Very excellent coffee, I was in Nashville for a few days and ended up coming here every day. Location was tucked away but not to hard to find. Interior design was very unique and it was an enjoyable place to sit and relax. Talented baristas that make sure to take time to make the coffee properly and with care. Everyone seems to enjoy what they do.

This review is mainly for my takeout experience. I ordered from Uber Eat for pick up and everything was quick and easy to place the order online. I ordered the bourbon vanilla coffee, avocado 🥑 toast and egg & cheese biscuit. I would give the food 4-5 stars and 3 stars for my coffee. I would definitely come back for the biscuit as it’s flavorful and flaky good. I hope to give their coffee a 2nd chance since there were so many good reviews about it. Cool place to visit if you are a tourist like me and it’s located in the Gulch.

Amazing lattes!! I got the 8 oz. vanilla bourbon latte and it was super good!! The stag was cool and very friendly and the whole atmosphere was great. The perfect place to come chill and work on some things. Love it, definitely a spot to stop in while I’m Nashville.

A nice, spacious coffee shop. My wife and I visited on a Thursday morning looking for a place to grab some coffee, a light bite, and get some work done. The coffee was very good (apparently roasted right there on the spot because they were roasting in the room next door when we were there) -- $4.00 or so for a 12 oz. The food was fresh and tasty (wife got the egg and cheese on a biscuit for around $9.00 and I got the breakfast burrito (eggs, cheese, and chorizo) for $11.00). Only issue with food/service was poor communications regarding how we were to receive the food, because they asked us for a name, gave us our beverages, and we went and sat down and waited and waited. After 10 minutes, my wife went to ask about the food, and they asked if she had checked the food pickup table, about which no one had said anything.

Good vibes and an open space that is great for working. The food was not seasoned, not prepared with the ingredients on the menu. The iced coffee, Whisky Caramel tasted like milk and caramel without the coffee. Not worth the money at all.

The coffee here is some of the best coffee in Nashville. The espresso is also very enjoyable, and presented quite well. This is the place for you if you want to take your time and enjoy your food and coffee, it's not a quick stop. The inside uses an open floor plan that creates a relaxed atmosphere, and also makes it easy to get around. Another cool thing is the baristas prepare the drinks in the center of the room, so you can watch them make your coffee while you sit at your table. This adds to the atmosphere and makes the experience much more personal.

I came here hearing so many good things about them. I was definitely not disappointed. Staff is very friendly and the space is open and spacious. Coffee is great! One of the seasonal specials is Shoeless Joe, a cola + espresso with cherry syrup and lime. Perfect for this heat 🌞

Coffee shops are pricy! We enjoyed our breakfast and drinks here. We laughed because they definitely take their sweet time making the drinks. We finished our food and like 3 cups of water before we got our drinks. Smooth and long process. The barista was vibing, so I wasn’t mad about it. Just long serve time. Overall, we enjoyed it. Pricy though.

Really great spot for delicious pour overs, thoughtful matchas and great cappuccinos! Happy to find a spot using Minor Figures Oatmilk I was delighted to visit with Barista Parlor several times while in town. The complexity of their pour over flavors are worth a taste, delicate, diverse and super flavorful. Top it off everyone is super sweet and excited to help with a warm welcome. I wish I had a chance to try their foods but maybe next time. Also bonus points for adding CBD to my matcha! Thank you Barista Parlor for being my warm cozy oasis!

Yelp asked me if I recommended this business and I answered with an internal scream "YESSSS". Seriously loved the atmosphere here. If I wasn't just visiting the city I could envision myself spending more time in this space with a book or maybe some work. This place was seriously so good that I went back to back mornings to get their vegan breakfast burrito and matcha latte. The burrito is hands down the most delicious I've had. The sweet hot sauce you get on the side is bomb. Will be returning next trip! OH! And don't forget to grab one of the locally made chocolate bars (some are vegan). I bought the s'mores flavor and YUM, wish I had bought a whole box.

Barista Parlor has a cool feel when you walk inside. It resembles a garage with the doors, and motorcycles in the space. The space felt dark, which I think was due to the overcast day. Service was not overly friendly when ordering. I decided to try the Wilma, the fruity pebbles flavored latte. It was very interesting, and tasted just like fruity pebbles. The coffee had a strong flavor more on the bitter end which I didn't mind.

