention” for groups sized one to ten Monday through Saturday from 1 p.m.-3 p.m. It’s also a great value at $30 for six bites of savories and sweets, plus tea for the table. Make sure to book in advance." - Ellen Fort
