Americano Lounge

A definite diamond in the rough. The coffee was quite good. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and, thanks to a previous reviewer, knew to ask about leaving the mustard off. The restaurant really needs to list all ingredients on the menu if for no other reasons than allergy safety and liability. The food was good and the atmosphere comfortable. The whole place gives off an old world vibe, but manages to do so without being pretentious. I found it odd that, as a coffee shop, it didn’t open until 9am. Overall, a nice place to stop by if you’re in the area.

The ambiance is amazing! Coffee is delicious! I have had their Fitzgerald, highly recommend, the one in this picture tho is the pepper mocha and that is also amazing! Great vibe! Love it! It’s relaxing and chill and great spot to get work done in a fancy elegant way! It’s my favorite spot!

Amazing drinks and atmosphere! Jules was wonderful, and the coffee flight was delicious. Came back in that night and the next morning for a proper Sazerac and Irish coffee, respectively. Walked into DJ Shadow bumping on the subwoofer, so I knew it was quality. Definitely suggest checking it out if you're in the area.

My friends and I went tonight for the first time and it was incredible. There were only two men there and obviously at times were VERY busy but they were still so friendly and everything was wonderful. Loved every bit of it.

I have been coming here several times a week since I moved to my place in February. However, this has been the first time I have been here for the poetry night. I was sitting until the line got a little shorter. I was outraged because the lines were so long, and I (as well as an African American man beside me with dreads) was told by one of the workers to get up and buy something or I can't sit there. I have never been treated like this ever in any establishment. It was a gentleman in a blue shirt checking people out. Meanwhile, the line has been wrapped around the door since I arrived. I then went to speak with him (Urbe) to clear some things up. He said he assumed I was with the black guy that had been there for a few hours. However, I had just walked in, and it was the only open seat which was beside him. I will be sure to let all my neighbors at my apartment know about this place.

Cute coffee shop the atmosphere waa laid back and relaxed. Comfy chairs and a couch. Tables with chairs for groups chatting. Thr staff was very friendly and easy to chat with. I ordered a hot coffee and when I heard my ne called I walked up and stated is that mine and the gentleman asked what were thinking it would look like and i stated what I thought it was. The staff stated we will remake it, since I thought I was getting a 12oz instead of a 3oz. Lesson learned. But definitely amazing coffee will be back. Rather support local then franchise. Thank you for being close to where I'm staying

Cramped environment, but the decor is pretty cool. The americano shot didn’t taste dialed in, so maybe stick to something with more syrup or milk. Going to give it the benefit of the doubt and say we just ordered the wrong drink

Great place for coffee & snack in the morning. Plenty of seating. Good coffee roast.

The coffee here is actually worth the money. I got one of the signature lattes and the coffee flavor was strong and the sweetness was just right. It was one of the deeper and more flavorful coffees I've had in Nashville. Inside, there's a variety of seating from the bar stools to a couch to a counter and multiple tables with chairs. The ambiance inside is a mix between people socializing and hanging out and people also studying or reading a book so it is on the noisier side. For parking, you can just find street parking along the sides. I haven't had an issue trying to find parking because I have been going during off hours not during meal times.

Americano Lounge is quaint & cozy with tables, couches & lounge furniture. They have a GREAT menu with tons of selections. Parking can be tricky as there is a lot of construction going on currently, but that won't be an issue forever! Great spot to work from!

One of my favorite coffee shops in Nashville, hands down. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed--perfect for getting work done (the Wi-Fi is super reliable), diving into a good book, or catching up with friends. It's more than just a coffee shop, too--they host live events in the evenings, which gives the place a fun community vibe. The service is always quick and friendly, and the coffee never disappoints. My go-to is the Autumn Leaves oat milk latte--so good. They also sell their own beans, which are high quality and worth grabbing if you brew at home.

We walked into Americano Lounge on a Friday night and it was delightfully lowkey. Drinks were yummy and we loved the ambiance. We were with a large group of 8, so we appreciated being able to sit near the outside. I would definitely come back here for a lowkey evening or a great date spot.

Wow! This is the spot! All the best jazz players in town are out at this place! I heard one great tune after another and when musicians rotated out, new awesome ones came in. The ambiance was so refined but not stuffy. The drinks and cookie I had were amazing. I can't wait to get back there.

Fantastic. The owner was our barista and OMG this was such a great find. He made the place from scratch and it shows--nothing much from the outside but such a great coffee cafe. And my mocha--so dang good. The black and tan was also out of this world. My vegan chocolate chip cookie was a bit dry but overall very good. Not one bad thing to say--so darn good!

