The Coffman Review

Google
We arrived on a weekday at 10am. I immediately felt like a Hobbit ready for “second breakfast”. Though the outdoor seating in the courtyard looked inviting, we opted to dine inside. Inside was bigger than it appeared from the courtyard, with booths and tables available. Woodsy decor and art were everywhere, making it feel both bohemian and quaint. With a large menu of upscale takes on comfort classics, we ordered: 🥔 The Scrap Pile 🥓 Bacon Gravy Over Roasted Potatoes with a side of Bacon 🧇 Hummingbird Waffle Stack 🍳 Little Bird Breakfast The Scrap Pile was a one-bowl breakfast and their most popular dish. The standout was the ham, being wonderfully smoky and tender. The biscuits were a bit boring and felt like filler. I love home fries and roasted potatoes for breakfast and these were great. The Bacon Gravy was on the lighter side (seriously) and had a nice peppered taste. If anything was lacking, adding Bacon Gravy made it better. The Hummingbird Waffle Stack surprised me. With an oatmeal-like consistency, I thought the pineapple ricotta spread and banana cream sauce was going to be an odd combination. But it worked! In fact, the longer I chewed the more I liked it. The waffle was crispy, the candied pecans were nutty and sweet. My apologies to its creator for pre-judging. 🙏 The Little Bird Breakfast came with bacon, and they nailed the cooking method. It was thick and hearty with a soft bite but kept its shape when picked up. Flavor was on point too. If you are looking for vegan or vegetarian options you’ll find several on the menu— and they are clearly marked. Lunch, dinner, and drink options also looked curiously delicious. A second visit is definitely in order. The only hiccup we encountered was the unavailability of several items— two of which were what I had planned to order. I’m guessing they sold lots of French toast and quiche over the weekend. Thankfully our server made us aware prior to taking our order.

This place was so cute! Even though we were a big group (9) the service was wonderful. Quentin was a joy! Definitely recommend requesting him to serve you! The food and drinks were delicious and the music taste was perfect. I’ll say, if you have a group bigger than 8, you should call ahead to make a reservation! 😊 (I got the Avocado Turkey Sandwich, an Irish Coffee, and Whiskey in a Tea Cup with Peanut Butter flavor)

5 stars for the service; 4 stars for the food. Huge shout out to Crystal for doing a great job waiting on our table of 10. She was attentive and made sure that one of our gluten-free friends had what she needed. I appreciated that I could substitute the fries with roasted vegetables - they were tasty and perfectly cooked. My one complaint is that my matcha latte was far too sweet; l I wish I knew they add honey. Also, they ran out of vegan gravy at 11am :'(

Nothin but southern charm in a cutesy little cottage with the garden to go with it! Had Easter brunch before leaving to head home. This place did not disappoint. We had the granny, and the coal miners daughter. All were A+ we will be coming back. The whole place was such a vibe!

Food was okay. Took over an hour to be served, and when it came out the fruit had obviously suffered cold damage and the toast was ... basically warmed bread. One piece of salmon Benedict was missing a salmon patty. I really want to love this place because it's so cute, but this is the third time I've been here and it's been mediocre at best. 🙃 We spent about $80, so about $20 per person. I don't think it was worth that when I couldn't even eat half my food because it was bad quality. We also saw our waitress maybe three times in the two hours (!) we were there. It wasn't terribly busy at the time, either.

This quaint diner is a must have for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. We enjoyed it so much we visited twice during our stay in Nashville. Their menu offers a unique variety of dishes including French toast, biscuits and gravy, lemon griddlecakes or waffles, as well as less traditional breakfast items like tacos and an amazing breakfast burrito. They do have a kids menu so make sure to ask for one. Their coffee drinks and hot chocolate are comparable to a coffee shop and they also have alcoholic drinks if you are looking for beer, wine, or a bloody mary. If it's a nice day, they have a beautiful patio and if you are going during a busy season, you'll want to make a reservation. Don't miss out on this gem!

