Frothy Monkey

Great coffee place in a quiet area of town. We loved the vibe and the coffee was great. Staff was very friendly and you can tell that many locals come here on the weekend.

We kicked off our first day in Nashville with a visit to Frothy Monkey, and it was the perfect start. The chicken salad sandwich was fresh and flavorful, and the breakfast bagel was just right. OMG the Hoff’s hot sauce was fire!!! The golden monkey latte had such good flavor, exactly what I wanted. But the best part of the experience was the service—genuinely warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The space is beautiful, and the neighborhood adds to the charm. We’ll definitely be back.

Had a wonderful brunch here and was impressed by the great service and the delicious food. I love that the full menu is offered all day and they also have a large drink menu of coffee and teas.

Found this café completely by accident, and I’m so glad I did. The food was absolutely delicious—everything was full of flavor and clearly made with care. One standout was the French toast—perfectly cooked, not too sweet, and easily one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Everything came out hot and right on time, and the service was excellent. Our server, Aiden, was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. If you’re in the area, definitely stop by—and don’t leave without trying the French toast!

cool little community coffee shop & restaurant. Popular neighborhood breakfast place..Fun & friendly staff. Can sit inside or outside under covered patio,

Good place. Chocolate croissants are yummy.! Be hive bowl was nice.!

I’d like to start off with WOW (Owen Wilson voice).. I didn’t catch his name (taller, shoulder length blonde hair) but WOW WOW WOW.. as a barista of 12 years, I’m rather picky with my lattes and used to bland warm dairy products especially when I visit shops out of my home state.. did I say WOW already? The milk was frothed PERFECTLY, stopped me in tracks and I had to say something.. the key to a perfect latte is the microfoam and this kid has the gift.. very very satisfied..

Try number 2. Nice little, busy spot in East Nashville. Was seated fairly quick. First seated visit here and it would have been an epic fail on their part. Forgotten at the table. Food was ordered, I received mine and my husband's coffees and no food showed 🤔. The waiters fixed this quickly (they were very nice about this). To help our hungry bellies they provided us with a chocolate croissant while we waited. Food arrived not much longer after that. Good basic breakfast.

I had such a fantastic experience at Frothy Monkey! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. Our server, Hailey, was absolutely outstanding--attentive, friendly, and on top of every detail without ever feeling rushed. I ordered the Havana latte, and it was incredible--perfectly balanced, smooth, and just the right hint of sweetness. For food, I got the shrimp and grits, and wow... they were bursting with flavor. Creamy, savory, and beautifully seasoned. Overall, this visit was a 10/10. Great service, great food, and great vibes.

When visiting my Yelp bestie, she was super excited to show me her off the menu special matcha. She knows I'm obsessed with matcha, so was excited to show me this. They have a honey rosemary latte here. She asked for the honey rosemary syrups in a matcha latte instead and BOYY! is it good. I highly recommend trying this one. We ordered our matchas to go and they came out pretty quickly. I also got a very yummy lemon pound cake I devoured while we waited. In addition to these treats, I decided to buy two bags of beans to take home with me. I got a light roast and medium roast. I am so sad that I've finished the medium roast. Their beans are SO GOOD. I highly recommend taking some home with you. This is a very cute location of Frothy Monkey. It has a coffee shop vibe mixed-in with a casual diner. There was plenty of seating both inside and outside. And the people who worked here were really sweet. I'm excited to return for more beans and to try other drinks.

Overall: Got to check out this other Frothy Monkey location and I loved it! I got the banana matcha and it was so good. This time, I also got to try their Salami & Swiss sandwich and it was so delicious. Great for lunch and also a pretty solid study spot for me! They have some outlets, and plenty of table space. Service: Very friendly and quick staff, they are always checking if you need anything and are happy to help. Ambiance: Nicely located, good parking - and the place itself is so cute! It is very aesthetically pleasing and homey inside.

We enjoyed this place which was recommended by an online article. We stopped on a Sunday around noon. The restaurant is decorated in industrial chic style, clean and comfortable. Outdoor seating is available. Admittedly, the service was not overly warm but completely efficient and timely. Our waitress was extremely attentive and helpful. The food was excellent. I had the blackened shrimp and grits with two over easy eggs. Absolutely delicious. My daughter had the Farm Breakfast and she too loved it. The drinks were fabulous. We each had a Moracco and it was so yummy! Drip coffee was good; not too strong but robust and tasty. Finally I left with a Golden Monkey coffee drink to go and it was a perfect finisher. It is not cheap but very good food and drink. We will be back.

