Sump Coffee

Sump Coffee in Nashville is a must-visit! ✨ The cortado is hands-down the best in town—rich, smooth, and perfect. ☕️ The croissants are also amazing, flaky, and go great with the coffee. 🥐 The staff is super friendly, and the whole place has a great vibe. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’m in the states for the first time and I won’t lie, I’ve been struggling with the coffee here. You guys get so much right/ better than where I’m from but coffee is not one of them, for the most part. Thankfully I found Sump, a place where I can get a delicious cup of coffee, coffee as it should be. They saved my trip, the lack of good coffee was bring me down. Thanks!

Delicious coffee here! They make their own syrups in house. Thank you from your friends at ETSC!

This is one of the few coffee shops I’ve been to that seems to completely avoid plastic waste, and their coffee is really good. They have bike racks outside which I really appreciate, and I nice patio outside. And I like their mugs

We went there quite a few times since we were staying at the hotel down the block. Great place for a coffee run. Lots of options. cool decor..staff is great. Lots of parking. Would highly recommend. They have a variety of diff coffee beans which is also cool

The quality has gone down the drain. I used to frequent a year ago, and it was great but i’ve since returned and it’s awful. I wanted to go back and ask for my refund. The barista definitely does not know what he’s doing. Such a shame. Will definitely not be returning.

Outstanding coffee. Lived in Seattle for a decade and am a ‘weird coffee person’ that gets to geeky about a good cup. Passed through sump in a business trip on a recommendation from baristas at other area shops (always a good sign). Had an espresso and a drip. Espresso shot was phenomenal - in my top 10 from anything I’ve had from anywhere. Branding has an onyx vibe. Interesting whole bean selection for purchase. Atmosphere was a little corporate / dead, but in every way, can’t recommend this place high enough.

Great pour over and lattes, good parking, a little pricey and not near anything. Service was good. Glad we walked from Vanderbilt to get there, would definitely go again if we are in the area. Recommend especially if you like black coffee.

I was visiting Nashville on a guys trip. This is one of the coffee shops. I tried, and I have to say out of the three that I tried, this is my favorite. The thing that sold me on on it was getting a pour over with an extra picture of coffee on the side. It really communicates their desire for you to sit and stay for a while and enjoy your coffee. The ambience has a hipster-pirate feel and the service is friendly. If I'm ever back in Nashville, I'll be happy to come back to this coffee shop.

Delicious and artistic, my warm vanilla latte in their saucer was perfect the morning we ducked in, having just found out the Crafty Bastards fair was cancelled due to high winds. But we enjoyed the warmth inside , were served our drinks quickly, and had a nice time . Great location at One City!

It started out as me being the only one here then a few more people trickled in . Not slow , not busy but a consistent Sunday . Music playing was calming and relaxing . The staff were super friendly , helpful and flat out just amazing . Coffee is very flavorful , robust and on the more bold side . They do have a some beautiful live plants like ficus tree , snake plant and Monstera to name a few . It is definitely a relaxing place to just sit drink coffee and gather your thoughts .

The style and vibe of this cafe is so suave. There's plentiful seating indoors and outdoors! Baristas were friendly and efficient. This cafe menu is pretty unique and names bold flavors. My matcha was AMAZING, smooth, and creamy. The strawberry galette was similarly great. My only recommendation would be that the actual drink was as flavorfully bold as the description (ie The Imbolc had white chocolate and cayenne, and while it tasted delicious, was lacking any kind of spicy kick). Overall, would definitely recommend !

I'm on the hunt for my favorite Nashville coffee shop, and Sump is a strong contender. With lots of menu options for coffee connoisseurs, and a decent remote work set-up - what's not to like? You can park in the attached garage and just take the elevator up to the coffee shop. However, I prefer to park in the lot next to OneC1ty - it's a bit easier to get in and out of, and a bit cheaper if you're planning to stay for awhile. The vibes inside are cool - if you're into artsy skulls, this is the place for you. I've been here three times, and haven't strayed too far from my go-to cold brew with almond milk. The service has always been fast and friendly, and if you visit in the afternoon, you should have no issues snagging a table (although be warned that there aren't many outlets!)

Their pour over selection was excellent. Somewhat tucked away from the hustle and bustle of downtown which was nice. We went on a Sunday and the service was fast, the staff was super friendly and I would most definitely come back here again!