This is the cafe version of Rudy's Jazz bar. The plush seating and luxe ambiance is refreshing to find in Nashville. It feels more like an upscale Chicago bar or speak- easy than a Nashville coffee shop. Perfect for the Weho crowd. My favorite is the lavender latter and a table to work remotely or take a meeting at. But they do serve food and if you hang out long enough or go later in the day a great Jazz band sets up to play inside the lounge area. They also serve drinks and transition more into a bar or night spot . I've never felt rushed here. I have always had friendly baristas. Great music industry hang out for the creative entrepreneur.

We came here on a Sunday morning a few minutes after they opened and really enjoyed it. We were greeted with someone that could clearly tell we were first timers and she showed us the menu, special lattes, etc. The vibe is really relaxed jazz with upscale chairs/tables. We ordered a few things (-) Bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich Delicious, large, and priced below others (-) Cinnamon pecan muffin Small muffin but we both loved the taste and would of ordered an extra (-) Lemon blueberry torte The largest slice of torte (aka cake) I can remember being served in a long time and it was about an 8/10 (-) Autumn latte Honestly I cant remember everything in this latte, but it was really good and I'd order it again I'd definitely recommend giving them a try, oh and they are also car/motorcycle fans and do little meetups every few weeks which I think is awesome being a car enthusiast myself.

One of the Top 3 favorite spots in Nashville!!!! Absolutely great drinks, the irish coffee is SOOOO GOOD! Love the vibe and decor, and they have jazz nights. The staff is always incredible. All of them, so nice and friendly.

I absolutely loved this shop. The vibe is so cool and cozy. This also isn't just a coffeeshop, they do live events at night as well. During the day this is a great spot to hang with friends or get some work done. I came during the conversation hearts coffee crawl so I go the iced My Girl. It had little flowers on top! So cute! Much was delicious as we both ordered paninis with chips. I will definitely come back to this spot.

Americano Lounge is design inspiration! In fact, my basement is modeled after the gold and dark green color scheme. Obsessed with the smorgasbord of beverages they offer, both caffeinated and alcoholic throughout the day. My partner and I got the Smores Latte and Brown Sugar Latte, alongside a Spinach Ricotta Pastry and Blueberry Muffin. Everything was terrific, and vibes were immaculate. Come here to read a book, go on a date, or whatever you want to feel cozy doing.

The best espresso martini in Nashville! Waitstaff are nice and quick with making drinks, and the place is so cute inside as well.

Such a vibey and cute coffee shop! Got a matcha latte and drip coffee and both were great. It was a solid spot to work from for a few hours and the cashier was nice as well. We got here an 10am on Sunday and there was one parking spot but by the time we left the area had no parking and American was much more busy.

Stopped by here on an icy saturday morning to work on some personal projects. I decided to drive after the snow hit which made the roads icy (totally beside the point). After arriving, immediately walked into what is the speak-easy of cafes. This place has vibes for days. It feels like walking into a 1940's jazz lounge, and they had a great array of coffee drinks (and bloody marys) to choose from. We got one drip coffee, and one matcha latte. One thing we always appreciate is when the matcha lattes are not presweetened (this one is not). And the coffee was great. The major value at this place is the ambiance. Comfy seating, great atmostphere - the perfect place to come here to "work" with a drink or to actually get some work done. Apparently they do live music at nights, but haven't checked that out yet. Either way - show up.

Early morning coffee adventure and stumbled on this gem. It's a bit hidden but once you walk in your immediately transported back into time as if your in a jazz space. The place was well decorated and my fav decor were the jazz albums on the wall. I ordered a coffee and spinach pastry that were both so yummy! What's great is if your looking for late night coffee this place offers coffee and drinks well into the evening. Try it you won't be disappointed

Was looking for a cool coffee shop to stop into and do some work. I noticed this place was super cool looking online and decided to stop in. Parking isn't bad as there is a public parking lot down the street. When I walked in I ordered an iced coffee and a breakfast sandwich from the friendly barista. They both came out pretty quick and I loved them both. The breakfast sandwich was really good. The main reason I gave this place a 4 instead of a 5 is there is some need of touching up of furniture and decor. It's worn down and you can tell on the peeling seats and chipped furniture. I'd recommend they spend a little bit of money to touch everything up to look better! Other than that.. great coffee shop that's perfect for a place to do some work.