Joe Joe Joe What a great cup of Joe! Nestled in the gulch, don't miss it. We stumbled upon it while waiting for our online Ramen order to be ready. What a jewel. Great menu, the kitchen was closed so we will have to come back. The coffee menu, international pour overs, expresso, teas and novelty brews! The service was great , the atmosphere was quaint. There is a wall of swag and other item. The LP's on the wall are not just for looking, there is nothing better than a great cup a coffee while listening to vinyl spinning. Great find, enjoy

This is a little hidden with their own parking area. Parking was a little difficult because of the small parking spaces. If you can park on the street that'll be best. It has a chill hipster vibe with soft music playing in the background. Service was okay...maybe it was the time of day we went the service bar area wasn't stock. It didn't have any creamer, milk, or napkins. I had the iced vanilla coffee. It had this extremely strong bitter taste that I wasn't expecting and caught me off guard. The cookies looked delicious and overly sweet.

A good local coffee shop option besides Crema, Drug Store and Sump. I had the concern that it was too touristy or Instagram friendly to be actually good. But I really enjoyed the flavorful and strong cold brew and the smooth and balanced bourbon vanilla latte here. Loved the bright, spacious and modern interior too.

We stopped in the evening for a quick iced coffee. The mocha iced coffee was appropriately sized in terms of ice and the ratio of chocolate sauce. I totally enjoyed my drink. Friendly service and quick coffee.

My husband and our group of 6 went in at 2:40pm for coffee. We have never had worse customer service. I asked the women working if i could get a cup of water. She didn't even speak - just pointed to around the corner - total attitude like i was annoying her. The guy making the coffee was just as bad - i asked for 2 iced americanos - they looked like a deer in headlights. I asked for half and half on the side - he handed me a canister that has maybe 1/4 ounce left in it. I had to push him to hand me more. Our friend ordered one macchiato ... after waiting for 10 minutes with nobody else in line or no other order being made - he went to the front of the counter, and the guy said " yes" and our friend said "my macchiato?" The guy rolled his eyes and hit his hands against his knees, like having to make the coffee my friend already paid for and that the guy forgot about was the biggest task in the world. My friend left because he was so over it after paying. My husband went back in and said no - we want our macchiato and we paid for it. The quality of the coffee was really good and it was a really cute spot. It's just such a bummer the staff was absolutely terrible.

F the haters. I love this place. I've tried a lot of coffee shops here in Nashville since moving here months ago & this is easily one of my favorites. Out of all of their locations, I find this one on Magazine to be the best of them. The Germantown local is irritating & music is hella loud (as many have confirmed). East Nash one is ok. Atmosphere & quality is on point. Branding is just spot on with Barista Parlor, attention to detail is easily seen. Yes, prices are noticeably high here (but you are also paying for the experience/space). I find the coffee to be very good so I can wrap my head around the higher cost. Parking lot is tiny so if busy, you will have to find street parking or park in one of the nearby lots.

There's no question the coffee here is very good. But the vibe is a real buzzkill for me. The space is pretty cool and very open, with a lot of space for just hanging out. There's even a patio outside which is great when the weather is nice. They do a great job making coffee--some of the best in Nashville. The food is pretty good as well. But every time I visit I feel like a bunch of hipsters are trying to make me feel like I don't belong there. It feels like they intentionally take a REALLLLY long time to make your coffee, almost hoping you'll complain that it is taking too long, so they can tell you that you can't rush art. They've never actually said that (as far as I know), but it is definitely the vibe I get. There's an element of it always feeling unpleasant to wait for your coffee, or that they're even perhaps judging you based on what you order. I really wanted to love Barista Parlor, and visited more than a few times. But every time I would leave feeling frustrated and annoyed (but very much enjoying my coffee). So, if you want really good coffee, you can count on that here. But in my view you're going to have to overlook what may come across as judgmental hipsters taking your order and making your coffee.