I went here on a Sunday with really nice weather. Got to the place at 10:45am and was told it would be a 45 mins wait. We thought, no problem we can walk around town while we wait and put our name down on the waitlist. Finally got the text our table was ready at 11:30am. We got sat and the waitress greeted us and got our waters right away, we ordered and it went downhill from there. It took the waitress 30 mins to let us know that they were out of the French toast. I instead got eggs Benedict. After that it took 20 MORE minutes for the appetizer of fried green tomatoes to come out at 12:32pm. 3 slices of tomato for $9. We were at our wits end and considered just paying for the tomatoes and leaving when the entrees came out at 12:45. One piece of ham on my eggs Benedict was literally the size of a quarter, just a one bite size (see pic). What kind of kitchen would see that ham and think it’s okay to serve? This was just beyond ridiculous. All the tables around us were also waiting so long and I saw frustration in their faces. The kitchen and the wait staff seemed to be misaligned and unorganized. In my opinion, taking 1 hour to get food to the table is insane. Only got two starts because the Benedict was good.

This is a great place in Nashville Indiana right in the heart of all the action. Gena was our server & did a great job explaining the menu & was very attentive. We had The Scrap Pile & The Coal Miner’s Daughter. Bacon Gravy is their thing here & very flavorful. The Bloody Mary was tip top & The Cherry Cordial was a great hot Sunday cocktail. A great find when getting out of the inner city.

Great food and service. Best original margarita I've had! We had 2 adults, 4 kids and never felt like an inconvenience to the staff.

A little underwhelmed by this spot after people in town raved about it. The vibe is super cozy and quaint, especially with it decorated for Christmas. The service was ok and we didn't feel like the hostess or our server was very friendly. My friend enjoyed her breakfast burrito but my food was pretty bland (I got a typical breakfast entree with biscuits, gravy, eggs, bacon, etc.) Coffee was good but oddly lukewarm every time they topped off my cup..? The other confusing part of our experience was at the bar, which is a separate entrance/area next to the restaurant. It's super small but adorable, so we walked over to sit and have a mimosa while we waited for our table to be ready. One bartender was very nice, the other ignored us for almost 10 minutes before finally getting our drink order. We knew she was busy making cocktails for the restaurant guests, but it felt uncomfortable not being greeted or told she'd be right with us. A few other people popped in while we were in there and they were awkwardly turned away..? There was plenty of room for at least 2 or 3 more people to sit at the bar, so we weren't sure why they weren't more welcoming or open to people doing what we did while they waited to be seated? It was just strange and made us feel out of place, like we shouldn't have even been in there. We'll probably try a different brunch place if we ever go back to Nashville!

We arrived in Nashville on a weekday, Friday, and headed straight to the Bird's Nest, which sounded like the best option for our GF and vegan lifestyles. The waitress was helpful in helping determine options since there were few. We both chose egg whites, avocado, black beans and corn tortillas. The food was OK. I found it odd that the beans were underneath the tortillas, which were hard, making it awkward to break apart the tortillas for a bite size piece. Would have preferred the beans between or on the flat tortillas, or even better, all the ingredients in a bowl with a few chips instead of the tortillas. But it is a nice atmosphere, eclectic vibe and friendly staff.

We had passed by the beautiful gardens leading the Bird's Nest so many times. This time we decided to stop in and give it a try. We ordered the avocado turkey sandwich and it was delicious. As we sat outside watching the bees and other pollinators move in and out of the flowers, it was difficult not to be mesmerized by the view. Before we left, I stopped into the small bar next to the restaurant. They were getting ready to close (which was a real bummer since it was a Tuesday around 2:00pm...lol), but the owner and bartender took time to tell us more about the restaurant and their history. We were also very impressed by their vast selection of cocktails in the bar!

This is my second time coming to Bird's Nest Cafe and I love it. I went on a Saturday and it was definitely busy trying to get to Nashville. I called to let them know that I would be late for my reservation and they were very understanding & held our table. When we got there, we were immediately attended to but the food did take a while to come out due to the large amount of people in the restaurant. The place is so cute and feels homey. I love it! The food was also delicious. This is my second time getting the avocado Turkey sandwich. The pretzel bun is such a great addition to this. The blueberry lemon pancakes were very yummy and not overly sweet. I definitely recommend splitting a sweet and savory plate! I will obviously be back.

What a charming place.... This little house is surrounded by a beautiful garden. I recommend seating outside. There is a cute gazebo with a table for 6. And as a plus, you can bring your dog if seating outside. All the staff were amazing to my dog! We had brunch and the food is delicious. The quiche was fluffy on the inside with a crunchy bottom. Cappuccino was also made to perfection.