Hands down one of my favorite coffee shops in town. They're one of the few who serve a good lavender latte! They're very friendly whenever I come in and are patient with me when I can't make up my mind on what to order. Lots of seating available and in such a prime location. This doesn't matter but I'm a sucker for anything skull and skeleton related so I naturally I'm attracted to this place!

Their drinks are absolutely delicious! We took home some of their beans and have been enjoying them in our homemade lattes. 10/10 do recommend.

Sump Coffee really takes their coffee seriously. This is a great place to go if you like pour-overs since they have an extensive list of options from different regions of the world. You'll pay a premium for the coffee, but it really is world class and great for coffee lovers. This place is located inside One C1ty, and there's an underground parking garage with free parking for Sump patrons. There's plenty of inside with big picture windows that get lots of sunshine. The service is great, if you're stumped on what to get, the staff is very knowledgeable and won't steer you wrong.

YUM! really good latte like wow. very pretty too. their cups are so pretty. i saw someone get an iced matcha and it looked sooo good. i'm going back tomorrow to buy the matcha. parking: i parked in garage below and you get two hours for free. the elevator from the garages brings you right into the building that the coffee shop is in. free parking around in other lots but you'd have to walk further, the garage is best option i think. bathroom: such a nice bathroom i gave it a 10/10 i really enjoyed it. it's not inside the coffee shop you exit and it's in the building but i love the door and there is a water fountain where u can refill water bottles. update: i got the matcha and it was beautiful and so yummy. not sweet and pretty normal but i enjoyed it lots!

Very friendly staff here! My ham and cheese croissant was yummy as well. I've been here twice on the weekend and it is absolutely impossible to get a seat. I knocked off another star because my husband's coffee cup was leaky. No big deal, he went and let them know since we were still there, and they replaced it. Then the second one leaked as well and we were in the car by that point! I'm a non- coffee drinker so I asked him if he's ever experienced that before and he said never, that's very unusual and not good that it happened twice. Also, I'm still befuddled that their loose leaf tea was $7 per cup.

Easy review: great coffee, great service, and great atmosphere. I had an americano and it was smooth and well done. Love the logo. Inside has plenty of seating for work or convo with friends. Artwork inside and very nice coffee bar. Would return! Parking inside garage in the building with multiple other businesses surrounding area.

If you gave Sump anything less than five stars you are nuts! Their coffee is SO GOOD. The staff was really friendly and my drink came out quickly and most importantly, DELICIOUS. Also, check out their other shop in Berry Hill, Petrichor. I love the vibe of the branding and the menu.

Overall the Chocolate croissant and expresso drinks were great. The service was friendly and quick. The coffee shop was cozy and quiet.

Service was great and the cafe seems like a great place to get some work/studying done. However, the iced matcha latte tasted like watery milk. Even with the addition of lavender syrup, the matcha was so bland. This truly might just be the worst iced matcha latte I have ever had. Maybe the coffee is better?

Great punk vibes and AMAZING espresso, which are like two top priorities. Cute in for seating, even nicer outdoor area, friendly staff. Def grab an earth angel, a seasonal latte w/ an amazing basil mint syrup - it maybe sounds weird but I promise, it's so good and refreshing!!

Everyone I'm in Nashville I stop here. They use a pour steady machine to execute the pour over experience. The good news about this is you can try a variety of coffee. Branding is great. Atmosphere is good. Parking can be tricky so park in the garage next door. Staff and service was so good. They answered all my questions and had a real passion for coffee

I've visited Sump twice. The first time, I tried to get their Conversation Hearts Coffee Crawl drink but they ran out of the sauce that made it special, so I opted for a chai. Not my favorite chai, but drinkable. The second time I got their famous pour over and I was wired all day long. I didn't realize how strong it would be - I had it black so no frills! Loved how much you got, but now I know to share it. Good flavor. The seating isn't my favorite in the place - bar stools can be super uncomfortable & all the tables were taken by people working. This is more of a preference. High tech machines & great branding in the spot. Lots of lighting, not too loud, good for chatting or working.

I had heard great things about Sump Coffee, and I was very excited to try it. The location itself is nice and has tables perfect for studying. The employees were also very nice. I got a Lavender Latte, but I was very underwhelmed. I could barely taste the coffee. The lavender was giving more of a parsley flavor which was very off putting. Perhaps, I went on an off day, but there's better coffee spots in Nashville.

