Dawn Cafe Nashville

Great atmosphere! The outdoor space is great and very relaxing. Food and drink were great, however they forgot to make my drink at first. Would come again or recommend!

Like many people have said already, the aesthetics and atmosphere of this coffee shop are absolutely on-point. Light and airy, comforting color scheme, great variety of plants and books that make it comfy and somehow lived-in. Even the outdoor seating is great, pathways are well-kept, and I can easily see myself coming here to study or write. The coffee was fine, although I am admittedly not a coffee snob so I can't adequately comment on that. Unfortunately the thing I was looking forward to trying the most, the food, was unavailable. Half the menu was out of stock when I came by, which was definitely disappointing. What I did end up getting (the tots and breakfast sandwich), were perfectly serviceable but pretty basic. Hopefully next time I visit they will have more food items available!

Cannot say enough about the ambiance here. This is the perfect spot for hanging out with friends, doing some work, or reading a book. Amazingly comfortable and well-spaced seating options inside and outside in the shaded garden courtyard shared with Sidebar. There's even a fire pit for cooler mornings and evenings. The menu is limited but has all the basics you expect to find at a coffee shop.

Loooove this place so so much!! My only complaint is that you have to pay for parking - however, that’s just the way it goes in downtown Nashville. The aesthetic is honestly flawless (think birthdays, bachelorettes, date nights, and studying!) and the wifi is good too. You have the option of sitting indoors or outdoors which is nice and there’s a perfect breeze either way. I recommend their tropical smoothie and their cinnamon roll!

There unfortunately wasn’t much that made this coffee shop good in my experience. The cappuccino I had was not good. The staff just kinda stared at us when we walked in and I didn’t feel very welcome. The only aspect that gave it a decent rating for me is if you want a nice aesthetic of a restaurant to study in and have some so-so coffee then this place is probably good for you. Was not the best experience and I’d look elsewhere if you’re finding good coffee in downtown Nashville.

Dear Dawn Cafe, I hope this email finds you well. our visit to the establishment was marred by an unfortunate incident of discrimination, which left a lasting impression on us. Despite the challenges we faced during our visit, it is important for us to share our experience in a fair and objective manner. Your honest review of the service and overall atmosphere of the place will not only help us in reflecting on our own experience but also in providing valuable feedback to the management of the establishment. Best regards,

The space is awesome and the coffee is really good! I love that they have high ceilings and are very clean. I can’t wait to go back... loving their iced latte. The staff was super kind!

A bit off the beaten path, but worth the trek. The coffee is incredible and they have specialty drinks. The breakfast options are fresh. A relaxing atmosphere. Will be back.

Delicious gourmet coffee in a cool, hip place we found while in Nashville! The space is so coño ok with different memorabilia from decades past. I live their bubbly water machine. You can try sparkling water with different flavors. And for free! The service was very friendly and courteous.

Loved this cute little coffee shop! My boyfriend and I were heading out to and decided to grab a little coffee and some snacks. WOW, the food was incredible, the coffee was amazing and the vibes were immaculate. Highly recommend Dawn Cafe, you won't regret it!!

Stopped by this cute coffee shop on the way out of Nashville. There is plenty of seating inside and outside (with fire pits). We ordered iced mocha oat milk lattes and they were really tasty! You get free parking for up to 2 hours, which is convenient. Happy with my visit :)

Dawn Cafe is such a cute little coffee shop in downtown Nashville! This awesome coffee shop is located inside Bode, which is this super cute hotel. I would have never know it was here if it wasn't because our friends were staying at this hotel. Dawn Cafe has this amazing rustic chic vibe which is super inviting. Besides their amazing coffee menu, they also have multiple refrigerator full with snacks, and others beverages, which was great since we were going on a long walk and I needed some to-go snacks. For my first time here I decided to order their iced chai tea which was made to perfection! Their food menu also looked pretty good, but unfortunately didn't have time to check that out.

This is such a cute coffee shop. Nice array of coffees, some with liquor. It's very bright with huge windows. It's very chill and I saw many people working on their laptops. There's an outdoors sitting area to enjoy the weather. They have a station for sparkling or flat water (which is a nice option) the market has candles and a really nice lotion for sell. As we sipped our coffee we played a card game, but had the option of checkers, tic tic toe, and cards against humanity. It's fairly close to many hotels and on a sunny day iit's what the doctor ordered.

Baristas were lovely, coffee was good and breakfast was fresh! The level of service made me want to stay longer.

A great place to stuck when it's pouring outside! Which is what happened to me, but talk about a happy accident. The staff here is super friendly and the coffee they serve is strong! This cozy hotel lobby coffee shop gives off fall European cabin vibes... or maybe it was just the pumpkins they had sitting outside? They also have a decent list of menu items to you're looking to snack or want a happy hour drink. Yes, they have booze! I believe they do a daily happy hour at 5 with wine and charcuterie boards. Definitely a repeat coffee shop for me!