The Bird's Nest Cafe is locally owned and located in an old house in the heart of Nashville. There is a nice flower filled courtyard on the way into the restaurant that is an option for eating outside during warmer weather. Dogs are welcome in the courtyard. We were greeted when we entered, in fact the hostess opened the door for us and welcomed us to a table. My granddaughter was given a kid's menu that also doubled as a coloring page along with some crayons to keep her occupied. The menu offers breakfast and lunch options with a great selection of vegetarian options. The food came out after a short wait. My granddaughter had the grilled cheese with fresh fruit. The sandwich was large and probably could have used a little more cheese. The fruit (grapes and apple) were cut up nicely. She was happy. I had the Chicken Ciabatta Sandwich with rosemary fries. The sandwich had a grilled chicken partial breast with an intense Swiss cheese, refreshing cucumber slices and a lot of aioli. The ciabatta is quite large and fresh. The shoestring potato's were good. They have a full bar and offer specialty cocktails. They also have a full coffee bar. Our server checked was attentive and checked on us regularly. The tables are pretty close together and seem to be in a traffic pattern that had people constantly walking pass us. I would ask for a booth next time. There is limited and coveted street parking, so go early.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the whole area. I would probably drive over here for the day just to eat lunch here. They have many vegan and vegetarian options. In addition to the amazing regular options. They have a small cocktail bar and wine and beer. It's also right in the heart of downtown. They do close early. Make sure your name is on the waitlist by 1:30 p.m. The garden is beyond magnificent. It reminds me of something of a movie. There are often long waits. Tons of street parking or when it's busier in October, you can pay five bucks and Park and one of the paid lots. I. Live. This. Restaurant.

Super cute cafe in the heart of Nashville,In. We went on a Sunday morning around 11am for brunch. There was a 45 minute wait which we didn't mind, so we shopped around until our table was ready. Very cute and artsy vibe inside. Our hopes were high. They were quick to take our order but then unfortunately we waited a minimum of another 45 min to get our orders. As we waited we were both assuming it would be well worth the wait. Our waitress did come over about half hour in to let us know a large party had ordered right before us so ours was being prepared now. Great. Upon receiving our food we were both severely disappointed. Both of our eggs were cold. Not lukewarm;Ice cold and tasted like they had been sitting around a while. Nothing had any flavor and we were shocked. Even the biscuits and gravy were completely flavorless. We were so frustrated and starving by then. That we didn't say anything. Neither of us ate even half our meal and then I went and asked the server for our bill. Nobody asked how anything was, and not even a goodbye or have a nice day as we walked out. Maybe it just was an off day but I wouldn't wait that long to try it again..

The ambiance of the Bird's Nest is 6 stars! It is so cute, fun looking and full of energy. We were very excited to get here and try it out (hint - call or use toast for a reservation - you may have a couple hour wait without one!) We arrived without a reservation a little before 11 on a Saturday and had a 90 minute wait. That's okay, we were able to shop around and watch the site to see our place in line. When we got seated though, it was 15 minutes for our server to show, we ordered - 15 more minutes for the drinks to arrive and another 30 for the food. So an hour waiting after being seated . My wife ordered the vegan hash. After she ordered she was told they were out of quinoa- a main ingredient. She had it anyway. It came with the potatoes not being cooked through. To fix it, the microwaved the heck out of it - the potatoes were still not all the way cooked, but enough to eat. And the rest of the food was then dried out. That was unfortunate. My son said his meal was so covered in gravy, he couldn't taste anything else. I think I'd go back and hope it was a fluke.

Food was so very delicious. My father and I had the bad hombre which was delicious. My wife had the vegan hash which she was disappointed in since they were out of the greens and sweet potatoes. They were available to substitute veggies but she said it just wasn't the same taste as last time she had the dish. The service was fast but not that friendly. I think our waitress may have been overwhelmed. It is a little loud inside especially if you're trying to have a conversation between multiple people. Overall the food was delicious and we will definitely come back.

