"Props to Australians for giving us avocado toast, especially this version at this sun-drenched Melbourne-inspired breakfast cafe in 12 South. But the Aussie-inspired hits keep coming in the form of muesli with chia seeds, berries, and candied almonds, turkish eggs covered in garlicky yogurt, and decadent ricotta hotcakes with strawberry and rhubarb compote. Throw in a flat white or beet cacao latte, and you’ve got an ideal breakfast hang for your Sci-Fi-and-Sexy book club or a few friends you haven’t seen in a while." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

Great spot to catch up with friends, grab a healthy lunch without taking too long. I’ll head back for the vegan options and the easy parking. Vegan choices: several options, and easy modifications on the different bowls. Whole ingredients, clean flavors, and filling. There’s a tons of drinks choices from cafe choices to a full bar. Parking lot is right in front … one of the easiest to get to on 12S

The cafe was very cute and the ambience is welcoming. We ordered shakshuka and avacado toast which were pretty underwhelming, the frech toast had a unique flavor - which tasted pretty good.

I think they deserve way more than a 4.3. Been there many times and food has always been great, servers are engaged and kind and helpful, super cute space with lovely atmosphere. No complaints here!

Delicious, high quality brunch. Zucchini corn fritters were very flavourful. The bacon was high quality. Godmother sando was great.

We really liked this restaurant. We had a party of 10 people and everyone was impressed with food and drinks. The Hamburger was delicious. The egg dishes were great. Chicken Katsu sandwich was a favorite. The French Toast was amazing. The Bowls were amazing. Overall a very positive experience and highly recommend

I was pleasantly surprised. All 3 of our dishes this morning were amazing. I got the mushroom toast and it was phenomenal! What a fabulous creation! I got it with feta though instead of goat cheese. I will definitely be back. I have to try the smoked salmon next! If I can Make myself not get the mushroom toast. Only annoying thing about the area is paying $16 for parking.

We came for lunch, 6 adults and a baby we asked being seated outside and our server accepted then someone came out and said it can’t be possible that they can’t put two tables together, even when it was empty. Our server was friendly and efficient. The food is something special, everything was tasty and the presentations are great. The only problem is the management, the situation with the outside tables was very uncomfortable and they are charging for Credit card payment is ridiculous. I loved the place and service but I won’t come back.

Nothing super outstanding about this place. Unique variety on the menu but otherwise not impressed. Pretty expensive, as expected by its location. I had a blt, the bread was weird but it was good. Then I had some mock tail that was pretty good. Waitress was very kind. Overall just nothing special but pretty alright place.

Visited Nashville over the weekend and was looking for a brunch spot and stumbled on Hearts. The wait was like 20 minutes so not bad for a Sunday morning. This location is cute and has nice minimalist decor. There's seating inside and out. A great food and drink menu, and kind service from staff + good prices. I ordered eggs scrambled on toast with a hash brown and avocado, a single hot cake and an iced chai latte. Everything was really tasty but especially the eggs and sourdough toast. Really fresh and flavorful food. I would definitely come back here!

The food was amazing and I really liked the Eggs Benny that I had as well as the espresso martini that was on the menu with the banana something in it. The server was nice and attentive. I really liked the vibe of the place and how it isn't directly on the street. I think I would come back here again sometime when I'm in the area.

I've been to Hearts in both East Nashville and now the 12 south location. Love their food so much! Their coffee is great and this location has a walk up window for espresso drinks. Brunch is my favorite meal here but would love to return for happy hour at some point!

Honestly, this place was super overpriced for what it is. We walked in on a Sunday morning and it was pretty quiet, but they didn't want us to sit at a table in case bigger parties came in (despite the tables staying empty the whole time)... The orange juice is a huge rip off because it's like over half just ice, same with the iced coffee (&they charge for refills). The food was good but the portions are so small for the price. Overall a cute spot but they are just too many better options in the area for the cost.

These are the best pancakes I've ever tasted!! The strawberry rhubarb sauce danced the line between sweet and tangy perfectly. They have a fluffy but chewy texture that is almost mochi like. The ambiance in the restaraunt is beautiful, with green plants in a light airy space. Great spot for healthier but very yummy options!

Yelp
So good! I love Australian brunches and this menu has so many options to choose from. We went with matcha, iced coffee, banana bread (with coconut) rhubarb pancakes, fries and the vegan chorizo breakfast burrito. Every item was a 10/10. I'd highly recommend if you're visiting Nashville. If I lived here it would be a staple in my rotation. The ambiance is mellow and nice patio outside. Service was great and accommodating.

Coffee was great! Lovely place to get a to-go coffee or sit down for a breakfast. The food was good and the service was quick. There's a good variety of options. If you need a breakfast place in 12 South, I'd recommend.

Okay, bit if a unique review (mainly for anyone with sensory sensitivities) Hearts is fantastic-- It is SUPER overstimulating and loud if you're neurodivergent or autistic in the slightest haha The food was INCREDIBLE. Have been to both locations, consistently fantastic. The space is really beautiful and well thought out, And service is kind! I will say I could barely hear the server speak, and was sweating because of how loud it was, but, when I go ahead, will just ask to sit outside on the patio or try it out during a lower traffic hour. Loved it!