Great coffee, friendly staff, spacious location, Sump Coffee has it all! They also have cute merch, including a coffee mug that I may be back to buy! I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon for a quick coffee pick-me-up. I wish I could remember the name of coffee I had, but what I do remember is that hot honey in it. It was so delicious. I'll have to scan the menu again the next time I go to find and order it again!

It was okay--nothing to write home about. The coffee itself was good, but not quite $8-for-a-small good (think Starbucks tall in size). The space is beautifully lit and aesthetically pleasing, but a bit on the noisy side. Staff were fine--not particularly friendly, but not rude either. Overall, an average experience that didn't quite live up to the hype.

Coffee is okay, but wifi is terrible! Don't go here to do a little work. Need to improve

Staff is always so kind and this is one of my favorite coffee shops in Nashville! Plenty of parking, lots of seating inside and outside, and fun specialty drinks.

A neat place with lots of tables and chairs where you can work or study or have a first date! I ordered one of the teas ($7), which was a bit more expensive than I would like but there is free refills--they also seem to change out the tea flavors, so the Yelp menu pictures may be outdated. The tea and refills came out within a few minutes. Staff were friendly. The ambiance was warm and inviting--I got a lot of work done (though I didn't note any outlets or at least they were not obvious to me). Also, the underground parking is free (for 2h I think). Would come back to work here.

I can't speak on the food, as I didn't try any pastries or anything. I didn't see any gluten free options either. However, this place had a really chill and quiet vibe. People were sipping their coffee, working on their computers and overall seemed happy to be here! It was very cute and clean. I am totally digging their bearded skull logo! The coffee was super awesome! Not too many flavor options but I did go with the vanilla bean latte and it didn't disappoint! The service was great, as I was greeted upon entering and proceeded to the counter to check it all out. I was quickly tended to and waited only a few short minutes for a sip of heaven! I do recommend this if your looking for a spot to grab a good cup of Java, pull out the laptop for some work, or browsing, it was super quiet and chill! They obviously offered Wi-Fi too! The barista seemed really into his crafting of great sips! If I'm ever back, passing through this area of Nashville, I'll be sure to stop back by for a coffee!

Odd location- at a medical complex- so a little off the beaten path. But TOTALLY worth it. When I stay in Vanderbilt I usually grab some Poindexter Coffee over at the Graduate- which is the only acceptable coffee up there in proximity. But they don't do pour overs. SUMP is the real deal if you want the selection of beans and brewing methods to choose from. Baristas are impeccable and super nice. Costa Rican pour over was the best coffee I've had in nashville up to that point. Highly recommend by my coffee snob sensibilities. Plenty of tables to sit and the ambience is cool- it overlooks some back lawn w some hipster food trucks and a stage of some sort. Anyway, thank me later.

Tasty coffee and the servers were nice. But heads up the WiFi isn't good--so not the spot for those working remotely.

Super cool location and a great place for when it gets warmer. The coffee is a bit overpriced and weak for my tastes but I do love the vibes.

I loved the sumpkin flavoring in my Americano! Hands down the best coffee I've had in Nashville!

My new favorite local coffee shop! The Columbia brew is delicious and the service is great. I love the vibe here with all the live plants. Gives such a great ambiance.

Gotta check this place out if you have the chance. Once you solve the riddle of getting into the shop you're well rewarded

Stopped for a cup of regular coffee. I was thinking, because it's not on the main road, will be more convenient to choose this location. You have to park in the garage on the first level and go floor up using elevator. Ambiance is very nice and pleasant environment. Service is average, but then I was surprised to learn that regular coffee is served only till Noon. After that only Pour over coffee for $6 a cup. I choose to go for cappuccino instead. It was more a latte. Not impressed, but it have a potential to improvement.

This place was great. A nice quiet little coffee shop in an upcoming, trendy neighborhood. Clean, colorful and sharp aesthetics with great eclectic music and good customer service. I was greeted warmly at the door and made to feel welcome while I was here. The place smells amazing with notes of wood and fresh, unburnt coffee. And the chocolate milk latte was delicious. Not overly sweet or too chocolate-y it was the right balance of coffee and mocha. And a nice touch...the barista spent a little extra time and his energy to the pour and foam art even knowing the lid was going to be put on it and I would never see it; that speaks to me of dedication and passion to his profession. Sadly I think this place's location is too off the beaten path, behind the Pastaria and the building, and it was a lot slower than I would have expected it to be on a Friday morning. And while the quiet, calm, slow pace was definitely part of the charm I would much rather see them thrive. Go visit this place!