Nashville, Indiana is a hidden gem in the state. Known for arts and crafts community, Nashville has also become a foodies delight. The Bird's Nest Cafe used to be a retail store that sold home decorations but was turned in to a cafe a few years ago. They focus on scratch made foods, with a twist sometimes. Everything I have ever tried there has been great! When you walk up to where the cafe is, you'll find a garden. Not a vegetable garden but a nice cottage garden. Walk under a trellis and no a path that curves around tables where you can sit when the weather is nice. Once you reach the front door and walk in, you are greeted with a nice homey feel. The staff at the Bird's Nest is great! They are nice, warm, and friendly. The cafe is actually an old home, which is typical for a lot of places in Nashville. It has a a worn with love wood floor, thick walls, and feel of home. The Bird's Nest has a simple menu. Their menu also changes seasonly. So, what I am writing about may not be on the menu during the winter. That is to say it is well rounded and not overwhelming. All of the selections sound and look delicious! I am going to review the Green Tomato BLT and the Blueberry Lemon Griddlecakes. I am going to venture to say that green tomatoes are not a big thing in Indiana. Not to say that no one knows what they are. I am sure everyone does, but the Bird's Nest is the only place I have ever seen a green tomato BLT. Toasted bread, crisp lettuce, thick, well-cooked bacon, topped with fried green tomatoes... yum! They slather a layer of homemade pesto mayo on the bread to top it all off. The sandwich is served with your choice of "Joe's" chips, slaw, or fruit. I have the fried green tomato BLT on a regular basis when I am in Nashville. I only live an hour and a half away, so that is quite often! One time I was driving through in the morning, on a business trip so I had to stop. I also stopped at the Nashvile Spice shop to see my friends and grab some salami, artisan cheese, and crackers for dinner that evening. I noticed this meal called Blueberry Lemon Griddlecakes, and just had to try them. For those of you who might be wondering what in the world is a griddlecake, think pancake but much better. Griddlecakes are usually made with whole grain flour which imparts a nice flavor. Add blueberries, and a hint of lemon and you have blueberry lemon griddle cakes. The griddle cakes are served with local Fisher Farms bacon, which is some of the best bacon I have had, and I have consumed a lot of bacon in my life time! The griddlecakes are served on a plate with a bluebery compote and lemon drizzle. No butter is needed! They are fluffy, full of flavor, and very filling. They are now my go to for breakfast when I am in Nashville of a morning. I can't say enough about the Bird's Nest Cafe, though reading this review might make you think otherwise... lol. Please go try the Bird's Nest Cafe the next time you are in Nashville. Spring, summer, and fall are busy times for the town, but don't forget winter. Yes, some of the stores are closed for the winter but Nashville takes on this slow, peaceful, vibe in the winter and is magical. They can get busy so make reservations or be prepare to wait a while. Though, things do slow down in the winter. Be sure to check out their website to make sure they are openon the day you will be in town. Winter hours can and do vary.

Very cute cafe for lunch/brunch in downtown Nashville. Service was great. Food was good. The rosemary fries are thin, crispy, and delicious. The turkey sandwich was good, but the turkey had a weird sort of chemical, charcoal taste -- like maybe there was a lot of already-burnt-on stuff on the cooking surface. It didn't stop me from eating the entire sandwich, but when I ate the turkey on its own that had fallen out of the sandwich, there was a slightly unpleasant taste to it. If you're short like me (5'3"), avoid the wooden booths. The seats are very high. My feet couldn't touch the ground, so the wooden edge was digging into the back of my thigh.

Food was a 5/5 but the service and wait was 3/5. I would definitely return but minus the kids. The wait was just way too long with children, they became very impatient after the first 30 minutes or so waiting on the food, after that it just got worse, once the wait exceeded that. It is a small spot but nice and the food was excellent, once we got it. I would definitely recommend but be prepared to wait for sure as it seemed like all the tables were in the same boat. The Fried Green Tomato BLT was perfect and the Fries were delicious with homemade ketchup!!!

Bird nest is a great name for this location. It's nestled off the street very convenient courtyard. The food was delicious. My wife commented on the pancakes being the best besides homemade. I tried the sink. It has bacon gravy, which brings an interesting taste to the dish. The service was OK as it is a town in Nashville so have an expectation different.

This is a great local business to support! I've only ever been there on Saturdays and I will say it's best to make a reservation that's for sure. It's always busy and so it is a little bit loud, but it's a good vibe. I've tried a couple of their different breakfasts, and it's hard to choose a favorite. But I would say the bad hombre or the midwestern one I forget it's official name. Also the mimosas are great they pour generously Plus you get to enjoy downtown after!

We decided to grab breakfast here on Father's day without a reservation. We got to the restaurant a few minutes before they opened and was able to get a table within 15 minutes. Very cute garden patio. We were seated inside which was very homey. I had the coal miner's daughter benedict, my husband had the steak and eggs, and I got the little bird waffle for my toddler. I enjoyed my eggs benedict with fried green tomatoes. I do like buttermilk biscuits, but it might have held up better with traditional english muffins. The buttermilk biscuit ended up absorbing a lot of sauce and was really heavy. The waffle was nice and fluffly and the crunchy granules of sugar imbedded in the batter was pleasant surprise. It was definitely on the sweeter side because of this. Unfortunately, my husband did not like the steak. It was heavily coated in coarse pepper and he found it very overwhelming.