I had a truly disappointing experience at the Americano Lounge today, and I feel compelled to share it. I arrived at 9:59 AM for a 10 AM meeting with my business partner, who was already there. We hopped on a call for about 30 minutes, and during that time, the staff kept shoving menus in our face and repeatedly asking if we were ready to order. We were clearly on a business call, and while I intended to get coffee, I wasn't able to do so immediately. Despite this, after 30 minutes, a manager (who refused to give her name) approached us and started yelling and cursing at us, demanding we either buy something or leave. She went off about how hard it was for her to deal with "us men", claiming she had bills to pay and the "lights had to stay on." Keep in mind, we've been to this place before and spent hundreds of dollars, and I was planning on ordering coffee soon. But instead, I was harshly kicked out in the most unprofessional and rude way. I was then told to never come back and that she "remembers the faces of all her enemies". There was no consideration, no hospitality -- just anger and hostility. It was completely out of left field as well. All of a sudden I'm getting cursed out by someone who says the owner would agree with her... seriously? I've worked in customer service for over five years and have a deep understanding of the pressures that businesses face. I'm fully aware of the need to generate revenue, but this level of aggression, rudeness, and complete disregard for customer experience was totally uncalled for. I'm a paying customer, and I was made to feel unwelcome for no reason other than not ordering immediately, despite my clear intentions to do so. To make matters worse, I was shamed and belittled by the manager, who wouldn't even provide her name or the name of the business owner. It was a completely toxic environment. How can one have so much hate in them? Instead, I've since taken my business to Humphrey Street Coffee Company, where the staff is kind, welcoming, and understanding. They earned my business, and I'll be recommending them to others moving forward. Avoid this place if you're looking for a pleasant experience -- the Americano Lounge is clearly more interested in your money than in creating a positive, customer-friendly atmosphere.

My husband and I popped in here one night for a quick date. I wanted a late night latte but didn't want to deal with parking at the place downtown. Americano did not disappoint! It was a little difficult to find but that's probably it was night and our first time. The coffee was great and the Old Fashioned was excellent! Service was top notch and the cake was delicious. Seating is limited but the ambiance was so warm and earthy. Will definitely go back.

I was looking for a chill coffee shop while visiting Nashville that was close enough to Downtown but not so close it'd be busy, noisy, or over run with people and Americano Lounge was just that! I came here on a Sunday afternoon around 1245 and there were 3 people here not including the 2 employees. Unfortunately they no longer offer coffee flights and that's why I came here but I did get a shot of espresso, the "satchmo" latte, a blueberry muffin, and an espresso chocolate chip cookie The espresso shot was great! Perfect balance of flavors with a good amount of crema The latte was cool but I don't think I could taste any of the distinct flavors used to make it The blueberry muffin was moist, soft, and warmed up! The cookie was also warm, chewy, and had a good rich chocolate flavor I'd definitely recommend this place for a low key coffee meet or even just hanging out by yourself!

Grateful to find a cafe that is open late (for Nashville). Super comfy vibe and there happened to be a jazz band when I visited.

I loved that I stumbled on this Coffee Bar! The service started with a smile and helpful suggestions. The specialty latte-Southern Peach was delicious and paired well with homemade Cinnamon Roll. The ambiance was the final selling point. It was so relaxing, I Highly Recommend trying it out. You won't be disappointed.

Love this spot for a low-key, calm atmosphere. Usually there's a soft jazz band playing while you sip a coffee drink or cocktail. Definitely recommend the espresso martini. I took off a star for the seating options and no table service. It's quite a small space so you can't always find a seat. Also, you have to order at the counter and wait. Table service would be lovely. Overall, still a great spot in a very nice neighborhood.

DELICIOUS coffee. Good, clean, simple food. Decor and vibe is elegant but comfortable. Never too packed so there's always a place to post up. It's my favorite place to get work done out of office. Staff is great.

Excellent coffee!!! I really enjoy cortados there with breve. It's a little darker coffee (but not bitter!) so it pairs really well with the thicker dairy. And the staff are amazing and it's just an overall good vibe. Hoping to come in some evening and try their cocktails next!

Cute spot hidden in a warehouse district! We erre looking for some coffee plus cocktails (YES they drrve both), then found out they were going to have live music shortly after we arrived Would definitely recommend! They so have pastries, sandwiches and dessert NOTE: parking was a bit difficult, we had to park on the street and walk a bit

This was the perfect way to kick off Eid for my friend and me! The ambiance was warm and relaxing and made for a great place to stop, grab a quick bite, and catch up with a friend. It wasn't super packed and service was quick! I will certainly be going back soon.