Thankful for the winter special - Ginger latte. Yum. Excellent service at the walk up window, accommodating me & my dog, Ginger. Highly recommend.

Hearts has amazing food and drinks (their matcha is the best). I am so excited that they opened a second location in 12 south. Although this location is crowded they do have some parking but remember there is tons of street parking throughout the neighborhood. Brunch or lunch, anytime. An Australian brunch can never do you wrong.

Fresh, light and delicious brunch option. I loved the corn and zucchini fritters dish. The corn and zucchini fritters are tasty with a bit of sweetness from the corn, the poached egg was perfectly done, goat cheese + avocado added creaminess, and the arugula added a nice lightness to the dish. Only I could have done without was the chimchurri, it was too strong (almost wasabi like) and citrusy. We shared a pumpkin bread which I didn't love because it had some spices in it that I didn't love. Their matcha rose had a super strong rose flavor that overpowered the matcha, I'd probably opt for a regular matcha next time.

I had one of the best meals I've eaten in a while at Hearts this week. We were able to sit at the bar right away on a Saturday morning, and our server Shelby was so friendly, telling us all about the restaurant owner and other associated businesses. The twice baked French toast was amazing, and I have been thinking about these corn and zucchini fritters since I left!! I'll be recommending hearts to anyone visiting Nashville from now on!

This place was amazing! Delicious, healthy and flavorful food! Great ambiance as well. Came here with a group for brunch. Great service and friendly staff. There was some wait time as the place was packed, but it was well worth the wait! Definitely recommend this place and will be back when in Nashville!

Sat at a communal table but waited 15 min less than expected. Food was phenomenal. Staff was very friendly. Perfectly mixed mimosa and fun environment. Would love to check out their events and other location.

We love Hearts! I was already a fan of the east location thanks to several healthy, gluten free and dairy free options + excellent drinks and a crazy tasty smoothy. Thrilled it's now only a short walk away from us in the Hillsboro area! I can enjoy a hearty meal here and leave feeling great and refreshed due to the attention they pay to high quality fruits and veggies (that are seamlessly integrated into almost all entree choices). We're big fans of the toasted pumpkin bread, eggs benedict, salmon toast, and avocado toast. The eggs are consistently poached perfectly. The folks who work here are kind, attentive, and accommodating. Just the nicest staff! We really appreciate Shelby in particular :) The vibe is relaxed even though service is quick. They don't play music too loud so it's easy to have a conversation with your friends and enjoy your time there. Tables are primarily inside but they also have some outdoor seating (with shade) for when the weather is good. The only downside is they did buy those tragically uncomfortable metal restaurant chairs so we typically opt to sit at the wooden booth side of the restaurant or at the bar. We're loving having a great new breakfast and brunch spot in the neighborhood!!

What a great place! Loved the decor and atmosphere here. Staff is super welcoming and nice. Our server today was Eddy. He did a fantastic job serving us! The food is really good quality and coffee is also delicious. I'll be back.

Enjoyed meeting a few colleagues here for a Saturday brunch. It's good to know where to park as the lot nearest is a paid lot. Even with a wait it was worth it.

Went for brunch on a Friday- Walked right in with no wait time. Fresh squeezed orange juice was yummy and they have a large coffee bar so you can order to dine in or also get to go. The eggs benny was 10/10 and french toast was also a big hit with the peaches! Definitely a small space so come early before it gets busy or make a reservation for dinner time.

Great brunch spot! Did not expect the chicken katsu to be so massive, but it was excellent

Ambiance was great; service was great; Bloody Mary was great; eggs Benedict was maybe the best I've had

Had the best service at this place! The young lady bartender or waitress with the dog mom tattoo that took our order was fabulous, friendly and made great recommendations. We shared about our dogs and she was very nice. The maitre'd or whoever the guy was, checked in on us often and was nice as well. He made a great suggestion on the Brussels. It's a very clean esthetic and it was medium noise level, we didn't feel like we had to be very quiet. Prices were decent as well. It's tucked in the back so if you weren't looking, you'd miss it. I definitely recommend this place for breakfast or brunch!

I would have taken pics but I dove in with no control! lol AMAZING!! Best pancake in town and the homemade sourdough was divine! Can't wait to come back. (So glad we skipped the Buttermilk Ranch)

Arrived at 9am with a group of 5 on a Sunday, and we were seated right away. Great atmosphere and service. Many of us ordered the Corn Zucchini Fritters and loved it. Bacon was perfect! The Ricotta Hotcakes were good but maybe could have been a tad bit sweeter. Overall, a great spot!

Other than the bread being a bit too soggy this place was super cute! Service was above and beyond!

Came in to grab a latte to go, the server says they don't do to go orders right now cuz they are busy. Yet the barista standing by the counter is wiping the cups and not making any Coffee drinks. The staff is lazy and don't want to serve people here. I work at a breakfast restaurant so I know that this is bad service. Never going here.