I love specialty coffee shops and I knew I had to stop by some in Nashville while I was in town. Barista Parlor was awesome and checked all my boxes. I loved the clear labeling of vegan options (food and drink!!) and the very simplistic layout of the menu. The few flavor combinations they offer sounded really interesting but I went with an 8 oz espresso w/ oatmilk. My drink had the perfect amount of foam and a great mouthfeel. The espresso also shone through and had a lovely flavor profile. It brought so much joy to my day, so definitely worth the price ;) Also the space is insanely cool like wow. I love the open concept and the whole design. Very aesthetically pleasing and a great coffee shop environment. The baristas were great and clearly were dedicated and loved what they did. Overall a great place, probably one of the top 10 coffee shops I've been to in the country. I'd love to return before I leave Nashville. :)

The Barista Parlor is an open concept cafe with a hip garage feel. My boyfriend and I ordered the Drema zilde (sp.?) and the chai latte. The coffee included notes of strawberry, dark chocolate, and oak aged scotch. However, the scotch flavor was a bit overwhelming. I'm not sure if it was worth $8 but it still tasted fine. The chai latte is your classic latte with a chai concentrate. Nothing too special but I enjoyed the simplicity. Overall, the coffee and latte was pretty decent! Service was a bit slow.

Black slow drip coffee- It was a different taste for me. It tasted........... THICK AND SWEET. Sausage egg cheese biscuit- It tasted like my grandma made the biscuit, and the cow and eggs came straight off the farm. Great taste!

This is a classic case of not keeping up with the competition. The coffee is good but because there are so many better options, it feels like BP has fallen off their game. Even the food is not as good as it was 2 to 3 years go. I used to crave their biscuits, now I go elsewhere. You can only live off a reputation for so long before people realize it. Great atmosphere and very nice staff, but there needs to be some innovation.

The thing that separates Barista Parlor from its counterparts is that it has a theme and it's unique. I LOVE the open space floor plan and the garage doors. There's plenty of seating for remote workers (but not many outlets for laptop chargers) I got the vegan burrito. I don't really recommend it - it tasted super hearty. The latte was mediocre but good!

I'm really just lucky my friend didn't kill me for having us come here Saturday morning. She knows I'm rather particular about my coffee and being our first time in Nashville I wanted to hit a bunch of coffee shops (I know, random!) anyways we ended up here Saturday morning thinking I'd grab coffee and a small bite to eat. While driving over and seeing the insane crowds in the Gulch area then parking and walking up to Barista Parlor quietly tucked away I thought to myself, score!! The one and only secret spot with no line. Oh no! There was a line, not as crazy as the other lines at local hot spots but a 27min line nonetheless. I contemplated leaving because waiting this long to order an iced oat latte is rather absurd but we waited. I was patient for most of it, then started sliding down the slippery slope of typical little miss impatient Candace around the 15-20min mark. I didn't even bother ordering the biscuit item that looked like it may taste great because there was no way I was subjecting us to any additional wait time. Our drinks came up fairly soon after ordering but a 30+min turnaround time to order and get an iced oat latte is not ok, ever. I'd say skip if there's a line, there's nothing stand out about their beans or coffee.

This spot was amazing, and was really all about the ambiance- vinyl records playing in the background, great art, hipster baristas that make you feel like you're somewhere edgy. The coffee was great but I don't have a very discerning palette for coffee

This was my first time and I loved it. The place has such a cool vibe. The interior is spacious and very open. There are plenty of tables and seats. I also appreciate the trendy wall art they have there. The bourbon vanilla was my drink choice of the morning. I loved the combination because it was unique and the flavors were great. I didn't order anything to eat because I was crunched on time. However, from what I saw at the other tables, I was pretty bummed I didn't order anything to-go. The biscuit sandwich looked really good. Highly recommend. If you're looking for a place to grab breakfast and some good coffee...check this place out!

Best coffee I found in Nashville! And I'm so glad I stumbled upon it. The coffee is delicious and so worth it. If you are picky about your coffee this is the place for you. There's is definitely a hip vibe here too. There were people working on laptops and there was space to work too. I of course bought some whole beans to take home too and there were just as delicious.