Romantic date night spot. Coffee or drinks before you head to dinner reservations kinda place. Jazzy vibes and great cool selection of coffee, tea and liquor. Some pastries available too. Some nights they host jazz musicians and cigar lounge is available too. Gatsby the night away!

I can't wait to come back here. As the bartender said, Americano is coffee and cocktails all day so you can get a martini in the morning and a cappuccino at night. I stopped in to enjoy the Saturday night jazz. I ordered the J Berg latte, a caffeine free rooibos tea latte with a hint of warm gingery spice. The pianist and guitarist covered jazz standards like Girl From Ipanema and seemed to be having fun jamming together. This is a perfect place for a mixed group where not everyone is drinking, because the non alcoholic beverage selection is so excellent- coffee, tea, and house-made Italian sodas. I can't speak to the cocktails yet, but the menu is extensive and features modern twists on classic favorites. The cozy atmosphere makes me want to come back in the daytime with a great book. I think this would be a good place for date night, but it's such a nice environment you can enjoy it solo as well. The decor is loungey midcentury- think chesterfield sofas, Persian rugs, and nods to coffee and jazz all around. If you want to feel a little bit like you stepped into the set of Mad Men, this is your place. It's definitely my kind of place.

Very nice place for treats and jams! Love that they're open late. Definitely worth the stop in.

Great Ambiance. AWESOME COFFEE (and adult beverages). Fantastic Live Music! Highly recommended.

This place gets the blue ribbon for the coolest and coziest spot with its "speakeasy/victorian" design. I remember when this place opened and their coffee wasn't very good, but the owner has really stepped up his game! Now has solid beans and good shots, along with great food options; breakfast sandwiches and croissants are yum! Good service, good vibes! And, kickass hideaway for evening mixed drinks.

What a fun spot! We stumbled upon Americano lounge, funnily enough on our way to find another coffee spot, but this one stuck out to us, and we just had to try it! The coffees were delicious, and the baristas were so knowledgeable and helpful in helping us to make a decision! We then found out it's also a cocktail bar at night time and the menu looked incredible! We will be going back soon!

Came here after a Starbucks was closed at 10:30. This place is great to get a coffee or an alcoholic drink in a relaxed environment. On Wednesdays, they have love jazz music. So far, we have tried the J Berg tea, which is foamy and sweet. I have tried the Blood Orange Soda which gives off a tangy but good taste. I also tried the vanilla cream soda and that paired well with a blueberry muffin. Today, I am drinking the Blood Orange soda with a blueberry cake that is simply mouth watering. There are regular tables and chairs. However, if you get lucky, you could sit at a lounge-like private setting. The times we've come here it hasn't been too busy. They offer paninis and cheese pizzas, but we haven't tried those. There's also a good selection of alcoholic drinks form the drink menu. If you're looking to try something new, check this place out.

A cozy, quaint coffee lounge with a great selection of craft espresso drinks! I ordered the coffee flight and my boyfriend ordered the bye bye blackbird, and we both got the sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich! I really enjoyed the option of trying various espresso's, and the bye bye blackbird was wonderful! Although, I would have to say the sandwiches were just "ok". The ambiance is on point...low-key coffee lounge music (talk about a vibe!), plenty of table and couch seating, lights dimmed just enough to set a chill mood, and not loud overly-busy chatter from other patrons...and we were there at 930AM on a Sunday morning! Definitely a must-go if you're in town!

A+ vibe, decor, and latte Plus, the egg & cheese sandwich was perfect. Love the location as well. :)

I will say the drinks were delicious! But know that the service couldn't have been worse. The rudeness and disrespect was one of the worst I've ever witnessed. As a local, I was embarrassed to bring my out-of-state friends to this establishment. There was one barista who was very accommodating however, the one with the gauges in her ears could not have been more disrespectful to myself and my party. We recommend this area of town to all of our friends and to be told " You will drink this drink how I make it" was very offputting and not a welcoming environment. Our party was not loud or obnoxious by any means so to be treated this way was extremely disrespectful and we don't plan on returning to this establishment or recommending it ever.

Excellent coffee, friendly service and cool vibe. Live music in the evening is also fun time.

5 stars for the croissant alone. Literally amazing. The ambiance is a treat. And my espresso martini was super yummy.