We walked in around noon on a Sunday. There was a 45 minute wait. We were not in a hurry so we put our names down & wandered around to the shops close by. We came back about 45 minutes later to see if there was any update because I had not received a text. The hostess said it was perfect timing because she was about to call us. We ordered our food & it took a little over 30 minutes to get it. I definitely recommend getting the kombucha mimosa - it was delightful. Super cute place. Will definitely come back but will plan to arrive earlier or later so we don't hit the rush.

My best friend flew in for a girls' weekend on the coldest day in recent memory, and top on our list was to eat here. We were SO glad we went! My friend is mostly vegetarian but will eat some fish, and she was very impressed by the menu's many vegan and vegetarian options. We both ordered the salmon patty and fried green tomato eggs Benedict. Hands-down our favorite dining experience during our 48 hours, and we ate at some of the best restaurants in nearby Bloomington! I loved it so much that I'm taking my daughter this weekend and my mom is driving two hours to meet us so I can treat her to the best meal in town in the cutest place!

The Birds Nest is one of our favorites in Nashville! The garden outside is lovely and the restaurant itself is quaint and comfortable. The service is always friendly and helpful and the food is always eclectic and flavorful. My husband loves sausage gravy. This one is a little different. It's not a typical white gravy but it's very flavorful. The omelette was huge and filled with mushrooms, goat cheese and spinach.

Cute little place to eat in the heart of Nashville. Service was friendly, but wait to get food was super slow. After a ten minute wait to order, It took almost 30 minutes for our food to arrive (a burger with fries and a salad). I thought the ambience was good, but thought that the wait was too long and the food overpriced.

The ambiance is adorable. There are a handful of tables outside in the garden, including one in a gazebo. Inside, majority of chairs are those tortuous metal chairs that are so uncomfortable. Wasn't terribly busy the May Friday morning we went. The two servers were running, but still provided attentive service. Food was hit and miss. The Bad Hombre and Vegan Hash were both good. The Bird's Nest Benedict was fine. The hollandaise was quite thin and liquidy not at all rich. There wasn't a strong pesto flavor. The veggies were under seasoned. The tomato soup and grilled cheese was almost comical. Tasty bread, but almost no cheese to speak of. The tomato soup was a hearty serving, but served lukewarm. Disappointing. The cheesy grits were not at all cheesy. More like creamy grits. We must have hit the kitchen on an off day.

This is one of my favorite places to eat brunch at when I'm in Nashville!! Pros: they take reservations, unique menu, very vegan/vegetarian friendly, SUPER cute and quaint, very good food (my fav is the vegetarian biscuits and gravy), affordable, they have 1/2 portions of biscuits and gravy if you don't want a full portion, great location being within walking distance of everything! Cons: there's almost always a line/wait time, their coffee/cold brew/espresso is horrid (hot coffee and espresso are weak, cold brew tasted burnt), and their potatoes didn't seem flavored at all Biggest tip: make a reservation for 9am, right when they open up. My mom and I were the first ones in the door. Our food was served within 15 mins and we were out of there by 9:45am! Regardless of the cons, we'll still be going back every time we are in Nashville!

This was our first restaurant experience in Nashville, IN. We are sooo glad we tried it! Thank you, Yelp! I got the salmon patty Benedict, but I asked them to make the eggs over medium instead of poached (perfect!), and I got the pesto hollandaise on the side (that was just OK. This dish didn't need it). My meal really was delicious! My husband got the Bad Hombre. It was terrific! Sarah was our server. So sweet and attentive. We'll be back!

Gave it another go! Food was wonderful and our server was attentive for as busy as she was. It was a packed house on an early Saturday morning while we were there. I ordered the Midwestern Omelet and a Brown County Sunrise, both were yummy. My daughter was excited when her hot chocolate was delivered with a tower of whipped cream and marshmallows on top! They have a lot of unique brunch options that you don't typically see. It's a smaller place with lots of character. We had a larger group so we were seated close to the door (largest table available) and it got a little chilly as patrons would come and go. Our coffee and hot chocolate kept us warm! We will definitely revisit in some warmer months and hopefully snag an outdoor table in the garden area! I recommend giving them a try if you are in Brown County.