Hot or Iced? Milk or Black? You would not go wrong at Barista Parlor. It did take me awhile to decide what to order as this is my first time. Which beans? What roast? Milk Percentage? My espresso drink has good balance and the milk well frothed. My first time trying Espresso Tonic. A little tart without the bitterness of coffee. This won't be my last time. The set up is spacious and open. Perfect soft lighting for some coffeegram. Worth coming by if you are in the hood and want to chill out.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Right when I walked in, it was completely quiet, i was not acknolledged for about 4 minutes. I ordered a pour over, and it was so bad, I could not drink it. Way over priced and a waste of $6

I love the vibe here. And the pour overs are good. But they serve them in paper cups and that ruins the experience for me. The prices are also too high IMO.

I walked here from my hotel for what i was hoping was a decent cup of coffee. Being from out of town, sadly i didn't know better. Cool looking coffee shop. The baristas were busy talking over a coffee that they were making together. Not sure why it took two of them. So i waited at the register. Ordered my Americano in a "coffee cup". This is how i prefer my coffee. All of the shelves are stacked with coffee cups and mugs. My coffee was delivered to me in a paper cup and i do not like my coffee in a paper cup. I returned to the counter and requested a coffee cup and was told that the owner doesn't want them to use any of the coffee cups or mugs...only paper. I'm staring at all of the cups on the shelves and ask to speak to the "owner" who isn't there. and the employee repeatedly tells me that he can't give me a coffee cup because the "owner".... Rediculous. I won't be back. Too bad.

Super cool coffee shop with a hip aesthetic. Almost everyone in the shop seemed to be college-aged and working on a laptop, so it was a quiet atmosphere but not so much that it was awkward. This seems like a perfect spot to get some reading or writing done. Parking was pretty easy so that was a huge pro. We ordered a few lattes that were done really well. Our friends that came with us were tea drinkers and they were disappointed to find that they were out of tea. They also didn't have much (if any) for food options. I don't think there were any pastries on display at all. We didn't mind because we were planning to head to Merchant's for lunch directly after anyways. I am curious to try out some of the other Barista Parlor locations and maybe try one of their specialty lattes.

It's expensive for what you get. The service is moderately friendly but they forgot half of our order. It was a business meeting and I finished my coffee well before my client got his coffee and biscuit. Coffee is now served in paper cups. Odd for an elevated coffee experience. Maybe it's because they're moving and that is why service is slipping?

A week later, I still have unresolved feelings about BP. Rating this place was a struggle because every great aspect seemed to be countered with a significant downside. I was initially impressed with the sheer number of quality coffee roasters represented here- Four Barrel, Intelligentsia, Stumptown, Verve, and more. But I would rather they roast their own in house. That said, why have a roaster in the building if you aren't using it? Aesthetic? No thanks. Tried a couple of lattes here, my mom liked her whiskey caramel and my bourbon vanilla was okay. Overpriced at about $7 each for the 8oz, without any extra shots or specialty milks. I would have rather stuck with a cold brew, not only for more pronounced coffee flavor but because a simple latte at 6:45AM on a weekday with no line took literally 20 minutes and somehow wasn't even received hot. The barista looked busy but I couldn't figure out what he was actually doing unless he was making drinks for the staff? Food menu. I like that they offer one, and their baked goods display visually persuaded me to get the cranberry-pear poptart and it was, hand to God, amazing. I'm not a flaky-pastry person but damn, this was so good, fruity without overpowering, and just. damn. good. But my mom's burrito was BS, totally phoned in, not even chorizo as listed. The location is gorgeous and convenient to my Cyclebar workouts, love the patio for afternoon meetups, there are so many tables for working, and no one hassled me for lingering. I don't understand the need for a gift shop area with a bunch of merch, but whatever. The service was largely absent. Interaction was limited to, what do you want? and this is your total. chain coffee baristas have been more engaged with me with a line six deep at a drive-thru window than any of the staff were here over multiple visits.

