Barista Parlor - East Nashville

On the Grid : Barista Parlor East

"East is the OG of Nashville’s Barista Parlors. Go for the coffee, leave with it and the breakfast in your eternal waking daydreams. Think Bourbon-Vanilla Lattes and exotic espresso. Crisp yet fluffy, to-die-for biscuits piled high with egg, sausage, cheese and marmalade. Thousand-layer donuts and macaroons tease from behind glass. Plates overflow with cheddar eggs (perfectly peppered) the best bacon and duh, a biscuit. The mad scientists here are as well-rounded in eats as they are in coffee contraptions and preparation. Real records spin in the corner, amplified to fill the whole space. Don’t hit snooze. Just go." - Perky Bros

"Barista Parlor introduced artisanal coffee to Nashville when it opened its lofty, art-filled space in a former auto repair garage in 2012, serving top-notch small-batch roasters from around the country such as Counter Culture, Intelligentsia, and Stumptown. Two local outposts later, the company has evolved into a roaster-retailer, importing and roasting its own coffee beans for the first time. Try the zesty, fruity Daredevil or the cocoa-inflected Golden Sound while you take in the interiors, which pay homage to Tennessean talent: Doughnuts come from nearby bakers including Five Daughters Bakery in Franklin, and an enormous pixelated mural of a ship by Nashville artist Bryce McCloud covers the back wall."