Visiting the area and found this gem! The service was prompt and friendly and the food was delicious. We went during a weekday and there were some people working with their laptops and it was a very casual vibe. I'm guessing they may get more crowded on the weekends.

And another one- just right on the balance, clearly made by someone who knows their craft. The space felt welcoming and relaxed, like the kind of café you can ease into all day.

Great place for delicious coffees, teas and kombucha. We came for lunch and enjoyed the pork tacos and the salmon salad. Food was tasty and reasonable. Servers super friendly and accommodated your dietary needs. Stop by for eating or they do great take out orders too. Enjoyed the vibe and the friendly staff. Easy street parking too! Forgot photos but will add next time. We will return!!

My first impression was how great the location was... tucked in a neighborhood off the beaten path. Small eclectic joint and filled my need for a Sunday brunch! Services were friendly and quick. Solid biscuits and gravy that hit the spot. I look forward to going back as there's a chocolate shop across the street.

What an eclectic place! The neighborhood around here is so cute and very up-and-coming. When you walk in, it has a great outdoor patio and a very small inside. The coffees are on the sweet side so I wish that I would've just gotten some thing like I usually get. I had a spinach and feta pastry which I could've eaten three of them. They were so good! We just did orders to go, which did take a little while, but the pastry came out hot and fresh so it was worth it

My go to order: oat milk latte with housemade caramel sauce I wanting to check out Frothy Monkey for so long and I was so excited to finally check out this spot! They have your regular espresso drink offerings as well as many creative and seasonal drinks. After trying some of their drinks, my favorite is the classic oat milk latte with home made caramel sauce which was perfectly creamy and subtly sweet. I'll definitely return to Frothy Monkey again soon to treat myself to my new favorite latte or for brunch!

This an absolute gem and is by far our favorite breakfast place whenever we come to visit. The food and drinks are delicious and the staff is always sweet as can be!

Overpriced for a very small portion. The service is slower than the second coming of Christ. You're better off going to McDonalds and get a couple bacon egg and cheese biscuits.

Local neighborhood coffee shop, consistently delicious. Grateful to have it close by!

The staff was super friendly! The food and drinks were delicious. Loved trying the different spreads for the biscuit board!

I was excited to try this location based on a friend's recommendation but was highly disappointed with my experience. When I sat down, I waited over 15 minutes without any acknowledgment from the staff. Most of the tables were empty, so it didn't look like I arrived during rush hour. After 15 minutes without so much as a glass of water, I got up and went to the takeout counter to order food. I ordered the Hive Bowl which should've come with vegan sausage but I was asked if I wanted regular sausage for some reason so instead I tried it with the mushrooms. The food did NOT make up for the lack of service at all, unfortunately. Hopefully, the other locations have better food and service.

I really wanted to like this place, but we found the menu lacking, the prices steep, and the coffee bland,but beautiful. Food/drink service was fine and the ambiance was typical of Nashville. We stayed long enough for me to struggle to finish 1/4 of a cup of coffee and then skidaddled.

I have been hearing about Frothy Monkey since I moved to Music City, and I was so excited to finally check out their East Nashville location! A friend and I stopped in for a coffee date on a Tuesday and were able to grab a table right away! I'm told this is one of their "less busy" locations - but there were still plenty of people here on a weekday afternoon. We shared their Artisan Cheese Board, which had a nice mix of textures and flavors! This is great for a light shareable snack - and we were especially surprised with how tasty their house-made Pimento Cheese is. I also ordered the Havana Latte, which I've dubbed the best latte I've had in Nashville! This is the perfect sweet and creamy coffee, without being too sweet. It was so good that I dragged my husband back to this location the following weekend so that he could try it too. I'll definitely return to Frothy Monkey again soon to sample more of their creative coffee offerings!

Food was decent but felt kinda ignored by the staff and it seemed like they had some staffing/shortage issues. Went for brunch on a Sunday and waited 30 min for a table outside, then 20 minutes before anyone came to take our order. Don't come during any rush time, it'll take 2+ hours to get a table/food. Coffee was good and food was decent but overall not worth the wait. Coffee: Hound dog: 5/5 mix of smooth peanut butter and banana, wouldn't have thought this would be good but the flavors balanced great Havana: 4/5 pretty good not too sweet Turtle: 4/5 Food: Capri: 4/5 pesto was fantastic, i opted to add bacon which added more flavor, too much egg and the plate was also incredibly tiny which made it hard to eat Avo toast: regular avocado toast with mozzarella Loaded biscuits and gravy: 3.5/5 pretty heavy and oily Inside is just a regular cafe, nothing too fancy.