Nothing special. The drinks were good but not great. They only had simple syrup for sweetener and the creamer (I'm assuming that's what it was, it wasn't labeled) was in a nasty tumbler bottle where you were meant to pour the cream out of the drinking hole. Very unconventional. Walking in my first thought was at how cute all the plants were and how nice it was that they had so many. On closer inspection, most of their plants were dead or dying.. they had an aloe flopped over the side of the pot, succulents stretching for light, and the rotting, molding remains of a hawthoria right on the table... it was very depressing and kinda gross

This location is right around the corner from work and is just as awesome as the IG pics you see. It was a beautiful day when I went so they garage doors were open, and it really added to the experience. This was my first time going and I was amazed at the originality but not impressed with the customer service. It was around 2pm when I visited, so maybe 2-3 people were in the shop. No hello. No "how can I help you". Nothing. The girl taking my order just started at me until I picked something. Kind of awkward. Won't stop me from coming back, but it was just weird. The service was also extremely slow. I was in there for about 15 minutes before i got my drink. Mind you, there was only one other person there before me, so yeah. Anyways, coffee was great, atmosphere was unique, and I'd rather give my money to a local business over a chain any day. I'll be back to BP soon.

A great place to grab a seat and work. The people there is really nice, and they put new kind of coffees on the menu pretty often. The thing I like the most is the music and the relaxing vibe you can find there.

I would seriously rate this place 0 stars if I could. Extremely disappointed with the lack of service and poor attitude I received. I waited 20 minutes in line for a pick up order that I specifically placed for the gulch location and was finally approached and told that they didn't have it in their system. Within the Toast site, the order showed up under the East Nashville location after I placed the order and didn't give me the option to change it to the Gulch. Complete lack of clarity and coordination between their online ordering system and the physical locations. I wasn't given any option to cancel the order or any refund portion. I'd recommend you go anywhere else if you're in Nashville looking for breakfast.

Some of the best coffee in Nashville. I usually get americano or espresso; today needed to kick it up and got the Bourbon Caramel (perfect patio beverage). For breakfast try the burrito or the avocado toast.... Or if you are looking for a good place to work an hour or have a quick meeting, this is your spot. Easy lot or street parking; free hour.

Torn between a 3 and a 4 for this, so I'm going with a 3.5. The inclination towards the 4 is for how absolutely cool this establishment is. Awesome and really unique vibe, really open with tons of natural light shining in, and a really fun set up. There's also a decent amount of seating area and it was reasonably quiet, so it'd make for a good study spot or place to catch up with a friend. That being said, for a coffee shop that charges so much for their lattes, I was disappointed with mine. It was fine, but definitely not worth the up-charge. I guess that's to be expected in Germantown, but I'm willing to shell out a few extra dollars on a budget when it's worth it, and my latte was not. My boyfriend, however, loved his! I'd say it's worth checking out if you're looking to explore a new coffee shop, but I probably won't be returning anytime soon.

Loved the feel and open concept of this place. Really cool hang out. I am a coffee shop connoisseur. I will travel far and wide for the perfect most inspiring place. I give this a 6 in the inspiration scale. Coffee was good, WiFi was good. I just can't get over the $7 price tag for my almond milk latte. Just a basic latte- nothing special. I'm from CA so I'm used to being robbed but this may be a new high for me.

So I probably would give this more than just a 3, but it's still not necessarily a 4. I just feel like being point blank the coffee is just too expensive for what you're actually getting. Now this place will make up for it in ambience and just general looks. The atmosphere is really cool and it's a nice little spot to go to chat that's probably not nearly as tight or packed as maybe the average Starbucks. So I think it's worth the visit but it's not someplace I'm going out of my way to stop by. Overall though still a nice place and cute experience!

What a great space for breakfast, lunch, snack, or simply to park for an hour or two over coffee, tea or mocha. There are several locations around Nashville, which makes it convenient for their regulars. It's a hip place for the younger crowd on their laptops, large enough for kids to run around, and for friends to chat over coffee, tea or smoothies. I've had their croissants, pastries and doughnuts, and they were all very good. The menu also features a great selection of breakfast items. And obviously, very fresh coffee, which is roasted on the premise.