I stopped into Bode Hub for a late night bite, and I really enjoyed my visit. There's an outdoor seating area that's really nice, but I was visiting late, so it was dark and a bit chilly, and I opted to stay inside. The indoor area is roomy with lots of seating. There's a full bar and plenty of non-alcoholic options for drinks as well. They have a small, but ranging, menu of food to order, and plenty of snack items to purchase from the shelves. They also have lots of souvenirs and travel items for purchase, so it's a great spot to check out if you've forgotten to pack something, or you're looking for something fun to take home with you. I ordered Pretzels & Beer Cheese and a Topo Chico. The server opened my beverage for me and told me to have a seat anywhere. They weren't busy during my visit, so I actually moved around the space a bit to check it all out. My food didn't take long, and it came out (very) hot and fresh! I enjoyed the pretzels, and the beer cheese had a nice consistency and flavor. I flipped through some local magazines while I dined, which I really enjoyed, so I appreciated them having those lying around. If I find myself staying within walking distance again I will definitely come back to this spot to check it out during daytime hours. I want to explore the outdoor area a bit more and try some more of their menu. If you're in the area you should check it out!

Beautiful ambiance and total crap coffee. We got two house coffees that tasted like they had been sitting out for about three hours. The espresso tasted burned and they don't bother to mixed drinks at all. The interior is really pretty, but not worth coming back for that.

In a Yelp search, we searched for "Dog Friendly" coffee shops. This place came up and looks wonderful! Before heading out, we decided to call to be sure we could bring our dog because we wanted to walk there from our hotel. It turns out, they do NOT allow dogs (except service animals). For some of you, that will be a plus, and for some, a negative. Therefore, I give it 3 stars.

Looked for a dog-friendly breakfast place on google. Picked this place. After a long walk, we were greeted with a sharp we don't allow dogs per the owner. Nobody on patio and a quiet little dog at a picnic table and we were most unwanted. Fine. Outdoor table at Starbucks was great!

Visited three times over my long weekend stay in Nashville. Lavender latte with oat milk and yogurt parfait were both delicious. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Outdoor friendly, shaded seating, trendy and relaxed. Staffing was very friendly. Secluded and right at the heart of downtown.

Great outdoor experience with a coffee shop/ hotel vibe on the interior. Would go again.

This place is apart of the Bode Hotel/Condo we were staying at. We went here to get coffee the morning we checked out. Service is fast, the coffee and bagel was really good. Place is very clean and cozy. Walked over at 10am and they went packed.

Great iced coffee. Really lively outdoor setting. Picnic tables and cornhole. Cute indoor area too. Very pleasant all the way around.

This place was so cute! They have tons of outside seating which is beautiful and the inside is beautiful too with lots of plants. I would totally come back here.

Sunday funday was real this past weekend. My pals and I were looking for a low key spot to drink, talk, and play games. Bode was the perfect spot. It is a really hip new hotel in Nashville and the hub is their lounge area. They provide an excellent space for light breakfast, including coffee, and cocktails, beer, and wine. Aesthetic was on point. The space is intimate but open and bright with natural lighting. Think modern cabin vibes? You order from the counter and they bring drinks and snacks to where you were sitting. They had a special yesterday where you got a charcuterie board and a bottle of Prosecco with orange juice for self serve mimosas for $25. Obviously, we went with that. We also tried a couple of their cocktails. The names are escaping me, but they were delicious. One thing to note is the cocktails are pre-batched and there is not a full bar. As we sat, I also observed that they sell artisanal travel goods. This is convenient if you're staying in the hotel, but also if you're just in the mood to buy some kitschy essentials. Stop by Bode Hub, just make sure your camera is ready.

What a great coffee shop. Beautiful indoor and outdoor space including bean bag toss games. Coffee was very good and the ricotta toast was perfect. Will stop here on every visit to Nashville.

Only go here for coffee/tea. My drink was good but the food was awful. The breakfast sandwich was the worst I've ever had - super dry, hard as a rock, only 2 tiny pieces of bacon, and the smallest driest egg I've ever seen. Staff was really nice but the owners should really do better.

Yummy yogurt and granola for breakfast. Good coffee too. All with a friendly staff.

This place a hidden gem, only a few blocks from downtown! Staff is super friendly and very helpful. My friends and I grabbed a six pack and played corn hole outside by their fire pits. So many spots for great photos, the vintage truck is adorable. They have everything from cheese and wine to coffee. Gotta check this place out!

Beautiful, quiet, welcoming place to come have coffee or a cocktail (or both!) and do work or meet friends. I'm glad I stumbled on this place while visiting from out of town!

Cafe within short term rental units. Cool space, but since it caters to tourists, its overpriced.

Fantastic little local spot. Good for coffee/working during the day and great beer / cocktail selection during the evening. Also has a fantastic outdoor area with pingpong, etc. for breaks during your work day.

This place is incredible - centrally located and close to all the action in Nashville. I stopped by with some friends in the morning for coffee and it was such a chill place that we ended up coming back for drinks later that evening. We were able to grab some brews and hang outside by the fire which was perfect this time of year. Don't know how we stumbled across this place but I know we will be back!