A great brunch spot tucked into a cute neighborhood! Coffee was great, food was light and flavorful, and service was kind. The breakfast sandwiches, and their bagels in general, were a highlight!

Wow, I cannot believe I haven't been here sooner. The reviews rave about it and boy they're not wrong. We came in because they have dog-friendly outdoor seating, WIN!!! The food was incredible and for such a good price. Any time I want to meet someone for breakfast/brunch, this will definitely be the go-to spot.

The brunch and coffee was excellent. I had the omelet and turtle latte! We bear the rush at around 10:30 am on a Sunday. So we were seated and served quickly.

We went to frothy monkey on a Wednesday night for "wine down Wednesday". Overall, the food was delicious - the pork Barbacoa was a big hit and the PMP and Betsy were great sandwiches. We did not get the wine flights, but the glasses of Syrah and Blanche were good the price. The staff was nice as always, just like during breakfast time. Look forward to going back and trying the wine flights.

This is the third Frothy Monkey I've been to and I must say they are consistent at all locations. I was involved in a live theater event nearby and was drawn in. I will talk about all the usual metrics of food, service and ambiance. I've been to this location four times in the past few days because of it's proximity and the fact that there are few other eateries in the area. It is a coffee shop, and the coffee is very good. I'm not into elaborate coffee drinks, I just like coffee. Theirs is just wonderful - hot and black. On my first visit, my server made an error in telling me that they had chocolate croissants. They were sold out. I ordered the plain version and she offered it as complimentary because of her error. I refused the idea because the plain one was just as acceptable. And it was good. Stopping by for dinner, I ordered the charcuterie because I had fasting blood work the next morning and did not want to over indulge. It was interesting. It included bits of sun dried tomato. They were very sweet and I noticed they were included in many other dishes. Another surprise was the sun dried mango. Two cheeses included were quite tasty and unique. Third time coming in, I went straight to the display of pastries so that I did not have to have the server ping-ponging back and forth. The cream cheese pastry was great. The filling was tasty and the pastry flaky. Last night, I chose to have dinner here to avoid Nashville rush hour traffic. I had the salmon. It is served on cold quinoa, nicely seasoned on top, with red onion and (again) sun dried tomatoes. I'm not a big fan of quinoa, but I'm not averse to having it. I just don't have a lot of opportunity to enjoy it. I know that it is high in carbohydrates, so with my diabetes, I enjoyed "enough" and left some. Overall,, the menu is progressive creative. While I enjoy different ethnicity restaurants, this is unique. Trendy might also cover the idea. That means I had trouble finding a dish to try. Take my salmon dish as an example. I would have been happy with rice instead of quinoa, so I had to stretch out of my comfort zone. Likewise, the Basil Chicken lured me in, but I passed because I did not want the butternut squash. Each time I was there, I had a different server and wait times varied based on who served my table and how many other customers were there. Big windows give the place a nice bright, airy feeling. Seating is simple but effective. I like the genre of music, which is from the 70's or so. Upscale paper napkins wrap substantial utensils. Overall, the menu is creative and trendy, but the food is delicious. Friendly servers take good care of you in a bright dining area.

I can only laugh at the $24 charcuterie/antipasti in a box I was served this afternoon. I've had better charcuterie in a lunchable. I've had better charcuterie at Hudson News in the Airport. If 7Eleven offered charcuterie, it would be better than frothy monkey. Not one item was prepared, all processed and packaged Kroger grocery store quality. I strongly suggest not eating here unless you are from East Nashville in which case you have no perception of quality. Ask for Sebastien, he's oblivious.

The quality of the food was good, and I appreciated that they sourced ingredients from farms. They are also dog-friendly, which we really appreciated. When we arrived, we informed the staff that we had a dog and asked to be put on the waitlist for the patio. It wasn't a problem, and we were told there would be a 15 minute wait. After 30 minutes, they called us for our table, but they had forgotten we had a dog and had assigned us an indoor table instead. As a result, we had to wait another 30 minutes for an outdoor table. What we originally thought would be 15 minutes, turned into an hour. Once seated, our waitress came over and told my boyfriend that his eyes were striking and that he was beautiful, then continued to flirt with him. This made me extremely uncomfortable, as it was clearly inappropriate and disrespectful -- especially since we were there with my dad. The food and drinks were great, but I would recommend a different location for better service.

