"The Saturday line at Dose on the West Side easily spans the length of the tiny space, folks riding their post-workout highs or wrangling small children to make already tight aisleways extra cramped. It’s not hard to figure out why it’s so slammed. The drinks are great, especially the Barcelona—a $6 draft iced coffee topped with soft, salted whipped cream, that’s so popular it has its own T-shirt. Things are a bit more tame during the week, so you can enjoy your chive and goat cheese scone in a smidge more peace. Their East side location is a bigger operation with an extended menu and table service, if that’s more your style." - Ann Walczak
"Dose was the first multi-roaster coffee shop in town, and the owners of this popular West End coffee shop — which opened back in 2009 — also have two other locations in East Nashville and Old Hickory Village. While the East Nashville location is the only one with a bar program (i.e. you can spike your java there), all locations offer a rotating selection of coffees from Counter Culture Coffee all year round along with featured roasts from over two dozen U.S. roasters." - Ellen Fort
"Ash Coffee is the quintessential neighborhood coffee shop filled with stroller-wielding VaHi parents, young adults looking to move the group chat F2F, and those here solely for their thick Vietnamese egg coffee (which has a blowtorched foam top). A well-stocked display case reaffirms that breakfast is the most important meal of the day with pastries like big cinnamon rolls and spicy bacon and egg breakfast sandwiches. Under the cheery glow of natural light flowing in from giant, plant-draped windows, coffee lovers take their place in line. But the wait never seems to matter while perusing fun shelves of tchotchkes a la Richards Variety Store. photo credit: Tabia Lisenbee-Parker photo credit: Tabia Lisenbee-Parker" - Juli Horsford
"Come for the coffee, stay for the food. Catch up with friends or snuggle up with a good book inside one of the booths while enjoying a carefully crafted latte or a hot cup of drip coffee. Whichever you choose, your caffeine kick is best paired with a jalapeno-topped avocado toast or a biscuit packed with egg and gooey cheddar." - Kellie Walton
