"Retrograde is trying on a new look after the sun sets. The new City Heights coffee shop at 2714 Clifton Avenue just debuted the Bar at Retrograde, offering both classic and new cocktail creations after 5 p.m. Notable selections on the drinks menu include the Bloodletter with red wine, apple brandy, pomegranate, and hibiscus; Sidecar Named Desire with apple butter, apple brandy, lemon, cider cinnamon syrup, and Cointreau; and the Retro Fashioned with whiskey, pecan maple brown sugar, and black walnut bitters. The bar also features a wine menu curated by Kelly Boutwell of the Serious Sip, with selections from organic, off-the-beaten-path vineyards and various wines on tap." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

I'm spending the weekend in Nashville and was looking for a brunch spot where I wouldn't have to wait in line to be seated. Fortunately, I discovered a cozy coffee shop that offers a good selection of light bites and isn't hidden away. Inside, the shop has plenty of seating and an open, airy layout with mint-colored walls. It definitely has a clean vibe. What I ordered for brunch are: -iced caramel latte with oat milk -chocolate croissant -chicken pesto sandwich

I ordered the “The Chosen One” bagel sandwich with smoked salmon and cream cheese. It was excellent! Fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. My wife tried the avocado toast and while it was missing tomatoes (even though they were listed on the menu), and ended up spicier than expected due to a heavy hand with the chili flakes, the flavors were still good overall. But the highlight for both of us was definitely from their Summer Seasonals menu. “The Kavlatte” (a coconut and brown sugar latte topped with toasted coconut flakes and sea salt) was absolutely amazing. Both the hot version with oat milk and the iced one with whole milk. Friendly staff, relaxing vibe, and unique drink options. We’ll definitely be back.

We went to Retrograde Coffee for the first time this morning and loved it! I enjoyed the vibe of this coffee shop and the customer service was great. We both ordered the cortado and the everything bagel. So good! Definitely recommend Retrograde Coffee and will be coming back!

This corner local coffee shop is amazing. The customer service is old school classic coffee shop vibe! The whole restaurant was amazing. The manager actually loves his job and wants to be there. So much knowledge about the roasts and brews. All the suggestions we had delighted me. Thanks n for a great visit and experience. We will stay near this location again!! Added a picture: I drink americanos. And they labeled cup USA. I worked in the coffee industry for years. Why did I never think of this!!

Absolutely great coffee with very good homemade bagels! As a designer myself I truly appreciate their decorations and all the great vibes there! Love the latte so much I got the beans back home!

Top notch coffee shop! Incredible espresso. They roast their own beans and make their own syrups. The shagbark tastes amazing, but slightly sweeter than I prefer. Beautiful space!

We were staying at an Airbnb nearby so we came a few times and enjoyed it every time. Good selection of breakfast foods, delicious and unique coffee flavors. Bathrooms were clean.

I came here last weekend when I was in Nashville. I was looking for brunch spots in town, and this spot is a driving distance from my hotel, and it was busy,withinhappened .withinhappened but not overly packed with people out for brunch. I ordered a chicken pesto sandwich and my all-timea favoriteall-time drink, the iced caramel latte with oat milk. I liked my time here and highly recommend this place for hanging out and enjoying a cup. The ambiance is open and very relaxing.

Haley's Comet was delicious. The sourdough bagel was soft and crispy. The vegan sausage had a lot of flavor even though I mostly got a bean flavor. The layout of the shop is very cute and aesthetic. I love the way the sunlight hits on one side of the shop.

This is a nice little coffee shop walkable from our AirBnB. My DH got coffee each morning of our stay. Service was friendly and, for the most part, quick. We had breakfast one morning; chia seed pudding for me (delicious and not overly sweet), while the rest of our party indulged in bagel breakfast sandwiches. They also serve alcoholic beverages but, even in Nashville, breakfast is too early for that for us. Open from 7:00 AM -3:00 PM. If you're in the neighborhood, it won't disappoint.

Cute place with a clean and bright aesthetic. Coffee was good, and the latte art was very cute. Bagels were tasty and reasonably priced. Was pretty quiet on a weekday morning and would make a good place to study or work because it has plenty of outlets in convenient spots.

Retrograde coffee was pretty good. The bagel was standard and had a good cream cheese ratio. The caramel latte I got was good! Overall I thought the ample seating was perfect for people who are looking to sit with groups or for laptop work. There were tons of outlets which made it seem convenient for people working from home at the cafe. I felt like the service aspect could be improved and some mini steps to improve seating/the overall experience could help the business excel even more

Retrograde coffee. As a first timer, it was a convenient place to grab a quick breakfast as it's right below my apartment. I ordered a bagel and peanut butter, a London fog, and breakfast potatoes. While I'm very particular about my London fog, it was very delicious. However the items I bought to eat were disappointing. The bagel was salted, which was weird to me. And the breakfast potatoes tasted like leftovers from the previous day. Old and soggy. The ambiance is really nice, I'll try the spot again but in the evenings since they do a tapa style late night menu and have a bar. I'd get a London fog in the AM again, but that's it. The service was nice, the employees were pleasant and answered the few questions I did have.

Great WiFi! AC was strong--ha! I got the bark-something latte and did not like it (personal preference). I also got the pesto sandwich and it was dry. The customer service was great! Clean bathroom.

I have been getting coffee here for over a year and more recently the occasional breakfast. They can be busy and the food can take awhile so it isn't my first choice but the several breakfast bagels I've had were good. Today was not the case. I ordered the Pepper, onion, egg, and Cream Cheese bagel that was on the board. If I'm being generous it had cream cheese on one quarter of the sandwich and not much there. Fortunately I had time to spare and decided to eat at the counter. I had gotten it to go. I was able to ask for cream cheese for the last quarter of the sandwich. Overall I'd say the sandwich was bad because it really needs the cream cheese to elevate the raw peppers and cooked onion.