Nope nope ‍ nope. Was so sorry I wasted part of my vacation time. Not a very nice place. No such thing as Southern hospitality in fact they make you feel as if you don't belong. Yes it is placed in a neighborhood and it's not welcoming. I ordered the $13. Cali Toast. Mind you I was told they were out of avocado. no problem. I said use white beans instead.? Received a warm slice of toast a slice of fresh mozzarella cut in 1/2 3 slices of marinated roma tomato on dry warm bread with a cup of white bean chili of some sort. I ask them to please toast my bread, they asked "isn't it?" I said nope I also told them my bacon was missing. Pictured is the first piece of warm bread with 1/2 of the return toasted piece of toast. Is it just me or is there a noticeable size difference? Also the bacon was raw and the attitude temperature dropped to a chilly yuck. Not welcoming rather we were bothering and they made sure we noticed by the lack of good customer service. I was recommended to try this place. I'm recommending you don't. Especially if you were looking for a nice place with good quality food and friendly people.

!!!BEWARE!!! I left a tip in cash and paid for my meal with my Cash App Card. A few hours later, I receive a message from my Cash App stating that my total was updated to include a tip, although I didn't write down a card tip when paying. If Frothy Monkey has a policy where they automatically include tips for card payments, they need to do a better job of displaying that information.

Ah, this one is simple. Excellent food. Excellent service. Excellent coffee. Very pleasant place to sit outside. I happened to be there on a very hot and humid day. They had plenty of fans going for outside guests (in addition to AC inside). Writing this review two months after I visited and I can still remember the great sandwich I had there. What's not to like?

One of my favorite coffee spots. The food is yummy and coffee selection is unique. I've never been disappointed when I stop here.

What a gem of a coffee shop. Super chill ambiance and friendly baristas. Went with a group and we all ordered something different. I got the monkey mocha and it had a delightful hint of banana. A friend got the Joanne and it was so unique and delicious. Already decided we're going back again tomorrow!

By far the best breakfast and specialty coffee spot in East. So consistent, great service, incredible ambiance that isn't stuffy. Every meeting, meet up, work session have been so nice with the help of frothy monkey I truly love this place.

Nashville, TN A place that serves #realtea as in they didn't give me a dinky tea bag when I asked for tea ! They served loose tea leaves in a filter in a pot and it was the cutest set up! Places get extra extra brownie points when they go the EXTRA mile to source leaves for hot tea . Thank you @frothymonkey for exceeding my expectations. Loved my breakfast too. #nashville #tennessee #countrymusic #nashvilletn #musiccity #music #country #singer #love #songwriter #tn #franklintn #hottea #nashvilletennessee #livemusic #atlanta #newmusic #eastnashville #musician #guitar #texas #murfreesboro #explore #photography #countrygirl #explorepage #art #frothymonkey #nashvillemusic

This is our very first stop once arriving to Nashville, and we are so happy we decided to give this place a visit! The staff is very friendly. The ambience is wonderful and the people and food are amazing! We were super hungry from a long flight early this morning and arrived just in time for brunch, and decided to give this place a visit. My wife and I both had wonderful breakfasts and even got something for our son. We will certainly be back and would recommend this place to anyone visiting Nashville. Zoe our waitress was extremely attentive and did a great job serving us! She even provided recommendations which were spot on! Keep up the great work!

Nashville, Tn. Looking for breakfast one morning and The Frothy Monkey was in walking distance from our AB&B. All I wanted was my latte and a bowl of granola but alas, no granola here. I instead had sausage on hash, it was pretty good except the spice in the sausage dominated just a bit too much. Can't complain though about the amount of sausages, there was plenty. My wife got the California breakfast, pretty much standard fare, but with a nice chunk of avocado. Our lattes were decent but the froth was thin. The espresso was also a bit weak for a robust latte. Prices were higher than average here for breakfast but the place was packed, Covid be damned.

Extremely welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff and an open concept with lots of seating! Coffee was very yum and the strawberry cheesecake was one of the best desserts I've had at a café. Support local businesses and give a try!

Always great coffee and customer service. This time we had breakfast and it was delicious. This is my favorite Frothy Monkey location.