My girlfriend and I came down to Nashville to rent a cabin. She specifically mentioned this restaurant and their vegan options, so we thought we'd give brunch a try. I had a griddle cake, sour dough toast, and breakfast potatoes. All of my food was hot and flavorful. The griddle cake was delicious! Could have done without the whipped cream but still very good. The sourdough toast was my favorite part. Lightly buttered and flavorful...so tasty. You can't really mess up potatoes but mine still had plenty of flavor. My girlfriend's vegan hash looked delicious! She added a pinch of hot sauce to tie the flavors together and it worked perfectly. As you can see from the picture, it was a generous serving size. Our service was average, in terms of speed, but the server was very nice, so that was a definite plus. The building itself was quite cold. I had to keep my coat on. I did like the decorations and interior design, though. Felt very homey! It was $40 for two people who ultimately had to take home leftovers, so I call it a win. :)

Visiting from NYC.. GREAT hidden gem Food: this vegan spot did not dissapoint. I ordered the FRIEND OF THE HEN SANDWICH. It was amazing! Tasted like real chicken, Juicy, tender, toppings and sauces were amazing. The pretzle bun was a nice touch. I ordered a side of both sauces chipotle (on sandwich and the BBQ sauce for the fries. The fries were also on point (and I'm picky about my fries). Service: our server was very friendly, accomodating and attentive. Was nice enough to give great recomendations. Also had a great Convo about the place and town before we left. Price: everything came out to about $17 with tax and tip. I guess that's about right without the order of a drink. Ambiance: the outside is so pretty. Very picturesque with the flowers, plants and gazebo. There's also a floral arch along the side. The inside felt very homey and inviting with all the wood touches. This is a must go if you are vegan or not ( i am not and loved it).

Nashville is a delightful little town and has all the small town charm that attracts thousands of visitors. Most of the local artsy charm follows this motif, but then there's Birds Nest, the Rembrandt of breakfast eateries here. This is the kind of place that would be typical in a Steam Boat Springs or Sedona, but an unexpectedly delightful surprise in Nashville. So what's the big deal? The FOOD. Everything on their menu for breakfast was elevated in it's execution. First example is the pumpkin waffle. It had a home made savory pumpkin ricotta cheese filling with a perfectly paired pumpkin/maple syrup. Beautiful (also pictured). My wife and I also had the Eggs Benedict and Bad Hombre, the latter of which was like a fancy Chilliquilles. Even the smoky salsa was homemade. Even the sour creme seemed whipped if that is possible. The eggs were from a local farm and we're perfectly cooked to drizzle over the potatoes and tortillas and blend into awesome bites. I could go on and on, but you get the point. It's just fantastic food. I would recommend getting there early, as its popularity attracts many enthusiastic patrons and with a small footprint it fills up fast.

Disappointing first visit. Our group had reservations yet waited 15 minutes for the server to take our drink orders and then over 90 minutes before the food was served. The biscuits & bacon gravy was cold, greasy, & had no flavor. The biscuits & vegan sausage gravy was cold & had no vegan sausage or flavor. The quiche and rosemary potatoes were tasty. It's a rustic, cozy atmosphere but the food and service need improvement. Our group decided not to return.

The food was wonderful, lots of indoor and outdoor cozy seating. The staff was delightful, felt like you were at grandmas house. The chef came to our table side to ask how a food was, it was the best breakfast I could ask for. We had fried green tomato BLT and eggs Benedict. The egg was perfectly poached. We will definitely be back for more!!

I feel like this place should be on a movie set. Cozy and cute decor, friendly and efficient service, and tables close enough you can talk to each other if you want. Thoroughly enjoyed the deep dish quiche with broccoli and cheddar, and the greens that came with it were more like a delicious side salad. My partner had fresh fruit that was mostly berries with no melon. We'll be back when the weather is nice and sit in the courtyard.

Bacon gravy was NOT GOOD. Not like normal gravy and weird taste. Tequila sunrise and mimosas were delicious. Service was decent. Cute little place.

Second review. Love it here!! My daughter and I had a lovely breakfast here today. We sat outside in the petite garden. Our server was a delight and helpful in his knowledge of the menu. Music played and was nice. The ice tea was refreshing and the kombucha on tap was strawberry mango. So good. Highly recommend. The little birds nest breakfast was delish but the salmon patty Benedict with fried green tomatoes was the show stopper! Eat here!!!