Food: Corn Critters! If I could eat a dish for brunch everyday it would be this. Hearty, savory, varied, and good portion that left me feeling full and with energy. Drink: Rose Matcha Latte. Could taste both the matcha and Rose flavor it was the right ratio as neither flavor overpowered the other. Cortado coffee served in a shot glass and the espresso is rich, foam thick and not bitter. Service: visited on a Thursday around 10:00 and it was not super busy. Food came quickly and both the bartender/server were very polite and gave good suggestions. Ambiance: welcoming, good music. Loved the bar stool chairs. The decor and color palette homely and gave me that zen-serene vibe. Would definitely bring friends/family, or have a business meeting.

We visited the 12 South restaurant and it was so good. Great coffee, amazing whipped ricotta, and the Godmother sandwich, and all of it will be ordered when we visit again. The Godmother was Spivey and the ricotta toast was sweet because of the honey.

Cute little spot tucked away in 12 South. Food was amazing and decadent. The waitress was so sweet and personable.

Devoid of guest Wi-Fi - a modern-day café staple - and charging an audacious $1.50 for a mere coffee refill, Hearts seems to have missed the memo on what constitutes a welcoming café atmosphere. The rigidity extends to their menu too: absolutely no substitutions, even when the café was as empty as a deserted outback. This inflexibility, coupled with the lack of basic hospitality, leaves much to be desired. The pricing only adds to the farce. Whether it's the Eggs Benny, the salmon toast, or the French toast, each plate comes with a $17 price tag. The uniformity of pricing, regardless of the dish's complexity or ingredients, borders on the comedic. It's a financial puzzle, detaching itself from any known logic in café pricing strategies. Hearts 'Cafe' stands as a contradiction to the very essence of café culture. It's a place where the promise of a casual, inviting atmosphere is overshadowed by a surprising lack of basic amenities and a rigid, unaccommodating staff. A visit here is a foray into the world of paradoxes, where the term 'café' is used liberally, and the customer's comfort and preferences seem to be an afterthought. Run don't walk to the buttermilk ranch just up the road.

My husband & I stumbled upon hearts 12 south after shopping at Vuori. We initially went in to grab coffee but after looking around at what everyone was eating we decided to grab some menus. I ordered the avocado toast & my partner got the French toast. Both were unreal and came out relatively quickly. We can't wait to come back & try more of the menu!

The food and service are ALWAYS top notch!! I wish I had taken a photo of everything we ordered and drank but it was all so delicious looking we couldn't wait! Lived up to the expectation.

Had brunch here with friends, and it was such a lovely experience! They got the Godmother sandwich and both loved it. I was craving some fruit, so I opted for the Cacao Bircher Muesli. SO GOOD! Staff was friendly and ambiance was great -- loved all the plants. Highly recommend!

I really wanted to try this place. It looked very nice clean pretty. But I wanted ann egg sandwich with croissant and they refused to do it for me. I don't understand that concept they have eggs they have sandwiches and they have croissants. Be at 11 o'clock only one person in the restaurant. They said they couldn't do it so I left. Maybe if you were a little bit more flexible you would have more customers.

Yelp
Only giving 2 stars because the food is good. But service is not good. I asked for a smoothie and the guy behind the bar said "we can't make them" then 10 minutes later I proceeded to watch them make a smoothie for someone else right in front of my face! I'm a local and I won't be coming back here! There's plenty of other places with great service on 12th south

I went on a Monday morning for some brunch at this cozy spot. It's small and cute, but unless you're missing food from back in Australia, a pass from me. I ordered the Egg's Benny, and while it was good, I've had better. My friend had the godmother sandwich, also alright. I didn't really like the brioche bun from the sandwich, but the inside was tasty. The point off is mainly from the portion size and price though. For a $17 eggs benedict, I was expecting either a large portion or a very tasty meal. The food was small, pricey, and just pretty good.

It's laughable to not have guest wifi in 2024. Horrible service. Food was good, but will not be back.

Great atmosphere and delicious fresh food! One of those places that no matter what you order you know it will be good.

Being an Aussie, I thought I'd try their sausage roll. What a mistake! First, it doesn't even look like a typical sausage roll. Second, had to send it back as it was stone cold, and when they brought out a new one, I got to taste just how disgusting it was. It tastes nothing like a sausage roll. And to top it all off, I spent the rest of the day on the dunny feeling crook in the guts. talk about the thunder from down under!

Prices are off the charts high. Charming little place and food tasted good but I left hungry. Yet another place caterering to the visitors over the locals.

The Godmother sandwich was AMAZING!! Friendly service and great food. Highly recommend

Absolutely Killer Espresso Martini! Barely removed from mainstreet 12th South. Really nice ambiance and service and surprisingly uncrowned. Saturday 12/30/23.

Yelp
Pretty good, I wasn't blown away though. The eggs on toas was 3 stars. The eggs were delicious, but the toast could have been crispier. The pumpkin bread was probably one of the best slices I've ever had. The serving size was large and it comes with melted butter on top.

Wanted to like this place, but waited at the take out window for a little over 5 minutes and although there was some one right inside the window and they were not very busy or crowded we were never even acknowledged. Went inside with the same result :(. Might be great. Guess we'll never know. Apparently they have enough business.