Beautiful evening to sit outside and enjoy some lattes. Or your favorite hot beverage of choice Tonight we got a Monkey Mocha and a Havanna Latte (think a Cuban with sweetened condensed milk, star anise, and cinnamon) . The Frothy Monkey drinks we enjoyed: The Monkey Morcha has a taste a banana. And the Havanna Mocha has a nice spice flavor. The barista was really friendly and gave recommendations

Every time I try to give Frothy a chance I regret it :( I live just down the street and their coffee is genuinely good! I keep going back to try to give it another chance but every time I am let down by their rude staff :( You can tell the company really puts effort into their coffee and ambiance but perhaps they should direct that attention towards their staff instead. I imagine the likelihood of them not being paid well being likely because of their high turnover as well or just poor management. Today I had to wait 5 minutes just to be greeted by someone to take my order as people were looking at me and acknowledging I was there but not speaking to me or even giving the courtesy of telling me "hey so sorry we'll be with you in a moment." I'm a bartender, I get it, but this is when a manager steps in to help. There was also quite a few other staff members that were walking by but didn't seem to be helping or acknowledging customers either unless it was to ask the two staff that WERE running around a question or tell a joke. There's also been a few times where I've gone in and the staff are actually arguing loudly in front of customers which, again, should not be happening. Anyways, the La Rochelle is lovely cheers to the barista that made it you rock :)

Let me just tell you I've always grabbed coffee and just left. This morning I actually ordered breakfast. It was amazing! I got the chorizo biscuits and gravy and a turtle iced latte. Both were absolutely worth it. I love the coffee flavors they have and the service is always wonderful.

I have been to this location several times and enjoyed my experience. However yesterday we came in 45 minutes before closing. Hoping to grab a table and drink some coffee. We were not looking to order food. We were greeted in a very unwelcoming fashion. Told that the building closes in 45 minutes, but that they have started to shut down so that people can leave. The hostess told us we could go to the bar and order to go. The whole experience was very strange. The hostess and service was overall very rude. Not sure if they were just having a bad day, but it felt very off. Our group decided to leave and head to Ugly Mugs up the street instead.

Great coffee & bakery choices! Healthy breakfast options, brunch, lunch/sandwiches & dinners. Staff was excellent, very cheery, helpful and knowledgeable - kudos to Mak & Dexter!! Neighborhood vibe for all...dogs on patio. Will be back!

Tim is the most perfect human being and he should get a raise for the excellent service!

Food was cold, coffee was decent, pastry was almost refrigerated cold, and hard as a rock. Cool hipster vibe with man buns and beanies! Server was not rude but definitely not friendly.

Awesome Spot! Frothy Cold Brew & Kale Ceaser W Chicken Was Amazing ! Super Cool Vibe & Great Service

Beautiful afternoon on the patio. Tasty beer and awesome cheese plate after long walk in the park. Great service and atmosphere. Will be back.

As with any place for brunch in Nashville, prepare for LONG waits. All meals are great proportions. The food menu also has a lot of options. The coffee menu has something for everyone. Staff is ok. Im sure they are short-staffed which leads to a couple inconsistent in customer service. I recommend this location and the one downtown!

My fav place to hang out in Nashville! Love the setting, the neighborhood, the staff. Maty, Shelby, Khalil, Cam, Caleb, and the whole team really work to make you feel comfortable and welcome. Beverages are delish; good so good. Love Avo toast and the bagel sandwich (egg, bacon, cheese). The patio is comfortable sit on; staff always greets and waters our dogs. Great place!

Just placed a to go order for eggs bacon & grits at the counter this morning at 8:05. I checked in the status at 8:30 & someone said they were working on it. I saw two bags sitting in the back but assumed it wasn't mine since they were working on it. 8:50am comes around & I ask where it is. He then turns around & grabs the bag that had been sitting there. I looked at the receipt & it was ready at 8:27am yet not given to me until at sternly asked at 8:50. Sucks cause their coffee is decent but Ihop has better service.

Hadn't been to this location in several years. Went in yesterday afternoon to get an espresso, and good god what a horrorshow! There was next to no one in the place. Most staff were just casually standing around doing nothing. The person at the register was pushy and seemed like they were trying to get me out the door as though I was inconveniencing them. I even asked if they were closing soon, to which they snarkily replied "no, not yet!" (It was 4pm on a Saturday). There was no one else in line behind or in front of me, yet (I kid you not) the barista took FIFTEEN minutes to make me a shot of espresso. He was very casually and apathetically making one drink at a time, using only one side of the machine. I asked if the other side of the machine was out of order, to which he angrily responded "NO, but there are things going on behind the scenes that you don't know about!" I dunno what's going on with this place but it was a cesspool of bad vibes and apathetic staff. Will never return.