A friend recommend this place and we happened to be in the area so it worked out perfectly. Also, fun fact about the Gulch, first hour of parking is free. Get the app so you can see when your parking expires. So convenient! But, the Barista Parlor does how a small little lot so give that a try first. That's also where you enter the shop. It feels pretty old school but in the best way! It is also way bigger than I thought! Plenty is seating inside and outside (they also had the garage doors open so that was fun). We didn't realize they served food so that was a huge win! We got a burrito and breakfast sandwich and both were YUM! The Siracha Aoli was so good! I seriously love burritos and tacos for breakfast and was not let down here! I also snagged a Honey Lavender Latte and a chocolate bar. Both were also yum! Not too overwhelming or underwhelming either. A nice middle ground for flavor. I hate when you get Lavender latte and taste nothing. Not the case here. Everything came out pretty quick too, granted it wasn't too busy. Head to the counter order, grab a number, and they bring it all to you. Such a fun stop and a great place to work. I loved this place!

Today was my first and last visiting this cafe. Me and friends were in search of artisan coffee in the area. It was our first time in Nashville. We arrived and were not greeted as we walked in the establishment. As we proceeded to make our orders, I was accused of stealing as I attempted to retrieve my wallet from my pocket. The barista was extremely unprofessional and eluded to make more statements about why he improperly accused me of something so inappropriate. Insult to injury he never apologized. This is not how anyone should be treated in any place. Barista Parlor is a NO GO in Nashville.

I ordered a ice coffee and realized there were 3 bugs floating at the bottom I tried calling twice and no one answered. Please make sure to look at the bottom of your cup before taking a sip.

The staff wasn't very friendly but they seemed a little busy so I didn't think much of it. Then they informed me they were out of the syrup I had asked for which is also no problem, I worked at a coffee shop in high school so I completely understand that happens. The issue was when I received the drink and took a sip and was greeted with the unsavory flavor of sour milk, no flavor, and no espresso. It is colored like it has espresso and flavoring however all you could taste was sour milk.

I was disappointed with my last visit to Barista Parlor. - Atmosphere: The Barista Parlor atmosphere was the best part of my visit. Inside they have many tables and lots of natural light. They also have a few picnic tables outside. - Service: There were probably 5 parties in front of me in line and it took at least 15 minutes for me to get my order in. The barista was helpful in giving me advice when ordering, but it did take a significant amount of time before I received my biscuit sandwich. - Food / Drink: I had the sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit, which was tasty, but not very warm when it arrived. My latte was good, but not anything special. - Value: While the coffee is priced like your typical independent coffee shop, I thought the biscuit sandwich was overpriced. It was $7.50, but was not enough to fill me up for a meal.

Barista Parlor is on all the top lists and I'm shocked it's behind Crema in reviews. I even read somewhere that Barista Parlor is more hipster. Instead, I saw a couple of bikers in for coffee and biscuits, a foreign couple who told me they have the best biscuits and coffee, two or three down-to-earth dudes with books, and a girl patiently waiting. Yes, their menu is intense with lots of background stories, but they offer lattes and other beverages and different chocolates as well. I chose the whiskey caramel with almond milk, possibly one of the best coffee beverages I've ever had. It wasn't too sweet. The cafe is large with lots of open space and instead of a stark white minimalist decor, they have long wood communal tables and a nautical light theme.

Overpriced but worth a try if you're into coffee. A former transmission shop, the place is aesthetically appealing, clean and the service is friendly. Expect to wait: took over 10 minutes for one coffee and one hot chocolate. Outdoor shaded seating available.

Got a Chai Latte and it was decent. Not the best I have Everhart and the bagel display was very unappetizing. Cute little place though but not dying to return.

Nice cafe located in the Gulch! The space is open (like a garage) so you get the fresh air from outside while enjoying a seat inside. There's also plenty of seating -- a long table to share and individual tables on the side. I had a lemongrass something tea. It was okay but could have had more flavor. Love the glasses though.

I stayed right around the corner from this coffee shop at the James. I ended up coming here everyday I stayed and loved each and every time I visited. I had their Vietnamese specialty coffee, the coke and espresso seasonal drink, and a latte. All three beverages were lovely!!! The vibe of the place is really neat and hip. Kind of has a car garage feel, with a hint of Joanna and Chip Gaines. It seemed to be a popular spot to hang out for the locals. I definitely recommend!

Coffee tastes like celery juice... should I go on? The tea tastes like charcoal, the prices are insane for water and leaves. Want to do work? Nope there are 3 outlets in the entire 60+ seating place. Wi-Fi? Bad. last time I will drink this celery adjacent $6 black ice coffee