Cute restaurant and great food and service. Perfect brunch during a trip to Nashville, Indiana.

No. Just no. We went there for breakfast. We had no choice because Nashville, Indiana is really not open for business. So many places are closed with the same excuses: not enough staff, not open on Monays abd Tuesdays, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, we went here for breakfast because there was nowhere else available. They charge $13 for 2 eggs, flavorless bacon, lots of potatoes, and an English muffin. The food was bland. The Blueberry lemon pancakes were dry. The seating is very uncomfortable. The prices are much too high. They put flowers and microgreens on top of our food. And if you need to use the restroom, you'll need to walk through the kitchen to get there. No. Just no. We will not return.

This was a three star experience with 4/5 star potential - I hope management will make some changes to give customers the best possible experience. My husband and I came in on a cold Monday morning, and, unfortunately stayed cold for the entirety of our breakfast. It seemed that the heating was not on at all (something I heard other patrons ask about, too) - there was also a big fireplace nearby that was not being used. I ordered biscuits and gravy and my husband got blueberry lemon pancakes. The pancakes were really good but the eggs and bacon my husband ordered on the side were cold. As for my meal, it was burnt. When I asked if I could substitute it for a different meal, the server was very kind and understanding. She commented that she thought they needed to stop serving it for the day. My second meal was the eggs Benedict quiche with a side of potatoes. This was really delicious and much more filling than I expected. I definitely recommend it. The service was really great and I so appreciated that the server didn't make me feel bad for sending food back. It is disappointing, though, to think that the kitchen knew that their meal was off that day (they make one batch of biscuits and gravy and only serve it until it's gone) and continued selling it. I hope to come back one day and have a better experience to write about.

We love this little cafe! It was an adorable hideaway in the heart of Nashville. Their food is always delicious but truth be told, we absolutely adore their coffee!! This is the first place we had ever had a lavender latte a few years ago and yesterday we decided to stop by for this special treat! Once again, we were not disappointed! We were surprised, however, to find adorable decorated green houses in place of their usually vine covered pergolas in the courtyard. I was happy to see that they were saved and hopefully will be back in the spring but in the meantime, they have functional, warm, socially distanced places to dine outside! If you are looking for the perfect place to grab some breakfast, brunch or lunch give this place a try! You will not be sorry Also, their menu is rotated seasonally and they also now have a bar and serve Bloody Mary's, mimosas and other tasty beverages!

This place is okay. The atmosphere is super cute. Felt like home and enjoyed the music. The Fried Green Tomato BLT was dry and not very good for $13. The fries are eh. The tomato was small and dry. The sauce was pretty good on sandwich though. I wouldn't get what we got but maybe try something else. ‍

What a perfect find. Thanks to my fellow Yelpers!! It was a challenge to find only because I wasn't expecting to find this gem in a house. Visited in January and the outside garden area was still charming. They had a few igloos outside due to Covid but once we walked inside I knew I wanted to be seated inside. Friendly staff, told us to seat ourselves. Love the quaint, warm, atmosphere. They offer cocktails, craft beer or coffee and cappuccinos. Perfect lunch spot for whatever you want to drink but also homemade simple foods with great prices. Ordered avocado toast with tomato jam. Soooo good. Hubs ordered a fried egg sandwich on sourdough. I will absolutely come back! Can't wait to try their quiche- it looked amazing..

If I was reviewing based solely off my personal taste buds I would only give them 3 stars, but I think I don't care for the food due my personal tastes. I have been twice now for brunch. The first time I ordered the sourdough breakfast sandwich and added bacon. The sandwich didn't have any sauce on it so I found it very dry and lacking in flavor. The breakfast potatoes were great and my favorite part of that dish. The second time I came I ordered the fried green tomato sandwich. I loved how thinly they sliced the tomatoes for the sandwich. Once again the sandwich had no sauce and once again I found it be incredibly bland. I asked for mayo on the side and that helped a little bit. For me the food here is just not great, but based on other reviews many people feel very differently, so I would say try it for yourself. I am a personal who likes full flavor, seasonings and spice. This place just doesn't do it for me. The interior is adorable and it's definitely a pleasant place to enjoy a meal.

My favorite place in all of Nashville. Pretty sure I could eat here 7 days a week and never get sick of it. Literally EVERYTHING on the menu is fantastic. Can't go wrong with anything. The atmosphere is soooo freakin' cute. Will always eat here when in Nashville!