**DO NOT COME HERE!!!** The owners, staff, and especially management need a serious reality check. This place is GROSS! We watched one waiter wipe snot all over his hands and sleeves, and he just kept handling food! During the entire time we were there, I never saw him wash his hands (thank goodness he wasn't our server!). They couldn't care less about your experience. There were plenty of open tables, yet we had to wait almost 15 minutes to be seated. While waiting, we kept catching whiffs of something dirty and gross, and there were gnats flying around. The waitresses acted as if every question we asked was dumb and a major inconvenience, and they couldn't adequately describe anything on the menu. While we were eating, we overheard the staff talking trash about several customers. The vibe is pretentious, the food is overpriced, and the staff are rude. If you've dined here and suddenly fell ill afterward, now you know why.

Simple, sleek and elegant. Americano Lounge is perfect for catching up with friends or getting some work done while you sit and sip. This location is very quiet for a cafe and offers plenty of seating both at tabletops or in cozy chairs and couches. I sipped an iced americano and snacked on a spinach filled croissant after my meeting here. The iced americano was delicious and not overly bitter, in fact, it had an insanely smooth finish. The croissant was flaky, buttery and a great option for a small quick breakfast. Sometimes with veggie based pastries they can taste like "dirt" (for lack of a better term) but this was quite the opposite. Parking here in the morning was a little tough and I'm sure when when they start serving cocktails in the evening, it gets worse. So plan accordingly! Oh yeah, didn't I mention this location turns into a full on bar at night. Sip smart, my friends!

Absolutely love this place!!! The best vibes anytime of day, coffee and cocktails. Live jazz music in the evenings & two chessboards if you enjoy a game.

My husband and I LOVE this place. It is, hands down, our favorite coffee shop in all of the Nashville area. The espresso is strong and robust. The jazz music is always perfect for the atmosphere, not too loud for work or conversations. We've also been there for the live jazz and loved it. Whenever we have family in town, this is a fun, funky, and cool place to be. Keep it up, Americano! So what are you waiting for? Come check it out!

One of the best places if you're a late coffee drinker. Coffee was excellent, service friendly, and the place has comfy chairs and nice background music

Absolutely loved the vibe of this place. I felt so cozy and hip just stepping in. We went when there was live jazz and it was awesome - great music & not too overpowering that I couldn't hear my friends. Had a glass of wine and a hot Italian panini, enjoyed both. Easy counter service

My new favorite coffee spot, and apparently it's catching on with everyone else, too! Every time I've been there I've had an Americano...sometimes more than one...and I don't even like Americanos. THEY ARE THAT GOOD. The owner is super personable and helpful and obviously passionate about what he does. Get the Americano, you won't regret it, and let him explain to you why it's so good. Besides the fantastic coffee and espresso, the charcuterie/cheese plates are delicious and I'm sure the baked goods are, they look mouth watering. But what really keeps me coming back besides the dark bean beverage? The AMBIANCE. It is SO comfortable, classy and welcoming. It's classy and comfortable at the same time and they have live jazz on the weekend (and play jazz through the radio in the meantime) what's not to like? Do yourself a favor and check it out!

Americano Lounge has an incredible ambiance. The music, decor, and beverages all come together to create a memorable experience. The actual food was kind of bland and underwhelming, but the drinks are definitely worth the trip. Also the staff was very friendly, and they did a great job explaining the menu options for fist time visitors.

Best place to come study! There is soft jazz music playing, as you feel as if you transferred to New York. They have jazz nights on the weekend with great cocktails!

First - the space is great. It feels like the basement your friend's parents built out as a cool hangout space. Warm, unpretentious, intentional & very well done - like Chris Botti's last three albums put to coffee. I didn't love the cortado, a bit harsh instead of intense & bold balanced by milk/cream as a Cortado (in my opinion) should be. My son's strawberries n cream soda flipped his attitude from "why are we stopping" to "great stop!".

Even though the 'Rona has got things on lock, businesses like Americano are still going strong. And I needed a little fresh air and quick break from staying inside, so I came to kill three birds with one stone - get my air, get my coffee, and support a business! Americano has their main dining room closed down, but still providing stellar service from an open window register. They have expanded some of their options to include food and alcohol packages, as well as groceries. I opted for the 'breakfast for one', which included a latte and crossaint sandwich (I got the Autumn Leaves latte, and Spinach and Ricotta - excellent) for a little under $10. Even though we're still weeks off from when we can once again enjoy in-house brunches, I appreciate these businesses staying open and giving us a preview of what we can look forward to once the warm weather - and safer times - come back. Will definitely come back to check Americano out when next I visit the area!