We are passing through Nashville Stopped for the night, close by the hotel we came upon Sump Coffee We had our dog with us, Sump was so nice that they allow dogs inside while ordering! So appreciated because the heat was just miserable! The barista was fast and very nice The coffee was delicious I will returm tomorrow on my way out of town

My husband loves a well made pour over and was excited to see a Poursteady because that usually means it will be made right. He said his pour over tasted good but the grind wasn't completely dialed in because it was lacking some flavor from too coarse a grind. The girl working was very nice and chatted with us and even gave us some recommendations on places to try.

Amazing rich coffee - such a nice surprise to find within walking distance of our hotel. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic cuppa!

Great coffee which is easy to grab since I currently live in the neighborhood. A little pricey but the coffees are all delicious and very well made. Outside they have a patio with bags and bocce ball to play. Dogs also allowed on the patio. Small snack/food options and they have beans to go as an option as well! Parking on the street in front of Pastaria.

One of my new favorite coffee shops in town. Lots of windows, a good amount of indoor seating (although a tiny negative is there aren't a lot of outlets), a pretty outdoor area, music is not too loud (I really dislike when the background music is blaring - makes it hard to study or talk), free parking in the garage, tasty coffee, and VERY friendly baristas. Ive had the Vanilla Bean Latte (both iced and hot versions), which is really good. Definitely will be back!

The shop was upbeat and the proprietor appears to know her stuff. But the overall feel was not welcoming. My espresso was not bad.

The hot honey latte was so delicious and also gorgeous - which I was not expecting so it was an extra pleasant surprise. The drink had a pretty pink hue and the espresso flavor came through well. It also wasn't too sweet - I would absolutely order this again. The shop has a nice open space with the bar's layout and the barista was nice, greeting us when we walked in and answering any questions we had. Would highly recommend this spot for an afternoon or morning pick-me-up, it's a short walk from centennial park.

Great atmosphere with super friendly staff. The coffee was unique with an acquired taste, I'll give it a 4/5. I got the Carmel latte and my wife got sumpkin spice latte.

First stop as we drank offer throughout Nashville. Certainly each had a latte, one plain and one with vanilla. Both were fantastic, with great roast notes and wonderful warmth. We also shared an herb croissant which was also fantastic! The only downside was the significant amount of construction happening in the business park where the shop is located making parking a little rough.

Never written a review so fast. Overpriced and rude. Kids basically too busy doing nothing to care. Iced coffee with an ad shot was 9.95. Yes 10 dollars for a cold red eye. Them forgot my sweetener. And then of course the awesome eye roll and attitude when I went back. Funny I asked myself how they could survive just selling coffee (no food except a plate of muffins on the counter). Now I know why.

Came back and had the vanilla bean latte this time. It was just okay. I didn't really taste any vanilla in the coffee, so I definitely recommend the caramel latte over this one! However, like I said before, it's very pricey. I paid $6.56 for the latte with regular milk.

If you are looking for a good pour over option this is your spot. Parking garage below the building has free parking for up to 2 hours. Great working environment while I was there.

Great space here!! Love the huge windows and natural light, spacious interior, lots of tables.. I like that they have a decent selection of pastries - it's sometimes hard to find that. They also have a good selection of coffee-making accessories, making it convenient to pick up something if needed.

Stopped by here for a quick espresso drink and it did not disappoint! The cappucino was great, no acidity to it. Bright interior with outdoor seating as well. Garage parking available.

Bright atmosphere with very friendly staff. Ethiopian pour over was on the bit of a hot side with bit burnt taste. Yes, I'm also bit of a snob when it comes to coffee and pour over. That said, wife liked it with some cream (I drink straight). Parking was interesting with some random lady asked or forcing us to scan and put in our personal phone number. this was street parking. I would recommend and might go back if better parking was in places.

Phenomenal coffee, not too bougie, great service. Well-lit, good wifi, comfy seating. If I were still in school, I'd be studying here daily.
